ANOTHER VET PASSES
» g I see that Steve O'Neill. famous
catcher, has been given his uncon-
ditional rclcnse by the Yankees.
Thus probably passes one more
veteran from the big time ranks.
It may be‘possible that some oth-
er club in the majors will want to
use him. which did not care to pay
the,sv‘alver price but might be will-
ing to grab his services for nothing.
It seems a. bit unlikely. however.
For years O'Neill was rated one
of the premier catchers in the big
show. Besides being a good handler
' of hurlers and a fine target. he was
» a veritable glutton for punishment.
He thrived on work. And lots of it.

Comparing the relative merits of

DAY BATTLE
magnum:
NEW HAVEN. Aug. 0.-—'l‘hc fu-
ture of both Mickey Travers nnd
Georgie Day is dependent to it great '
extent upon the outcome of their:
bout at the Nutmeg Stadium hero‘
tonight. and as there is consider-'
able had blood bm’ccn them and'
their encounter in the final bout
the fight program is sure to be an
affair which will live long in the
memory of those who are fortunate
enflgh to see it.
Travers has been going none too
well in his recent bouts. but both he
and a host of his friends are con.
vinced that he is a better man than
Georgie Day. but if their dope
should prove wrong. a bad defeat at
the hands of Day is likely to prove
toward future fights. On the other
hand. Day is facing a similar sit-
uation. He has been beaten by Tony
Travers and his recent meetings
with Larry Roach have resulted in
decisions unpopular with many of
the fans. Day is looking to rebuild
his prestige and is convinced that a
win over Mickey will help him
greatly in this direction.
Day has trained harder than he
has in months and will be at the
very top of his form. for the 10-
round clash with Travers. Mickey
has trained like a gladiator of old
and is confident that he will be just
as good as he has the night he
defeated Eddie (Kid) Wagner of
Phlladelphiaat the Nutmeg Sta-
dium. If he is that good. Day will
be in for a nasty evening.
' Considerable money has been
wagered on the scrap as the boys
are bitter rivals. They hardly speak
on the street and Matchmaker Pao-
lillo signed the scrap to amid the
possibility of a back-alley bare fist
fight between the boys. which some
of their friends said was sure to oc-
cur. The mittsters are eager for
the fray and the hostilities are like-
ly to surpass .anything of the sort
seen here in some time.

NEW YORK. Aug, il.——~\\'c hcar
Ithat Ed. Holly. “ho is supervising

the Yankees, on the Pacific Coast.
has recommended the purchase of
old Doc. Cran'i'iil from the Los An-
gclcs club. Otev, who will be. re-
mcmbcrcd as it hard batting pitcher
with the Giants. 1908 to 1914. must
be about forty ycnrs old. but Holly
believes that he would be of great
service to the Yankees as a relief
hurlcr.
Stranger things than the return of
Crandall have happened in the ma.
jor Icagms. Last season the Yankees
tried to buy the forty-onc-year-old
Vean Gregg from Seattle. but were
outbid by the Senators, with whom
he has done fairly well this summer.
Fred lilcrklc, who came to the
Giants with Crandall, joined the
Yankees only recently, coming back
from Rochester.
The other day the forty-two year
old Chief Bender. who had been
coaching the White Sox .pitchers.
went into the box himself against
the Red Sox. So the return of Cran-
dall to the majors wouldn‘t be so
startling after all.
Holly has recommended the pur-
chase of Frank O‘Doul, the Salt
Lake outfield. who is loading the
Pacific Coast League in hitting, but.
Miller Huggins refuses to sanction
the deal. Huggins sent O‘Doul away
to Boston. whence he was traded to
the Coast. Cincinnati had an option
on "Lefty" until last week when
Garry Herrmann. on a visit to the
Coast ended negotiations.
Incidentally. waivers have been
asked by Cincinnati on Elmer
Smith. who is headed for Vernon,
which is to send a couple of play-
era to the Reds in the fall. Smith
was released by the Yankees to
Louisville in the Combs deal and the
Reds bought him last winter.

Ball—Will Play New London
The Nor-walk Socony nine won
its eleventh straight victory on
Tuesday. in a twilight game at
Amusement Park.
They defeated the Bridgeport
Socony team in a five inning game
by the score of 5-0.
The game was not scheduled to
terminate at the end of the fifth
period. but the Bridgeporters de-
cided that they had enough and af-
trr kicking over the decisions of
the umpires and every other minor
matter that they could find to en-
tor a possible kick over. they walk-
ed off the field.
Vincent O'Brien was on the
mound for the locals and the Park
City lads could not see him. They
were ,only able to collect two hits
and seven of them breezed the air
during the short game.
Norwalk gathered six bingles off
the delivery of Althenson.
Norwalk's victory gives them the
right to meet the champion New
London team at the Socony Field

Sir James says that the Bridgeport
boys had been kicking all during
the game and were jut-t waiting for
the first opportunity to arise, so
they could quit the field.
0 s u
The Park City lads evidently did ,
not like the treatment handed out
by the local lads. who pushed five ,3
runs over the plate during the short . "
time that the game was in action.
3 O t
The game went over five innings ,
and goes down in the records as a
victory for the Not-walk ()ilmcn. It
entitles them to a game with the _
New London team. who vu-ro the...‘
champions of thc Socony League ‘
Inst season.

We must hand it to Jimmy With- '1
all. He is all wrapped up in the \i'il- .,
son Point nine and is doing himself '
credit as their Manager. They could 3'
not have selected a better one. "
0 U o
Vincent O'Bricn continued to
demonstrate on Tuesday that he has ~
the goods as a pitcher. The llrldgc- 2‘ .
port lads could not see his delivery ‘-
and this helped to prove them. and '
put them in the mood to walk off
the field.
We are beginning to think that 3
the delivery of the Socony nine's _‘ ‘
star pitcher. might put some of the
batters on the two local nines in a ‘
mood to also walk from the field.
Just watch this kidis smoke, when ,
he gets into fast company.
