ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1898-Solly Smith and Tommy White fought 25-round draw at Coney Island. This battle was for the feath- erweight championship of the world, as Smith had won that title the pre- vious year by whipping George Dixon in San Francisco. Solly, who was a Los Angeles boy. wasn't particularly brilliant champion. as during his brief reign he was held to draws by both Tommy White and Eddie Santry, both of whom were Chicago lads. About two months after the White bout, Smith took on Dave Sullivan. at Coney Island and lost his title in the 9th round, when he broke his arm and was unable to proceed. Within a year after losing his honors Smith was de- feated by Oscar Gardner and knocked out by Joe Bernstein. Tommy White was a veteran when he fought Smith, and he had previously fought draws with several champs and near champs, including a 32-round affair with Australian Billy Murphy and shorter battles with Ike Weir, Young Griffo and George Dixon. After failing to take the title from any of these boys, Tommy tackled Terry McGov- ern three times, but was given such lacings that he quit the ring.

BRIDGEPORT OUT. OF LAST POSITION;
 DEFEATS LOWELL
Special to The Farmer.)

Lowell, Aug. Although he pitched in Lynn last Saturday, Mulrennan jumped into the box for Bridgeport again yesterday and led Healys crowd to 4 to 3 victory over Lowell. It was a hard fought contest and the outcome enabled Bridgeport to hurdle over Hartford and Lowell, thereby climbing into eighth place.
 Mulrennan thought he needed moro work to overcome his wildness. He did improve in that respect for al- though he issued five passes, that was less than he gave in Lynn. He al- lowed only seven hits. Opposed to Mulrennan was Mat Zieser, a veteran who has bothered Bridgeport this sea- son. The Hustlers climbed aboard Mat for Il hits, Briggs. Warner and Horkheimer leading the procession with two each.
 The Lowell crowd got good start by challzing up two in the third but Bridgeport collected one in the fourth and by scoring one in the sixth, sey- enth and eighth, managed to get a lead of to 2. Although Lowell ral- lied in the ninth Mulrennan steadied after the home club tallied once. The | figures.

WHITE SOX HAVE STAR RECRUITS OF
 THE COAST LEAGUE

New York, Aug. 1-Owner Comis- key of the White Sox, it is said, has bagged two star players in the Pacific Coast League. He has purchased the release of Second Baseman Risberg from the Vernon club and probably will secure First Baseman Guisto of the Portland club. Risberg is report ed to be a high class infielder and a batter of sterling quality.
 No other major league club had a chance to get him, as Comiskey holds a three years option on the Vernon clubs players in return for the re- lease of Pitcher Doc White. Guisto has been playing in the coast league less than two years.
 He is said to be the best first base man outside of the big circuits. As a batsman he ranks at the top. Comis- key will put up more than $20.000 to land these young stars.

JOHNSTON BEATS WASHBURN TO GET
 slN TENNIS FINALS

Bostoa, Aug. 1.-Wi1liam M. John ston of San Franci3co and Joseph J. |Ar1nutrong of Philadelphia were fa- Ivored bv the best weather of the tour nament for their final match for the lLongwood Lawn Tennis cup at the 'Iongwood Cricket club today. JOhn- ston, who is the national champion, Fhaa played strongly throughout a se- xies in which many experts have suc- cumbed, and Armstrong has figured as the winner in some of these upsets. 4 JoHmston's bracket was gained by Evanquishing Watson M. Washburn at H4.& +. 17, t. It was the first real test that the title holder has had fin the tournament, and at one time he was actually threatened with disaster. for Whsl1azurn displayed a wonderfully strong rgames in1 the fourth set, and was fleading at 4-2 when Johnston caught his stride and ran 1t out. It is one of the axioms of tennis
 fthat when Washburn is at his best
 kthe leaders may look to their 1aurels.
 tBut the New Yorker was not at his
 best yesterday afternoon. He did

LOUISVILLE HOLDS UP & DEAL FOR MIDDLETON.
 GIANTS NEW PITCHER

Louisville, Aug. 1.-The deal invol- wing the transfer of Pitcher Jimmy Middleton of the local American As sociation team to the Giants is being held up here, according to an an- nouncement, by Owner Wathen of the Colonels. Wathen feels that the loss of Middleton at thsi time would great ly weaken the local club. McGraw has clinched the deal for Middleton, but Wathen informed the Giant man. ager he would like to hold on to the pitcher until September 1.
 McGraw has sent six players here since the start of the season, intend ing to secure the release of Middle: ton in return, and he is considerably peeved at Wathen's action. The play CTS turned over to the Colonels by Mc- Graw include Palmero, Schauer, Stroud, Wendell. Ritter and Killifer. Ritter reported here yesterday, com ing from Rochester He was not in condition and will be sent back. Killi- fer and Stroud joined the CoIonels yesterday.

