BURNS HITTING
 AND PITCHING
 ARE FEATURES

By their to victory over the Knights of Columbus on Saturday af- ternoon at Newfield park, the Blessed Sacraments are now leading the City League race. Previous to this the two teams were tied at seven games won and five games lost.
 It Nas a hot and interesting game, full Of peppery and brilliant plays, and the pitching and hitting of Mellow of the game.
 In the last inning with the score four all, Delmore of the Sacraments, first up, was given a free pass and went to second on Guerrin's scratch hit to the box. Mellow Burns then poled out a triple, thus winning the game.
 The Kaseys made Il bingles to the
 victor'S six, but they were scattered when they meant runs. Delmores fielding at shortstop and the hitting of Dunn featured. The
 Blessed SacramentS were awarded a
 large silver loving cup for winning
 the game and the kaseys were
 awarded one for playing the best all around game.
 It's almost a. sure thing now that the Sacraments will remain City League champions this season. Be- cause of their victory on Saturday over the Kaseys and their victory yesterday at Seaside park over the Red Sox.
 Yesterday they took the Red Sox measure to 2. Pitcher Farrell of the Sacraments was in great form, yielding but six bingles. The two runs made by the Red Hose were due chiefly to errors in the fourth session. The Sacraments earned their three runs in the fifth, seventh and eighth Innings. Mullaney, first baseman for the Sac raments, featured the game with put | outs without slip.
 The Rosebud Colts won and lost yesterday at Seaside park. In the first contest they took the Red Sox
 into camp to 3. and in the final con- 1 test they, lost their game to the | Knights of Columbus Il to 7. The | game was forfeited to the Kaseys at 1 the end of four and a half innings, 1 when the Rosebuds could not con- l tinue the game with eight men, as one ] of the players weakened and the Colts I had no substitutes.
 | Before a large and enthusiastic
 crowd of 5000 the Waysides defeated | the Belmonts in the second game of | the series. The two teams are playing a series | of two victories out of three for the 1 championship Of the league. Both teams have one victory and its next | Sundays game that decides the cham 1 rioRship. The winner of the series
 will play the champions of the City l League

fairs, and Harry Stout will be the third man in the ring for the final.
 Despite the assertion of Morgan last night that Stout was a capable and strictly on the level referee there are a number of the fight fans in thiS city who will watch the outcome of tonight's battle for the champion ship with a lot of skeptica1 feelings. Be what the decision is though it will be an almost two to one shot that Bogash will have to step every min- ute that he is in there and unless he gets a chance to hang over a Mary Anne'' there is not much chance of Bridgeport having a champion. Those who saw Britton pummel Palitz around the ring at the Hartford show not long back are of the opinion that he will handle the Flushing Bridegroom in the same way. BMtton is a. real champion and when he gets in the ring he is all business and loses no time in getting into action. Besides Jack is tireless and fights all the way for points. His open work in the ring has always been the joy of the fans who watches him in action as every move he makes is graceful and can be seen from any point in the arena due to stand-off way in which he works.
 Connie Lewis has reported the heaviest sale of advanced tickets that has ever been sold in this city. Extra details of police will be on the job and the crowd can help the police a whole lot if they will take things easy and lay off the rushing tactics that have featured some of the bouts in this city. So with everything in read mess and the next thing on the pro- gram the gong-Let's Go!

GYMNASTTC TEA MS-SPORTS
 Antwerp, Aug. 23.-Gymnastic teams today came into their own at the Olympic Stadium where for the last week spirited contests in field and track athletics 1fave been witnessed. Each nation entering the team events was permitted from Is to 24 gymnasts. There were also events for individuals in which each nation was permitted to enter six men. America entered only the individual events
 Each team was allowed one hour for demonstra ation. The individual events included work at free exercise without apparatus and trials on the horizontal bar, parallel bar, the rings and the horses. In addition there was a, spe- cial production for commemorative medals, which might be called a. pa rade. In these, both mems and xo- mems teams were permitted to enter, and each was allowed 45 nina1lJtes.
 Hans Kolehmainen, running for Finland, won the marathon yesterday in two hours, g minutes, 35 4-5 sec onds. Sol Organ of Pittsburgh, first American to finish, was seventh. The Americans won the 3,OO0-m etre team race and the 4oO-metre relay yesterday.
 The United States had 199 points at the start of -todays games, against s6
 for Finland and 75 for England and Sweden.
 Two decisions in the boxing prelim- fnarieS last night evoked loud jeers and dissenting cries from the Aneri- cans present, which other spectators sought to drown with misses and boo ing.

HANK BRACKETS BLOW
 WINS IN THE TWELFTH
Moosers Down Jack Flynn's S Springfield Ponies in
 Great Game.

The skeptical fans who have been helping the home team along. by all kind of knocks lately and who have been telling the entire universe that the Americans were hope1essly out of tAe pennant chase awoke feeling a little different this morning as a re- suit of yesterdays game when Ed Walsh and company took the Spring field Barristers into camp by the score of 4 to 3 after twelve snappy innings of real dyed in the wool baseball. The standing today shows that Bridgeport is right up there in a tie for second place with Jack Mack's Boosters only only two and one half games behind the Tribe, the league leaders. Now if-but let's wait and see!
 Yesterdays game at the Newfie1d greensward was all that a fan could desire in the way of action, thrills and all the other stuff that goes to make a good game of baseball The Ponies jumped away to an early lead when they scored one in the first. Singles by Johnson and Goebe1 and a, blow to center by Manager Flynn which scored Johnson put over the first tally. In the sixth the Moosers started a barrage on the elusive sphere and crossed the old rubber three times. Emerick made the in- itia1 sack on Johnson's error but Ray Grimes forced the Rabbit at second.
 Sherwood hit to center for a base
 and Ray went to third. Murray laid
 one down and Ray dashed home with
 the tieing counter. Then Kid Ken
 meth who is after his brothers laure1s
 as the new Minerva Mauler caught a fast one on the end of his wagon
 spoke and sent the old apple whiz-
 zing away to the horse gate in left
 field for a complete circuit.
 The Ponies came back in the seventh and pushed over another run
 and still another in the eighth whict sewed the old game up tighter than
 a drum. The game see sawed until the twelfth when the Americans sent the fans home to a cold supper with the victory in their mitts. Ker Grimes started the fireworks with Q single to right but was out at second when Musser's bunt forced him Runners sacrifice advanced him to second and he was also safe when Morgan threw to second just a sec. ond too late in a close play. Mussel was out at third when Lai hit tc Becker who tagged the base for 2 force out. Then with the game hang ing in the balance old reliable Hank Bracket who had been idle all after noon as far as hitting one out was concerned got a hold of the old apple and sent out a, stinging double to the Bull sign which enabled Hummer tc cross the home plate with the win | ming counter" Tie figures and how | they did it follow:

Like life itself, pugilisn has its up and downs. And by this dull comparl- son-nlore p4ctur esque.
 For perhaps never before in the his tory of sport has Dame Fortune sing led out two athletes and capriciously interwoven and moulded ring and worldly careers as in the case of Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson.
 Today Jeffries is respected and as- tonishingly prosperous-nearing the rnillionaire's class through successful business ventures. Jack Johnson, long a fugitive from justice. is now in the meshes of the law.
 Twenty nine years ago Jack John son, actually ''sneaked in" to see Jim Jeffries fight. It was the first time Johnson had ever seen The Grizzly perform, Jeff. at the crest of his ca reer, made Bdg Gus Ruhlin quit in five rounds. Johnson watched the cham pdon in action from a rear seat on the bleechers with Eddie Hanlon-

Jack was being groomed by the champion to succeed to the title when Jim retired.
