"RUBE" SHIELDS IN TOWN.

A Character We'll Known Throughout
 the Country-Traveled With Henry
 F. Dixey and Hi Henry Companies
 A Veritable "Hayseed."
 The one unique character of the bicy- cle world is "Rube' Shields, and he was in this city yesterday. A few years ago he was an actor with natural adapta- bility for taking what might be termed "hayseed" parts. Being a devotee of the wheel. he conceived the idea of making up as country jay and going forth with a bicycle to challenge fame and fortune as a specialist, and it has proved a winning card. Since that time he has travelled the country over, appearing in theaters, on the streets, at fairs and all sorts of gatherings at tired in his rth-provoking outfit, usually under engagements to adver- tise some make of wheel. His inno- cent, unsophisticated manners, his evil dent greenness, his extremely clever makup, his country drawl and general away from home" conduct are calcu- lated to deceive the oldest inhabitant. Time and time again he has been ar rested as being slightly demented and needing the care of the authorities. At one time he was arrested on a fair grounds in Massachusetts, at the in- stance of the president of the fair asso- citation that had employed him as a special feature, as the old gentleman was willing to gamble that he was crazy and might at any moment be- come dangerous.
 He is more than mere impersonator, and is a trick rider of no mean abilities.

The Cohans, frolic- some, witty and genuinely funny with capital comedy in Running for Off, flee" which is new this season, and in it the specialties of George and Miss Josie Conan are the hit of the bill. The biograph has an interesting series showing moving pictures of the Viz- caya before and after destruction; the Indiana going at full speed; a lively skirmish at Santiago; raising the flag at Manila; several crack regiments and Bought Riders, and a. number of humorous sets.
 The olio is a superb one with the Casino Comedy Four as a genuine screaming hit; Frank Whitman, the Washburn Sisters, and Jack Crawford are also coming in for great favor. The bill has also Forester and Floyd, the Grahams, timely topic views and others.

LARGE NUMBER OF ENTRIES
Bald in Buffalo, But Will Be Here Next Tuesday.

For the One Mile Tandem Handicap
 Bald in Buffalo, But Will Be Here
 Next Tuesday.
 Secretary Peckham yesterday receiv- ed seven entries from this city for the one mile tandem handicap event at Elm City Park. He also received entries for the same event from Hartford, Bridge port Meriden, Waterbury and other towns in the state. This seems to be the principal event in the amateur class and none but the best men will win. There seems to be great rivalry among the riders in the state to see which is the best tandem team. Collett and Hausman seemed to have had their own way up to month ago, but since then other riders have come forward for the honor, notable among which are Rutz and Wheeler. who have since beaten Collett and Hausman's time made at the l.. A. w. meet in Indianapolis. Last week Rutz and Wheeler defeated Collett and Hausman in the five mile tandem pursuit race at Putnam, and since then have won the tandem team pursuit race in Springfield. They are
  not say that they will win the one mile tandem handicap next Tuesday. There are other equally good riders entered for this and other events.
 Eddie Bald is now in Buffalo recover ing from his injuries received in a bi- cycle accident. He has his eye on the first prize in the one mile open. profess sional, which is s150 cash. After his recovery he ought to be in better trim than he ever was, having had the hene- fit of quite a rest But the other Pros" are equally anxious to secure it and it will be a stiff race.
 Mcfarland seems to be keeping dark, but next Tuesday he will be on hand to try for first place in the professional events.
 Tom Cooper and Gardiner will be here Tuesday. Each wants first place in the professional events, but they will not have such an easy time of it as they had at Springfield Monday.
 The Waterbury Wheel club will send a big delegation to the races here Tues day and quite a number of their riders are entered for the amateur events. Waterbury has always been a sporting town and the interest shown by every body in the various sports is some- thing worth mentioning.
 When the Park City" people see 'Rube" Shields to-day there will be no need of having wet eyes, only from in- cessant laughter. His partner, George Phillips, will accompany him.
 Major Taylor is in New York training at the Manhattan Reach track for his match with Jimmie Michaels at twenty miles, on Saturday.
 w. F. Becker of Minneapolis was not in it in the five-mile pursuit race at Charles River Park Boston, Monday. McDuffie caught him at the end of two and half miles.

tempted to sacrifice and then stole sec- ond, but for all that he gets no credit because of lack of a third out in the sixth.
 Sullivan played a. beautiful game at third, but received little appreciation from the crowd. With man on first in each of the third and fifth innings Parent and Vollendorf respectively, in attempting to bunt, knocked pop-up to the pitcher, who easily completed a double in each case. New Haven SCOT ed in the first Parent was safe in Rogers error. Duffy advanced him by a sacrifice and was safe on Shugrue's error. Parent went to third on the error and scored on Wiley's sacrifice. Duffy scored on a passed ball. In the fifth Kennedy was given a base on balls and forced at second. Best drew a base on balls and Fitzpatrick singled scoring Delaney. Dorsey forced F'itz- gerald at second, and Rogers drew a base on balls, filling the bases. The rain storm was coming up fast and It was a close race whether New Haven would win or whether the umpire would call it mo game" If Shugrue should be put out it would be New Havens game, with five and half innings played. If Delaney scored one or more runs it would be no game as a half inning of play would be due New Haven. After two strikes Shugrue hit sharp liner to O'Brien, who was scarcely to be seen from the grand stand because of the whirling dust, and the falling rain. He made pretty catch completing the required length of game. After a wait of a. few min utes play was resumed and continued without scoring until the last half Of the sixth. Then New Haven made eight runs by means of three bases on balls, five hits, a half dozen stolen bases and four errors. With one out still to be made. McGarr called the game and the score stands as it was at the end of the fifth, to 1. In the sixth Crawford replaced Best, and Morris took Dorsey's place in center. The latter was afraid of catching cold.

