ONE BAD INNING Z
 BEATS BRIDGEPORT

Springfield, May 27-The Ponies were able to spot Bridgeport pair of runs yesterday at League park and finish two runs ahead of the Hust1ers. It was the third straight victory for Flynn's men in as many days over the same club. If Bridgeport has had any intentions of getting out of last place rut the time, place and club to beat has not yet been picked. Even a brand new pitcher, some fairly strong hitting and steady fielding for the most part didn't turn the trick for the Hustlers yesterday. The Ponies did their part by giving Hal Justin good support, and when the break came in the third inning they made the most of it. The final ta1lies were 4 and 3.
 Riconda' huff in the first inning cost the Ponies a, run at the start. Ball had singled with two down and was caught off first, but the Pony short stop muffed the throw from Flynn and Ball scored a moment later on Ode1Ps single. A base on balls gave the. Hustlers their start for a second counter in the second. Thompson's infeld single, Whalen's sacrifice and an infield out on Smith, allowing Hoffman to make the circuit.
 Then came the third and the Ponies cinched the game right there. Justin started the mess with a single to short, Hickey followed with, another single just out of Balls reach, and Booe's bunt, which he beat out, filled the sacks.Z Parks hit to ball, who got Booe at second, but Justin scored. Hammond hit to short and forced Parks, but it was Hickey who came in this time. Hammond stole second and Flynn was passed and the second baseman rode home on Lows single back of first base. Flynn went to third on the hit and scored when Dye uncoiled a wild pitch. Riconda finally ended the inning with a fly to Wha1en.%
 Justin pulled himself out of a big hole in the seventh. The inning started with Whalen and Smith pick ing up singles. Dyne famed, but a pass to Gaudette filled the sacks. Jus tin then settled down. Deininger's s long drive to Hickey gave Whalen a chance to score. but Balls best was a high fly to Low. Score:,

M'AULIFFE AND WILSON BATTLE
 TO GOOD DRAW
(By WagneP.)

Although at times the fans couldn't tell whether he was peppermint or wintergreen, Red Gap Wilson, the Beechnut Boy, kept his flavor for IS rounds at the Casino last night. In the early sessions it looked as if Young McAuIiffe might roll the Beechnut Boy into a little ball and stick him on the bottom of a chair to be chewed another day. But the chewing gum youngster refused to be discarded for a fresh stick and earned a draw with McAuliffe.
 The East Bridgeport youngster was not in his usual good form He didn't look right when he entered the ring and during the entire bout there were only few occasions when he display ed flashes of his former pepper. It is said that he had not been feeling well lately and had not been able to go through his usual hard training.
 In the first half of the fight Nc AuIiffe was able to outpoint Wilson, even though it was plainly evident that he was missing many openings But as the boxers swung into the final rounds McAuliffe appeared to lose his effectiveness. Wilson kept boring inA He jabbed Mac frequently in the face and cut the East Bridgeporter, a,l- though Mac was not in danger at any time. Wilson also landed many body blows.
 The Beechnut Boy has a freak style. He does a great deal of lodging and bobbing his head and McAuIiffe might have inflicted some damage if he had unloaded a few uppercuts. Most of Wilson's swings were brought up from the floor and Mae generally knew what to expect. The East Bridgeport CT made a whirfwind finish in the 18th but Wilson's showing, in the previous sessions entitled him to a draw.
 The opening bout gave Louis Ba- gash and Kid Ross of this city a chance to show their wares Bagash had a slight advantage at the end of the fourth round. The battle royal was joke but. the spectators were the victims. It will be better for box ing in this city if promoters stick to the regular program and lay off these comedy feature in future shows
 Tommy Nelson of Port Chester, N Y-, failed to appear foE his bout with Larry Williams so this event was not put on! The crowd was entitled to roar and it did If the main bout hadn't provided excitement there would, have been a mob scene around the box office. There was a gooF sized crowd on hand.

