club canio as a
local fans. It was In i.... u.'nn of
the fans that Manager Grimes was
well satisfied with the work of the
outfielder and the explanation that he
did "not show well" is far from being
acceptable. Neither does It cast any
light on the move, which was not de
cided upon until late yesterday after
noon. The club officials have right along
seemed satisfied with the work, of
Mltterllng; and there were very few
who even dared predict a release for
Mltterllng. True yesterday his per
. formance was not satisfactory, but
he did loom up as a promising out
fielder and hud he been given a
chance he would havo developed into
a most helpful player. Manager
Grimes himself seemed well pleased
with the lad, for he made no effort
to substitute someone for him in the
five games that have already been
played.
Grimes' players themselves are as
tonished at the move. By keeping
'Mitterling- In the outfield when others
were available for the position. Ray
prompted fans and players alike to
believe that the recruit had made
good. Surely, a statement that he
"did not show well" Is not sufficient.
Andy Tim. who held down the out
field berth last season and who was
not given a chance this year, was also
Clven his walking papers as was Mc
Cormaek, a utility man.
EDDIE KELLET, who managed a
semi-pro team In New Jersey last
season and whose home is In Philly,
;wlll replace Mltterllng in the outfield,
it Is supposed. The Philadelphlan la
a clever little .player and should be
retained by the local club, but not at
the expense of Mltterllng. As a. mat
ter of fact Kelley had been elected to
'be let out. Just bfore the came yes
terday afternoon Eddie w.w informed
that he could tind a Job' in Hartford.
Something happened, however, dur
ing the game and Grimes underwent
a sudden change of mind and with
drew Eddie's unconditional release
and passed It along to Mltterllng.
Mltterllng. however, will have no
. trouble getting hooked with Pome
other club, for he Is a promising
player. He is by no means what can
he termed a very good hitter. Yet
he will improve. As an outfielder he
; is most acceptable. Three Eastern
.League teams today bid for his ser
' vices.
THE most Important heavyweight
bout brought to Bridgeport In
.'many a day will be promoted by
Terry Lee and his Pembroke A. C. at
the Casino on Monday night when
Kid Norfolk, the Panama negro,
, tackles Larry Williams of this city in
an eight-rounder, A better match is
. bard to And these days. The two
. should furnish an exciting affair, for
' the colored gont is one who never
! stalls, but who persistently tries to
pave .the. w&v for a knockout.
Larry Williams, appreciative of the
' ability of the colored man. is training
faithfully In New York, but will re
i turn Friday and finish his work here.
The Kid and Larry are bitter oppon
ents. Both have hard socks and it
will b a ouestlon of beatlntr the oiher
; fellow to the punch, which tends to
Indicate that the battle will be alonsr
the slugging lines something th.it
' one seldom sees when heavyweights
are concerned.
Terry Lee showed wonderful judg
ment when he hitched this pair, for
Norfolk is perhaps the best colored
heavyweight In the game, while Wll
i Hams is the most promising of the
white folks. Local fans are making
the colored man a S to 4 favorite, but
these odds will probably be raised to
an even bsi'ts upon the local heavy
weight's return.
SPEAKING of the Kid Norfolk
Larry Williams battle prompts us
to say, after a careful study of the
card, that the bouts that the Pem
broke A.C. has arranged for the fans
for next Monday night constitute an
even more promising and better
schedule than that that was offered
for the approval of Bridgeporters last
week. Every battle on the bill is a
main attraction in itself. There Isn't
a stranger on the card. Every man
has proven his mettle and found ab
aoluely o. k.
Pete Hartley and Louis Bogash, for
instance, placed at the top of any
card, could alone be depended upon
to jam any halt. Hartley la working
like a beaver and should give Bogash
the hardest battle of his career. The
two are bitter rivals and there is na
stalling or letups when they once get
into the squared arena. And what
featherweight boys in this state could.
be compared with that between Sap.
per Cohan and Mickey Travers of this
city?

