LARRY DOYLE'S
 GREAT START

"I,arruptng Larry Doyle, the smashing crashing, dashing second baesenan of the Giants begins his tenth wear with that well known ball clup .o-day, as it was on June z9, 1SOf' that he was sold to McGraw by the Springheld, H., club of the Three-1 League Larry is a native of the suck CT State and will be thirty years old next month He was a coal miner in his youthful days, but at elghteen ne landed a job with the Mattoon, Ill., club and in 1907 he was hired by
 SDrinehe1d. The miner was the sen
 sation of the Three-I circuit and he hadn't been wearing the livery of the Illinois capital many weeks when the manager of the club began to receive bids from the big league teams. There was quite bit of competition for Lar rvs services, and the pringfeld> man
 agement boosted the market quota tions on ball-playing coal miners to
 S45OO before the future captain of the
 Giants was knocked down to the New
 York club.
 Doyle joined the Giants immediate ly and McGraw assigned him to second
 base. In the minors Larry had near
 Iy always played third and at first he wasn't remarkably proficient at second,
 while the unaccustomed crowds and
 the fact that he was on trial for his
 big league life made him nervous and anXlOuS. AS a result H1dny O1 Lh0 SA-
 perts" banned him and asserted that
 he wouldn't do. McGraw held a diff ferent idea; however and Larry was
 back in the lineup when the 1908
 season opened. In the. subsequent fes- tivities Larry proved that McGraw had
 the right hunch, for he helded like a demon ranking third in the league, and batted .30S. Since then his bat ting mark has ranged from -26O in 1914 to 1880 in 1912. Last year, with
 an average of .320, Larry was the pre-
 nier batsman of the National League, and this year he has been walloping
 the pill with the best of them. Doyle is the first member of the Giants to win the batting honors of the league in twenty years. It is true that he won the honor by the smallest aver age in the history of the game.
 Larruping Larry has the shoulders of a heavyweight pugilist and when he lands the pellet, which is fre-
 quent, the said sphere is due to go on a long journey. When McGraw took charge of Larry's fortunes nine years ago the minor had little knowledge of batting tactics, but he had a quick eye
 and great power, and it didn't take 8
 great deal of coaching to develop a batting style that gets results. There
 can smash the ball harder than Doyle The pitchers have never been able to get his goat, and he stands right up 1 to the plate and looks 'em over with
 an eagle eye. The fear of getting

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1So8-Tom Sharkey knocked out Gus Ruhlin in 1st round at Coney Isl- and. This was one of the briefest bouts ever fought between top-notch b beavyweights, and was the first of the three memorable battles between the Irish sailor and the Akron giant. Sharkey's speedy victory made Gus pretty peevish and he thirsted for re- venge upon the rugged, hard-h hitting Hibernian sailorman. His chance came just two years later, when on a June day in 1900 the two gladiators again faced each other in a ring pitch ed at Coney Island. This time Gus gave Tom as good as he sent and a little bit more and at the end of Is rounds of hard s1ugging the referee raised RuhIin's hand in token of vic tory. This time it was Toms turn to be peevish, and he was eager for an- otker whack at Gus. It was after another interval of just two years, on a June day in 1902, that the third ses- sion was staged. Gus and Tom had crossed the pond for this meeting, and the bout was pulled off in London. The English fans got a run for their mon ey, but in the 11th chapter Sharkey had enough and Ruhlin was declared the victor.

beaned has ruined many promising young batters, but Larry doesn't know what that fear means. There are times when Larry appears to swing wildly, and the fans hop on him and accuse him of myopia and strasmus. As a matter of fact, however, Doyle is one of the coolest baters and most patient walters in the business. When one of his awful slams misses it makes him look foolish, but when he con- meets it is the twriler who 1oks foolish. He may miss quite a, few wide curves, but almost anything else, low or high, inside or outside, looks good to him. He has a tendency to pull off his hits in clusters, and he got four or more hits in more games last year than any other player in the league.
 It was Dick Kinsella who recom- mended Doyle to McGraw back in 1907, and the Giant leader owes a debt of gratitude to the sinister one. Larry came high for a lad with such limited minor league experience, but his purchase was one of the best buys McGraw ever made. And old Muggsy has picked up quite a lot of good things on the bargain counter during his 4n agerial days.

