MITCHELL, TWO YEARS "BENCH WARMER" FOR TANKS, MAKES
 GOOD WITH RED S0X CLUB

The predictions of many Bridgeport fans that Johnny Mitchell, the Frisco shortstop, would make good after his swap to the Red Sox, have come true. Williams is hitting the ball hard and fielding in brilliant fashion, after being a Bench warmer for two sea- sons.
 There is no doflbt that the players are entitled to more consideration than they get under existing condi- tions. If a player is not given a chance on one club, he ought to be able to demand that he be trans ferred to another club, where his chances would be better. This does not apply in the case of a last place club who would appeal for a transfer to a championship team.
 For two years Johnny Mitchell,
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-09-06

who came from the minors as one of the best shortstop prospects or years, sat on the Yankee bench. It's cinch that he wasn't improving his gama Eearly this season. Ty Cobb wanted to take him away from the Tanks but offers were refused and it was only in a pinch that Yank owners let him go to the Red Sox
 The same holds good for Lefty O'Doul, young Yanke pitcher. He held the bench for a season and was sent back to San Francisco where he led the league in pitching. Other major league clubs wanted him. but been on the bench all season. With another team where he might get at least a show he might develop into a $10,0o0 or S15,0O0 pitcher. He can't by sitting on the bench.

MARKETS AND TERMS
 IN TWILIGHT CLASH

The Bridgeport Terminals and the Public Market nine will furnish the fireworks this afternoon at No. Diamond, Seaside Park. The Rail- roaders are very anxious to cop this game as it will give them an even break in their series.
 The winners in the Mercantile League won their first two starts but met their Waterloo in the third en- counter. Joe Iiptak will undoubtedly draw the assignment to bend them over for the Marketeers, and Smith will support him behind the bat
 Lefty Hanson, who proved quite a stumbling block to the Telephone Boys, last week. will occupy the hill for the Terminals and ttSi" Reising will be his running mate. The game will be called shortly after 5:3O and Tom Whaley will officiate as umpire

William T. Ti1den. the national champion completed a day of triumph for this country by taking the meas ure of James O. Anderson, in a sem sational five set match that amounted only to an exhibition of brilliant ten- his so far as bearing on the final re- suit was concerned. Johnston had cast the deciding point in Americas favor. But the Tilden-Anderson con test with the Australian showing vastly better form than he did against Johnston in the first singles encount- CTS Friday, was a thrilling anti-c1imax and gave the series to the defenders by four matches to one. The scores were 6-4, 5-7, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2- The in vaders' sole triumph was in the doubles, which Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood won from Tilden and Vincent Richards Saturday
 Patterson Outgenera1ed.
 Johnston scored by far the most decisive victory of an unbeaten record as an internationalist. At no time did Patterson have a chance against his uncanny court covering and ter rife driving.

 MT. Hunt is an Al selection. In the four years that he has been coach of the local High school football teams, he has produced unusual re suits. giving the Red and Black four of the very best elevens in the history of B. H. $. sport. A
 MT Hunt has the faculty of deve1- oping first rate teams even though he does not always have the material required for the task.
 JuSt1Ghow good or bad team he will g]4ave this year is more or less a matter of speculation. Only five of last years regulars will be available for the 1922 campaign, namely, How ard Seeley, halfback; Aqui1la Adams, guard; Frank Mertens, end; Jaycox, guard, and Ray Shea, quarterback. But this limited supply of veterans does not phase the Red and Black mentor.

 There's a chance that Babe
