 In the second the Americans over took the Senators when the side easily should have been retired, due to Gardella's two misplays.
 After Brown moved down the visi- tors in the third and fourth, the Americans counted thrice in the fifth when Grimes error figured in the scoring. Ray Grimes coaxed a pass and Baker got an infield hit. Grimes taking second. Both Grimes and Baker raced home when Yim's grounder trickled through Roy Grimes's legs, the Celestial reaching second. Braun's drive to Shea serv- ed as a sacrifice, and the Bridgeport right fielder took third, from where he ambled home on Sees single to right field, after Connolly's offer was a fly to We're.
 The final run of the visitors came in the seventh inning when Low en- gineered his tumble with two down Baker opened matters with a hit to left field. When Brown uncorked a wild pitch, the Bridgeport second sacker scampered to third. Vim got an infield hit, but Baker was nail ed at third on Connolly's grounder tc Grimes. Vim scored later on Lows error of Sees grounder.
 In the seventh the Senators kicked up furry and the fans went wild with excitement. Braun gave Brigel life when he fumbled his grounder Clark strolled to first when See. pitch hit him on the back. Brige1 advanced to second and when Browns grounder took a bad drop the Hart. ford pitcher was credited with a hit and the bases were occupied. CaIly with the count three and two, whifred but We're drove long fly to Brack. cit, which had all appearance of be- ing an extra-base blow, but the Bridgeport outfielder happened to bt in the right spot to bag the drive Briger scored on the fly and wher Captain Garde11a came through with Z single to left field, Babe Clark was ad. mitted. Roy Grimes instilled further excitement to the fans when he ram med double to right field, Gardells reaching third.

Terry McGovern knocked out Tom my White in the third round at Co., ney Island eighteen years ago today, June 12, 1900. Later in the same year White again fought Terrible Terry in Milwaukee, and was defeated. He then retired from the ring.
 White was a native of Chicago, where he was known as the Board of Trade pet, and while he was never featherweight champion, he was one of the strongest, cleverest little men the ring has ever had. His first real fight was in 1889, when he fought a fiftv-four round draw with Tommy Morgan. In 1892 he went to Min neapolis and fought ten rounds with Ike Weir, and, although it was called draw, the Pet had the best of the affair with the Belfast Spider. In the same year he fought a thirty-two- round draw with Australian Billy Murphy, and in 1893 he got a draw with Young Griffo, the clever Austra- lian. In 1893 he fought a twenty round draw with George Dixon, the featherweight champion. and knock ed out Eddie Santry. In 1897 White fought a twenty draw with Solly Smith, who soon afterward be- came champion, and defeated Gen tleman Jack" Skelly. In 1898 he again fought draws with Dixon and Solly Smith. but was defeated by Dix on in Denver the following year.

It is said that the promoters are try ing to sign up Johnny to meet Lew Tender, the Philadelphia sensation, in 12-round bout to be held in Cleveland, July 4 or Labor Day. If Kilbane does agree to terms it will most probably mean his second de- feat, as it is generally considered that Tenders smashing southpaw style will overcome Johnny's clever ness

Association said that steps are being taken to prevent the desertion of the players.
 Babe Adams, the hero Of a worlds series of a few years back in which he pitched the Pirates to the cham pionship,- is the leading pitcher of the American Association. After dropping the first game he has won eight straight for the Kansas City club. Several big league clubs have made offers for the former National League star but the owners have re- fused to let him go until the season is over.
 Many other former big 1eaguers are starring in the minor leagues. Larry Lajoie is leading the American As sociation, and John Tories Meyers, the big chief, is the leading swat smith of the new International. It is expected that these three will be back in the big show at the end of the present season.
 Johnny Evers is at Troy, N. Y, ta- king life easy. He is evidently wait ing for the time to come when he will be called upon, after some of the youngsters have been drafted by Un- cle Sam.
 Marty O'Toole and Billy Kelly, the battery for whom Barney Dreyfuss paid $2S,O0o several years ago, are now members of the Omaha team.
 Newark's International League team contains many former major leaguers. Holly, Gather, Finn, Downey and Mad den all played in the big show.
 It looks as if Burns or Walker will win the home run honors in the Amer ican League this season. Not anoth- CT player has so far been able to touch them.
 Connie Mack has soft spot in his heart for ball players with Irish names. He won the championship with Eddie Collins, Jack Barry Stuff fy McInnis and other sons of Erin. These stars have gone, but Connie has another array of talent that possesses good old fashioned reminders of the Ould Sod. There's Fahey and Walk CT, Burns, Shannon, Dugan, McAvoy, Geary, Shea and Holmes and others. When you remember, however, that Connie Mack's real name is Cornelius McGillicuddy, you won't be surprised at his fondness for the Irish. | Somewhere in the United States" Otto Knabe, long star second baseman of the Phillies, and also pilot of the Baltimore Feds, will be receiving birthday congratulations today, as he was born on this date in 1884, mak- ing him thirty-four years old. Hard Luck seems to be Otto's middle name. When he deserted the Phillies to as- sume the management of the Balti- more Feds he got together team which looked like a winner, only to have it crumble to pieces. When the Federal League blew up the pilot of the Terrapips was left to hold the bag, with contract not worth the paper it was printed on. Eventually he landed job with the Pirates, but he bad slowed down so much that he wasn't good enough to travel in their company, and was turned loose. l Knabe was born in Garrick, Pa, and strated his baseball career with Pueblo and Colorado Springs in 1905. Later he played with the Toledo Mudhens. Pittsburgh drafted him but swapped him to the Phillies for | CamnitZ.