This quick response by Senator

Many a hope was expressed that
the other associations would follow
this lead, as like everything else, it
cost more to train and race horses in
this year of high prices.
The Metropolitan Jockey Club also

and expects to have this improvement
finished at the close of the Belmont

LITTLE GAME
s
Ire Sellfai
AH-Star Show, However, De
serving a Record-Breaking
Attendance Best Card Ever
Offered In Bridgeport.
Tickets for the banner all-aiar 30
round boxing: carnival of the Pem
broke A. C. at the Casino on next
Monday night were placed on su-le to
day and Judging by Uie many re
quests that have been received at tiie
regular places where the duckets are
usually sold the attendance at the
show that ".Honest" Terry Lee hat
arranged for next week will surpass
that of last Wednesday. The receipts
last week were a trifle over $,600. it
ia figured that the gate for next Mon
day will 'be more than tJ.WO. Any
way, such a splenidid tard aa that ar
ranged by Terry is worth twice as
much, for it is unbeatable and inclu
sive of some of the .best matches
brought here in years.
The AJtorn A. C. show was a suc
cess in every way, but the fistic pro
Siaia on next Monday will go that
ciub one better, for the very good rea- j
n that the three principal bouts j
could hold their own alone at the
helm of any card. A better heavy- i
weight -battle than the eigrht-rounder J
in wuicii iariy "Williams of this city i
and ii.id Norfolk, the colored Jieavy- j
weight, will figure is impossible to
iind. There ia a scarcity of good ;
heavyweights, but here Is a pair that
can figbt.
The writer personally looks for
ward to a slugging match between
the two. No love is lost between the
two and there is a bitter feeling ex
isting between J.oys of Sam Driver's
staible and these piloted by Leo F.
Flynn. Norfolk, Respite his great
weight, is a shifty battler with a very
heavy wallop. He has defeated the
best in his class and today is classed
aa the colored heavyweight cham- j
pion of America. Surely, no one 'has
disputed this claim.
Larry is without question the most
promising lignt heavyweight in the
same. He appreciates the ability of the
colored man and for that reason can be
depended upon to 'be at his best. Wil
liams is training in Is'ew York. With
Norfolk he will necessarily have to
e at his beet, for the negro is -miz
zling enough without an opponent be
ing out of form. Local fans have al
ready made .Norfolk a 5 to 4 favorite,
but these odds will change an!di be
even, perhaps, after Larry returns
from New York, where he la enter
taining: wounded soldiers as well as
training.
Pete Hartley of Derby and Louis
Bogash of this city are attracting con
siderable attention and there is no
doubt but that this battle will draw
no few to the State street auditorium.
Pete is a clever infighter with a lot
of speed and pep. On the other hand,
Louis Bogash is an awkwardly clever
fighter, who is extremely dangerous,
for the very good reason that he has
absolutely no particular style, but, on
the contrary, boxes and .fights an op
ponent as he finds him.
The two are, not strangers and their
battle at Derby last February was the
most exciting witnessed in these dig
gings in a long time. As it was a
no-decision and the two fought about
evenly the ringside critics differed in
their opinion as to its outcome. The
writer personally sized it up as a
very good draw. The two are very
evenly matched. It is a case of an
awkwardly clever fighter against a
careful infighting boxer. To attempt
to select the probable winner is time
idly spent
Mickey Travers and Sapper Cohan
will . furnish the third eight-rounder.
What will happen when this ' pair
steps into the ring Is hard to . tell,
for both are clever. Of the two
Travers is the harder hitter. How
ever, he is not stiff enough to puzzle
the Brldgeporter, who surprised his
friends by holding off the New Ha
vener to a fast and a good draw last
week. Tommy Shea, Mickey's man
ager, has every confidence In his man
and expects him to stop.Sapper. This,
however, is Improbable, for the Sap
per la too clever and game to flop
before even one of those healthy wal
lops that the New Havener deals out.
The curtain raiser will be a six
rounder between Chic Turner and
Jimmy Kane of this city. . Chick Is
one of those entertainingly hard,
fighting battlers who doesn't know
pwhat li la to bo idle. -'

