Soldier Bartfeld Is Victor In Fast Bout
 With Mike O'Dowd

New Yotk, June 29-Soldier Bart ODowd at the C1ermont Rink last night ,outpointfng the St. Paul mid dleweight in ten hard rounds. The bell saved Mike in the seventh round. Bartfeld battered O'Dowd about the body and finally reached him with a one-two punch to the jaw. O'DoWd wohb1ed badly and was in a very bad way, but Bartfie1d in his anxiety to score missed badly, and the bell final ly changed and gave O'Dowd a much needed respite.
 O'Dowd's left eye was cut in the fourth, but Mike retalated in the ninth by, cutting Bartfelds. The Soldier made the body his target throughout. 1
 The attack to the body seemed to weaken O'Dowd aconsid erably. Though the heavier man, O'Dowd was no match for the Soldier when they roughed it at close quarters. Bart fields body punching seemed to arouse the spectators for they 11ooted him evidently taking it for granted that Bartfield was hitting low.
 The more the crowd booed. the wild CT the Soldier got, yet he was doing only clean hitting. O'Dowd stood tc his guns without taking a back steL during the entire ten rounds. He played for the head for the mos' part, but his blows lacked the power that lurked behind Bartfeld's. BartheId started off by pi1ing up g lead in the first four rounds. O,Dowd came back in the fifth and sixth, but came to grief in the seventh, Ht l failed to recover from the effects o. 1 that round and was easily outpointet i in the last few periods.
 The Soldier weighed 143 pounds | O'Dowd 153

SUPERB SUPPORT HELPS SCHuPP TO
 CONQUER BRAVES

New York. June 29-Back to their native heath at the Polo Grounds came the Giants yesterday. occupying the perch de luxe in the National League race, and made their grip on the top rung a bit more certain by trimming the Boston Braves, 8 to 2. Back with the Giants came Manager John J. McGraW. proudly possessing a one-round decision over Umpire Bill Byron.
 When the impulsiye McGraw ap- peared on the coaching line at third base in the first inning he was loudly appIauded by the fans who inhabit that territory. While, walloping an umpire doesn't come under the forms of etiquette suggested by Lord Ches- terfie1d, there are those who evidently believe that 1t is the proper thing to do.
 A crowd of more than 8, 900 persons saw the Giants give unusually brilliant support to Ferdie schupp, the boy left t-hander, and because of this air tight support Ferdie was able to wfr his ninth victory of the season Art Fletcher was the lad whose wonderful l fielding enabled Schupp to deprive the Braves of hits up to the eighth inning. On two occasions when the Braves
 batsmen tore white-hot drives straight | through the fnf1eld Fletcher knocked them down with one-hand grabs and | threW runners out at first.s Herzoe l and Heinie Zim also covered ground
 like shadows and robbed Boston bat ters of hits
 For seven innings only 22 batsmen faced Schupp, and all died easy deaths with the exception of Konetc11y, the big Kreek, who got a pass in the sec ,ond and stole the middle station. Al the rest of the time the Braves wen
 out in one, two three order. Ther came the eighth, when Schupp los ! all his cunning and Boston unwrappee I a batting rally of a single and two
 doubles. which gave the Braves twt
 runs and placed the Giants in serious
 danger.
 Schupp was revived after he hat experienced his narrow escape in th' eighth. and came back in the nfntf
 and pitched so well that the Brave
 succumbed as readily as they did be
 fore his efghth~inning upheaya1 Ra
 gan pitched for Boston.

DURGIN'S HOMER
 WITH BASES FULL
 BEATS BRIDGEPORT
(By Wagner.)

After the Bridgeport players had 11ursed their winning streak along to five, they called all bets off yesterday and decided to let Springfield have a taste of victory. It was a stormy af- ternoon for Shanty House, who en- deavored ito keep the Green Sox in subjection. House was wild and when he did get 'em over the slaughter was terrible. The final score was Spring field 8, Bridgeport 3.
 It was Doc Durgin's home run with the bases ,choked that broke the eameTs back. House filled the bases in the third by passing Bradshaw, hit ting Rico and fumibling Kings blunt. Then Durgin slammed one to- the flag pole in center. By the time Corcoran recovered the ball, Durgin hadi chased three men home and had no trouble scoring himself. Just for good meas ure House allowed three more in the fourth but in the next three he es- caIped unharmed.
 Mayberry and his side arm delivery bothered Bridgeport in the early in nings. In the sixth, eighth and ninth they began to find the range but dou- ble plays rescued MayberTy from diff culties About the only pleasing fea- ture from local standpoint was the continued slugging of Hank Bracket. The 1ank oq1tf1elder made two hits again yesterday. Since his return to the lineup he has fbeen climbing aboard the pitchers with great enthusiasm. Martin and Priest did some good field ing
 Manager KricheH took House out in the seventh to let Joe Briggs do some pinch hitting and Joe hit into a double play. After Banks pitched the eighth Krichel1 batted for him and was hit by a pitched ball. Lennon fblanked the enemy in the ninth. The score:

RED Sox ARE GAME.

The Boston Red sox proved yester- day that they are not yet ready to curl up and quit. They sneaked up be- hind the Yankees and took both ends of double header, thereby making a gain on the White Sox, who lost to Detroit.
 At the time Babe Ruth was sus- pended for his assault upon Umpire Owens many thought the Red Sox would soon be hopelessly out of the race. The loss of such a sterling pitcher would be enough to stun any club but the Red Sox afe no ordinary club. They. are a game crowd and at their best when under fire. Last year they made a great rally on the last western trip and beat the White Sox in the deciding series after ii seemed as if Boston's chances were very poor. It would not surprise many critics to see the Red Sox over haul Chicago and beat them out in the final dash.

 Manager Kriche1l cut down the Bridgeport list of players by handing Outfelder Joe Briggs his release last night. Briggs slumped in batting re- gently and as Bracket, Finn and Cor coran are all hitting hard, the local pilot could find no place fir Briggs.

TWO REGIMENTS WILL GO
TO SAME cANToNMENsT
Not Believed First and Second
Will Be separated-Fine
Concentration Point

That some, point other than France
may be the ultimate destination of
North Dakota's' state troops is indi-
Gated by wire received from the war
department last night by Colonel
Frank White, commander OF the Sec
ond regiment, directing him to report
by wire to the commandant of the
Western division, at Palo Alta, Cal,
as soon as the inspection and muster
of his regiment is completed.
The fact that North Dakota troops
are to be concentrated on the Pacific
coast is believed by local military
men to be proof that they are to be
used in the eastern war theater in
stead of the western, as heretofore
anticipated. Some Of the boys are
wondering whether they will see Rus
sia, which is as much an ally of Amer
lea in this war as is France and Eng
land, but the land of the great bear
has been going it practically alone
and it had not until now entered
greatly into the thoughts of anyone
when considering field for the ex-
ploits OF American troops in the Euro
pean war zone. E- .-- s>,.

Palo Alta is within eight miles of
Leland Stanford university, in one Of
the most beautiful and picturesque
sections of California, and is consid-
cred by military lncn one of the finest:
concentration camp sites in America.
1t is, generally regarded, for northern
troops, far superior to Deming, N. NJ,
which had heretofore been considered
as the conc qcentration camp site for
North Dakota .'.e -, T. r.. - -

Some time ago North Dakota was
detached from the Western depart
ment and attached to the Central.
Later adyices came that North Dakota
was again with the Western, and still
later it was second time assigned
to the Central. These most recent in
structions, coming within few weeks,
if not days, prior to the departure Of
North Dakota troops for concentra-
tion camp are regarded final. And
while none of the military heads of

subject, there is a general impression
that the Western department will
send its troops to some point other
than France, where they may share
in the campaign on the east front.
First, Also.
Word was received this morning
from Col John l. Fraine Of Grafton,
commander Of the First regiment,
that Instructions received by him
were the same as those of
Colonel White. Tt is not regarded as
probable that the two North Dakota
regiments will be separated, and be-
fore they, leave American soil they
may be brigaded by the addition of
Third regiment, made up of North
Dakota's draft quotas.
