Americans Beaten By Senators, 8=7; Return To
 Tackle Springfield Nine

Beaten in three straight games, the Bridgeport Americans today re- turned to town frea., Hartford where they dropped an s to overtime game to the Senators. This after noon the locals will take on the Springfield Ponies, who will remain at Newfield Park for a two-game series that terminates tomorrow afternoon.
 Steady hitting, splendid defensive playing and the twirling of Andy Meyerjack of Hartford resulted in the downfall of the locals in Hart ford yesterday, although the Ameri- cans secured a five-run lead on the Senators in the second inning.
 It was the fourth st1-ight victory for Meyerjack, who has been going well since he got back to his regular turn on the mound. The Americans could do nothing with him, as he had perfect control of his benders and also helped himself by sending in the tieing run in the eighth inning by a sacrifice fly
 The support given him by the Sen ators was very fast, the feature being Frank BraziIl and Warren Adams in
  Americans were threatening to break up the game.
 Hartford's sluggers didn't pass up a single chance to score and pounded Eddie Leonard so heavily that he was finally relieved by Herring in the eighth frame.
 Joe Baker who has been laid up with a sore arm, started for Hart ford but when the visitors nicked him for five hits and an equal num- Der of runs in the second inning, he paade a bee line for the showers, and Meyerjack stepped to the mound. Joe has been twirling in hard luck for some time, but Manager Grimes shouldn't be afraid to let the big southpaw get into action either to- day or tomorrow. Another days rest will set his fiinging arm in proper condition. When Joe is going right he has proven himself to be the

 This feature will be given in con 'nection with the regular show, which constitutes two hours of solid picture entertainment. The arrangement made by MT. LuStig is so complete that the patrons of the Empire theater will know the result of the battle a minute after it has ended in Toledo

hardest lefthander in the league to get hits off of.
 The Senators fought renaarka b1e uphill battle from the second inning on, as a result of the visitors early fve-run lead and by steady plugging they soon accumulated enough runs to tie the score and from then on it was different story. They were there with the punch when hits were most needed and the outcome of the game shows just what the home club is capable of accomplishing even in the face of great odds
 Four singles. and a double sent nVe Bridgeport runs across the plate In the second. They were stopped there by Aandy Meyerjack, with two out, and didn't score again until the seventh when a triple, an error and single sent over two runs In the other seven innings they were heIu runless by Meyerjack.
 On the other hand Roy Crimes men were continually pounding the ball and they failed to fall down in the pfnches. They got one run back Tn the second, another in the third, two in the fourth and one more in the fifth and sixth which gave them
 
 a cne-run lead. Bridgeport's two in the seventh gave them onerun ad- vantage but Meyerjack's sacrifice ay in the eighth with George Allen on th1rd base sent home the tfeing run.
 The story of the tenth inning is good listening from Hartford standpoint Skif started for Bridge port by singling. Gene Martin, how ever, A his attempt to sacrifice, popped a short f1y-bunt right into Frank Brazil's init and the home third-sacker heaved to first in time to catch Skiff for double play It seemed that Brazil knew perfectly just what Martin was going to hit and he came in on the run for the sacrifice that would have undoubted- ly won the game for the visitors. Kenneth Grimes was then famed by Meyerjack.

 It remained for Ad Thatcher, who is associated with Tex Rfckard in the promot of the Willard-Dempsey bout, to come to he rescue. First, he canvassed the city and found that the public wanted boxing. That done, he asked the Mayor if he objected to honest and clean boxing bouts. And like any intelligent American, MT. Schrieber said he did not, but that he would have to be shown.

 New York wants boxing and the State Legislature was willing that they should have it.

 Connecticut fans would rejoice with New Workers were boxing legaiized there, for enthusiasts in this State think nothing of grabbing a rattler down to the big town.

THATCHER, who is a wealthy


 | man, immediately proceeded to interest the police commissioners and other city authorities in the promot- ing end of the sport. He pointed out that there were scores of worthy in stitutions in the city in need of funds He argued the point that if boxing were promoted under the auspices of the city with the Mayor as ex-officio the spc-: would not only be relieved of its money grabbers and fakirs, but be placed on q level with tennis, golf ing and baseball. Also, he argued, the fans would and could not be kept from coming if only they were shown where they were to receive considera- tion and an effort made to satisfy their every want.
 Then, further argued Ad, the city commissioners would name a match maker who would serve without com pensation, but whose travelling, tele- phone, telegraph and incidental ex- penses would be paid out of funds ob- tained through the shows. All money made at the shows would be turned over to some trusty person named by the Mayor or commissions. After pay Ing the boxers and meeting other in- cidental bills, the treasurer would fila a statement with the newspaper writers and Mayor ana at the end or the year the proceeds from the bouts be donated to worthy charities "H HAT THE plan has succeeded is Il now an admitted fact The box ing commission in Toledo Is a, non- partisan body. made up of reputable citizens. serving without pay.

AIEW TURN promoters or bONlnS ~ will endeavor, after the big bout at Toledo, Friday. to organize a strong club of boxing fans. Already the plan is progressing rapidly and a definite move to bring about such an organization is being made in Toledo. As a matter of fact, the first organized effort to band the fans together will be made on the Gibson special that pulls out of the Grand Central Station in New York tomorrow as second section of the Lake Shore Limited. Every one of those who will make the trip on this train will be asked to take out q membership card for this new or ganizat ton and chances are that every man on that rattler will ask for entrance to such a club.
 Meanwhile, Tex O'Rourke, and sevearl other prominent New York CTS. now in Toledo. are interesting those Empire City fans who arc in the Ohio City. From there also comes an encouraging report. The aim of those who are back of this venture Is to secure a membership of at least 5000 fans. When this has been accomplished 1t Is planned to take over a long term lease on the
 
 ganization, if successful, will be in- corporated under the laws of the State of New York. The shows will be held under the auspices of the club along the smoker lines. There will be no money collected at the door.
 As soon as the promoters have se- cnred 5000 pledges they will pro- cced to organize. A meeting will be held in the Madison Square Gar den and officers formally elected. A matchmaker will be named The members will be given due books and on a specified date each week the members will pay their dues. All tiiat a member will have to do to gain admittance to the shows will be to show his membership card.
 Boxing has been successfully con ducted along the membership lines in Boston for the past five years. And there are three successful clubs fin the Hub operating all year round. When the boxing law was repealed in New York State, Buffalo, Syracuse and other cities organized the fans Into clubs and have been staging bouts weekly unmolested by the authorities.

THERE IS no reason why boxing 1 could not be successfully con- ducted along the membership lines in this State. And yet there is small hope of such a venture becoming suc- ceasful here, for the very simple reason that jealousy and a rabidly dangerous Jealousy exists among the promoters of Bridgeport and State in general. Here one finds an entire lack of harmony among promoters. each knocking and doing his utmost to put the other fellow out of busi- ness.
 Just so long as these petty knock ing and jealous promoters are all lowed to put on shows just so long will boxing in this State be the joke that 1t is. Cooperation and organiza- ton could put this State among thoss fin the front, but, alas, what a chancel Here permits arc given to every Tom, Dick and Harry. A chap with a po- litical pull--and no knowledge of boxing-can get a permit; the fellow who understands the sport and is willing to invest few thousands. and not afraid to lose. is forced to remain on the outside looking in.
 What Connecticut and Bridgeport. in particular. need, are promoters who know what they are doing and who will listen to public demands and not to those money-grabbers who will listen to the wild rawlings and dreams of smooth managers. These money hounds have made it impos- sdble for the real promoter to make money. for the very good reason that instead of making friends for boxing they have lost them. And.
