 Jim Coffey, the Irish middleweight, whom Billy Gibson thinks Is a real conner. demonstrated that he has the punch when he put Soldier Kearns out in one round at Philadelphia. the oth- CT night. From all accounts Coffey has the making of really good heavyweight and the New York pro- moter Is evidently we'll posted in se- lectfng Coffey to take abroad to meet Bombadier Wells, the British cham pion. Coffey has had a number of good fights the past year and has shown Improvement right along. For big man he Is fairly fast on his feet and has a. kick in either hand that his opponents cannot help but have respect for. If he is matched with Bombadier Wells, it will be a good bet that he puts Billy to sleep.

B. H. s. DEFEATS
 TAFT SCHOOL BY
 AID OF BIG WIND

Yesterday afternoon. the Bridgeport High School team journeyed to Wat ertown, and with the aid of a small hurricane defeated the Taft School team 8 to 4, in one of the best played games of the season. The two teams were evenly matched and at times put up an excellent brand of ball. The game was marked by the bril- liant pitching of Garfield of Taft and Lavery of the local ball tossers, Gar field allowing two less hits than La very who was touched up for eight, two of which were doubles. Garfield struck out 12 of red and black con- while Lavery made five of the up- state team fan the breeze, and allowed one pass
 Taft scored in the first inning. when Sweeney. the second man up, drove a hit into left field, took second when Charlie Taft, son of ex-President Taft, was thrown out by Lavery at first, and reached the home plate on McFee's drive for two bases into centerhe1d. In the second stanza, Taft put over an other tally when Clarke drove the ball into ce1lterfeld Tor two bases into centerfieId- Two more runs were added to score sheet for the prep school ball tossers in the sixth with the aid of three singles and a sacri- fee hit.
 With the score ? to 0 against them, the fifth inning determined to even things up Garfield, with two out, gave a pass to Lavery, who took sec ond when the Taft catcher dropped the bali. Just then Dame Fortune lent her aid to Bridgeport when she sent a small cyclone to help them out. Walters leaned on the second ball pitched to him and the wind carried 1t over the rightHeld fence. while La very and he were digging around the bases both crossing the platter Mem delsohn then dropped a bunt in front have been an easy out, but the Taft catcher decided otherwise for he hurled the ball over the fence behind f1rst base and Mende1sohn touched all the bases as well as the plate, adding another tally to the boys from home. Bridgeport scored in the seventh, when Garfield presented Hurley with a base on balls, getting to third when Mckee dropped 8 throw from the catcher to catch him at second and scored when Walters dumped the ball into left field for a single. Again in. the ninth a base on balls lost the ganne for Garfield, when Banks who took Cooney's place in the seventh, reach ed first by the walking route, reached second on wild throw by the catch eFs was advanced SIo third py cos groves drive into left field for a base, and scored on Porter's hit over the shortstop's head. Taft tried hard to overcome Bridgeport's lead in their half of the ninth, but brilliant run ming catch of CIarke's drive by Cos grove as the ball was going over his head saved the bacon for the students on the hill.
 The features of the game were Cos groves running catch, the batting and ne1ding of Porter, Walters home run, and the batting of Clarke and Mckee of the Taft team. The B. H. s. team will play the Hartford High School at Newfeld park, Saturday afternoon. The score:
