HURT AS LOCAL
TEAM is BEATEN

Lawrence, June IA series OF mis-
fortunes accounted for Br1dgeports
defeat at the hands of Lawrence here
yesterday by to 2. Pitcher Shanty
House, who made his 1917 debut, was
booming along at top speed when he
was hit in the face by a. grounder and
had to quit. That was in the fifth and
up to that time House held Lawrence
to one hit and no runs. LaSche's
grounder took a bad bound in the fifth
and struck House in the eye. The eye
began to swell and House had 10 leave
the game. He was succeeded by
Banks who lasted until the seventh
when Lawrence made two runs. Gin
gras worked the last two sessions, al
lowing one tally. Press did the hurl-
ing for Lawrence and bothered Bridge
port considerably. The Americans got
only six hits.
King Lear was chased from the pas
time in the seventh because he object
ed to Umpire Erwin,s ruling on a third
strike. CorcoranN went to third and
BFackett was sent to right. Manager

JOE SHANNON REAL
FIND FOR LEADING
NEW HAVEN TEAM

r. New Haven, June Z - Manager
Danny Murphy of the New Haven
baseball team believes he has I'M
earthed a real star in Joe Shannon, the
19-year-old center fielder of the Muir
Inns. Shannon's clever all-around
play is one of the reasons why New
Haven is leading the Eastern league
race today by margin of three and
IA half games.
Shannon leads the New Haven
stickers with phenomenal average
Of 1913 and is covering lots Of ground
in the outer works.
(. Shannon was secured from the Bos-
ton Braves early last season. along
with his brother Maurice, who is now
pastiming with Baltimore of the In
ternational league. They jumped the
club in midseason last year and were
suspended. This season, however, Joe
returned in good shape and got
off to a fine start. Manager Murphy
believes that he will be a fit candidate
for a trial under the big tent if he
keeps up his good work.

THE HARVESTER is
SOLD FOR $4,000

New York., June Paul Kuhn, a
grain dealer of Terre Haute, Ind,
purchased The Harvester for $50, 100 at
the disposal sale of the c. K. G. Bill
lings light harness horses from Curles
Neck Farm in Madison Square Garden
yesterday.
This is the highest price ever paid
for trotter at auction in this city,
and second only to the price paid for
Bingen, in 1904, in Boston,, when sold
for $4,000. The previous record for
the Garden WAS $4,000 paid by Will
liam Bradley for the stallion Todd.
Kuhn bought the famous trotter
practically over the long distance tel
ephone. On Tuesday afternoon he
called up George A Balm, the auc-
tioneer of. the Fasig-Tipton company,
and told him he was particularly anx-
fous to become the owner of The. Har-
vester.
'eHow much do you want to bid for
him % asked the auctioneer.
It'll leave that to your own judg-
ment.'' was Kuhn's reply.
There. were any number Of owners
at the Garden yesterday and many of
them were anxious to add The Har-
vester to their studs Consequently
the bidding was lively and excitement
ran high. DR.. McCu1ly made the first
bid. It was $40, 900. The second was
SIS, 900 by Richard Delafeld
At this point J. D. Grover, who was
selected by Balm to act as Kuhn's rep
resentative, offered SIS, 900. De1afield
came back with 5000 more and Gro
yer added another $500. Delafield
made another bid at $4,000 and moved
away. Then Walter r. Cox, acting
for the Walnut Hall Farm, took a
hand in the bidding
Delafeld finally raised his bid to
| s3O,000 but Grover added an extra
800 and the horse was sold to him
The Harvester is a brown stallion,
foaled in 1905, and with a record OF
2:01. He holds the worlds stallion
record at 2:02, and the worlds two

GIANTS TUMBLE
FROM TOP AS
REDS BEAT EN-

cincinnati, June IA disastrous
error by Herzog in the fourth inning
of yesterdays game, followed in the
same frame with blow up by
Pitcher Benton, enabled the Reds to
beat out the. Giants by the score of
to 8. Their defeat tdmbled the New
Workers out of first place in the cham
pfonship scramble.
BY the way the visitors started off
on Pitcher Toney in the first inning
1t was little less than cinch that
they would win, but the Reds played
a mastery uphill game and overcome
their opponents two run lead. and
simply romped home the winners.
One error was charged up against
the home team, a bad throw back to
first by Thorpe in an endeavor to
complete a double play, and it cost a
Reds put up a perfect game, their
fielding being sensationally fast and
accurate Two great running catches
by Roush and a thrilling stop by Groh
were the features of the game and
probably. saved the day for the local
players 80.
The, Giants played a, listless game
in spots. Benton being particularly
slow in fielding and running, and his
pitching was ineffective to degree.
Singles by Burns and Herzog and
Robertson's sacrifice ybunt gave the
Giants their promising start. Burns
scored on a, short wild pitch by fast
running. Herzog got home when
Kopf made-fa belated throw to the
plate OF zmmerman's bounder.
The Giants last run was made in
the fourth on Holke's single, Thorpe's
poor return of McCarthy's fly and
Benton's one-bager to center. From
that time ON Toney did not allow the
Giants a base hit or a run. He con-
stantiy improved as the game pro-
crossed. - -
Nine Red batsmen faced Benton in
the fourth. Thorpe was retired easily.
Cuetp andFShean singled. Wingo shot
sp@edy erpunder to .Herzog, who,
with double play in view. let the
bah skip through, Cueto scoring and
Shean taking third, from where he
, registered on Toney's fly Groh walk
ed, and both Wingo and Groh rode
home on Kopfs long double to left
centre. Middleton relieved Benton in
! the sixth inning.

GEORGE CUTSHAW
DOING COMEBACK
FOR BROOKLYN CLUB

There have been reports published
that the Brooklyn club would dispose
of George Cutshaw, either by a trade
or, that failing by releasing him to
some minor league Brooklyn inten-
lions, that use still can be found for
Cutshaw. One might imagine so.
Averages show him leading the team
in hitting.
Not only that his hits are long and
timely He stands about fifth in his
league in extra-base hitting, has done
some remarkable fielding work and
altogether has been a big factor in
the Dodgers efforts to come back.
Cutshaw is much Of a comeback him
self. Last fall his work was so bad
he became Disguised with himself and
declared he would quit the game.
President Ebbets coaxed him into
making another trial. His brace has
been one of the features of the Ma
tiOnal league season.

BIGLEAGUE BITS

Out in Cleveland they only have
two seasons, losing and rainy.
CONSUMPTION can do a lot of the
teams some good, if any Of the regu-
lars come within the drafting age.
The fact that Cleveland hung in
first division for such a long time
brings to our attention that it can't
rain forever.
Looks now like most of the regatas
this, season will be over that 5000
mile course popularity known as the
Atlantic.
Won't do Billy Sundays reputation
as an evangelist much good II they
ever dig up his base-stealing record
while he was a baseball player.
The concensus of opinion seems to
be that the Legislature didn't kill the
fight game in New York. but that the
fighters and promoters let the game
commit suicide.
No less than eight former Tanks
and Giants appeared with the Cubs
on their first visit to the Polo
Grounds but their welcome home did
not extend further than third base.
All of which goes to prove that
anything is fair in love and baseball
even to the extent of scooping your
former side-kick on the g1lded
dome.
The Polo Grounders were glad to
see the alumni but the scores go to-
prove that the bird who dragged in
that story about the prodiga1 son and
killing the fatted calf was throwing
the fatted bull.

Manager John McGraw of the
Giants recently told a New Haven
Friend that he believes Benny Kauff

Joe Rodriguez continues to hit the
ball for Rochester of the International
league. He gathered three blows
against Buffalo yesterday. The for
mer New London first sacker is be-
ing closely watched by big league
scouts. The Giants must claim him

the Cuban. According to baseball law
the Giants cannot farm him out
again.
Billy Kopf, who played the infie1d
for New Haven a few years ago and

New Britain boy, was given "a trial
by the late George Cameron. Kopf
made a few errors and the fans roast

DREYF7UsS EATS CROW

Barney Dreyfuss, the Pittsburgh
baseball magnate, had to listen to the
demands of the fans. His effort to cut
the salary of the mighty Hans Wagner
proved a dismal failure and yesterday
he had to eat humble pie when he
gave Wagner contract. The veteran
made the rooters happy by signing
the papers and agreeing to get back
into the game for the Pirates.
Dreyfuss has, learned that sentiment
plays an important part in baseball.
When he started his retrenchment pol
icy this season he thought all he had
to do was slice salaries right and left.
Forgetting what Wagner had done for
him in past seasons, Dreyfuss also
wanted to give the veteran a cut of
s2,O6o The old timer was deeply
hurt at this and refused to sign. Then
the fans began to roast Dreyfuss and
when the Pirates continued to lose tbs
bowls became still louder. Finally
Dreyfuss had to give Wagner his old
$4,000 contract. He has probably
discovered by this time that certain
kinds Of economy are foolish.
Manager O'Hara of Springfield has

WILL NOT SEIZE FOOD.

Grand Forks, Oct. PAT has been
the opinion of great many people
that the United States Food Admin
istration would seize the foodstuffs in
the homes of North Dakota. In an
swer to this the Food Administration
emphatically denies the statement
and states that there has been no
such plan made by the officials. One
variation of this statement declares
that the government intends to take
from each family all canned goods and
vegetables in excess of 100 quarts.
The authorities deny that such a meas
ure was ever considered and on the
contrary they have been urging house,
wives to can and dry fruits and vege-
tables of all kinds so as to provide
cheap and plentiful supply of food
for each family.

nineteenth century. All these imn,i.

the writer already referred to pointed
out. hardly any Of their present repre-
sentatives speak English. at any rnte
as "native tongue" and they have
