WORLD OF SPORTS

Yesterday Manager Burnham of New Haven forwarded contracts to all the | men who are to play in the New Haven | club this summer. Cudworth has | written to Manager Burnham and will | undoubtedly be seen around first base
 this year trying to rattle the opposing
 pitcher and creating laughter among
 the spectators.
 Manager Mutrie expected to go to | Boston yesterday and see Ed Crane but | was prevented from going. Crane tele, graphed that he would sign for $500. The club will not give this amount.
 Manager Mutrie telegraphed back ask
 ing Crane if he would accept $2,500. President Day said yesterday that keefe's refusal to sign would not be as prolific as formerly in causing anxiety as to whether he would or not. He said that no further attempt would be made to sign the great pitcher. If he wants to reopen negotiati ions he will have to come to the club. Rusie has accepted the terms offered by President Day. A Cincinnati dispatch says: "King Kelly says that he has just captured foI
 the association, Hoy, the greatest fielder
 in the country. This makes six players secured for the Cincinnati association club.
 Last nights base hall meeting at Hartford was largely attended and those present were unanimously in favor of joining the proposed state league. It
 was decided to raise a capital of $1, ,50O,
 in shares of $25. A committee was ap
 pointed to solicit subscriptions and they will begin work tomorrow. There seemed no doubt among those present that the amount can be easily raised. Speaking of base ball. the New Bri
 tain Herald says: Here in New Britain the Central league scheme has a number of friends, while there are many others
 who think that our place is in the state league. Considerable enthusiasm has been worked up in favor of club this summer. Our choice of the league which we will enter will depend greatly upon the results of the way the other cities take hold of the projects. At present we are on the fence. The meet. ing Tuesday night was harmonious, and that New Britain with a combination club from Plainville and Bristol would enter the State league seemed almost a certainty. It will take few days to
 ind out just where we stand.
 Steve Farrell of Rockville, the cham
 plon sprint runner of the United States, has accepted q months engagement

 NJ. J. Finn of Lynn. This will bring together seven of the fastest runners in the country and they will appear in exciting races at each performance. Farrell may continue with the show all summer. Farrell's proposed race with
 Harry Darrin, the English runner, has fallen through.

 by NinnN Erclates and Eriests

by Many Frclates and Priests.
 BOSTON, March 13.-The celebration of the 25th anniversary of the elevation to the episcopacy of the Roman Catholic Chunh of Archbishop John J. Williams was an inspiring one. The rows of aculytrs. clad in white and purple, the cross ana censor bearers, the semiuarians, the priests in their white surplceS and the prelates wearing their purple robes, the officiating clergy in their gorgeous vestmcnis. and the Archbishop in his pontiiical robes while the clouds of incense which per meated the atmosphere and the beautiful music added to the grandeur and solemn ity of the occasion.
 Pontifical high mass was celebrated be- fore a large audience. The bishops and clergy formed in the sacristy in the rear of the cathedral, and just before 10 o'clock emerged in procession into the cathedral.
 Following the priests and immediately preceding the prelates came the archie piscopal cross bearer, with boy on either side carrying lighted candle. He wore robe richly embroidered with gold. Then came the bishops-Healy, of Port land, Me; Bradley, of Manchester, N. H.; Dc Gosbriand, of Burlington, Vt.; McNIa- hon, of Hartford, Conn; Harkins, of Providence, R. l.; O'Reilly, of Springfield, Mass, and McQuade, of Rochester, N Y.
 When the procession reached the altar the officiating clergymen took their places beside the Archbishop, while the other bishops and clergy arranged them selves, as many as could be accCmmo- dated, within the sanctuary, the others, to large number, seating themselves be- fore the high altar.
 After the gospel the sermon was preached by Rev. James A. Healey, D.D., Bishop of Portland. At the conclusion of the services the Archbishop attended Q banquet given by the clergy of the arch diocese at which the visiting prelates were present.

TRYING TO SAVE LINGO.
Many CoAorcd Witnesses Called In tn,
 Prisoners Behalf.

 Prisoners Behalf.
 CAMDEN, N. J., March 13.-A further attempt to establish an alibi for Francis Lingo, on trial for the murder of Mrs. An nle Miller, was made by his counsel. The court room was crowded as usual. Judge Garrison was prompt in repressing any expression of feeling on the part of the auditors.
 The witnesses examined were all col ored persons, and some comment was made upon this fact. It appears as though the people of the prisoners race are determined to save him if possible. His wife was one of the witnesses. She told straight sounding story of her hus- bands return to his home on the Thurs day afternoon of the murder. She got a little tangled up, however, on the cross examination.
 Lingo assumed a different air from that on the previous days of the trial. He kept his face fiASd upon his counsel, ex-Judge Wescott, and away from the witnesses, and only once or twice did he turn toward them. Once it was in re- sponse to request of his counsel, so that one of the witnesses could identify him as the man he had seen in a certain locality. None of the usual smiles were to be ob- served upon the face of the defendant, and he evidently realized that upon the testimony of these witnesses his fate largely depended.

