Hold Their Annual Series of Games with Good
Results.

New York, June 10.-The ed series of
athletic games on track and field of the
New York Athletic Club were held this
afternoon at Travers island, and over 5000
persons witnessed the events. The one
mile run, handicap, was won by Alexan-
der Grant, scratch man, who defeated
good field, of which the runners were
Splitter and Smith of Yale Coming into
the home stretch Grant cut in on Smith,
and were 1t not for this the Yale men
would probably have finished first and
second. Smith Immediately entered a
protest against the winner, but before
the referee could pass upon 1t the, Yale
man withdrew his complaint and the
men were placed as named.
Afterwards the referee said that II
Smith had insisted upon his protest 1t
would have been allowed. There is no
doubt that the Yale man withdrew his
complaint so as not to cast blur on the
good name of the New York club, as no
protest has ever been made since the
games were instituted under the auspices
of that organization.

MOLINeUXs FIGHT.


New York, June 10.-George G. Bat
tie, of counsel for Roland b. Molineux,
charged with the death Of Mrs Kate
]. Adams, appeared before Justice Gil
dersleeve in supreme court chambers
today and obtained writs of prohibit
ton, habeas corpus and certioIari il
the case, citing Justice Jerome Of the
court of special sessions, and District
Attorney Gardiner to appear before
Justice Gildersleeve at 1890 o'clock
Monday morning to show cause why
Roland B. Molineux is detained In pris-
on. The writ of prohibition scts forth
that, inasmuch as the grand jury
could not review the case without an
order of the court of general sessions,
an inferior magistrate is without juils-
election. The writ of habeas corpus or
ders Warden Hagan to produce Mo-
lireux in court Monday, and the writ
of certiorari reviews the proceedings
before Magistrate jerome yesterday.
Roland b. Molineux was released on
$4,000 bail yesterday afternoon on the
assault case, but he was Immediately
arrested
The evidence before the May grand
jury which dismissed the complaint
against Molineux for murder of Mrs,
Adams was made public today. 1t
shows much of the evidence against
the young man was given by the hand
writing experts. William. j. Kinsley,
the first expert to testify. declared it
to be his belief that Molineux wrote
the Cornish and Barnet filters. He
was cross examined by Foreman
Church of the grand jury, but his tes-
timony was not shaken. lie said there
was no doubt in his mind that Moli-
neux wrote the letters. He thought he
had reduced the matter to a mathe-
NAUTICAL certainty.

TRANSvAAL CRISIS.
War Clouds Look Darker
and United States
May Mediate.

London June 10.-It is not improbable
that the crisis in the Transvaai will be
hastened today by some untoWard in
cident at Johannesburg. ~ b Robin
son, the South African millionaire and
mine owner, received a telegram today
from his agent at Johannesburg, saying
that the situation there is most serious.
The agent added that a mass meeting
of Uitlanders will be held today in
order to confirm and support the pro-
posals of the British high commission
er, Sir Alfred Miner. AS open ain
meetings are not allowed without per-
mission 1t is not improbable, if the nee
essary permission is not obtained, that
the police will endeavor to stop the
meeting.
The consensus of opinion among
prominent Uitlanders and South Afri-
can capitalists in London is that the
British government is in a tight fix,
that it cannot retreat from it's position
and that if President Kruger does not
recede war is inevitable. Regarding
the suggestion that the United States
be asked to mediate between the
Transvaal and Great Britain, Joseph
dor, says: while every good Ameri-
can would welcome the possibility of
helping a solution of the present situa-
ton, we have not been approached in
the matter and I, personally, know
nothing of the proposed mediation of
America"
An official of the foreign office, in
conversation with representative of
the Associated Press, says: I'VE have
not approached America, nor has Am
erica approached us in this matter. and
it is very unlikely that America will be
asked to do anything of the kind, much
as we value the good feeling existing
between the two countries"
A detachment of 200 royal engineers
sailed today for South Africa from
Southampton.
The Westminster Gazetteer this after
noon says a rumor is current from
well-known source that it has been
proposed in a responsible quarter that
the United States mediate between
Great Britain and the Transvaal. 1t is
added that the suggestion is being con-
sldered, and ut is even not improbable
that such mediation may be under
taken"

JEFFRIES ISSUES A CHALLENGE.

