ALL BUT
 STOPS OPPONENT

PHILADELPHIA, June 2-That the American public idolizes real fighter was evidenced at the Olympic A. A. here tonight when over 2.O00 fans packed the arena to witness the Six round setto between Joe Lynch, the international boxing sensation whom, the English boxing critics claim, was robbed of a we1-earned decision over Jimmy Wilde, and K.O. Joe oDonnell. the tough bantamweight Of Glouster. Lynch proved to the large gathering that he is the peer of America's bantams by handing out a thoIough beating to O'Donnel1 in every one of the six rounds. Lynch'si fast work was revelation to the fans. He fairly smothered the game Irishman with punches and staggered him time and time again with terrific rights and lefts to the chin. r.
 In the third and fourth rounds Lynch shook ODonnell with right hand -uppercuts that made him hold on to save himself In the final round Lynch hit O'Donnell with ev- cry punch imaginable and only the timely arrival of the gong saved the plucky O'Donnell a trip to the land of nod.

would be treated to better ball Today a man is undecided whether to, take his sweetie, sister, or mother to an Eastern League game, for the very good reason that one can never guess at what one of those boisterous ball players will say in the course of their gunfire on umpires
 Barring the Birmingham incident the fans found time enough between squabbles to watch the ball game. It was an interesting affair and was the second shutout victory chalked up in favor of the Bridgeporters. Johnny Tillman, a Bridgeport boy, was on the hill for the Pittsfield aggregation and he twirled fairly good ball, until the seventh when he took an ascen- sion that cost him the game.
 Good old Marty Walsh was in the points for Bridgeport and a good job he made of it, too. Martin was very effective and a hard worker, too. He had the enemy guessing most of the time. But seven hits were secured off him.
 La Bate took Birmingham's place in center. But this change was tenn porary for when McHale was spiked by Howie Baker in an attempt to complete a double steal with Grimes, La Bate was shifted to second and Garry Fortune sent to centre field. Bridgeport scored its first run in the third inning. Skiff walked, stole sec ond and then came home on Braun's s hit. Two baggers by Hank Bracket and Ray Grimes, together with sev- era1 singles and Mooers' inopportune error, gave Bridgeport its remaining three runs in the lucky seventh. 
 Sprin gfield will be the attraction at
 the ball park this afternoon. The To- calls hold little fear for the invaders in spite of the fact that the team that will play here will be stronger one than that that represented the club here on the last trip.
 King Lear formerly with the Bridgeport club, was responsible for starting the victory ball rolling for the Chicago Cubs in the Windy City yes terday. The Cubs won both games from the Pirates taking the first to 0 and the secondl to 1. Lear's home run in the first inning with two men on bases literally won the opener for the double header.

Sir Barton Should Take Eter- nal's Scalp En the La
 tonia Derby.

A MOTHER race that will attract considerable attention from racing fans will be held this week. Sorry to say, however, the affair will not be staged within convenient reach of local fans, for we are re- ferrins to none other than the La tonia Derby down in good old Ken lucky. While the field will be rich with the best in the three-year-old class of much interest will be the relative showing of Sir Barton, Com mander Ross latest sensation, and J. W. McClelland's Eternal.
 Speculation fin the outcome of this race will no doubt run wild, although Sir Barton has already twice defeated the McClelland best bet. M. J.. how ever. as optimistic. hopeful and con f1dent as ever. can not see it in that light and will have quite a roll him self down on his stars chances.
 The fact that Johnny Loftus, who so masterly and cleverly piloted Billy Kelly to victory in tho big race at Belmont last week. will be on Sir Barton, will encourage hundreds to rest their hope on the Ross entry. Barton is one of the seasons finds and the talk of the horse world. With Loftus showing him how to take the course chances of his taking the Latonia Derby at this time look like a sure bet.

Jim Thorpe Al Last Gets
 Chance To Play Regularly
Indian Star Has Been Taken Over by BraVeS-Other News
 From Busy Diamond.

