CAREY IN FAVOR
OF EARLY START
FOR BALL GAMES

Springfield, April 12-An the major
league odor arising out of the question
as to whether baseball games shall
start at $3.50 O'Clock or one hour later
to take advantage of the enforced
by-legislation tradiness of the sun
sounds like a lot of advertising to
William E. Carey. president Of the
Springfield Eastern League baseball
club.
From what the Pony boss said, it
was no difficult thing to deduce that
whether or not such action would
bulge out the Sprin gfield strong box.
he is in favor of taking advantage
of the extra daylight and start games
here at 4:30 o'clock if the fans desire
it.
81 don't see where these major
league fellows get off with that stuff
about patriotism" he said. "It sounds
like a lot of advertising to me-hke
a lot of flag waving. I can't see how
it can be unpatriotic to start base
ball games one hour later, thus giving
more business men the opportunity to
find their relaxation at the diamond.
The very essence of the idea, of
Is u save OlOCIIiC AShIS puI
it has always been possible to eat
supper without artificial light in the
summer after baseball games. The
secondary idea was to give workmen
more time for relaxation after bust
ness hours-either for enjoyment or
to tend to war gardens or whatever
else fell in line with their desires.
Now if a man would rather attend to
a war garden than go to a baseball
game he will do what he wishes
whether the game starts at noon or at
midnight On the other hand, there
will be a large number of men. who
will be enabled to attend the games,
who have always wanted to but who
could not find the time before. And
even if such action should mean that
there would be no larger gate receipts,
I would believe that it should still be
the desire of all club owners to con-
slider their patrons.
81 intend to do this thing. Being
a baseball man, I naturally want to
see baseball weather out the war
storm. And I believe baseball pa
irons desire the same. For. this rea-
son it may be that I shall let the
fans decide this question for them
selves by a straw vote at an early
game. So for the present I shall
let the matter rest

JOSS ONE OF
'0THE GREATEST

In baseball history this day is mem
orable as the anniversary of the birth
of the late Adrian G. joss, the great
Cleveland pitcher whose memory is
still held in grateful remembrance by
the diamond fans. "Addie'' Joss
was born in Juneau, Wiss., thirty
eight years ago today, April IL, 1880,
and his untime1y death was a tragedy
which darkened the whole baseball
world. Joss holds a place in the
baseball hall of fame as one of the
very few tWirlers who have pitched
a no-hit game in which no player
reached the initial bag. Richmond,
Of the Worcester, Mass, club, per-
formed this feat three times in 1879
and 1880. and in the latter year John
M. Ward, now a New York lawyer,
pulled off the difficult stunt in a
Providence uniform. Fourteen years
passed before another major Lacquer
pitched a hitless contest in which no
player reached first. Old "Cy'' Young
did it in 1904. Ad6ie JOSS pitching
triumph was won on an October day
in 1908, when the White Sox opposed
the Maps. In 1910 Joss pitched an
other no-hit game against Chicago, in
which no run was scored by the
White Sox. In the passing of Addie
JOSS the diamond lost a great pitcher,
an athletic and a gentleman

The rapid rise of Joe Porto to the
leadership in the state individual
duckpin congress stands out as the
real feature of the 1917-1918 bowling
season which is fast drawing TO a
close. Porto now holds an apparently
safe lead in this competition and
seems in little danger of being over
taken. The winning of the champion
ship will add considerably to Porto's
prestige inasmuch as he had been
somewhat moderated by state duck
pin sharks up to this year. Porto, it
will be recalled, captured high aver
age prize in the state five-men league
with mark of los. Recent Perform
ances indicate that he will beat that
mark in the individual play.
Porto is a real star at the bowling
game whether it concerns big pins or
duckpins. He has but one peer in
the state in the big pin art, Mort
Lindsey, of this city, of course, ruling
supreme. But when it comes to
tumbling the smaller wood, Porto has
first call. During the present season
Porto has bowled in phenomenal
form, his work alone keeping New
Haven to the fore.
1t was back in 1905 when Porto was
pinboy at the old Railroad Y. M.
C. A. alleys in New Haven. He was
then recognized as one of the fastest
pin settlers in that city but little did
the bowlers Of those days realize that
their favorite pinboy was destined to
become one of the leading stars of the
East. Even as a boy Porto was in
the habit of challenging some of the
most prominent bowlers and beating
them. He was later given employ
ment by the railroad and then got an
opportunity TO bowl with one of the
league teams He rolled sensational
big pins and duckpins from the start
and was soon pressing the veterans for
| high honNER.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-12
POrtO's Rapid Rise in Bowling Game

