FINE
 HURLING FEATURE ' OF l3 INNING TIE
(By Wagner.)

The value of good catcher to 8 club was never better demonstrated Lthan in yesterdays game at Newf1eld when Bridgeport end Lowell battled E13 innings to scoreless tie. With EnGike- F1aherty behind the bat the local Eteam looked 50 per lcent. stronger. Iahe former Lawrence and Reming- E&on backstop, steadied Mulrennan in EDeriods of wildness. used good judg- (anent in working the batters and, re- E&hrows to bases. F1aherty also got tive of the local clubs six hits. 1 Mulrennan twirfed master1y game isand 1t was a shame the Bridgeport kgoungster couldn't have won. AL !though tapped freely he was strong lin the pinches In the fifth, Torphy f7ed of with a two bagger and ,Kil- khu1len walked. but Lowell didn't EDcore. Green forced Torphy at fhird on an attempted sacrifice, fgtimpson flied to Blake and Mulren- Khan fanned Parker The latter is a fyoungster farmed out by the White [Eox.
 Green. the former New London Nhur1er, was even more effective. He khad just returned after a layofr. (which he spent at his home, trying to tget his arm right. Greens fast ball puzzled the locals. Bridgeport's best Fchance to score was in the 18th when Baker singled with one down and was kkorced by Warner. Whalen's hit sent 1Warner to third. Whalen stole sec tpnd but Moshier couldn't get the ball tout of the inheld.
 When Umpire Ready called the con-
 eegt on account of darkness the fans
 how1ed because they thought one or
 )two more innings could have been
 played. vice-president Dan O'Neil
 who was present, said the umpire
 should have, let the contest continue.

MATTY TAXES
 CHARGE OF HIS CINCINNATI CLUB

Cincinnati, O.. July 21.-Christy Mathewson, better known to baseball as Matty the Mighty, is now manager of the Cincinnati Reds Thus, after sixteen years, he returns to a team that allowed him to slip away without a trial. Matty was the lever by which the big deal between the Reds and the New York Giants, which has been hanging fire for a week, was consum- mated at noon yesterday.
 Harry N. Hampstead, President of the New York club and John J. Mo- Graw traded the one-time great pitt cher with Eddie Roush, the outfielder, and Bill McKechnie, the third base man to Cincinnati for Charley Her zog, the peppery infielder and mspa- ger of the Reds since 191t, and Wade killifer, an outfielder.
 An effort on the part of MT. Hemp stead to keep a string on Matty de- layed the trade, but finally he with drew this clause and Blk Six is now the sole property of the Cincinnati club. His appointment as manager was announced yesterday afternoon and he will take charge at once.
 Charley Herzog appeared to well come the chance to go back to the Giants, where he played for several years. He had a conference with Mo- Graw and quickly signed a three-year contract calling for $10 900 year.
 It was said also that he received a bonus for signing and will get fur ther bonus of $3,000 if the Giants win the National league pennant.
 ic fo ct New York infield, not only because of his ability as a player but because of his peppery nature and inspiring personality. He has way of keeping his mates on their toes. and the Giants have been lacking just this sort of a man. He has played in seventy five games this year and his batting aver age is .275. He was the only player manager in either league.
 Wade Killifer is brother to Billy Killifer, catcher of the Phf1lies. He has played in sixty-four games this year for batting average of .23S. He will be held in reserve by McGraw in case of injury to one of his regular outfielders.
 McKechnie, playing in sixty-seven games, has batting average of .243 while Roush. playing in only parts of thirty-six games, is under the 200 mark, but he has had few opportuni- ties.
 Both teams are likely to profit by the trade. Cincinnati neede a mana ger and secures man in Matty who knows every angle of the game and whose keenness of mind is sure, to be factor in making him as great a manager as he was pitcher.
 Herzog was held in high respect as August Hermann turned down on of fer from the Chicago Cubs of Heinie Zimmerman and a big cash considera- ton and an offer also from the Brook lyn team of $20,000 and the choice oi O'Mara or Getz.
 Herzog and Ki1lifer left here last night for Chicago with McGraw, and the former no doubt will play short stop tomorrow and hold that position until Fletcher returns to the game when it is believed that he will gc back to his old place at third base

