NEW BRITAIN
IN HOT GAME
New Britain, July 1 Timely hits,
mlied with free transportation, gave
Bridgeport a victory over the New
Britain team here yesterday afternoon
at Electric Field, 10 to 5. Heath and
Noyes featured . the contest with home
runs over the left field fence " but
Walsh kept the rest of the team well
in band and allowed only nine hits, a
number rather above his average but
nevertheless, so scattered that they.
were of little use.
Wilson was hit consistently when
there were men on bases and was not
effective at any time except in the
fourth, fifth and ninth, i The chief
feature of the contest was the inter
pretation that Umpire Keenan put
upon' the ground rules. In the sixth
inning, Bridgeport had three men on
bases when Crook came to 'bat and
banged the ball into the vinery that
adorns the right field fence. Umpire
Keenan averred that the 'ball struek
to the right of a designated post which
is the dividing- line 'between two base
and three base hits. It might be men
tioned that the cloister like trimmings
are p'oison ivy and the rule was made
to save the fielders from digging into
it wvth their bare hands. .
Owner Scinskt was of the opinion
that the 'ball did- not go in the, vines
but hit the fence and bounded into the
fielder's .hands. Tetreault threw, to J
third and stopped the procession 'y
putting out Bowman. Under the rul
ing, , Bowman was not out and Ens
also made the plate. -
Bridgeport started the fracas toy
summing up three" runs in the opening
stanza on three hits and a pass. The
second netted them two on a two bag
ger, two singles and an error 'by Noyes.
Bridgeport had increased its -number
to five in the fourth with two sin
gles and tucked the game away in
the seventh when four runs were net
ted with three passes, and three 'bag
ger which Umpire Keenan decided and
a single, t The score:

Boston Reported
Trade Speaker For Cobb
(By Wagner.)
"The Federal league is here to
stay." declared Tommy' Downey, of
the Buffalo outlaws who came home
yesterday for a brief visit. "we have
been drawing very well in Buffalo,"
said Tommy, "and have had 'bigger
crowds than the International cluto."
Downey said the Brooklyn Federals
had not been drawing because of their
troubles with labor unions. On the
recent western trip the unions issued
cards advising the ' fans not to pis
tronize the Brooklyn elut beeausa the
owners were unfair to organized laibor.
We have done the poorest "(business
in St. Louis where we expecter to get
tha . largest attendance," continued
Tommy. "This is duetto the great
showing of the Cardinals and Browns.
On our last visit there we drew 300
at a Sunday game and the Browns had
20,000.
"Kansas City and Pittsburgh are not
doing much 'business 'but Baltimore,
Chicago and Indianapolis, have turned
out fine crowds. . There is plenty of
money back of the Federal league and
we will soon have organized baseball
It is said that the" Boston Red Sox
are willmg to trade Tris Speaker for
Ty Cobb, Speaker has hot been play-,
ing particularly well this season and
in view of the fact that he draws the
highest salary in baseball, Owner
La"nnin of the-Sox feels aggrieved. It
is thought Detroit fans would be satis
fled with Speaker in place of Colub as
the Sox star is easier to handle than
Coibb. .

JEM WARD WAS FIRST fRINGEH"
IN HISTORY
There have been many "ringers" in
the history of the ring, and this srna
of deception is by no meatus oxtmet.
The methods' of pugilistic "rifcgerki"
have changed little since Jem Ward
started" the game of guile away back
in 1823. To toe exact, it .was ninety
one years ago today, July 1, 18 23, that
Jem, who; later- became champion of
England, set the stage for what was
probably the first stunt of this kind
ever pulled off. , .
Jem found it impossible to get a
fight in London, and, as he was short
of the needful he cooked up a little
scheme to add to his roll. Jem was
an artist and something of an actor
when not engaged in polishing- off his
opponents, and the plan he decided
on was certainly artistic. With a cou
ple of companions : he tramped to
Bath, where the races were to -begirt
on the first of July. On the way they
togged themselves out in the regalia
of simple rubes, and it ' was in this
disguise that Jem reached Bath, then
England's center of fashionable in
iquity, on the first day of the race
meet. - -
It was the custom, during the race
meet at Bath, for tho "toffs" or noble
sports, to hang, up a good purse for
the local yokels to fight" for, and" it
was this purse that attracted Jem to

with Joe Rickens, the Somerset cham

fun at the "rube" and 'threatened to
eat him alive. - The -bogus countryman,
after a few awkward moves,' soon tore
loose, and the crowd realized that they
had -been stung and that 'Sawney"
was not as green as he looked. Jem's
friends had put up a Jot of money on
him at good odds, and this enraged
the spectators. Ward had .no sooner
knocked out his opponent than the
cry of "lynch him" went up, and -Jem
had to run for his life.
Ward and his friends were glad to
escape from the mob with their lives,
and didn't jWait to collect the purse
of their winnings. Ward was not the
only ringer who came to grief. A
modern instance ; was afforded in

HIS 3,000 HITS
If Larry Lajoie hopes to . f 611ow

before the curtain la rung down on
the 'present season the slugging
Clevelander will have .. to show far
greater activity with th .willow dur
ing the latter part of the season than
be has shown to date. The half way
mark of the present campaign will be
reached next week- and Lajoie has
come far from gathering one-half the
number of hits he needed when the
race began. ' '
J"he opening game of the present
season showed Lajoie 108 hits under
the 3,000 mark. His eighteen years,
as a major leaguer had produced 2,
892 hits. To get 108 hits in a season
seemed comparatively easy for a slug
ger of the Lajoie type who had been
good for between 176 and 200 a sea
son, year after year. But with the
season almost half completed the task
begins to loom up a difficult one af
ter all. - , - .
Has Made Only 4a Jilts.
The latest unofficial American Lea
gue' averages credit Lajoie with forty-two
hits, which would make his
total 2,934. He must make sixty
six hits before he can be crowned a
member of the Three Thousand Club.
Illness has been mainly responsible
for Lajoie'a present shortage of hits
the smallest number that he has own
ed at this stage of the race since he
began to batter down fences in Phil
adelphia eighteen years ago. To go
into July with less than a half hun
dred hits is indeed a rarity in the ca
reere of the noted batsman. He was
stricken early in the present month
