Neither does 1t cast any light on the move, which was not de- cided upon until late yesterday after noon.
 The club officials have right along seemed satisfied with the work of Mitterling and there were very few who even dared predict a release for Mitterling. True yesterday his per formance waS not satisfactory, but he did loom up as a promising out fielder and had he been given chance he would have developed into a most helpful player. Manager Grimes himself seemed well pleased with the lad, for he made no effort to substitute someone for him in the five games that have already been played.

THE most important heavyweight bout brought 10 Bridgeport in

THE most important heavyweight bout brought 10 Bridgeport in many day will be promoted by Terry Lee and his Pembroke A. c. at . the Casino on Monday night when Kid Norfolk, the Panama negro, tackles Larry Williams of this city in an eight-rounder. A better match is hard to find these days. The two should furnish an exciting affair, for the colored gent is one who never stalls. but who persistently tries to pave the way for knockout.
 Larry Williams. appreciative of the ability of the colored man. is training faithfully in New York, but will re- turn Friday and finish his work hero The Kid and Larry are bitter oppon- ents. Both have hard socks and 1t will be a question of beating the other fellow to the punch, which tends to indicate that the battle will be alou z the slugging lines - something that one seldom sees when heavyweights are concerned.
 Terry Lee showed wonderful judg- ment when he hitched this pair. for Norfolk is perhaps the best colored heavyweight in the game, while Will Hams is the most promising of the white folks. Local fans are making the colored man to 4 favorite. but these odds will probably be raised to an even basis upon the local heavy weights return.

Americans Invade Pony Field Today After Hard
 Walloping From Grays
Rain, However, Threatens to Bring About POstponement- Tyler Pitches No-Hit, No-Rum Game.

Marred by objectionable errors on the part of both teams but featured by a pitching duel in which Horne of the opposition came out winner, the Bridgeporters yesterday fell victims to the Providence Grays in 12-inn- ing game by the score Of ' to 5. To- day the locals are trodding on the battlegrounds of the ngfie1d club and will be away from familiar sur roundings until next Sunday after noon when they will tackle the Hart ford aggregation at Newfeld Park.
 The Grays pulled out of town this morning minus three players, Mitter ling, Andy Vim and Mccormack. The three were internationally released immediately after yesterdays clash. Eddie Kelly, a semi-pro from the wilds of Jersey, will today be seen ir right field for the Park City gla dia- tors. Marty Walsh will, in all prob ability, hurl today's game-providing the weather is favorable. Latest re ports from Springfield have 1t tha the weather there is anything but ideal for baseball today.
 For some reason or other no um- pire was assigned to yesterdays game and the clubs had to make use of Ralph Mulrennan, the Providence pI..uer, who worked win the New I4ondons, several seasons ago, and whp is well known here, and Marty Walsh, the Bridgeport pitcher. Taking everything into consideration the two did good work. Anyway, each earn ed the $5 given by the club, for in this circuit umpires receive s10 per day.
 It was far from being a, spectacular battle, even though the game did travel 12 rounds. Frequent errors made 1t a lonesome game. Something g like 400 paid admissions were re- corded at the box office, all of which indicates that the crowds will come. This attendance, considering the poor weather conditions under which the game was played, promises good tid- ings for the Bridgeporters.
 The Providence pitcher while not pitching spectacular ball, bested his opponent. Eddie Lennon went well until the seventh inning, when four .Grays crossed the pan. This was toe much for Manager Grimes and he yanked him, but Shield was helpless on account of the wretched support given him.
 It was in the 18th that the game was busted" Donahue led off with a single, but was forced at second by Denny Gearin. Cooney followed with g, healthy single to right, but the pill should have not got more than a base for the batter. However. Nit terling let the ball roll between his legs and Gearin came home with the tally that put Providence in the lead $ to 5. Dameron also singled and Cooney came home, when Sweat fore ed Dameron out at second, Tai to Baker. Sweatt closed the session by being thrown out while trying to pill fer his way to second.

