BOLTS LOSE WHEN PITCHER
 IS HIT HARD
Bv WaguT)


 Owner Bill Scinski of the New Br1- tain club ordered two rounds or pie for his players at the Atlantic hotel table d'hote last night The Sinks had just won a game from Bridgeport and as victory hasn't been playing any engagements in New Britain re- gently the boss of the tailenders felt like being a spendthrtft The score was to 5.
 It was a crime for Bridgeport to lose the game as the Bolts were ahead by to 1 until the hfths Ray Will Hams, who had been going along well, was smashed for a couple of runs in the fifth and then was pounded again in the eighth He was replaced by Tuckey after the score was tied but F'lannery singled and brought in the winning tally. Williams gets credit for the defeat as the player he allow ed to get on base scored the winning run. The Bolts gave Williams high class support but he couldn't keep the ball away from New Britain.
 General Hancock of New Britain was shelled off the mound in the sec- ond after the Bolts had gathered four runs in two innings Smith, who fin ished the battle, had Bridgeport help less. The only run scored off him was made in the fourth when Stow stole home. Manager BouItes, Hall- man and Stow were the leading hit ters. Stow and Boultes had a doue ble and single.

TOM ALIENS CAREER
 HAD STORMY SCENE

Boxing bouts of today are pink tea affairs compared with the contests which were pulled off in the early days Of the American ring. To prove the point, one could cite scores of battles in, which pistols as well as fists were used. One of these was witnessed on Fosters Island, in the Mississippi, forty-fiye years ago to- day, July Is, 186es when Tom Allen fought Mike NdcCoo1e :. Allen had all the best of 1t and at the end of nine rounds was declared the victor, but the followers of AlcCooley mostly tougE1s from St. Louis, were peeved by the decision and a general roolus followed Armed with revoIvers and knives, they swaFmed around the ref cree, and after a few bullets had whfzzed past his head that official de- cided that Mike was the Vtctor on a; foul. Allen was 8 native of Birning- ham, England, and whipped a num- Der of good men, and fought a drawn battle, lasting nearly two hours, with Joe Goss before coming to America He landed in New York. accompanied by Pete Morris, the British feather weight champion, in July, 1867. His introduction to American sports was when he acted as second for Tom Kelly, of St. John, N. B., and Billy Parkinson. The latter was easily the master, but Allen, backed up by a gang of Ba9timore and Philadel plnia. sports who had put their money on the Canadian, pulled a gun and stuck it in the referees Sace, demanding that. he award the decision to the beaten Kelly. The official had red gore in his veins and refused to com ply with the request, Whereupon the festivities broke up in a free-for-all fight, and all present enjoyed a. good time Allen then went to St. Louis. a great pug1listic center. and his first bout on American soil was with Bill Davis, a Californian, on an island near the Mound City Tom was the victor in forty-three rounds. but a little later the, Englishman was knocked. out in the second chapter by Charlie Gallagher of Cleveland. Then came the disgracefu1 fight with Mo Coo1e, after which Allen fought Gal Iagher again. Tom pounded the CIeve- land man into a bloody pulp, but a pistol stuck in the referees face re- suited in the awarding of the de- cisfon and the stakes to Gallagher. Allen then claimed the American ti- tie and challenged lem Mace to battle for the worlds title. They fought near New Orleans and Mace won in ten rounds, winning SIG. GOO lem made a triumphAl tour of the States and Canada, and returned to England, when Allen again claimed the title. Tn 1873, he fought McCoole again and whipped him in twenty nine rounds. Aliens last battle was pulled off in Kentucky in 1876, when he was whip ped by Joe GosS The men were ar rested, but Allen fled to England. Later he returned and settled in St. Louis, where he died in 1904

bunch, went down to defeat, he pitch ed g. Inasterly gahneeof ball and was beaten mainly because Geist was the stronger. Jensen at times was in clined to be wild, even during the early stages of the game, giving nine passes, and he weakened perceptibly in the twenty third. for the two bases on balls that he gave to the first two men up in that inning paved the way for his defeat. He was touched up for twelve hits. one more than New Haven secured.
 In the nineteenth inning Keliher went over to the ice water stand at the New Haven bench. Some words were passed, just what nobody knows, and in, twinkling Keliher and Waters were at it with their fists The players Jumped in and separated them, but not without a struggle in which a few wild blows landed upon the peacemak- CTS, and Ke1iher was chased from the game, Garry at last awakening to the fact that Waters should be put off the field entirely, sending him to the club house, and Keliher out of the grounds. Chief Snyder went in at first in place of Keliher and finished the game there.

New Haven. July 15--In the great est baseball game ever staged in the Eastern Association. a contest that was record breaker for length in this cir cult, the Hartford champions -yester- day defeated the New Haven White Wings, 2 to |, in a contest that re- quired twenty three fnningsNto hnd the victorious club. It was a remarkable contest in more ways, than one. and has been exceeded in length only twice in the history of professional baseball, Bloomington and Decatur having play ed .twenty-six innings May 31s 1909. and the Red Sox and Athletics twenty four innings September 1, 1908. It is a record for the Eastern Association, far excelling anything in the line of long games ever pulled off in this league, the nearest thing to it being an eighteen inning game between New Haven and Holyoke a few years ago.
 , Clyde Geist, rthe steady and reliable twirler of the Senators. was the man who turned the trick, going the whole distance and showing excellent form from the first to the last inning.

 Tn regard to the protest made by Manager Conne11 of New Haven on last Saturdays game at Hartford, the league executive has ruled that the Elm City pilot had no ground for com pIaint. Umpire Garry reports that there were three on bases and one out when Hoey4 of Hartford hit ball which was called an infeld fly by. the umpire. The ball was not caught by shortstop Pope of New Haven but in stead was kicked by the player and rolled into the crowd. According to the ground rule a ball into the crowd was good for two bases and Barney, who was on second at the time was entitled to go home. A New Haven player rescued the ball from the crowd and touched Barney as he was round ing third and New Haven declared Barney should have been called out.
