 That

In the Giants battle for the pennant a trio of old diamond gladiatorS found themselves re- united after years of conflict John McGraw, Hughey Jennings and Jesse BurIxett. McGrav was great Baltimore team, then with St. Louis and lastly with the Giants. Jennings was first shortStop with Louisville. then with Baltimore and Brooklyn, and then he went to Detroit as this season. BurIzett started in with the Giants in 1890 as a pitch CT. but was turned into an out fielder owing to his lack of con trol and heavy hitting procIivities. file shone in the outfcld for the Giants, Cleveland and St. Louis. They were . trio of great hitters their combined hitting repre- senting 27 years of batting over the 300 mark.

Joe is on the job with pen. pencil and tele- phone, sometimes twice daily her aiding the rosy prospects of his aggregation.

 The continuance of the superb box work of Babe Adams of the Pirates is one Of the surprises of the season, and tho veteran still looks good for a few more cam paigns in the majors. control is the secret of Adams success The record of Adams for this year is eagerly awaited. Last season Adams won IT and lost 13 games and allowed 2.16 earned runs to be made off his delivery per nine-fnning game. During the season he pitched 263 innings and only IS batterS succeeded in drawing free passes. a remarlza- ble record for a twirIer.

 Gridders Out

The John Street Building football team of the local Trade School, is having heavy workouts in prepara- tion for the championship series with the Wilson Building. Both teams are branches of the Bridgeport Trade School. Much rivalry has been ex- isting between these two teams in all athletics for the past two years. Both buildings show fine school spir- it and enthusiasm for athletics.
 Under the able direction of Coach Gath, the John Streets are in fine form. The team will miss the ser vices of Beans Fressola, halfback, whose kicking and passing were of the exceptionally fine quality. He will probably be out two weeks. laid up with an injured hand, received in last Wednesdays scrimmages. tFfdO" Scinto, who has shown the best form of all the other contenders for a back position will take the. place left va cant by Fressola.

Smith Meets
 Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson is looking fit as a fiddle and carrying himself like the champion of the world, ac- cording to Joe Smith who met the former heavyweight titleholder in Boston on a recent visit. John son, however, is finding it diffi- cult to get back. into the ring, chiefly because of the sentiment the coIored boxer. John sos,- found the doors shut to him in Massachusetts owing to the State law that bans heavyweights. The dusI>y warrior, however, is confident that sentiment will swing into his favor before long. Johnson declared he is not look ing or demanding any champion ship battles just now, but is will ing to start all over again to demonstrate to the sporting pulp lie that he possesses all of his oldtime strength and ring gem eralship. The possibility of a Johnson-Wills go here, as an- nounced in another column, is creating considerable interest in local sportdom.

companied by declaration that until

wise and unsafe for the United
