JIMMY CLINTON, OLD RIBBON STAR, NOW
 STAMFORD FLINGER

Secretary Dan O'Nei1 of the Eastern League has ruled that Johnny Barron, who refused to report to the Lawrence team this season, cannot play against Eastern League teams; at least, that Eastern League teams cannot play against a team that carries Barron. This ruling also applies to F1aherty, who caught for. Lawrence last season. Moreover, it deprives the Stamford semi-pro team of two mighty good baseball players, so far as Eastern League games go.
 To replace Barron Stamford has secured the services of Jimmy Clinton to pitch against the Lawrence team, which plays Stamford at the West End park, Stamford, Sunday after noon. Clinton is better known in Bridgeport as basketball player having been one of the stars of the Blue Ribbons. He has been pitchin g serni-pro ball in the Metropolitan district for number of years and, last seasan, beat the New York Giants. Jimmy has had many offers to go with league teams but refuses to give up a good position in New York for the uncertainties of baseball He is rated as one of the best baseba Il pitchers outside of organized base ball.

26 YEARS IN BASEBALL IS THE RECORD OF
 HUGHIE JENNINGS

On a June day back in 1890-it was on the 18th day of the month, to be exact, and therefore just 26 years ago today-the Allentown, Pa., club of, the Eastern Interstate league played a new man in the right garden. The newcomer, who was making his debut in professional baseball, didn't partic- ularIy distinguish himself. Nothing came his way to permit him to grab ia hunk of the limehght, and he spent his time pulling up bits of grass, and encouraging his comrades with shouts of t'Ee-yah! Ee-yah!'' During, the pas time he made four trips to the firing line with his trusty bat, and got one hit.
 He was a long. Iank young fellow, not yet of voting age, and the Allen town scribes described him as for
 ner coal miner who had played with several amateur and semi professional clubs in the Pennsylvania mining dis trict, and had displayed considera ble class. Still, the Allentown sports were not particularly enthuSed by him, and some of them doubted whether he would be able to last in such fast company as the Eastern Interstate. The Allentown anvil brigade predicted that 1t would soon be a, case of "back 1 to the mines for Hughie-for the re- ! cruit's nonaker was Hughie Jennings
 or Hugh Ambrose Jennings, as it ap-
 peared on his contract.
 l It is scarcely necessary to inform any intelligent and well-read person
 that Jennings didn't go back to the
 mines. He made such a, name fol himself that he was hired by the Lou
 isville Nationals, and for quarter oi

LOCALS PROTEST
 PLANTERS VICTORY

New London, June 16-Bridgeport protested New London's 1 to victory here yesterday because of a decision by Umpire Ennis, which was clear violation of the rules, and which al- lowed the Planters to score the win ming run. In the ninth Rodriques hit a slow grounder to Baker. The Bridgeport third sacker threw the ball over Werre's head into the bleachers and the Cuban started around the sacks. As he passed Gene McCann, who was coaching at third, the Plant CTS manager patted Rodriguez on the back. Under the rules the Cuban should have been declared out but the umpire said the rule about a coacher not touching a runner should not count because no play was being made at third. Manager Ball irnme ediately pro tested the game.
 It was . tough game for Bridgeport to lose. The ,Cornen crowd fought rthe leaders on even terms untl the un- lucky throw beat them.

SPEAKERS HIT IN 10TH BEATS :
 YANKEE TEAM

Cleveland, June 16-The Yankees, guided by Slim Caldwell and Bob Shawkey, forced the Indians to go 10 innings yesterday to win the opening game of the series here. to 2. Iris Speaker delivered the blow which gave Cleveland the game. Peckin- paush was responsible for the extra inning battle, being aided by Roy Hartzell, pinch-hitter. With the In dians on the safe side of 2 to score in the ninth inning and two down, Peckinpaugh slammed one of Coveleskie's s1ants to the fence in left field for a triple.
 Part of the 5000 fans had started to leave, thinking the game practically cinched for Cleveland. However, they turned back and saw HartzeIl step in and send "a single to the right field wall, which sent Peckinpaugh over the plate with the tying run.
 Caldwell looked rather Wobbly when he started the ninth, and after pitching one ball to GandiI, Shawkey was called to the mound. Coveles- kie held the Tanks helpless in the 10th and then, in the Indians half, came the climax. ShaWlzey passed Graneys who went to second on Turner's sacri- fee.
 At this juncture, Peclxinpaugh walked in and urged Shawkey to pass Speaker. Bob got two wide ones in and was about to deliver a, third, when Donovan wig-wagged for him to shoot one over. He obeyed or l ders by cutting the plate with a hot | one, which Speaker slammed past Pipp for a single. Turner had a long lead off second and scored the winning run easily.

