Wh0opee! Bridgeport And NeW HaDen Post Season
 Championship Series TaLk

While a majority of baseball men in the Eastern League circuit have not shown any signs of becoming daffy over the proposed minor league world series'' games. there is some talk about a post-season series be- tween Bridgeport and New Haven teams, provided the Brown Derbies and Indians are the two highest Nut meg teams at the close of the flag race.
 A series of five games for the championship of Connecticut between these teams would no doubt create some of the >keenest excitement pos sible. The rivalary this season be- tween the teams would help matters along and banner crowds could be expected.
 If such a series should come across the games would net the players a movie shows during the winter sea- movie show sduring the winter sea- son. The games could be conducted on similar basis as the World Ser ies classic, 60 per cent. to the winners and 40 per cent. to the losers.
 To add to the interest the players of each team could pool S1,ooO as a side wager.
 There is no reason to believe that President Dan O'Nei1 or the owners of the two clubs would present any objections to such a series.

Catcher Joe Smith Plays in
 lO5th Game; Ledgue Record

Catcher Joe Smith has one of the most remarkably playing records in the Eastern league so far this season. Smith on Thursday performed in his 104th game, having played his regu- lar position behind the bat 104 times and played first base in two games, and having missed only one game
 Smith to date has played in more games than any other Eastern league player and barring accidents in the coming five weeks he should be able to boast of a league record for playing in consecutive games.
 Smith is a gamster. Tuesday he continued behind the bat with a lame wrist and a bad finger on his throw ing wing which was split In the New Haven game, Wednesday.
 The doughty Derby backstopper is also after another record-that of throwing the most runners out on the bases Smiths grand total to date is about 125 victims of his begging arm some whip, Joe.
 Smith has turned out to be one of the most valuable of backstop ar lists in the O,Neil circuit. His fine work behind the bat combined with his good stickwork makes him a yalu- able player.

By GEORGE E. FTRSTBROOK

There's a chance that Phil krug, the Newark welter, who won a news paper verdict over Louis Bogash, last week.. in the Jersey metropolis, may be seen in a bout here in the near future if the negotiations between George Dwyer, Bridgeport A. & A. matchmaker and Hughey Garland, Krug's manager, comes to a success full climax. Dwyer is now awaiting g word from GartIand. The local pro motors stand ready to offer krug a juicy percentage for a. bout.
 Krug's stock took a big bound, fol- lowing the great showing he made against Bogash, and Jersey fight fans are now acclaiming him as the logical candidate to meet Johnny Britton in ! titu1ar battle

 The Bureau, which has been trying to cause punishment or Jack Dempsey, Georges Carpen- tier Tex Riclard and everybody else that had anything to do with the big fight of July 2, lost another round yesterday when Common Pleas Judge Dougherty of Hudson county, refused to is sue waxrants for the fighters, their managers and RiclzaTu, sought under an anti-prize fight act passed by the New Jersey Iegfsiature in 1898.
 Judge Dougherty ruled the 1898 act had been superseded by the Hurley act He told the bu- reau representatives he wouldn't be inclined to issue warrants if complaints were filed under the Hurley Act, saying he thought the matter should be submitted to a grand jury.