ST, LOUIS BREAKS
 RECORD AT POOR
 YANKEES' EXPENSE

St. Louis. Aug. 1.-Two things hap |pened at the ball game yesterday
 which have not happened before this lyear. The Yankees ran headlong into their fifth consecutive defeat; the Browns made their list of successive
 victories eleven. The Yankees have
 not met with more than four defeats lin succession hitherto. They lost by 4 to 2, and with Shaw key doing their pitching. Shawkey, Of late, has been doing his best work, but he was not as effective as usual, and the Browns cleverly punched hits on him in two different innings. The salient failing in the Tanks playing was the same one which has been costing them other games lately llame and sparse batting. The attacks ! have fallen off greatly, more than wa expected The following figures tell story: A hxrand total of six runs has been SCOT | cd in forty-five consecutive innings kaeainst the St. Louis pitchers, which lis fragile work indeed The Browns khave excelled the Yankees in the ser lies, not only with more pointed batting and cleaner fielding, but in scrappi- SneaD team play, and ginger, as they Shaye had the faculty of cooperating sso as to do the right thing at the Erisht time. Yesterday the batting Of tho @Browns was incisive and opportune; that of the Tanks lacked to a, fatal extent ability to embrace opportun1- i ties.
 s,sler and Pratt, an able but dan gerous pair when operating against {New York, led the attack which ac- tcounted for the St. Louis ta1lies aided kby Marsans and Severeid. The four stoeether did the trick. The Yankees, hfor their part, opened on Earl Hamil- 5ton with promise. They bumped him kfor two hits and run in the first inn e1nr. then drew into their shells and did nothing until the ninth.

GIANTS REEL OFF
 SIXTH STRAIGHT IN
 DASH TOWARD TOP

New York, Aug. 1-The pent-up fury, which has lain dormant in the Giants since their memorable Western sprint back in May, is now bursting forth with exaggerated violence. Not content with mauling Jimmy Calla- hans pugnacious Pirates in both ends of double-header on Saturday, Me- Graw's forces repeated the stunt at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon. This time the mauling was even more vicious and determined. The Giants now have record of six straight vic- tories.
 The two ends of the second double clash were grabbed from the hapless Pittsburghers by the same score.' In each game the Giants hammered seven runs from the deliveries of the visitors, while neither Harry Sallee nor Jeff Tesreau would permit the aliens a single run.
 The Giants yesterday looked like the Giants of old. It was a genuine Giant landslide. The first game was packed away as result of behe- moth swat by Davy Robertson in the very first round with a man on base. And the second really went into the records when Bill Rariden strudged home in George Burns sacrifice fly in the third inning. But the Giants were really only beginning then.
 Furthermore, the boys were taking a fearful toll out of the pitching of the Pirate slabsters. Frank Bullet" Miller escaped with a losssof five hits and two runs in the four innings he worked in the first game. But Babe Adams was jolted for seven hits and five runs in the remaining four. Elmer Jacobs was tapped for a total of 10 hits in the second game, six of them coming in one round.

STROMBOLl WINS BIG HANDICAP ON
 SARATOGA TRACK

Saratoga, N. r., Aug. 1.-It is many years since the Saratoga Racing As- sociation has had an opening like the one of this afternoon, which ushered in the 1916 racing season at the Spa. With the magic words They're off" 15,000 persons stood up at the start of the first race and shouted a rous- ing welcome to the thoroughbreds, while the band added to the general rejoicing by rendering as it's initial effort America"
 The two attractions of a highly in- teresting opening card were the Sara toga Handicap and the United States Hotel Stakes of $7,5o0. The fact that both these events were won by thor oughbreds bearing the silks of August Belmont, Chairman of the Jockey Club, was in itself noteworthy fea- ture, and at the same time a matter of ncere congratulation to the off, cial head of the sport in this country. l The winner of the handicap was Stromboli, while Deer Trap took the stakes, which is an event for two- year-olds, and the first one of the season in which the youngsters are asked to go six furlongs.
 | Stromboli's victory was a most inn pressive one. The Fair Play gelding | ran in his best form and defeated such sensational thoroughbreds as Short Grass. the holder of the American mile record over a track with one turn, and Harry Payne Whftney's Re- gret, the F>uturity winner of 1914, who has never been defeated until today. Then there was the great Western
 horse, Ed Crump, who ran second; the
 Finn, Captain E. B. Cassatt's Trial by Jury, and others The Whitney entry was the first choice and went to the post at g to 10. The winner and
 his stable mate, Friar Rock, were coupled in the wagering at IS to 5 and l even money a place. Friar Rock, win
 ner of the Brooklyn and Metropolitan
 handicaps, was third.

