Ryan A. 0. Arranges . Swell Show
 for Next Monday With Burns and
 Shubert the Topnotchers.
 1. Next Monday night the Ryan A. C.. offers in New Haven fight card a. the Arena that appears to be brim full of action. Every bout on the card sticks out as real, old fashion ed fight and that's what the fans of New Haven and about the state al- ways like. There should be activity enough next Monday night to last the fans for while and of the three bouts offered, every one seems like a corker.
 Frankie Burns and Al shubert are the ring artists in the principal bout of the evening and when two such bantamweights clash at 1zO pounds at the ringside and with so much at stake, there is bound to be something doing every minute they are at work. Fans from all over the state will no doubt be on hand to take in this at- traction as they know the match Is worth going a long way. to see. It has been some time since a state club matched two such boys and offered such g. high class match for the ap- pr6val of the fans.
 Charlie Bergen and Red Allen, in the ten-round semi-fanal. have the fans about the state on edge and this bout should provide plenty of fireworks and keep the onlookers in terested from start to finish. Bergen never was in better shape and Allen is said to be ready to put up a hard battle.
 The nreliminary bout of the show brings together Joe -Currie and Frank ie Rrindisi, two New Haven feather weights, who are at swords points and who should make things decided ly interesting for six rounds or less. They are, botM hustlers and local fana have wanted to see them get at each other for some time.

Dodgers Beat Reds.

Brooklyn. May 18.-An eighth in-' ming rally was staged in Flatbush yes- terday. It proved just as effective as the proverbial ninth inning rally. Charles Edward Casey Stengel turned what appeared to be sure victory for the Reds into triumph for the Brooklyn Dodgers in this hitherto un- sung eighth frame by a double to the fence in left center with the bases all occupied.
 This timely blow scored three run ners and put the champions of the National League one run to the right side on the scorers ledger. The Dodgers finally won the game by a score of 13 to 10.
 The Reds were going along most swimmingly until the modern Casey failed to fan in the great pinch. Matty's men were in the lead by a score of 10 to 8 when Casey did 1t. The visitors had in the meantime their big run-gathering session, the fifth when six Redlegs crossed the plate.

SCHUPP SHUTS OFF CARDINALS MARCH
Youthful Southside FineG Has Mound City Team at His Mercy

New York. May 1S.-It was as easy for the Giants to SOW hits and reap runs on the Polo Grounds yesterday as it was for Mark Twain to be funny. All the Harlem players were obliged to do was to hold their slapsticks in front of pitched halls and resounding
 blows to the outfield invariably fol- lowed. Sixteen Gotham hits for . total of twenty-two bases took some of the pep. even out of the militant Cardinals and enabled the Giants to save the last game from the wreckaGe of the St. Louis series. The McGraw men won by the 1opsided verdict of
 10 to 2. Had few of those extra hits and runs been injected into the
 earlier games of the set the Cubs would not be in the lead at this mo- ment.
 Miller Huggins saved his mos: suc- cessful pitcher, big Muley Watson for the last game of the series. He held him in reserve to oppose the boy won-
 der, Ferdie Schupp. However. the
 Giants extracted the kick from che mule before an out was recorded in
 the second inning. Holke's homer
 with Peterkin Kilduff on base was the
 direct reason for Watson's early de-. parture. Huggins switched to lefthander. George Pierce once tried by Mc0raw and for several years a member of the Cubs. But it was hitting day for. the Giants and they butchered all
 corners. Pierce lasted until the fe.h,
 and a youth named North was tho last victim. By this time the Giant, batting storm had blown into a Euf- ricane, and North got the full force of 1 it. He was battered up even more than his predecessors. ', The score:

RETAIL PRICE
OF PORK GOES UP
With Hogs Selling at Sl445
All Cuts Are Advanced,
CANNED GOODS MAY GO UP
GroCerS Predict Lower Price
for Potatoes,

Housewives prepare.
Grocers and jobbers stated today that
canned goods would be higher next tall
than ever. Many kinds of canned goods
will take a Jump upward just as soon
as the supplies on their shelves arc re
plenished
Grocers said they we're now ordering
their supply Of canned goods for DE
livery next fall, as was the custom 10
do in the spring OF the year For these
goods they said they we're required 20
pay more than the present retail prices,
which would mean that all article, oi
food in cans would raise in price 10
the consumer. GroccrS would give no
other encouragement TO the housewife
than that they had only had taste OF
the prices that would prevail next TALL
and winter.
Pork Prices Up.
With hogs selling yesterday at Sl+4S
per hundred pounds, all cuts oi pork
are due to take another big Jump up
ward Chops are selling this morning
At the leading retail meat markets IN
this city at 20 cents, pork steak IS cents.
pork shoulder Is cents, fresh pork ham
70 cents, pork sausage Is cents, boiled
ham 50 cents and spare ribs at % cents,
= Jump Of Is percent during the past
month and a raise OF to 7 percent IN
the past week Butthcrs said they could
hardly keep in touch with the rapid in
crease in prices Of meat They stated
their profits were very small, and many
times they lost money on certain cuts
before they discovered the price would
have 10 be raised il they would break
even or make profit.
Grocers and produce men, however
gave some encouragement in discussing
the situation, They promised an even
greater drop in potatoes, cabbage
onions, eggs and perhaps butter IN the
near future Fresh vegetables. they
said, would necessarily become cheaper
on account OF the increased supplies
that would come on the mArke, from
this time until the end OF the growing
season in the fall.
Supplies on Hand.
Leading grocers in the city asserted
yesterday that had it not been for the
large supplies grooeN had placed or the
shelves when the prices were reasonable
the housewife would be compelled 70
pay more for canned goods than the
prices now prevailing. They stated they
had stood as a buffer between the con
sumner and the jobber heretofore. bu
that higher prices must he charged
