In view of Bridgeporcs recent slump, Lee Fohrs players expected to have c1nch but they received a. hard jolt. The Bolts displayed their old brand of baseball. They punched hits and fielded like chanpEons.
 Sam Mclean, who bothered Bridge port in one game at Newrfeld this sea- son, was no puzzle to the Bolts. They laced him for ten safeties. including a triple and three doubles
 Tuckey had a triple and two singles, Butch Kerns contributed a. two bagger and single and Dan Tieruney made the same combination.
 It was a great day for Dick Tucley. Some of his fellow townsmen from Un- ion City were on hand to sec him and he put a lot on the ball. The result was that Waterbury got only three hits. He gave only one pass and fam ned two.
 In the first two innings Mclean blanked Bridgeport but in the third the Bolts fell upon him for two runs Waterbury could not. score until the ninth when the Fohol cohorts made their lone taliey. Bowman Bou1tes. and Ems, fe1ded brilliantly for Bridgeport The score:

Sir Thomas Lipton's fourth attempt to lift the America Cup has resulted in a revival of interest in that inter national yachting classic, which had it's inception in 1851 when the America captured the trophy and brought 1t across the sea- The Shamrock w. will have to be a lot faster than her predecessors to wrest the prize from the United States, but the game Sir Thomas believes that she is. and that the yacht with the for-beaf sham rock and her emblem of good luck will return to old Ireland with the cup in her locker. But then, the great tea. merchant was ever an optimist. We shah see what we shall sees
 Sir Thonas,s Shamrock I, was launched just fifteen years ago today. June 24, 1899. Just two days later the American defender, the Column oia, was given her first trial. The first Shamrock was designed by William Fife, Jr., and it is understood that J. P Morgan furnished the money to build the defender. which was con structed at Bristol, R. I. The Ameri- can boat had a walk over. In 1900 Sir Thomas challenged again and the year sent over the Sham rock IT., and the Columbia, having defeated the Constitution in the of11- cial trials, was again chosen to de- fend the trophy The second Sham

rock proved to be a better craft than the first, but she was mot good enough and the Columbia won all three con- tests, although the last was won by the Shamrock and Dost only by the time allowance.

BLACKLIST FOR HAL CHASE, SAY
 THE M0CULS

Whether the courts restrain Hal Chase from jumping his contract with the White Sox or not he will be Nin- definitely suspended. by the National Commission. In other words, he will be "blacklisted,'' which means that he will never be permitted to play un- der the protection of Organized Base ball again If the Feds blow up or some of them are taken into the fold Chase will not be allowed to come
 back The commission intends to
 make an example of him, for the req son that he jumped his contract with the Yankees to join the Pacific coast outlaws in 1908. As Chase is guilty of a. second offence it Is understood that Gov. Tener, Ban Johnson and August Hermann will not t-vote to re- instate him again.
 It is worthy of note that when PresS- dent Gilmore of the Feds started to build up his league last winter he de- clared with emphasis that under no circumstances would the White Sox be subjected to raids. Chase. however, evidently had his own way. His de- sertton of Comiskey will not help the Feds' cause in Chicago. The baseball public knows Chase like a book by this time.

MATTY TELLS
 BOYS NOT TO
 THROW CURVES

Christy Mathewson, the star pitcher of the Giants, proved himself a poor umpire yesterday. Upon the invitation of Charles D. HflIes president of the New York Juvenile Asylum, "Matty'' visited the chi1dren's village in Echo Hills, back of Dobbs Ferry. Here he was welcomed by $50 boys, who crowd ed around and received him with flat tering favor.
 A ball game was in progress and
 Natty'' was invited to umpire. He took his place behind the pitcher and made several close decisions which did not meet with approval. After the game the big pitcher talked to the boys about pitching and among oth- CT things said:
 league pitchers how to throw the fade away said. 'hatty,'' land not one of them has succeeded. The difficulty is that too much attention is required The fade-away Is a difficult ball to control
 Now let me give you little advice about pitching. Don't be too anxious to throw curve ball. Some of the best curve pitchers I have ever known were never able to make the big leagues The reason was that they could never attain control. I might lecture to you boys about control be- ing the big thing in life but just now we are talking about pitching. Most young pitchers attempt a round arm delivery, because it permits them to put more on the ball. I would advise you to keep to straight overland delivery. Watch the plate and make sure that the ball goes. over it.''

BROOKLYN HANDICAP WON

History of racing enriched itself with another episode long to be sre- membered and argued about when yesterday thousands keyed by ex- citement to the edge of nervous breakdown, saw the twenty-sfxth re- viva1 of the Brooklyn Handicap, a racing classic in this country, won by a rank outsider in thrilling fin ish over the old Aqueduct track of the Queens County Jockey Club.
 Every yard of the mile and a. quar- ter route brought spectaculaF shifts and surprises, and the culmination was one to fill every crannye of a sporting Fheart with enthusiasm
 Three horses ran neck and neck through the last eighth of a mile, leaving a scattering field four lengths behind. In the last twenty yards Ruckhorn-a to 1 shot-drew half an inch, then half a nose, then a nose, in front of Buskin, the favorite- So they were at the finish, with Rock View, August Belnont's entry, half length behind -Buskin-

PRINCETON
 DEFEATS YALE
 IN FINAL GAME

Prircetoh's baseball team defeated Yale at the Polo Grounds. New York, yesterday afternoon in the deciding game of the series by a score of Co 0. and Princeton is now perfectly sat- isded.
 Yale was beaten fairly and square ly in close, well played game, and the Yale team disappeared from the tumuIt of Princeton's triumph, sorely disappointed because they had victory ever so near their grasp and could not reach it.
 It was a game of tight pitching and meagre hitting, which most of the old fashioned graduates did not like.
 The twirling was so good and the hitting so weak that the combination made the game monotonous for. the old dignihed boys who like a lot of hre- works in their ball game.
 Bill Deyo, the Princeton pitcher, had the E1is swinging like windlasses in a high wind The only Yale lad who hit the ball at all was "Home RunT Hanes, who last. Saturday beat liar yard by sIamning out a homer with the bases full. Hanes yesterday got three hits, one a. two-baggerS but the support given to Deyo by the Tigers was so brilliant that the Ellis appear ed powerless before the JungIetown troupe.
