Sullivan of the Washingtons is not
near as good shortstop as Stricken,
according to Sam Cranes way of think
ing.
1t is not so much putting the pitcher
back five feet that makes him such a
mark for the batsman as it is the fact
that he cannot move around in the
pitchers box as he used to. On this &C.
count the eye of the batsman is not de-
ceived, as used to be the case.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Two Reports Received In Regard To
Corrupt Practices I'm Elections.
HARTFORD, June Ain the senate to-
day a resolution was passed concerning
dependent and neglected. children.
In the house majority and minority
reports came from the judiciary COM
mittee concerning corrupt practices in
elections. The majority reported IN
favor of a modified form of the Ham
ersley bill. 1t provided an amendment
scaling fifty per cent the amount al
lowed to be expended by candidates in
the first three classes of offices, and seal
ing variously the allowances in the
other classes. The other pro-
visions of the original bill are
retained, except that application to the
superior court in election contests may
be made by any candidate or by twenty
electors. The minority bill places no
limit on the election expenses, but pro-
vides that the funds shall not be ex-
pended for corrupt practices and that
candidates must file a statement of ex-
penses.
The committee on constitutional
amendments reported adversely on the
amendments providing that after the
year 1900 each town will have one
representative and one additional repre-
sentative for each 5000 inhabitants, re-
dividing the state into senatorial dis
tricts and providing that selectmen
shall hold Office for two years. The
amendments were rejected.
Resolutions were passed authorizing
the city of Waterbury to convey lands;
abating the taxes of the Meriden, Wa
terbury & Connecticut River road, and
amending the charter of the Waterbury
Horse Railroad Co.

fool the would be "sports." In the 2:4t
class it was suspected that "Jim," who
sold for 81 against $40 for the field in
the early part of the race, was being
pulled, and later it was the opinion oi
1 many that "Fannie S." was also being
held back. AS a result of this in the
fourth heat John Cheney, "Jlm's'
driver, was taken down and Charles
Swan substituted. "Fannie SIS" driver
was warned that if he held his horse
again he would be expelled from the
track. Then the race went smoother
but there was plenty of excitement.