Jim Thorpe, recently sold by the New York Giants to the Boston Braves now has an opportunity which he has long sought-that of being able to play regularly. The Indian was ac- quired by the Boston team 70 replace ono of the clubs light hitting out fielders. Thorpe never made much of an impression in New York as a con- sistent hitter, chiefly for the reason that he didn't have a chance to play regularly, but during his stay in Gin cinatti in 1917 he swatted the ball at a .270 clip, though his failure to connect with the leather to any de- gree of regularity in twenty-siX games with the Giants pulled his mark for the entire season down to .237. This spring Thorpe has been hitting safe ly more frequently than ever 7efore in his career as a Giant, and it is quite possible that he will make a valuable man for the Boston club.

Eddie Cicotte is the second oldest pitcher AA the American League as re- gardS continuous service, but he got away this year better than in any re- cent campaign. A year ago Eddie and victory were strangers for a long time after the season opened, though he pitched fairly good ball. So far this year his victories have been far great CT than his defeats and his work has been uniformly good. He is holding op- ponents to small scores and few hits in most of his games, and he bids fair to be as successful as he was in 1917, and perhaps even more so. Cf- cotte's work last season led to tho belief that his jor league days were almost over, but this year he has giv- en evidence that he is good for a long long time to come.

Before Clarence Mitchell of the Rob- ins entered the army his favorite prank was to initiate a tire blow out by clapping his hands as an auromo bile passed him. Nine times out of ten, so realistic was the imitation, the driver would bring his car to halt and get out to investigate, much to the delight of Mitchell. When he got into the army he tried the stunt, but not very often- One day he gave an mi tation as an army car passed by and it was successful. The car stopped and a major stepped out. Not finding a blow out and spying Mitchell watch ing him with great interest, he threat ened to court martial him if he tried the prank again. That cured Mitchelrs desire to see any more army cars stop.

ID LILY KELLY, also of Com D mander Ross stable, is eligible to take part in the Latonia Derby. but Trainer Bedwell the other day said while down at Belmont that that horse would be kept out. They in tend holding Billy Kelly in reserve for the sprint races. All of which is O very capital Idea.
 Billy Kelly Is @ splendid horse. We have seen better, but he is one of thosSr kind that a jockey can take ciohg without becoming harsh. Were not this a fact Billy Kelly would never have come through a winner In that sensational race at Belmont last Friday afternoon.

c P1iAKING of Loftus reminds us
 | that he will be a very busy chap now that Jockey Sande, of, the Ross combination, has been suspended by the stewards of the Southern track. Sande was accused of having tried to prevent Lillian Shaw from winning by seizing her bridle in the Oaks Handicap.
 The selection of Loftus to ride Sir Barton In the Latonia Derby is no susprise and casts no reflection on the other jockeys under contract to Commander Ross. But one can not get away from the fact that the sus- pension of Sande is a hard blow to the Gable. In the first place 1t has forced Trainer Bedwell to change his well laid and meant plans BedweIl intended placing Sande on War Pen nant as a running mate for Sir Bar ton in the Latonia Derby.

D RovIDENCE. R. l.. may not Il finish the season as an Eastern League team. This information comes from a source very close to those who guide the destinies and pay the bills of the Grays. On Sunday the games draw fairly big crowds, but during the week the fans can be counted on ones fingers.
 The newspapers are showing ab- solutely no interest in the team and consequently the fans are divertinE the attention to the doings of the Red Sox and the Braves. So intensified has this interest In the progress of the Boston teams been that a special baseball train is run between the two cities every day.
 Now Providence fans, not satfsfie d with seeing the Beantown mon play on their home lot, are conducting a vigorous campaign to bring the teams to Rhode Island for Sunday games. Rocky Point-the old home of the Grays-is available and judging iron, what has been heard, the Red Sox and Braves will soon be playing their Monday scheduled games at Rocky Point, R. l., on Sunday afternoons.