Not until 1912 did New Haven
bowling leaders begin to realize
Porto's ability. When the New Haven
team decided to send team to Pater-
son in the spring of that year they
hunted around for a substitute. Portos
name was suggested but the managers
weren't all satisfied that he could fill
the bid. It was finally decided to
take him along as sixth man and he
did remarkably well in the doubles
and singles, the only event in which
he was entered. This convinced the
leaders that Porto possessed the
ability. From that day until this, his
name has always been linked with the
bowling game. The team of 1912 was
made up of Lindsey, Schecher, JAMS
wick, French and Charley johnson.
The following year Porto rolled at
Rochester with the Bridgeport team,
captained by Mort Lindsey. In 1914
he went to Buffalo with the New
Haven team which won the five-man
championship with a score Of 2944.
He also rolled with the New Haven
team at Peoria in 1915, at Toledo
in 1916, at Grand Rapids in 1917 and
at Cincinnati last month. Porto man
aged to hold up his end in admirable
style season after season He and
Lindsey finished third in the Cincin-
natl meet, the best ever done by a
New Haven pair in an American
Bowling Congress meet.
| Porto also displayed real form in
1914 when he won the New Haven
! city individual big pin championship.
One of his most brilliant achieve
ments was his 500 score which he
chalked up on the Fair Haven alleys
three years ago. He made it on brand
new alleys. a feat unparalleled in the
history of New England bowling.
Porto is the youngest bowler In
the tournament and the best. Some
may question this but figures seldom

fIsTIC HISTORY

Among the pugnaclOuS HlpernldHS
who have emigrated to America ana
added to the joy of fight fans, distln-
guished mention is due to William
Michael Fitzgerald, who was born IN
waterford, Ireland, thirty-seven years
ago today. His ring career extend
ed over a dozen years, his last ap-
pearance in the ring having been in
1912. He fought his first battle IN
1899. when he knocked out Jack
I,owery in the third round. The
next year he mingled with more than
a score of the little fellows, and one
of his victims was Marty McCue, now
the Hon. Martin McCue of the New
York LEGISLATURE. In 1902 Willie
knocked out McCue and whipped a
number of other good lads, his only
defeat being at the hands of Buddy
Ryan, the Chicago slugger.
In 1903 the Irish lad aspired to the
lightweight honors, then claimed by
Joe Cans and Jimmy Britt. Willie
lost the decision in a twenty round
go with Britt and was knocked out
by the Baltimore negro. Fitzgerald
also lost to Mike Ward, the Canadian,
and to Steve Crosby. He fought
Cans again in 1904, but lost, but he
bested Charlie Neary and Martin Ca
mole. Willie lost on a foul to Ed
die Hanlon, the California boxer, at
Lost Angeles in 1905, but had the
best of the argument with Maurice
Thompson, Otto Sieloff and Gus
Gardner. He knocked out Tommy
sullivan the next year, but was
knocked out by Harry Lewis. the
New York Hebrew. In 1907 Willie
fought draws with Freddie Welsh and
Indian joe Gregg, and in 1905
defeated Aurelio Herrera, the Mexi-
can lightweight. That year ended
FItzgerald's active ring career, al
though he continued to fight occa'
sionally for several years after.
