 A couple of Bridgeport fans were spectators at a Newark-J erSey City game one day last week and returned home telling of a spectacular bonn bardment in which the erstwhile Brown Derby twirler won ticket for trip around the world, if he wants to take the trip.
 The score was to when the ninth inning closed, with Howe pitch ing for Newark. Briefly, the Jersey City clubsters got busy in the tenth and annihilated Howe's curves.
 ELEVEN RNUS had been scored when Manager Egan, of Jersey City. sent Tommy Ray to the bat under or ders to strike out. The final score of 15 to 4, Jersey City.

Johnny Mason On
 Open-Air Program

Johnny Mason, the nndefeated ann ateur 11S-pound champion of the city, is going to forsake the "simon pure" ranks for the more lucrative field of professional endeavor. Mason has been booked to meet Harvey Kelly in the curtain-ra1ser to the Boash- Rather event at the Wordin avenue arena, July 24.
 As an amateur, sporting the colors of the Venice A. C., Mason was fn- vincable. He was too good for the boys of his weight, and after licking everything around he finally decided to enter the money class.
 As professional Mason will give all the little fellows in these parts a tough rub for honors. He is posi- lively the most likely-looking medal hunters turned out of the Park City, He is endowed with no little clever ness, is rugged, has a nice left hand and better right. It won't be long before he will be at the top meeting the best boys of his division.

THIS IS NO BULL"

prise Owen Keenan, who has always been one of the most loyal of Bridge port rooters for years. Said MT. Keenan this morning:
 '"The Waterbury club Is doing something to get the crowd. They are getting new players and the fans are expecting something. They are spending money to win the pennant and the ans know it. Bridgeport is just as good baseball city as Waterbury and can turn out as large crowds The club needs new play c.s. Just now there is little fun for fans to go out to see the games. New players are NVanted.'

UMPIRES ARE DOING
 SPLENDID WORK

Eastern League umpires are doing splendid work this season. So far there have been few clashes on the field and less players busted from games than in several seasons. This is largely due in measure to Prexy Dan O'Neil's warning to players early in the season that they must keep their places. Bridgeport fans have seen excellent umpiring this season and have no reason to kick on that issue. Empires Brown and Talbot are continuing their high-grade work here during the present home sojourn of the Derbs and the same can be said of their predecessors. This sea- ~on the Eastern League has the most efficient staff of umpires in it's his tory.
