Tlnguish himself, but he played well.
ne had TWO chances in the field, one on
line fly. 1t wasn't a hard catch. but
Just as that time reliable men on the
Worcesters were muffing worse than a
crowd of youngsters.
huhns Bransfield and Sharrott had
Deen dropping flies so that O'Connor
was voted all right, as he held the ball
just at that time. At another time
When there was a man on first a
ground ball came out to him, and the
man tried for third. O'Connor made a
quick throw, and had the man, but
kuhns let the ball get past
AT the bat he struck out the first two
tunes he was up. He was nervous, and
In addition Villman gave him low balls,
which he didn't want. They We're
strikes, but Doescher didn't have much
to spare in calling them. In the fifth
he was robbed of a pretty single by
Doescher. He hit it down third base
line like rifle shot. Doescher called
1t foul. Doescher was back of the
pitchers box when he should have been
at the plate.
If he was in his proper position,
OConnor would have a hit. He hit a
slow grounder in the seventh, which
he beat out, and got base on balls in
the same inning. He showed a good
eye, and he went after the ball well,
showing the earmarks of a good hitter.
Harrington's and Yeager's timely hit
ting We're noticeable features. With
two out in the first and three men on
bases, Harrington drove in two runs by
a nice one past short. In the second
Sharrott, Kuhns and Rickert filled the
bags by singles. Yeager sent them
home by a three Dagger.
Yeager started the fireworks in the
seventh by single past short. Brans-
field put corking double to right
centre. O'Connor got in his hit. Klobe-
danz got in another and so did Kuhns,
Bransfield and Harrington again made
hits. Yeager got a base on balls, and
so did O'Connor. Williams let a
grounder through him and muffed a
hot liner from Sharrott, and Villman
contributed wild pitch, which gave
Worcester eight runs. Klobedanz was
hit by the ball in the eighth. Sharrott
got a double, Kuhns a single and Rick
ert a triple.
Hits by Villman and Lush and
KuhnS' failure. to stop O'Connor's
throw gave the Stars a run in the fifth
Woodlocks base on balls and Field S
homer added two in the sixth. A single
by Fields and double by Williams We're
responsible for another in the eighth.

THE BURGo BENEFIT.
Several Fail to Turn Up, But the Crowd
Was Satisfied.

The testimonial to Walter Burgo in I. c.
B. Hall last evening was a disappointment
in some respects, but in others the crowd
was well repaid for attending. Several of
those who promised to take part failed to
put in an appearance, which gave Walter
an opportunity to make little speech,
during which he said he would fight Joe
Flaherty at any time.
Half a dozen lads participated in a shoe
Iacing contest. They took off their shoes,
which were placed in a large bag. The
bag was tossed ~1n the floor, and there was
a great scramble to get the right shoes.
Then they laced them. Raymond Fon-
tame won, with William Crowley second.
Patrick Cahill was first to stand up, but
he neglected to pull the strings through
the last hole. He was disqualified. He
was an easy winner, for he had minute
to spare on the next man.
The best event of the evening was
catch-as-catch-can wrestling match be-
tween Sammy Wright and John Thomas,
the latter an Armenian. Wright won the
first fall in less than a minute. lie got
leg hold. Thomas duplicated the feat,
throwing Wright by leg hold in less than
a minute The third bout was hotly con-
tested. Wright got a full Nelson hold,
which the referee, James ] Teller made
him break as il was barred. He retained
a half Nelson. however, and Thomas had
to give in He would not go over, but
feared Wright would break his arm. The
bout was about five minutes in duration.
Burgo and AL BelliVeau put on the gloves
for q four-round go 1t was friendly and
full of fun, but there was good sparring
at times. Burgo shows himself much
faster than he was in this city year ago.
Belliveau made a good showing against
him.
Paul Gaboury placed his hands behind
him on the floor, and, lifting his body, sus-
tanned a 150-pound stone, which George
Freeman hit half a dozen times with a r.
pound hammer. He broke the stone in
several pieces. Napoleon King lifted a
barrel of water with his teeth. He al
lowed four men to clench their hands in
his hair and swung them off their feet
while thew had the grip.

BREAKS AN ARM.
O'erien, With the Bristol Team, Out Of
the Game for the Present.

George O'Brien of this city, outielder
of the Bristol team of the Connecticut
State League, is out of the game by a
broken arm. He was hit by a pitched
ball. The management will not allow
him to come home, as it desires O'Brien
back in the game at the earliest oppor-
funity. He has knocked out over a dozen
home runs this season. Billy Lush, of
the Syracuse Stars, who managed the
Derby team of that league until two
DAYS ago. told The Spy man. yesterday
that O'Brien is one of the hardest hitters
he knows,
