The Bridgeport times and evening farmer. (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1918-1924, 1920-07-16

King Brady, star second baseman
Of the Pittsfield club, and Paul john
son, hard-hitting outfielder of Jack
Mack's Worcester outfit, figured in
deals pulled off with major league
clubs yesterday. Brady has been
traded to the Boston Red Sox for In
fielder Frank Hitler and Catcher
Paddy Smith. Johnson goes to the
Philadelphia Athletics on what is be-
lieved to be a straight sale.
Both Brady and Johnson have been
attracting Che attention of big league
scouts this season as result of their
great work with their respective
clubs. 1t is said that the New York
Giants were also anxious1to land
Brady, but the deal fell through be-
cause Manager McGraw wanted the
infielder to report Immediately and
had no player to send to the Hillies
in exchange. Hitler who comes to
Pfttsheld played with Petersburg in
the Virginia League last season. He
was at bat 4e7-times, made AZ runs,
slammed out 10 hits for a total of
40 bases. He led the league in
stolen bases with IS.
Used at Third.
Hitler was used at third base and
as a fielder had an average of 1927,
having 165 put outs, PIT assists and

for Tvs honors is a young man by
the name of George Sisler, who halls
from ST. Louis. George is hitting
around 400, and shows no signs of
weakening. However. there are 9TH
ers lowering right at the heels of
Sisler, among whom are Messrs.
Jackson, Speaker and Ruth, of Chi
cago, Cleveland and New York, re-
spectively. George will have to keep
going at breakneck speed if he
wishes to keep ahead of these demon
swatters.
1t has heen suggested that, since
Benny Leonard is so far superior to
all the lightweights now fighting, he
try his luck with $the welters and
middleweights. 1t would be a grand
and glorious thing if Benny could an
mex these titles as well as the one
he now holds, but no one can blame
him if he doesn't follow this advice
Benny to step above his class, and
Benny is good business man, as
well as being a good fighter.
The New York Giants are reported
to be out on. still hunt for stars
to bolster. up their none too success.
full team. They are willing tt
spend a lot of perfectly good money
for Some hard hitters-and believe
me, it will be money well spent. Jus
now about all one hears in New Yorl
is the Yankees, and the Giants are
, destined to lose a lot of hard earned
prestige this year unless they ACQUIRE
a few stars before long.

Drops to Fourth Place By Double Defeat at Albany
Playing Springfield Today and Same Teams Here
Tomorrow-New Haven Continues First

Slipping back to fourth place in the

brace itself to continue as a con-
tender for the pennAnt. Today the
team is playing the hustling Spring

the Americans dropped two games,

Concerning the race in the league
for the pennant one Of the New Ha-
ven writer's has the following to say:
The Eastern League pot of the pres
ent season has been boiling for nearly
two months and the result is that the
race for the flag has simmered down
to about three clubs. Up to two weeks
ago it looked as though only New
Haven and Bridgeport would be there

addition to berating some veteran
Cardinal stars. That's no way to
bat grounder," ex1aimed Hornsby,
grabbing the bat from Higgins
hand, after Miller had missed hitting
a few in practice.
Hornsby hit more than 800 his first
year in the majors. Today there is
every indication that Hornsby will be
the leading batsmen in the older cir
cult at the close of the season. Horns
by's initial purchase price was $500.

FORT MIAMI TROT
FOR PETER COLEY

Toledo, July 16.-Peter Coley. the
favorite on account of his victory at
North Randall last week won the
Fort Miami $4,000 Stake for 2:0s trot-

the day, after Grace Direct had taken
the second heat Thousands turned
out the Ia rye stand being entirely too
small The track was heavy, and it
was nearly O'Clock before the first

Royal Earl was the class of the 2:05

ing drawn after finishing fifth in the
first two heats.
In the Fort Miami Stake Peter Co1ey
made a break in the stretch and was

but in the next two heats he was on
his good behavior and led the field
from wire to wire.

is the highest appraisal ever made in
cash for all-player-including
even that of the illustrious Babe
Ruth.
Miller Higgins has always claimed
he was the man to 'tind' Rogers
Hornsby and he did. But he rarely
refers to the fact that a conductor
once gave him a ''tip'' which might
have won a pennant had he not ig-
nored it. The brilliant playing Of
Horsby could have reinforced the
one weak link in the Cardinal
chain that snapped in the final tug
for a pennant.
