AS LOUIE" WOULD SAY

Red Torphy out of the iirnelight this week. Where's Coakley?
 The Williams A. C. is the first of the locals to get the old moleskins brushed up for the fall football season. The little blue team is striving to hold the local championship and are afte- Joe Malone, Johnny Nagel and Al. Hall to help out Duke" Rowley, Red Quinn and the other stand-bys of the downtowners. / Nal Barry of Hartford Is hitting the old pill hard and looms up as con- tender for the batting honors i'll the Eastern.
 Mike Menosky, the Boston loutfe1d- CT, who started movement to have Mays barred from baseball, was a former Hartford player, in the old Con- necticut league.
 Why all this outburst against Carl Mays? Iris Speaker of Cleveland, Manager Ed. Barrow of Boston, and other sensible men in the game, have exonerated Mays, and boost him as clean Cut player who would not pur- posely hurt anybody.
 When Chick Fewster of the Yankees was beaned by Jeff Pfeffer of Brook 1yn, the regular season had not open ed, therefore the excitab1e fan was not moved, as in the case of Chapman, al though 1t looked as if Fewster's career was over for the season, at least.
 
 Walter Johnson, who has larger following than any pitcher in the game, was almost done for as pitcher sev- era1 years ago when he had his belt full of Init by pitcher" niches, and nobody would accuse the big Swede of doing the bean act purpose1y.
 
 Then Smoky Joe" Wood, Russell Ford, "Old Jack" Stivetts, Amos Russie and numerous other speed ball pitchers went along, season after season, copping the base-crowder, and no howls- went up.
 Mays should have the sympathy of any decent fan at this time.

THE BRIDGEPORT BOUTS.

A lot of interest IS being shown by local fight fans in the big bouts Mon day evening at Bridgeport where Louis Bogash, state welterweight cahmp, will make bid for national fame when he tackles Jack Rritton, worlds champion we1terweight, over F round route at the Park City open air arena. The bout will be staged under the auspices of the Bridgeport Athletic and Amuse- ment company and has been approved by the Bridgeport boxing commission.
 Bogash has been coming along in fine style the past two years, defeating all corners with remarkable ease, and that he stands good chance of giving Britton a rough evening is predicted by followers of the Park City battler. The appearance of Britton marks the first time he has performed in the Nut meg State, since regaining the title. Britton always gives his best to the fans and there is no question but what he will go after the Bridgeporter at top speed from the opening gong.
 A good sized delegation of New Ha- ven fans will make the trip mostly by auto, Monday evening. Several very promising preliminary bouts have been arranged to make up the remainder of the card.

Bill Brennan to
 Meet Champ.

Jack Dempsey and Bill Brennan have agreed to box. This arrangement, which was signed by both fighters at the Hotel Belmont, New York, recently, will not interfere with the Dempsey Miskes>bo scheduled to be held at Benton Harbor, Mich, on Labor Day.
 We have simply signed to fight Brennan an indefinite number of rounds at some place not yet agreed upon," explained Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, after the conference. We. have become convinced that the public wants to see Dempsey box Bren- nan and we decided to get together and sign articles for bout. We also decided to leave the date and number of rounds blank, so that the promoters could bid for the match. Thirty days have been agreed upon as the time in which all bids must be in. By that time we expect to be able to decide when and where the bout will be held"
 Dempsey will go through with his agreement to box Miske. The worlds heavyweight champion left New York this week for Benton Harbor, where he will finish training for his first opponent isnce he won the heavyweight championship from Jess Willard at Toledo on July a year ago. After that bout he will meet Brennan, and the chances are that he will box Brennan in New York city.
 The first definite offer received for the match was from Jim Dougherty of Philadelphia, who offered a purse of $125,000 for the bout. This offer was for an eight-round no-decision bout to be held in Philadelphia. It was laid on the table, so to speak,
 The only definite agreement reached between the parties, aside from the fact that they will box, was that the bout will be staged before January 1, 1921. It was also agreed that the contest would be held subject to the laws of the city or state in which the bout takes place.
 We are anxious to fight Brennan" ]" said Kearns, because we believe the public wants the match. Brennan gave Dempsey quite a battle in Milwaukee before Dempsey won the title from Willard, and there seems to be a real demand for return meeting. Demp- sey is open to meet any one the public wants him to meet"

Straight, Fast Ball. :

"It was a straight. fast ball and not a curved one When Chapman came to bat I got the signal for straight, fast ball, which I delivered It was a little too close and I saw Chapman duck his head in an effort to get out of the path of the ball. He was too late, however, and second later he fell to the ground It was the most regrettab1e incident of my career and l would give anything if I could undo what has hap pened."

Sonny Tutt, a we'll known colored
man, was out hunting possums Mon
day night, few others being in the
party. They were in the bills near
Sharon church, and hearing a dog
making an unusual noise, they went
to him, when they found him near
an American eagle on the ground.
There was no fight, as the dog would
not get near enough for the lighting
strokes of the eagles claws to make
connection. The men all had car.
bide lamps, which caused the eagle
to be blinded 10 degree, but not
enough for the dog to make an at
tack. Tut secured a limb and
struck the bird on the head, killing
it. 1t Is a fine specimen of the
plumed brown eagle, measuring over
7 feet in Its spread of wings, and
weighing 16 pounds. 1t is being
prepared for permanent preservation
and will soon be ON display at

eagle, and the display will attract
