BAD THROWS LOSE
 CLOSE BATTLE
.Rv Wagner.l


 -Sonebody ought to be sent to Siberia for the loss of that game to New Ha-s ven yesterday and we nominate Catch CT Crook. The Bridgeport backstop had the fans at NewT1eId tearing their hair when he made Q couple Of solid concrete plays that gave New Haven two runs. The worst example came in the eighth when Bridgeport was ahead by to 2. New Haven had run ners on second and th4BS< two out and two strikes on a. weak hitter. Here Crook made himself a member of the In Bad club by delivering a useless throw, which was aimed at second but went to center field. This allowed Miller to score the tieing run And on the next ball the batter struck out. Tn the first inning Crook gave New Haven a run by making wild throw to third.
 Martin Walsh. who 1abored for Bridgeport, was hit harder than in any previous game, but even at that he should have won Although New Ha- ven had men on bases in every inn ened in dangerous times.
 New Haven gathered 13 hits, five Of them scratches.
 Landi started to 11t1rl for the wings but his lame knee gave out in the third and Hyder Barr was called in from left field to pitch. Hyder had a dinky curve but by getting the ball to five hits and no runs The Bolts slammed him hard enough but most of the drives went straight at field CTS.
 Manager Jake Bou1tes led in the at tack on Barr with two singles and a sacrifice. Tierney had two singles and a pass

FANS MAY RAISE
 COIN TO HELP OUT
 NEW BRITAIN CLUB

New. Britain, Aug. 15.-There may be hope of saving the New Britain baseball team of. the Eastern Baseball association yet, so that it may finish the season, and if such a condition does come about it will be due to the merchants of New Britain who are to be asked to contribute a. sum in the neighborhood of $1, 800 to help Owner William Scinslki out of the hole in which he now finds himself
 Steps were taken towards this end yesterday afternoon when a confer ence was held between MT. Scinsxi and Mayor George A. Quigley. They made arrangements to call a meeting of prominent baseball fans next Tues day evening at o'clock at the Hotel Beloin to see if enough money can be pledged to pull the team through the season. Mayor Quigley and MT. Scin- ski went over a list of names and an- nounced afterwards that if they could secure 100 men who would contribute S15 each the New Britain team would be able to finish the season and be in a position to make a clean start next year.

U. s. TENNIS TEAM BEATEN
 IN DOUBLES

Americas hopes of retaining the Davis Cup received a rude jolt yes terday afternoon in the big arena of the West Side Tennis club at Forest Hills, l. I.
 In the doubles contest. upon which the success of the Yankee team was expected to hinge. Maurice P, Mo Loughlin and Thomas c. Bundy were defeated by Norman p. Brookes and Anthony F. wi1ding, the Austraiasian challengers, in straight sets, giving the Antipodea.ns two points to America g one. The scores were 6=3t 8-9. 9-7.
 While the battle was much more keen1y fought than the tally would in dicate, there was nlista,king the superiority of the oversees combine tfon at all stages. They played as a team while the Californians lacked concerted action and proved marks for the generalship of the veteran pair from the Antipodes. It was seen early chance against it's rivals. but the biz gathering kept hoping against hope that the invincIb1e and almighty Me Loughlin, king of the courts from sea to sea- would come through with one of his worid-famous rallies.
 z Rally he did on more than one oc- casion, but 1t would have taken even more than two McIsough1fnH as the mighty Mac played yesterday to have disposed of Wi1ding and Brookes. There was little that was truly i'm pressfve about the play of the AustraI- asians. Here and there they gave am tional exchanges but in the main they had nothing beyond steadinesz, which, it must be conceded, is quite a handy thing to possess.

The Bridgeport club is in bad shape again, due to an injury to Bowman which will keep the fast second base man out of the pastirne until next Tuesday at least. Several days ago in batting practice Pitcher McCabe hit Bowman on the back. Bowman thought nothing of the matter at the time, but later began to feel sharp pain and yesterday he was in agony during the game with New Haven. A physician who examined hirn last night said Bowman had received a bad blow in the kndneys, which might result seriously if he did not rest a few days.
 Manager Boultes will probably use senno at second and send Gezvais to left unless tDisbrow, the new out fielder. reports. Disbrow is from Tuckahoe N Y., and has done fine work with semi-pro teams around New York. Several scouts advised Manager Bou1tes to give Dfsprow q trial. The youngster was duet re- port today.

 Chris O'Brien of Tom McCann,s un- pire staff has been signed up by pres fdent Magner to fill the position left Hilsinger. O'Brien according to all reports is making good in the Indus trial League and the Park City League was indeed fortunate in securing his services at this time. It is very hard matter to secure competent ar biters in this city and then if you do get hold of a good one he won't work unless he gets an offer which will conn pare favorab1y with the ones that the Federal League are making to some of Ban Johnson's staff.

 BRIDGEPORT BADLY CRIPPLED Snappy Snapshots Of Interest To Those Who Follow Sporting
 Event;

There is a. report that Pitcher Ca1d- we'll of the New Y ork Americans will jumped to the Buffalo Feds. He was recently fined $500 for going on a ram page on the recent Western trip. In spite Of his shortcomings Caldwell is one of the greatest twirlers in the game. The only thing he lacks is sense.
 The Sprin gfield Ponies will stack up against Bridgeport tomorrow. Man ager Si Mcdonald has the Ponies go-H ing fine as we know by recalling that recent doub1e-header in which Walsh downed Springfield by close scores. So there will probably be a good crowd out tomorrow. Geryais or Blum will labor for the Bolts.
 The Davis Tennis cup doubles re- suited yesterday as most people ex- pected. Mclaughlin and Bundy fought ganeIy, but were no match for those wonderful invaders, Brookes and Wilding. In order to retain the cup Mclaughlin must beat Wilding today and Williams must wanquish Brookes.
 In addition to pitching a steady game, Hyder Barr of New Haven, got three hits yesterday at Newfeld. He was given 8 cheap one in the ninth when his high fly was allowed to drop safe between Bowman, Ems and Hall man.. mere were two out ana no DOdy on at the time. but this caKe1essness paved the way for victory for Pope followed with 9 triple

EXHAUSTION HALTS
FIGHTING IN FRANCE

Paris, Oct 30.-Actual physical ex-
haustion has seriously interfered with
the fighting in Northern France. To
that and not to any serious defeat of
the Germans is attributed the pres
ent slackening In the contest. Both
sides have lost very heavily.
The allies have not attempted any
general advance and both sides are
contenting themselves with an ex-
change of shots by the artillery along
the line.
Dispatches received here from the
front say that the Germans are still
bringing up fresh reinforcements.
Thousands of new troops from the
reserve sections are proceeding south
through Belgium. 1t is expected an
other attempt TO advance will be soon
under way from Nieuport to Dixmude
and between Lille and Arras.
Meanwhile the allied lines have
been very strongly reinforced and are
prepared II the next assault is check

Notwithstanding their dauntless at
tacks and heavy sacrifices of life, the
Germans are further from the coast

The one great factor on which the
allies build their hopes of an eventual
