OLD HUGH
 DUFFY FORTY
 SEVEN TODAY

Old Hugh Duffy, once one of the greatest outfie1ders in the game and quondam manager of the White sox. will pass. his forty-seventh milestone today. Mr. Duffy is now a. magnate as well as a manager, being the pres ddent-pflot of the Portland club of the new Eastern league. He managed the club of the Maine metropolis last year and won the New England league gon- falon, although his bunch was a trail CT for two-thirds of the distance to the pennant- pole.
 Duffy was in his batting prime in the sos and for eleven years he was in the ranks of the 300 batters In 1894, when with the Boston Nationals, Hugh led the league with the phenom- enal batting average of .438 He.was with Chicago in 1888 and 1889, but his best work was with Boston, where he remained from 1892 to 1900. He was in the Players League in 1890 and the old American Association in 1891, and in 1901 he again deserted Ithe old league and went over to the sBan Johnson circuit, playing with Milwaukee,. In 4191O he was engaged as pilot-of Comiskey,s ball club and remained at the White Sox helm for two annums, finishing sixth in 1910 and fourth in 1911.

PILOT NEAL BALL
 AND DElNINGER IN LEAD FOR LONG HITS

Otto Deininger and Manager Neal Ball are leading the Bridgeport club in the production of extra base hits- Ball is ahead with one home run, six triples and two doubles this season. 'De1ninger is second with a record of three triples and four doubles. Ball is also ahead in stolen bases and sacrt- flee hits. He has piled up the fine total of IS. steals and has sacrificed seven times. Considering the short time he has been with the club Jimmy Curry's mark of five steals is good. Howie Baker has made two doubles and a triple and has stolen two sacks.

HARD TO COMPARE
 MORAN AND DILLON
 ON THEIR RECORDS

New York, June 20-There is little in the records of Jack Dillon and Frank Moran on which to base a com parison. Both have met Gunboat Smith, and Moran lost a twenty round decision, while Dillon outpointed the Gunner in ten. But Smith was at his best when he met Moran. He was but Q shell of his former self when he tackled Dillon. Then, too, Moran was just learning how to fight at the time of his match with Smith He has improved in every way since those days.
 It is only quite recently that Moran improved enough to De accepted as a first class fighting man. He never could, or ever will be able to box, and he lacks the speed necessary to beat clever man down by main strength, but he has learned a lot about ring generalship. Like Willard, Moran learned how to fight by studying Jack Johnson in Paris Moran was a joke. It is only since his gruel1ing twenty rounds with the black that he has amounted to anything.
 Moran, of course, did not pick up any or Johnson's delft defensive tricks. nor did he learn to copy the black s methods, of hitting. / What he did learn was the value of keeping cool while in action. He learned to think while on his feet, something so few fighters are able to do. Moran has the best fighting brain in the ring today. That and a sturdy chin are the only high class qualities about ht1a as a fighter.

EXPECT LARGE CROWD
 TO SEE JACK DILLON
 AND MORAN IN ARENA

Jack Dillon is working for his June 29 match with Frank Moran in the same arena where the big scrap is going to take place, at. Washington Park. There is a free gate to witness his. training, and up to date, there have been between five and ten thou san. people turning out to look over the man whom many fans believe will be the next heavyweight champion. On Sunday there were very, close to ten thousand in the grand stand when Dillon hoped into the ring to wade through his sparring partners.
 It, begins to look as if the receipts for the Di1lon-Moran musS are going to crowd the WilIard-Moran figures, pretty closely. The ringside tickets were put on sale on Saturday last, and the demand was tremendous, consid- ering the fact that the contest is still two weeks off. Ticket headquarters were opened in five different places: the box office at Madison Square Garden and the one at Washington Park. being the principal ones. The grand stand box seats and the reserv- ed seats in the grand stand will be placed on sale the middle of next week.
 With the exception of 2,5o0 seats in the bleachers every seat in the gigan- tic arena twill be reserved. The ref cree question is still in abeyance The articles call for the selection of this official, a week before the date of the bout, which sets next Thursday as the time for naming the third man in the ring. Dillon, Moran and the club officials are to decide this ques- tion and in the event of a disa agree- ment then, of course, the Boxing Commission will take the matter in hand. Many names have been men toned, so far. with those of Billy Roche, Charley White, Bill Brown, Matt Hinkel and Ed Smith, being the most prominent

