 Joe was a town lad, and he poked fun at the s'Fufbe'' and Threatened to eat him alive The bogus countryKaan after a few awkward moves, soon tore loose, and the crowd realized that they had been stung and that fSawneys' was not as green as he looked. Jem's friends had put up a lot of money on him at good odds and this enraged the spectators. Ward had no sooner knocked out his opponent than the cry of lynch him. went up, and Jem had to run for his life.
 Ward and his friends were glad to escape from the mob with their lives, and didn't wait to collect the purse of their winnings. Ward was not the only ringer who came to grief. A modern instance was afforded in Butte, Mont, about eleven years ago, when Nose Lafontise, a. good fighter who was touring the country as a. ringer went up against a young feI- low named Stanley KetcheI. The cow boy, although a novice at the game, fought Lafontise to a. standstill for twenty-four rounds, and knocked him out.

 SHADED BY
 AL WEIHERT

In 8 ten-round bout before a big crowd in the Broadway Sporting Club ofsBrooklyn Al Weinert Of Orange out pointed Battling Levinsky last night. The bout was a corker, and the honors were in doubt up till the, last two rounds, when the JerseyTnan by a Garrison" finish captured the laureIs. Weinert took the honors in five of the ten rounds.
 The battle was pippin. and it was plain that there was no love lost be tween the dueIists. Weinert fought a remarkably clean fight. while Levin sky, who seldom tries any rough stuff, frequently was jeered and boohed for .Donnybroolx tactics Danny sMorgan's protege several times was cautioned for head work''-his billy goat rushes enrag5ng the crowd. The BattIer also used his elbows, and once or twice was caught heeIing.
 The men were as evenly matched specimens of physical manhood as one could hope to see. Levinsgy sealed 1T31k pounds, while Weinert tipped the beam at an even s174. Weinert had a shade the advantage of height and looked to also have hair as regards reach.

 OF RING BATTLES

1s91-Gus Christie, the German American middleweight, born in Mil waukee- He began boxing as an anna teur at the age of IS, and entered the professional ranks about four years ago. A majority of his early contests fought principally in Milwaukee, were won by knockouts. In 1911 he began to- take on some of the good perform CTS, and made a fine showing in bouts with Freddie Hicks, George K O. Brown and Mike Gibbons As a pro- fessional he first tasted defeat on Oct 23, 1912, when he lost to Jack Dillon, the Scotch-Irish-Hoos5 middle weight, in a 15-round contest at Day ton, O. A little later he fought Dillon to a. 10-round draw at Indianapolis Last year Christie was outp ointed by Eddie McGoorty in 10 rounds at Fond du Lac, Wis, and was defeated by Mike Gibbons in 2 rounds at Boston At one time Christie looked like a coming champion Of the middIeweight class. but he wasn't quite good enough to deliver.

BOLTS BEAT
 NEW BRITAIN
 IN HOT GAME

New Britain, July Timely hits. mixed with free transportation, gave Bridgeport victory over the New Britain team here yesterday afternoon at Electric Field, 10 to B. Heath and Moves featured the contest with home runs over the left field fence but Walsh kept the rest of the team well in hand and allowed only nine hits. a number rather above his average but nevertheless. so scattered that they were of little use.
 Wilson was hit consistently when there were men on bases and was not effective at any time except in the fourth. fifth and ninth. The chief feature of the contest was the inter pretatton that Umpire Keenan put upon the ground rules. In the sixth inning, Bridgeport had three men on bases when Crook came to bat and banged the ball into the winery that adorns the right field fence. Umpire Keenan averred that the ball struck to the right of a designated post which is the dividing line between two base and three base hits It might be men toned that the leloister like trimmings are poison ivy and the rule was made to save the he1ders from digging into it with their bare hands
 Owner Scinski was of the opinion that the ball did, not go in the vines but hit the renee ana Doundeu AAlo IAs helder's hands. TetreauIt threw to third and stopped the procession by putting out Bowman. Under the rul- ing. Bowman was not out and Ems also made the plate
 Bridgeport started the fFacas by summing up three runs in the opening stanza on three hits and a pass The second netted them two on a two bag ger, two singles and an error by Moves.
 Bridgeport had increased it's nun Der to five in the fourth with two sin gIes and tucked the game away in the seventh when four runs were net ted with three passes. and three bag ger which Umpire Keenan decided and a single. The score:

LAJOlE TO HAVE TROUBLE MAKING
 HIS 5000 HITS

If Larry Lajoie hopes to follow Hans Wagner into the 5000 Hit Club before the curtain is rupg down on the present season the sluggfng Cievelander will have to show far greater activity with tKle willow dur he has shown to date. The half way mark of the present campaign will be reached next week and LaJoie has come far from gathering one-ha1f the number of hits he needed when the race began.
 The opening game of the present season showed La5oie 108 hits under the 5000 mark. His eighteen years as a, major leaguer had produced D. 892 hits. To get 108 hits in a season seemed comparatively easy for slug ger of the Lajoie, type who had been good for between ITS and zoo a, sea- son, year after year. But with the season almost half completed the task begins to loom up difficult one af- ter all.
 Has Made Only A Hits.
 The latest unofficial American Lea que averages credit I.a1oie with for ty-two hits, which would make his total 2,934. He must make sixty six hits before he can be crowned a member of the Three Thousand Club.
 Illness has been mainly responsible for Lajoie's present shortage of hits the smallest number that he has own ed at this stage of the race since he began to batter down fences in Phil adelphia eighteen years ago. To go into July with less than a half hun dred hits is indeed rarity in the ca reere of the noted batsman. He was stricken early in the present month with an attack of tonsiIItis and pinch hitting was the extent of his activi- ties for the next three weeks.

Guilford, Conn. July 1-The. tug Harold, with two barges, bound light from New London to New York on rush orders, is ashore on the sand bar at the north end of Faulkner's Island today.
