The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-05-13

Chief Meyers. formerly of Philadel- phia, will be here at the helm of the New Haven contingent, rejuvenated and determined to plant the cham pionship in the Elm City. The h. dtan's team sprang a surprise yester- day by defeating the Yale Varsity nine in the annual struggle between the two. Magnate George Weiss, new owner of the New Haven club, is a baseball enthusiast of the highest class. He will furnish New Haven with a strong team if money can ac- complish such @ thing.
 Tomorrow TiIlman, who started the game for the New Haveners yester- day, will be sent on tbe mound. Tillie Is consistent twirler with a large variety of blenders.
 The entire Washington Tank series might have been postponed as far as it affected the standing of the clubs As result of two postponements and two ties here the Yankees and Sena- tors will play 10 successive games with each other between July l and July '. The two clubs play in Wash ington July l, and B. Then they double back to New York for morn ing and afternoon games on July 4. One postpOnement will be played off as part of double header on Satur- day, July 5. Another postpUnement will be played off as a single game on Sunday, July 6. and another double header is on for Monday, July '. But suppose the Tanks and Senators cos tinue their serial They already have gone 27 innings without either team showing any superiority.
 The crack Western teams of the National League will make their first appearance in the city this afternoon Mitcheu's Cubs, National League champions, will appear on the Polo Grounds, while over in Ebbets Field Flatbush, the Dodgers will battle with Moran's sensational Cincinnati Reds for the league leadership. The Tanks have day off. as they don't leave for Detroit until in the afternoon.
 Brooklyn can beat lot of clubs
 in the National League, but when
 it comes to trying conclusions
 with those tough boys from
 Manhattan-the Tanks and the
 Giants-most terrible things hap
 pen to Uncle Robby's gladiators.
 The Tanks bumped them over 10
 times in 13 tries on their train
 ing season, and the Giants just
 have licked them two straight.
 The Dodger percentage against
 Manhattan this spring is hardly
 discernable to the naked eye
 200, to be exact.
 Having nothing to do yesterday, George Stallings, manager of the Braves, just naturally had to go look up a ball game. With George Wash ington Grant, Stallings watched the Yank-Senator tie on the Polo Grounds, though he didn't stick for the finish. Haven't had so much fun for a long time" said the Big Chief Tt does one good to get back here in the stand and hear what boys who pay the freight have to say. And the most enjoyable part of it is you don't care a rap what hapens"
 With Clark Griffith managing Washington and George Stallings looking on the Ancient Order of ex- Yankee Managers was well represent ed.
 Maximilian Canarius. who, by com mon consent. has melted his name down to Max Carey, had a rather merry time with Claude Hendrix, the ex-Pirate star, who pitched his first game of the season for the Cubs Claude and the Cub owners had difficult time agreeing on salary last spring, so difficult in fact that Hen
 
 training trip and stayed there until Mitchell summoned him. But every thing is fixed up nicely now, so Carey welcomed back his former team mate to Pittsburg by rapping him for a single, double and triple. How did he come to overlook the homer?
 History repeats itself in base
 ball as well as in world politics.
 Last spring after the Dodgers lost
 their first nine games the Giants
 broke their losing streak for
 them. This spring after the
 Braves lost their first nine games
 the Giants again were wiling to
 appease suffering and lost a game to Boston. The moral connect
 ed with this is: If you have lost
 nine straight games and want
 help see MT. McGraw.
 Tanks are gone for a long, long time. They don't show again on the Polo Grounds until June 5, when they entertain the White. Sox. Things haven't broke particularly we'll with the Huggins bunch here this spring. Four games were scheduled with the Red Sox They lost the first and it rained the next threo days. They won two out of three from the Ath- letics. With Washington. they had two postponements and two ties. giv- ing total of two games won at home, two lost, two tied and five postponed.
