LEvINSKY OPENS
 GYM AND LARGE
 CROWD ATTENDS

An suspicious opening being gem erally regarded as a happy augury of future success it is safe to assume that that Battling Lexinskys new gymnasium, in Newfield avenue, is an institution which has come to stay in Bridgeport and will enjoy a prosper ous career. The gymnasium was for mally opened to the public last night and a galaxy of pugilistic and wrest- ling stars entertained the guests of the evening. In the audience were many city officials and business men of this city who enjoyed the program of bouts
 Fistic stars of the past and present showed their adeptness in boxing, while Terry Lee, the popular referee, omciated. A bout between the two younger brothers of Req Allen, so pleased the fans that they were show: cred with silver as they left the ring.
 Johnny Sharp and Young Cohen then donned the gloves, followed. by Harlem Tommy Murphy and tRed'' Allen. Murphy still possesses the uppercut that made him famous, though lacking the stamins to box fast for more than 8 short period. Billy Richards before doing his stunt with Charley Pitts sang song, just to prove his versatility. Young Wag- ner, who has earned the sobriquet of s'The Carnival King" wrestled five minutes with his partner, each suc- ceedtng in scraping considerable skin off their bodies, without coming to any definite conclusion.
 Young Eggers and Phil Bloom, the Weber and Fields team of the pugil- istic world, then entertained those as- sembled. Needless to say their bur 1esque made 8 hit. Joe Smith, trainer, manager and monologue artist, was then called upon to deliver his star declamation,y -'The Kanaka Kids Last Fight. :. E. but demurred and on plead ing hoarseness was excused.
 His protege, Young McMahon, box ed three rounds with Levinsgy and the latter then took on his sparring part ner. Following this exhibition Le-s vinslzy for the benefit of his future physical culture pupils, demonstrated how those suffering from obesity might reduce weight. It is question able. however, if any rotund indf- tvidual could ever succeed in trying
 himself into the Gordian knots Le- vinsky succeeded in making of his
 body. As for the gymnasium itself, ! it is a model of up-to-dateness, with
 modern shower baths and other facili- ties.

LEAR'S CATCH SAVES GAME
 's FOR OUR BOYS
(By. Wagner)

That story about John McGraw hit ting the umpire in the puss caused Gloomy Gus Gardella to let off a lot of steam at Newfield park yesterday. Before the spaghetti swallower was sent to the blockhouse the riot call was sounded. Manager Jim McGin- ley of Worcester was mauled by a cop and the players yielded their trusty bats to hold back the excited bleach critics.
 It was in the third inning that the fracas happened. Gardel1a claimed he had caught Bracket. off third on a throw from the catcher but Um- pire Tex Erwin ruled otherwise Gar della, with his cap sidewise on his head, gal1oped in from third, and tried to climb aboard the umpire. When he threatened to punch Erwin, the lat ter decided Gardella was through for the day. Gardella at first refused to go and then the fun started.
 After Gardella's departure Murray was moved from second to third, Conway went from right field to sec- ond and Pitcher Lindstrom took the right field job. The Boosters kept right after Bridgeport and the locals had a hard time winning by to B.. Lennon, the Niagara university pitcher, went the distance for Bridge port. He was wild in the early inn ings but steadied after the third. Good support pulled him out of sew eral holes and a wild throw by. Dein- finger in the ninth gave, the visitors a run. They had the tieing run on sec ond with two out when FeWster hit a liner toward left. King Lear jumped a1oft and pulled down the ball as it was sailing over his head. It was a great finish to a great game. Keller did the pitching for Wor- cester and was slammed for II hits. Martin leading with three blows. Bracket, Finn and Corcoran also did timely clouting. Poor base running kept the local score down. Eleven hits and seven passes yielded only four runs. With the score to in the seventh Bracket, Corcoran, Finn and Lear singled in succession, pro- ducing two runs. The score:

 Kauff scored again in the sixth, and it was the winner. He got first on Lu{Ierds' sfllmbfe, went to second on Zin1's neat sacrifice bunt and home on RobertsoRs two-bagger.
 The second game was thriller. and was featured by hard hitting. sen- sational fielding and much poor pitch ing. The Phillies gained a lead of three runs in the getaway frame, but fourth, and gained a lead of two runs in the sixth. The score was dead locked by the Phillies in the eighth.

FRANK GOTCH AND PARR MET IN FINE
 WRESTLING BOUT

Frank Gotch has defeated a lot of good men in his long career. but per haps the hardest battle he ever fought was that against Jim Parr, the English catch-as- -catch-ca wrestler, at Buffalo 13 years ago today. After the bout the Iowa farmer declared that Parr was the speediest and most scientific rough and tumble wrestler he had ever met. A big crowd gath cred in Buffalo to see the combat, and hundreds of wrestling fans from Can ada were present to o-.eer the British CT. Gotch had the advantage of weight by about a dozen pounds, and he needed it, together with all his strength and cleverness in the en- gagement with the Englishman, who had been victorious in a thousand bouts on the mat.
 Parr mixed things from the very start He tried his famous scissors hold, which had brought him victory so often, but every time he found him. self flying over Gotch's head. It was 50 minutes of furious combat before Parr was pinned to the mat by a half Nelson and a, toe hold. Then they went at it again. Parr, with unbroken spirit, rushed the American, who had to give ground.
 He sent Gotch to the mat but was unable to hold him there. Th.4 next minute Gotch was on top and. Parr down on the mat. A scissors to the body, after 28 minutes, W, n the vic tory for the American. Parr was a thorough sportsman and made no ex- cuses, admitting that the best man had won. His game, clever battle and his attitude in defeat won the re- spect of the entire audience, and the cheers and applause were as much for the vanauishe& as they were for the victor.

Instead of trying to smooth things over Mckinley sassed Policeman Clark and was given a lit tie shaking by the cop.

 The Springfield club will go to the
 mat with Bridgeport again tomorrow have been entirely rebuilt and are in good shape now as their victory yes- terday over New Haven indicates. Manager Krichell will probably use Dug Smith or Gingras on the mound.
 Hank Bracket made 8 play in the seventh that probably saved the game. With sPotteiger on first, Fewster sin gled to left. Potteiger made a bluff to continue to third but, Bracket sud- denly whipped the ball to second and the Worcester player was nipped off the bag.
 Shortstop Bill Martin made good play in the third when he scooped Gardella's grounder and got his man at first by step.
 The University of Michigan has decided to resume athletics in. the fall. A percentage of the profits from football games will be turned over to the Red Cross.
 Manager Pat, Moran of the Phil lies has sent Outfielder Claude Coop CT to Louisville of the American as- sociation. He was formerly, with the Giants but jumped to the Federals and never had any luck since. The Phillies have also farmed Infielder McGaffigan to Richmond of the In ternational league.

MAY SUSPEND DEvfNE.

Catcher Devine of New Haven, is likely to draw a suspension. from President O'Neil of the Eastern league as a. result of his fight with Shortstop Move of Springfield during the Springfeld-New Haven game. at Savin Rock. yesterday. Devine was warn ed by O'Neil about a month ago that he must curb his temper but only two weeks ago the New Haven firebrand was fined $10 for his actions in a game in Springfield. Such players as Devine and Gardella, of Worcester should be severely dealt with by O'Neil It is hard enough to get the fans to turn out for minor league ball this season without having the sport marred by srowdyism. If these play CTS can't behave like regular human beings, they should be driven out of the league. 1
