D1un Derbies Are Witn Fiue Points Of Second Place
No ootball League For
 Bridgeport

Bridgeport will not be rep resented in the proposed State Football League, but will bring the strongest independenS teams to play at Newtield Park, Connie Lewis, president of the Bridgeport A. & A. announces this morning.
 The meeting called for New Britain last night failed to ma terialize. Lewis and Jack Rear ney, manager of the local eleven, had planned to attend, but the former received notice of it's cancellation yesterday afternoon.
 The decision of the local football moguls means that Bridgeport grid iron enthusiasts will see the best teams in action here obtainable, in- cluding the famous Washington G1ee- Williams combination outfit of New elevens of Greater New York.
 Bridgeport promoters were never over-en thusiastic over the league plan experienced in the arrangement of Sunday games. Again, it wes figured that it would be impossible for the smaller cities to put teams on the field of a caliber to compete with the strong eleven Bridgeport is going to have. New Haven. it is said, enter .tained the same views on the subject.

KEY-LO CHALLENGE
 BLAST FROM KELLY

Jimmy Kelly. manager of the KeystoneS and LocOmobiIe teams, i: after the sca.Eps of the Public Mar, kets and Manning, Maxwell 6 Moore teams. Kelly claims the Marketeers and Triple Ems are playing the anxious to arrange a series of games and has the following to say in . bold challenge to the management or both teams. It follows:
 ttIt is strange how the Public Market and Manning. Maxwell &5 Moore teams avoid the Keystones and LocomobiIe clubs (both teams are made up of practically the same plavers)- There has been considerable effort made by the Key-Lo's trying to get these teams to play a single game or a series of eames-za fact both teams have been begged for games-but without results.
 'The only logical opponents for these teams are the Key Los. as they were the leaders in the Industrial and Recreation leagues as we'll as having beaten the White Eagles of the Coty League.
 s.The Public Markets and Triple Ms evidently think the best way to keep the reputation made is not to play any more and both are diligently perform ing in that direction.
 "As the playing of tfre games with these teams would have been only a formahty. because there is no question of doubt as to the Key-Lo's being able to easily beat either team. the Key Los are the undisputed cham pions of the city.

NEWARK DEFI 10
 BO6ASH BROTHERS

Dave S1obodien of Newark, N. J., suggests a return bout with Patsy Rogash and Joe Senter. Slobodien says he has $500 to wager that the Newark boxer can put Patsy away if the pair ever meet again. Looks like a good match for the Bridge pert A. & A. card makers to con- slider. Here's Slobodien's letter:
 Sporting Editor.
 Bridgeport Times: I lhear that Patsy Bogash went back to Bridgeport after he was licked by Joe Senter in their recent bout here at the Eagles show. I want to say that Senter put it all over Patsy in every round and gave him a good facing. If BoSash or any of his admirers think the Bridgeport boy can lick Senter I am willing to see that another fight is arranged Gin Bridgeport if necessary), and stand willing to bet $500 I also want to state for the ben eft of Bridgeport fight enthu- si7sts, if they don't know it, that Pa.tsys brother. Louis. also got trimmed good and plenty by Phil Krug on the same night here. Bogash was 10 pounds heavier than Krug. but Krug is willing to fight him again here or in Bridgeport. and give him Is pounds, if Bogash wants to hog everything on the weight oueS- ton. If there is anything doing let me know.
 Yours in sport,
 DAVID SLOBODIEEN."

 Bates claims he has been in Pitts field three years and is deSirous pf a change. He claims he is going to inform the Pittsf1eld management to this effect and ask for a new resi- dence next year.
