« With, the assistance of the weather man, the city league will resume ac- tivities tomorrow at §:30 p. m. at the park, when the Pirates and the In- dependents clash. This is an important game, and a victory for the Independents means displacement of"the Pirates from the triple tie for first place. @ That would leave the Falcons and Fafnirs tied, On Saturday the Falcons play the £t. Mary's and the Fafnirs play the Cardinals. - When New Haven trounced Bridge- port both ends of a double header yesterday it was the 20th consecu- tive game which the Travelers have taken from the Americans in the sea- sons of 1922-23. The last victory for Bridgeport over New Haven was July 20, 1922. Following this the Travel- ers trimmed MecCann's team _six straight last year, and this season have won all 14 games played. That New Haven-Bridgeport rivalry takes one back a decade or so to when New Britain was in the state league and Hartford her closest rival. In those days it was Hartford that had the continuous wins over this city. The Giants gained in the pennant race yesterday by defeating the Pi- rates. The leaders now have a four game lead. Cleveland rallying in the ninth yes- terday defeated the Red Sox b to 4, by going two extra innings. The Braves made® 16 hits for 25 bases and won 6-3 over the Cubs yes- terday. Homers by Fournier and B. Griffith won the second game for Dickerman yesterday, although the Robins and Cards split the double header. Grimes was beaten in the first game. Hornsby got another homer. Goullet-Walker won the velodrome bicycle race in Newark last night. There was a bad spill in which eight riders were hurt. chance that he will return Haven. to New Dan O'Leary, the veteran long-dis- tance walker, celebrated his 82nd birthday recently by taking a 100-mile walk. The veteran of the long-dis- tances is still able evidently to travel the route, What a wonderful com- muter he must be. B Sémebody with an excellent knowl- edge of theé Spanish language #must have taken Luis Angel Firpo aside and told him what a lambasting he would receive should he meet Jack Dempsey during the month of September, Right off the South American ‘“‘senyor” changes his ideas and is now trying to postpone the engagement in which he would meet his Waterloo and Chateau Thierry all combined into one big defeat. It is nobody's fault how- ever but Firpo's that he signed a con- tract with Rickard to meet the cham- pion on the 14th of, next month. He did it without the sanction of Jimmy De Forest, his veteran trainer and ad- wiser, who said that if these two met | next month Firpo would be *going into a slaughter house.” Jimmy is pos-i-tive-ly right—nothing else but. It is evidently the idea of Dempsey and Jack Kearns, his manager, to dis- pose of the Argentinian before he does any damage or takes up any of the spot-light that Dempsey is supposed to enjoy. A year from now Firpo might be worth considering, but at the present time he has little chance of winnirig from Dempsey. N D R R In the meantime what is going to be done about Harry Wills, contender for the heavyweight title? Mister Wills and his manager, Paddy Mul- lins, are going to take the matter up and have the promoters some to a “showdown” why they haven't been considered for a bout. Public opinion, aided by the newspapers, is surely: bringing en the bout and the time is net far distant when Wills and Demp- sey will be matched. Sportdom has again fallen back on one of its old reliables to maintain its honors. When Johnny Welsmuller was taken to the hospital and the doctors said that he would be out of the swimming game for some time it was a puzzle who would take his place. Nobody else but Duke Kahanamouku, the Hawailan web-foot with the un- pronouncable name, jumped into the breach- and now everything is begin- ning to resume its rosy hue again. His return to form is especially gratifying as the Olympics are not far off. Re- membering what the dusky skinned swimmer has done before and the sensational showing he is making on the Pacific coast there is all the possi- T 5t o St. Louis Boston Chicago Cincinnati Phila.

There are going to be some baseball celebrities on hand. In addition to the dignitaries who have promised to attend, two of baseball's best known celebrities, Nick Altrock and Al Schacht, intend to rehearse some of their “stuff” for the world series. Altrock and Schacht are the Gallagher and Shean of baseball and whatever they do is so funny that even the most dignified have ‘to laugh. George Weiss, popular owner of the New Haven Profs, has planned a day that won't be forgotten. If the weather man wants to be in the good favor of the EIlm City fans it is best he sends them -the choicest samples of his weather possible. Two veteran players of the major leagues boast of the fact that their throwing arms have never been weak. John (Pincus) Quinn and Hank Gowdy are bragging of that fact and it is one that can be righttully brag- ged of. Quinn, with the Boston Red Sox, has pitched for 23 years without féeling any lameness in his soupbone. Gowdy, now of the Giants but former- ly with the Boston Natiopals, has played major league ball {or going on twelve years or more and has handled game after game with the best of ability. Though he is aging now there are very few that have as brilliant records behind them as Hankus Pank- us, as he is‘known.
