ON THE FIRST BOUND WITR CLERKIN According to the agokesman for the | Plainville baseball team which, ac- cording to the management of the ‘Vikings A. C. nine of thid city, called off last Bunday's game at such a late hour Baturday night that the local mapagement was unable to secure an- other game fer Bund the Plain- ville team did not have a game acheduled with the local team for last Sunday. Artle Nehf, manager of the Plain- ville nine, stated last night that the Vikin manager, as he has discov- ered since Iast Sunday, had been in! communication with a members of the Plainville team, but he had not com- municated with Mr. Nehf, who had another game scheduled for that date, Mr. Nehf will publish a letter ex- plaining to the baseball public of this city his side of the story, and we will gladly print it whenever it arrives in this office. ! The local cops are practicing hard for their first game with the Meriden department this year, to be played next Wedneaday. “Slim" Politls, star guard on the Nutmég football eleven last season, ‘has made application for a place on the supernumerary force of the police department. He is therefore eligible to play with the local department] against Meriden. John O'Brien, supervisor of St. Mary's Playground, has also beén sworn in as a special, and he will also be in the local lineup. With Politis and O'Brien in the lineup, the iocal team will be greatly strengthened. The fans who have attended the games between the Meriden and local poblice departments in the past years, will miss the sight of Bill Hart on| the diamend this yéar. As far as we know, Chief Hart doesn't intend to| play this year, but he will be missed ; Jubt the same. i Pat O'Mara, catcher and captain of the local nine, is louq in his praise of | the local's showing. He states that his chergés vill run away with the Mer-) 1den crew as badly it not worse than ' the Meriden nine did to the locals last | year. The interest of the local baseball fans of this city is centered on the | first game of the series between the Kaceys and thé Corbins at St. Mary's fileld next Sunday. | Both managers are claiming that their teamsp will win, but a contest on the diamond is the only way to decide the question. The Kaceys are the fa- vorites in the seriés, but the unexpect- | ed can always happen and with tie| lineup that Manager Tobin of the| Corbins expects to put in the field, he | is just as confident that his charges will beat the Kaceys-and beat them; bad. The Kaceys will practice tomorrow | night at 6:30 o'clock at St. Mary's | fleld. Manager McConn requests all | players to be present, as the lineup for! Sunday will'be ¢hosen from the play- ers who show up for practice. | O, yesterday. Pepper Martin continues to assure an anxieus public that he will take | the measure of Johnny Dundee when they méet at the New York Velo-| drome next Monday night. Martin may do so but it i§ not denied that he has a keen personal interest in the man he picks to win Bpectators at the Frederick-Cham- bersburg Blue Ridge lengue game in Frederick, Md., yesterday, after hooting Umpire Shaner for six innings | finally invited him into the grandstand to render his decisions. He promptly | obliged them and went into the stand. After he had umpired in this location for half an hour, oficials of the Fred-% erick club protested and he returned to his place behind the bat. Frederick lost the game, 10 to 5. | Three Metropolitan A. A. U. aquatic champlonships are scheduled for deci- slon tonight in the Madison Squdre e Garden pool.

Kearns s in somewhat of%a quandary on the matter of matches for Dempsey. He admits the Wills battle is the outstanding attraction, But difficulties surround the success- ful conduct of this match, which, ac- cording to Kearns, practically pre- cludes the possibility of it being held untll next year, The prospect of a match against Jess Willard are even less encourag- ing than {8 the outlook for a Demp- sey-Brennan clash, at least before the champion tackles Wills, 2 Tut Jackson, negro heavyweight of Washington Court House, O., will fin- ish training in New York for his 15 round contest next Tuesday with Har- ry Willg, challenger for Jack Demp- sey's title, Boston, winner of last year's pen- nant was eliminated by St. Paul in the unfons printers’ international base- ball league tournament in Cleveland, The score was 8 to 5.

Coach Roper of the Princeton foot- ball squad today sent a call to 60 canflidates to report at Palmer stadi- fum for drill on Sept2amber 10, Roper realizes he has a difficult job on his hands this fall because it will be nec- esary to find new men for almost every position on the team. Most of last year's stars were graduated, Gene Satazen, twenty-one-year-old | national open golf champion will play his first golf match of his meteoric career in the Boston district today Sarazen will team with Francis Oui- met, former national amateur and open champion, in an 18 hole match against Walter Hagen and Joseph Kirkwood at the Charles River Coun- try club, Newton Centre Following ' the match, Kirkwood will give an ex- hibition of his fancy shots. Daniel Boone, the Indians’ pitcher, it a prize. His third straight victory was a shutout, with Waltey Johnson oppesing him and allowing only two runs in twelve innings, and they were scored in the final inning on the pitcher's own single. Branch Rickey has his line out for a good Class A pitcher and a third baseman. President Breardon of the club has placed no limit on suitable purchases. The latest recruit of the Boston Na- tionals, John J. Roser, obtained from the St. Petersburg club of the Florida League, is likely to appear in the Braves' lineup soon. He is an out- fielder who bats left-handed and had a batting average of .330 for 108 games with; §t.

New York, Aug. 24.—Jach Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, returned to New York yesterday from Michi- gan City, Ind., disappolnted at the ac- tion of Governor McCray of Indiana in prohibiting the scheduled match hetween Dempsey and Bill Brennan, and eager for action which will lead to battles for the title-holder. Kearns | arrived in the morning and occupied himself through the day with inspec- tion of an accumulation of corre- spondence which awaited his atten- tion. The champion's manager de- clared he had nothing particular in view for Dempsey, except the boxing exhibition in which the title-holder is scheduled to engage at Michigan City on labor Day afternoon. It is likely several more exhibitions will be schedliled for the title-holder to keep kEim occupied in an earning capacity until the time is cpportune to defend his title agairst Harry Wills, negro challenger. Kearns declared there was nothing | new with reepect to the proposed Dempsey-Wille match Dempsey's | position is unchanged and Kearns hui not experienced change in his attitude | toward the bout.