FITZGERALD
MAY REFEREE
BEG BATTLE
(Special to The Times.)
TOLEDO, O.. May 21.-IDave Fitz
gerald, the New Haven referee, ar
rived here today and this afternoon
went into consultation with Jack
Ivearns, manager of Jack Dempsey,
the Californian heavyweight who
meets Jess Willard here on July 4.
Dave has been named as prospective
arbiter for the ibig fight and with the
withdrawal of several other promi
nent candidates today, he stands a 2
to 1 chance of landing the job ac
cording to well informed persons.
Fitzgerald departed from New Ha
ven ior the scene of 'battle following
the receipt of a telegram earlier in
the day from Jack Kearns, manager
of Dempsey, who went on recoi'd ibut
a few daya ago with a statement that
the local man was the choice of 'both
the challenger and himself for the
refereeship.
Fitzgerald, it is understood, will re
main in the West until the arrival of
Willard from Los Angeles. Willard,
according to the terms of his con
tract, was scheduled to arrive in To
ledo yesterday and pick out a site for
training. He received a respite from
Tex Rickard, however, andi will not
appear before the first of next week
at the earliest. Upon Willard's ar
rival it is expected that Reams and
'Ray Archer, manager of Willard, will
get together and make their choice
of referee. The fact that Fitzgerald
is Dempsey's candidate probably ex
plains Kearna's desire to have the lo
cal man on the .battle ground for the
conference..
The appointment of referee has now
simmered down to a race between
Matt Hlnkle, the Cleveland promoter,
anii Fitzgerald. KinMe is not - fa
vored by the Ohio , Boxing commis
sion which seems to Indicate that
Fitzgerald has the pole. If Willard
goes on record for Fitzgerald it Is be
lieved here that the commission will
sanction his appointment.
Jack Dempsey began his training
here yesterday in his new camp 'on
the shores of (Maumes Bay, prepara
tory to the !big battle with Jess Wil
lard at Bayview Park on July 4. The
new quarters are in an exclusive club
on the shores of the lake. Dempsey
announced that for he first few days
he was going to take things easy and
then get down to tlie real hard work
of the finishing up of his training for
the ibig mill.
Tem-psey's new quarters are in a
big 14-room structure used as a clu.b
by some of Toleldlo's most prominent
families and they have given up their
privileges in favor of Dempsey. There
are great lounging rooms. - wind
screened porches and bathing beach,
which make the location an ideal one
for training purposes. An outdoor
gymnasium will :be constructed at
once for the challenger.
Jimmy Do Forest of Plainfield, N.
J., a veteran -boxer and manager and
the first handler Dempsey -had, has
been selected as chief trainer. Spar
ring partners will report -for the hard
work in a few days, after which the
training grind will start. "I'll ibe out
in the open every minute possible,"
alj Dempsey today. "I intend to
loosen up a little and as soon as my
manager thinks it advisable will etart
some real work."
The Toledo Ministerial union, which
has been protesting the ibout but
which so far has met with little re
sults, has Instructed its committee to
secure an injunction if necessary to
prevent the fight being held.