SLUMP OF BAKER
 DUE TO ABSENCE
 OF EDDIE COLLINS

Detroit, June 16-Hughey Jennings has probably advanced the best req son yet offered for Frank Bakers dis Appointing showing. He says it is be- cause Baker no longer has Eddie Col lins hitting ahead of him and giving pitchers Something else besides Baker to worry, about.
 Baker is a great hitter.'' says Jen- nings, "but he misses Eddie Collins. Collins was a great. hitter himself, and he was getting on base about half the time he batted before Baker I know from the experience of my own club that when Collins got on he fore ed the pitcher to make a play for him on the bases That meant 3. pitchout or two to Baker before the pitcher started to work on the batter. Then he usually had to groove one to keep from walking Baker and Baker just naturally killed any good ball.
 ''But is different now. There is no one getting on ahead of Baker to worry the pitchers, so that they work on him at the start. He doesn't get the good ones to hit at. They keep the ball on the corners, and when they l get him in the hole they make him I hit at curves for easy putouts. [ have noticed that Baker is not getting his customary toe holds any more"

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1893-Johnny O'Leary, the western lightweight, born in Seattle, Wash. OLeary began fighting in 1910, and has since fought scores of good boys in the cities of the northwestern states and western Canada. Last November he gave Freddie Welsh a good twelve round argument in Winnipeg. In his
 first three years in the ring Johnny fought more than half a hundred econ- tests, and never got worse than a draw. His first long battle was fought in 1913, when he defeated Fighting Dick Hyland in 20 rounds at Sacra- mento. O'Leary was real Irish, and is feet, 6 3-4 inches in height. For sev- eral years he has been doing most of his Scrapping on the Canadian side of the international boundary, and fought his way to the top of the Dominion lightweight heap, claiming the cham piOnShip.

(By Wagner.)


 Harry Cornen announced today that he has purchased Gus Knorr's inter est in the Bridgeport baseball fran chise and will henceforth conduct the club alone. The decision was made yesterday after a conference in Nor walk, where both smen are engaged in business.
 Knorr had other interests which took most of his time and he did not feel as if he could afford to give the baseball venture the attention it need ed. He took over Cornen's interests in the Palace bowling alleys and the Palace theatre in Norwalk. In the future Knorr will give his time to thse ventures.
 Cornen got busy at once in an eff fort to strengthen the local club. He wired Rochester of the International league to send outfielder Blake, a youngster whoh as played in the In ternationa1 and New York State leagues. He batted .251 for Jersey City last season and .299 for Bingh ham- ton. Rochester promised to give Bridgeport the first chance at this man.
 Jack Dell, who was brought here to play first, has been released. Hhe didn't show enough batting or fielding skill to hold the job.
 Blake may not be here in time for tom orro<v's s game with Hartford but he is likely to arrive in time for the Lynn contest here Sunday.
 Whatever complaint may be made against the Bridgeport club it cannot be said that the pitchers are not de- | livering. Early in the season the twirling was terrible to behold but since a new crop of boxmen have been

imported the pitching has been high class. House and Reiger did remark ably well in the New London series In the last four games local pitchers have allowed only seven runs.
 Howie Baker was not puzzled by Bunny Hearne's slants The local third baseman buckled into the New London southpaw for a triple and sim gle. His error in the ninth was un- fortunate but wild throws are part of the game and cannot be held against a player.
 The Hartford team will be at New field park tomorrow. As the Bridge port club has been losing the close battles lately the fans figure it is about time for them to win one. Bill Mar tin or Lefty Dye will get the pitching job against the Senators.
 Hackensack. N. J., fans are so en- unused over the work of their fellow townsman, Harry Harper, pitching for Washington, that they plan a Harper Day. The ceremony will be held in New York, June 23 when Washington plays there. A big delegation from Hackensack will attend and Manager Griffith has promised to let Harper pitch.

TO RELIEVE CITY CONGESTION
Measures Encouraging "Back-to-
the-Land" Movement.

Two unusual measures have been
under consideration by the legislature
of Massachusetts, One provides for
an appropriation for homesteads or
small houses with plots of ground for
mechanics, laborers and other persons
in the suburbs of cities and towns. The
other bill authorizes any city to &C
ouire land for the purpose of teaching
agriculture to its inhabitants, includ-
ing schoolchildren, adults and family
groups.
The bills are really complementary.
Their purpose is to encourage the
"back-to-the-land" movement and to re-
lieve congested districts. They are
sponsored by the Massachusetts home
stead commission, which believes that
there is a strong disposition among
persons in congested city districts to
escape from these to pleasanter and
more healthful surroundings. The
commission, in fact, made a canvass of
500 typical tenement families. 1t dis
covered that no fewer than 1853 fami-
lies, with S96 children, were anxious
to move to suburban surroundings
where they could have garden and
till the soil. The chief difficulties in
their way, of course, are lack of CAPT
tai and lack of knowledge of garden
ing or farming. These lacks the two
bills in the legislature would seek to
supply.
