ing one dollar and thereby contribut-

Proposed BY Red Son Boss For Big

Boston. July 20.--A suggestion to
end the major league season upon the
completion of 100 games was tele-
sraphed to Educational Baseball Com
mission by President II. II. Frazee of
the Boston American league club last
night.
President Frazee said he would not
consider the possibility Of continuing
the season with the array of inferior
players it would be necessary to call
upon to fill up the roster of the yari-
Gus clubs. OF the Red SoX stars only
Wagner. Shcan. Whiteman and Trues-
dale would be left. Shean and Wag-
ner are the only regulars.
The Boston Am orleans have played
eighty-siX games Of their schedule
and have q comfortable lead. Under
the plan suggested by President Fra
zee the season would close with two
thirds of the schedule completed.
If the ruling is enforced the Boston
! Nationals would have only four play
ers Ieft--Ragan. Hughes, konetchy

Famous Tiger Star to Play sunday
With COlOnials.

With the renowned Ty Cobb,
greatest ball player in the world in
the lineup, and Ray Fisher former
New York. Yankee star tWirler, on
the mound, the New Haven Colonials
look pretty nifty for the opening
game of the series with the New Ha-
Ven club Of the Eastern league at
Lighthouse Point. New Haven on
Sunday afternoon. This big baseball
attraction is causing much interest all
over the state. 1t is without doubt
one of the classiest attractions ever
staged as a Sunday feature at Light
house Point and the event promises
to gather a record-breaking crowd.
Manager Danny Murphy announces
his New Haven team will be able to
present its regular makeup Sunday
with Captain Neal Ball at second
base and Simpson back in his posi-
ton in left field. He will send Tyler
to the mound and Pjura will catch.
Emmons Bowen. captain of the
Holy Cross team, has been secured to
play an outfield position with the
Colonials and Manager Weiss figures
on using Mickey Flaherty at catch
and Bobby Orr at second base. Both
of these boys are fresh from the Ro-
chester club in the International
league and quit the league to accept
war positions at Martins in New Ha-
Ven.
AS Ty Cobb announces he will give
up baseball at the close of the sea-
son until after the war Sunday may
be the last chance for many of the
state fans to see this wonderful play
er in action for some time. Cobb is
hitting the apple on the eye these
days and his remarkable squirt with
the willow in the American league is
causing a big sensation in the base
ball world.
The management of the big game
on Sunday has arranged to take care
of the largest crowd that ever turned
out at Lighthouse Point. Extra troll
ley cars will be run to and from the
park and everything done to make it
pleasant for a big crowd of baseball
patrons.
Hugh J. Rorty of Hartford will be
| the umpire. The game will start at
| $3.50 o'clock.
