LEONARD FAVORED
 OVER KlLBANE IN
 BOUT NEXT WEEK

i New York, July 1s-Down in P;sil- adelphia they have installed Benny Leonard a to 6 favorite over John ny KiltItne in their coming battle next Wednesday night at Shibe Park.
 Both these lads are prime favorites
 with sporting populace of the Som
 nolent City. but Benny is just a shade
 more popular than his rival, There
 has been no betting of any size, and
 in all probability very little money
 will change hands on the result
 Few expect a knockout to take place. Both champions are so clever they shouldn't have the slightest diff
 ficuity in travelling the six rounds.
 The shortness of the distance calls ! for a whiriwind scrap, and the least
 aelAy will carry great weight against tho offender, Leonard's advantage eR . few pounds in the weight will cut
 lftele ftgare In the battle, for speed
 Is what will bring home the victory,

FERGUSON WORKS IN BOTH ENDS OF
 DOUBLE TRIUMPH

Springfield, July 19.-Aleci Fergu- son, the young hurler sent to Bridge.z port by the New York Americans, dis-l played real skill again yesterday when he worked in both parts of a double header. He blanked Springfield in seven innings until he was relieved to make way flor Otto Deininger as a pinch hitter. Then Ferguson returned to the fray in the second game and won in easy fashion by Il to 3. The first contest was a 13 inning affair, which Bridgeport captured by 1. to 0, so it was a. great day for Krichetl's men.
 The extra inning battle was hum mer. Mayberry, who had previously beaten New London and New Haven, was pitching for Springfield. He pug zled the Americans a11d although they got 12 hits they couldn't bunch the raps until the final stanza- Then: Johnny Priest opened with two bag ger and took third on Corcoran's sac rihce. Guy Finn made his third hit and Priest scored the winning run. sz
 shanty House went in after Fergu- son was relieved in this game and did his best pitching of the season. He held the Green Sox to no hts and no runs for six rounds.

YALE ABANDONS FOOTBALL
Formally Announces That Varsity Schedule Arranged
 This Season Is Cancelled

New Haven, July 1s-Yale has cut loose from organized intercollegiate athletics this fall to the extent of formally cancelling it's varsity foot ball schedule. This action is the surest guarantee of the deternina- ton to make athletics, as we'll as ev- cry other department of university ac- tivity, secondary to military demands during the continuance of the war.
 Reports that Yale would cling to the schedule, which was arranged last January, till close upon the open ing of the fall term, in the hope that 8 chance might arise for playing the listed games, have proved untrue. AS every varsity player of last seasons scrub eleven now wearing khaki, only a scrub eleven could be pitted against college opponents this fall had the schedule been retained.
 Hope Is still felt at Yale that a freshman schedule may be played this fall. One is being arranged, which includes several preliminary games
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-07-19

with opponents who are not especi- ally formidable, but which will have it is hoped here, the Princeton and Harvard 1912 teams at it's close, as usual. Definite word has not been received from Princeton and Harvard regarding Yale,s proposition for this. but Professor Robert Corwin, of Yale. chairman of the athletic coun- cil, met Dean Briggs, chairman of the Harvard athletic committee, in Bos- ton two or. three days ago, and they discussed the outlook in detail Dean Briggs seemed pleased with the idea of playing 9 light freshman schedule but his informal receptive mood 3o1 the plan is not taken at Yale as in any way binding Harvard to agree to 8 game with the Eli 1921 team.
 | Professor Corwin has returned from Boston more determined than ever in his belief that it is wise fol Yale to wait till fall conditions de- termine the course 1t seems wise fol the university to take in athletics.

BENDER GOT BACK TO FAST COMPANY BY HIS
 FAITHFUL TRAINING,

There is repetition of the old lesson, Always mind your teacher" in the return of Chief Bender to the big leagues. The veteran was re- leased last winter from the Ph1llies when Moran came to the conclusion that the Chief had seen his best days and was on the downward grade. Bender went in sorrow. He decided that he'd do something with himself and try to "come back" He went into training this spring and pitched for several semi teams in Pennsylvania.
 He found that he was doing pretty well and decided to apply to his old boss for the return of his job. He convinced Moran that there was still some play in him and now he's work ing once more with his old team. But here's where the lesson comes in. Connie Mack long ago told the Indian to take better care of himself physi- ca11y or he'd soon be down and out. Mack was right. Bend er knows bet ter now.

GIANTS AND WHITE.
 SOX CHOSEN BY WRITERS TO WIN

New York, July 19-With the pen
 nant races in the two leagues half way over, most critics are of the opinion thes Giants and White Sox will grapple in the worlds series. Fans now are attempting to size up the
 hitting and defensive strength of both teams, and the conclusions reach ed-on pape-give the McGrawites 8 shade.
 They point with great pride to the gap existing in the respective out composed of Robertson, Kauff and
 Burns excel the rival American Lea
 guers, Leibold, Happy Felsch and Joe Jackson, by large margin. True, many things may happen to upset the standings of the pace-setters before the final round at the end of September. The above deductions are published just for the sake of argu- ment.s
 McGraw's three musketeerS in the outer gardens are outhitting Row l lands men and past deeds since the start of the 1917 campaign show
 they are also better fielders. This is particularly true in the case of Rob- | ertson and Leibold.
 l Davey was macing the pill, accord
 ing to the latest averages, at a .260 clip as compared with Leibold's .23S.
 Kauff .leaped in the 300 division over Sunday. leading Felsch by 26 points.
 Burns is setting the pace at .292 to Jackson's .26s. In Il games Robert son stole eight bases and is given
 credit for eleven sacrifice hits. | Robertson, fKauff and Burns are
 consistent both at bat and on the
 field. They make their wallops count
 in the general score. Seldom does a
 hard hit ball get away from them.
 The last time they were here the
 White Sox dropped two straight games to the Yankees. Donouan's outfield-

