WILD PITCH IN
I0TH GIVES GAME
TO M'CAHN'S MEN
(By Wagner.)
As Jawn J MoCrraw- recently said m
one of his dollar a word articles, 'ift's
the tittle things that count m base
ball. Jawn said something- then.
Bridgeport and Waterbury struggled
for ten innings yesterday at Jtfewfleld
and In the final session the Mechan
ics had men on second and third and
two out.
Catcher Brady of the visitors sign'
d for a fast ball and pitcher Stev
enson nodded. But he crossed his
Catcher and threw a slow wide curve.
Brady was taken off bis guard and
the ball just touched his glove, then
rolled to the stand. Russell dashed
home with the winning run and Brady
hurled his mask to the ground in a.n-
ger.
That was the second time Stevenson
has crossed Brady that way. In a 13
inning game last Sunday ' he did the
same thing. He looks like a good
pitcher but be loses his nerve in a
pinch. Waterbury secured him from
the St. , Louis Nationals. The ball
that let in' the final tally should be
scoped as a wild pitch because the
catcher didnt have a fair chance to
stop it under the circumstances.
It was a tame endlne? to a fine game.
The Mechanics couldn't do much with
Stevenson's cross fire and made .only
four hits. Frank Rapp, the new south
paw, made hJs second appearance and
got in Tight. ; He had his curve ball
working well and six of the enemy
fanned. - Only six safeties were yield
ed, two of those , going to Kenneth
.Nash, the former Brown university
star. 'After the first inning, water
bury cotddnt score. - Nash's stnsrle.
Ms eteal and Htoey" double made- that
run. '
Bridgeport evened up tn the third.
Rapp strolled and Bowman -sacrificed.
Boultes took tlwee swings bttt Steamer
Flanagan's grounder went through
(Baker's legs and Rapp registered.
The Bridgeport Infield played snap
py ball, the only error being- the drop
tine of a thrown ball by MoGanrwell.
BowuBtu snd Stow made several good
stops. Xn the second rstevensom jolt
ed s grounder over tbecniddle bag and
Stow made a detszling one hand stop.
Dusty Phlflips robbed Howie ; Baker
of a triple by a running1 catch in the
fourth. The score: :

Harry Spra-tt, who played shortstop
for the Mechanics last season, Is now
manager of the Selma, Ala., team of
the Cotton States league. He was sent
to Selma from Montgomery of the
Southern league & few weeks ago and
when the manager resigned, Spratt was
given the job. The former BrMgepo it
er was greatly weakened by an opera
tion performed last spring' and the,t
accounted' for the -slump In , his playing.
Manager Hugsrine of the St. Louis
Nationals admits he made a cash offer
for Pltclier Booth Hopper of the New
Haven club. Hopper was once with
St. Zjdnls, when Roger Breenahan was
manager. Hopper was found In a
small league tn Tennessee. He was
sent to tbe Three Eye league and then
went to Memphis, Tenn., from which
club New Haven got him.
Bridgeport picked up a live one In-
Southpaw Rapp. He reminds the old
time fans of Warren McLaughlin -who
used to labor for New London. Rapp
has remarkably good control. In his
two games be issued only two passes.
Owner Sam Kennedy of the Water
bury franchise was in. New York Wed
nesday trying- to land a third base
man bat he returned yesterday empty
handed. He says it ia Juard to get
men at this time in the season. : He
concluded to give Howie Baker of
this city another chance. The . local
boy played a. fair game yesterday.

Catcher Billy Vann, last year with

was drafted from the Senators by In

low has been 1 going . great in the
American association. -
Btll Luby, the veteran . outfielder.
signed -with New London and played
in the doublet header against Holyoke
yesterday. He didn't get a hit but
that was probably due to his long ab-
Bnoe from the game.
Johnny Barron, the pitcher traded
to Lowell for Blossom Blum -was re
leased by Lowell. He' eat on the
Bridgeport bench yesterday. Manager
McCaim said Johnny was simply work
ing- orrt and had not been signed ' by
Bridgeport. -'
It ia reported thait Manager McGraw
of the Giants ' has " offered Infielder
Grants Pitcher Fromme . and First
Baseman Merkle to St. Louis for First
Baseman Konetchy. . Guess the little
Napoleon Isn't satisfied with his pres
ent line up. . . "
The Mechanics left this . morning
for Holyoke for a two day stay. As
the Paperorakers have . Just finished
trimming New London three straight,
they feel pretty chesty. Blossom Blum
was slated to work. On . Sunday
Springfield will play the locals at
Newfleld. Robertallle or Tuckey will
pitch, ,
As Pittsfleld rolled Hartford for a
couple of games yesterday and Spring
field beat New Haven,' Bridgeport
worked" up to a tie with New ' Haven
for- first place. It's a great race this
season.

1 MAJOR LEAGUES
Manager Charley Doom of the Phil
lies took a mean slap at the Superbae,
Pirates and Cubs, when he said that
the Giants are the only team he fear
ed. ' . . :':
Otto Jordan, the old Brooklyn star
and later pilot of the Atlanta. Crack
ers, is managing the Valdosta, (Ga.)
team of the Empire state league.
It is not safe to ten any American
league pitcher that Ty Cobb's eye
sight is on the blink, when the bat
ting averages show that Ty ie hit
ting for .500 or better.
The Filipino baseball team "which
is to perform dn this country this sum
mer, has a pitcher by the name of
Jaropilla. That's a nice name for a
shooter of the. pill.
The Washington ' infield has been in
a bad -way this season. - McBride,
Gandil. Laporte and Morgan " have all
been injured at' ' different times and
forced to lay off the Job.
Two old time big leaguers, Manag
er "Lefty" Davis of the .Winona team
and Manager Bob tlnglaub of the Min
neapolis team are leading the new
Norhtem league in batting.
Boston bleocherttes seem to' delight
in bawling out Bill Sweeney. " Bill is
playing as fine an all arottnd game
as any man tn the business, and yet
the bugs are not satisfied. '
Leading the American association - In
both club batting and club fielding
doesn't seem to get the St. Paul team
anything. ' The team -has .been rest
ing in the second division nearly all
season.
A ball player who wjuldnM at first
sight be considered an educated man
Is Mendez, the . black Cuban pitcher.
"Juet for fun." ys Armadillo Mar
Bass of the Cincinnati , elub, "some of
us rented a banquet room In Havana
last winter and gave Mendez a. feast.
Even those of us who had been play
ing beside him for years knew nothing
of his 'off field character,' and we
thought it would be great sport to
hear this. Ignorant Negro talk and see
him conduct himself at a. swell feed.
Mendez left us tied to a post,- as it
were. All night long, that black man
said n otM ng what ever as to baseball,
dice, gin, or even chickens. He sat
there faultlessly dreesed, and talked
of music, poetry, Shakespeare and
Cervantes, of the world politics and
the balance of power, of -Abstract sci
ence and , the advance of medical
knowledge."
WASHINGTON FANS '

Baseball fans In Washington are not
treating President Wilson with the re
spect due the- -chief executive, who
has been atten-fing games- regularly
at the national capital. He is bailed
with "Hello, Woody," and similar ex
pressions and J. B5d Grlllo, baseball
writer of the Washington Star, comes
forward with - this rebuke: "While
President WJlson with his usual good
sense and adaptability ' to conditions
has treated with affable tolerance the
familiarity with, which he has at times
been saluted by- persons in the audi
ence in the baseball games which he
has attended in this city, It should not
be overlooked that such hilarity may
be pursued until it becomes- presump

are inclined to indulge in . such expres
sions of intimacy to bear in, mind that
while as an individual he mght be
gratified by spontaneous manifesta
tions of popularity of even such ques
tionable taste, it is impossible to con
sider his status as a citizen apart from
his position as the incumbent of the
presidential office, and " that the dig

Gales Ferry, Oonn.; June 6 "After
the past few days with the Yale crew
it is clear to. me that they are. im
proving," said Harcourt Gold, the for
mer.. Oxford stroke and coach, at the
conclusion of the practice of the. oars
men yesterday morning. "Their ap
plication of. pswer is .better, and I
think we shall soon be able, to see a
marJtea. increase in the number of
strokes per minute. I have been
pleased with the crew' ever since I ar
rived and I have noted progress every
day. We are trying to raise the stroke
gradually, and expect 1 to have it up
two or ' three points ; more in a few
days."
Capt. Rodgers said of . the situation
"Just now we are trying- to round out
the . stroke. We have a distinct ad
vantage In the fact that . no changes
from the present makeup are directly
In view. : I do not say that there will
be no more changes, but we are plan
ning none.. The problem now Is with
the boat" as seated.- It is; working well
together and Gold's coaching makes
an impression every day. The crew
is coming along gradually and - we "are
pleased with , the outlook. The - crew
is one of the best Yale has had in
years." .
, Some of the former Yale oarsmen do
not agree with ; the Yale policy In
transplanting the English stroke bod
ily' nor with the policy that calls for
a race with Harvard alone. Robert
Appleton, '86, wants Yale to meet oth
er universities, and Ire confesses to
an admiration for. the, Cornell stroke
taught by Charles Courtney in prefer
ence to the Imported British article.
CMir. ' Appleton, who Is father Of Jack
Appleton, coach of the Yale freshman
eight, said: ' -' '
"Unfortunately my leanings are wltn
the so-called American stroke as rowed
by Cornell, which te similar to the
Cook stroke as rowed in 1886 and for a
few years later. Nevertheless I think
that Averill Harriman deserves great
credit for endeavoring to carry out the
plans he has studied and that he be
lieves in with so much enthusiasm.
Now that Yale has gone in for the
English method let every one give it
a fair trial. . : :
"To really prove its merits our crew
should row against Cornell or Colum
bia, and evidently Princeton must be
reckoned with on the water in the fu
ture. I hope that another year will
see Yale competing in some of the
early spring races, as do the other
American crews of the first class."

THREE CREWS ON
HUDSON RIVER, NOV
Foughkeepsie, N. Y.. June f-Coaeh
Hiram Conibear had his Washington
oarsmen out for their first row on
the Hudson yesterday afternoon, -and
he announced that his crews would
practice only once a day every after
noon between 4 and 5 o'clock, the time
scheduled for the big race on June 21.
This is an innovation, as every coach
has his crews on the river twice la day
rowing from five to nine' miles at each
practice.
Late yesterday afternoon the eiyht
crews of Cornell, Columbia and Wash
ington were on the course together,
and, under ideal conditions the oars
men had the most satisfactory prac
