Nstrlke yesterday afternoon and two
young men named Tyler and Foxen
were the principal sutterers thereby.
Ureat things were expected ot the
Tracy-Kennedy combination and an
even 3,000 turned out to see the sport.
Umpire McLachlan announced Voor
hees and Tyler as the principal per
formers In the fray and -while the
norkt rHHon of Itubo Vickers did
driven to the bench in the seeondiin
TlW. .
Ilartford's infleld played a ragged
gaviie and this, with the bunching of
liitfa by the home team, made the game
semire in the early part of the contest.
Fcxen -was substituted for Tyler in the
third and ho (succeeded in stopping the
sluggers from making many hits until
tneselghth inning, when he was touch
o Ji up in ft lively manner. The big
IdSad secured by Holyoke in the sec
ond seemed to diseouraee tne nart-
brds and the infleld made some bad
-fumbles. ' V
I Heinle Batch, who was recalled
vrom Brooklyn, distinguished himself
tbeth' at the bat and in the field, and
showed that he had not gone back
j'rom his work of last season, when he

JI.M O ROURKE' SMILES.
Mandger James O'Rourke smiles
again. Not at his team, but at some
of the Connecticut league maungers.
This time he is smiling at the expense
of Manager Danaher of New Haven,
from whom he won a .$5 hat. Mana
ger Danaher bet Manager O'Rourke
that he did not have any title to
Keyes, the third bagsman for :tho
Meriden team. Jamea took the net,
and it was a cinch. Yesterday he re
ceived a telegram from J. II. Farrell,
of the National association, which
reads like this: "Please stop Keyes
from playing with Meriden. First ac
cepted terms recorded here, is with
Bridgeport, and he is awarded to
Bridgeport under the rule. J. H. Far
rell." Manager O'Rourke replied by
telegraph last night asking Secretary
Farrell to notify President Wl P.
Bristol of the Meriden club of the de
cision. O'Rourke stands n second win
ner in the matter of disputes with
players, and Manager Danaher pays
for the hat.
LOOKING FOR A GAME.
A small boy, who looked as If he
meant business, dropped Into the Dem
ocrat office this noon and politely ask
ed that the following bo printed in the
paper: Tb Maple street buseball

ity for amateur teams that are spoiling
for a fight and say they cannot get
anybody to knock the chip otf their
shoulders. Now Is the time for the
Clovers of the south end, the Katydids
of Town plot and the Wasps of the
eastern section to buckle on their
fellows mean by putting Such an all

else, in a paper, everybody reads.
BASH BALL NOTES.
There will be lots of boisterous en
tertainment provided by the tact that
the-fences on the Holyoke grounds
can be occasionally reached by bats
men. , .
Holyoke will not find Hartford like
the team of last season. Captain
Daly has put a lot of cleverness Into
the general play of the team in its
practice games.
Old Sleuth Fleming, the old Hart
ford favorite, is to be dropped by
the Philadelphia Nationals. Fleming
is a grand" minor leaguer bvU that's
where he stops.
Dr Reisling is pitching well for To
ledo and, doing timely hitting. Friends
of Reisling say that Pittsburg made a
sad mistake When it allowed the doc
tor to sign anywhere else.
Tansey niay' eventually , get back

recovering fvom an injury, ' made two
bluriders yesterday that helped St

THE QUESTION OF
SUNDAY BASEBALL
Sunday baseball has had its first in
inngs on eastern grounds among the
big league teams. , The exeriment
made at Brooklyn, by teams of the Na
tional lengue raised a, number of ques
tions worth passing mention. The
argument of the managers that Sun
day baseball is played Jn Cincinnati is
not convincing when applied to New
York or Brooklyn. The wide open
Sunday of the middle west Is not yet
an institution of the city life of the
Atlantic seaboard, for the. theater or
the saloon. .. Public sentiment still
cliiigs to , puritanical respect for tho
Sabbath, if. you, plwase to call it this,
and tho law reflects; in all probability,
tho wishes of the majority. There jh,
on the other hand, some xeno in the
defense of 'tanager Hanloii: "The
people Qf Brooklyn ought' to velcome
Sunday baseball, a a healthy recrea
tion for Sunday afternoon and as a
means of keeping young men out of
trouble. lit Cincinnati, there is al
ways a decrease In the number of ar
rests when a game is played. .Young
men wan' amusement, and they are
better off to find it in a place where
no liquor Is sold."
This has a highly moral sound,, but
professional baseball managers ate
not in the business as missionaries,
and they want Sunday baseball solely
because it fattens their gate receipts.
This great national pastime ha been
put on a cleau and self-respecting ba
sis after years of fighting against row
dyism and elements of disrepute that
foretold ruin if persisted in. The
sport-loving public, want to see base
ball kept "on the level." It was not
"on the level" for the managers of the
Brooklyn and Boston teams to dodge
possible trouble with the law by sell
Ing "score cards" for a Sunday game
instead of admission tickets. These
"fake" tickets, were sold at the regular
admission rates, seventy-five, fifty and
twenty-five cents They were obvious
ly a trick to prevent evidence being
used against the management in case
of police action This suggests too un
pleasantly the dodges of pool-room men
and the wiles of policy runners in
"faking" their slips to look like stock
quotations. It Is patent that baseball,
well managed, will pay big profits ou
the Imvestment without Sunday base
ball, which is an "extra dividend." IS
it going to be worth while to degrade
the sport and the players by resorting
to sueh cheap and flimsy devices as
that exhibited in Brooklyn
Cosmopolitan New York would wel
come Sunday baseball, In paying pat
ronage, but so long as the law says no
it Is beneath what ought to be the dig.

