Worcester Takes
 Advantage Of Muff Second Baseman Orr Drops Throw From Left Field and
 Music Starts at Newfeld Park

Worcester defeated Bridgeport, to 3, yesterday afternoon at New1eId park in an II inning game. Bridge port tossed the game away on CT TOTS. The absence from the game of Ray Grimes shifted the home team around a, little, Catcher Slzif going to covers first, while Emerfck attempted to do the backstopping. These changes shifted the machine around so that it wobbled in the places where it should have been steady.
 Worcester scored a run in the fourth, but the locals came right up with them and tied up the game Worcester scored a pair of runs in the fifth and again the Americans came up with them, tying the game and sending it into the extra ses- sions.
 In the fatal eleventh, two of the visitors went out without much ef- fort, but the third man, Bosse, drove hit along the foul line. Johnson followed with hit to left and Brack- cit cut the ball into second in time to cut off the runner, but Orr drop ped the ball.
 Burke followed with a. single to left and Bosse crossed the pan. Johnson took second and both men moved up on a passed ball. Callaghan cropped Texas Leaguer'' behind second. Martin sscooped up the ball and shot it to the plate, but the throw was wide of the mark and two runs ambled across the plate. That was the entire game. The score:

NEW GUM MARKET.

As law and order come into the wild and unsettled mountains of Mesopotannia, M especially when new roads and the eventual railway con- meet the northern Kurdish country around Mosul with the rest of the world, many a now useless tree and shrub will doubtless be put to service as a contributor of gum.
 The gums of Mesopo otamia have many commercial uses, and the un- systematic mapping and trading that now brings the product on pack an imals to Su1einanaya, where mer- chants buy it from the Kurds and sell zt again to other merchants in Bagdad, is a mere suggestion of the industry that may be developed by enterprising promoters who may have observed the extent of this natural resource in Mesopotania and looked further afieBd than Aleppo and Bag dad for markets
 Now that British occupation has opened the land to western ideas, it would not be surprising if the gum industry grew to be a source of con- siderable national wealth, and an inn portant factor in creating a new Mesopotamia-

WEARING OVERALLS
Should Induce the Doing of SoIn'
 Hard Work.


 Overalls are useful garments and it might be well for every man to own a pair and do some good hard work with the hands to justify such ownership, but it doesn't follow that they are appropriate for all places or for all occasions, says the Hudson "Register'' They have no place in church or in court, or in the halls of legislatures.
 The demonstration symbolized by the wearing of overalls, against the high cost of living is all right in pur- pose, but if people want to wear blue denim why not have it made into suits. Better, however, to wear your old clothes, patch them and make them last a year or two longer than you ordinarily wear them That will do more to stop the inordinate de- mand for clothes which is the chief cause of the high prices than buying something new, which you would not otherwise buy-even if that some thing is a pair of overaHs. Further more, if the inordinate demand for overaIls sends them up in price for men who really have to have them, harm instead of good is likely to re- suit.
 In the old times. after the Civil War, when prices were high just as they are now, there used to be a lot of artistic work done in the line of patching clothes. Why not get up a patched clothes club patches to be guaranteed home made?

SOUTH AMERICANS
 MAY SEND TEAMS
 TO ANTWERP MEET

New York, May S.-With the probability of teams representing some of the South American Repub- lies being sent to compete in this years Olympic Games at Antwerp Belgium, the growing interest in track and field athletics in South America was considerably stimulated on April 23, 24 and 25 when teams from Chile, Uruguay and Argentina met at Santiago, Chile, in what is known there as the South American Olympic, Games. The ChiEians won by a total score of 61 points against 4S for Uruguay and 20 for Argen- tina
 While they were not strictly Olympic games, inasmuch as the first international contest of this kind was held, last year between Uruguay and Chile and it is planned to hold the contests annually, they have been so designated by the l newspapers as they correspond, in character, to the four year interna- tionaI OtyInpiads that are held in the | northern hemisphere of Europe The initial South American inter- | national track contest in April, 1919, l was held in Montevido and resulted in a. victory for Chile by a score of 64 points to AT. Argentina declined to enter the contest but this year her l national athletic organization decided to send a team. While the records made last year do not approach in most instances | those that have been scored at the l international Olympiads or by North | American club and college athletes, | it must be borne in mind that track | athletics in South America are prac- | ticaIly in their infancy. The Latin ] American athletes have not yet had 1 the advantage of the scientific train 1 ing developed in the northern hem l isphere. That the South American athletes are improving in their track l form is shown, however, by the fact | that new records were established in three events. The records, as they stood at the close of the games al Santiago, Chile, late last month, are | as follows:
 Shot-put, Chile. S7 ft., 1-2 in. Javelin-huriing, Chile, 150 ft., 1-c inches.