SCHUPP DOES
 GREAT PITCHING 1. FOR THE GIANTS

Chicago, Ill.,, July 21.-The Giants have a habit on this trip of opening a series with a victory. then. losing the next game or even the next few games. They opened i'm Chicago We'd nesday with a victory and yesterday they lost. With Manager McGraw in Cincinnati putting through a coup and Larry Doyle manager pro tenn, the Giants were beaten, 1 to 0, by the Cubs in a ten-inning game.
 However . that was no fault of Lar rvs and hardly could have been avoided had McGraw been here. He could not have made the Giants hit Clahd Hendrix any better than they did, much as his managerial acumen would have seen the necessity for so doing. Xhe swift moist ball of the big former Federal twirler was employed with consistent effectiveness and the Giants made only three hits.
 The Giants, however, although they couldn't hit, played fast, alert game. The game was capttally played by both sides and was splendidly pitched by Schupp as we'll as Hendrix. The Cubs made only four hits off Schupp, one in the first, one in the second, one in the seventh, and one in the tenth. Schupp had a fast curve which for the most part sizzled and hooked over the plate before the Chicago batters could get a good slam at it. Hendrix outd1d Schupp a bit in consistency. He pitched fewer balls. He made his time after time displayed skill and game easier for himself than Schupp did.
 The New York oouthI aw, however, time after time displayed skill and coolness when in hole His liberal use of the waste ball often registered three balls against him. but generally in such cases he had the control wherewfth to put the next one over, and he was not afraid to curve it over.

THREE CLUBS WANT BALL.

While he was in this city yester- day, Vice-president Dan O'Neil of the Eastern league, settled little dispute between Neal Ball and former Owner Cornen regarding $50, which Cornen deducted from Balls last pay check. It was claimed this was taken out to cover a fine assessed on Ball when he was put off the field in Worcester. Ball said he was not told the money was to be deducted and Cornen final ly admitted he had forgotten to men, ton it to Bali. ONeil adjusted mat ters so Ball got his money
 Three clubs are after Balls ser vices. The New Haven Journal Courier says he is likely to join the Elm City club but also has wires from Lynn and Springfield. If he could get the same money he would prefer to play in New Haven because it Is nearer to his home here.
 The acquisition of Outfielder Joe Briggs, who joins Bridgeport in Springfield tomorrow ought to strengthen the locals. Briggs Is an experienced player who has been a dangerous hitter in past years. He was slow in getting started with the pat t1lS SedSOH Uul ouShI Io oc ASoUJ to deliver some base hits now. He will play right field and Moshier will be second catcher.
 Jack F1ynn's Springfield club will oe here Sunday. The Green i}ox have one of the best, batting clubs in the league and are sure to give great exhibition. Johnny Tillman. the for mer St. Louis American pitcher wired that he is on his way to join the Bridgeport club and will be here tomorrow morning. He will pitch Sunday against Springfield. The To- cal boy is popular here and the fans will be glad to see him in action. Till man has been pitching for Houston Tex. NF gt

LAVENDER AND VETERAN MCCONNELL ARE VICTIMS
 OF LINK THIS SEASON

New York, July 21-The element of luck plays an important part in the success of, a pitcher Jimmy Laven- der and George Mcconnell of the Cubs say it does, for they have had no as- sistance whatever from Dame Fortune and find 1t almost impossible to win a game. This is not due to their lack of ability, for they possess it, but it. is apparently owing to the breaks of the game going against them.
 They are worried over their failure to win consistently and would give al- most anything to drive away the hoo- doc that has been on their track since the opening of the season. They cer- tainly should have won more than .500 per cent. of their battles. They are in better condition than they have been in years and yet they cannot win with any degree of success.
 The principal fault in the luck of Mcconnell and Lavender apparently is that the Cubs cannot make any runs for them. Whenever they step to the rubber they have to either blank their opponents or to hold them to one run in order to win.
 They have not been getting any bat ting support and often they have lost through the faults of their teammates on the field.
 Of the two, Mcconnell probably has had the worse breaks. The Cubs, it seems, have found 1t almost impossi- ble to make more than one or two runs behind him. They have exerted themselves, but in most cases found the opposition too stiff. Mac" knows when he steps to the rubber that it is up to him to give the best he has to cop and does so from start to finish. Even with that he has not been able to compile a list of consecutive vic tories.
 Hard luck has not been weighing as heavily on Lavender's shoulders as on McConnells. His brand of pitching has not been as effective. but just the that would have been his with little better support at the plate. He had to shut out the Giants with one hit to win one of his three games and held Pittsburgh to four in another. He won a game from St. Louis with eight hits, but in the contest the Cubs made five runs for him.
 The 13 games Mcconnell and Lav- ender have lost between them have kept the Cubs from being fighting contenders for the flag. Had the team won two-thirds or one-half of these games they would now be up in the race struggling for the leadership, in stead of being in the second division.
