Before the largest crowd that ever attended a soccer game in this coun- try at Fall River, Mass, the Bethle- hem team won Lhe championship of the United States Football associa- ton for the fourth time in five sea- sons by beating the Paterson team in the final round by the score of two goals to none. Several of the lead ing newspapers differ in regards to the attendance; some figure it as low as 5000 and some as high as 10000. but the actual figures for the game were S,S06 and the gate receipts were a few cents short of $5,00O. The ground itself was not an ideal one for such a game as hundreds were unable to see the game while hun dreds secured pass out checks to run to the nearby stores and clear them out in any kinds of empty boxes and tin cans. Some even went so far as to bring their own chairs. Although the game did not start until 3:15. the ground was practically full by ? o'clock Such a scene has never been witnessed in this country before as both teams were neutral to the dis trict. one coming from Pennsylvania and the other from New Jersey
 Although the Bethlehems won by the margin of a couple of goals it does not represent the run of the play as tho Paterson team played wonder fuI ball Tn the first half and were in the vicinity of the Bethlehem goal time after time, and had 1t not been for the fine defense of Wilson and Ferguson, the Paterson team would have been the national champions to- day. To add to the Paterson tale of woe, Hunziker, who had played such a greata game in the first half was seriously injured and in the sec ond half was a complete failure as was played at outside left forward
 Brow~. the outside left of the team. was also injured and he also was a ''passenger'' on the team With the loss of these two players it was only to be expected that the Bethlehems

 The crowd was a, partisan one as Paterson was a favorite with the fans and were given a rousing reception when they entered the field while the cheer for the BethIehems could not
 Yesterday afternoon at the Meadows. the Thistles of this city were defea ted by the Manchester team in the first game of the seni-fna1 round of the State Cup competition by the only goal scored The result of this game means that when the teams meet again on Sunday next at South Man chester, the home team will start the game with this goal lead and the win ner will have to play the winner Of the City-Swedish F. c. game in the firaI tie.
 The game was one of the most eX- citing of the season as it was tip and go during the whole of 90 min utes that the game was in progress and it was anyone's game until the final whistle sounded for time Both sides missed glorious chances to ccore. The feature of the game was the sound defense of both teams as time after time the teams looked all over scorers when the defense would come to the rescue and prevent a score.
 The only goal of the game was no- scored until five minutes from time when the Manchester team got away on the right wing and forced a corner kick. The ball was well placed but the defense got the ball away but it was returned to Little who sent in a shot that beat Abbott all the way.
 A fine chance ot equalizing the scores came in the last few minutes when the Thistles attacked with vigor and on one occasion from a corner kick, Waters handled the ball in the penalty area but the referee was unable to see the incident and the local team had to suffer. On

COLONIALS LOSE
 TO BRAVES; Fl
By CHARLES MCCULLOUGH,

George Weiss Coloniais of New Haven, before a large crowd at the Lighthouse yesterday afternoon, ven down to defeat before George Stall ings' Boston National League club by the score of to 1. The weather conditions were poor. but play was fairly interesting throughout. The Braves used a strong team and ha[ comparatively little trouble winning the contest.
 Stallings sent in two pitchers, George and McQuilIan. who. between them allowed the CoIonials seven hits. Chick Davis hurling for the losers was the outstanding feature of the game. The little southpaw. in spite of a lame arm, the cold weather and that he was facing q strong ma- jOr league organization. really was en- titled to victory. but the cratic play ing of his teammates who piled up five unpardOnable errors, made this play impossible.
 Neal Ball, the Bridgeport player, who played second for the Colonials. played a spectacular game In fact with the exception of the Braves stars. of whom New Haveners had heard so much he was THE star of the afternoon. He scored the only Colonial run, made two hits. one of which was two-bagger. the only long distance hit of the contest and accepted six chances without blunder- ing once.
 The Braves lined Gp first class team against the CoIonials for. inCiud- ed in their lineup was MaranvilIe Herzog,S Rawlings. Powell. Riggert Holke, Blackburne, King. TraRressor Henry George and McQuillan On the Colonial lineup was Eddie Eayrs Ball. Shay, Tanning. Meyers. Clarke Christie, F'orslund. F7aherty and Da-

Conan has retired. but he is seriously considering returning to the game. His friends, however. are advising him otherwise, for Conan of today is considerably heavier and the class he would have to invade is literally choked with splendid material.
 But Young Conan, who met among many others, Abe Atteu, who was then champion featherweight; John ny Dundee, whom he defeated in New York; Joe Shugrue of Water bury twice, Young Brown of New York, Freddie Bosse and Biz Maclley here, is not the only member of the Sharpe family to win distinction here. Besides youthful Issy there is Johnny Sharpe. a good lightweight who is so busy working for Uncle Sam at the Lake Torpedo Boat Company that he has not given any thought to return ing to the ring, although he works out with the boys at every oppor' tunity he gets. Johnny has fought 35 bouts here.
 And there are other Sharpes who never crossed the Atlantic. Harry Sharpe who stands six feet, two inches. is a heavyweight who attract eu COnSlueIdDle dLtehIOH dS St bO-\S- during the recent war, beating some of the best American and English giants who were lover there" Then there is Himie Sharpe, who is even younger than Issy Conan. Himie is but 15 years old and holds the 102- pound amateur championship of Lon don. This distinction he won at the last amateur. tournament in London. Young Himie has appeared before the exclusive Sporting Club of London and entertained thousands of soldiers on furlough in the world metropolis.

another occasion Griffin had the goal a his mercy but stumbled over the ball at the critical period while in the last minute Fisher missed final chance of scoring through want of some "ante-fat'' as he was too slow to take the opportunity.
 The Manchester team has some ca pital players in it's ranks in Webb, Cordner. Waters and Little but the latter spells his good work by too much Infringing of the rules" The players are very tricky and aggressive and should run well in the ties if they are able to beat the Thistles next week, which the local team do not think will be accomplished, as the local players are out to win.
 On the ranks of he Thistles there is also some good material on hand. the greatest display of the day was the fine performance of Daniels at Centerhalf back, this old Rovers' player certainly played a star game all the way through and he was the finest player on the field. Another player who deserves great praise for hi= abilities is Henderson, the small est player taking part in the game to- day. His display was certainly won QerLOl ana what IT eLdEF&S III lI4CHeS Le makes up for in determination and vigor. He certainly had the Man. chester right wing player bottled up all the game.
 The Thistles management has car- tainly got a couple of good and relia- bIe backs in Tidmarsh and MilNgan and these two players certainly got through 9 great deal Of good and hard work and with Abbott made up a sound defense. The weakest part of the team was the forwards and this was accounted for by the sound defense of the Manchester team.

"Sapper' Conan, A Ring And War Veteran
 Is Today Celebrating 10th Birthday
Young Boxer, Recently Back From Battlefelds of France, Has Had Expert
 ence of Middle aged Man.

T RIDGEPORT has housed. many a good battler and many a
 good battIer has either trained or made this city his home
 But today there is one little fight Ing man in this progressive munich pality who is as happy as lark.
 A mere lad he is, too. He has mans heart, though, and because of his weight and his youth fortune has donned a mans suit and has proven his mettle. Dame Fortune can no longer be kept away. And to make things better and more interesting for the lad MIR. Opportunity is rap ping invitingly at his door, prepared to point out the rocky road to suc- cess.
 This lad-Issy Conan, they call him in pugilistic circfes-is just 19 years cid today.
 But his appearance is that of a boy Of Is years.
 Yet this youngster has crowded more experience into his 19 years than the averaged man of 50. But brag about it he does not. He has faced death and he seen Dame Fortune walked smilingIy---past his doors.
 This Issy Cohan-IsraeI Sharpe is his real name-today is making the Park City his home and hardly a fan Is there in this city who does not smile at the mention of his name. Bridgeporters know what he is cap able of doing, but the skepticaI lot can not understand how a. diminutiyc chap such as he can do the damage that he has done. Tt can't be done," they say.
 But lssy has done it.
 He is a ring veteran. for he has fought almost continuously since that memorable Nov. 8, 1915-the date of his first battle with one Billy Ralph at London He was a mere child-a child In the eyes of the husky, ex- perienced boxers of those days. And Ralph was a veteran-had been in the ring for many years. But that means nothing in the eyes of one who is ambitious. And Issy had an ambition. He wanted to be cham pion. So that Nov. Sth in 1915 he fought so well and surprised even Ralph's most enthusiastic and persis- tent admirers and boosters by holding this experienced veteran to a draw.
 That was the beginning of Issy's career as a pugilist. The name pug Hist seems hardly appropriate when one bears in mind the youth and gen eraI appearance of this Iad-for the average American he looks like a lad who is at his best buried in book reading. A gentIemanly sort O chap he is.
 But fighting comes natural to this youth.
 He comes of a, fighting stock Six boys were born to the happy MT. and Mrs. Samuel Sharpe of London, Eng land. And each of these turned to boxing and fighting, for four of them have not only seen ring service, but have also participated in the great world war.
 Perhaps best known of the Sharpe family so far as America is concern ed is Young Conan of England. who three years ago was forcing many of the best bantamweights and feather weights down the toboggan. Young

N NE of the most memora ble dates O in baseball was April P, 1898, just twenty-one years ago tomorrow, when two no-hit games were pitch ed in the National League Jay Highes of Baltimore, then in the Ma tional League Circuit, blanlled the Bostons while Theodore Breitenstein, the once great twirler. turned the same trick on the Pirates on that great day. Breienstein at that time wore a Cincinnati uniform. That was the second time in their history that the Buccaneers had been trOunced without getting a hit.
 There have been sixty-one nO-hit games played in the major lea Eues a little over half in the National Lea que, while the others are divided be- tween the American Association not the present organization of that name. but the old major A. A-the old Players League. and the Ameri- can League. !. Lee Richmond was, so far as the records show, the first jor league pitcher to turn the no hit trick. That was in 1880. when Richmond was on the pitching staff

Long af- ter other players had discarded the hirsuite appendages, "Jiggs" clung to his facial ornament The great first baseman was led to dispense with the beard by an incident that occurred in Nashville. Tenn.
 The outer garden of the Nashville grounds was overgrown with bushes and brambles, and "Jiggs" was sta tioned in right field during an exhi- bition game. He chased a long fly into the thicket. caught his right foot on something, and dived head first into the mass of thorny bushes Most Or his whiskcrs had 70 be cut off be- fore he could be eXtricated. and af- CT that "Jigs" visited the barber regularly
 While the beard was tabooed after that. many players continued 10 sport mustaches. Jim O'Rourke, of the Giants, and Fred Titus. of the Phfllies. were perhaps the last dia- mond stars to wear brushes on their upper lips.

ONE of the longest professional O% careers on record was com menced thirty-four years ago next Sunday, when Billy Hart twirled his first game for Chattanooga. in the Southern League. In 1910 Hart end ed his career where he commenced it in Chattanooga.
 During twenty-five years the great t pitcher played in both major leagues and most of the big minors, and es- tablished a come back record. After playing with Chattanooga. Lincoln, Neb-, Des Moines. Sioux City and Buffalo. Hart broke into the majors in 1892, with the Brooklyn Nationals. In 1894 he was sent back to Sioux City, but the following year found him back in the National League, this time with Pittsburgh.
 After two years with St Louis he returned to the Smoky City in 1898, and the next year was with Mil waukee, back in the Western League. In 1900 he made his American Lea que debut. with Cleveland, but was banned again in 1902, and in that and the following year pitched for Peoria After three years as an umpire. he went back 10 his first love, the South ern League. twirling three seasons for little Rock before going to Chattanooga, in 1910, to finish his career.

NH1S is the seventeenth birthday
 A of the St. Louis Browns, as the Mound City club pulled off it's first pastime in the American League. The present day Browns are the success ors in name, if not in ability to win pennants, of the old St. Louis Browns who flourished Tn the old American Association days. Charley ,Comiskey. now the owner of the Chicago White SoX. was the first baseman Of the old Browns. Later he became manager of the Cincinnati Reds. The old Roman helped Ban Johnson to launch the Western Lea que, which grew into the American League.
 St. Louis has had a long and var jed experience in major league base ball. The Missouri metropolis was a charter member of the National Lea que when it was launched in 1878. but dropped out after a couple of years. The old American Association a major league which flourished from 1882 to 1891, claimed the al Iegiance of St. Louis fans. and the club captured four pennants in & row. beginning with 1885, and took part in four worlds series with Ma JiunaI League clubs. In 1884 St. Louis won the flag of the Union As- sociation, an outlaw major circuit. and could doubtless have won the worlds title of the Providence team, the National League leader and the winner of the worlds series with the New York Metropolitans of the American Association, had been will L.. 10 meet the outlaws.
 St. Louis was restored to the Ma tional League in 1885 and 1888, but was then dropped again, and did not come back into the National fold un- til 1892. The St. Louis Nationals have never finished better than third place which they achieved In 1876 and 1914.
 The St Louis Browns of the Amer ican League finished second in 1902, the year they entered the league. In the following five years the Browns were a second division club. Tn 1908 they managed to finish in fourth place but since then they have helped to fatten the averages of the other clubs.

For plausible reasons, this reduction does not augur well for the present condition of harness racing and its prospects for the coming season. as no matter how optimistic certain eIe- ments connected with it are or pre- sent their ideas to the horse public the fact remains that there would have been no lessening of purse amounts, except for unavoidable causes. which make track managers extremely doubtful of the numbers of entries to balance accounts on the regular old-fashion plan

Fifteen Years Ago Great Stanley ketchell Fought
 D7aW With ''Rud'' EiInz
Veteran Recalls Famous Battle at Miles City, Mont Glimpse Into Sporting Events of Good Old
 Days Gone By
IT WILL be fifteen years ago

\ T WILL be fifteen years ago to- A rIcrrow since Stanley Ketchel and Rudolph Hing fought a twcn- ty-round draw at Miles City. Mont At that period of his career Ketch- cl was a jack of all trades in Mon tana and fighting was only one of his many side lines. He was then seV- enteen years old and had never had any instruction in the art of boxing, and all he knew he had picked up for himself.
 In Hing he met a fuu-fedged heavyweight, for Rudolph was a bur ly miner who outweighed the "Ketch- el I<id' by nearly fifty pounds. In spite of this great disparity in weight, and KetcheFs extreme youth and inexperience, he held the big feI low to a draw in q terrific sIugging contest that went to twenty rounds.
 Ketchel remained in Montana two years after that, and fought all the best men in that section, regardless of weight, height or experience. In all that period he was defeated only by Maurice Thompson, and of the thirty-five bouts he fought in Mon tana as a boy, he won all but four by knockouts. KetcheI weighed only TO pounds when he fought Hing, but he soon took on weight and was a middleweight when he went to Cali fornia to begin his career in earn est.
