FIGHT WILL GO ON SAYS BRADY

FIGHT WILL GO ON SAYS BRADY.
 Boston, Aug. 16.-William A. Brady, Corbett's manager, who is looking after one of his enterprises here, was very much surprised when shown the news from San Francisco that Corbett's father had killed his wife and himself
 When asked what effect the incident would have on the Corbett-McCoy fight, he said ''The fight will go on. The money is up and Corbett will be ready
 Of course this will have a bad effect on Jim for time, but he will be ready and fit when the gong sounds on the night of the fight. Corbett is six days away from his people, so it will do no good for him to leave off training to go home. There are several brothers and sisters there who can look after everything necessary Mir. Brady has wired Corbett that his purse and ser vices are at the latter's command and that Brady will leave for New York to- night if Corbett thinks 1t necessary.

Pugilist's Father Kills His Wife, Then
 Commits Suicide.
 San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 16.-R. J. Corbett, father of James J. Corbett, the heavyweight pugilist, this morning shot and killed his wife and then turned the weapon upon himself, with fatal effect It is believed that the murderer was demented. He had been in extremely poor health for some time. Death was instantaneous in both cases. The shoot ing occurred at the residence of the Corbett family, No. 520 Hayes street. Shortly before o'clock this morning, Mr. King, a son-in-law of MT. Corbett who was living in the house, heard two shots in his father-in-law's room.
 Hurrying to the room he was horri- fled to find Mrs. Corbett lying in the bed covered with blood, while his fa- ther-in-law lay on the floor with blood pouring from his mouth. Mrs. Corbett was in her night attire while her hus- band was fully dressed.
 There was a wound In Mrs. Corbett's temple, and Corbett had killed himself in. his mouth. From the appearance of the bodies it is believed that Corbett arose early in the morning, dressed himself and shot his aged wife while she slept. Corbett had just returned from Bartlett Springs, where he had been stopping for his health.

MAY POSTPONE FIGHT.

New York, Aug. 16-James J. Cor bett, who is in training at Asbury Park, N. J., was greatly shocked when he re- ceived a telegram from his brother, Harry, announcing the double tragedy in California. He at first refused to be- lieve it, but when the news seemed to be confirmed by press dispatches he broke down and wept like a child. His trainers, McVey. and White, tried to console him, but to no purpose. Cor bett said that if the news were true his father must have become insane to have committed such a terrible deed. He could not account for it in any other way. Both his father and mother took a deep interest in his affairs and keenly felt his defeat by Fitzsimmons at Carson City. They both wanted him to retire from the ring after that. Cor bett said until he had received definite information from California he could not say what his future plans would be- He will stop training for the pres ent and his fight with Mccoy at Buff falo on September 10 may be post poned. His manager, George Consa- dine, is on his way to Asbury Park from New York and he and Corbett will have conference this afternoon and decide on plans for the future.

State League.

New Haven lost to Waterbury yes- terday in a ten inning game. Although the New Haven team outbatted Water
 bury they were unsteady in the field and made errors at critical times. Vol lendorf allowed but seven hits, but in the sixth forced in a run by hitting Kiernan. Again in the tenth he threw wildly to first, permitting Connor to score from second. Parent is playing in his old time form and accepted eight chances without an error He batted well also, his two hits being as pretty bunts as are ever seen Pfen- ninger was the star batter of the game, securing four pretty singles out of five times up. The fifth was a line drive to center, which Derwin spoiled in a pretty catch. In the first Parent bunt- ed and stole second. Duffy walked and Pfenninger singled, Parent going home. Duffy was caught trying to steal third. Waterbury tied the score in the sec ond. Derwin drew a base on balls but was forced at second by Kiernan's grounder to Vollendorf. Manning hit a slow one along the first base line, but Luchia's throw beat him out. Kiernan sprinted to third and Clabby fumbled Wileys throw, the ball going over his head. Kiernan started for home, and Luchta dropped Parents low throw al- lowing him to score. In the first half of the sixth Waterbury took the lead. Connor received a base on balls but was forced at second on Denny's grounder. Hall sent a grounder to Pfenninger. He made an error and both men were safe. They made a double steal, Denny being on third with but one out. R. Cononr flied out to Clabby, Derwin was given a base on balls and Denny was forced in by Vol lendorf hitting Kiernan. In the last half with two out Pfenninger and Diet rich singled and the former scored on O'Brien's double.

NOTES.

-@h|'
 Several Meriden players were in the grand stand watching the game yester- day. They had no game scheduled
 Pfenninger at present is without doubt the best hitter in the league. Of the eleven games played since the first of August in only three has he missed securing hit. He has secured seven teen hits out of forty times at bat, his average being .370.
 The crowd did not seem at all pleased with the decisions of Malone, and many of them left the grounds convinced that he was a highly overrated umpire. AL though his decisions were questioned by both teams, he had the game well in hand and allowed no unnecessary kick ing.
 In the third inning Dietrich caught a fly from Joe Connor's bat, and in at tempting to throw quickly dropped the ball. Although the rules say that the ball need only be held "momentarily, Malone decided that Connor was safe The next moment Denny hit sharp liner to right and Connor, thinking that it was safe, started for second. Diet rich pulled it down quickly and caught him by twenty feet at first. The crowd not satisfied that Connor had reached first, enjoyed the double play immense ly and cheered accordingly.
 Smith, who has been playing first base for Meriden, left the team Monday ,;rr1,t ,ot, ,rtn6 r., l,ie ;,, Brooklyn. Courtney also asked for his release, but it was not given to him The best of feeling does not prevail among the players on the Meriden team.
