 Cy Morgan, who pitched for Springfield last season, was the box sensation of the Eastern League last season and great things were predicted for his fu- ture when he got in under the big tent. He led the O'Nen cir cult pitchers in wins last season and joined the Braves, but he is in secIusion, being used only as an emergency boXman.
 President John HeydIer of the National League, says the out field play this year is the best he has seen in many a season. He thinks the lively ball has helped to make it more spectacular, the gardeners being driven to the limit to make catches of hard hit drives. NOW and then one does go over the fence. that is true, but for every one that goes over OutfeIdcrS race to the corners and drag down a dozen.
 Jake Daubert says the trouble with baseball is that it has be- come too mechanical too set. He thinks the fans want sonnet hing surprising and upsetting in the way Of play now and then.

 UP TILLMAM
 IN FAST BOUT

Louise Bogash made a big lift be- fore Boston fight fans last night by his decisive win over Johnny TillnaE. the Minneapolis welterweight. Bo- gash was trained to the minute and had no trouble in disposing of the boxer from the Northwest.

During the remainder of the fight Bogash outfought his foe to a stand still the latter taking lot of pun ishment. Fans expected to see Bo- gash land a kayo, but the local bat tier failed to exert himself to the limit and the fans got a long run for their money.

OLd .Tna MUtrie
 Is Heard From

New York, Aug. 2O.-OId Jim Mutrie, who managed the Met ropolitans back in 1883, 'S4 and 1855, was a visitor in the press box at the Polo Grounds yester- day afternoon and was busy making comparisons between the players of today and those of the era when Jim was in his hey day. Mutrie did not hold that all the great ones played in the by gone era. ''We had some great teams in our day, but there seems to be some great ones now too." declared Mutrie, who is 11 years old and still very much inter- ested in tho major league races.
 'There is one thing to which object strongIy,'' said Jim. 'T do not think that men should be taken out for pinch hitteE,s. In our day it was a battle royaI--a picked nine against a picked nine. Why, one day in Buffalo, one of my players could not continue and asked permission to send in another man. That permission was not given. But, that was go- ing the limit the other way

Kid Lewis, Canadian feather weight champion, is one of the fastest and cleyerest performers ever seen in the state In his 12 round battle with Kid Kaplan of Hartford, in Meriden, last night, the ex-Canadian made the Meriden bearcat miss aplenty throughout the fray. Lewis superb cleverness enabled him to cop the first five rounds with the eXcep- ton of the second which went to Kaplan by a wide margin. But Kap- Ian came back and copped all of the remaining rounds with the exception of the ninth which was even.
 The semi final of eight rounds be- tween Soldier Gibson of New Haven and Tracey Ferguson of Wallingford d was a corker. This soldier boy cer- tainIy could take punishment, as Fer guson hit him with everything in the