FAVOR TIGERS
 TO WIN CREW k
 RACE IN ITHACA

Ithaca, N. r., May 27-Wfth every indication of fine weather and the largest crowd that has ever witnessed a regatta on Cayuga Lake, the Cornell, Princeton and Yale Varsity and fresh man crews are ready for the big con test on Cayuga Lake this afternoon.
 On the basis of previous perform ances experts favor the Tigers in the Varsity contest, but little money was wagered tonight. It had been re- ported that large rolls of Yale money were waiting to be placed. but thus far the Eli cash has not shown.
 Coach Courtney was considering sending the third Cornell Varsity crew against Princeton and Yale in the Varsity race. This is not surpris- ing, as the third combination is the fastest ofthe Red and White crews for the short course. The first Var sity probably may be saved for the Poughkeepsie regatta, it being essen tally four-mile crew.
 The Princeton crew, in practice to- day, made favorable impression, rowing with smoothness and power. The Yale crew seemed strong and got speed out of the shell today. The Blue is heavier than either Cornell or Princeton, and in smooth water is likely to be dangerous.

In the office of the Bridgeport club there is a huge pile of telegrams, the contents of which show that Owners >Cornen and Knorr are making every effort~to bolster up the pitching de- partment of the local team. The telegraph companies are making some easy money and before another week has passed the magnates hope to have a regular twir1ing staff.
 Manager Ball said today that he signed a. pitcher named Ross yester- day in Springfield. This youngster has been pitching Saturday gam es around Boston and has been turning in so many one and two hit contests that his work has attracted great at tention. He hasn't lost a game in over two years. He is a. big boy and several wise baseball men told Man ager Ball to grab him. Ross will re- port to the club in Hartford next Thursday.
 According to the local manager Pitcher Dye made a god impression in Springfield yesterday. Until yes terday he had not pitched in three weeks as the Toronto club was carry ing an army of hurlers.S In the inn ing Springfield made four runs. only being scratches Tomorrow Lynn comes here and Bill Martin may pitch The game will be called at 3:15.
 The Springfield Union says: Gus Knorr. one of the owners of the Bridgeport club, was spectator at yesterday's> game at League Park. T don't know what the matter is," was his comment. "All I know is that we are getting all the breaks against us. But I am going to have a ball club in Bridgeport The fans have been using us altogether too we'll, and we'll get players right along until we secure a winning combination"
 ''Diamond' Dye. the new Bridgeport pitcher, was slightly faded after the game with Springfield yesterday. But

Phil Bloom Beats
 Vic Moran With Ease

New York. May 27-Vic Moran, the. New Orleans lightweight, who arrived in this city several weeks ago with the reputation of having ability and being a heavy hitter, showed last night that, although he is able to withstand punishment, he still has considerable to learn about the box ing game before he can be seriously considered as championship con tender.
 He boxed Phil Bloom. the Brooklyn lightweight, in the feature bout of 10 rounds at the Harlem Sporting club. 1s5th street and Madison avenue. last night, and in eight of the ses- sions Bloom so far outclassed his op- ponent as to leave no doubt of the formers superiority.

MIKE GIBBONS
 SIGNS TO TAKE
 ON JACK DILLON

New York. May 27-Harry Pollok, manager of the Washington Park Sporting club, signed Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul middleweight;/ yesterday to box ten rounds with Jack Dillon, the so-ca1led man-ki1ler of Indiana polls, some time in the latter part of June. Dillon has not yet agreed to box Gibbons, but Pollok is practically certain that the Indianapolis man will accept his terms. The local promoter had been trying to match Dillon with Frank Moran, but has abandoned his efforts.

Red WhaIen the lively Bridgeport shortstop, yesterday got his first hit since he joined the club. He has played in three games so it is trifle early to talk about what he can do with the ash furniture.
 Benny Kauff is still bad on the bases, even if he is with the Giants He was twice caught off first yester- day. He was trying to work a double steal and broke away from the bag before the man on third got ready to dash for the plate.
 It seems strange to see Yale and Princeton crews competing with Ger nell at Ithaca. The Blue and Tiger oarsmen usually don't go that far north to get their aquatic exercise. After the race this afternoon their partisans will be able to tell whether the northern climate has hampered the boys.
 the Yankees against the Red Sox yes terday and as his support was better than usual he didn't get credit for a defeat. ShaWkey, who pitched the last two innings, will be held responsible for the extra inning victory the Yan- kees finally gained
 They are hopeful cusses in Wash ington and Cleveland. They actually believe their teams are in line for the pennant. They may be down near the end of the line at the finish.
