AmeI7canS Take Advantage of Every Opportunity and De- liver Goods, But the Grays Strengthen Hold on First With Double Win.

With Double Win.
 With Providence leading the pro- cession by a comfortable margin and shceduled for a series of games with the weaker clubs on the circuit, but determined, hopeful and confident that the week beginning yeste terday had brighter results in store, the Americans, runners-up in the O'Neil circuit race, today went into their sec ond game with the Boosters from strong combination and although in fourth place must be looked upon as an aggregation that is dangerous in the extreme and prepared and anxious to turn the tables.
 Although Bridgeport yesterday af- ternOon won by the score of g to S. they can expect bitter assault today, fol. Manager Mack announced this morning that he had practically de- cided to make radical changes in the lineup and send his premier hurler against the locals. He did no tcare to announce his changes, explaining that
 he was seriously thinking the matter over.
 For a holiday game yesterdy's af- fair was a treat inasn1uch as the two teams copped 22 hits---11 apiece---for
 a total of 37 bases. Kenneth Grimes, brother of Manager Grimes, was the | individual star, shooting off three pings in as many trips to the pan. Among 1 colored heavyweight at the Armory | A. A, in Jersey City next Monday | night. Williams is without question ! the most promising light heayyweight | in the game. He defeated Norfolk de-
 clsively here several weeks ago and | he should do it again.
 Eddie Meade has offers galore for i the services of his star bantamweight, | Joe Lynch, who decisively defeated | Jimmy Wilde over in England. Eddie
 is considering them all and expects to | have Lynch box at the rate of twice
 a week for the next two or three 1 months.
 | Already Lynch and Frankie Burns
 of Jersey. City have been matched for | the Armory A. A. in Jersey City on | July '. If Burns takes off weight for ] the New Yorker chances are that he will not last the eight rounds with | Lynch, for the latter has developed healthy. wallop. Anyway, it looks like
 a very fast battle.
 | A week from tonight at Troy, N. 1 Y, Frankie Burns will meet Jabez | White of Albany Frankie is work l ing hard in Portland, Me, where he | is a big favorite and where he will | soon box some good boy his weight. | Frankie should defeat the Albany l battler, although the latter is very | clever.
 1 Jack Britton, the weIterweight | champion, and his manager, Dan | Morgan, will leave today for Cum | erland Md, where that battler meets Jack Perry of Pittsburgh on next
 Thursday night. He will receive s1,- Soldier Bartdeld of New York 1 leaves for Butte, Mont, where the Soldiern1an will get himself in shape
 for his twe1ve-round decision bout
 with Battling Ortega on July 4. The comb in alton may go to the Coast | after the Ortega bout is over, as the Seattle and Portland promoters
 would like to have Bartfield play re-
 turn ersag gements, he having made a
 big hit when he was out there several | months back.
 The two rival boxing clubs of St. | Louis, the Future City A. c. and the 1 Ria1to A. C., will both stage boxing | carnivals on the Fourth of July. Tom I my Sullivan, manager of the Future | City, has leased Sportsmans Park,
 where he will stage an eight-round