Bill Tyler. who lasted but one
 inning against Worcester here
 Sunday, came back with a ven
 geance yesterday and turned in a
 no-hit-no-run game over Wat
 terbury in the final game of the
 week on Savin Rock grounds. To
 pitch a no-hit game-which is
 the acme of pitching skill-is the
 ambition of every pitcher, but
 few realize it. In all of the ma
 jor league history of 47 years
 there have been only 92 no-hit
 games pitchtd, and some of the
 greatest pitchers of the different
 decades of baseball have never
 entered this particular Hall Of
 Fame, although many of them
 have come as close as possible.
 pitching one-hit games and some / times they have had the cup
 dashed from their lips just as
 they were sure of quavng it.
 Needless to say, New Haven through Tyler's phenomenal work managed to win the game, but it was by the narrowest margin possible ir baseball, the final figures registering l to 0. The victory and Hartford's subsequent loss pushed the locals up
  wheel, and today they will invade Worcester with renewed confid o1 topping the league leaders. Tester da+s game was one of the best soer on the local grounds in many seasons the pitching being uniformly good and the fielding faultless. It re- quired but one hour and 40 minutes to decide the issue.
 Tyler pitched almost perfect
 ball, in addition to his no-hit per
 formance he famed eleven bat
 ters and yielded nothing that
 even resembled a base hit. Only
 29 batters faced him, Hinch-
 man and Flynn, the Waterbury
 veterans. beirg the only men to
 reach first base wheH the local
 pitcher lost temporary control
 of the ball and passed two in
 the seventh and eighth innings.
 Tyler got away most suspicious
 ly, flaming the first three men
 to face him in the opening stan
 Za- He followed up this ad-
 vantage by retiring the visitors
 in rapid succession over a
 stretch of six innings. Chief
 Meyers, who has been showing
 none too well behind the bat, ac-
 corded Tyler wonderful support.
 One of Dan O'Neirs prize um- pires, Corrisan by name. came near putting a ,damper on the perform ance in the ninth inning. After Ty- Ter had forced Murphy. pinch hitter to the ground for the first out, Porter strolled ito bat.

E DDIE KELLEY, who managed a k semi-pro team in New Jersey last season and whose home is in Philly, will replace Mitterling in the outfeld, it is supposed. The Philadelphian Is a clever little player and should be retained by the local club, but not at the expense of Mitterling. As d mat ter of fact Kelley had been elected to be let out Just before the game yes terday afternoon Eddie WIS informed that he could lind a job in Hartford. Something happened, however, dur ing the game and Grimes underwent a sudden change of mind and with drew Eddie's unconditional release and passed 1t along to Mitterling.
 Mitterling. however, will have no trouble getting hooked with some other club, for he Is promising player. He Is by no means what can be termed a very good hitter. Yet he will improve. As an outfielder he is most acceptable. Three Eastern League teams today bid for his ser vices.

CPEAKING of the Kid Norfolk - Larry Williams battle prompts us to say. after a careful study of the card. that the bouts that the Penn broke A.C. has arranged for the fans for next Monday night constitute an even more promising and better schedule than that that was offered for the approval of Bridgeporters last week. Every battle on the bill is a main attraction in itself. There isn't stranger on the card. Every man has proven his mettle and found ab- xoiuely O. k.
 Pete Hartley and Louis Bogash, for instance, placed at the top of any card, could alone be depended upon to jam any hall. Hartley is working like a beaver and should give Bogash the hardest battle of his career. The two are bitter rivals and there is ns stalling or letups when they once get into the squared arena. And what featherweight boys in this state could be compared with that between Sap per Conan and Mickey Trayers of this city?

nED ALLEN does not want a mana N ger. Like Battling Kunz and a lot other foolish boxers we have in mind, Red is getting moncy-'--f f and cannot trust any one. Win 70, this world Is all wrong and all these living in it are crooked. Perhaps if Allen were a bit more considerate of the other fellow. he would find tle road to success a much clearer ole, but as 1t is he can't see anyone at all and has announced that from now on he will be his own manager. which marks the beginning of the end of the clever West Slider.

 Jack Dempsey began his training here yesterday in his new camp on the shores of Maumes Bay, prepara- tory to the biz battle with Jess Will lard at Bayview Park on July 1.

 Dempsey's new quarters are in a big 14-roon structure used as a. club by some of Toleldo's most prominent families and they have given up their privileges in favor of Dempsey. There are great lounging rooms, wind screened porches and bathing beach, which make the location an ideal one for training purposes. An outdoor gymnasium will be constructed at once for the challenger.