These tricks he delights to perform on the streets In the presence of large crowds and invariably gather around him wherever he appears. He can as- semble a crowd as quick as a dog fight and holds them as long as he cares to. He Is also a man of nerve. He has performed some of the most daring feats ever attempted on a wheel. His first exploit that brought him extensive mention through the press was riding out of a second story window and down a ladder to the ground several years ago, at Cincinnati. Since that he rode down the steps of the west approach to the capitol at Washington, consisting of over hundred steps, without mishap. But he has not always come off whole in performing his hair raising special ties, as a twice broken collar bone and sundry other marks attest. He is not a stranger in this city, having appeared here with the Hi Henry company and with the Henry F. Dixey company dur ing last winter. He rides the Olive wheel, made at Syracuse, N. Y.
 "Rube" and his partner, George Phil lips, alias willie and Cousin Will" who follow the national circuit riders, will give an exhibition before the new club rooms of the New Haven Cycling club next Monday night, the night be- fore the races at Elm City Park. To-day they go to Bridgeport to adver- tise the race and give exhibitions in the principal streets. Tomorrow they will go to Ansonia, Derby and Shelton, and Saturday they will go to Meriden. Everybody should keep their eyes open and not miss them, but then they couldn't be missed even in tornado. While "Rube" is performing he might be taken for three things; lunatic, a theological student or an ordinary cornfield crow. A few minutes after he is though he looks like gentleman, and so far as has been learned is one.

MIR. BOOTHS PLANS.

One of the busiest places in the town this week is the office of c. A. Booth of the Preparatory and Commercial h. stitute, S68 Chapel street. From pres- ent indications it would seem that ev- cry seat in the institute will be taken this season. When questioned by our representative, MT. Booth stated that next season he expects to build a mod
 ern structure, capable of seating one hundred and fifty pupils. The building will be as centrally located as possible, and will prepare boys and girls in all branches of work for the high school, and for all departments of the univer- sity. Mir Booths success during the past year was phenomenal, and he has received congratulations from the par ents of all his pupils. His very suc- cessful results are attributed to indi- vidual instruction and the completeness of his methods.

The score of the game between Dan- bury and New Haven yesterday tells
 only the smallest part of the game.
 The most interesting feature cannot
 be included in the score. In the first inning New Haven scored two runs
 without a hit, and in the fourth secur- ed two hits without a run. Vollendorf was unusually wild and gave eight bases on balls, only six of which are scored, because of the game being call ed In the last half of the sixth with two men out If he had not had the best of support he would have lost the game even though Danbury could not hit him. After he had struck out one man and given two bases on balls Ashe took his place. and quickly retir- ed the side In the last half he at-

MIKE MURPHY'S WAYS.
Alvin Kraenzlein Tells Some Facts
 About Pennsy's Trainer.

Alvin Kraenzlein Tells Some Facts
 About Pennsy's Trainer.
 "Can you tell me how Mike Murphy
 eXcels as a trainer?' asked Dad" Moulton of Alvin Kraezlein, as he
 came across his old pupil on the street
 here the other day. T have heard
 much of Murphy and watched him at
 work, but I have not been able to dis
 cover the secret of his success When 1 was east with the team last year we
 watched Mike for two weeks. He nev-
 CT took off his coat and would stand
 around and watch the men at work
 without offering any suggestions. Sud-
 denly he would say to one of them, That's enough for you and another You'll have to do a little more' Tell me where it comes in.''
 There Is only one Mike Murphy" answered the famous hurdler, who is
 now working under the man who looks after the athletic department of Penn sylvania, and Mike is so far above the
 others that he is out of reach. He has a system all his own, and that it is a good one is shown by his success It is true that he does not work with the men on the track, but he has his eye
 on them just the same, and after the rub he comes to a man and says,
 You're doing good, old man. and then
 proceeds to point where he is little off. He shortened my stride in the | hurdles, and made a winner out of
 me. That is the way he does with the other fellows. He seems to intuitively l feel the shortcomings of each athlete and to have a remedy close at hand. But he is the best diciplinarian I ever came across. He will not stand any monkey work, and if man does not do as he is told that man loses his place on the team. One day Mike ran l across Tewkesbury smoking a cigar cite. That was the end of Tewkesbury, ! for Mike immediately told him that he | wasn't needed. That's the way he runs things, and his strict ways have done 1 more for the athletes under his charge than anything else. He favors the

 "When Murphy first started in train ing he could not read or write. He buckled down to work at Yale and made a name for himself. In the meantime he had studied, and when he switched to Pennsylvania he com manded a. salary of $S,OOO a year, and is now studying medicine, having had a $500 course thrown in. He is making fine progress and in a short while will be a sure enough doctor. That's not bad for a man who started at the bot tom of the ladder, eh?"-Chicago Daily News.
