FRESH SPORT NEWS WITH GINGER-BISONS BUMP INDIANS TWICE IN ONE DAY
NEW LONDON AFTER
JERSEYJCITY TEAM
"Skeeters" May Play Series of
Games Each Week; Millionaire
Back of Project
Special to The Telegraph
New London, Conn., Aug. 6. The
Jersey City team of the International
League has practically agreed to come
to New London to play two or three
games a week during the remainder of
the season. Since the team's owners
still have the privilege of changing
their minds, and have made no definite
promise, the situation is still doubtful.
But It looks as if this city would see
big league baseball.
George B. Prest said to-day that the
Jersey City team would probably come
here for two or three pames a week
for the rest of the schedule.
Mr. Prest, one of the city's most
enthusiastic baseball men, is president
of the National Bank of Commerce
and a close friend of Commodore
Plant.
About two weeks ago Manager H.
Eugene McCann went to Jersey City
and said that New London would give
the Internationals an attendance of
800 at the games. As the Jersey City
fans are turning out about 200 strong
for the games in that place the 800
statement sounded good to them and
they agreed to come for two or three
games a week for the remainder of
the season.
Waiting Official Word
Mr. Prest said he, personally, i
thought there was very little doubt
but that the Jersey City team would
come here for the remainder of the
f-eason. Officially Mr. Prest had noth
ing to say further than that there was
a probability of them coming. If the
team does come the first game will be
played at Plant Field next week.
Several days ago H. Eugene Mc-
Cann, manager of the New London
Baseball Association, made the state
ment that there was no truth in the 1
report that the team was coming >
here. Later Mr. McCar.n said that by !
his statement he did not mean that I
the team was not coming, but that j
the matter was not definitely settled. 1
If the Jersey City team decides to i
shift to this city it is understood
Commodore Morton F. Plant, the well
known millionaire sportsman, of
Eastern Point summer colony, will
guarantee the club's finances.
Commodore Plant up to this season
gave New London a pennant-winning
baseball team in the Eastern asso
ciation. This association is taking a j
rest this year, but will start again
next season.

Williams Qualifies to
Meet National Champion
Special to The Telegraph
Brookllne. Mass., Aug. 6. —Richard
Norris Williams, 11, of Philadelphia
and the national tennis champion,
proved his superiority over Nathaniel
W. Niles, of Boston yesterday, 8-1, 6-0,
6-1, and thereby earned the right to
meet Maurice E. McLoughlin for the
Longwood bowl in the challenge round
this afternoon.
It was one of the worst tennis days
possible, notwithstanding the fact that
there was an unusually large gallery
on hand, but Williams and Niles, a
former M&saschusetts champion, dis
played exceptionally fine form.
A glance at the analysis discloses
the fact that Williams made more
earned points than he did errors
(despite the soft turf and heavy balls).
He won ten service games, and com
pletely outclassed his opponent, as the
latter registered only four earned
points. On the other hand. Williams
made 25 points, and the errors were
48 for Williams and 35 for Niles.

BISONS TAKE TWO
FROM HARRISBURG
Timely Hits Bring Victories For
Buffalo; Indians Go Back to
Montreal Today
Harrisburg went back to Montreal
to-day for another try at the Maple
Leaves. It is probable that two games
will be played to-morrow. Harrisburg
lost two games at Buffalo yesterday,
and is anxious to square things. As
Montreal is chasing H.\rrisburg hard, a
majority of tht victories from the Can
adian team would help the Indians.
The Bisons yesterday took another
Jump toward first postion by taking
both games of the double-header with
Harrisburg A series of errors com
bined to let Buffalo get a single run
advantage in the first game.
In the second. Lore Bader showed a
return to form by allowing only flv«
scattered hits and Harrisburg got only
one run across. The Bisons hit at op
portune moments and won handily.
A big crowd witnessed the game, it
being the first time the team has play
ed at Buffalo since the transfer to Har
risburg. The scores:
