New Haven, July 2. Four pitchers
were required in the game in which
New Haven yesterday beat Holyoke, 7
to 6, Hajiifan replacing Quinn at the
close of the third, and Hodge relieving
Voorhees in the fifth. After that the
batting was lighter, although rapid
fielding had much to do with keeping
the hits down. A fine double play
by Fitxpatrick and Schincel was the
feature, retiring a man at first and an
other at the plate. The score:
New Haven.

DOE WANTS HEMMING.
New Bedford Manager Still Seeking
Springfield Man.
Manager Alfred G. Doe of the New
Bedford club of the New England
league i trying to have George Hem
ming, the former Springfield player,
agree upon terms. The New Bedford
manager wants to use. Hemming at
first base, but his chances of getting
Hemming are not exceptionally good.
Doe is the manager who expected to
get Jack Tighe from the official repre
sentative of the Worcester team, Mal
achf J. Kittredge, in a deal in which
five players were to go to New Bed
ford. Doe had a sad experience with
Mr Kittredge and after parting with
$1,000 he had a difficult time getting
his money back. Doe is eager to nave
Hemmintr close and he has made
strong moves, but George is devoting
a few days to considering the future.
BASEBALL NOTES.
Thoney has been sent to Rochester
by the New York Americans.
Elberfeld expects to resume play
for the New York Americans next
Monday.
The National league race is getting
scattering and is not as- interesting as
It was a month ago.
Brush wired Secretary Knowles yes
terday that he had completed negotia
tions whereby the New York Nationals
get Pitcher Elliott from Cincinnati.
The New York Nationals have
blanker opponents eleven times thiB
season Boston twice! Brooklyn twice,
Philadelphia once, Pittsburg twice,
Chicago thrice and Cincinnati once.
All except St Louis.
Clarkson accompanied the New York
Americans over from Boston and is
likely to pitch a game this week. Hit
ting 'at the right time is how Griffith's
men account for their success on the
road. Conroy, Keeler, Ganzel, Elber
feld, Kleinow, and Osteen saw Thurs
day's game at the Polo grounds.
The Boston Americans have traded
Outfielder O'Neill to Washington for
Selbaeh. It is expected that both
men will do better with new surround
ings. The agitation over the Dough
erty deal, O'Neill succeeding Dougher
ty in Boston, affected O'Neill's useful
ness in Boston.
The Chicagos have beaten the
Clevelands six times this season by
one run. The New York Americans
have done well in games of one run
margin of victory, winning eleven and
losing five. The St Louis Cardinals:
have engaged in more of such contests
than any other team, twenty-six in all,
of which twelve have been victories.
Joe Walcott and Larry
Temple Fight a Hard
Battle Two Society Men
Have it Out.
Baltimore, July 2. Joe Walcott and
Larry Temple fought like wildcats
through ten rounds to a draw before
Al Herford's athletic club last night.
Temple started in like a whirlwind
in the first round, and 'there was a hot
exchange of swings, cuts arid wallops.
The second round was a repetition of
Temple's rushing when Walcott would
clinch and wallop his right to Tem
ple's kidneys.
Temple's rushes made the crowd yell
and he landed some effective blows,
but Walcott 'always had a punch in
return. Temple continued the forcing
in the third and fourth rounds, aud
had a shade the better of these two.
In the fifth Walcott evened up mat
ters with wallops to the head and
stomach.
The sixth made Temple look like a
winner to the crowd. He rushed Wal
cott, swinging, rights and lefts for
Walcott's head, and he made the Bar
bados wonder tin-can until he fell
through the ropes.
Temple continued to hit 'at Walcott
until Referee O'Hara pulled him away.
When Walcott got up Temple again
rushed, and had Walcott going when
the gong sounded.
The seventh wag tame. The crowd
was yelling then, but changed its tune
in the eighth, when Walcott landed a
right on Temple's jaw and scored the
cleanest kind of knockdown. Temple
took the count and came back into a
clinch, looking all but out. He re
ceived more rights and lefts to the
head, but managed to stay the round
out. ,
The ninth and tenth were fast, too.
Temple fought, but was evidently sat
isfied to stay the limit. Walcott tried
hard to finish Temple, but could not
land rieht.
The decision of a draw was popular.
RACING.
DRIVING PARK SPORTS.
SOCIETY MEN FOUGHT.
Philadelphia, July 2. To settle 'a
grudge, Charles Willing and P. Cad
wallader Dade, both of whom are well
known socially, fought twenty rounds
Wednesday night, 'and Willing was
proclaimed the .victor. The fight,
which was witnessed by a few of the
friends of the men, was lively from
the start.
The men fought because they had a
tiff on the streets several weeks ago
in which Dade slapped Willing in the
face. Willing was hot, and Dade
didn't object to the row going still fur
ther. It had been agreed that the fight
should be to a finish, and it went to
the twentieth round with neither of
the combatants having gained any ap
parent advantage. Toward the end of
this round Willing landed a blow that
resulted in a. knockout. A former
Yale oarsman was referee.
Dade married Frances Rawle Pem
berton, an actress. Willing is a rela
tive of Mrs John Jacob Astor. ,
Big Day on Monday for South End
Social Club.
Everything is now in readiness for
the second grand carnival 'and picnic
to be given by the South End Social
clulr and the Waterbury Driving asso
ciation at the Driving park July 4, af
ternoon 'and evening.
It is expected that one of the largest
crowds will be on hand as considerable
interest i3 being manifested in the
different athletic sports. The 100
yard dash, which will be exclusively
for boys under 16 years, is causing no
end of 'anxiety annon the young gen
eration and already over 50 entry
blanks have been given out.
Fhere is considerable interest taken
in the match race between Highball
and American Girl, wihich will be for
one mile. Charles Gumpfer, the well
known business man of the south end,
is the owner of Highball, and John F.
Downey will look after the interests of
American Girl. A side bet has been
made on this race between the inter
ested parties and there is a consider
able number of small bets.
The automobile race will certainly
be a novel feature of the picnic, as
this will be the first race of its kind
held in this city.
The 2:35 class, which will include
many of the fast horses in the Nauga
tuck valley, will srive the public an
idea of the kind of horse that is in
this section.
The fat men's race, which will be
for 75 yards, will without 'a doubt, be
the means of many pounds of flesh be
ing, lost on the Driving park Monday
afternoon, as. a number of the 300
pound class have already entered.
The committee has made arrange
ments to keep the grand stand re
served for ladies and children in the
evening so they may have an opportun
ity of witnessing the fireworks, which
will take place at Morningside.
Dancing will be enjoyed both after
noon and evening to the tuneful music
furnished by F. J. Lallier's orchestra,
which will furnish music up to a late
hour.
The athletic sports will commence
promptly at 2:30, so all those who are
to enter the different races are re
quested to be on hand so that all the
races will be completed by dark.
There will be policemen on the
grounds all day go those who attend
will be assured of good order prevail
ing during the picnic.

NEW YORK, July 2. The feature at
Sheepshead Bay was the handicap at

the stretch turn, and after questioning
the jockeys the steward's disqualified
Graziallo. The official placing was
Brigand first, Douro second and Male
Hanlon third. Ancestor, in the second

BAIL HITS A THIEF.
CHICAGO A ATEUR PITCHER'S
AIM PROVES EFFECTIVE.
Fugitive Dropped in His Tracks When
Hit by Anderson's Unique Missile
and Is Safely Lodged in
Police Lockup.
A ball pitched by the captain of a prai
rie "nine" brought a burglar to earth
near Addison street and Racine avenue,
Chicago. The burglar afterward es
caped by a ruse from his athletic captors,
who had surrounded him, but Lieut. Mc
Carthy, of the town hall station, was so
struck by the novel means of halting the
fugitive that he is considering making
a requisition upon the department and
arming his men with the new weapon.
The struggle followed a raid by a
well-dressed man upon the house of Mrs.
Norman Staat, in which $600 worth of
jewelry was taken, and interrupted a
lively game of baseball which was in
progress in a vacant lot at the rear of
Mrs. Staat's home.
While excitement over the contest was
at its height, Mrs. Staat left her house
by the rear door and went to a market
two blocks away. As she crossed the lot
and turned the corner, a young man,
who had been an Interested spectator at
the game, strolled away.
A few minutes later he was seen going
up the front steps of the Staat house. He
forced an entrance by using a case knife,
but a real estate dealer saw hfm, and,
running to the vacant lot, gave the
alarm.
The game was adjourned in the middle
of an inning, and John Anderson, pitch
er and captain of the team in the field,
led the other 17 players and a crowd
of substitutes and spectators in a
charge upon the house.
"Surround the house," shouted An
derson. "We'll keep him here until the
police come." The players waited until
the burglar showed himself at an upper
window in the rear, and then set up a
shout.
"Come on out ! We dare you to! We'll
fix you!" were the greetings that

San Francisco, July 2. Jack Monroe,
the Butte miner, who is to fight Jef
fries for the heavyweight champion
ship of the world in August, has been
knocked out by Cupid. The big box
er is to become a benedict as soon as
the coming fight is over.
The young woman to whose charms
he has succumbed is Miss Jessie
Downing, daughter of Mr and Mrs J;
Downing, of Watsonville. Downing
formerly conducted Camp Goodwill,
and it was while Monroe was training
a few years ago there that the engage
ment was made. The wedding was
to have occurred after the miner got

thought better to wait until after the
mill with Jeffries was settled, when
Monroe expects to be better .fixed financially.

