BRIDGEPORT BATS HARD AND DEFEATS LYNN IN HOT GAME
Especial to The Farmer.)

Lynn, Aug. 4-Waite Hoyt, the IT, year-old youngster who belongs to the Giants, was turned loose on Bridgeport yesterday and the Hustlers received him with welcoming clubs They belted the youngster for 13 hits and gave Lynn beating by to 5. Turner started for Bridgeport but was relieved by Mulrennan in the fifth when Lynn began to get boisterous Mulrennan was wild when he first took charge and two runs, resulted before he clamed down. After that he held Pieper's men in check.
 The Hustlers advanced on Hoyt in the first inning when Pat Duggan broke through with a two-bagger and scored on Deininger's two spot. In the second they pounded Hoyt for three more and then chalked up two in the third. Blake displayed a burst of speed in the sixth. He singled, stole second, went to third on an out and then pilfered home.
 Blake, Warner, Deininger, Briggs and Horkheimer all larruped the ball hard Horkheimer's fielding was su- perb, his double play in the fifth stop ping a Lynn uprising. Duggan wrenched his leg in the second and went to the bench. Baker was the only Bridgeporter who didn't get a hit The score: -

REDS TAKE DOOLAN
 FROM GIANTS TO HELP
 THE CINCINNATI INFIELD

New York, Aug. At was learned yesterday that the Giants had sent Mike Doolan to the Cincinnati club over the waiver route. Doolan joined the Giants after leaving the Cubs, Mc- Graw purchasing the former Philly star in order to fill up the gap at shortstop, following an injury to Ar thur Fletcher. Now that Fletcher again is in form and with Hans To- bert ready to play at any time. Doolan had little chance to do service as a member of the New York team.
 As Matty was in the field for the services of tried infielder, he refus- ed to waive ons Doolan. The Red manager has not yet signed Doolan to Cincinnati contract, but there seems little likelihood any hitch will arise over the transfer.

GEORGE CHANEY GAINS
 DECISION OVER PACKEY
 HOMMEY IN FAST BOUT

New York, Aug. 4.-George Chan ey, the K. o. King, did not take the insignia of pugilistic royalty to the Empire Athletic Club last night. At any rate, Packey Hommey was far from being knocked out at the close of the tenth round. Not only was Hommey not. knocked out but he fought yiciously from the first gong to the last, and while outpointed, he was in the fight all the way.
 It is true that Chaney hit Hommey on the jaw, often enough and hard enough to stop almost any ordinary man, but the East Slider hasn't an ordinary jaw.N In addition to stand ing up under a heavy bombardment, Hommey inflicted considerable dam age. He brought the blood to Cha ney's nose and landed a number of jarring rights to Chaney's jaw.
 Chaney is a swift, savage puncher, who hits well from any angle, and would be dangerous to any opponent. His work last night was disappointc ing. Chaney's weight was 127 and Hommey's 131.

ED CR0NAN HAS
 CLOSE CALL WHEN
 PURSUED BY BULL
Especial to The Farmer.) (By "Old Man Grump," Staff Cores

Majorsville, Conn.,, Aug. 4-Things began to get dull about the Tiger camp yesterday afternoon after three days of sensational episodes and the Farm CT correspondent motored up to the training camp of the Majorville nine, at the upper end of Lake Pembroke and on the opposite side of the stream from the Tiger camp. He was greet ed upon his arrival by Lieut.. Charley Wheeler, Capt. Charles Suckley and trio of officers are spending the week with the Headquarters nine at their training camp.
 Capt. 'Suckley was kept busy dur ing the evening formulating plans for the State. Police Field Day Meet at Pleasure Beach, Saturday, August 26. He has written letters to every chief of police in this state, even to the re- mote village or hamlet of Winsted. Cap" looks forward to grand suc- cess of the undertaking.
 Detettive-Lieutenant Ed Cronan took dip in the cooling waters of Lake Pembroke and narrowly escaped los ing his life as he was about to leave the water. No, it was not a shark!!! AS Ed was swimming for shore . strange object was seen swimming to- wards the jolly lieutenant. It looked like a bear But it wasn't a bean! Then it looked like a wolf! But it wasn't wolf! The campers yelled to Cronan to swim for his life and Cro- nan did. They yelled for Cronan to duck and swim under water. And Cronan did. He was under water for fully Is minutes and the campers be- came alarmed. They feared he had gone under for keeps. They yelled for him to come to the surface, while some others jumped into a canoe to perform the rescue act. Again they yelled for Ed to come to the surface. And Cronan did. He was dragged to safety and right behind him came Gus Leize's big bull, who had gone out for his daily swim. It was later learned that the bull is a pet and entirely harmless.

