rated as the best in scholastic ranks
this year, takes the field today
against Technical High School on

Central had better not count its

reasons why the club was thrown

through the Rosedale teams efforts.
Cooley refused to make q direct re-

no jurisdiction over such action a.

the question was out Of place. This
view was supported by President

BRIDGEPORT GETS
 FIVE STRAIGHT BY PUNCHING CL0UTS
(By Wagner.)

With nobody feeling mean enough to take a swing at the umpire, thes game at Newfeld park yesterday was a calm affair enlivened by noNcharge of the police reserves or barking Of the players. Manager Jack O'Hara of Springfield grumbled few times but didn't seem to have his heart in his work. Bridgeport overcame the Green Sox by to 2 and thereby made it five straight victories.
 Dug Smith flung the baseball for Bridgeport. He had a stormy passage in the fifth but escaped with a shower of base hits and two runs. In the. other innings Smith had Springfield hanging on the ropes and waiting for the bell to ring. He gave. only six hits, whiffed four and did not issue a pass.
 Babe Mangan, the 1S-year-old Springfield hurlas, was tapped freely by Bridgeport but worked himself out of several bad situations. Poor work on the. bases by the Americans also helped Mangan when it looked as if he would explode. The Ameri-. cans got to him for Ii hits, including three singles by Corcoran,s a double and single by Martin and two smashes by Bracket. Mangan was taken out in the ninth in favor of pinch hitter and Mayberry worked the last in ming. Jack Egan sa1uted Mayberry with a double and went to third on a, huff of throw from the outfeld. But the next three men could not bring him in. Martin, Priest and Lear did some clever fielding for the locals and Egan caught splendfdly.
 The Americans won the pasdhne in the third when they scored three. With one on. Bracket got a life on Moves error. Then Corcoran and Finn, singled and Lear doubled, pro- ducing a total of three taI1ies- The score:
