GREAT WORK BY
DEFEATS FAST
Robertaille , Pitches Well And M'Gamwell
r ;And Bowman Bat Heavily
The great pitching of Robertaille and
fine fielding enabled Bridgeport to
down Hartford yesterday in Hartford
by 3 to 0. The Hartford Courant says
of the battle.
Just when the Senators were going
at too notch speed ; and were hoping
against hope to cut down the lead of
the White Wings ' to less than three
rames .before their meeting tomorrow,
a cog in the machinery slipped and
they were handed a 3 to 0 defeat by
the Bridgeport aggregation yeszeraay
aftRrnoon at Wethersfleld avenue
erounds. From the score it would look
as if Manager Cross" and his clan had
it all their own way, but the actual
game was far different than the bare
score shows, and. it was only by the
narrowest margins that Bridgeport got
a wa.v with a win. -
Fred Rieger twirled for Hartford
and had his first defeat chalked up
against him. He was hit. hard by the
Bridgeport batsmen at times and two
of the runs that came in were clean
scores, though the tally sent across in
the ninth was due in a great measure
to Morley'e error and a bit of slow
work in the infield.
Robertaille - was on the mound for
the visitors and he was hit hard, but
it was one of those day when (the
harder the Senators hit the ball the
more certain it was to go directly into
the hands of a waiting fielder. Time
and again long, low flies were smashed
into the outfield that under ordinary
circumstances would go for 1 at least
one base, but. yesterday they went
straight into the hands of the Bridge
port outfield for easy outs. Three
times at least Bowman raced for balls
that gave every evidence of being
headed straight across the second
sack, only to have them take , a lucky
bound and swerve to meet him, mak
ing it an easy matter for him to toss
out the runner at the initial sack." m
fact, every time when Hartford seemed
to have a chance to even up the score,
the luck broke against them, or
Bridgeport would pull off a bit of sen
sational fielding and keep Robertaille
out of difficulty.
Hartford, at that, had some chances
to tally, but lacked the step to count.
Twice runners were put out at the
home plate by inches and if one or
PITCHERS' RECORDS
IN BIG LEAGUES NOW
Joe . Boehling . stumbled last week
and spoiled his clean record for no
defeats, but in spite of the two games
he lost he is still the real leader of
the American league pitchers, ' but
with the wonderful Walter Johnson so
close up that Joe will have to hustle
to keep the latter from going to the
front. That Washington has the best
two winning pitchers ia a substantial
reason for its standing in the race.
That able corps of Cleveland pitch
ers, - FaJkenberg, Gregg, Mitchell,
Blanding and Cullop, improved -- its
winning percentages during the week.
The following is the record of lead
ing American league pitchers up to
and including the game of Saturday:
Pitcher and club, W., L. P.C.
Shawkeyfi Philadelphia, 2 0 1,000
Boehling, Washington, 11 2 .84 6

Mitchell, Cleveland, 12 7 .632
Of the 22 games he has pitched this
year Christ Mathewson of the
Giants has won 17 for a season's mark
of .773. There are two men who have
won 80 per cent, of their games, these
being Demaree of the New York club
and Riacey of Philadelphia. Demaree,
however, has pitched only ten games,
and Rixey , fras been held responsible
for only five.
McQuillan, who - is - with Pittsburgh
now that he has come. back to the big
league, has won : three ; of the four
four games he has pitched and seems
to be in- excellent form. Seaton of
Philadelphia, however, is really the
next man to Mathewson, for in his 21
games he also has won 17, the same
as Matty,, but has dropped six, one
more! than the New York artist.
Marqiiard of New York has a record
of .737 to date, : but lately has been
pulled, out :' of ' several games, and, as
the Giants eventually have won be
hind some . other pitcher, Marq.uard'3
record pn paper really is better than
his actual value to the team. Tha

