The hospital record shows that Au gust 7, 1905, John Evers was admit ted to the Institution, where he re mained until August 19. His occupa tion was given as a ball player.

At a meeting of the State Athletic Commission yesterday the' Commis sioners unanimously decided to en force ,. the rule prohibiting mixed matches, and William Gibson, man ager of the Garden A. C, who appear ed before the Commissioners, last night announced that he had called off the proposed contest. Following a consultation between Attorney General Carmody and Chairman Frank O'Nell of the State Athletic Commission several days ago it was announced from Albany that BRIDGEPORT A. C.

JIMMY CALLAHAN IS ; PICKING PHILADELPHIA Manager , Jimmie Callahan, of the Chicago White Sox, feels positively sure that the Athletics are going to win the world's championship. ', Ha claims that .if .class has anything to do with the result Connie Mack's men will prove their superiority, and from the way that Comiskeys right hand man talks it doesn't appear as though the fight would .be a remarkably touga one either. "They can say all they want to about the Athletics' weak pitching staff, but I can't see where it Is so terribly weak. Maybe Connie has uced a few pftchers m, a number of games. I be- livehe-, did- this4 Mr much- to- give his second string of men experience as to save the game. . "I know from " the way that Chief Bender has shown against us lately that he has never worked better in his life. The Indian has come back this season and in wonderful style. As far as Eddie Blank is concerned, I have no . fear of him in, the world's series. I believe that he' can" dupli cate the showing' he - made two sea sons ago against McGraw's men. "Plank, Bender, Houck and either Brown or Shawkey are the pitchers who will be used in this series, to my mln.s You will find that the two vet erans will be in top-notch condition at this time.' Hot weather generally tells 'upon the veterans, but in iSrto ber there is no hot sun to sap their vitality. For this reason both of these men will be In conidtion to stand the gaff, - "I imagine that Houck will pitch a great game against the Giarits if he is worked. -He watches the bases close ly, -as do- Plank and -Bender, but Brown is not as good in this respect, and my men have never experienced a Whole lot of trouble in getting a lead on this last named Awirler. Shaw key, -1 believe to be a splendid young ster, although there is ho telling;how he can stand the strain of such an im portant series. Still, there is always some youngster arising to the occasion-in such, a-.crisis. - Look at the way. that Babe Adams put it on Detroit a few years ago. Take the case" of Hugh Bedient, who stood the Giants on their heads last fall. ' "Let them talk as they will about the weakness of Mack's pitching staff. Where will you find a greater ball club? The answer to all this criticism is given in the standing of the Mack men They are up on top today in spite of all these alleged weaknesses. And they are so far ahead that there will not be any one overworked in one of those grueling finishes that some people are so fond of writing about. "They have' shown their class by holding the lead all the way so easily, and with their greatest pitcher, Jack Combs, lost to them. Joe Wood was injured this year, and the Red Sox fell by the wayside. Ed Walsh went back ' on us this season, although through no fault of his, and as you can see, this killed our chances. When ever a ball club loses the services of its greatest pitcher, and yet fights its way up to the top of the league, you can make up your mind that this club has the real goods. "And that is what the Athletics are the real goods. They have a won derful batting team, and their outfield as well as their infield is a great in stitution. And when you come to talk of hitters take any one of the num ber and the other club has to keep all eyes open when he comes to bat. I dread Jack Barry as much as any one on the team when there are men on bases. He has broken up several games this season to my - sorrow." - I'LL MEET YOU.

