HALEY KNOCKED OUT.
Jimmy Connors, of Buffalo. Does
the Business.

SAVANNAH, Ga, May flames Con-
nors, OF Buffalo, defeated James Haley,
of New York, in glove contest last
night, in twenty-three rounds. The
first round opened with Connors lead
ing. and he kept it up all through the
fight. For twenty-three rounds Con-
nOrs came to the center of the ring,
smiling and confident. No damage was
done TO either man until the twelfth
round. when continued battering of
Haey's left cheek by Connors' left hand
laid that part of his face open. Haley
evened up things in the next
round, and, owing to the IN
even floor, Connors, in trying to
get away, slipped backward and
before he could recover Haley gave him
right-hander in the mouth and knocked
him over. In the nineteenth and TWEEN
tieth rounds it was easily seen that
Haley was weakening. and his efforts to-
return Connors' repeated assaults were
futile. The twenty-third round was, tho
best of the battle. Connors at the end
of one minute had Haley PROSTATE be-
fore him. A few terrific blows in tina
face did the business. Haley failed to
arise before the ten seconds were up,
and the fight was awarded to COnHOIS.

noticca!,ly so the past week. Speaking
of the work being done by his men,
Thompson SAID last night: Both my
self and the players are indignant at
the stories atioat that four or five of
the latter are disgracing the st. Paul
uniform by bowling up These rumors
are absolutely false. Most of the nine
take glass of beer occasionally, but not
one OF them has been intoxicated since
the season opened. The fact is, |
haven't single 'luslier' this year. My
men are all gentlemen, and are always
thoroughly sober when they go Oh the
field to play ball. The report that sew
eral Minneapolis players remained in
St. Paul week ago last night TO hill
up the st. Paul team is nonsense. ]
know the Minneapolis players went
home on the train with Morton at &
O'clock and did not return to st. Paul.
The team had bad luck ard abOminable
weather at Milwaukee. 1t was so cold
that we hal to wear Overcoats. and the
wind blew at such terrific rate that
bail playing was out of the question.
We merely went through the motions OF
Il contest to secure guarantee money. l
know there is a feeling among the
public that my team is not
strong enough to win the pennant, and
am keeping close eye on it myself
with view to putting in better timber
here and there. Several of the men are
merely playing on trial. l think the
critics put too low an estimate on Can
tillon's ability. lie is proving one of
the quickest and most accurate men we
ever had at second. In batting, l admit
he has SO far proved weak. He always
hits the ball, however, and his low av-
erage is mostly due 10 i'll luck in placing
the ball. As soon as the weather warns
up, and the men get down to work. L
shall apply the pruning knife wherever
necessary to add strength. have faith
in the team, and expect it to land some
where near the top next September"
The records made by the members of
both the st. Paul and Minneapolis teams
are given below.

dropped away TO fourth place. leaving
Denver and Sioux City a tie for the
lead. Des Moines showing up a strong
third. st. Paul. Kansas City, Mil
waukee. and Omaha are all be-
low the 500 mark, with but
slight differences in their percentages.
The present outlook is that the two
Hawkeye teams will fight with Mime
"apOlis for the lead during the next tive
weeks. Denver falling away to keep
company with the teams of the last
9iEartette. 1t is the general impression
that Milwaukee will soon begin climb
ing and be in at the death not far in the
rear Of Team No. /. Kansas City has
plainly parted with too many Of its best
players, and Omaha is evidently not in
it. AT this writing it looks as though
the fight for the pennant would finally
be between Sioux City and Minneapolis.

Result Of Contests in the Two

About $500 people shivered for nearly
two hours yesterday, and watched an
uninteresting game at Minneapolis
Athletic part. The Flour City sports
came to the park smiling, for they felt
that the men in the green and white
owed trouHcing to the team from st.
Paul, and they were on hand to sec 1t.
In the first inning their smile broad
ened, for, although but three hits were
punched by the locals, the rivals from
down the stream piled up errors enough
to have lost six games, and after the
Minneapolis players had batted once
around, five scores were chalKed upon
the blackboard. st. Paul came to bat,
and. assisted by couple of errors, hits
bv pitcher. bases on balls and other
forms of untold agony. scored six times.
After this they we're never headed, and
although Minneapolis tried trio of its
crack pitchers, the husky Apostles
batted out singles, doubles and home
runs with regularity that tlnged the
air about the bleachers deep azure
hue. Burks and DAILY led at the bat,
and all the team seemed to be OH more
than speaking terms with the bounding
disc. The only pretty plays of the
game were CAROLS circus catch of
long drive by Brought0n against the
fence and his quick throw to catch Alb
hey at first and Fosters steal in from
center to catch HAYES mapping at sec
ond. The victory for st. Paul was
chiefly due to the Minneapolis mems
inability to hit Mains. who, aside from
being fearfully wild, pitched a great
game. The Flour City men had good
luck in getting Oh bases, but Mains
steadied down in every case and let
them die there. The Apostles might
have kept on scoring until the evening
star appeared. but the umpire's voice
got hOarse. and as their limbs grew
weary from the repetition of 120-yard
dasheS around the bases, they allowed
their exhausted opponents to get them

al. The record:

The American association is getting
pretty we'll settled down TO work. and
Rochester is in front, with the irrepres-
sible Browns not far away. Louisville
has dropped away to third place, but
promises to rise again. Columbus,
believed to be the best team in
the roganization, is playing
very unsteady game. and is not
far from the rear. The team, however,
will probably take big brace. Really
the four Western teams, which so far
have played with each other, are the
strongest in the association, and will
begin to rise as soon as they meet the
Eastern contingent. The record follows:

Col. Bonner's Lecture.

On Wednesday night, July 2, at
the Chautauqua encampment, Col.
I. R. Bonner, of Tyler, lestGredea
"a layman's views of layman's'
duty" Col. Bonner has been a
church member many years, and,
from long observation and expert
ence, gave some views regarding
the duties resting upon private
members of the church. He eyi-
IDENTIFY has deep interest in
church affairs. Col. Bonner ex,
pressed the opinion that laynf-7.
should be regular in attendance
upon church services, and should
be ready to take part in certain
services. Every church member
has influence for good, and should
exert that influence. Members
who attend church regularly
should talk with those who no not
and try to influence them to attend
Layment should carry religion in
to business and home life; should
be "diligent in business" think
more of religion, and hold family
prayers. Ministers should attend
specially or exclusively to the
work of the ministry, and laymen
should see that provision is made
for the support of the ministry.
In towns and cities more attention
should be paid to people in hum
BILE walks of life. In this connec-
ton Col. Bonner said that most of
the men who rule the country
came from these humble walks, in
which they were fitted for respon-
sible positions in church and state.
He spoke encouragingly to young
men who have to work at manual
labor, and also advised them to do
right, and not allow ridicule to
cause them to do wrong. In his
concluding remarks, Col. Bonner
said the grandest day in the life
of good man is that in which he
comes to die.-Williamson County