SHAREHOLDERS

Double Tracking of East Broadway Soon To Be
 Accomplished.
Especial to The Farmer.)


 Stratford June 29.-Despite several years of long and strenuous opposi- tion by the residents of East Broad way, that thoroughfare will be double tracked from Main street to Blake man place. Word was received yes- terday by the selectmen from the State Highway department stating that they have already granted the Connecticut Go. the privilege of laying double tracks on that street. The Connecticut Go. will also lay cross over on Main street in front of the Congregational church.
 The expense of laying the double tracks will be entirely paid by the Connecticut Go. The width of the thoroughfare between curbS on East Broadway is to be 34 feet when the double tracking is completed. This entire area will be paved with a con- crete pavement. All expenses incident to the construction of paving, setting back and rebuilding of curbs on the street and the removal of trees will also be paid by the company. The work will be under the supervision of the State Highway department.
 Charles H. Chapman, superintendent of the Conn. Go. of Bridgeport, said today that work would begin immedi- ately so that traffic on that thorough fare would be relieved.
 The Selectmen of the town have posted notice of a public hearing Sat urday evening at o'clock at the town hall on the following proposed ordt- nance: 2
 First, no vehicles of any descrip-
 'ton shall be allowed to stand
 across the head of any intersecting
 street or streets within the town.
 Second, the selectmen may place
 parking signs regulating parking
 of vehicles on the streets within
 the first taxation district as they
 deem wise.
 Third, every person violating
 either section of tho above men
 toned shall be subject to a, fine of
 $25 for each Offense.
 At the hearing also the petition of the Connectiut Go. to lay a cross-over on Barnum avenue at King Highway will also be considered.
 The largest amount of money ever turned into the town treasury from the Stratford town court was during the present month. The sum of $401 50 was given to Town Treasurer Walter S. Curtis. Nineteen cases were tried before Judge Howard M. Curtis. Of these were for frequenting a, disor- derly house; 5, breach of the peace; 3, 9eckless driving; one, keping a house of ill-fame; one. manslaughter; one, theft; and one selling liquor without a license.

.LORDSHIP READY FOR BIG OPENING
 ON JULY FOURTH
Bathing Houses Now Doing Business-Many New At
 fractions.

Speaking of Preparedness" there is no amusement resort in this part of the country better prepared to en- certain the public than Lordship
 With the extra battery of bath houses in readiness there are over 300 individual houses now awaiting public approval, the pavilion has been thoroughly renovated and the beach combed and recombed until it is the finest on the Sound shore. The bath houses are now open daily but the big day, in fact, the formal open ing, will be Fourth of July. On the same day. the new dancing pavilion will be completed and thrown open to the public under the direction of Pro lessor Guilty, who needs no introduce ton to the local people.
 Fhen,to there is the tent city with it's great dining tent 36x86 feet, under the able management of MT Bush, who has catered to the wants of YaIesians for many years. MT. Bush states that he is thoroughly prepared to handle record crowds on the Fourth. in fact he's ready now. In the big dining tent anything from frankfurter to a lobster may be pro cured at popular prices. Shore din- ners will be a, speciality.
 Unfortunately the new big pay-as- you-enter cars for the Lordship troll
 
 possible that they will be in opera ton for Independence Day; the curve and cross-over for Stratford and Hol-. lister avenues have been received af- ter a series of delays all spring, and the extension at the Shore end is about completed, hence it will not be many days before the big yellow cars with 'Lordship'' on the side, will thunder along Stratford avenue to the railroad station conveying residents to and from their daily toll for picke1.
 All in all, Lordship is Bridgeport's most exclusive and yet most accessible shore resort One of the rare fea lures of the beach is the fact that even at low tide there is five feet or water at the float, hence the slogan "It's always high tide at Lordship''
 During the past 10 days Lordship Beach has been the scene of no less than nine picnics and outings and many more are booked for July and August. The LordsEip Company has naagnanin ous1y permitted Sunday schools and other organizations to hold their outings free of charge Family basket parties also are well comed.
 Camp sites may be rented at a nom ina1 figure. Organizations contemp1at- ing clambakes will do we'll to ring up 269O-S and talk with Ernest P. Lyon general manager.
