Colored Players Will Seek Revenge - Bridgeporters Keep on Training Base ball News.

The only open Sunday prior to the inauguration of the official baseball season at Newfeld park will be taken up by the Red Caps of Philadelphia, the very same team that the Brid ge- porters defeated on Sunday. The Americans bushes manager Jim Kelly, announced this fact this morn ing after failing to reach any definite agreement whereby a major league club would take the time to stop here.
 Better terms and indUcem ents were offered elsewhere. Every effort made by Jimmy to grab the Red Sox, who meet the New Haven team in that city on Sunday, failed, for the reason that the Barrowites had arranged to play in the Elm City earlier in the week and refused to cancel the 6n- gamement. The substitution of the Red Caps, however. is bound to make a hit with the fans, for the cOlored gents put up a splendid battle last week and can be depended upon to fight even harder this week
 It was said this morning that sew era1 new players will be brought to Bridgeport by the Red Caps for this game. Several new faces also will be noticed ;n the Bridgeport batting for since the game last Sunday no less than three players who were not with the team then have reported and have been playing good baseball The sunny weather of yesterday stirred the players to go through a busy, day of training at Newield park. Manager Grimes wasted not one minute and either had the boys batting or fielding. Sunday he will try out what new material has joined the club this week. Vim will in all ] probability be on the mound with Loan on the receiving end of the firing line.

It was a foregone conclusion that the Boston Braves would cIack their first league game some time this spring. but fans could not quite understand why it was necessary for the Giants to make the Bean Boys a present of it in New York. Boston's long row of defeats. which seemed to have no ending, came to an abrupt stop in the eleventh in ning yesterday.

Tommy Griffith, aided and abetted by Jeff Pfeffer, sent the Phillies crashing down to another defeat ip Brooklyn yesterday. The score was Brooklyn ?. Philadelphia l. A double off Tommy's bat put NIagee in posi- tton to score Brooklyn's first tally and Griffith made the second marker all by his lonesome in the third, when he lifted the ball high and dry over the right field wall for a home run. Grihth's batting and his splendid covering of the sunf1eId daily since joining the Dodgers is filling the hearts of the Brooklyn fans with sun shine.

Just now Hartford papers are tout ing InfeIder Wallace, recently ac- quired from the Phillies, as a coming star. He may be, but his recent ap- Tearances for the Phils in New York were anything but suspicious for the youngster In fact he looked pretty poor in playing his position at short.

The duel between the Bobs was a heartbreaking one, with Shawkey pitching alright ball all the way and Geary giving a lionhearted exhibition of nerve and courage in the pinches. Shawkey's support was stronger than that which the Athletics furnished Geary. who several times was placed in jeopardy by fielding hobbies of his teammates.

Manager Ed Holly devoted most of the two practice sessions indulged in yesterday by the Ponies to his pitching staff Workouts for the slab artists, both morning and aft ernoon. consisted of instructions from the manager relative to holding run ners close to bases. Thus far this is one of the weaknesses Holly has de- tected during his short time with the fingers, and that, coupled with the art of control, is one of the things he intends to harp on until satisfac- tory results are obtained.

EKTILLIE DTBBHAN of San Fran EW ciscn has faiie.I He was given

EKTILLIE N1EBHAN of San Fran SV cisco has failed He was given his first trial against Harry Greb of Pittsburgh in a 10-round bout last night and the best he could do was to take only one round. Judging from the account of the fight wired in by the Pittsburgh correspondent of The Associated Press, Meehan never had a chance and that Greb slambanged him literally to all parts of the ring.
 Meehans vict 1rH over Jack Demp- sey was the only qualification he had to meet Greb. But his showing last night proved one thing: that he cer- tainly has not improved much when he can't grab more than one round out of ten with Greb, for. the Pitts burgher is far from being a cham pion. And he admits it.
 Perhaps now that he has lost in his first appearance Billy Gibson can be coaxed into bringing the battler to this section for a match with Larry Williams. Before Willie can be taken riousJy as a contender he must first wipe out that decisive defeat he sus- tained at the hands of Williams in Philadelphia several years ago.

