Newport, R. 1, July 8.—For more than a month the owners and man- agers of the ‘cup defenders have been wishing for a fresh breeze in which to try them out. The monotony of the Long Island Sound weather had palled on them and they wanted excitement, something to vary the dull, " fair weather racing. They had these con- ditions yesterday, but there was no race. During the night the wind came in strong from . the = southeast. It ‘brought in big banks of fog and kicked up a big sea and the conditions were such that no sane man would think of going outside. It was to have been tne first race of the series to determine which should defend the America’s cup against the Shamrock IV, and the race was under the management of the Eastern Yacht club.

(“Birdie”) Cree, for: years the star outflelder of the Yankees, returns to the New York club. Cree was released to Baltimore lost winter and his general playing this season has been so good that several major league clubs have been angling for him. Owner Frank J. Farrell, however, had an option on Cree and has exercised it. The Balti- mere club paid $2,500 for Cree and the Yanks paid $5,000 to get him back. Bill Holden, the outfielder who Joinea the ciub last fall, is no longer a member of the Yankees. Chance has cut the strings on Holden, who is now a Baltimofe Oriole. Chance Te- leased Holden to Jack Dunn recently, and- after Bill gets -his household effects together he will be off to join his new club. No other players, Chance said, were involved in Hol- den’s transfer. Holden went to the Yankees from the New London club of the Eastern association, where he made a reputa- tion as a hitter. When he first started out Holden looked pretty good, but this year he did very little to warrant his retention in the big league. As a hitter he proved to be of the in and out sort. . His flelding was mediocre, Holden's worst fault was lack of speed, especially when it came to run- ning bases. He may make a good man for the minors, but just now lacks the big league qualities. CONNELL SIGNS TWIRLER. New Haven, July 8.—In hopes ot strengthening his dilapidated pitch- ing corps, Manager Connell, of the New Haven club, has signed Ralph Farrell, a right-hander. Farrell hails from New York and reported to the local manager yesterday. Although little is known of the new pitcher's ability, it is said that he made a mark for himself while twirling for the Fea- eral Giants, a New York semi-profes- sional team. If Farrell shows any- thing in practice, he will be used im- mediately. PADRON BATS WELL. Louis Padron, the ebon-tinted Cuban, who once worked for Dan O’Neil in this circuiit is ‘still busting up ball games. He is playing with the Long Branch, N. J,, team . Whlch is composed entirely of Cubans.’ The team defeated the Giants’ second team Sunday at Long Branch by a score of 3 to 2 and Louis’ two, long hits were instrimental’ in bringing about the result. Thomas Roman- ach, who was with New Britain for a time, is a teammate of Louis'. DUNLOP TRADED AGAIN. George Dunlop, formerly a member of the New Britain club, has been traded by Cleveland to Omaha in the Western league, along with three other players, for Catcher Shestak. Dunlop . was released by Jack Burns; last season, went to London in the Canadlan league and was grabbed by Cleveland, His home is in Meriden. NATIONAL LEAGUE, Yesterday’s Results. Pittsburg 5, New.

Cuban May Be Included in of Fast Players. Cincinnati, Ohio, July 8.—That Snodgrass and Murray of the New York Giants will be traded for Dick Hoblitzell, Johnnie Bates and Ar- mando Marsans of the Cincinnati Reds within the next few days was the story that is circulated in baseball circles here. Manager Herzog of the Reds confirmed the rumor that a trade has been completed, but would not mention the names of the players involved. It is also sald that a New York pitcher will also be traded to the Reds. Marsans was recently enjoined from playing with the St. Louis Federals, and was quoted as saying that he would play with the Giants if a deal could be perfected. President Her- mann refused to state that the deal would be with the Giants. Manager Herzog declared that the Reds must and will remain in the first division, and to do so the team rhust be strengthened in the batting line. PONIES HERE TOMORROW, “Billy”” 'Hamilton and his Spring- field club will make their appearance at Electric fleld tomorrow to battle with New Britain in the last game of the week to be played in this ecity. Springfield is being prominently men- tioned, as the politiclans say, for the position now occupied by New Britain in the league standing and if the Skis can do anything to second the nomination they will do it most glad- ly as the cares of holding down that cellar job are beginning to be a bur- den. . Big Swap DELL GOING FAST. Jack Dell, formerly with Springfield and New London, is skimming over the high spots in the Ohio State league. He is tied for first place in batting, his figures being .366. He has been in fifty-five games, at bat 213 times and has hit safely seventy- six times. Dell is playing with Iron- ton, but is said to be slated for the American association. Jack Hickey, a former Connecticut leaguer, now with Portsmouth in the same league, is hitting for .333, VIKINGS' NEW MANAGER. The Viking A.

The meeting was well attended and considerable - interest taken. - Enoch Johnson resigned as manager of the baseball team and Morris Hoglund was appointed to suc- ceed him. The holding of a field day wag discussed, but no action was taken as to the dat BOULTES AFTER PITCHER. . Jake Boultes of the Bridgeport club } is in hopes of bolstering up his pitch- ing corps and is making an effort to ‘land a pitcher named Johnson from { Lynn. Johnson is the property of the Memphis club of the Southern league. His record while with Lynn is thirty- two innings without being scored on. MT. PLEASANTS PLAY. The reorganized. Mt. Pleasants will play the strong Columbias of the Hartford City league Sunday at the Burritt street grounds at 3 o’clock. The Mt.

We don't let LIBERTY go out of the factory until it has been aged from three to five years, so that all the rich, mellow, nat- ural sweetness of its Kentucky leaf is at its best. When you're tobacco hungry, you want clean, honest juicy tobacco with some back- bone to it. You never see a LIBERTY user switch to some other brand. He knows nothing can compare with LIBERTY for downright tobacco satisfaction. A week’s trial of LIBERTY will prove this to you— will make you a permanent user of LIBERTY.
