We have seen a few Gaelic foot ball games, but they fade away in excitement after seeing a rabid crowd of Waterbury rooters with the sting of defeat trying to mob a pair of umpires.
 Waterbury rooters are loyal to Joe Cosgrove's pennant sprinters. En- couragement of the pep and tobascn variety is uncorked every day in the Brass City especially when the home team is hitting up a winning pace.
 Should Bridgeport cop two of the three games with Waterbury and Pittsfield, Newfield Park is likely to house the biggest jam of the season when the Worcester league leaders appear here Sunday. Some talk of a doub1eheader going the rounds, but Manager Gene McCann has not de- f1nitely settled on the program.

Bridgeport pitchers are carrying the Brown Derbies to the front in the | Eastern League race, aided by the fast fielding behind them.
 Evidence of the fast work of the Brown Derbies is seen in the rec ord of games played since June 20 when Joe Boehling made his advent ! against the New Haven champions, ! the Brown Derbies winning by a score i of g to 5. The appearance of Boehling seemed to turn the tide of l,tefeat, for since that time the Brown
 Derbies have been performing at
 Championship clip.
 The majority of scores, in the ac- companying records, show that op- posing batters have had tough go- ing against the McCann fingers and
 that the opposing clubs have been i h<sId to a minimum The records -show that the fielders have also been

The baseball situation in New Ha- ven is far from satisfactory to Elm City fandom According to the views of Karl Dalquist, sporting edi- tor of the New Haven Journal-Cou- rier, the fans are considerably peev- ed over the in-and-out performances of the champions. DalquiSt says:
 Instead of showing improve ment the team is getting worse every day. The pitchers have gone wrong altogether, and the defensive work is terrible. Wholehearted team work is con spicuous by it's absence and the team seems to be floundering along with no special goal-not even winning ball games
 One of the great faults of the team is the fact that they are expecting too much without go- ing out after it. The one cry is we don't get the breaks" Since when does a team after a pennant sit back and wait for the breaks to come up to them and beg acceptance?
 It would be far better to make an effort to get out and play, some hard baseball and knock the so-caued breaks for a row of goals. It is admitted that -

Jersey City, July 8.---Governor Ed ward I. Edwards, of New Jersey, was asked what he thought regarding the possibility of bouts between Dempsey and Jack Johnson or Johnson and Will lis or Carpenter and Gibbons being held in New Jersey. The Governor replied:
 ''As long as the boxing law is on the statute books boxing may be con- ducted in accordance with the law.
 Shall we stop boxing because somebody wants us to stop? Would we stop the banking business because somebody who could not borrow money wanted the banking business stopped?
 ''There is no change in New Jersey as regards boxing My attitude is the same as it has always been."

Is Britton :
 Sidesteppiing Bogash Match!

Whether Joe Smith, manager of Louis Bogash, can inveigle Champion Jack Britton into the ring for a bat tie for the American welterweight title is still problem.
 With Joe Smiths return from New York it is learned that Rrittons man ager is lodging the issue, although alluring offers have been made for the setto by the EbbetS Field fight mana cement. It is also learned that Britton has turned down an offer to meet Benny Leonard.
 RogaSh was introduced to the crowd at the Leach Cross Jimmy Duffy fight in the Brooklyn arena Wednesday night and was given a big reception. Bogash was hailed as the coming champion welterweight.
 Why Britton should sidestep match with the local battler is not clear. Britton has always borne a reputation for taking on all corners, but apparently he has not forgotten his setto here with Bogash last sum mer, when the Bridgeport battler handed a big surprise to the cham pion.