The constellation Ring first cast it

The constellation Ring first cast it's rays upon an admiring sport public in the fall of last year. But as matter of fact this constellation was always in the baseball heaven during the whole of last season. It's bril- liancy, however, was dimned by banks of heavy dark clouds which might be properly labeled Hack of offensive support" Jimmy Ring pitched in more hard, and consist ently hard luck last season than any boxman in either league. Ring pitch ed sterling ball, good enough to es- tablish an enviable record fn the books, under normal circumstances. But it just so happened that when ever Ring went to the mound, the batting offensive of the Red Machine went democratic. Nothing personal understand. All the players under Pat Moran like Jimmy Ring. But they simply weren't able to interpret their affection for Jimmy in the matter of hits last season. In one of his perverse pitching spells Ring actually went almost fifty innings without a tally being made for him by his colleagues. Wouldn't Job himself throw in the sponge at such break of luck?
 Rings enthusiasm and his conf dence in himself never Jagged how ever, and it was because of this spirit that Ring obtained the chance from Pat Moran to beat the White Sox in the fourth game of the Worlds Series last year. Moran was in a quandary as to who to pitch in that game. The series stood two to one in the Reds favor but the Sox had won the last game and their fighting spirit had been revived. They were dangerous once more. An other victory might spur them on to an ultimate victory in the series. Pat had about decided on Hod Eller to subdue the Sox, with Ring named as the relief man.
 When Jimmy heard of his near assignment he hustled up to Moran. Pat can beat these fellows any ! time in a full game. Give me a shot at them, won't you? Don't just hold me for relief" Rings con 1 fdence appealed to the fighting Irish in Moran. How Ring went in and shut out the heavy-hitting SoH with three lone hits is history now. ] The game emblazoned the name of ! Ring in Base-balFs books of fame. r. Jimmy, with a reasonably good
 break in the matter of batting sup l port this season, will prove worthy l of the late-earned 1aure1s.

 LICENSE TO TRAIN

Baltimore, May S.---James Bodenr one of the oldest trainers in America was denied a license to train by the stewards of the National Steeplechass and Hunt Association, which met at the club house of the Maryland Jockey Club yesterday. No reason was ad- vanced, but it was reported he came under the official ban because of the way one or two of his jumpers per formed last season. On Futurity day at Belmont Park his Reddest, which was always an cratic horse, ran so poorly that the stewards ordered his entries refused and suspended J. Ro- wan, his rider. Rowan was refused 9 jockeys ncence for 1920.

WILSON READY ID
 MEET ALL BOXERS
Mike Gibbons Comes Out of Retirement to Challenge
 New Champion

Boston, May S-Johnny Wilson, the new middlew eight pugiIist cham pion, announced through his man ager here last night that he would rest for a month and then would be ready to meet any boxer in defense of his title. He said he already had received many challenges from boxers and promoters.
 St. Paul, Minn., May, S-Mike Gib- bons, middleweight pugilist, came out of retirement yesterday with a challenge to Johnny Wilson of Bos- ton, who last night wrested the mid dleweight championship from Mike O'Dowd of St. Paul. Gibbons seeks a match with Wilson for July 4, or after, in Minnea polls.
 And so Mike O'Dowd has passed on, eh? Too bad! A great little warrior, soldier and a gentleman. When Mike O'Dowd lost his middle weight title to Johnny Wilson through the decision handed down by Hector MacInnis after twelve rounds in Bos- ton Thursday night a real ring trag- edy was enacted.
 Wilson's victory, hard earned in- deed came as a thunderbolt among fight fans yesterday. He owes al his present glory to his ability tc punch, and in knocking O'Dowd down for a count of four in the second round he paved the way for the vic tory which could not be denied hin inasmuch as he had eight of the twelve rounds fought to his credit. O'Dowd could not and did not re cover from the effects of that punch He got up, gamely, as he alway: fought, and tried to fight his oppon ent off, but Wilson was too strons and kept punching through the cham pion's guard so hard and so ofte1 that there was little for the referee to do but award Wilson the decision and the middleweight title.
 And now of Wilson, or Giovann Francis Panica to be correct, for thu midd1eweight champion is an Italian Wilson is. the first t'south paw worlds champion; that is, a man whC stands with right foot and arm ex tended. Knockout Brown, Lew Tend Ter and Eddie Fitzsimmons are wor thy opponents of the wrong way

 "Pouf," he replied in his broken English. Georges will beat them. Beat Leonard, too.''

The Victoria, owned by Arthur Meeker of Chicago, was built in Scotland twelve years ago. She is 193 feet long and capable of fl knots.
 The Erin which was a. victim of a German, submarine in the MedTterrean four years ago this month, served during the war as a hospital ship for tae Serbian Red Cross and shortly before she was sunk had been con yerted by the British admiralty into the auxiliary cruiger Aegusa.

Warns Motorists Against Danger of
 "Gas" Shortage

The government is issuing warn, ings to the probability of an acute shortage of gasoline before the sum- mer is out. Production of petro- leum has increased 20 per cent over 1919, but use of gasoline has gained faster.
 Millions of people who formerly wore out shoe leather and paid street car fares, are now cheerfully burning up gasoline in flivvers and other joy vehicles. Also with farm labor 1ocking to cities, farmers are com pelIed to resort to gasoline driven machinery.
 The country must be fed and food must be transported. There must be sufficient gasoline available to oper- ate the country's business, even if pleasure cars have to observe some gasIess Sunday.
 There will be gasoline enough for everybody, if owners of automobiles show moderation. A large part of them are not satisfied unless they get out on Sunday, and scorch over 15o to 200 miles of road. They would be precisely as happy to take short runs of 50 to 75 miles. What they want is fresh air, the exhiler- ating sense of motion, and country scenes. They can get that within 1s miles of their towns, just as well as if they took a 200 mile run.
 If motorists persist in using up the gasoline stock at the present head long rate, it will cost 40 or 50 cents a gallon before summer is over. In the present state of the country, when money is so badly needed to finance business, it seems folly to burn up this stock so fast. Many people who complain the most at the disturbed state of the nation. will themselves get out on Sundays, and help make things worse for every one, by this reckless consumption of a. basic essential of business.