fhing we must admire about those who oppose Matt HinlIIe as Tefereeafor the Jess Willard-JaCk AI0enapsey battle Is that they are mighty frank about their grievances and admit that their objections arc
 based on personal disputes. Very well, but why should personal quar- re1s be forced on Tex Rickard. who is prepared to say that Matt is ths sauarest and most competent referee in the country.
 It makes no difference to Matt whether he referees or. not, for the very good reason that he does not depend on it for a livelihood But the protest of these officials" of Toledo is deTnonstrative of the depth to which some irresponsible persons wil 1sink TO harm the reputation of another. The only sad feature about boxing in Ohio Is that there are not more men like Matt TIinkle connected with It.

 Dave Hedar, the New York light weight who used to make his home in New Haven, has been instructed to appear before the New Jersey Boxing Commission to show cause why he should not be prevented from boxing in that State for failure to carry out his agreement with Match maker Jack Michigan of the Harri- son A. c. of Harrison, N. J., and meet Tommy TuOhey there last Monday night.
 Matchmaker Howie Smith inform ed writer today that he will resume his boxing entertainments at the Forest A. c. in Elizabeth. \. J., be ginning next Friday night. Today Eddie Meade agreed to a match be- tween his lightweight boxer, Harlem Eddie Kelly, and Kid Henry of New ark. They will box next Friday
 Johnny Dundee of New York will return to the ring tonight. He will meet Ritchie Mitchell in Milwaukee in a 15-round bout before Tom An drews Cream City A. c. in Milwau- kee. This should be a corkirg good battle and from all indiCati tions the New Yorker should be returned win ner, although Mitchell is a tough GUS toner.

TI OArORROW is the day of days for \ turf men, for the long expected Kentucky Derby will be decided. The field as we view it a first glance is very nifty one in every respect In it we find Billy Kelly, Eternal, Cud- gel, Vindex and Foreground. The wise birds say that Commander J. K. l.. Ross sterling gelding will romp home with the bacon, but latest re- ports from the track do not bear him out.
 True, Billy Kelly has staged a won derful comeback and just now looks like q million dollars. But these others are to be considered and it is neither fair nor logic to expect that because of the geIdings clever past performances that he will hog things tom orrOw. No doubt he has been trained for this particular race, but so have the other horses.
 From what information the writer has been able to gather on this class ic, Eternal looks as good as the best of them Here is a beaut who has always come through. He has been ever faithful to his following and granting that the track is in good condition we will look forward to him to be at the front when the end is reached. Cudgel and the others can be depended upon to make their pres ence felt.

AGED ARTIST
FOUND DEAD
IN BURLINGTON

BURLINGTON, Aug. 25--Just be-
fore midnight last night the dead
body of William c. Stacy, a retired
artist, was found in his home clutch
ing revolver in his left hand bull
let wound under his heart.
Whether the aged man died from a
self-inflicted wound OF whether he
was shot by burglar has not been
determined, but the former explain
alton is the more probable.
To substantiate the burglar theory
some silverware, spoons, sugar shell,
pitchers, etc, were found gathered
up in centerpiece on a table over
the body of the man, screen in the
east window had been taken out and
the window opened, as was bulk
head entrance into the cellar. On the
table with the gathered up silverware
were a silver vase containing some
flowers and an electric hand lantern,
one of the large portable stand-up
kind, which was lighted as was also
the Welsbach gas mantle in the chan
delier.
According to members of the fam
lily, the aged man never had any kind
of firearms in the house but went
down town Friday and might have
purchased the revolver at that time
1t was evidently new.
William Corning Stacy was born
in Burlington February 10, 1886, the
son of Henry B. Stacy and was grad
uated from the University of Yer
mont in 1859. His home for many
years was at the corner of Elmwood
avenue and Pearl streets, where he
followed the profession of an artist.
Three sisters died some years ago
and he is survived only by his wife,
who has been an invalid for many
years and to whom Mr. Stacy has
given devoted care.
