Douglas stated in New Ycrk last night he had written to Mann.
 Epresing surprise when told by a reporter that Douglas had named him as the player to whom he had written offering to throw down. the New York team if it was worth my while" Mann also denied that he held any telephone conversation with the New York pitcher. Douglas said in his New York statement he telephoned Man at Boston and requested him to tear Up the correspondence

MISS WILLS, GIRL
 TENNIS WIZARD IN
 BIG BATTLE TODAY

Forest Hills. N. Y. Aug. 19-A de- mure, .sun-kissed miss of Is Califor- nia summers, Miss Helen Wills, stands today at the threshold of an opor- tunity which youth Is permitted to serve once in a generation.
 All week she has been knocking with a steady tap-ta,D that yesterday threw the door aiar. Today she must muster every vestige of nerve, she has to throw back the panel, 10 walk in and occupy the throne of womnns tennis champion of the na- tion.
 Seated there today as she sat the last five years is Mola Bjurstedt Nal lory. An American by marriage she is a Morse woman, born with all the uncompromising determination of the Viking.
 Mrs. Mallory, though a veteran in the game, is not old and cannot be cast in the role of age. Miss Wills is but child and her precocity places her in the gallery of prodigies.
 The young Californian has been handling racquet less than four years; she is facing her first big crowd and is exhibiting for the first time before expert critics.

 4 local sport has come forward with the suggestion that Bridgeport oarty of 100 or more be organized to be at the ringside on that night to do all they can to encourage our friend Jim along in his battle.
 It's a pretty good idea and Fritz Musante is open to hear from fans on the subject.

HERE'S A LETTER
 BOOSTING M'CANN

Sporting Editor, The Times:
 Dear Sir - Your article in last nights issue regarding the baseball club hit the nail on the head. The Bridgeport club is way down in the race. but it is not the fault of Gene McCann. The players have been taking advantage of his good nature. I don't say all, but some. Your story tells the fans of the real failure of the Brid dgeport team this season. Mc- Cam has been subjected to a lot of criticism on the street corners. but the true facts are that some of his players are too slow for Eastern League company. I've known Me Cam for seven years and I know he is up to all of the fine points in the game, but if he cant get players fast enough that's not his fault. 1 agree with you that there ie too much sky larking around at nights by some of
 the players who ought to be home studying the rule books. I hope Me Cam takes your warning and fires all the malcontents. These trouble | makers are no good in baseball or any other sort of business.

PHIL DOUGLAS
 LETTER REVEALED

Chicago, Aug. 19-Organized base ball has made it's answer to the charge of Phil Douglas. Giant exile, that he was the victim and not the plotter in the recent scandal of the diamond.
 Commissioner kenesaw M Landis made public the document in the case to have written to a player on an- other team. It was: ,,,a T T want to leave here. I don't win the pennant. You know I can pitch, and I am afraid if I stay I will win the pennant for him.
 Talk this over with the boys. and if it is all right send the goods to my house at night and I will go to fish ing camp. Let me know if you aR will want to do this, and I will go home on the next train.''
 Judge Landis did not reveal how the letter was signed.
 T have read the statement attrib- uted to Douglas about his innocence,' that this letter makes me doubtful about it. Of course, if he appeals to me will hear his plea and listen to his evidence But look at this at the phrase, Talk this over with the boys Further down he says, Let me know if pau all will want to do this indicating that Douglas had doubts whether they would agree to this amazing proposition. I would call this damaging evidence" Tt was the New York club and mo- body else that took this action,' said the judge. Don't try to take the credit from McGraw. He did big thing for baseball.
 .tAs for Douglas he is more ignor- ant than anything e1se-a foolish, simple fellow who Is immoral rather than immoral He is amazingly credu1ous and is inexperienced in
 many sides of human nature-an easy dupe for others

 Emmerich Slams Ball.
 Bobby EmmeSich had a prof1ta ple day with the bat, larruping the ball for a triple and two singles. Ernn er- ich has recovered from a slump which was due to a lame shoulder.
 Five doubles were rapped out in the game-Smith, Miller, Howe, Kingdom and Long. being the artists.
 Bobby Miller's playing in the out field is of a high caliber. His bat ting is also timely.
 Howe and Fuller did the twiriing for Waterbury. Howe left theA1an1 with the score in his favor ana to him went the credit Of kae win.
 Shanty House pitched excellent ball for the locals after the derricking of Bornh oeft, the Brasscos hitting him for only two safeties.
 Dick Loftus is due the symparny stuff because he went hitless, there by shattering his record of hitting safely in 13 straight. Perhaps the "13" had something to do.
