AlNENT THE
 WORLDS SERIES.

Well, the Braves copped the Worlds Series after all and better still they broke a worlds record by taking the first four games of the series. Chica- go Cubs back in 1908 took four straight from the Detroit ri gerss but sandWiched in was a tWelve-innin tie game 373, but the Braves went them one better by coming from behind in the tenth inning Of one game tieing the score and winning the game in the twelfth by scoring another run.
 I did not have the honor of witness ing any of the games either at Shibe Park or Fenway Park, SO took it up on myself to take in a few games at the Armory. where the Jackson Player was on exhibition.
 The Player pleased me Immensely, almost, as much as if I was at one of the games at FenWay Park. The fans will no doubt be surprised to learn that two of the operators of the Jackson Player are first class ball player One of them Eyho acted as catcher. will play with Toronto of the International League next sea- son His name is Frankie Jordan of Scranton, Pa.

 Credit is due for the clever 1nanipu- lation of the wonderful apparatus to Jack Lewis and Denny Maher both Scranton boys They had 9 hard crowd of recruits to handle. therefore they are deserving of unstinted praise for the success of the Jackson Player in Bridgeport. If the player ever again comes to Bridgeport we want to see Jack Lewis and Denny Maher at the helm
 Five former Connecticut leaguers were on the roster of the contesting teams and but three of them took ac- tive part in the series, they being shortstop Barry of the Athletics who played with M eriden, Walsh Of the same team who was star with Northampton few years ago and Schmidt Of the Worlds S. Champion Boston team who was a pitcher on the Holyoke team about four years ago. The non-partieIpants who ere for n1er Connecticut Ieaguers were Ira Thomas who caught for Hartford about ten years ago, and utility tn- fielder Kopf of the Athletics, who wasn't fast enough for New Haven about four years ago.

ACORN A. c. HOLDS
 MONTHLY SMOKER.
lBY ..oId. Ngan -esrl111lT,. at Fsinggalde.l

(By ssOId Man Gru1nT1' at Ringside.)
 The Acorn A. c. held their monthly smoker in the club rooms on Kossuth street, hunsday evening, about 500 followers Of the roped arena being present. Five entertaining bouts were served to please the fans the feature bout Of the evening being the one between Irish O'Brfen and Fighting Dick. Rowan, Slim Bren- nan's new White Hope Rowan won the battle on points, he having the first three rounds of the four round set-to. The curtain raiser was a corker between Young Hogan and Mickey Lyons In my opinion. it was a corktng draw. Tn the first round Lyons hoored Hogan with right to the jaw, but thereafter it was nip and tuck, bothe boys giving the fans 9 good run for their money.
 The second bout was, as one wag" called it a Tango Dance between Y oung3 Denny and Mickey Ramsey, by name but not by nature. Ramsey and Denny are ardent supporters of lChristoforo Colombo although some of my readers may think that they were members of the Ancient Order Of HIbernfans- Racsey was the most willing of the two, while Denny was like 9 grasshopper, lodging his oppo- nent at all times and never willing to mix it. The third bout was between 1 Young Nooran and Kid Handy from 1 Lewiston, Maine. In the third round 1 Handy put over a left to Noonan's jaw l and the bout was over This lad I Handy has one of the best left hand kicks that has been seen in Bridge port in years and all he needs is a little training and a good manager and he will soon be heard from. The star bout was a rather tame affair be- tween Teddy Hubbs of Pfttsburg and l Dick Miller from New Haven. This is the same Miller that was laid to sleep by Young McAuliffe 9 year ago cision on points.
 Harry Morrissey pleased the fans present with a clever rendition of that popular ballad entitled Playing the I Game of Love-
 We then had McCue and Harvey with their banjos and they were fol lowed with a few selections on the Irish Bagpipes by the celebrated Irish lpoper Pat Toohey.

 The fans received big surprise when it was made k1ovvr4 that Billy. Williams would referee the bouts. Bill Iy. is an old member of the club who has just returned from a two years trip to the coast. Williams was the classiest looking referee that has ever handled about in this city. His work was beyond reproach and he kept the boys working at all times. Give us a little more of the like of Williams as the third man in the ring and the fans may rest assured that they will get their moneys worth.
 Among the prominent men at the ringside were the following: Judge Thomas c. CoughIin; County Cofnnis- si oner Simeon Pease: Sheriff William vollmer; Alderman John osConnell, Earl Garick,. Paul Miller. Isaac Moo rey and Malcolm MacFayden5 Fire Commissioner John H. Tague; Jim Kelly; former Town Clerk Robert Weber; Dad Barber and Fritz Hart mann.
 Announcer Brennan at the close of the bouts had the following to say in regard to the boxing game in this city: sGentlemen, it is the idea of the Acorn club to have a smoker of this kind once every month. The game is practically dead in this city, for the simple reason that the boxers are de- manding Federal League salaries for six rounds of Boston Brave fighting (by that mean Staling.) Until they lower their prices the. Acorn A. c. will positively refuse to talk busi- ness with them,
 Refreshments and sandwiches were passed out to the fans during the in- termission.

Norman Selby, to give the Kid his right and proper name, was born Oct. 171s73 in a Hoosier village about forty miles from Indianapolis.

In 1893 he got a. job as assistant cook in Bob F4tzsd1rl- : mons training camp, and. without letting 1t be known that he was a professional boxer, he watched Bob at work and finally got a. trial as spar ring partner. Mccoy was then little more hEaan a lightweight. and he took q lot of hard knocks. from the freckIed fellow. but at the same time he gafned valuable experience When FYtz quit the nniddlewedght division McCoy claimed the title. and held it against all corners al ltfao71ssil his claim sli was disputed by Tommy Ryan.

Old Doctor Otis Crandan. who came back strong with the St. Louis Feds this year, will celebrate his twenty
 sixth birthday. Doe was born ii Fowler, Ind, and played independent ball in his native state before he busted into the league game on the twfrling staff of the Cedar Rapids Three-I club. He was going along strong, having won about nine-tenths of his games when one day the man ager used cuss words in his presence, and Otis went away from there. Eventually the manager wrote Otis an apology, ana he returned to Cedar Rapids where McGraw also started his league career. Muggsy always had a, fondness for the Iova. city. and when he heard of CrandalI he decid- ed to give him a trial. With the Giants Otis acquired the name of .sDoc'' because he was always right there to give first aid to the injured when a. pitcher went to pieces. He saved many a game for the Giants, and won reputation as the greatest itzt7l44sty man in the pastime. The Polo
