The whole city, or at least that portion
OF it over which the ball cranks preside,
are, to use street phrase, dead struck
on the Providence Grays at this particu-
lar time. And we'll they may he proud of
their representatives on the diamond, for
they are playing ball for all its is worth
and 1t Is only the rainy weather which they
have encountered during the past fortnight
that keeps them out of first place. But it
makes very little difference thus early in
the season whether they are in first or
second place so long as they play ball and
play to win. II is a coincidence that If
the five games played this week all have
been whitewashed and of these the Grays
have been on the wrong end of but one.
The Brown cranks will have another
opportunity to see their favorites up
against the Holy Cross College boys, for
another game has been arranged which
will be played on Lincoln field on the 9th.
The sterling quality of the last game be-
tween these two crack teams guarantees
a good attendance at the coming game.
Billy Frazier and Jack McAulitfe have
been matched to box ten rounds before
the Manhattan Athletic Club for n $500

before, once in "A four-rouud draw and the
other time McAuliffe got the decision
after twenty-one rounds. Frazier had
one the best of this 90 up TO the twentieth
round, but when he saw he couldn't win

down and quit.

The Queen Won't Have Il.

LONDON, June 3.-With his accession
to the title Of Duke of York Prince
George of Wales is again brought into
prominence as a marriage candidate. It
was confidently expected by many who
profess to know the ins and outs Of court
life that the list OF the Queens birthday
honors, which gave the dukedom to the
heir presumptive, would contain also the
announcement that the title OF Royal
Iighness had been conferred upon Prn-
cess Victoria Mary of Teck. She is as de-
cidedly opposed to match between
Princess May and the Duke of York as
,he was to the engagement Of the Duke
OF Clarence, TO which she gave her con-
sent only after many protestations from
the Prince and Princess of Wales.

NEW HAVEN, June 3.-Yesterday's
game was the prettiest exhibition of bali
playing ever seen in this city, and like
the one on Wednesday, it resulted in a
whitewash for the home team. 1t was a
defeat of which no club has any reason to
complain, and the cranks went home sat
isfied that they had got their moneys
worth, although their favorites had been
defeated.
For eleven innings neither side could
score, and the New Havens had played
their half of the twelfth. When IL came
TO the Grays' turn at bat in this inning
Farrar was the first man up, aud he
waited until Fournier put up four bad
balls. and then trotted TO first. Joe Hor-
Dung came next, and attempted TO sac
rifice, but made scratch hit into
the diamond instead and beat it out
To first. Leighton came up and did the
same thing, and the bases were full, with
nobody out. The infield players came up
near the plate, and when Leo Smith
pounded a sharp one down TO Cross at
short. the latter fielded it beautifully and
threw IL to cut off Farrar, who was forced.
Wells got the ball, touched the plate and
threw To first, shutting of Smith, thereby
accomplishing double play. Joe Hor-
nung was on second base when Smith hit
the ball, and instead of stopping at third
he kept right on and reached the plate
before Flanagan could get the ball back
TO Wells at home. 1t was great base run
ming on Hornung's part, and 1T won the

on the fire. 1t was the worst conflagra-
tion in the city for over two years.
President Hart OF the company says that

had previously been cautioned that he
would be held responsible for any breach
of the law.
The police did not recommend the pros

tion instituted against Slavin and Nc
Auliffe after their fight had ended in an
acquittal. The prosecution, Mr.. Mat

fight might be fought with gloves. The
