Rector Intends To Force McAuliffe To
 Defend Conn. Title

Fred DeLorme, manager of young Rector, hurls the following challenge at Young McAu1iffe:
 After several unsuccessful efforts on my part to get your Connecticut cham pion, Young McAuliffe, to consent to another meeting with Yor1g Rector of Jersey City, I have at last deternin- force Mac to defend that title he seems to claim. The method in question is: Rector, who is really the one who suggested T same, is going to go to Stamford this month to live, and being a resident of Connecticut, will be in a position to make Mac defend that title he so lovingly clings to, and persists in defending by box ing easy 15 round battles in sConnec- ticut against Q lot of third raters.
 After the last Rector-McAuliffe bat tie, in which Rector gave Mae a. very nice trimming, McAuliffe tried to square himself with the fans, by de- n1anding a return hatch with Rector, who immediately accepted and I was willing to let Rector meet him. and box on percentage, something that Mac would not have done if he had been the winner.
 Rector has established himself be- fore the fans of Bridgeport, by put ting up a brand of boxing that was of the sensational, once as opponent of Johnnie Drunuz1ie, and again as an opponent of McAuliffe, and to prove am willing to post $1oO with any sport ing writer that Mac selects. same to go toward binding a match, and a side bet that Rector again duplicates his defeat of Mac.' ...

White Sox Reduce
 Lead of Cleveland

Chicago, June 26-The White SOx defeated Cleveland by a score of 4 to 8 yesterday. All of the Indians three runs were scored on errors. It was not until the eighth inning that the Sox tied the score, to win out in the eleventh. In the deciding frame Eddie Collins doubled and scored when Four. nier singled.
 The game was a bitter one, each team fighting every inch of the way Weaver and Howard almost came to blows when it looked as though the former had spiked Howard. They were separated by the players and the umpires.
 Scott was wild and gave way to Russell, who pitched a good game. The playing of the locals during the early innings was very cratic and en- abled the visitors to score all their runs.
 Joe Jackson had a great day, both in the field and at the bat. He made four hits, a two-bagger and three sin gles. He also had a sacrifice. In the field Joe made four put-outs- Grapey made half of the Indians six hits. He had a brace of doubles in his coIlec- ton.

LOCALS SIGN MURPHY.

Red Murphy, a catcher who was with New Haven early in the season, has been signed by Bridgeport and will report in Springfield tomorrow. Murphy was the best backstop New Haven had and the Elm City fans were surprised when he was let out. He was getting good salary, though, and the Elm City management releas- ed him to sign Smith, the backstop turned loose by Bridgeport. Murphy was in the Federal league last sea- son. He is a good hitter.
 Bud Weiser, the outf1elder sent to New London by the Phil1ies, is right after Hammon of Springfield for the lead in batting. He is going at a .357 clip and Hammonds mark is .363. Maloney of Worcester is third with .342.
 The Eastern pitching records show that Fortune of New London, leads with eight won and one lost. Hearne of New London, has won eight and lost two. Johnny Reiger has the best record of the Bridgeport hurlers. He has won four and lost six. Marty Walsh has won two and lost seven. MuYrennan has captured one and lost three, House has won one and lost one and Fro hasn't put over a victory yet.
 Dick O'Connor, the young catcher recently signed by Bridgeport, will be let out. He has had a lame arm since he joined the club and is unable to throw to second. He realized that he could not make good under present conditions

Short Sections
of Fan Fodder

High, the old Hartford outfelder, is batting well for the Yankees.
 Although Frank Baker is hitting only .237 in the latest American league averag ges, the Yankee slugger cheered the fans by his work against Wash ington last Saturday. He got two hits in each game, one of the raps being a home run.
 Jimmy Curry displayed a flash of his old form on Saturday when he stole three bases against Lowell. The Bridgeport outf1elder didn't do so much hitting last week but got on the bases frequently.
 l Rube Oldring, the veteran outhelder | of the Athletics will quit the game July 1. Connie Mack has replaced him with Lanning, a Wesleyan university pitcher, who appears to be quite a hit ter
 | The Cleveland Americans have pur- chased Pitcher FI11img gem, who has been making a great record in a southern minor league. He was given a trial by the Athletics last season but was too wild. This season he has | been beating all corners.
 That must have been a cruel islander about Tom Sharkey being such a | tightwad. He has just gone into bank ruptcy giving his assets as $20.50 and his liabilities $299, 900. Sharkey lost a large sum when he signed a lease for a New York hotel and then failed to get a liquor license.
 | Owner Collins of the New Haven club; who has lost a small fortune this season, is endeavoring to have a Boosters Day" in the Elm City next Saturday. On this occasion special ef- forts will be made to get the fans out to cheer for the home club and there will probably be a band concert at the park. On a similar occasion in Wor- cester last week 2,5O0 turned out.

PROHIBITIONISTS HAVE NOT
DECLARED FOR MILLER
The following statement regard
ing the Prohibition party's stand on
the candidates for states attorney
has been issued by the Prohibition
Central Committee of Cook County.
The statement is signed by Leo F.
Jeanmene, county chairman:
ga statement has been made in
the news column Of an afternoon pa
per that the PrOhibitiOnists did not
file a candidate for states attorney
for the reason that they would prob
ably largely support Harry B. Miller
for that office.
'"The Prohibition nomination for
states attorney was rendered to two
different gentlemen, who, because of
business and personal reasons, could
not devote the attention to the can
vass that they felt it should have.
It was then too late to secure an
other candidate before the filing Of
the petition. This is the reason why
there is no Prohibition candidate for
states attorney.
MANY Prohibitionists will not
vote for any candidate for states at
torney. A large percentage of the
party adherents do not vote for can
didates not on the Prohibition party
ticket even when there are Vacan-
cies. Those PrOhibitionists who will
vote for states attorney on other
tickets are no more likely to vote for
Mr.. Miller than they are for Mr.. Cum
nea or Mr.. Hoyne.

ganization will absolutely take no
mart in the states attorney FIGHT

vote for what they don't want on
election day and then kick for the
next four years because they get
what they voted for.
1t may be well at this time to call
attention to the fact that govern
ment or municipal ownership, while
as a rule better for the people than
private ownership, is not socialism
unless the working class owns the
government, municipal, state, ma
tional and International
Credit should also be given to Mr.
Cochran and The Day Book for their
fearless way of publishing the real
news and which is suppressed by the
kept press of Chicago.

going to vote for socialism and so

At South Water street and Michi-

the cab in which he was going to
work became frightened and start
ed to run away. 1t dragged the cab
into the stream of auto traffic, where
it was crushed to pieces between

assurance that both would soon be
working together for the triumph Of
Republican principles at the polls in
