,REM-ARMS BEAT
 '' ]; COLONIALS AGAIN

The Colonials were defeated by the Remington Arms Go. nine of Bridge- port on the Lighthouse grounds yes terday afternoon to o. From the time they stepped on the field to go through very ragged fielding prac- hce until Pete Wilson tossed out the last man in the ninth the Coloniais looked very. very bad, in fact they put up their poorest exhibition of the past two seasons. Only the sensational work ofw Pumpelly in the box. who made a decided hit with the crowd. held the Remfngtons to their two scores. the Dig fellow pulling out of holes which his teammates had dug for him continually. Two hits and no seores tell the story of the Colon ials' of1snstvs for the day.
 Pete Wilson had the CoIonials sanding on their respective heads most of tho afternoon. .s N The game itself dragged along with both pitchers pulling out of holes gar lore until the break came in the sew onth. Brandon doubled after. Wilson had fanned. Sherwood hit to Pete Fa1sey. who fumbled the ball long enough for the runner to reach first and Brandon third. Halstein famed. and 1t looked as though Pumpelly would pull out again but Waters threw wildly to center field in an eff fort to catch Sherwood stealing, and both runners -scored when the ball bounded over Bowen,s shoulder.

New York, Aug. 21.-Following the defeat of William M. Johnston, the na- tional title holder. by Kumagae in the final at Newport last Saturday, some of the Journalistic onlookers went on record with the statement that we were facing the danger of having Japanese. mount to the zenith of our tennis Armament at Forest Hills next month. 5,
 Kumagae will very likely get some where near the zenith, but he will never attain it this year. If the truth must be told, Kumagae himself does not expect to reach it. Nobody Is more surprised than Kumagae him. self by the success he has thus far achieved in this country. He appre- ciates that in tennis technique he has a tremendous lot to learn. When he does master the finer points there will be reason enough to fear his presence in our national tournament
 Kumagae defeated Johnston in i've sets at Newport, yet if they were to meet again tomorrow the champion would again be a strong favorite~

Phlladelphia, Aug. 21-The last great All-American football player turned out at the, University of Penn sylvania was Roy Mercer. now coach Of the Swarthmore College football team, but if the plans of Coach Bob Folwell are carried out, Penn is not going to be neglected when the inhab- itants of the football hall of fame are picked just about snow-time, for. ac- cording to Folwell, it rests with the record as to his chances for the fa- nous mythical eleven.

Charley Henning of Buffalo have been told by various coaches and players. was one of Americas best linemen last year. He has improved since then, and unless I miss my guess, Henning will prove as good guard as the game will produce. Then, there is Howard Berry. the penta- thlon champion. With his miraculous ability on the track as a sprinter, dis tance runner, broad Jumper. and jaw elin thrower. his admitted skill as baseball player and boxer. why it will be almost impossible for i'm to be kept of a team like that, if he lends himself to the will of the coaches.N
 Most of the men will turn up at the field a week before we go to Langhorne. Pa. The men who are in fairly good shape can begin to work with the rudiments of my sys- tenn. Those who are thick-winded and fat will need two weeks of drudg- cry before they can begin much mem tai cultivation.

This pass is made just as infielders whip the ball from bag to bag on the big league dia- monds. There Is always someone un- covered and eligible for the throw. It is play that Yale and Harvard could not stop. nor can any team, unless they have a defense I have devised against it should another team use it.

KuMACAE NOT LIKELY TO
 GET TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP
Experts Do Not Think Jap Can Come Through in
 National Tournament.

There is little likelihood that John tson would allow himself to be in- veigled into defeat as he was on Sat- urday. The word ''inveigled" is cho- sen advisedly Johnston tried to over whelm Kumagae with speed in the first. two sets.. and from every angle played right into the hands of the tireless Oriental tss
 Johnston played himself out in the first two sets, threw all caution and system to the winds--and found him self twice beaten. In the third set he realized the folly of his course and managed to take the third and fourth and even the score. When his chance for victory presented itself in the final set the strength Johnston wasted. in the first two sets was wanting and the hardier Japanese won.
 Johnston is not overstrong at his best, but just now he seemA to have hit the ehb of his endurance, just as he did in the Southampton tourna- ment last year when he was defeated by Theodore R. Pell in the semi-final round. Eftl -LH etst

ALEXANDER HAS BEEN GOING GREAl
 IN REGENT GAMES

New York, Aug. 21-If the Phil- lies of Pat Moran again win the Ma tional League championship. then Grover Cleveland Alexander will have to be rated as the greatest pitcher of all the present day crop.