two centuries ago. as it was on Aug. 1, 1716. that the first boat race in Eng land was held on the Thames. Thomas Doggett. a celebrated comedian of thGt period. was the ofather of rowing. i'm stituting the race to commemorate the accession on Aug. l, 1714, of George l., the first king. of the present Eng fish dynasty. Six young watermen, who were not to have exceeded their apprenticeship by more than year, were the competitors, and the prize was red coat with a silver badge on the arm, bearing the white horse of Hanover

heimer. The young shortstop deliv- cred two more yesterday, making six hits in the last five games.
 On account of the recent winning sreak of the Bridgeport club the fans are displaying great interest in Boost ers' day, which will be held next Sat urday at Newf1eld with Portland as the attraction. Tickets are selling rapidly in the different factor'es and a big crowd will probably turn out to see the league leaders.
 Those old time ball players die hard. Bobby Wallace, who was batting them with the St. Louis Browns. He will play third. Wallace probably got jealous when he heard about Hans Wagner at the age of Az batting over 300.
 Hartford has the worst ball club in it's history. Things have been going from bad to worse since Burkett took charge and now the Senators are in last place.
 Matty Is beginning to appreciate what the jokers meant by their tibes when he took the Cincinnati manage ment. The Reds have won only two games on their eastern trip.
 
 Two weeks have passed since Capt. Black of the Yale football eleven made any foolish remarks in the press. They must have sneakedf up behind him with a gag.
 The New Haven Journal Courier Fsays Pete Wilson, the Rem-Arms vet eran, Is far from being through as a pitcher. The Courier declares Wilson looked better against the Colonfals last Sunday than at any time this season.

WELSH MORE POPULAR
 SINCE HE CLEANED UP LEONARD LAST WEEK

New York. Aug. 1-Now that Welsh rshas shown that he can put up bout worth while Ae will be a great deal more popular in the future. An- other match with Leonard should make a great card. It is also about time that Johnny Dundee received a chance. Dundee is the only promin- ent contender Welsh had ignored since Fhetwoh the title.
 Dundee and Welsh had one ten round encounter at New Orleans, but kthat was some time before Welsh de- efeated Ritchie for the title. Accord ling to the reports of the bout Dun- dee had the better of the early krounds. but Welsh finished so strong Fly he managed to nose him out.
 Joe Yelling, who is scheduled to btackle Dundee at the Garden next week, Is another who hopes to induce Welsh to give him a chance. Yelling looks as though he might be a dan- gerous opponent for the champion. He | as a clean cut, snappy hitter and has
 a big advantage in height and reach over the ordinary lightweight. Yelling, however, must first prove
 his class against Dundee before he ,can expect to be admitted to the lcharmed circle of the top notchers In Dundee he will be tackling the lsmallest of the leading 1ightweights Iso that the newcomer will have to win
 by fair margin if he expects to pro- lceed any further.
 If Yelling does succeed in taking
 the measure of Dundee he will camp lona Leonardo trail. and when they
 have met it will be time for Welsh to
 show here again and take on the win ',ner. It is to be hoped that Yelling makes good, as it is about time that 8 new element was injected into the sit. luation so that 1t will not be necessary
 to constantly repeat the same match es

The St. Mary Juniors defeated the White Eagle Juniors recently by 9-3. The game ea was very interesting throughout. The timely hitting of the team and the pitching of Geuren helped to win the game. Next Sum- day the Juniors will play a double header with the Franklin Juniors of 9tratford in Stratford and on Sunday, August 13. the Saints will play the South End Juniors at Seaside Park.

RED sox FAvORITEs.

The Boston, Red Sox. have started a drive for the American league flag and many critics are picking them to win out as a result of their successful start on the western invasion, ; The Sox took three out of four in Cleve- land and have secured an even break in Detroit so far. Of course their hardest test will come in Chicago and they are likely to find rough going in St. Louis, where the Browns have gone mad with victory. Boston has the best pitching staff in either league and as the players have lately display ed signs of hitting power, their fol- lowers have good reason to rejoice.
 WHY O'HARA. BOUGHT.
 Everybody wondered why Jack O'Iara wanted to put money into a losing proposition like the Lawrence club. But the Springfield Union lets the cat out of the bag. The Union says O'Hara and ,his partner have been assured they can have a good city when the league is reorganized next season.
 The heroes of yesterday are the dis- cards of today. Babe Adams, who won fame by his pitching in the Pitts burgh h-Detroit worlds series of 1909, is about, to, pass out of the big show. The Pirates have asked. for waivers on him.
 Briggs and Warner continued their clouting for Bridgeport yesterday, each veteran getting two hits against Lowell. It was a lucky move for Manager Healy when he picked up those two birds.
 Another Bridgeport player who has been getting his daily blows is Hork-