AUSTRALIA TURNING
OUT GOOD FIGHTERS
" (By T. S. Andrews.) ',
The Pacific coast will ' not have a
corner on all the . lightweights the
coming fall and winter season, al
though they will have:quite a bunch of
stars to select from. Australia is mak
ing a bid for some very good boys in
the. 133-135 t pound class' and when
he - recrolar season onens will have
feome . high class light weights, ready
for the 20-round game. At the pres
ent time Hughie 'Mehegan, the Austra
lian champion is home, having re
turned from England and Matt Wells,
the former British champion" who lost
a point decision to Freddie Welsh, has
just landed on Australian shores. Pal
Brown, the clever Minnesota . light-"
weight, who sailed last Tuesday fori
Kangarooland; will hot be the only
late arrival, for Owen Moran, . the
British 130 pounder, who fought, and
defeated Battling Nelson, later losing
to Ad Wolgast,. will have sailed from
the port of Liverpool about the same
time Brown left and they Will land
about the same time. In addition
there are other clever lightweights in
Australia, among them Herb McCoy,
Alf. Morey, Joe Russell, Alf. Spence
ley and Frank Picato, the American
Italian of California. Pal Brown will
have some tough men to meet In Mc
Coy,' Russell; Wells and Mehegan, but
the Minnesota boy is chuck full of
confidence and should ogive a splendid
account of himself. Another Yankee
who is anxious to go over is Young
Saylor.the Indianapolis lad, who has
placed himself under the management
of Ray Bronson, who visited Austra
lia three years ago. . Bronson is after
a match with Johnny. Summers, the
British welterweight champion, for the
world's title, and if the inducements
are big enough- he may go. If he
does he will take Saylor.with him, and
then the two may circle around the
globe again, coming home via Europe.

KEATING WIN BOUTS
John Lester Johnson knocked out
"Fighting Bob" Lee in the third round
and Jack Keating of the U. S. Navy
stopped George Gall, who claims to be
the ex-champion heavyweight of the
army, in the fourth round of the star
bouts scheduled for ten rounds last
night at the Atlantic Garden A. C,
New York. ' ,
The last named, contest, staged as
the feature event, resulted in a rather
disappointing way, as the ex-soldier
entered the ring with excess fat and
gave evidence of not being in condi
tion. After taking . a pounding and
never once landing a telling blow In
return, his seconds, to save him " fur
ther punishment, thVew up the sponge
in the fourth round. He weighed 211
pounds against 187 for Keating, and
from the very outset Keating Mad the
upper hand.
In the first ten-round session John
son kept up a steady attack on Lee,
and in the third round a well-directed
right to the point of the jaw put him
down for the . count.
BROOKLYN MAGNATE
- ' ON SCOUTING TRIP
Chicago, Aug. 6 After yesterday's
game President Charles H. ETbbets of
the Brooklyn Baseball Club and Larry
Sutton, scout for the Dodgers, left for
a trip through the minor league f
the Middle West .and East. The need
of pitching talent has been impressed
upon the Brooklyn Club president and
he will look ; over several promising
youngsters enroute.
Mr. Ebbets Is not averse to talcing
veterans - who still have steadiness.
The trade bringing Reulbach, who is
wild in spots, has helped only a little
toward relieving the Dodgers. With
Rucker of practically no winning
worth at the present time; the
Dodgers' pitching staff is very feeble.
N. Y.
YACHT CLUB
HAS 86 IN CRUISE
New London, Aug. -6- A fleet of 86
yachts,- all flying the- "red cross on
the blue" burgee of the New York
Yacht dub",- put . to sea today, for the
annual cruise along the New England
coast with Newport as the destination
of the day's run, '
.jihe flee was' about equally divided
between sail and steam or gasoline
and while the canvas craft section was
again closely split between one and
two stickers, there was a' pronounced
preponderance of modern gasoline
boats over ancient ateam craft in the
power division. '
The listless conditions, however, of
the morning gave "many of the yachts
men' a chance to chat over the meet
ing, last night, on the flagship Sea
Fox, which was attended by ' nearly
four score captains and at which there
were some- interesting developments'.
, After Secretary George A. Cormack
had called the roll, Commodore Delias
Bache Pratt formally welcomed the
blue coated skippers and explained
some of the minor details of the
cruise. He urged the power division to
keep a weather eye on the sailing
fleet in the run around Cape Cod on
Monday and to lend the tow line if
oacasion required. He also referred
to the loss sustained by Vice-Commodore
George F. ' Baker, Jr., and the
retirement from the sport for the sea
sn of that flag officer. . The absence
of Vice-Commodore Baker was great
ly regretted as he was the principal
promoter of the new knookabout fleet
of 50 foot sloops. y
It developed at the meeting that of
eight of the 50 footers left in the fleet
after the retirement of the venture.
Ave will make the run around the
cape to Marblehead and will enter for
the special race arranged by the East
ern Yacht Club on August 15 and for
which Captain S. Reed Anthony, of
Boston, has contributed some hand
some pieces of old silver.
It also appeared that the well
known class of P sloops, made up this
year of the Stranger, Josephine, Wind
ward, Joyant, and Corinthian are
planning to 'keep on from Newport,
tomorrow, and sail a team race with
the Marblehead representatives of 'the
class, probably on Saturday.
The commodore announced that the
fleet would illuminate at Newport on
August 8. the night of the King's cup
race, and that the rowing races for
the Owl and Gamecock colors would
be held in Vineyard Haven on Sunday
forenoon.
This 5 minutes of silence to cele
brate the- anniversary of peace with
England is a pretty idea, but probably
Jack Johnson couldn't , bln ... cutting
out his muffler.
AROUND THE CIRCUIT
Tom Crooke Not Satisfied With
With Albany Club V
j (By Wagner.)
;Tom Crooke, the former Bridgeport
first' baseman, does not enthuse very
much over his Job in Albany, N. Y.
According to Attorney George F.
Mara, who recently saw Crooke, the
first baseman would be glad to get
away. He savs the tnrjm v,oo
drawing and the fans have been get-
H"B mm uecause or his slump
in bflt;ng.
.Bridgeport picked up a mascot in
Hartford yesterday. He was a thin
man who needed a hair cut- and he
wore two suits, one over the other. He
started 'to tell the, boys about his ath
letic ability and was told to display
his wares. The old boy went up the
street about two blocks from the ho
tel where the players were staying,
and after getting a flying start came
tearing down the lina He finished
with a headspring in front of the ho
tel. . After that he was declared elect
ed and was taken out to the ball park
where he put on a player's cap. and
rooted hard for Bridgeport. He was
standing on the platform when the
Grossmen left - Hartford last night. .,
Friday will be ladles' day at New
field park and the fair sex will have
a chance to see Waterbury play.
Manager Cross tried to get outfield
er Geopge Brickley from the Athletics
but Connie Mack wrote that he had
promised the youngster not, to farm
him out this season. Mack declared
good outfielders are scarce this year.
We know it. Brickley is an Everett,
Mass., high school boy. He" -is a
brother- of Charley Brickley.v the Har
vard football star. -
With a team largely made - up of
discards, Pittsfleid is going ' well, re
marks the Springfield Union. Bridges,

