UMPIRE AND FAN FIGHT
AS RESULT OF HECKLING
Conroy and Icenan Who Abuses Him
Swap Punches Under Pittsfeld
;irandStand.

Pittsfeld, Aug. IA fan attacked
Umpire Marty Conroy after the dot
le-header here yesterday afternoon
and the fan and arbter had it out for
few minutes back of the grand
stand.
The fight attracted large crowd,
Conroy alleges the fan, who is said to
be an iceman, was "on" him all
through the second game, calling him
vile names Conroy was working on
the bases and he caught the dis
pleasure of the whole first base
bleachers by a decision he made in
the third inning which doubled up
Gagnon at first base. ,..-
- Several times, Conroy claims, he
wanted to come onto the field and
fight. Conroy suggested that they go
to the clubhouse after the game and
settle the argument. The minute the
game was over the fan met Conroy
and they went out back of the grand
stand. The fight was brief, for the
men were soon separated, but from all
accounts available the battle was de-
cidedly in favor Of the Eastern League
umpire. '-'t 4

|WOULDLEAGUE BALL
PAY in This CITY?
Runor Says New Britain May
Have Eastern League Franchise

| A rumor which has been circulated
in New Haven is to the effect that
President George Weiss Of the New
Haven baseball club of the. Eastern
League, is planning to purchase the
franchise of the Reading club and
thereby swing his team into the high
or International circuit. George, him
self, hasn't said word on the sub
ject, but the mere. mention Of 1t re-
wives the query that was prevalent In
this city year ago as to whether
New Britain would take over fran
chise in the Eastern League, should
one be open.
In the minds of many New Brf-
tainites, the game would pay here II
the city should be entered once again
in the Eastern League. First of all,
however. a man big enough to con-
duct club would have to come for
ward and there are certainly many Of
them in New Britain, and a place
would have to be selected and built
where the games could be played.
See Hartford Games.
The question then arises, How
about the attendance and the sup
port here?'' Anyone who has visited
the Hartford Eastern League LAll
park during the past week will read
lily feel that there is a great deal OF
interest in baseball in this city. The
spacious grandstands in the capital
city were plentifiily filed with en-
thusiastic fans and close scrutiny of
the faces showed a preponderaAce of
visitors and most of these CALI New
Britain their home. -sts
One day last week, when a double
header was being played In the Hart
ford lot, the ticket sellers and the tic
sand people from New Britain passed
through the gates that day. When
asked how they knew the New Britain
people from the others, they stated
that they were well acquainted with
the New Britainites who passed in.
Besides this, they stated that hun
dreds of New Britain fans were regu-
lar attendants at the Hartford games.
Baseball Would Pay.
Judging from this unofficial statis-
teal information, league baseball in
New Britain would pay. Count 1000
fans who are able to go to Hartford
and then add the number who would
not be able to go to the Capital city
but who would find time to attend
here if the game were. at home, and a.
fair sized number could be computed.
A canvass of the city, not such a
one as census taker would take. but
a general concensus of opinion, would
indicate that the return of league
baseball to the Hardware City would
be baiied with joy by the sporting ell
ement, 9nd the sporting element in
New Britain is large one, though at
times it is not evident. Mention
league ball here, and there viii be
joyful tales of the games that used to
be at Electric field and then a des-
crying of the fact that New Britain
hasn't a ball team in the league.
One comes to the conclusion that
the Hardware City is well able to sup
port baseball team, providing it is a
league team Many Of the cities
which are represented by baseball
teams in the Eastern League, are
voicing encouragement of the fact
that baseball is not paying there.
Worcester is one, Bridgeport is an
other, Albany is another, while Spring.

WEAK DEFENSE is
pills Main FAULT
Art Fletcher Not Discouraged by
Teams Poor Standing
BY BILLY EVANS.

l
Philadelphia. Aug. Flew mana
gers are encouraged with a seventh
place ball club, but Arthur Fletcher
OF the Philadelphia Nationals is an ex
ception.
From the low position of the Phil
lies one gets a picture of a disorgan
lied, dissatisfied collection Of bal
players. But quite the contrary is the
condition in Art I'letcher's family, and
Fletch, at present is seeing daylight
for the first time in his managerial
career.
The main difficulty with the Phil.
lies, in Fletcher's opinion, has not
been weak pitching as has been re-
ported by the judges of the press box
Far from that. 1t has been a weak
defense on the left side of the field.
In the first place, 1t must not be
forgotten that Fletcher had to- piece
together his infied from a rather mot
ley collection. He has Walter Hole
last year with Boston, at first; started
with Parkinson and now has Cotton
Tierney, formerly with the Pirates, at
second Heinie Sand, last season with
Salt Lake, is at short and third base
has been turned over to Wrightstone
Up until this season these four had
never played together before.
I'VE may look bad where we are. u
remarked Fletcher the other day,
but don'tS judge everybody by their
looks-particularly this ball club.
Not exaggerating, I know of at
least Il games that were lost through
weak fielding around the left side of
the infied-games, let me tell you,
that we had won and were lost by one
fielding slip. --.
I'VE had the Giants beaten In six
games this season closing the seventh
inning, and lost them down the
stretch. Figures will support my talk,
Can't beat that for tough luck-whip-
ping the world champions right down
to the stretch and then losing.
II cannot say too much for the
boys on my club-each and every one
of them. People who have not seen
us play probably imagine that it is a
ioy-ride with us. The spirit is excel
lent and you see us hustling whether
we are 10 runs behind or 10 in front
What better illustration would you
want than the home run record being
made by Cy Williams? When play
ers are sulking and loafing they aren't
hitting home runs. There is a fine
moraR around the camp but you know
it takes time to rebuild ball club.
MY neighbor across the street--Mr.
Mack--will youch for that
Let me name one pitcher who is
entitled to praise this season He is
Jimmy Ring. When great pitchers are
mentioned for this season, don't over
look Ring.
Il am not talking about the fu-
ture, but you'll see the Phillies in the
first division within two years and
once we get that high you're going to
see us mighty close to getting up as
a pennant contender" e-f.
The biggest shock of the National
league season was presented by the
Phillies when they bowled over Pat
Moran's Cincinnati Reds in double
header winning to j and to /.
With the Giants on the ragged edge
the west for their second in
vasion there was the opening for al
team behind to come along and pass
them.
The Reds were favored by the vast
majority and Just when it looked as
il they were going to make the grade,
the Phils came along and whacked
them twice in single afternoon.

GOVERNOR ALLOWS
MANY BILLS TO Die
continued from first pagel

was another bill that the Governor al
lowed to die. A separate House bill
abolishing the filing fee was allowed
to die.
Senator Murphy's bills one repeal

Board to 81, 1000 received a pocket veto.

all the industrial plants in the State.
Efforts of some of the Senators to
cripple the Automobile Titling De-
partment under the Secretary of State
also went for naught as bill along
this line passed by the legislature

ment which has done such excellent
work in assisting to trace stolen cars.
Two House bills put through by the
Department to reduce the salaries OF
Republican Office holders in New Cas-
tie County were allowed to die as was
the House bill providing for a five
member instead of the present three
member Levy Court in Sussex coun-
ty.

Diary lines of the Levy Court districts
in Wilmington was not signed. The
House bill providing for the Little

received a pocket veto.

lowed to die were the following:
Senate Bill, No. 54-Prohibiting Off
GERS and departments of the State and
institutions from creating deficits to