YANKEES RECALL
 PITCHER SH0CKER AND CUBAN ARAG0N

Detroit, Mich., Aug. 4-The best thing the Yankees are doing these hot days is to play a close game with their opponents. They played one with the Tigers yesterday, and as was the case with their six immediately preceding contests, it was a losing game. The Tigers won by 2 to 1, but until their second run had spread itself all over the home plate they were not one bit a superior team to the Yankees.
 There was a man on third for De- troit in the ninth, with one out. Rus sell, who had a speedy, baffling saliva ball and showed fine pitching by sus- taining the Yankees in their warfare, had just struck out man, with the Tiger on third, and Young, a weak batter, was at the plate.
 Young cut a grounder to Gedeon. It came to Gedeon with a true hop, and Joe clutched 1t eagerly. veach it was he who was on thfrd-was plunging to the plate. Gedeon's throw beat him a yard, and was caught cleanly by Walters Walters had Veach blocked off and put the ball on him, but Walters is a small man and Veach big one. Veach slid Tn with all the Welgnt ana momentum he had. The impact jared the ball from Walters grip, and O'Loughlin who had called Veach out, had to call him safe.
 Russell was fine yesterday, but his mates didn't do anything to the op- posing pitcher. Even if they did lit- tie to Coveleskie, it was as much as Detroit did to Russell They out fielded the Detroits. but thes lip in the ninth was fatal.
 The management of the Yankees is not letting slide any chances tc strengthen the team and offset the damage caused by the number ot | cripples on the club roster. Donovan hopes he soon will have the Yankee ship clear of the rocks. For one thing he had word from Nick Cullor that the crack southpaw is ready tc | take the field again and will report on Saturday. Cullop tore a muscle ir his side several weeks ago.
 Furthermore, Donovan has recalled Urban Shocker the pitcher who has i been the sensation of the International League, and Angel Aragon, the On. ban infielder. Shocker was turned over to Toronto last Spring and Ara. gon to Richmond. Tn chatter ha, been doing capital work. He an6 i Shocker will report in a few days kArtie Holman is due from Chicae aee | today

RACE IN AMERICAN LEAGUE CLOSEST
 IN RECENT YEARS

New York, Aug. 1.-The present race in the American league is con- ceded by all veteran baseball fans to be the closest staged in many years on major circuits. In fact the claim is made that there is nothing in big league history to equal it and a search of the records of recent seasons bears out this contention. On August 1, seven of the eight clubs composing the junior association had percentage of .500 or better. St. Louis held sev- enth place with a f1fty-fifty standing, while the Athletics in last place, were 293 points behind the Browns.
 Boston in first place. was but three points ahead of Chicago and the New York Yankees, which led the league for some weeks, were in third place, 33 points behind the leaders and four points ahead of Cleveland in fourth position. Between Boston in first place and St. Louis in seventh there were just 79 points difference in per centage or 1-2 games. With some- thing like 10 weeks of play remaining any one of these seven clubs must be conceded a chance for the 1916 pennant and the situation is unique in the history of the big league pen nant races.
 During the last five years the lead ing club on the first of August with its lead in points over the second place holder was as follows: 1991, Detroit 25 points; 1912, Boston 62 points; 1913, Philadelphia 75 points; 1914, Philadelphia 72 points; 1915, Boston, B points. With the excep- ton of 1911 the club leading on Aug ust 1st finally won the pennant and participated in the Worlds Series.
 In 1911 Philadelphia wrested the lead from Detroit late in the season and held first place to the end of the campaign.

.EvERS AFTER HE HAS QUARREL SAYS
 HE'LL QUIT BRAVES

Boston, Aug. 4-After quarrel in which Capt. Evers and Red" Smith of the Boston Braves figured here yesterday, Evers announced that he was "disgusted" with the way things were going and that if he could ob- tain an unconditional release he was about ready to quit the Braves" "If I say anything I get in bad and if don't say anything I get in bad" said Evers, "so what is there to do?"
 The Braves captain was. ordered off the field by Byron in the third in- ming of the second game with Cincin- nati for alleged wranging with Smith in the Boston dug-out. At the club house after the game, it is said that the quarrel between Smith and Evers was resumed until they were sep arated by other players. The cause of the trouble was not announced.

