HERO'S NAME IS A MISNOMER
"Froussard" Is PoItroon in Dictionary,
but This Soldier Of Franco
Is Not One.

Paris.-The chronicles OF men whose
names in themselves signify unworthy
attributes. but who through personal
achievements have lifted them to new
meanings are now enriched by the
story of Louis Froussard. Louis is a
famous name--a saint once wore it
but "froussard'' signifies poltroon, a
coward, so far as the dictionary is
concerned. What the 'froussard' with
the capital ''F"' did to amend that
meaning is told as follows in "The Or.
Ter Of the Day" of the French army:
Private Louis Froussard, the true
type of courageous soldier, distin-
euished himself in marked degree in
our attack on the German trenches
on September 25.'
The Figaro remarks that the French
academy has reached the letter 'F'' in
preparing it's new dictionary of the
French language and that the learned
photographers ought not to forget that
"froussard" now signifies its own anti
thesis.

SAXON COUPE.

Once in a great while, one Of our
automobile factories will bring out a
new design in car bodies, and every
one will wonder why it was not done
long before The Saxon Motor Car
company has lately placed upon the
market new coupe top for their pop
'ular little four-cylinder roadster. This
top is hands omely finished in leather
and plate glass, and makes a snug
place to drive in bad weather. In
the summer the top can be removed
and the regular canopy top put on.
The style of the car is so neat, and
the cost of the car and of operation
so much below anything on the mar
ket that there has been an instant
demand everywhere for this new Sax
on. The Corwin Motor company han
die them in Bismarck.

MANY CRIMES IN
 FIELDING CAUSED DEFEAT OF LOCALS
(By Wagner.)

, Speaking by and large we might say that what the Bridgeport club
 needs is a catcher who can catch and 1 Q. few pitchers who can pitch. Also ;. a right fielder who can field: The 4sOOO fans who whiIed away yesterday afternoon at Newf1eld park saw some body present Danny Hoffman with $25 En gold and a bouquet. If somebody

.DEININGER LEADS
 BRIDGEPORT CLUB
 WITH SLAPSTICK

Otto Deininger, the husky outfielder. has added a real punch to the Bridge port club since he joined Neal Balls crew. In three games Otto has made six hits for an average of .462. He leads the club by a mile. Manager Ball has gone along at a good clip, failing in only one game to get at least one hit. Al OdeH s1umped during the week and Jake Bou1tes hasn't got go- ing yet. He has the stuff, though, and will soon produce.
 Gaudette and Moshier, who have played in the outf1e1d all season. have fallen away badly in hitting. Bob Thompson also dropped a few points but he is a natural hitter and will soon be up there again. As Hoffman started only yesterday his average won't ap- pear until next week. The following averages include yesterdays game and aY of

years, beginning in 1907, Austin was a prominent bantamweight boxer on the Coast, and mingled successfully with the best boys of his division. In 1908 he defeated Young McGovern, Tom Murray, Willie O'Keefe, Young Togo and other good lads, but lost to Mike Kutchos. In 1909 he lost to Red Cor bett in San Diego, but got a draw in a return bout. The next year Austin added several more victories to his string, but went down to defeat before Eddie Campi, the San Francisco ban tam. and also lost to Battling Chico in Los Angeles Austin started his ring career like a coming champion, but like many another youngster, he failed to live up to his early promise. Nearly all of Austin's battles were fought in Los Angeles and neighboring cities in southern California, although he fought occasionally in San Francisco and New Orleans.

SPRING FOOTBALL : PRACTICE AT YALE
 PROVED BIG HELP

New Haven, May 22.-Spring foot ball practice at Yale, just closed, has impressed the expert observes at New Haven as highly successful and as promising gratifying returns In the way of increased strength on the grid iron next autumn. The captain of the eleven, c. R. Black, expresses himself on the, subject as follows in the Yale Daily News:
 Spring football practice, which end- workout of that sort that has ever been held at Yale. There were from 50 to 75 men out every day and the spirit of these men was excellent. They wanted to learn, and those arc the men we need; not the ones who think they know it all, but those who are willing to learn.
 Y 1.-TWO things were brought out clear 1y in the spring work: first, the men were shown what a great part funda- mentals play. and how they could use these points in scrfmmage; secondly and most important, it was clearly brought out that we are out for bus mess, that football is a cold-bIooded proposition and will be rated as such next fall.
 t'tThe first two weeks of practice were taken up with fundamentals and every detail was clearly pointed out to the men in individual instruction. The last two days of scrimage did not amount to much, but it could be seen that the men had learned a great deal and were thinking about it. Papers were given out to both the backs and the Iine-men containing exercises which they must do all during the summer A lot of work was required in getting out these exercises and every man ought to do them seriously each day. Everymody must come back next fall in good condition and be able to give everything they've got to make a winning team.''
 The spring practice this season has. been the hardest and most vigorous in many years. Practice lasted for nearly three weeks and from 50 to 75s men turned out every day. From four to five coaches were on hand all, the time so that the men could have in dividuaI instruction.