YALE'S TEAM FOR ENGLAND.
Does Not Like the Way American
Yachts are Sailed Ingomar Win.
Kiel, July 2. Races for three classes
of yachts, from Kiel to Travemunde,
started early yesterday. Emperor Wil
liam's Meteor. Ill, the Empress's Idu
na. Morton Plant's Ingomar and Herr
Ballin's Hamburg entered the big
schooner class, but the imperial yachts
did not sail, the race being between
the Ingomar and Hamburg. Tneir
course was nearly 100 miles long. The
smaller yachts had shorter courses.
The wind was light and variable,
which prolonged the contest until a
late hour. The Ingomar and Navahoe
won in their respective classes. There
was much. disappointment that the em
peror neither sailed the Meteor III him
self, as is his custom, nor allowed her
to be sailed.
London, July 2. A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Kiel says that Em
peror William is so annoyed by the
manner in which the American .yachts
there have been sailed that he refused
to share in the races Friday. He did
not attend the distribution of prizes.
The Field describes in detail the rac
in gat Kiel up to .Time 29, but nikes no
mention of dissastisfaction with the
Americans. It remarks that the Me
teor III was wholly to blame for the
incident on June 26, when she was
nearly in collision with the Ingomar, a
fact that Emperor William recognized
by retiring from the race.
The Field points out that the meas
urement and time allowance rules gov
erning the regatta have proved' very un
satisfactory for the British and Ameri
can yachts, none of which is built to
meet such conditions. s

certainly have been selected had he
not given ut the track for the dia
mond. Yale will bear the full brunt
of the battle in the mile rim and Har
vard in the two-mile, but both univer
sities will be represented in the other
fixtures.
The united teams will sail on Wed
nesday on the Teutonic. The Yale
athletes will be accompanied by G. E.
Parks, '01, undergraduate manager,
and L. P. Sheldon, '96, graduate advis
er. Joseph B. Thomas, jr, and C. H.
Sherrill, of the graduates' committee,
who have been mentioned as advisers
of the team, are unable to make he

After landing at Liverpool the Amer
ican collegians will pass the ten days
before the meet at Brighton, going
from the training quarters at the sea
shore district to the Queen's Club.
Word has been received that King Ed

Kills Has No Word of Loomis,
SUEZ, July 2. W. H. Ellis, on board
the Messageries Maritimes steamer
Oxus, which passed here on the way
to Jiboutil, when interviewed said that
he had no information regarding F.
Kent Loomis, brother of Francis B.
Loomis, the American assistant secre
tary of state, who disappeared recent
ly from the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. at Plym
outh, England, and who was traveling
in company with Ellis en route to

reached him. Apparently the array of
sturdy young men, armed with bats and
clubs, dismayed the marauder, for, after
gazing at the crowd a moment, he van
ished from the rear window.
By this time Mrs. Staat had returned
from the market. She wondered that
the boys should be so thick about the
house, and thought she would have to
complain to the police, but went up tht
front steps with apparent unconcern.
As she reached the top step the bur
glar opened the door and rushed out,
knocking Mrs. Staat down as he came.
With a yell, the players ran toward
him, but he dodged the blows aimed at
him, and passed his besiegers one by
one. Just as he was clear and started
to run down the street, Anderson, who
had been watching in front of the
house, drew himself back and pitched
the hardest ball he had thrown during
the afternoon. His aim was true, and
the leather sphere struck the burglar
squarely in the back of the ear.
, The fugitive staggered and sunk to
his knees with his hands to his head,
and before he could rise again several
men had seized him.
"Now we've got you." they shout
ed, pulling him to his feet.
The man gazed at them for a mo
ment, still holding his head. Then his
gaze became fixed, he tossed his hands
above his head and fell back on the
sod between the walk and the curb.
"He's fainted; get some water," cried
Peterson. All three started, and then
remembered that the prisoner should
be guarded. They had barely left his
side, but the breeze of their departure
had revived the "sick" man, and he
fled, to be seen no more.
He took with him jewelry of Mrs.
Staat valued at $500.