ROOT WHIPS
GEO GARDNER
Beats Him Down In Six
Hounds and Gets Decision
Referee o f Walcott
Bout Tries to Explain.
Chicago, May 3. -Jack Root turned
the trick again last night.
He won his fifth battle rroru Gfcorgo
Gardner at the Waverly Athletic, club
in decisive style. The bout went the
six-round limit. Root had the victory
well in hand all through. A big crowd
turned out for the fight, and the x
cltemeut was intense. In the first
round it was pretty even thing.
Gardner started his regular in-fightlng
and kept hammering away at Itoot's
wide section throughout the round.
In the second Root reached Gardner
with a left to the jaw, Staggering
the Lowell man. Root maintained
his advantage and had a wrap on hid
wallops at the gong.
In the third it was pretty even, both
being a bit careful and Gardner not
quite so ready to mix it, he contenting
himself with efforts to wear Root
down with body punches. :
.The fourth went much the: same
way. It was tame and both men
worked cautlotisly. ' ,
The fifth- round proved to be the
hummer. Gardner started out vicious
ly at Root's body. ; Rtfot suddenly shot
A hard right to Gardner's jaw, flooring
him. Gardner pulled hlmttelf together
slowly and went Into- a clinch. ' He
kept Root from following up his ad
vantage throughout the remainder of
the round.
The erowd stood up and howled for
Roof to go in and finish. Root tried
but couldn't land a finishing blow. Up
to this time it seemed to be clearly
Root's battle. He started out in the
sixth round with a wild effort to knock
out his rival. In this session both
hammered at each other like angry
stevedoi'es. With thirty seconds to go
Root almost knocked Gardner down
again with n glancing right to the
jaw. Gardner was scoring heavilv
witb. Jolts to the body. Tiut they diit
not feaft the Bohenvtan. The round
wound up In as lively a fashipn as any
fight that has been held here in some
time. Both men were tired, but seem
ed bent on smashing in some kind of
a blow to score a knockout. Neither
however, seemed to, have a finishing
blow left. At the gong Referee Oeorgo
Slier awarded the bout to Root.
WALCOTT. AN UNKNOWN.
Albanj, May .l.--Tho announcement
was made here yesterday afternoon,
that Jo Walcott Is the unknown. Who

A BUM RKFEREE.
San Francisco, May 3. Duck Sulli
van made a statement yesterday morn
ing In regard to his decision at Colma
Friday night in the matter of the Joe
Walcott-Dixie Kid steal. It was the
first chance he has had to speak, as he
has been busy dodging angry sports
who bet their money on Walcott.
"Alee Gregglns." said Duck, "had no
right to jump into the ring and do to
me whAt he did. Gregglns give a bum
decision oncn himself, and he got a
chance to change If. Nobody jumped
into the ring and beat him tip. At
Sacramento a couple of years ago a
referee was allowed to change his
decision. If I thought the crowd be
lieved I was wrong I would have
changed my decision."
SIX HARD ROUNDS.
Chester, May ft.- Jack. Farrell of
Wilmington and Harry Lenny of thin
dty, lightweights fought a fierce and
bloody six-round battle last night oe
fore the Broadway A. C. The crowd
was so large that the sale of tickets
was stopped. Lenny forced the fight
ing and had the best of every round
but the fifth, when Farrell used foul
tactics and refused to obey the ref
eree. The police interfered and the
fight was allowed to continue after
Lnnnyjs left eye' had been split, and
the blood smearml the fighters and the
referee during the clinches. Joe
Grim of Philadelphia was knocked out
after three orunds of hard fighting by
Jack Reading, also of Philadelphia.

"At the time I gave for publication in January. iSOtf, ft statement
regarding the benefit I had drived from Doan's Kidney Pills I had
been affected with my kidneys and with persistent aching pains
through my loins and back for a long time. Going up or down
stairs hurt, or if I lifted anything it made my back lame and sore. -I
tried different remedies, 4 but they did little good; I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills and procured them from the H. W. Lake Prug
Co. They cured me. My brother's wife had been troubled with
her back and kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills cured her. A sister ot
mine has also used them with much benefit. Doan's Kidney PilH
are a very finft remedy and one to which I always give my highest
recommendation." '
