placed the cabinet in which repose
the white vestments in which the new
pope must be clothed the moment he
is elected. In order to meet the physi-
cal dimensions Of what ever cardinal
may be elected it is usually customary
to keep in the cabinet vestments Of
three different sizes.
All of these preparations were made
during the nine days Of the funeral
ceremonies of Pope Plus X. When
the cardinals and their suites enter
the conclave after the oath is taken,
pledges of secrecy are taken from the
servants, priests and all others whose
presence is necessary. The signal Is
then given for the walling up OF the
conclave. All corridors and adjoining
rooms are inspected and the grand
marshal seals up the doors from the
outside.
The cardinals at once divest. them
selves Of their regular robes and put
on a special dresss consisting Of al
hood cloak of violet wool, buttoned
down the breast. This is worn
throughout the conclave.

BLUM HANDS
 TRIMMING TO
 ELM CITY TEAM
(New Haven Journal-Courier.


 Bridgeport humfbIed New Haven at Savin Rock yesterday afternoon by a 6 to 2 score. There was no desperate struggle for the limb of supremacy, There was nothing even what one might call strenuous about it. It was one of those affairs in which one of the contestants snatches the upper hand early in the fray and the other possibility trails along.
 Southpaw Ramey sornamented the mound for the home clan while Fred dy Blum was the pitcher assigned by Manager Bou1tess to push New Haven deeper into the mire.. Blum was hit safely ten times but was effective in the pinches, besides being ably sup ported.
 Ramey, on the other hand, gave splendid demonstration of non-control by hitting three men, issuing passes to four others and capping his perform ance with two wild throws Waters was in difficulties throughout and ex- perfenced no little troubles in working with the cratic heaves. Four double plays. Slows base-running and two catches by Pepe kept the scattering multitude in good humor.
 Bridgeport scored once in the first round on Bowrnan's single and steal and a wild pitch. New Haven even ed the count in the third when Sher- wood doubled, reached third on Wa I CeTS ScdCT111C0, Ad>leI dleton's sharp single through the box.
 The visitors won the game in the fifth on a; scratch hit by Tierney, two passes a fieIder's choice and a huff by Waters which resulted in two runs. Tn the sixth round, hits by Bou1tes and Kearns, aided and abetted by a base on balls and a. sacrifice, gave the invaders two more tal1ies. New Ha- ven scored it's second run in the same inning on singles by Pendleton and Angermeir and two outs Bridge ports final run was the result of Slows fast work on the bases. The local boy beat out a bunt, stole sec- ond and third and scored on Senno's s safety to left field. Score:

DAVIS WINS NO HIT CAME
 FOR BOSTON

Boston. Sept. 1O-The Braves in creased their lead in the National League pennant race yesterday by dividing a double-header with the PhiIIies, while the Giants were falling before Brooklyn. &
 The games marked two extremes. In the first contest Philadelphia, had a waIkover, winning 10 to 3, while in the second game George Davis, a. young Boston pitcher, twirled a mo- hit; no-run game, and beat the Quak- CTS. to O.
 Davis, who was formerly with the New York Americans and who has been carefully coached aby Sta1lings all season, pitched a wonderful game. It was his first start in the National League though he had been used in rescue capacities.
 Davis had trouble with his control at times and issued five bases on balls. Davis was as strong at bat as he was in the box, and drove out three hits in four times up. lineup. -Rixey and Oeschger pitched for the Phi1lies in this game, and all were hit hard.
 Boston never had a chance in the first game, when the PhilIfes piled up a. seven-run lead in the first two in snings. Cochrehan, who held the Phil IesS to one run last Saturday, could not get the ball over in the first in- ming.

