WALSH FAILS
 TO HOLD LEAD; LOSES IN NINTH

New Haven, June 1.-Marty w alsh weakened in the final half of the ninth And the Murlins taIlied three runs De- lore Dye, who succeeded him. could locate the plate. Moose MilIers sin kIe, with the paths damned, did the Trick. and the final score was to 4, with New Haven on top for their sec bnd consecutive victory over Bridge port
 The contest began rather disastrous 0, for the visitors tallied twice in the opening session on 9 hit, a pass ana an error and in the sixth they doubled Eheir total on J. Shannon's error and Walsh's home run over the right field kence. The feat of walsh is especially
 marked because it was upon this hit Ehat one of the most interesting tea- lures of the game hinged
 ' Umpire Bannon saw the ball go over he fence, but stayed in the middle of Ehe diamond and called it fair for he had busy day yesterday and couldn afford to exert himself more than nec- Assary. This. aroused Danny Mur- phys ire and he advanced upon Ban non with decks cleared for action, his guns were working nicely and he launched several shots at the charac- ker of the, umpire, his ancestors and general history in such,-ap effective nnaner that he was plastered with a S5 penalty and requested to resume his Seat the bench
 This four run lead, however, proved h mere incentive to the Murlins for they went out and grabbed one in the Bixth and another in the eighth, fin ashing the job in the ninth by sending khree men across the pan in the final session and leaving the sacks full. Donovan tottered perilously on sev- eral occasions, but his teammates made up for his deficiencies. Catcher Smith was hit on the end of the nnger by a. bad ball in the first inning but remained throughout the game. First Baseman We're stepped on the bag ahead of Moose in the sixth inning and was badly spiked.
 M. shannon featured the batting for ohe Mur1ins by driving out a triple and single in two trips to the plate and Marty Walsh was the heavy hit ter for the visitors with a home run and double to his credit,
 J. Shannon started the big rally in the ninth by pumping one at Ball that took bad bound. Chouinard was tapped on a slow roller and Devine singled to center. Bressler, batting for Donovan, drew a pass, filling the bases. Walsh had two balls and one strike on Nutter when he was yankec 1n favor of Dye. Danny then sent Red Murphy to the plate and Red worked Dye for a pass, forcing J. Shannon across the plate. Danny Murphy batting for Tferney drove out a sacrifice fly and .Devine naked up the tying run. Maurice walked and Moose Care across with single to deep center that finished the game by scoring Bressler.

The Bridgeport club won't remain in the cellar long if the new owners can help it. A big shakeup was made in the club today, which it is hoped will result in strengthening the locals Jimmy Curry, the former Eastern association infielder, arrived today to play second base and Dick Philadelphia National league catcher, has been signed to act as first back stop.
 Curry was secured from New Lon don. Dowd is going well for McCann at second and Curry wasn't needed. In fact he hadn't played with the Planters at all this year. He was New York State league during the winter but couldn't come to terms with McCann. When he wouldn't re- port McCann decided to dispose of him. Curry is an aggressive player and very fast. He stole 40 bases for Bingh anton last season. which is an excellent record. He hit .262. Curry when in the old Eastern association was always good for a .260 mark
 Cotter is a, heady- backstop who will surely strengthen Bridgeport in a. de- partment where it has been weak. Cotter was with Lancaster in the new league in Pennsylvania, which dis banded a few days ago. He is ex- pected here today or tomorrow.
 It was also announced today that First Baseman Thompson and Out f11eder Gaudette have been released. Thompson has fallen down in hitting lately. We're will be retained on first but will have to show hitting ability to hold the job. Gaudette was a fair mechanical player, but made too many head1ess plays to suit the management Catcher Crook, who has a bad spike wound, has gone to his home in Low ell, Mass, to recover. It is said that the new pitchers name is not Van Loan but Leon. He has been with Providence of the International league He has a1reday reported.
 In today's game at Hartford, Man ager Ball will play shortstop and Cur ry second. Ball has played shortstoI as much as second and is equally al home there Wha1en, who has not been doing much batting, will be benched. George Moshier goes to right field for thespresent. Although not a

