Bridgeporters Allowed Only Three Hits-Return Home Tomorrow Morning for Game With Hartford at NeWfield Park.

That which the Americans hopei and hoped against has happened
 Today the Bridgeport club found it. self occupying fifth place among the teams in the Eastern League. And 1t all came about through a to defeat sustained by the local gents at the hands of Pitcher Herbst of the Water bury team in a game played in the Brass City yesterday afternoon.
 Tuesday had been a very disastrous day for Herbst at Newfieldi Park here as the locals slammed him out of the box in the seventh inning, when the Americans counted six times, enough to win the game. But 1t was apparent then that Herbst was too much for Bridgeport. Up to that seventh frame he had held the locals at bay to 0 and there were those who saw the game who believed that had Jack Flynn kept Herbst in the box, the Brass City workers would have won. But it matters little what happened last Tuesday, for the very good reason that neither Herbst nor his team mates are worrying over that fact. They both secured revenge at home yesterday and 1t was 8 hard drubbing Bridgeport received, too, for Herbst, pitching the canbre of ball that wins four out of every five games allowed the opposition only three scattered hits. These were corraled by Baker, Kelly and Herring.
 The Eastern League has housed | many interesting pitching exhibitions | this season, but Herbsts feat yester- day was a revelation to Waterbury fans, for it came totally unexpected after Tuesdays game. The Water iburian hurler was strong and steady and accurate. He completely out | ches- hi rit- rx-h@
 touched for nine hits and seven lpasses. Herbst walked two men, and struck out three others. Every Wa | teIIbury batter was retired by field
 plays. Herring being unable to fan a single player.
 Timely hitting together with excel
 lent base running gave the Waterbury crowd five runs. Herbst, in addition
 to pitching a good game, batted .667,
 hitting twice out of three trips to the
 bag. Porter and Leary also got a
 brace of clean singles apiece.
 l Tho Bridgeport contingent lacked | initiative yesterday. Its defence while
 fairly good was slow and the game | Jagged. Braun at short missed a roller
 that he should have easily taken into l possession. Ray Grimes at first had
 anything but a strenuous time at the | initial station, but had to give way to | his kid brother in the seventh inning
 for taking exceptions to decisions
 made by Umpire Kitty Bransfield. In that session Ray did not just like
 ''Kitty's" decision on a pitch while
 he was batting. And he didn't hesi-
 tate to tell the umpire who instructed 1 him to remain silent. This Grimes re- | fused to do and he was ordered of
 the field Under protest and grum- bling threats at the arbiter he
 emerged from the field, much to the l surprise of the fans.

Dempsey is a good, little man. which he would be compared to a man of Wi1lard's size, he could not win. Take the case of Tommy Burns and John son. for Instance. Burns was good. but Johnson was that much better.
 What Willard's condition will be or the day of the fight remains to be seen, I am only talking from the way his condition appeared to me yester- day. He may overtrain. That is a thing that will be up to his trainers to look out for. In his anxiety to de- velop speed he is apt to forget his vitality and sacrifice 1t for speed. I would like to see Willard win, and I think he will. know Jess and he is a good fellow. I knew him before he won the title and he Is the same good fellow today that he was then. regardless of the reports that have been circulated throughout the coun- try He Is in the money today and he is showing good judgment by hanging onto 1t.
