Alex Ferguson, EX-American
 Pitcher, Makes Good In A. A.
 And May Join N. Y. Yankees
Toledo Hurler Will Be Recall ed by Huggins-Cravath Sue ceedS Jack Coonbs - Base ball News.

Alex Ferguson may soon be back with the Yankees, if plans outlined by Manager Miller Hugginc materialize. During the past six weeks Alex has been literally burning up the Ameri- can Association with his twirling feats as mainstay for the Toledo club. Although Alex got away to a. bad start ,he soon found himself with the result that since the last week in May he has been winning consistently and no surprise will be ocass.Jaed if he is back with the New York Americans before the expiration of the season.
 So consistent has been his pitching anu so spectacular have. been the viz tories that he has made possible that Manager Huggins has decided to re- call the player from Toledo, which is d farm for the New York Americans. His pitching has been the outsta nding feature of the American Association championship race and Miller, having heard that three or four major league scouts have been secretly nego plating with and looking over the player, has reached the conclusion that he can find a place for him to fill on his own team.
 News of Alex Fereuson's success will no doubt bring much pleasure to his many friends here for while a member of the Bridgeport club, he twirled spectacular ball. F7ergie has many friends in Bridgeport and these predicted that he would make good in the majors. Considerable trouble arose over the ownership of the play CTS services between the Yankees and Clark r. Lane of the Americans. The latter contended that the twirler had only been loaned" to the Yankees and that he was Bridgeport property, but the National Commission ruled otherwise.
 Speaking of Ferguson reminds the writer that Roger Bresnahan, the popular former major league back stop, has already lost S25,000 in base ball. Roger is owner and manager of the Toledo club and has served as sCSn for the past year and a half The war cut an awful hole in Rogers roll with the result that his handbook showed but a small balance at the outset of the present season How ever, few friends advanced him some money and he decided to make another try
 Inability to hit at opportune time and poor base running has been the
 
 last place in the American race. Toledo fans have refused to turn out at the games and indications point to am even greater loss when the books TOT the season are completed. Already Organized Baseball has been appealed To, tor according to the latest reports, Bresnahan is sadly in need of funds His personal fortune has already been exhausted.
 Waterbury's inability to hit with men on the bases gave Worcester l to victory yesterday. Waterbury threw away many chances to score. in the secocd the bases being loaded with no tally resulting. Worcester made only four scattered hits off Craig, who displayed wonderful con- trol. Hank Schreiber repeated Mon days feat of making three errors, and was benched in the eighth, this be- ing the first time that he has not played the whole game this year.
 Hartford defeated Springfield twice. to ,, and 12 to II, in two exciting ga mes. The first was more or less of F tchers' battle with Dan Sherman having the edge on Miller and his mates hitting at opportune moments The second game was unique in that practically every kind of baseball was injected Springfields II errors were costly but the constant switching of the lead from one side to the other kept the fans or edge throughout
 After a stormy interview with Will liam F. Baker, owner of the Philadel- phia National League Club, Jack tion. Including yesterdays game, neral and is prepared to so any where---within the six-cent carfare zone---to see that full justice is done to the outgoing.
