AT NEW LONDON.

New London, Aug. 12.-The Colts and the Meriden team played a double bill this afternoon and the teams broke even. The first game was chiefly a pitchers contest, Crate and Howell be- ing pitted against each other. Though the hits were even, Crate had the bet ter of it and his work was even more remarkable in the second game, which he also pitched. Puhl at third was in a great measure responsible for Meri- dens victory in the first game, though the Colts threw away chances of SCOT ing by poor base running. After the first inning the five hundred fans" were treated to a good exhibition of ball playing.
 In the second game New London bat ted Magee all over the lot, whereas Crate was touched up for only four well scattered hits. Meriden succeeded in landing man at third in the first in- ming, but that was the only time in the game that a Meriden man got beyond the second bag. The scores:

State League.


 The New Haven team added another shut out victory to it's credit yesterday by defeating Danbury to 0. The Blues played a fine game all through, their fielding being the best seen this season on the home grounds. Their one error was made by Clabby in the ninth inning when he made a poor throw of slow bunt along the base line. It did not effect the score as he caught the man, Fitzpatrick, in attempting to steal third. Not a. man for Danbury reached third base. Vollendorfs work in the box was of a high order Three hits was the total made off of him, and the one of Morris was a scratch landing three feet in front of the plate.
 The New Haven boys batted in their old time form. They landed on Best, one of the strongest pitchers in the league, whenever they pleased. Their hits were punched and came when there were men on bases. Parent, Pfen- ninger, Luchia and Vollendorf did the hitting. In the first inning Parent hit a short one to the infield. Cain let the throw go through his hands, Parent going to third. He scored on Morris huff of Duffy's fly. In the second, af- ter Deitrich had gone out Clabby, Lu- chia and Vollendorf singled in quick succession, scoring Clabby. Again in the third, bases on balls put Duffy and Pfenninger on bases. They both ad- vanced base on Phelps tumble of Wi ley's strike out and Duffy scored on O'Briens long fly to center, which Dor sey caught after a long run. In the seventh Parent and Duffy singled and advanced on Gains error. Parent was called out at home of Morris return of Pfenningers single, and Duffy scored on Wileys fly to center. In the eighth Dietrich received first on hit by the pitcher Luchia knocked out a single but was caught at second on Voilen- doris grounder to Fitzpatrick, Diet rich going to third. He scored on Parents single. The score:

Mrs. Crabbe of Norwalk Has Nine
 Rules-Dr. Davenport's Presenta-
 ton.
 Norwall, Aug. 12.-Mrs. Phoebe Crabbe joyously celebrated the one hundred and first anniversary of her birth yesterday. The old lady finished the first year of her second century with sound mind and healthy body. Indeed, she said quite seriously yester- day that she intends to learn to ride a bicycle.
 Mrs. Crabbe can read without using spectacles. She is fond of talking and talks we'll, having none of the gar rulity of extreme old age. A World correspondent suggested to her yester- day that some good advice from her might help to prolong the life of her countrywomen.
 There are nine reasons why I have lived to be 101 years old" she said.
 q come of a long-lived family, the Weeds. I am one of seven children, and all of us except one lived to be 90 years old.
 T have never taken strong drink, except, perhaps, a sip of hot today on a cold night. Strong drink shortens life I have abstained from it, so that I would not set a bad example to my boy, Cy, here"
 Her boy Cy is Captain Cyrus F. Crabhe, bronzed and weather beaten sailor-man, seventy years old, whose home is in New York city.
 T have never used tobacco or snuff" the old lady continued.
 T have always eaten sparingly. Peo- pie eat so much nowadays that they die shamefully young.
 T have always been fond of fresh air and exercise.
 Tt hasn't made me very wealthy or wise, but I have always been early to rise. Why. when Cy's father was a young spark, counting me, my mother so as I could go to bed. This late courting is killing to young people.
 T have never had any serious dis ease. The way my mother trained me made me healthy, and I've done my best to keep healthy.
 i've never worried much about any, thing. Worry makes yo look at trouble through a magnifying glass. Take things as they come.
 I've read my Bible regularly. So, I'm ready to go when the good Lord calls me, and" she added, smiling, "I'll be glad to tarry as long as he wants"
 Mrs. Crabbe has outlived most of her relatives, of whom only seven were present to celebrate with her to-day. But her neighbors flocked to her pie turesque house on Merwin street. The Rev. Samuel ScovilI, pastor of Stam- ford Congregational church; the Rev. Dr. J. G. Davenport of Waterbury, and Dr. L. R. Hurlburt, on behalf of her friends, presented a handsome silver loving cup to Mrs Crabbe. A friend sent bottle of rare old wine to bap- tize the cup, and the happy old lady moistened her lips with the wine.
 Dr. Hur1burt, her physician, was the spokesman and warmly congratulated her on reaching an age so ripe.
 And just to think doctor, how long you have attenedd me-" she jol1ingly retorted.
