CURRY FOR HARTFORD.
Senators Effect Deal With Neal Ball
 for Former Holyoker.

Bridgeport, June 27.-The Bridge port club announced last night that Jimmy Curry has been sent to Hart ford, completing deal which has been pending for the past week. The Hartford management has been anX- ious to get Curry to complete its in field and offered Bridgeport an out fielder in exchange. Curry has been dissatisfied in Bridgeport because he was played in the outf1eld instead Of at second, his regular position. It Is understood Hartford will give Dug gan in trade for Curry.
 Outfielder Steve Manning was re- leased by Bridgeport yesterday. He was turned over to Balls team by New London. Blake, secured from Buffalo, replaces Manning, Catcher Murphy, former Federal leaguer, has by been signed by the local club and O'Connor let out. Murphy was re- gently released by New Haven.

SPIRES IS NAMED
CIarkin Chooses Third Baseman to Succeed Heinie Wagner As Leader of Hartford Team.

Hartford, June 27.-George Spires, the third baseman of the Hartford club of the Eastern league, was ap- pointed manager of the senators last night by Owner James H. Clarkin, to succeed Heinie Wagner, who was re- leased one week ago. Since the re- lease of Wagner, the team has been without a real head, though Spires has been acting as captain the same post that he hold while Wagner was in the hospital a few weeks ago through a boil on his leg.
 Spires has done excellent work with the senators as a player, and it was his success with the team when Man ager Wagner was sick, together with the evident change in the work of the club under Spires after Wagner had been discharged, that led Clarkin to make him manager. Since Wag" ner's dismissal there have been nu- merous applicants for the place of pilot but none of them were con- sidered seriously except Catcher Jack litsch, formerly of the majors and the International league. who came here yesterday, but for some reason or other did not catch on with the club. He was considered mainly be- cause of OConnor's determination to leave the club as soon as Clarkin can get another first-string catcher.
 Hartford's new manager was bought from the Lowell club of the Eastern league shortly after the sen ators went north on their first trip away from home. He was let out by Lowell at that time as they already had Harry Lord as third baseman and did not need him. He has been the most consistent player, both in the field and at the bat of the entire Hart ford club.

Nick's record in that league and his work the past spring for the Yankees prove rather conclusively Magee was right. Nick was rather wild in the spring. Donovan was patient with him and waited awhile before asking the southpaw to take his regular turn in the box. Since his first start Gull Top has been the sensation of the American league. He is leading the leagues hurlers now He has done more than any one to keep the Yank- ees at the front.

Alexander vS. Johnson.


 Nineteen-sixteen so far belongs to Grover Cleveland Alexander above his great rival, Walter Johnson. The Philly premier has won IA games and lost for an average of SPA. He is On his way to one of the greatest years he has ever known-and he has known his share of the great ones. Walter Johnson has been up against a tougher break. The Idaho Blizzard has won 10 games and lost only ', which shows an unusual lapse in his case The big star .s still a great pitcher. But so far 1916 doesn't give promise of being one of his finest years.
 One Answer. Why all this jubilee about When Dillon meets Moran? Why all this bally hip-hoo-ray Amid the fighting clan? The answer is a simple one Bereft of any trick, For Dillon has the wallop and Moran has got the kick.
 It may be that Dillon will upset Moran and lond most of the glory. But in the bleak law of the game 1t isn't often that a good little man can beat a good big one.
 The evil that men do lives after them" wrote Shakespeare, who, as he wrote it, was probably still sore at some outf1elder's rank huff with the winning run on third.
 Further Proof Being The five long butts we saw go down Hold a forgotten tryst, AS we recall, with many a frown, The short one that we missed.

Poems You May Care for. A Troop of the Guard.

X Troop of the Guard.
 (By Herman Hagedorn, Jr.D There's a trampling of hoofs in the
 busy street; There's a clanking of sabres on floor
 and stair;
 There's a sound / of restless, hurrying
 feet,
 Of voices that whisper, of lips that
 entreat,
 Will they live, will they die, will they
 strive, will they dare? The houses are garlapded, flags
 f1utter gay, For a troop of the Guard rides forth
 today.
 Oh, the troopers will ride and their
 hearts will leap, When it's shoulder to shoulder and
 friend to friend But it's some to the pinnacle-some
 to the deep And some in the glow of their
 strength to sleep. But for all it's a fight to the tales
 far end;
 And it's each to his goal, nor turn nor
 sway,
 W nen a troop or the Guard rides
 forth today.
 The dawn is upon us, the pale light speeds,
 To the zenith with glamour and golden dart; On, up! Boot and saddles. Give spurs to your steeds. There's city belea guered that cries
 for mems deeds With the pain of the world in it's
 cavernous heart. Ours be the triumph, Humanity
 calls;
 Life's not dream in the clover On to the walls, on to the walls, On to the walls and over!
 Yale is looking for new start against Harvard next fall-and Yale needs it. The Crimson triumph has as 8 triumph can be. On land and water Yale has found no balm left in her Gilead of woe The New Lon don episode was the concluding wallop. The sole chance for any Eli buoyancy now remains in the hope that Tad Jones, Mike Sweeney and Cupid Black may open a new regime next fall that will not be quite as crimson-tinted as the one that has just come to close. Showing Again the Uncertainty, Etc. There were no blazing headlines nor uncouth cheers around last winter when it was announced that the Tanks had purchased Nick Gull Top, the Fed southpaw The com 1nent thereon was well-nigh inaudible Yet today Nick is the sole pitcher in either big league who has not been beaten. He has put his wares on display against almost every club in the circuit, but no one has yet broken down his guard.
 Cullop has what Hughey Jennings says Is enough, and that is everything. He has a blast of speed and one of the quickest drops in the profession His control is f1awless and few wiser pitchers ever faced the menacing mace. He isn't likely to go through the season unbeaten, but when he loses the odds are II to 2 that it will not be his fault.
 Colonel Charles Dryden has the right idea. Heinie Zimmerman should stay down in: the cellar where he can't very well fall upstairs.