 STAMFORD SUNDAY

| The Pittsburgh Pirates, with Hans Wagner, Max Carey, Hinchman and <he other regulars in the lineup, will play the Stamford seni-pro team at Stamford next Sunday afternoon. Johnny Barron and Earl Champion of this city, will twir1 for Stamford Last Sunday Barron held the Yankees to five hits and three runs in seven inn ldngs. They got to him for seven hits, four of them lucky. in the eighth, and scored eight runs. Barron is de- sirous of a chance to redeem himself and will get it Sunday.
 It is expected that Howard Baker and PJuras both Bridgeport boys, will be in the Stamford lineup, along with the other Bridgeport lads who play with Stamford-But1er, Clark, Hork- heimer. Bowden and Burke.

YALE DECLINES
 INVITATION TO ROW IN NORWAY

New Haven, June 1-The Yale crew declined yesterday an invitation to row against a, crew from the Student CTS Roklub of Christiania, Norway, on July 8. The invitation was extended by a cousin of King Haakon VII. of Norway, Jan Schjerve. who came to America to present the invitation in person. He bore an eIaborateIy en- graVed invitation and numerous let ters of introduction. During his stay here he has been the guest of the Yale crew.
 He is an excellent oarsman and has spent some time rowing in a sin gle scuu on the New Haven harbor- He was enthusiastic over the pros pect of an international rowing race this summer, but the Yale navy au- thorities were forced to decline the invitation of his club because the Harvard race is scheduled for June 23. and it would be imp possible for the men to, make a satisfactory trip to Christiania in time.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1s96-George Lavigne knocked out Dick Burge in 17th round at London In tack1ing Burge the little Saginaw Kid manifested a spirit of gamepess practically unknown among the Ting sters of today. who spend months squabbling about a few pounds. Burge was called the British lightweight champion, but at the time he met Lavigne he was a bit heavy for a wei terweight, and besides this great ad- vantage in weight he was inches taller than the American. Moreover, Burge was a game, clever scrapper, and there was scarcely sportsman in England who thought that little Lavigne had a chance against him. ''Pd fight him if he weighed ton," quoth the Saginaw Kid, when some of his friends advised him to drop the match. Burgess great advantage in weight, height and reach told from the start, and the tiny French-Cana- dian had his work cut out for him. several times during the fight it seem ed that Burge was on the point of vic tory, but Lavigne in the end out fought and outgamed him and put him to sleep.

HOPE FOR CROWD
 OF OVER 3O,OOO
 FOR AUTO DERBY

Chicago, June IA record advance sale of more than 3O.OO0 reservations for the Second International Auto Derby to be run here on June 10 has been announced by the officials of the local speedway, who now expect 40 starters when the entry lists close on June 1.
 Coming as it does during the week of the Republican and Progressive national conventions the demand for seats from out of town have been 10 times what would be the ordinary run of things. This does not mean, however, that there is any shortage of seats, for the huge grand stands hold close to 15O,0OO, but it is an in dication that the local race will break all previous records so far as attend ance is concerned. Last year 8O,OOO viewed the battle for first place with only an advance sale two weeks be- fore the race of 5000 tickets.
 There will undoubtedly be two Hudson cars in the race. Vail has all ready entered the one in which he scored at New York and Ralph Null ford has sent word that he has a new Super Six at Indianapolis that he will enter in the Chicago race along with his Peugeot. He will probably handle the Hudson himself and it would not surprise the local followers of the speed game if Joe Dawson returned to the game at the wheel of the Peu- geot.
 The fact that there are two cars from the Hudson-factory in the rac- ing game at the present time would lead one to believe that the Hudson Company is going in for racing this year although they make no official statement and do not appear in the deal to the public or to the Speedway officials.