The Jews of San Francisco Discussing the
 Visit of the Czarewitch.
 SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-The Jewish community is divided in opinion as to just what attention should be shown to the Czarewitch, the eldest son of the En- peror of Russia, who will arrive in this city on the China steamship in about two weeks.
 Some think that as the representative of the Russian government which has passed laws inflicting great hardship and injustice upon the Jews, making exiles and bankrupts of thousands of them, the Czarewith should be coldly received by San Francisco.
 Others think that he should be openly snubbed, while the less radical believe he should at least be ignored by the Jewish people and courteously treated by the city officials.

THE CHIPS RETURN.
Chicago Has Another Visitation and tn
 Mortality Is High.

Mortality Is High.
 CHICAGO, March 13-The grip is on the increase, and there seems fair probabil- ity that Chicago is about to have an- other visitation like that of last winter. The County Hospital is filled with pa tients, and as pneumonia follows in many cases the mortality is high. Already the effect of the epidemic is visible in industries employing a largs aumber of men.
 Half of the regular force of street car employees is laid up and the ranks of the police are thinned. Forty letter carriers are prostrated, together with 50 postal clerks, as we'll as Postmaster Sexton and Assistant Hubbard.
 In the Custom House 12 clerks are on the grip sick list, and at the Pension Office eight have failed to report for the same cause
 At Hooley's Theatre last night, where Rosina Vokes's company is playing, the grip made itself felt.
 The green room looked like hospital, with doctors and nurses and medicine enough to stock 8 drug store. Rosina Vokes, Felix Morris and Eleanor Lane were all suffering from the disease, and Charles J. Bell was so i'll that he couldn't appear

President Harrison And The
 Difficulty at Hartford.
WILL HE CALL OUT THE MILITIA ?
The following explains itself:

The following explains itself:
 Mir President
 Your letter asking us to come to Wash ton to advise with you as to the best course to pursue in regard to the political situa- tion in Hartford is received.
 As we have business on hand of more remunerative character we are forced to decline your kind invitation. We think however, that it is your plain duty to CALL Our TIE MILITIA and drive the rascals out. We have plenty of soldiers here who are spelling for fight and among them is Col John B. Doherty, who is only waiting for an opportunity to become Grant, a Sheridan or Sherman. You seem to think that our national reputation as the ''land of steady habits" is degenerating.
 We'll, we are glai to inform you that our legislators do not represent the intel ligence of our people.
 Neither did we 20 to the Middletown asylum to choose our candidates, altho we confess you have some reasons to think so. But, Mir President, it is from com. mercial standpoint rather than political one that we wish to address you. The damage it is doing to trade Is beyond com putation, Govs Hill and Bulkeley are having hot time, but they can afford to as their salaries are going on and the peo- pie have the fun of footing the bills. In the name of the merchants and the buy ing public of the state we protest against it. It is going to interfere with our spring trade. We have just completed an ar rangemeut that will enable us to have a department for every article of household goods Our Baby Carriage department this year will be the mothers delight. Be sure and see them One hundred differ ent styles to select from. We have one whole floor devoted to Lounges of every conceivable design; 150 different styles to select from. Two great floors set apart for Chamber Suits, showing 125 different kinds. Parlor Suits in great variety. Po- lite attention to everybody. Our goods are marked in plain figures so that child can read them. We have been successful in the past and this spring we will make the greatest effort of our life in design, quality and low prices. Our Quaker Ranges are on everyones' tongue, and one customer brings another. Over 1,O0O.0O0 in use.

JACK BURKE WHIPPED.
Knocked Out in the Third Round by Ted
 Pritchard.

LONDON, March 13.-Jack Burke and Ted Pritchard met in the ring at the rooms of the Albany Club last night and in nine minutes and seven seconds Burke was knocked out, while Pritchard was as fresh as when time was called for the first round.
 Although Pritchard was the favorite, it was expected that Burke would make a better showing.
 In the first aRd second rounds Burke got in some good blows, but they lacked steam. In the third round Burke was knocked down three times, and failing to rise the last time within the limited 10 seconds was declared out.
 It was quite evident that Burke's fight ing powers are on the wane. The fight was for $5,000.