St. Petersburg? Says Japs' Report ot
Sinking of Russian ghips Off Port
Arthur Is False-Vladivostok
Pleet Safe In Port.
LONDON, July 2. A Ldaoyang dis
patch says that General Kuropatkin,
with re-enforcements, has personally
moved on the Dalin pass, which has
been evacuated by the Japanese and
reoccupied by the Russians.
At St. Petersburg it is said that the
Japanese report of the sinking of sev
eral vessels of the Russian squadron
and that the killed included Rear Ad
miral Prince Ouktomsky and 700 sail
ors is absolutely untrue.
Emperor Nicholas has received the
following dispatcb from Viceroy Alex
eieff: "A report received from the acting
commander of the Port Arthur squad
ron, Rear Admiral Withoft, states that
when the Japanese attacked Port Ar
thur eight torpedo boats were dispatch
ed to guard the roadstead seven miles
Out to sea.
"The torpedo boats repulsed the ene
my's torpedo boats, which had ap
proached. During thiB action Com
mander Ellisselen, Lieutenant Smir
noff and two bluejackets were wound
ed. All the torpedo boats returned
safely.
"Then the Novik, Diana, Askold,
Sevastopol, Poltava, Cesarevitch, Po
bieda, Peresviet, Retvizan, Bayan and
Pallada steamed out into the roadstead
in line ahead and anchored. Two float
ing Japanese mines having been per
ceived in the roadstead, the squadron
remained at anchor.
"Meanwhile several small boats
which had been searching for mines
discovered and exploded ten on the
eastern side of the roadstead. An ex
amination showed that the mines were
probably laid during the night by two
of the enemy's torpedo boats, which
had approached Port Arthur.
"Later the squadron, preceded by
a flotilla of mine dredgers, torpedo
boats and the Novik, steamed in line
ahead toward the open sea, having
emerged from the roadstead without
mishap. The squadron shaped its
course southward, and the dredgers
were sent back to Port Arthur, escort
ed by armed picket boats. Two Japa
nese scouts with a detachment of tor
pedo boats were keeping our squadron
in sight all the while.
"Twenty miles from shore a Japa
nese squadron was sighted steaming
in division lines ahead, which on draw
ing closer was found to be composed
of one second class and four first class
battleships, four armored first class
cruisers, seven second class cruisers,
five third class cruisers, one scout boat,
one steamer and thirty torpedo boats
in two divisions.
"As they approached the Japanese
were seen to be preparing to place a
division of cruisers and torpedo boats
between the shore and our squadron in
trdex that durine the. 4a.rkn.et. they
might force by persistent torpedo at
tacks some of our ships to break the
formation and engage us with all their
ships.
"Taking into consideration the fact
that the enemy's entire force was
greatly superior to ours and in view
also of the large number of Japanese
torpedo boats, I decided to return to
Port Arthur.
"The squadron reached the roadstead
of Port Arthur, where it cast anchor.
At the same time our rearmost war
ships successfully repulsed two Japa
nese torpedo attacks.
"There were afterward found along
the coast near our warships twelve
Whitehead torpedoes which had beea :
launched by the enemy at long range,
the torpedo boats n6t being allowed
to approach nearer than twelve cable
lengths. "The torpedo boats attacked la
groups, and at least two of them were
sunk,
"The bodies of a Japanese officer and(
two sailors have been found upm thi
beach.
t4All our vessels entered port at bigft,
tide."
A Llaoyang dispatch says that Gea
eral Kuropatkin and General KurolfclJ
are moving their troops like men on mi
chessboard, The Japanese are mBM
twenty miles from Llaoyang. Detach
ments totaling 1,200 men have beea
detailed from General RennenkampfFfti
Cossacks to scout in the defiles and
hills, harassing the Japanese atid not
allowing them any rest day or night,!
The Japanese artillery is said to be
commanded 'by an American. His tall
form is frequently seen with the bat
teries. The Russian center is baing rapidly
pushed northward to a point where
Kuropatkin established his base after
the battle of Vafangow. So far as
the Russians know Kurokl Is steadily
pushlag onward through all the moun
tain passes, even toward Mukden.
Preparations for a' strong defense are
now practically complete. The dem
onstrations made during the last few
days against the Russian left fifffl
threaten to completely Changs the po
sition of the two armies.
Red Cross trains with wounded are
continually passing northward.
Admiral Skrydloff has reported tq
St. Petersburg that the Vladivostok
squadron has returned to that port un
damaged. The admiral confirms the
bombardment of Gensan.