In another of ficial opinion which was received from Carmody by the Commissioners late yesterday afternoon the Attorney General declares - the- commission is empowered under the Frawley law to make such rules. The commission decided that it was for the best interests of the sport to enforce the rule, which was not fram ed to discriminate against colored boxers but to help preserve order and decency in the boxing' game. , The commission . believes it for the good of the sport that white and colored boxers not be allowed to appear against one another. The boxers must confine their efforts' to bouts with rivals of their own color. RITCHIE DENIES HE DUCKED FRED WELSH (By T. S. Andrews.) What is the real reason for ;Willie Ritchie calling off his match with Freddy Welsh, the British champion, at Vancouver, B. C, which had been set for September 20? There must be something 'besides the talk of squabbling over a share in the con cessions, which amounted to $5,000. Chet - Mclntyre, the promoter of the fight,; stated that the concession end of it was a joke, as there'-, was not much involved and it would have been the easiest kind of a matter to settle that part of the argument. Mr. Mc lntyre claims that at Seattle Ritchie told him he had been worried by the actions of Harry Pollok, manager for Freddy Welsh, and that he had not been able to get in proper condition. If that is true then Willie had better get a manager and ; let the latter do the worrying. si ' do not place any reliance in the reports about "cold feet" "and all that, for Ritchie has proven that he is a fighter. Any one who will stack up against Ad Wolgast and beat him, al so Joe Rivers and others, must-be be yond the "cold feet' habit. It may be true that Ritchie was not in shape for such a fight. If such was the ' case it would have been much better for him to admit . the truth and ask for additional time to train and get in proper shape, for Freddy Welsh is not , the kind of boy who would ask an op ponent to meet him out of condition. Ritchie was getting a small fortune for his end, $16,000 cash and an -interest in" the moving picture privileges which would amount to considerable" in Canada and Great Britain. This is the second time Welsh has been disappointed in a big match, his bout with Ad Wolgast for the cham-J plonship having been called off when the Michigan boy was taken ill and had to be operated on. Now this one with Ritchie, which was for the world's title, makes the second run of hard luck for the little Welshman. It is hoped that they will be brought to gether again, for neither one can claim the world's title until they meet and settle the question. It is likely that both Welsh ' and Ritchie will come east, as there will hardly be anything doing in. that line out on the coast of California for a while, and both are after the, long green. . There are several lightweights wait ing to get a chance at either one, among them, Charlie White, Leach Cross, Tommy Murphy, Jimmy Duffy, Sammy Robideau, Young Saylor and others, so they need not feel shy about hitting, the big "white way" of the bright spots around Chicago and Mil waukee. Then there are Jack Briton an " Packey McFarland, both of the 185 pound class, who will be tickled half to death to take either champion on at the weight mentioned. That is the ambition of Packey's life to get into a match for the light weight' title at a weight he can make, and he says he can do J35 pounds all right. Later T a.m -inst in r- ni Tif- ter from Willie Ritchie, ..telling of his troubles at Vancouver. He says in part: "Can better explain my reason for refusinsr to tro on with the matnh at Vancouver when I see you. I was tired of the tactics employed by Harry Pollok, manager " of Welsh. I am ready to make a match with Welsh at any time .and go through with it when Pollok and Welsh are ready to do business in the right way. The story that I quit cold is too ridiculous to consider, and you can bet when the proper terms are arranged, and as I said before, Pollok wakes up and does business in a business-like man ner why I will be there- all right. Yours sincerely, Willie Ritchie." , While Ritchie will try and rake in the long green in the east Freddy Welsh may go to Winnipeg for a match with Young Saylor of Indian apolis. Ray Bronson, the manager of Saylor, has received an offer for his young lightweight to meet Welsh in the Canadian city and will in all prob ability accept, providing Freddy can be secured. Welsh, of course, is anxious to get after Ritchie again and says he will keep on his trail until he does land a match, and no one will blame him for trying to put it through. THE BEST PLACE FOR LUNCH OR DINNER TRAVELERS' CAFE AND GRILL Popular Brands Winds, J A q n or s, Beers and Cigars Select Dining Rooms 33-40 Elm Street HARTFORD WINNER IN EXCITING GAME Lowell, Sept. 25 The fifth game of the championship series between Lowell of the New England league and Hartford of the Eastern association, played at Spalding park yesterday af ternoon was won by the Nutmeg visit ors, by a score of 4 to 3. The contest was marked by weird playing at times and at other periods of the game both teams showed big league class. It was all kinds of baseball and the 4,500 fans on hand certainly received their money's worth. Lowell blew up in the third in ning, when a combination of three misplays and two timely singles re sulted in four tallies for Hartfor6, its only . runs of the game. With the game, 4 to 3 against them in the ninth inning, the locals got a man as far as second with no one . out, but Sal mon "tightened up ana by clever worn retired the side scoreless. In doing so he purposely passed Miller and took a chance on Thomas on the third .out and carried through the play success fully. , ' In individual honors, Kauff, Hart ford's clever right fielder, shared more than any of his fellow players. It was his hit, the first single made by Hartford, that scored the first run for his club, and more than that it was his marvelous one-hand running catch in the fourth inning that cut oft Lowell's chances of at least tying up the score in that session. The catch was made off Dee's bat. The ball seemed labeled for at least three bases, but Kauff was after the sphere at the crack of the bat and landed the ball on this bare hand, while on the dead run. Salmon, the star side-wheeler for Hartford, pitched a fairly good game, especially in the last stages of the contest. Lowell touched up his deliv ery for 10 safeties, three of them good for two bases, but they didn't come at a time when they meant runs, while In Hartford's case its hits were made when men were on the bases. The series p to date now stands, Lowell three, Hartford two. The score: .- LOWELL. ab. r. lb. po.' a. e.

