MARTIN UNSTEADY
 AND LOCALS LOSE

Worcester, June 3-Although the Bridgeport lineup was changed again today the brand of pitching wasn't good enough to win and the Wor- cester club took decision by to 1. Bill Martin, who worked for Bridge port went bad in the first and third, and although he twir1ed well after that the damage had already been done.
 Bugs Smith, who hurled for Wor- cesterf, was tapped freely but many hard drives went straight at some fielder In an effort to help the de- fense Manager Ball put himself back at second and sent Whalen to short stop. Jimmy Curry went to center field where he covered lots of ground. Danny Hoffman was put in right gar den and Moshier was benched.
 Worcester got a flying start by talk ing two runs in the first. Murray was passed and Maloney bunted. Mar tins wild throw allowed Murray to score and Maloney counted on Ma gees sacrifice fly. Worcester bang ed out three runs in the third but was unable to touch Martin after that.
 Bridgeport got it's only run in the third. Martin singled and stole sec ond. He scored on an error by Mur- ray. The teams play here again to- day. The score:

Walnuts and Laurels
 Will Play Tomorrow
WALNUT SPORTS.

WALNUT SPORTS.
 Tomorrow at the South End flats the Laurel A. c. of this city, will tackle the fast Walnut A. c.
 The Laurel boys have met with lit tie or opposition in their travels through out the state, and the fact that the Walnut A. c. has been hum fbIed by only one local team, firmly convinces a solid south-end backing that championship honors are now within reach of Manager Burns and his teammates.
 Barrett, the husky youth who al- lowed the Laure1s but two hits last season. will be on the firing line for the Walnuts, while Broad, the sen satfonal southpaw, will pitch for the Laure1s.

Even Umpires Have
 Signal System Now

A few years ago signals between 4nmpires was practically unknown. This year the system is advanced to almost the proportions Of the baseball team signals, writes s. E. McCarty, in the Pittsburgh Leader. Umpires must work in harmony, and often. very often. one umpire makes a decision on a play that the other umpire has ruled on. The umpire at the plate must rule on whether a ball is caught or not in the out7eld. On a trapped ball this is difficult. This year the field umpire has been instructed to pay particular attention to trapped balls. He forgets the base runner and gets as close to the fielder as pos sfb1e, on a close play of that kind.
 He immediately flashes a signal to the umpire at the plate and the latter makes the ruling. even though it is possible he did not see the play, on account of players running between him and the ball. In some of the parks, especially right field in New York, it is practically impossible for a plato umpire to see the ball after ii leaves the bat.
 A hit to right field is difficult to judge, even from first base, as at ffxnes it looks like it hits into the stands and bounees out; other times like it hits the wall, when in fact, it plate umpire must rule on the plays Plays at third base are left very largely to the signal system, too,

LEONARD AND WELSH SIGN TO
 B0X JUNE 15

New York, June 3-Benny Leonard ana Freddie Welsh were matched by the Washington Park Sports club of Brooklyn to meet in g. 10-round bout on Thursday night, June 15- It will be Leonard's second crack at the lightweight champion, whom he out pointed in another 10-rounder last March.
 The New Yorker wanted a 20-round battle with Welsh at Buenos Ayres in July, but the Englishman's affair with Charlie White there prevented it's be- ing arranged. Welsh felt he could not afford to face two such fOrmida- bIe men in one month, so the short x-.e4ch here was made as a compro- mise. They are to make 1855 pounds at , o'clock on the afternoon before the fight.

BASEBALL UNIFORMS

The first baseball game in which any of the players wore uniforms was pull ed off just sixty-f1ve years ago to-day, June 3, 1851, when the New York Knickerbockers, the pioneer ball club, played the Yorkvii11e Washingtons
 The Knickerbocker players created a. great sensation by appearing on the field clad uniformly in white shirts and blue trousers, with straw lids cov- ering their domes. Cheers, hoots and cat-cal1s greeted their appearance, for the uniforms were a complete sur prise, and were publicly worn for the
 first time at that game. The Wash ingtons, like all other clubs up to that
 time, were garbed in plain citizens clothing The idea made a great hit, and within a year all the important clubs were wearing uniforms. Long trousers were worn up to 1868, when the Cincinnati Red Stockings pulled off
 another innovation by adopting short pants" The Reds in that year wore
 caps, and their sartoriaI outfits estab- lished precedent which has been followed to this day, with some slight changes and improvements.
