Results of Games Played Yesterday
Afternoon.

The Browns visited Worcester yester-
day and before the game the Holy Cross
nine had some thoughts OF winning, but
their thoughts were distracted by a score
of 20 to B, and the University boys came to
town each with a fresh scalp at his belt.
Brown didn't play real hard either.
This afternoon the Providence Grays
got together and practiced with the
Bostons. A stable crowd at
Adelaide Park are admiring the league
champions and encouraging the home
players.
The league season began in earnest
yesterday Boston won easily from
Brooklyn, 13 TO 2 in Boston. Long made
the first home run. Eight hundred saw
the running.
Washington and Philadelphia had a
pretty game in Washington. The Sena-
tors defeated the Quakers to-. Nearly
5000 saw the game.
More than 1900 shouters saw Balti-
more lay the Giants of New York out in
Baltimore. The Monuments skurried
around the bases eight times while the
other fellows rested with four.
Nearly 10000 looked astonished in st.
Louis because the home club, damned the
Pttsburgs IL to 3.
Rain prevented the Cincinatti-Chica
game at Cincinatti and the Louisville
Cleveland game at Louisville.
Stricker, last season with the Washing
ton Lea sue Club, will be second baseman
for the Grays. He was in the field today.

BRIEF LOCALS.

At the Providence Evangelical Young
Women's Christian Association, Monday
evening, April %, Miss Emma l.. stow,
superintendent of nurses at the Rhode
Island Hospital, with the help OF Miss
Ayers. assistant superintendent, will give
an interesting talk on nursing the sick
in our homes, with practical illustrations.
The officials i'm the Board of Health office,
atty hall, wish that the general public
would get on to the fact that they have lot
of placards for free distribution, the pur-
pose of which is to inform tenants that
there is fine of go for throwing
ashes, sticks, stones, old or new
rags, broken crockery, fish or meat bones,
old morning papers or anything else that
may obstruct into closets.
A feature that everybody hasn't appre-
ciated even yet enlivened the Kirmess
Wednesday evening. A Japanese in full
costume of the brica-brac land
appeared on the stage and went
through dance. The audience naturally
supposed that dancer and dance were a
part of the fancy OF the show, but as a
matter of fact it was real japanese
dervis, a real japanese dance. The young
man was Matumoto, a graduate student
at Brown from the university OF Toxic.

AN OFFICERS BRAVE DEED.

Officer Hopkins OF Station 4, rescued a
little five year old girl last night from
almost certain death at the risk OF
his life. The officer was pa
trolling his beat an Atwell's avenue when
the alarm from box 226 rang. Shortly
after the carriage of Deputy Chief
Hill of the fire department
came along the street. Suddenly little
girl, Mary Ellen Early, i've years
old darted out from the sidewalk
directly in front OF the rapidly approach
ing carriage. Deputy Hill attempted
to pull out TO one side but
the horse was going at such a pace as to
render it impossible, or TO stop, and it
seemed as II the little child was doomed.
Just then Officer Hopkins, who was
a witness of the affair, suddenly
dashed across the street and
grabbing the girl on the run
barely succeeded in escaping from under
the hoofs of the horse. AS IL
was, he was struck on the
side by one OF the wheels
and was badly bruised. The girl was
restored 10 her grateful parents and the
brave officer resumed his work as though
nothing had occurred.

LATEST
AGAINST THE RECEIVERS.
Judge Colt Decides There is no Dis
elimination by the Consolidated.
Bu the Assoclaled Press.

BosroN, April 20.-Judge Colt in the
United States Court today decided against
the New York a New England
receivers in the matter OF the petition 10
prevent alleged discrimination on the
part of the New York, New Haven q
Hartford railroad.
The petition was filed some time ago,
but shortly afterward the attorneys rep
resenting the New Haven Road hled a
motion TO dismiss the petition on the
ground that the court had no power 10
grant the relief prayed for in the suit.
Judge Colt in his opinion says;
"It is clearly within the power
OF the court TO control the
administration of the railroad in
the hands of its receivers, and
incidental 10 restrain by injunction any
act OF any person or corporation which
interiors with the possession or control
by the receivers of any property oil the
railroad.
"But these petitions are OF different
character, and they do not charge active or
constructive interference with property
now in the possession OF the receivers;
they do not relate TO the administration
OF the insolyent estate, but TO disputed
claim made on behalf of the estate.
81 do not think these proceedings come
within the jurisdiction invoked by the
present bill"
AZ shall therefore direct that the motion
TO dismiss the petitions be granted with
out prejudice to the receivers to bring a
new bill.o

common as n verb in the correspondence

BosToN, April 20-Joe Walcott the col
ored wonder of this city, defeated Tom
Tracy OF Australia last night after one OF
the cleanest battles ever seen in Boston.
No battle for years has attracted so
much attention in this city. Tracy stood
head over the colored man and looked
fine, and Walcott, who is a stocky built
chap, was in great shape, the muscles on
his arms standing out like whipcords.
The betting was 100 to 10 on Tracy, a
large delegation Of New York sports TAX
ing the long end.
The men lost no time in getting together
after the timekeepers gave the word.
Tracy was the first to let 60, landing
light left on Walcott's face.

two good ones on the face and neck

The next round found them fighting
just as hard as ever. The black boy was

Tracy's neck. The latter also found a
place for his blows, which went on Wal

The last round was short and sweet
Walcott forced the Australian into cor
ner and feinted with his left. Tracy put
up his guard. but it was too late; over
swung Walcott's left and down went
Tracy to the floor. He was up within the
prescribed 10 seconds. but went down
again, this time from right handed blow
on the jaw.
He was game. and staggered to his feet
once more, only to go TO the floor again,
this time for good. Slowly the 10 seconds
passed away, but Tracy was done for. and
amid the cheers Of the spectators the col.
ored boy was declared the winner OF the
battle and the $1,000 purse.