CHIEF MEYERS TO LOSE PLACE WITH
 BROOKLYN TEAM

Now York. July 1s-The passing of fWAsezer Dell from the National Lea ixue has the fans of Brooklyn specu- tlafinx over the identity of the next member of the Dodgers who must place his noble sconce upon Charley Eboets's well worn ohopping block. Three of the 1916 champions have
 already trayersed the beaten pathway to the minor leagues-Dell. Appleton and Mails, Jimmy Smyth. an untried product of the brush. has also sever ed seiattons. There are to be others.
 And this time the grip packing, ;so the signs say, will be done by Chief Meyers. the famous redsikin. The signs in his case are quite plain So plain. indeed, that even the untutored |1n baseball can read them-
 But if there should be one or two | or three to ask the question. Why = tthls answer alone should suffice: l s1dlier, Snyder,s Mack, Wheat, Cum 1 ninxham." No club in baseball in ! July has five catchers upon its roster
 for merely playing purposes They are there to take the place of some ! one. and that some one, so the dope says, Is the oldest and most toil-worn ! bf the lot. and he happens to be the l6shteftadn. Meyers is thiry-five, or
 hciose to 1t, and he has been drifting back for several years. drifting slow I1y, but drifting nevertheless.
 And if perchances the signs, like In the case of Dell and like in those of Appleton and Mails. should bear fruit in the case of Meyers an elimination
 contest will ensue among those catch CTS who remain Miller. Mack. Wheat Snyder and Cunningham Four catch CTS for a major league club to carry in these modern days of the pastime are one too many. and therefore one must be returned to tho lower classes

SPECTATORS HOOT
 JUDGES AT RACES
 ON EMPIRE TRACK

YonAcesv, N. Y., July 19.-Empire City had it's most tempeStuous day Of racing yesterday. Five favorftes were beaten, three of them at odds on, and in two instances the decisions of the judges were nodceably disputed by the crowd on the lawn. In the last race, when James Buffers .Bantry was declared a winner over the 7-to- 10 favorite, Dr. Johnson, the demon stration approached a disturbance.
 The crowd surged around the judges stand, some hootfng and boodng, while others showed their approval of the decision by clapping. These untoward happenings rather overshadowed the as 1t marked the further slipping back of the old champion, Rnamer.
 With only i've fair-claas performers against him. Roamer was considered a sure thing in the Mount Vernon Handicap at a mile. The son of Knight ErTant ran out in front all the way to the stretch, where he was passed by St. Isidore, an added start CT, which carried the colors of the Brighton Stable St. Isidore drew clear to win by g. length and g. half Daddy's Choice, on rail, and Wist- ful, .op the outside, closed so fast that the three horses following St. Isidore were noses apart as they crossed the Iiine. Daddys Choice was placed sec onda and Wasttul third, Roamer being dropped back to fourth.
 The first instance in which the spec tators evtnced disapproval Of the judg- ing was dn the fifth race. Jefferson
 Livingston,s Sosius shot up on the in. side, while the favorite, Intone, was well on the outside of the track The verdict was in favor of Sosius In the sixth race, which caused the greates
 demonstration, Bantry shot through on the rail and saved much ground while Dr. Johnson was forced by Stal Class to rgn very wide.

ZIMMERMAN OF GIANTS ALMOST IN BOUT WITH JUMP

New York. July 1s-The double plays of the Giants and the tidy pitching Of Poll Perritt held the Cubs within safe confines yesterday, and tho convoklng of four hits by the Giauxs in the fifth inning brought in ruins sufzcient to win the game. The score was to 2. being the figures of the third game of the series and the third defeat of the Cubs in the serias.
 Other features were the Kilties from Canada and a f1eeting exhibition of hot-heAdedness by Heinie Ztm- merman- An interrgnum of five minutes in the scheduled strife was caused by the coming of the Kilties. Players, umpares and everybody else let the game go hang for a moment and watched and heard them The rat-a-tat of their drums and tho wall of their pipes gave their audi rurs Ave minutes of deNghtfui-or dissorAant. just as it strikes you music and silenced the crack of base hits-
 The wariike demonstration of Zim- merrnan was misplaced, though brief Zim tried to steal home in the eighth inning and was put out He didn't get the plato with his slide and the catcher apparently tagged him before 1 he got there, anyway He jumped ] up, drew back his arm as if he were 1 going to slam the umpire, but didn't slam him. Byron put him out of the ! game-he scarcely could have done !, otherwise-and zim. with growl oI 1 two, went. His motion to swing or Byron appeared to be more an angry impulse s than anything else He | quieted quickly when George Gibsor took a hand in pacifying him.

Pittsburgh, July 19.-With the Cdn- annaH National league club having waived it's claim to the services of ivic Safer, the former Chicago Na- tiona1 first baseman, yesterday be- came the property of the Pittsburgh club.
 Safer Sustained broken leg early in the season and after the Chicago club had obtained Fred Merkle from Brooklyn, Safer was given his release. Both Pittsburgh and Cincinnati en- tered claims for the infielder The Cincinnati club notified President Bar ney> Dreyfuss, of the Pittsburgh club, last night that it had waived its claim