Alex has won ten games, and lost only two. winning percentage of .S33. sed
 In the same time. the Phillies have annexed twenty-eight box scores and lost thirteen, mark of .63s. This shows that Alex has been credited with more than one-third of the vic- tories, while his defeats total less than one-sixth. tl4
 That's not the most wonderful part of his work. though.

AID WOLGAST TACKLES FRANKIE CALLAHAN IN
 NEW YORK THIS WEEK

New York, Aug. 21-Lightweights who were being groomed for attempts to wrest the championship title from Freddie Welsh will be, seen in action at the local clubs during the ensuing week. The most important of the contests scheduled is that in which the hard-hitting Ad Wolgast will try to show that he is still to be considered as serious contender for the title that he once held.
 Wolgast will make his comeback effort at Washington Park on Friday night against Frankie Callahan, a To- cal product who went West to gain game. That Callahan is a dangerous man is shown by his record. He stopped Ralph Grunan by breaking his jaw in the seventh round. knocked out Joe Rivers, and gained a decision over Johnny Dundee. Among his other vtc- tims are Gilbert Gallant, Joe Mandot, Benny Palmer, and Johnny Harvey.

THRILLING RALLY IN I4TH GIVES LOCAL
 TEAM TIE BATTLE.
(By Wagner.)

(By WdSner.)
 There is a strong odor of arnica and witch hazel around the Bridgeport club just now. Howie Baker hobbies about with Charley horse to keep him company, Jake Warner has a spike wound in the foot and Otto Deininger is not feeling any too spry. But the Toys are staying in the trenches just the same and yesterday at Newfield park they held New Ha- ven to a II inning tie. When the days work was done each team had three runs and the fans had an ap- petite.
 Considering the; patched up team Bridgeport did well to keep the ene- my in check. Pat Duggan held down second in good style and when Howie Baker was removed to make way for a pinch hitter. Blake went to third and Walsh to right. The contest was a duel between Shanty House and Weaver of New Haven with honors even.
 House stnrted as if wildness would lay him low. He passed three in the first two sessions, but steadied after that and had good control in the other innings. His one lapse was in the 18th when he gave Chouinard three straight balls. Then he had to groove couple and the Elm City slugger burned a triple to right, event. ually scoring. This put the score at 3 to 2 and the fans were preparing to depart dowhcast when Bridgeport staged fighting finish. Blake shot a single over second and Duggan sac rificed. Deininger made the second out on a grounder and things looked dark. Howie Baker sent a towering fly over Nutter's head and amid the plaudits of the throng Blake scored the tieing run. Baker hobbled to second but Moshier made the third out
 Weaver bothered Bridgeport con- siderably with his curve ball. He only gave seven hits. Baker and Moshier getting two each. Moshier famed the first three times up. House allowed six hits.
 It looked as if Bridgeport would win in nine innings when it put over run in the eighth and forged ahead by to 1. But in the ninth Bressler singled with one down and Moshier played iDevine's hit poorly, allowing Bressler to tie the score. Then the teams battled without result until the 18th. Neither could tally in the 14th and the contest was called. The score:

Short Sections of Fan Fodder

made by Joe Briggs at New1leid park yesterday afternoon. In the sixth Moose Miller rammed @ liner between center and right. It was sailing for a three bagger when Briggs ran across lots, stuck out his gloved hand and got the ball a short distance above the ground. Briggs was going so fast that he was in deep right field before he could stop. He received a big ovation from the fans.
 Capt. Deininger asked Manager Danny Murphy of New Haven to all low Baker a runner in the 18th but Murphy refused. He said he had been criticised for doing it in previous games. That was why Walsh was put in to run for Baker.
 Joe Briggs couldn't get a hit against Weaver of New Haven. Afr ter sending up a fly for the third time he was so disgusted that he kick ed over the water pail and gave Mike Flaherty a shower bath.
 Kumagae, the Japanese tennis won- der, says he has heard much about the Amerlcan sense or fa1r play put never realized what it was until he had competed against Americans. He declares Uncle Sam's boys are so fair they cheat themselves.
 The highbrow atmosphere of Bos- ton hasn't improved the Boston Braves to any extent. President Brit ton of the St. Louis Nationals claims some of the Braves used vile. lan- guage to him Saturday when he refus- ed to allow them to use certain gate.
 The Giants are, just the same no matter where the trains take them. They can lose in St. Louis as we'll as Chicago. McGraw must be pleasant company to have around just now.