KUMAGAE MUST IMPROVE BEFORE
 HE'S TENNIS STAR

New York, Aug. 4-Ichiya Kuma- ,gae, the Japanese tennis player, who th :ew a big scare into the tennis play iers of this country by carrying off his first two tournaments here with ease, and then disappointed followers of the game in the metropolitan district by a poor showing at the Crescent Athletic courts Tuesday, showed great inn iprovement Wednesday.
 Kumagae is a wonderful little player and has marvellous possibilities, but he has not reached that degree of per ifection which one must show to win a national title in America, Australia, EEng gland, France or Germany. The jfact that the little Jap can play the game as well as he does right now speaks plainly enough itself of what the future on tennis courts may have in storage for him. One cannot praise him too much for the heights he has reached, when it is borne in mind that he has been playing the game only a couple of years, and that he has had neither good instruction nor worthy opposition.
 When Kumagae started to play ten nis few years ago there were few in i, Japan interested in tennis and fewer still who played it. The ball which the Japs used was much lighter than Hho tennis ball which we know and lacked the cover. Of course there was Bome sort of advantage in playing with the light ball, for it made speed absolutely necessary, and speed is one of the main attributes of high class tennis. No one who has followed ten nfs to any extent can think of a player who has won high honors on Fhe courts merely by playing orthodox . strokes. The speed has always been there, greater in some than in others, but always prime factor. |. \, Then, too, it was on clay that Ku- magae and his friend and partner, Haclkishiro Mikami, learned to play tennis They had no opportunity to play on grass until they came to this country, and it is a marvel that they have done so we'll Critics in belit- tling the game of the Japanese play CTS seem to have overlooked this fact. When. one looks back few years and calls up the vision of Mclaughlin, the great California Comet. in his first trial on grass courts, the work of the Caps cannot but be commended. Nc Loughlfh could not realize that there NoulU pe Sucn dlHerence Tn the game played on clay and on grass.
 It took Mclaughlin a couple of years = learn the pecu1iarities of the turf court, but when he learned them he kne--- them thoroughly, as tennis players who have met him in this country and abroad will readily at- test. Therefore there. seems to be no logical reason why Kumagae or some other Japanese player cannot do the same thing.

(By Wagner.)

Because of Horkheimer's whirlwind playing during his brief engagement with the Bridgeport club, it is said the St. Louis Browns are negotiating for the young shortstop. Horkheimer played remarkable ball during the trip down east, which closed yester- day. His fielding in the Lowell series was so sensational that the attention of was attracted.
 Kelchner said he had inspected most of the minor league crop this season but had seen no shortstop who looked as promising as Horkheimer. youngster for St. Louis, but didn't specify whether the deal would be by purchase or draft.
 The recent good showing of the Bridgeport club has attracted renew ed interest in the local team and if is expected that a large crowd will turn out tomorrow for Boosters day at Newfield park. Large number of tickets has been sold in the different factories and stores and it is predicted that the attendance will be large. Marty Walsh will pitch for Bridgeport and there is a possibility that Dick Tuckey will twirl for the Portland league leaders. although it is Durn- ing's turn to work. Bridgeport has won five out of the last six games. The Brooklyn club has purchased !! Shortstop Kelleher from Denver of the Western league. He has been batting .339 and fielding in fine style. Kelleher will not join the club until the Western league finishes its season. Horkheimer came back into the

New York, Aug. 4.-Open matches in the second annual east vs. west tennis tournament were played at the courts of the West Side tennis club, Forest Hills, L. l., this afternoon. The week of dry clear weather, following a long period of rain has produced gfass courts of the finest speed and a great play is expected.

BABE ADAMS IS
 CANNED BY PIRATES

Pittsburgh, Aug. 4- Charles cBabe") Adams, pitcher for the Pittsburgh National league baseball club, yesterday was given his uncon- ditional release. Waivers were ask ed on him several days ago, but none of the clubs in the major leagues signed him.
 Adams said he would go to his home in Mt. Moriah Mo-, for rest before making any plans.
 -Adams' most notable record in base ball was compiled in the worlds series of 1909. when he was but a youngster He won three of the four games for the Pirates over the Detroit Tigers. He won the first, fifth and seventh games His showing was a distinct surprise since he had not been prominently considered for the\big series

fold with two hits against the Lynn brand of pitching yesterday. The Bridgeport shortstop made quite hit with the writers on the other end of the circuit. Bob Paradis in the Lowell Courier-C Citizen, says: For Bridgeport, Horkheither was the in field star. Horky ran behind third and then behind second as an evi- dence of his earnestness. H" is one of the niftiest youngsters we've seen infielding this season."
 After an absence of two days from the hit column Joe Briggs, the vet eran Bridgeport outfielder, banged out two blows in Lynn yesterday.
 The Springfield club has struck the chutes lately, principally because the pitching has been bad. Bridgeport started Flynn's men on the slide last Sunday with that double beating.
 The Boston Braves have an idea they can beat the umpires although baseball history shows that it can't be done. The Braves have been picking on the officials all season and yesterday Manager Stallings was sus- pended for three days for bawling out Umpire Rigler after a recent game. The Braves have been using the um- pire alibi for all it's. worth but it's about time they got a new act.
 Tod Sloan. once a famous jockey, is at Saratoga trying to pick up a few dollars as a tout. They say Sloan is about 45 years old now. He once had a large bankroll and the beauti- full actress, Julia Sanderson, for a wife. When the bankroll vanished the wife went, too.
