The newspapermen could do little though they managed to manufacture three more runs during the course of the contest. these were offset by two counters which were hung up by the attorneys in later frames. Owing to the official scorers resignation, it is impossible to state the exact innings in which the runs were scored.
 In a battery of Ed" Buckingham and "Bill Fitzpatrick, the lawyers presented unbeatable combination. The commissioner, although a bit wild at times. frightened up in the pinches and had the 'heavy'' hitting scri'bes at his mercy. Fitzpatrick performed behind the bat in a manner which would have ma de Ray ShaIk jealous, had he been among the 2S spectators.
 On the starboard side of the dia- mond, the lawyers presented Alder man Eddie" McIManus at first and "Dashing' Dan Brennan on the center station. The alderman fielded his po- sition in rare style and was a demon at the bat. The play of 'FDashing' little short of wonderful. In fact Dan iers performance was a striking feature of the pastime. He struck out once, was struck by a pitched ball and was struck from the base line in the only double play of the game, Hurley to DeForeSt.
 Dave Price and I. Cohen repre- sented the legal fraternity at shortstop and third base respectively. Both men were stone walls on the defense, Price making some great stops and throws. Rumor has. it, that the pair may be given a try-out with the Americans if the news of their performance ever reaches the ears of Manager Walsh.
 Guarding the outer reaches were United States Commissioner Hugh J. Lavery, Michael Flanagan and Patrick Maloney. Lavery proved himself to be the George Burns of the attorneys outfit, and dropped a few flies only because he forgot to bring his sun glasses with him. Hugh will don the "cheaters'' the next time he plays in left field.
 Of Flanagan, it may be said that he performed a stunt which probably

When Albany got three hits in the first inning yesterday. the bleacher- ties yelled Take him out,' but Marty settled down and pitched good ball after he warmed up. He must have shaved his warming period a bit be- fore the game.
 McCorry shifted Tamm and Sweat in the batting order unintentionally yesterday, but when he discovered that he had, he said, ''Fll leave them that way for luck" The change ap- peared to be to the liking of Tamm who got a couple of hits.
 ''I like a good fight" said Sir Thomas Lipton after the yacht race yesterday. The Shamrocok was given a good fight by the Resolute, but only one more win will give the cup to the Shamrock.

that night has always been mystery. But that he had at least from IT to 70 pounds the advantage has never been doubted.
 Bettinson, still skeptica1 of little Lavisne's much advertised ability, also mixed sportsinanship with his feelings.
 MT. Lavigne,' he said, don't you think I'd better announce that MT. Burge is over weight and that there fore no title is at stake?"
 I>avigne answered.: Don't bother about that. don't care if he weighs 200. I'll lick him any howl
 Betting in the National Sporting Club is done by raising the hand, the number of fingers denoting the amount in pounds to be wagered. This was new one on Fitzpatrick. who, without this rare knowledge, began to back Lavigne for a fair amount of coin. Every time an Englishman raised his hand Fitz, without caring about the number of fingers upraised immediately cried out: "I've got you." Then he jot- ted the name down on pad, think

MANY BIDDING FOR
 NEXT DEMPSEY FIGHT

The announcement of Jack Kearns that Dempsey will fight with in the. next six weeks gives rise to considerable speculation as to who the lucky-or unlucky-man will be. Bill Brennan's chances of being fa- vored are conceded to be the best, but there are several other eager contenders upon whom Dempsey may cast favorable eyes. Among the run ners are such well known battlers as Fred Fulton, Willie Meehan, Billy Miske, Bailey Madden and (hold your breath, boys!) Gunner Smith, the ancient mariner.
 There is some spirited bidding going on by fight promoters in vari- ous cities to stage Dempsey's pro- posed bout, and Jack has been offer ed some fat young purses, if Dame Rumor is not spoofing us. Iris said that an offer has been made from Minneapolis of s10O, 900 for Dempsey 8 share of the purse. Among the other cities reputed to be bidding for the fight are New York, Milwaukee, Den yer, New Orleans, Benton Harbor, Mich., Rochester, Buffalo and vari- ous cities in Connecticut and New Jersey.

Score "A at End of Seven Inning Alleged Ball Seaside Park Diamond-Blue Uniform
 Proved Jinx