EAST END PLANS FINE TIME AT NEXT
 WEEKS CARNIVAL

up High Billy Kline, who bills himself as the daredevil diver, is one of the features of the carnival which will be held at Newfe1d park during the week of May 29 under the auspices of the Twelfth District Republican club. 5 A tall pole will be erected on the grounds and Kline will dive from this at every performance. This pole will be so high that people in the cen ter of the city will be able to see it Kline is one of the veterans in the diving business and has number of new ideas which always thrill.
 Another feature which will surely please lovers of the water will be Ben jamin H. Schlomberg and Miss Ray Godfrey. Schlomberg has a record of having saved 118 lives in IS years and a. lot of East End kids will probably try to crawl under the tent to see him. Miss Godfrey, although a young girl, has demonstrated on many occasions her skill in acrobatic and fancy div ing, as we'll as in life saving tactics.
 All the performers are members of the Dorman & Krause show, which will provide the entertainment pro- gram for the carnival. Other attrac- tions are Chief Joseph Little Bear and his tribe of Mohawks, Colonel Fred, the horse with the human brain, Sam Anderson's championship congress of athletes and wrestlers, Oovetta, the Mystery show, the Crazy House, the side shows, the merry-go-round, the Ferris wheel and the jitney swings. It looks like a busy week for the East End

YANKEES ARE NOT
 HITTING ANY MORE. THAN IN OLD DAYS

New York, May 22-Considering the Yankees. their work during the past week was only fair. During the week the locals played only three games, and won one, lost another and tied the third. In their games against the Western teams the Tanks won only three. lost five, and tied one. They may make hay against the Browns when they come here on Tuesday, though the Federalized Lonesmen have won three out of their last four games.
 The Yankee team still is lacking in the old punch, and on the whole the club is hitting little better than it did a year ago. Baker has added some needed strength, and so has Gedeon, though Joe is no longer skipping out the hits the way he did a few weeks back.
 It generally was believed that the team had added most of it's new bat ting strength in the outfield. But Gi1hoo1ey is' hitting far under Cooks gait of 1914 and 1915, while Magee has sagged below Cree's poor 1915 average. Mac is trying hard, but he made only two hits since the team returned on May g, and one of them was 8, scratch single. Pipp gets a long hit now and then, but he is far below his gait of last spring, while Maise1, before his injury, also hit abount a hundred points below his average of a year ago. The redeeming work. of the team is that of the new battry rpateria1. Gull Top, Mogridge and -Shawkey have been pitching grand ball, and young Walters, the Texas League catcher, looks like a jewel. Nunamaker also is batting better than at any other time in his career.

HARVARD CREW WINS FROM CORNELL FOR
 FIRST TIME IN YEARS

Cambridge, Mass. May 22-Harvard varsity and freshman crews defeated Cornell in two races in the Charles river basin, Saturday. In the varsity race the Crimson he41 the advantage almost from the first stroke, while the freshman contest was more equal.
 When the varsity crews settled down after tn cir sprint from the mark Harvard's shell was 8 quarter of a length in front. Rowing a stroke or two higher than their rivals. ' the Crimson forged steadily ahead until they had a lead of a length.
 Approaching the mile mark at liar yard Bridge, Cornell cut down the lead to half a length. Harvard met the challenge by raising the stroke and steadily opened up a substantial lead until the shell flashed by the finish flag little more than two lengths ahead. The official time for the mile and seven-eights was: Harvard, 9:47; Cornell, 9:54.
 Harvard oarsmen made a clean sweep of the regatta by taking the ju- ntor events easily. In the Harvard Yale championship class chew race Harvard's sophomores led the Yale juuSoxs by about four lengths.

ELEVEN STRAIGHT FOR GIANTS WHEN
 THEY DEFEAT REDS

Cincinnati, May 22-McGraw's Giants, triumpha1 invaders of the West, plunged into this city yesterday with all the prestige and confidence that a record of 10 consecutive victor ies can give. When they deployed in open formation at the ball grounds they were in the second division of National League clubs. When they retired to well earned rest they had joined the elect in the first division, by virtue of the eleventh straight vic tory, which had the appropriate score of II to 1.
 Intent both on checking the sensa- tiOnaI climb of his former mates toward the pennant, and On' adding to his three straight victories garner ed from the Braves last week, HerzOg. used three pitchers. But the Giants thrashed the offerings of Elmer K2net- ger, the ex-Brave hurler. and then bounced upon Gene Dale and his curve ball with an even worse drub- ping.

Two bingles ar rived for the Reds in the seventh, one in the eighth, and two in the ninth,- but the only Redleg to count was Tom Griffith by virtue of his circuit cIOut over Kauffs head in center in the seventh.
 An idea of the kind of ball Ander- son served up to Herzog's tribe can be had from the fact that he caused no less than 13 of them to ground to Fletcher, who got all but one of them Kauff startled the popuIace in the fifth inning when, after getting on first through a free pass, he made a sensational steal of second.

when he should have waved them back to their jobs.
 Several members who spent the week end at the Fairfield Avenue Country club were at the Bridgeport New London battle as guests of Proxy Harry Quinn. One member said that all the Proxy spent was the week end.
 Jake Bou1tes and Bob Thompson of the Bridgeport club didn't have any luck with their bats yesterday. They
 hit hard on several occasions but couldn't get one safe. Bou1tes nearly knocked the props from under Tony Marhefka with a grounder in the ninth but Tony came up with the ball.
 The home fans had their first op- portunity to see Otto -Deininger and Danny Hoffman in action and it was the general opinion that these two veteranS will help the locals to many victories. Both have the style of natural batsmen and as they have taken part in many campaigns they won't wilt in the pinches.
 Walter Johnson is trying his best to land a pennant for Washington single handed. In addition to pitching great ball against Cleveland yesterday he made a double in the ninth on
 which he scored the winning run, thereby putting Washington within half game of Cleveland in first place. The official paid attendance in Cleve- land yesterday was 25, 1922.
 Fred Anderson, the former Federal
 pitcher, didn't shine for the Giants in the early games but has been pitching well for McGraw's men on the western jaunt. He won his third victory of the trip yesterday.