O'TOOLE POUNDED
 AND GIANTS LOSE

Somewhat fricassed by the present friendly call in Boston, the Giants eamped at the Polo Grounds yesterday and took a good sound beating from the Brooklyn Dodgers by g to 3. Just why any team should be beaten by the BrookIyns is a. question you could argue all night and not get anywhere.
 When they returned from the Hub McGraw called the Giants roll, and no one was missing. Snodgrass lost what little prestige he had left, and Larry Doyle will never be able to live down the crime of. calling the Mayor of Boston a nut
 Marty O'Too1e was back in fine form-his Pittsburgh form. If Marty keeps on letting teams aoruise out four teen hits per game, he will cost MT. McGraw as much. in regrets as he did Pittsburgh in dollars. The Dodgers srnacked Martin here and there and back again. In two innings they mobilized hits in clusters of five.
 Big Ed Pfeffer fooled the Giants right along during the game, but, not suIbtracting any credit from Big Ed, most any pitcher would have been able to fool the Giants yesterday.

In looking over the sporting coll umns of local and New York news papers during the past week I notic- ed a great deal of comment On thA part of sporting scribes as to the reason why Ray Keating cannot last nine innings They said that Keat- ing pitches grand ball until the fatal eighth, when he, uncerern ousIy blows up determined to investi- hopped on a train and beat it for Go- tham.
 In the afternoon I set out for the Polo Grounds to witness the double header between the Yankees and the Red Sox-
 Keating was very pforninent with his red flannel undershirt and during practice we were inclined to believe that he would twirl the first game. We were sadly disappointed when the ump announced that the batteries for New York would be McHaIe and Nunamaker.

ATTENDANCE RECORDS BROKEN BY GIANTS
 AND BOSTON TEAMS

Two attendance records have gone by the board in the making of which the Giants have participated. The three games played at Fenway park by McGraw.s men drew a total of 93,- GOO paid admissions, the largest num- Der ever recorded by turnsti1es at a baseball park. The Giants also played to 52,OoO paid admissions at E1b- bets Field on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week, making a total of 145, 900 for six con sectuive days.
 This remarkable patronage nettad abotu $36,0O for the New York Ma tional League club, $50, 900 for the Brooklyn club and $40, GOO for the Bos- ton club, enough to pay half the sal aries of each organization In view of. the closenes of the race it is pre- dicted that the owners of the Giants and Braves will make enormous profits before the campaign closes

 Taking the position of catcher, the league was well equipped. O,Connel1, Butler, Sentzack, Lavery and White OConnen is chosen for the first team and Butler for the second. OConne1l is given the preference over Butler although not as strong a batter as the latter but due to his generalship and ability to pull for the team at all times.
 Champion is first pitcher with Curry second Townsend. Stegner and John son showed good form but Curry and Champion were the most dependable ii 3, pinch
 First base honors goes to Joe Clark who leads his nearest rival, Wilson by quite a. distance Sawyer lacked the oldtime form and made his poor est showing since Joining the league.
 Si1zer for second base is the one best bet with Carter a close second. Both are classy fe1ders and good stickers.
 | Horkheiner at short is picked over Johnson although not as strong with i the stick as the latter, but his fielding more than made good his deficiency i in that respect
 Toots S1attery. although not finish ing the season in the league is picked for third with Hank O'Day for the second team. Good third basemen were an exception in the league. Noonan, Casperack and F.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1909 -Paekey McFarland and Ray Bronson fought 2o-round draw at New Orleans. Although he had been knocked otu by Freddie Welsh earlier that year, Bronson put up a great bat tie against the stockyards idol, and came near whipping him. Mcfarland had admitted that Ray was the tough est proposition he ever faced in that battle. Bronson started the season by putting over a. pivot blow to Pack eys jaw, and Mcfarland toppled over as if he had been swatted by a mule. It was only with a mighty effort of his will that he got to his feet before the fatal count, and for ten ronuds he fought like a. Sleep walker. Ray could have gone in and finished him, but he had too wholesome a respect for Packey's prowress, and feared that the Chicagoan was only bluffing. Tow ards the latter part of the bout Pack ey recovered, and landed enough punches in the last three rounds to win a draw That was McFarland's s closest squeak. . 1822-Josh Hudson knocked out Barlow in six minutes at Harpehden Common, England.