when he was obliged to retire after
pitching two innings against the Phil
adelphia Athletics. His friends say

KNOCKERS AND BOOSTERS:
The baseball ground is a great re
vealer of .human temperament. In
some towns the bleachers are friend
ly enough as long "as the home team
plays star ball. The moment any
thing goes wrong, t8 yell "Take him
out" resounds. It is hard enoigh
for a team to face a hostile crowd in
a strange city. ijt is doubly worse
when a player find's himself " turned
down at home for a single error.
In other towns, the baseball fans
may 1 criticise and knock after the
game, but in the presence of the en
emy they are invariably friendly to
the home players. "Too bad, old man,
better luck next time" makes a fellow
feel like"' "tryipj once ,.ore'' aft a
mallure.e
As in baseball, so in business. No
town goes ahead much where a. sec
tion of the home people stand one
side and display the superiority of
their Intellects by criticising every
thing that is done. There are many
places where alTnost every one that at
tempts some public enterprise is made
to feet himself a fool. -v - There--are
some people who enjoy the wasrinj
of a free tongue better than a general
advance in prosperity.

1883 John L. Sullivan defeated
Herbert A. Slade, the "Maori giant"
from Australia; In 3 rounds at New
York. The "Boston Strong" Boy rrad
won the world's championship the
previous year by defeating Paddy
Ryan in 9 rounds at Mississippi City.
Charlie Mitchell, England's pride, had
also proved an easy victim for Sulli
van, and the fans were clamoring for
a man who could reduce John L.'s
bump of conceit. ' The "Maori giant"
was imported for that purpose, and
he looked like the man to turn the
trick. When it came to a test, how
ever, the Australian was jonly a play
thing for the Boston.; boy. -.-"

McCarthy in 10 rounds at New York.
