WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Philadelphias have made a three years contract with Hamilton.
 The American association has lost sev- en catcheIs, six pitchers, three first, one second and two third basemen and three outfielders to the Players league. Now that the Bostons have secured Tucker they will not want Stearns, and the Kansas City people will be at liberty to dispose of him to some other club.
 The New York Sun says that it looks as if there would not be any Atlantic association this coming season, while the American association is in good shape, and Manager Rarnie is in a deep hole,
 Jim Wakely, named in Gov Lowry s requisition as participant in the Sulli- van-Kilrain prize fight at Richburg. Miss. gave $500 bail at Jefferson Market court yesterday morning. His bonds man was ex-Alderman Cavanaugh.
 A. R. Samuels, the champion sprinter of Australia, who won several big hand leaps in that country, is on the retired list and penniless. In one handicap he won over S25 ,OOO for his packers. and got only pony and saddle for gift outside | the price money and his board.
 Clarkson, Ganzel, Radbourn, Daily , Morrill, and Richardson stopped in Chi cago esterday on their way east from the slope. Clarkson in an interview said he had signed league contract on good business reasons and that he had nothing to regret. He admitted that he had done some work for the Boston league managers during his stay in California, and seemed to take considerable pride in his success in signing Ganzel and Catcher Hardie. Clarkson says the Brotherhood players treated him rather shabby in San Francisco, but this was no more than he expected. He declares that half of the Brotherhood players are only looking for good excuse to rejoin the league, and ventured the prophecy that the Brotherhood would not send a team to the field. Bennett, the great catcher, he says, will surely sign wieh the Boston league team.

STRUCK ON THEEROCKs.
The Steamer 'SCity of Worcester
 Wrecked on the Sound.


 Wrecked on the Sound.
 NEW LONDON, Jan 13.-The steamer City of Worcester of the Norwich line from New York for this port, is on the rocks about one-third of a mile north northwest of Bartlett's reef lightship. She struck at 1 o'clock yesterday morn ing during dense fog. Captain Ward, the first and second pilots and the quar- termaster were in the pilot house at the the lightship bell. The boat struck a thick fog off New Haven, and slowed down under ono bell, or half speed, which was continued until she struck on the rocks. Soundings were made and seventeen feet of water registered. The lead registered twenty-five feet just be- fore she struck. The steamer went on the rocks with succession of shocks and then stuck fast. The first compartment is all right, but there is from five to seven feet of water in the second, third and fourth compartments. The other two water tight compartments are not injured. The steamer lies easily. She rests on round boulders, her bow slightly raised. Her fires went out in a few minutes and she commenced sounding signals of dis tress. Failing to receive any response boats crew rOwed to this port and re- ported the disaster to the company S agent. Before arriving here. however, Agent Prentis received this notification | from Stonington:
 Steamer City of Worcester is ashore or disabled inside of Bartlett's reef (Signed) Captain of the Steamer Nara gansett.'
 This would make it appear that the | Worcester's signals were heard by the Narragansett, but she proceeded on heI way to Stonington, without stopping tC ascertain whether the Worcester's pas sengers and crew were in danger Luckily there was no danger of loss o1 life The officers and crew had nc trouble in assuring the fifty or more passengers that there was no danger. The Worcester was evidently off hel course one-quarter point, and drifted in side the lightship with the strong hoOC tide. Much indignation is expressed al the officers of the Narragansett for not offering assistance. She would not have been expected to come to the assistance of the Worcester, but at least she might have sent life boats to ascertain if lift was endangered.
 Wrecker Scott with his helpers art hard at work to-day with tugs, bu owing to the thick fog and heavy SC: cannot do much. The City of Worceste was built five years ago at a cost O. $5O0,O and was one of the best al ( finest boats on the sound. Among mariners she had the reputation of hay ing run down more crafts than an, steamer flying on the sound.

SIXTEEN STARTERS.
The Big Race Successfully Begun
 This Afternoon.

This Afternoon.
 At exactly four minutes after one o'clock this afternoon the word was given and sixteen Timber pedestrians set out upon their long journey at the rink. There was Hegelman, who has fairly won the title of king of twelve-hour-a- day walkers; Guerrero, who recently beat the worlds record for thirty-six hours Hughes the lepper, a new man of the six day straight-away races in New York; Little Connor, the English racer Pete Golden, who took second place in the Christmas week race in Pittsburg when the waCld's record was beaten Cartwright, the world s champion for fifty miles Davis, Sulli- van, the Bangor ghost Taylor Sturgeon. Tracey, Curley, Old Man Elson, Fox. Carley and an unknown, christened "The Shadow"
 Tracey took the lead at the start and set a sprinter's pace, making his first mile in five minutes and forty-five sec onds with Hegelman, Guerrero, Golden, Connor, Hughes and the others at his heels. At the end of an hour Tracey had 9 miles and IA laps to his credit, and was still setting the pace. Guerrero was one lap behind, Hegelman two and the others from three laps to almost three miles.
 Of the new men in the race Hughes the lepper. is one of the best known. This is his first race since July and he is out of training. He says if he can keep up with the fast youngsters to-day he is all right for the rest of the week. II must do my best to win the race, said Hughes to DEMOCRAT reporter, flor the mortgage on my home comes due in few days and have not money enough to meet it. left my wife on a sick bed to come to Waterbury,"

Already he is looking out for his finan- cial interests and for consideration is wearing one of the Plymouth Rock Clothing company's placards upon his back bearing the inscription in bold let ters Do You Wear Pants.'
 Guerrero says he is in the race to win and is in the pink of condition as in fac, all hands profess themselves to be. The Shadow is quiet little fellow and zoe: along about his business without looking for applause.
 The attendance at the opening was about 200, a much larger crowd than ever before saw the opening of race ir this city.

 There was a falling off the latter part of the week in the sale of grip remedies, but business took a jump up yesterday more serious thing than the grip itself is the number of severe cases of pneu- monia and bronchitis, many of them fol- lowing attacks of the influenza.