GUY MORTON, OLD WATERBURY STAR,
 IS ALABAMA BOY

Guy Morton, the distinguished, young hurIer Of the Fohlies of 1916, will pull off a birthday party today. Guy is a son of the sunny southland, and can count twenty-three annums since he made his mundane debut at Vernon, Ala, on June 1, 1893. The Cotton State kid started out this sea son to give an imitation of water run ming through a sieve, the American League being the said sieve, and in his early efforts in that direction he has succeeded admirably.
 Morton is a comparative newcomer in the ranks of the American pastime. He was first heard of in Columbus, Ga., in 1913, and at the tail end of the season he was sold to Cleveland, which turned him over to Waterbury In 1914. Up to the middle of June he had lost one game and won eight for the Stemwinders of the Eastern Association, and he was then called back to Cleveland, where he won nine games and lost five in the remainder of the season.
 Last year the Alabama youth got away with a rush and for a time he stood the batters on their beans with
 his terrific speed and sharply break
 ing curves. Then he bumped into that fourteen-inning battle with the
 Red Sox, in which he held Boston to one hit in twelve innings, but lost in the fourteenth. The strain of that
 performance seemed to put him on
 the blink for a time, but later he re-
 vived, and finished the season with a string of sixteen victories and fifteen defeats.
 Another A1abaman who has a birth day today is Tommy Long, the Cardi- nal outfe1ders who passes the quar- ter-century mark. Thomas has been lup and down several times, being one of those players who are almost but not quite. He started with Gadsden, Ala, in 1910, and was called to Wash l ington in 1912, but was shipped back to Mobile. Griffith again gave him | the once-over in 1913, and sent him to Atlanta, where he spent two seasons, batting over the 300 mark both years. i Last year he was given a regular berth in the St. Louis o1tfeld, and batted .294 for the Cards.
 Otto Miller, the veteran backstop of | the Dodgers, is a Nebraskan by birth,
 and is twenty-seven today, as .he was ] born in Minden on June 1, 1889. Otto 1 played with Sharon, Pa., Louisville and Duluth before he was given a job
 with the Brooklyn club in 1910. In 1 the main show his batting average has
 ranged from .210 to .278. He swatted
 the pill at .224 gait last year.

GIANTS ARE OFF
 AGAIN ON SECOND WHINING RAMPAGE

Philadelphia June 1-Rube Benton, veteran southpaw of the Giants. pitch ed his club to a to 2 victory over the champion PhilIies yesterday. Ben ton took the measure of Alfred Ben der, the Chippewa chief who was al ways so troublesome against Me Graws men those years the two AIacks fought it out for the worlds cham pionship.
 It would be hard to say whether Bender has gone back since 1913 or the Giants have improved wonderful ly in the meantime. It is quite true that the redskin hasn't gone far back. in any event. He didn't pitch so well as his southpaw rival, but he pitched well enough to make an interesting game against the very best that Rube Benton could show:
 The Giants, however, during their rampage on the road have found a number of winning solutions One of their very best habits that is so conducive to victory is ability to be- labor good pitching at least for a few moments some time between the open ing and closing innings. A demon stration of this pleasing art in the third inning did for Bender. =- Four resounding swats, punched with pass and a sacrifice fly, furnished the visitors with three runs.
 Three runs were quite enough the way Benton was stepping. Fred Merk1e, though, was taking no chances. With two out in the eighth inning he stung one of Bender's fast pitches for a low line drive that bounced into the open left field bleacher for a. home run
 Outside the third Chief Bender seemed just about the same stoic that helped Connie Mack to so many championships. The Indian had speed and a good curve, with fair control. Bender will be heard from regularly, no doubt, after a little more hot weather.

M'AULIFFE HOPES
 TO BEAT WALTZ
 IN MERIDEN BOUT

Sammy Waltz is +o have his long 1ooked-for crack at the state feather weight title, held by Young McAu- life, when these lads clash at the Lenox A. c. of Meriden next Tuesday evening. In their last bout at New Haven the Bridgeport batt1er was awarded the decision by Referee Dave Fitzgerald but the Hartford fans were unsatisfied and feel certain that their idol will redeem himself in this match. The bout is scheduled to go 15 rounds at 125 1-2 pounds, Waltz's best weight, and should be full of excitement A special delegation will attend from Hartford and it is believed that a number will make the trip from here
 In the semi-fnal the fans expect a repetition of the George Chip-Sailor Grande fight held here a few weeks ago. Young Mack and Stanley Creed, both of Meriden and for a long time claimants of the featherweight honors of that city, will clash in an eight round go at 128 pounds.
 An added attraction to Meriden bouts is that Park City fans are af- forded excellent train connections, be- ing able to leave that city immedi- ately after the show. Dave Fitzgerald has been scheduled to officiate, and Hugh Rorty will do the announcing.

West Point. N. Y, June 1.-The Army and Holy Cross went to 9, tie yesterday in a loosely played game. The final score was 6 to 5, the game being called at the end of the seventh by agreement.

remainder of his big league days. Witt is, besides a clever fielder and heavy hitter, fast baser unner, and in one of the early season games with the Red Sox he went from first to third on an infieId out, one of Ty Cobb's tricks.
 There is little doubt in the minds of close followers of the game, but that Witt will stick with fast company and improve as he grows o1oder. He is now part of what Connie Mack says will be a championship team next year.

CT dno d Qu1cker thlnker than Gau- dette.
 It may be stated without fear of contradiction that at the present time the Bridgeport pitching staff is the weakest in the league. The man agement should bend all it's efforts to strengthen this department because the present club would be able to hold it's own if good twirling could be pro- vided;
 William Crouch, who at one time had trial with the St. Louis Browns, made a worlds record for strikeouts yesterday in Wilmington, Del. In City league game he famed 31 men in 9 inning contest. His team won to 3. Crouch allowed 10 hits and walked two
 Ray Heating has evidently struck his stride for the Yankees. He twirled four innings of the first game with the Athletics, replacing Cu11op in the fifth. Heating allowed only one run and four hits.
 Manager Ball got back into the hit column yesterday. He rapped out two singles and stole a base. He had gone three games without hit, which is unusual for him. Ball is also playing fine fielding game.
 Johnny Overton of Nashville, Tenn, has been elected captain of the Yale track team. He is a mile runner and has captured many races for Yale.
 There is some talk of a match between Packey Hommey and George Chaney for the star bout of the next boxing show. Both boxers have good regulations but the fans would undoubtedly prefer one of the con- testants to be a local boy or at least somebody who had previously ap- peared in this city. A bout between Young McAu1iffe and Young Rector would draw a crowded house.
 New London goes right on winning games. Harvey Russell is doing more of the catching now and the former Brfdgeporter is hitting hard. He got two blows against Lowell yes terday.

throughout, correctly interpreted,
teaches the allness of spirit, as does
Christian Science, and it is only
through the recognition of the reality
Of the spiritual universe, including
man, and a correct and scientific un-
derstanding of what matter is that
the examples of Jesus became prac-
tical and the Truth which he taught
becames available.
! AS To whether Christian Science
is Scientific depends upon its ability
to prove its teachings and those of the
Master "by signs following" 1t is
that Jesus of Nazareth was the most
maintained by Christian Scientists
scientific man that ever trod the globe
(Science and Health, page 313) in
that he proved his words by his works,
and it cannot be denied that both his
words and his works were in distinct
opposition to the teachings of old the
oiogy and so-called natural science.
He taught the science of God, or the
law of Divine Mind which law he de-
monstrated and proved to be superior
to all other so-called laws. or a law
of annihiliation to all that is unlike
God, and this is exactly what Chris
tian Science is endeavoring to do.
The faults which the reverend critic
seems to find with Christian Science
are strikingly in accord with the
charges and accusations which the
scribes, the priests and the pharisees
of old hurled against the Master; yet
Christianity lives on and through
Christian Science il is demonstrating
and will demonstrate TO all the ages to
come, those great truths which Jesus
came TO establish with men.
1t is not possible in brief news

raised by our critic, but to those in
terested in knowing the truth about
Christian Science and its Revered
Leader, Mrs. Eddy. reference is direct
ed to the Christian Science textbook
and to the various other writings of
Mrs. Eddy on this subject, as we'll as
the history of the life of Mrs. Eddy
by Sibyl Wilbur. Christian Science is
an open book, subject to the investi-
cation of all, and the carpings of pre-
judice and bigotry need not be relied
upon as the only source of authentic
information concerning this all-im-
portant subject.
