PLENTY OF ACTION
EXPECTED LABORD ~
Card Arranged By Bridgeport Athletic and Amusement
Company Brings Together Bantams, Mddleweights
and Others Well Known In Fistic Circles
Danny Powers Has Big Reputation

Fur will fly aplenty when Danny
Powers, the sensational bantam
weight, who halls from Brooklyn,
and Joe Reed, of New Jersey meet
head en- in the ring at the Open Air
Arena, Labor Day night. This will
be but one of the star bouts on the
big bill headed by Augie Rather and
Johnny Walgast, two of the country's
premier -middfewefght
Fans who complained of the lack
of pep and big action on the part
of battlers who have shown in this
city during the past year will find all
the action they want and then some
on the card which will be presen ted
by the Bridgeport Athletic and
Amusement company, Labor Day. In
fact it might be said that every one
of the star bouts will be SO crammed
full of action that it will be a hard
matter for any matchmaker to keep
the public supplied with the same
variety of gladiators in the future.
AS everyone knows Augie Rather,
gained an enviable reputation both as
a fighter in the roped arena and in
the trenches against the Germans
during the world war. He fought
and defeated the best men his weight
brought against him in Europe and
when not showing a gun with a
bayOnet on the end he was pushing
the leather for the benefit of the
wounded soldiers and the entertain
ment of his buddies worn out with
constant battling on the Western
front.
Augie is the proud possessor of a
me dal which was presented to him by
the Prince of Wales and in addition
to the many honors he secured while
abroad he won the Irish middleweight
championship.
Johnny Wolgast is a brother of AID
Wolgast, formerly lightweight cham
pion of the world, and one of the
best champions in the history of the
ring. He possesses all the great
qualities of his brother and is of the
rip roaring tear in variety of bat
tier, in action every second of the
time he is in the ring. He has not
confined his ha ttling to men in his
class either, having met and defeat
ed such men as Len Rowlands, Wild
Burt Kenny and others who would
squawk their heads off if they had
to give another two pounds in weight
Avoirdupois means nothing to VOL
CAST who goes on the theory that the
bigger they are the harder they fall
and in this respect he resembles the
late Bob Fitzsimmons who was
fighting heavies when he was in
Wolgasts division.

Major League Races

Both American and National League

SOCCER CLUBS TO.

State League Meeting Here
Decides Clubs Must Post
$50 AS Guarantee
SOME OBJECTIONS
Robertson Chosen to Referee
All Games In This City
During Season

Two soccer football meetings were
held Sunday afternoon. The State
League session was the first on the
program, which consumed a couple
of hours This was followed by
meeting of the Football Association
Clubs in the State League will have
to put up a guarantee of $50 to en-
sure fu1flment of games. Some of
the clubs represented. objected to this
amount but it went through. MAT"
Patton, the Manchester secretary. and
Sch ole1eld of the Bristol New Depart
urec lub thought the guarantee was
reasonable. The upstate clubs en-
tered the State League two seasons
ago, and after playing games away
the visiting clubs failed to put in an
appearance. This guarantee will have
to be paid by Oct. II, and clubs failing
to pay by that time, action will be
taken against them.
Eight clubs will make up the league,
New Haven, Waverleys of New Ha-
ven, Manchester. Bristol New Depart
ure, S. K. F., Ansonia. Bridgeport,
Swedes, and Graphophone Company
of Bridgeport.
The season will open Sept. -. The
following referees will handle the
games played in this state: J. f.

sonia; Davidson. Gillian. Risebro, of
Hartford; r. Rae. Bridgeport; Camp
bell, New Haven; J. Miller. New Ha-
ven; Robertson, Bridgeport.
Association Meeting.
The main reason of calling an ex-
ecutive committee meeting of the
Football Association was for the pur-
pose to reject one of the rules of the
association. All rules of the associa-
ton have to be passed on by the ma
tiona1 commission. The striking out
of one rule and substituting of
Ter by the national body is over
riding the sovereign right of the
state association. This particular rule
has been in operation for years and
why objection should be raised at this
time is difficult to understand. The
local association will take an appeal
against this ruling. This will put
over the publication of the rules for a
couple of weeks.
All officials of the clubs will have
to be registered. so that in case a
club is suspended. the association will
| know who is at the head of affairs
No amateur player can be suspended
| for breach of rules that the club Of
| ficials commit.

Yanks Will Go Back
At Browns Today

Yesterday was a quiet one for the
Yankees. Being idle. they neither won
nor lost. No new strikes against any
of the players developed. This after
noon they will continue their series
with the Browns. It seems likely that
Carl Mays, who finished the game on
Sunday, will be sent back at the
Browns, Allen Southeren is the most
likely pitching selection for St Louis.
Babe Ruth still carries his right arm
in a sling, and seems much per-
turi9ed because certain film men keep
taking his pictures at the Polo
Grounds and then make money cut of
them without letting Babe Ruth have
any of it The Babe threatens some
sort of suit. It is hoped that worry
ever this matter will not retard the
elimination of the infection on his
wrist.

BRIDGEPORT OUTFIT
DROPSDOUBLE HEAD DER
Hartford Carries Off Twin Bill and Manager Walsh Blames
Umpire Mcdonald for First Loss-Pickup Cleans
Sacks With Triple and Hits Homer With

Two On

Hartford, Aug. 31-A two-act com
edy drama was staged yesterday after
noon at Clarkin's field, here, with the
members of the Hartford and Bridge
port baseball clubs forming the cast.
Clarence Pickup was featured in the
lead, ably supported in the second
act by Zip Sloan. Mike Damn
played the comedy role in both acts
and scored a big hit.
Hartford took the first act, 10 to
., in the comedy affair.
Marty and Edward Walsh essayed
to keep the boys under the manage
.nent of D. Philip Howley from car
wing off the honors but they essayed
= vain.
Ed Walsh blamed it onto Umpire
Mcdonald but the spectators blamed
it onto the heavy artillery mustered
into the fray by Howley.
The local team also won the sec
ond, 5 to 2. and Ed Walsh could not
blame that onto anybody but Clarence
Pickup and Zip" Sloan.
Pickup hit circuit clout in this
act with two brother players on the

he tripled over the head of Hank
Bracket, tired and apparently disin-
terested left fielder. with the bases
just as loaded as possible.
Bang! BiT. Bang!
How the hits did roll off the bats
of the local outfit yesterday.
Fifteen of them in the first game,
all of them pretty we'll punched, and
nine in the second-fans, they hit
hard and often during the two en-
Gagements.
Pickup contributed a single. triple
and homer; Bailey, three doubles;
Kane, three singles and a double, and
Damn, four singles. The others came
through with their wallops at oppor-
tune times and the only thing that
kept Nal Barry from adding a couple
of doubles and possibly more to the
total was the brilliant fielding of En-
erick.
First Game Funny Affair.
The first game was a funny affair and
it looked for a brief spell though
Bridgeport was going to pull 1t out of
the refrigerator. Slow fielding enabled
the visiting team TO steadily climb
tovar d Hartford'S s to l lead until the
eighth. In that inning, Bridgeport
scored thrice on four singles, a couple
of which should't haveb cen hits and
went into the lead.
But the Hartford batters put on a

"HIAS" ISSUES NEW YEAR
APPEAL.

New York q. c. B. Service).-
On the eve of Rosh Hashono the
Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society of America en-
tered upon a special campaign to
enable it to complete its new
building which will house the
thousands of Jewish immigrants
who are now entering this coun-
try weekly, and great number OF
whom pass through the hands of
the Society's representatives. Mr..
Albert Rosenblatt, one of the
most active members on the vari-
Gus committees of the Society, in
the course of an interview regard
ing the Society's efforts said.
"The Society is unique i11sti-
tuition in American philanthropy
and know of no other organiza-
ton, Jewish or Gentle, that has
so many supporters. Time and
again prominent individuals and
large organizations like the
American Red Cross and high
government officials have spoken
in terms of the highest praise for
the Society and its work"
Asked as to what was actually
being done for immigrants on
their arrival here, Mr.. Rosenblatt
replied:
"When they come here we well
come them in the name of Ameri-
can Jewry, we stretch out to them
the hand of brotherhood. Our
representatives meet all steamers
at the docks and Our Ellis Island
office looks after the interests Of
all immigrants who must pass
through that Island and who may
be detained there. It-appeafs to
Washington for all those who are
ordered deported and has pre-
vented the deportation of num-
bers of unfortunates. The immi-
grants who are brought to our
Home are discharged to their