AL LEXANDER BEATS
 BROOKLYN IN BIG SERIES FOR LEAD

New York, June 20-A1exander the Great was great yesterday and as a result Jeff Pfefer went down to de- feat in a pitchers duel which was worth watching in spite of a water soaked field, leaden skies, an intermit- tent drizIe and occasional torrents. When Bill Klifer finally caught a foul fly from StengeIs bat which end ed the game while Dodger runners languished on first and third the score was to 2 in favor of the Phillies.
 It was the first time the Quakers have beaten the Dodgers at Ebbets Field this year, and only the second time they have beaten the leaders at all in a total of 10 meetings. The outcome brought the champions of 1915 within two games of their new challengers-a margin so small that it can be wiped away in this series uri- less the charges of Wifbert Robinson perk up and regain their sway over the Pat Moran men.
 The Phflhes were ahead at all times with the exception of d brief spell of perhaps minute between the end of the Brooklyn, sixth inning and the middle kof the visitors seventh.

LES DARCY TO MAKE TRIP TO
 THIS COUNTRY

New York, June 20.-It seems prob able now that Les Darcy, the Austra Han mtddleweight, whosis hailed by many as the next middleweight cham pion of the world, will pay a visit to this country. The source of this in formation is Fred Dyer, another Aus traians who has received a letter from a friend in Australia, in which which it was said that Darcy would sail next week for America" Accord ing to this news Darcy is already on the water on his way to this country. The letter also contained the news that Darcy was leaving Sydney, Aus traHa, for San Francisco, where he would meet Jack Kearns, his Ameri- can manager.
 Many boxing promoters in this country have displayed an eagerness to get Darcy to come to the United States and some good offers have been made. The Australians feat in twice knocking out Eddie McG oorty, who was looked upon as a; legitimate con tender for the worlds middlewei ght honors, convinced promoters on this side of the ocean that he was a boxer of ability.
 N All attempts, however, to induce the Australian to come to this country have failed because of the war and the IacL that ne IS enS1pIe Tor military duty. The last heard from Darcy was that he had enlisted and was training in the aviation corps. It was under stood recently that a heavy bond, guaranteeing Darcy's return to Aus trahaL after he had contested in C ser ies of bouts in this country. had been refused consideration by Australian officials.
 F. If the information contained in the letter to Over is authentic American enthusiasts of boxing can look for ward to match between Mike Gib- bons, the St. Paul boxer, and Darcy. Attempts by prom oters on both sides of the ocean to obtain match be- tween these two boxers have failed.

CALL FOR MILITIA NEARLY
 STOPPED YALE-HARVARD RACE
Members of Crews Get Permission to Join Regiments
 After Regatta On Thames

New York, June 2O-In addition to aisrupting the reunion Hplans of many , Yale graduate who had come on Tor joyous commencement, and breaking up the summer plans of Bome 400 students, President Wilson's call for the state militia of Connecti- scut also threatened yesterday to cause the cance1Iing of the Yale Harvard regatta at New London Fri day and the possible disruption of the lineup of Yale and possibly Harvard In the game at the field today.
 The matter was adjusted finally by the granting of temporary leave of absence to those Yale athletes who would have been affected by the or der for mobilization today. Presi- nent Hadley's intervention brought about the desired result and Major Danford of the Yale battery stated last night that matters would be a,d- tusted so as not to disrupt the closing athletic events and commencement Festivities so far as the battery boys are concerned.
 There are four artilIerymen who
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-06-20

are members of the Yale crew squad, Morris Hadley, son of President Had ley; S. w. Atkins, G. F. Lawrence, Jr., the varsity stroke; and Gi1h11an. These men, it was feared, would have to be replaced in the Yale boat be- cause of the mobilization. The gen era1 opinion prevailed yesterday that the boys would have to move to Mi antic right away.
 Roland V. Vaughn, captain of the Blues baseball team. is also a mem Der of the battalion. He will report this morning for the first roll call, but was able to play in the first game of the Yale-Haryard series in the afternoon. The question of whether he can pay in the later games, scheduled for out of town. has not been determined yet, but it is expect ed it will be possible for him to com p1ete the series.
 There was a report that some liar yard athletes were similarly situated but it is believed if such is the case matters will also be adjusted. The proposed cancellation of the regatta, it now seems certain, is averted.