Law business was practically sus- pended in Bridgeport yesterday af- tcrnoon long enough for nine mem Ders Of the bar to go down to Sea- side Park and wallop the Newspa- permen's team 7 to 4 in seven inn ings of ruthless baseball warfare. As the result of the game, Bridgeport barristers are wearing broad grins today, while the reporters have re- tired to the innermost depths of their respective offices, refusing to be comforted.
 The opposing pitchers were Com pensation Commissioner Ed" Buck ingham, resplendent in a blue form fitting uniform, for the lawyers, and Josephus Hurley, of the Evening Times, for the newspapermen Hur- ley has entered a formal aHbi for his defeat, in which he claims that the commissioners uniform was too great handicap to be overcome.
 Due to the appearance of sev- eral members of the Newspaper mems team, the start of the after noon's festivities was slightly delay ed John Maloney, the umpiring sheriff, threatened to "call the bonds and forfeit the game to the attorneys, but the scribes entered an appeal for continuance and finally took the field with only six men.
 In their half of the first inning, the reporters took very kindly to Buckingham's offerings, and by dint of free hitting. and a few errors on the part of the barristers, managed to cross the plate on two occasions.
 Undaunted by this display of fer ocity, the lawyers came right back and started to massage Hurley's .change-of of-paee delivery to- the well known corners of the greensward. After five runs had clattered across the plate, the official scorer quit his position, and took a job in the out field for the newspapermen. B1acka- dar, the reporters shortstop, had by this time become exhausted from chasing hits into the gardens. Time was taken out at the end of the inn ing for the players of both teams to regain their wind.
 After the first inning nightmare, both outfits settled down to business.

(By ED. HUGHES.)

One of the most sensational inter national lightweight battles ever con tested took place twenty-four years ago in the National Sporting Club of London. The principals were Kid Lavigne, one of Americas greatest fighting products and Dick Burge. then lightweight champion of Eur ope.
 EAvisne mumbles the days away in . Michigan insane asylum now. Burgo, the once famed and honored, languishes tn a British prison, vic- tim of worthless companions. Both are pretty much forgotten. But not so the combat they engaged in.
 For Lavigne treated London to a great fight and an even greater shock Although outweighed IT bounds the dauntless Saginaw Kid' as he was known in America, wore the clever Englishman down and fi- nally knocked him cold in the sew enteenth round.
 When the lads entered the ring yurge lowered six inches over the little American. Burge stoutfy re- fused to weigh in. What he scaled

ing he was betting in dollars, not
 pounds.
 Fitzpatrick, unwlttingly, laid $40,-
 900 on Lavigne to win. He didn't realize it until the Englishmen be-
 gan paying up after the fight Fitz-
 patrick, of course, said nothing about
 his ignorance of the amount wager
 ed. He merely looked wise, pock-
 eted the pelf, and "sympathized'
 with the Britons on their hard
 luck
 Fitzpatrick and Lavigne cleaned
 up a small fortune on the Burge scrap. But in doing so they were nearer the poor-house than most | folks would care to get. Had La vigne lost Sam never would have be- i gun to pay what he had bet on his man.
 , Lavigne looked like a loser in the early rounds. But Burge was finally worn down by the persistence of La vigne's attack, coupled with the Americans terrible body pounding. (Copyright 1920-Thompson Feature Scrviee.)

ANOTHER BIG TROT
 FOR PETER COLBY

Kalamazoo, Mich, July 22.-Peter Coley, son of Peter the Great, repeat ed the victories he has won at North Randall and Toledo by winning the S. GOO Paper Mills purse for 2:0S 'trot- ters. The time, 2:04 34, 2:06 1-2, 2:05 3-4, was a record for the stake. It was a brilliant contest in which the Valentine mount again demonstrated his superiority over his competitors.
 Murphy drove Daystar for Walter Cox and won the three-year-old trot in 2:O71-4 and POS 3-4. The last half of the first mile was trotted in 1:02 1-2-

By punching hits in the fifth and eighth innings yesterday, Bridgeport
 had little difficulty in trimming AL
 bany ' to 2 in an interesting game
 at New1fie1d park. Marty Walsh not
 only pitched a good game, but he pro-
 duced the hit in the fifth which drove in the tally that really won the game. Mangum was not a puzzle. Albany started right after the game in the opening session. Bran sen singled to center and Leary hit through the infield to right. Baker fou1ed out and Dameron dribbled one down to K. Grimes, who threw to the plate rather late to get Bran sen and one tally was scored. Tamm singled through the infeld to right. scoring Leary.
 Emerick walked in opening the Bridgeport side of the game and he went to second on Martins roller to first. R. Grimes singled to right, scoring Emerick.

The Walters tied it up in the fourth. R. Grimes opened with a hit through the infe1d to right and went around to third on Skiffs sac rifice. When Bonaguera rolled one to first Grimes counted the second and tying run.
 K. Grimes started the fifth inning with a hit to left and the ball got away from McGorry so Grimes kept running to third. Marty Walsh then singled through the pitchers box and K. Grimes scored what proved to be the winning run. Bracket tripled, sending Marty Walsh home and Mar tin singled, scoring Bracket. The eighth brought two. more runs for the Americans. Skim singled over third base and Bonaguera hit safely through the same place. Lai bunted to the pitcher, who threw to third and Baker muffed the throw, filling up the bases. K. Grimes sim gled to left, Skiff and Bonaguera counting the last two runs.