New York, June 1O.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons said today: My last opponent
was the hardest man 1 ever fought II
my life He can whip Sharkey in two
rounds. Everything seemed to go
against me in the encounter. They
got on to all the tricks I have figured
out and improved upon in the 10 years
of my fighting career, especially my
left shift. I tried several times, but
couldn't land decisive blow. Jeffries
drcked away every time. I tried to
chop, but he was too big and strong.
1 think Jeffries is today the best man
in the world.
HE is clever in spots and then awk-
ward, and that constitutes the hardest
kind of man to hit. / thought had
him twice, but he came in and held
on to me. 1 could feel his knees shak-
ing under him. After the breakaway
I hit him again. but could not Hnoek
him out. He was too strong.
"He didn't hurt me; l am bit sore
on the left hip, where he caught me
with a right swing. 1t was low blow
but unintentional. Jeffries is the 1alrest
fighter / ever met. don't know
whether I will ever fight again. am
almost glad I am beaten. | am sun
champion middleweight, but don
care anything about it. am family
man, have children growing up ana
am tired of the ring. l would rather
go back into the blacksmith business
again. l am satisfied with my hghtll'S
record and I hope the public is salts
fed that 1 have always done my pest

but will stay at Bath beach Tor the
rest of the summer and recuperate
Mrs. Fitz was downhearted over the
result She had faith in her husband
prowess that nothing could snake, anu
takes his defeat hard.
James ]. Jeffries left his apartments
in the Alexander Hotel at this morn
ing, and busted himself opening teie-
grams of congratulations on MS victory
He bore no sign of his 11-round argu-
ment to attract attention to him II ne
went out for walk.
He bore his laurels modestly enoug A.
and said: st leave here for Philadel-
phia at l o'clock, where I show tonight
It is not my wish - indulge in theat-
rical career. l vail defend the title. 1

enc. 1 will meet Fitz again if he de-
sires it, or kid Mccoy, If he is IN
earnest, but first and foremost L VIII
accommodate Sharkey. That is all l
can say at present.
Dan Hickey Fitz's trainer, said: JEFF
fries is extraordinarily big and strong,
and with an exemplary method Of life,
should retain the championship for 8
or 10 years. He has heart, and showed
his ability to take punishment in man
ner to satisfy the most exacting ring
follower"
Late in the afternoon Jeffries left for
Philadelphia where he gave a sparring
exhibition in the evening.

Nothing to Show
Where Miss Ward
we'll Is.
Mr.. ALDRICH WRITES A LETTER.
He Urges the Young Girl
to Return
Home.

Miss Sally Aldrich Wardwell, grand
daughter of the late Judge P. Emory
Aldrich, is still missing, and up to date
nothing had been found that would in
any way tend to locate her.
Her relatives are distracted over her
disappearance, and last night her I'M
Gle, Charles P. Aldrioh, wrote a letter
to her which is published in another
column, asking her to come home.
Her mother does not know what to
think of her, daughters action and
from a letter which was received ar
her home yesterday written by the pro-
prietor of Hotel Weirs, one of the lead
ing resorts on the shores Of lake Win
nepesaukee, in which he states that
there is a position waiting for her
there, it is supposed that she has de-
cided, after much deliberate consider
alton, to seek employment and earn
her own living.
AS soon as the letter was received,
communication was at once opened up
with the proprietor of the Weirs, but
he stated that she had not mace her
appearance at that place.
MIR. Aldrlcn Is ItSOItliS " SNeIy po7
sible move that might in any way tent
to locate his neice, and last night h
said that he did not believe she was
in Worcester or anywhere near the
city.
The police are doing everything in
their power to locate the 2rl. Yester-
day inspector Stone was informed
that a girl was wandering, aimlessly
up and down Foster street, and he
spent some time in finding out who
the person was, 1t proved to be wo-
man waiting for car. The tone Of the
letter written by Mr.. Aldrich to his
neice in the columns of The Spy plain
~ shows how her relatives and !rienHs
are suffering over her disappearance,
and her friends think that as soon as
she discovers this, she will return
home.

SIMPLY A WALK OVER.
Brookfeld Defeated
All Other Brookfields
Hands Down. -

North Brookfeld, June 10.-In
game devoid of features, the North
Broolkfield base ball team had no trouble
in defeating a picked aggregation from
the other Brookfelds on the Grove
street grounds this afternoon. For
three innings the game was good, but
after that, the local players piled up
runs without the least respect for the
feelings of the other fellows.
Doherty Of the Brookfield team was
hit hard, while Madden and Davidson
were the only ones to tally safe hits
off young Kelliher. The No. Brookfield
team showed some good material, which
might prove the nucleus of a good team
with the proper handling. Dillon of
the Brookfield team caught q good
game, and this, with the batting of
Davidson, was the best work of the
visitors. The score:
