league-leading Murlins emerged from
their slump at Savin Rock yesterday
afternoon and threw the hooks into
the scrappy Bridgeport crowd by

good until taps sounded. The victory
was doulbly featured by the rout OF

runs. The only other fielding feature
was Johnny Priests backhand catch

column in the first inning. After

RED WHALEN GETS
HIS RELEASE FROM.
NEW HAVEN TEAM

New Haven, Aug. 1-Fenton (Rec)
Whalen, who has been a fixture at
third base for the Murlins ever since
the start of the 1917 pennant race,
was given his unconditional release
by Manager Danny Murphy !, last
night. The release of Whalen was
not unexpected inasmuch as he had
not been playing up to expectations
all season. Whalen played in every
game up to yesterday and had fee
BILE batting mark Of .204 for 6s games.
W-halen is now suffering frorsa an at
tack of boils. He has made no plans
for the future.
To fill the gap left vacant by the
release of Whalen, Manager Murphy
has decided to use Harry Weaver at
third base, pending the arrival of a
new man. Owner Collins already has
his ---1.s eyt for a third baseman
and the probabilities are that he will
be in the New Haven lineup either
tomorrow or Friday
1t was originally planned to shift
Riconda to third base and place Tor
ply back in his old position al
shortstop. Torphy, however, still
limps as the result of a bad ankle
sprain and Murphy, is not anxious tic
use him until he is sure that he will
be able to stand the gaff
Torphy, according to Murphy, is q
valuable man and would have proved
the shortstop sensation Of tho year but
for his frequent naishaps.

Umpire Byron Receives
Nothing But Abuse On
Circuit This Season

Some day some Goethe Of the dia-
mond is going to immortalize himself
by writing an epic entitled THE Sor-
rows of Byron" He, not the poet,
gentle reader, but the National league
umpire, is having his troubles,
take it from everybody. A feud seems
to have broken out in the East be-
TWEEN Lord Bill Byron and a number
of players, The first blood was shed
when McGraw, manager Of the
Giants, exchanged some passes with
the Gar of the Diamond. Since then
everybody has been picking on him,
and if it were not for the fact that
he is mighty game man he would
have thrown up the sponge long ago.
The fans, incidentally, are getting
pretty tired of the display Of bum
sportsmanship, and heavens knows
they have no love for an umpire.
Some Of the hardest work President
Tener of the National League has
done in the past few weeks is slap
ping the fines on players who have
INDUCED in umpire-baiting.

BACK
With GIANTS IN
CHICAGO TRADE

Chicago, Aug. Pitcher Al De-
maree, of the Chicago Nationals, was
traded yesterday to the New York
Nationals for Peter Kilduff, a recruit
infelder, purchased from Omaha last
fall. Demaree came to Chicago from
Philadelphia in trade.
The Giants need a right handed
pitcher just now more than substitute
infielders. McGraw has not been
strongly impressed with Kildu1fss bat
ting ability.
Demaree was with the Giants be-
fore. He was very effective the first
year, but fell off during the second
season, and when McGraw, despaired
of being able, to secure Arthur Shafer
as third baseman he hustled to get
Hans Lobert, who then was in his
prime. To obtain the services of
"Honus' Mcaraw tSaded Demaree
and Milton Stock for him.

Bendigo And Paddock
Engaged In Bout That
Ended In Bloody Riot

Bold Beudiko, the great English
champiorii q 81 the ring, Fought his las.
fight when he was 40 years old, his
opponent being Tom Paddock of
Redditch, a man of 27. The fight was
staezd at Mildenhall and was carried
on with extraordinary -ferocity. The
men became so enraged during the
bout that there was great difficulty
experinced in keeping them to the
rules. Foul was being called dur
ing every round. In the 49th round
when the fight had lasted over an
hour, Paddock rushed Bendigo and
forced him to the ropes. Bendigo
fell to the ground in sitting posi-
ton and Paddock struck him two de-
liberats blows on the head while In
that attitude. The foul was so palpa-
BILE that the referee awarded the de-
cision to Bendigo without hesitation
Then Paddock, mad with rage and
quite losing his head. with passion,
did q most unheard Of thing. When
Bendigo arose and stood with his
hands beside him, thinking the fight
was all over Paddock rushed him
and struck him two fearful blows in
the face. knocking him down at the
referees feet Then one of the most
disgraceful scenes ever witnessed In
a prize ring took place.
Paddock's friends, among whom
were some of the toughest characters
from Birmingham, swarmed into the
ring and one OF them bludgeoned the
referee. The fight broke up in a. riot
When 1t was over Bendigo went back
to Nottingham. his home town, this
being his last appearance in the ring
He remained a conspicuous character
in Nottingham for many years, living
until August, 1880, when he fell dowr
stairs in his own house, and fractured
his ribs. a splinter penetrating his
lungs He died shortly arrer at tine
age of 20.
