John ston in an exhibition contest which was arranged with a view to the seIec- ton of a doubles team to represent the United States in the challenge match for the Davis Cup-
 It was the first appearance of Mo Lough1in and Bundy in the metro politan district this' year, and g, big gallery witnessed a two-set match, in which the two youngsters from the Pacific Coast extended the national champions to the limit to win
 Mclaughlin, who has won the Cres- cent bowl twice and who is expected to carry off the trophy again this year, was never seen to better a,dvan- tage, but Bundy's court work fell far below championship standard. The latter made many faulty strokes and was at sea with his famous cross court shots, and it was only the lack of team work on the part of Murray and Johnston that prevented the lat ter from carrying off the honors of the day.

Detected in his well known special ty of helping the umpire cali balls and strikes, Walter Ahearn~ the corn fed New London catcher, was quite vexed with Umpire Knobby Knowlton yesterday. He sassed the umpire and the latter person said:s Il just take five bills off your roll for that"

 This happened in the fourth inning and after that the club batt1ed to a. 16 inning tie with the figures 1 to L.

 There was little to choose between the pitching of Tuckey and Greenwell. The Bridgeport hurler depended on his slow curves which had the Plant CTS popping up most of the aftern ocn. GreenWeu had cross fire. ball that bothered Bridgeport and the locals got only five hits to seven for New Lon don. The Bolts were ,cIouting harder in the closing sessiones though
 Eddie Lavery of the Singer Go. team caught for Bridgeport and did very well. He nailed the speedy Marhefka once trying to steal. Lavery is help ing out Manager BouItes while Kerns and Crook are injured.
 The fielding of Manager Boultes was the most thrilling seen at NewfieTd park this season He had ten assists many of them difficult, and five put outs. It was his timely smash in the ninth that tied the score and saved Bridgeport from defeat.
 With New London leading by to o in the ninth the fans prepared to leave. They stopped when Senno was safe on Rocks low throw to first.

Stories were circulated in New York yesterday that the Federal league was about to give up the ghost. Of course the outlaws promptly denied this. Walter Ward of the Brooklyn Feds declared the story was started by a discharged emp1oye. Ee claims tEat since that the Brooklyn 6ets.s lave started to climb In the race, attend a.nce in Brooklyn has increased great ly. That may be so but it is known that the crowds in the western cities, except Chicago, have been poor. With the big salaries the Feds are paying they must have already dropped an enormous amount. It is not probable however, that they will quit at this time. They will be likely to finish the season and then try to make terms with organized ball during the winter
 The victory of Brookes and wilding of the Australasian tennis team over Kreuzer and Froitzheim of the Ger man team was no surprise to the critics. Brookes and wi1ding have played with such ease and confidence that it has been difficult for the on lockers to realize how expert the visit ing raquet wielders are.