The Yost football team will have a fine schedule for the local football fans this season. All the leading elev ens of -the state will' appear at Yost field. Among t.hose slated to play here are the Thomaaton boys, , who were sought as opponents last season but could not be secured. The crack sol dier team from Fort Slocum, the heavy Washington Glee club of New Haven, which battled with the Yosts for the title last year, and the Annex team, also of the Elm City, are on the list. The Glees will probably be here the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The Acorns of Waterbury, .Rockville and Bristol are others who have accepted dates. The West Point second team has written to Manager Keenan ask ing for a game hut no decision has been reached regarding this. Coach McCormick has called the first prac tice of the Yost squad for tonight and all wishing a tryout are urged to re port at Yost field at 8 o'clock. There will be a diseuseiori and plans of cam paign will be mapped out. The1 players in the Hartford-Lowell series will split $2,817 as .their share of the ;receiptsof the first four games. Hartford ' had a greater attendance than Lowell and the grand stand re ceipts were also greater. If Hartford wins each player will get about $130, but Lowell has a, larger squad and their individual shares will be smaller if they capture the series. Benny Kauff was so elated because he was drafted by Indianapolis that he made a one hand catch of a liner yesterday and saved Hartford from being beaten. Benny started poorly in the season but he is going great guns now. . The national commission has handed down a ruling forbidding any ball player from writing accounts of the world's series under his own name. "Co Unro. tn.