WHAT OF CANADIAN IMPORTS

Edfo7dI from the Toronto Globe.
The last fiscal year witnessed a con-
siderable contraction both of imports
and exports intended TO meet war needs.
Articles for the army and navy imported
during the year ending March 81 last
stood at s5o.704 900. which represents a
decline OF $50, o0O. 900 from me record OF
the previous year. On the other hand
the sudden Stoppage OF contracts for
war materials 10 be sent 10 Great Brit
ain and the United States was one of
the greatest Industrial shocks expert
enced by this country. The end OF the
fiscal year found Canada well on the
way toward peace basis. Both i'm
ports and exports have recently shown
substantial shrinksge as compared
with the months when the totals were
swollen by the movement of commodities
directly or indirectly connected with mil
itAry activities.
II appears TO be inevitable that the
sales Of Canadian products abroad In
the coming months and years will fall
considerably below tho records for the
period when war trade was at its apex.
1t follows as a corollary that the Do
minion's consumption OF foreign Yner-
chandise must be reduced at the same
time IL the total OF imports is not TO
exceed exports.
There is little doubt that Canada can
be made more independent of outside
sources OF supply for a number of i'm
portant materials. The steel Industry
OF this country will be placed on a new
basis with the completion of the con-
struction of the subsidiary plant of the
United States Steel Corporation at Ojib-
way, Ontario This may be- counted
upon TO lessen the amount OF iron and
steel imports very considerably. The
total imports under this category for the
fiscal year ending March. 1918, amounted
to s162.61s,059, which is approximately
two and n third millions In excess of the
record for the preceding twelve months

ST. JOHN SOON TO Be
ANOTHER LIVERPOOL
DECENTRALIZATION Of Port viii
Realize Dream of Years for
New Brunswick.
Special Despdfch 10 TEE srx.

OTTAWA. May 26-The dream OF ST
John, y. b, 10 become the Liverpool
OF America" is at last about 10 40
realized. 1t was officially announced
here to-day that the Dominion Govern
ment has definitely decided to take over
and nationalist the port, and legislation
10 this effect. now under preparation by
the Cabinet. will be introduced in Parlia-
ment Immediately upon the return OF Sir
Robert Borden.
The exact amount TO be paid by the
Government to the city for the acquire
neh OF the port has not yet been de-
termined. The Government has made an
ofrer OF $4,000 900, but the city authori-
ties are holding out for s2,25O. 900.
which, in point OF fact. is $3.50, 900 less
than the city has expended In developing
and maintaining the harbor. It is alto
gether likely that a compromise will be
reached and that the price fixed upon
will be S2.l2500O.
With the NATURALIZATION OF this port
by the Government st. John bids fair to
become one OF the great harbors OF the
North American continent. At the pres
ent time the port is undergoing vast de-
velnpment Shipping facilities are being
constructed on large scale, including
the dredging Of what Is known as
Courtenay Bay. and new dry dock is
being built at a cost OF S5,50o.000. This
dry dock. which under the contract will
be completed in the summer OF 1922,
will be able to accommoda te the largest
ship afioat day.
According 10 the Hon. F. r. Carvell
who. as Minister of Public Works, has
the project under his personal supervi-
sion-it will be In fact one OF the largest
dry docks IN existence. II will be 1850
feet in length, 1875 feet wide. 100 feet on
the sill, and viii have 40 feet OF water at
high tide.
There are only three dry docks on
the American continent that will at all
compare with IT." said Mr. Carvell IN
discussing the matter to-day. First,
the ChAmplain dry dock at Lewis; sec
ondly, the dock at Boston, and, thirdly,
the dock at the Atlantic entrance TO the
Panama Canal.
Taken all in al. 81. John, when this
work is completed. will he one of the
finest harbors in the world. There is
more business done at the port Of st.
John than in any other port OF Canada
except Montreal. In the last wear its
business totalled the great amount Of
1921, 100000. and since the signing OF
the armistice goods TO the value of more
than $1S5. 900. 900 have been brought into
or shipped out OF it."
When St John Is nationalized Il will,
II Is understood. be administered by
similar TO that which exists
In the case of Montreal-which is to say
that 1t will be taken care of by a body
appointed by and responsible to the
Dominion Government
