O'COnnOr Was
 In Record Game

''OId town looks the same as it did two years ago, the last time I was heFe.' remarked Pat O'COnnor, Albany manager, at the corner of Main and Fair field avenue, last evening, after he hit a hash house menu for home run.
 Pat, then with the New York Americans, caught the memOra- bie game that was played in 5S minutes at NeHficld Park against Bridgeport. The YanlzS scored two runs in the first and con- tented themselves with that and Speeded through the game at a FecOrd-brealxinS clip in order to catch a train. Alec Ferguson pitched for the Tanks that day
 O'COnnOr is getting Lawmakers out of their rut. The veteran is full of pep and is injecting ginger into his players in large doses with splendid results.
 With O'Connor at the helm Albany will be heard from before the flag chase ends. Pat was a great player himself in the majors with the Yanks and Pitts burgh, and his presence in a uni- form is a cOuraSe-breeder for youngsters

SAVE STRENGTH.
 CARPENTERS AIM
By JAMES J. CORBETT, Former Heavyweight Champion

lCOpyr1SnJ l. -N- S-) New York, June 2S-I dropped in on Georges Carpenter at Manhasset about s o'clock the other evening. I expected to find the challenger sit ting on the veranda or the lawn He was not in sight.
 Presently he came up to the house from the big harm in which he does his gymnasium work. He was flushed and persPiring. ''Ah, working as you expect to work when you get into the ring with Dempsey next Saturday?''
 Carpenter laughed and winked and said pleasantly:
 have just been going through some work that I consider very important. I did not get an opportunity to do it earlier in the day There were too many around.
 you see, I am so in earnest about this fight. am really training quite hard. To win means every thing to me, more by far than the money, though, of course, that is a great incentive. But to be cham pion of the world! That had been my dream for years and I will leave nothing undone to bring about its re- aliZation."
 Believe me, Georges is serious He has reasoned out his chances from every conceivable angle and the re- suit he obtained has convinced him that they are good.
 Will Let Jack Force Fight.
 While he told me nothing of his plans for the Dempsey fight, I inn agine that when he gets into the ring it will be with the intention of letting Dempsey force things and attempting to box him at long range Georges believes he can put across a winning punch once the opening comes, and he will be content to wait for it. He very probably figures also, that Demp- Sev may fire himself out and this Is a point well worth considering.
 In the Willard fight at Toledo Dempsey fought himself out in the first round. He gave Willard every thing he had and won his fight. No boxer ever expended more energy in one round than did Jack But against Carpenter this sort of action may be unsucc essful. For Georges is quick of fnnt he is of haE nd nd Dem InssN

Joe Leary's Injury Not
 Dangerous

utfe1der of the Albany team, who was hit on the head by one of the Bridgeport pitcher, in the third inn ing of yesterdays game. is not ser lously injured, it was reported at St. Vincents hospital this morning. It was feared that Leary's skull was restfu1 night. Although his in jury is stamped as not being of serious nature he will be out of the game for several weeks.
 The mishap to Leary cast @ pail over the game and recalled the tragic death of Ray Chapman, Cleveland's star shortstop, last July, as result of being hit in the head by a "bean
 Drops Cold to Ground.
 Ieary dropped unconscious to the plate when hit. It was a high ball but he only succeeded in getting partly out of its way. So speedy was the ball that 1t bounded off the players head. rolled over the ground grandstand. Players of both teams rushed to the assistance of the play CT and applied cold water and Dr. B. l. Smykowsk. who was fl spectator rendered first aid. The physician accompanied the player to St. Vim cents hospital and is now attending the victim.
 The game was delayed about 5 minutes. When play was resumed Reiger was sent to right field, and Payne shifted to Learys place in center garden.
 Umpire Also Injured.
 Umpire Mclaughlin was also a vic- ti4a of a painful accident in the fifth ir Ting when a foul line tip from B6ehling's bat smashed against his breast protector, the force of the ball cripp1ing the umpire and put ting him out of commission for a. few minutes. Mclaughlin display fed pluck and remained in the game, exchanging places with Umpire Wat CTS for the inning. while in the next inning he again took his station be- hip1 the plate.

will not find him as easy to hit.
 Dempsey has one glaring fault, as I see it. And that is his failure to re- lax He stands there ready to hit, muscles set and firm. He did it at Toledo when Willard was weaving around like a drunken man and un- able to harm him. He simply doesn't know the meaning of relaxation and in his case, with those tremendously heavy arms, failure to relax is bound to result in tiring out of the muscles.
 If Carpenter can carry him along, he will conserve his strength while Dempsey cxpends his, for the Frenchman has discovered the secret of relaxing. He can go the distance the better for it. too.

Eastern League Fun Chatter

Bridgeport still holds the record for nine straight defeats---nine. The Hartford Senators who hit the du.t eight times in succession scored a win over the Rillies in the only other game played.
 Joe Leary is not the only Albany player on the hospital list as q result of being injured in yesterdays game Rex Cox. former Hartford twirIer. who has been travelling fast of late is out of the game with d lame ankle
 It was Zip Sloan's pitching that broke Hartford's losing streak The Hartford fireman held the Hillies to seven hits.
 Six two-baggers and two triples were included in the 19 hits banged out by Senators and Hillies.
 With Bridgeport and Hartford win ming their games the Brown Derbies are separated by one point.