Dartmouth has no game with Har vard this fall, but should get a big revenue from its match with Pennsyl vania in Philadelphia and against the Carlisle Indians in New York. Weatherhead.one of last year's ends in Cambridge, will not return to col lege this1 fall. Leary, however, has five other old men in O'Brien, Coolidge, Smith, Dana and Milholland. The Cornellians, who (will go to Cambridge, November 1, are having two long practice sessions daily. Al Sharpe is coaching again and has one of the biggest squads ever, organized at Ithaca. , E.' F. "Ver Wiebe, the Crimson's great 1908 halfback, is en the official list for games in the west. - He is in Minneapolis. E. N. Robinson of Brown will have at least one first-class backfield man if Pat Casey get's back into college. Casey, who was good ' last year, was declared -ineligible and was sought by several of the Pennsylvania college coaches. Yale will play no games away from New Haven this fall until it goes to Cambridge to meet Harvard on Nov ember 22. Princeton will he at home except on November 15, when it plays Yale at New Haven, and Harvard's only trip will be to Princeton to play the Tigers on November 8. George Brooke, who not only was Pennsy's greatest punter, but the best the game ever produced, not except ing Baird of Princeton and Haughton and Felton of Harvard, expects to have 150 men in his varsity squad at the University of Pennsylvania when college opens. ' University of Nebraska, which in the past often has been coached by Eastern men, will be looked after by a westerner again. Coach Stiehm, however, will be assisted from time to time by j Stanford White, the Prince ton star of 1911, and by G. C. Dudley, a Dartmouth backfield man in 1810 and 1911. Syracuse will have a rushline aver aging close to 198 pounds this fall and a light, shifty " backfield, averaging about 165 pounds. MARQUARD AND . 1 DEVORE JOINED GIANTS ''"'. 4 YEARS, AGO TOAY Rube Marquard pitched his first game for, the Giants just four years ago today, Sept. 25, 1909. To secure the services of the divinely tall and most divinely beautiful young twirler, the New York Nationals had paid Indianapolis the stupendous sum of $11,000, the highest price ever paid up to that time for a minor league player. When the Rube occupied the rubber for his -big show debut, he was, as the poet says, the cynosure for all eyes. Cincinnati was the opposing team, and what them horrid Reds did to Rube was a sin and a shame. The "$11,000 beauty" lasted about as long as an icycle in Panama. During the remainder of the 1909 season Marquard pitched seventeen more games, winning only five of thm. T-Tr t t-s n: tv!M ftr; a Lond the Southern league, is the last ap plicant for the Job of managing the Bridgeport baseball club next season. Bernhard writes that he has had long experience in handling teams and he thinks he could make a winner of the locals. Mike Finn, who managed Waterbury in 1910, will succeed Bern hard at Memphis. Finn handled Mo bile the past season and host the pen nant on the last day of the schedule. Joe Horner, a former athletic star of the University of Michigan, will go to Germany to help Alvin Kraenzlein coach the Teutonic athletes for the Olympic games. Horner will special ise in weight events. Yale opened the football season well by giving Wesleyan a bad trimming. Yale has a bunch of long limbed play ers this year and: beefy boys are not in evidence. If Hartford wins the post season series, the Senators will probably ap pear at Newfield park Sunday in. a game against the All-Bridgeport ag gregation. . Secretary Reddy of the local club has wired Manager " Mc Donald for a date. Hyder Ba'rr, the crack New Haven outfielder, has recommended, a young outfielder to Owner Cameron of the Wings. Cochran of the Appalachian league is the youngster. He batted .401 last season and made 23 home runs. Cameron will probably put in a draft for him. Sam Crane, the New York Journal baseball writer, says Bill Holden, the New London recruit, is sure to make good with the New York Americans. The Harvey Hubbelis and Yosts will start a series for the championship of the city next Saturday. They will play the first game at Yost field and will clash on the; same grounds Sunday. If a third game is necessary the field will be selected later. Whalen and Johnson will do the pitching for the Hubbelis. Finn will pitch the first game for the Yosts. Both teams have an army of supporters and a large at tendance is expected, i suffragette. Speed he had in suffici ency, and a stock of puzzling benders, but he couldn't get 'em over. He manifested little ' better control in the early part of 1910, and his popular title of "the $11,000 lemon" was well earned. Since then the Rube has come to the front as one of the great est twirlers in baseball, and has prov ed that "he is worth all McGraw paid for him, and then' some. Richard de Marquis is the . real monaker of the great slab artist. He began playing ball with Canton, O., in the Central League, in 1907, when eighteen years old. The . following year he went to Indianapolis, and his record with the Hoosiers induced Mc Graw to pay a record-breaking price for him. The big southpaw . is now in his twenty-fifth year. He is a na tive of Cleveland, O., and is of French descent. ' Joshua Devore, the midget outfield er, also made his debut with the Gints four years ago today. Josh, al so a native of Ohio, began playing ball with Meridian, in the Cotton States League, and was with Newark,; in the Eastern, when called to New York. During the tail-end of the 1909 season he appeared in nineteen games, and was little more successful than Marquard. In 1910 he hit his stride, and swatted the pill for an average cf .304. Josh was sold to the Reds this year, and Cincinnati disposed of him to the Phillies. It seems necessary to give the rail roads their five per cent, raise In freight rates, as it costs a lot to have all these accidents.

AL PALZER LOSES TO CHARLEY MILLER Big Fighters Pound Each Other In New York Ring. Charley Miller, the heavyweight from the Pacific Coast, had the better of AI Palzer in the ten-round wind-up at the St. 'Nicholas A. C. last night, though he was a very sorry looking victor at the end. Just at the cloie of the ninth round one of Al's best right hand uppercuts tore a gash 'over Mil ler's left eye. He was practically blind throughout the tenth, and here Palzer did most of his heavy execution. " Palaer looked better trained than in his last appearance. Miller , emei very fat. Both weighed the same, 22 pounds. For nine rounds Miller, who seemed much faster, though far wilder and more awkward,' carried the figiit to Palzer. Several times he had Al hold ing on. At the end of the seventh Pal zer seemed ready to drop. Miller's punch- was lacking. He had wasted too much strength dancing about in the early numbers. Palzer scored the only knockdown. In the fifth Miller bumped into a right swing to the jaw. He -was up in a second. Miller fell in the sixth, when he missed a swing. It was a very' ex citing exhibition.

The Perry Sayers battle was a memorable ex hibition of skill and science pitted against brute strength. One round lasted thirty minutes, while the puff ing giant chased the nimble Sayers about the ring. Three year after winning the title Sayers fought an other remarkable battle with John Heenan, a gigantic -Irish-American, which, was ended by official interfer ence.