Americans Invade Pony
Field Today After Hard
Walloping From Grays
Rafn, However, Threatens to
Bring About. Postponement
Tyler Pitches N'o-IIit, No-Run
Game.
Marred by unpardonable errors on
the part of both teams but featured
by a pitching duel in which Home of
the opposition came out winner, the
Bridgeporters yesterday fell victims
to the Providence Grays in a 12-inn-ing
game by the score or . 7 to 5. To
day the locals are trodding on the
battlegrounds of the Springfield club
and will be away from familiar sur
roundings until next Sunday after
noon when they will tackle the Hart
ford aggregation at Newffld Park.
The Grays pulled out ut town this
morning minus three players. Mitter
ling, Andy Yim and McCormack. The
three were unconditionally released
immediately after yesterday's clash.
Eddie Kelly, a semi-pro from the
wilds of Jersey, will today be seen in
right field for the l';irk City gladia
tors. Marty Walsh will, in all prob
ability, hurl today's game providing
th weather is favorable. Latest re
ports from Springfield have it tha
the weather there is anything but
ideal for baseball today.
For some reason or other no um
pire was assigned to yesterday's game
and the clubs had to make use of
Ralph Mulrennan, the Providence
i'i.iir, who worked wi:h the New
i-ondons, several seasons ago, and
whp is well known here, and Marty
Walsh, the Bridgeport pitcher. Taking
everything into consideration the two
did good work. Anyway, each earn
ed the $5 given by the club, for in
this circuit umpires receive $10 per
day. '
It was far from being a spectacular
battle, even though the game did
travel 12 rounds. Frequent errors
made It a boresome game. Something
like 400 paid admissions were re
corded at the box office, all of which
indicates that the crowds will come.
This attendance, considering the poor
weather conditions under which the
game was played, promises good tid
ings for the Bridgeporters.
The Providence pitcher while not
pitching spectacular ball, bested his
opponent. Eddie Lemnon went well
until the seventh inning", when four
Grays crossed the pan. This was too
much for Manager Grimes and he
yanked him, but Shield, was helpless
on account of the wretched support
given him.
Jt was in the 12th that the game
was "busted." Donahue led off with
a single, but was forced at second by
Denny Gearin. Cooney followed
with a healthy single to right, but the
pill should have not ot more than a
base for the batter. However, Mit
terllng let the ball roll between hi3
legs and Gearin came home with the
tally that put Providence In the lead,
6 to 5. Dameron also Bingled and
Cooney came home, when Sweatt forc
ed Dameron out at second, Lai to
Baker. Sweatt closed the session by
being thrown out while trying to pil
fer his way to second.
Bill Tyler, who lasted but one
inning against Worcester here
Sunday, came back with a ven
geance yesterday and turned in a
no-hit-no-run same over Wat
terbury in the final game of the
week on Savin Rock grounds. To
pitch a no-bit Same which is
the acme of pitching skill is the
ambition of every pitcher, but
few realize it. In all of the ma
jor league history of 4 7 years
there have been only 92 no-hit
games pitchtd, and some of the
greatest pitchers of the different
decades of baeeball have never
entered this particulajr Hall of
Fame, although many of them
have come as close as possible,
pitching one-hit games and some--
times they have had the cup
dashed from their lips just as
they were sure of quavng it.
Needless to say. New Haven,
through Tyler's phenomenal work,
managed to win the game, but it was
by the narrowest margin possible in
baseball, the final figures registering
1 to 0. The victory and Hartford's
subsequent loss pushed the locals up
into seventh place - in the Eastern
wheel, and today they will invade
Worcester with renewed confidence of
toppling the league leadera Yester
day's game was one of the best spen
on the local grounds in many seasons,
the pitching being uniformly good
and the fielding faultless. It re
quired but one hour and 40 minutes
to decide the issue.
Tyler pitched almost perfect
ball, in addition to his no-hit per
formance he fanned eleven bat
ters and yielded nothing that
even resembled a base hit. Only
29 batters faced him, Hinch
man and Flynn, the Waterbury
veterans, beir the only men to
reach first base when the local
pitcher . lost temporary control ..
of the ball and passed two in
the seventh and eighth innings.
Tyler got away most auspicious
ly, fanning the first three men
to face him In the opening stan- -za.
He followed up this ad
vantage by retiring the visitors
in rapid succession over a
' stretch of six Innings. Chief
Meyers, who has been showing -':
none too well behind the bat, ac
corded Tyler wonderful support.
One of Dan O'Nall's prize um
pires, Corrigan by name, came near
putting a .damper on the perform
ance in the ninth Inning. After Ty
ler had forced Murphy, a pinch hitter,
to the ground for the first out. Porter
strolled to bat. The fans were arous
ed to a fever pitch by Tyler's work
and were rooting lustily for him to
retire the next two men and reallzs
the ambition of a lifetime. Porter
'had the' first ball called on him for a
strike. He fouled off the next pitch.
The next 'was a bar Porter swung
in vain at the next ball tor a third
strike. But Corrigan, through some
reason or other, lost track: of tha
oount and majntailnsd that too.

team they bet against, whether the
Giants or opponents most frequently
the Giants have begun to get on the
nerves of the people who go to the.
Polo Grounds to see baseball. It is
reported that the Giant management
will take drtstic action against these
gentry. Their uncalled for abuse of
the umpires and Giants both yester

forth heaps of comment from the
loyal fans who pay to sea a ball game

Tho Phillies took It out on the Car
dinals yesterday for a alight suffered
at tho hands of the Dodgers recently.
When the Phillies were at Etobet3
Fiekl on May 6 they got -.way to a
seven run lead, on tha Dodgers, only
to have Brooklyn score Bix runs in the

It took Jupiter Pluvius to stop -tha

Mitchell will uso either Lefty Tyler
or Claude Hendrix against the Dodg

against Brooklyn. Tyler has one one

his credit against the Dodgers. Slnca
