hall, July 2. Little is one of the best scienced men in the country and New England champion at his weight. HIS style is catch-as-can, but he is also a clever Graeco- Roman wrestler. sam uelson's friends think Little can work with him for season and develop Samuelson into one of the best Greaco- Roman wrestlers of the country.- Worcester Telegram.
 Hjalmar Lundin, who will Wrestle Tom Sharkey, pugilist, at Worcester coliseum, about July 10, left Worcester last night for New York. He will take his partner, Johnson, all-round heavy weight litter, to Canada for an exhibition of feats of strength, and on July 1 Lundin will wrestle an un-l known in Cornwall, Canada. j Alexan-i CT Samuelson, who recently went to Worcester, will probably wrestle on the same night with Alfred Anderson of Hartford, whom he defeated in Err Mathew hall a few weeks ago. An. derson has been anxious for a return match and will probably get it. The contest between Lundin and Sharkey will be at catch-as- -catch-can, and that between Samuelson and Ander- son at Graeco-R Roman. Tom Wilmot and Harry Sharkey of Oakdale will probably wrestle the same night They are matched and ready to go on if q purse if offered.

DUANE LOST ON A FOUL.

Trenton. N. J., June 26.-Danny Duane of New York 1ost.to Kid Thom- as of New York in the ninth round of what was to have been a twenty round fight, on foul, at the Trenton Athletic club last night. The fight was brought to its abrupt ending after the first minute of the Il Ath round had been called. Duane had received final warning from Referee Crowhurst i'll the fifth round for hitting in the clinches, but he apparently dld nor heed the warning, as he deliberately hit Thomas twice after being told to break. The bout was immediately stopped and the fight awarded to Thomas. The crowd became very un- ruly and nearly caused riot, but the cooler ones soon pacified them and ey- ervthing ended without trouble. Du- ane had the better of the fight when the foul was committed. although neither man was tired in the least.

Five two saekers and two triples tell the tale as good as anything else.
 Luke Dorsey was evidently in the sulks yesterday for his attempt to go after flies in the center garden, made the fans wonder if Luke had been out the night before.
 Weisbecker had to get in couple of errors yesterday, and both balls were dropped in the same spot. They were long runs and perhaps were a little excusable.
 Kid Mccormick got in a couple of two sackers that made the fielders of the Norwich team hustle after. That Kid is making all the wiseacres, who predicted his downfall. look more wise as the season advances.
 Lusky's record yesterday is one to be proud of. Four times at bat and he rolled out two singles and double. He had six chances behind the bat and took them all and but one man stole a base on him. That is pretty good work.
 Dan Murphy is a peach and no mis- take. Eleven chances yesterday and he accepted ten of them. He failed

 that was carried when the vessel was in the slave trade, and was cruising about the West Indies as a pirate. With fair wind the Vigilant makes the 4o-mile trip in little more than three hours, and it can stand any sort of weather.
 PC .Pentheny, of St. Croix, owns the vessel and leases it for mail-carrying He is proud of the fact that no schoon- CT has ever beaten his boat. He got it from his father, who, in turn, bought it from an old native, whose father had used it with an English master in the slave trade.
 The slaves were carried in the hold where the mail is thrown now. The vessel is 150 years old, and has had it's back broken twice. This ceremony oc- CUTS every time ship is condemned a pirate or slayer. The last sentence of the Vigilant was passed in 1923. The vessel was run ashore, where it's keel was split in two. It was repaired and put in service again, and is now as good as ever.

o,BRIEN WHIPS NEUMEIER.

Newcastle, June 25.-Jaek OBrien, the Philadelphia middleweight, who re gently won the English heavyweight by defeating George Chrisp, scored an- other victory last night. His opponent was Harry Neumeier, and the English man was knocked out in the sixth round Neumeier made, a courageous fight from the start, but he was com pletely out -classed and never had a chance. This is race week at New castle and a great crowd was in at tendance. The stakes faDdt purses amounted to sS15. Neumeier was in New York several years ago, but was nothing more than second rate mid dleweight.

WITH THE WRESTLERS.
Some Talk With the Chaps Who Work
 on the Mat.

on the Mat.
 It took Harvey Parker but three minutes to flop Joe Youngs on his back at the Court street theater in Bffalo Friday night. Joe is handy boy with the mits, but the mat is q different and strange thing to him.
 Al Weinig and Tom Davies, after talking themselves nearly into hys- terics, have agreed upon the terms of a match. Davies is to throw Weinig \ three times in an hour, strangle hold barred.
 Dan Mcleod is In Buffalo, and this time he declares he has dug up a 150 pound man who. is willing to wrestle Harvey Parker for a side bet of any thing from $500 to $2,50O.
 Charley Wittmer, the heavyweight wrestler of Cincinnatti, is very sore over the failure of Tom Jenkins to ac- cept his challenge. Tn an interview he said that he has had his money up for the past two weeks and that as the champion paid no attention to it he felt that Jenkins was afraid of him. Unless Jenkins agrees to meet me 1 shall claim the championship and be ready to defend it against the world, he said.
 Samuelson may take up his resi- dence in Brockton shortly. Friends in Worcester have advised him to re- move to that city in order that he may place himself under the instruc- don of John J. Little of Brockton, who iH matched to throw Joe Gravel three times in an hour in Father Mathew

 Sullivan. with his brother, Mike, has been here since Monday and is training at the Brooklyn Athletic club.

A rhermome,er Eight Mile. Up.


 The exploration of the air by means of balloons carrying self-registering instruments is pursued with much vigor in Europe. On February z there were simultaneous ascents from many points, extending from France to Austria and Russia. One un- manned balloon near Paris reached an elevation of 41,656 feet, not much short of eight miles. The tempera- ture of the air at that height, as shown by self-registering thermom~ eter, was CT degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. Another balloon near Berl;e found the same temperature at an elevation 10000 feet less. These experiments are expected to throw much light on the laws of storms and of atmospheric. circulation.

Har- wards support was magnificent, not an error being arrayed against the Crim- son players. Yale, on the contrary, played a poor game comparatively. O'Rourke making two errors and Barn well and Wadell each one.
 Yale could not connect with the pug zling curves of young Clarkson. He had Yale's heaviest batters completely at his mercy and kept absolute com- mand of the field. Only once did Yale get man past second base.

Bridgeport, June Bridgeport lost to New Haven yesterday by the score of 6 to in very disappointing game. The home team played a grand game in all but one inning. With two men out and man in first, A'Haesy made wretched mess of an easy grounder and the chance was lost to retire the side. Then with the bases full Bill Yale muffed an easy one from Delaney and a run was scored.

BEAD CHAINS.
A Fashion in Vogue in, London Now Ex-
pected to Attack New York.

A Fashion in Vogue in London Now Ex-
pected to Attack New York.
The bead chain has not yet reached
in New York the same vogue that it
has enjoyed for the dast six months in
London, but the craze seems likely to
be seen here before next winter. AL
ready there are few girls who have not
chains to match particular costumes,
and the summer piazza leisure has
given decided impetus to the fad.
AS it is, the beads have been inn
ported by the dealers in nearly every
conceivable shade. They come in
warm tints of terra Gotta, and they
are bright yellows as we'll as the more
usual tints 1t must be a strange shade
that cannot be found in these beads.
The chain should usually fall in
front nearly to the knee, and the ends
are finished always with some elab-
crate tassel or other ornamentation.
The Japanese and other Oriental stores
have imported painted and fancy beads
in varied colors and designs, and the
strand is punctuated with these at
different points. They come now in
solid colors and also in dull colored
carved woods that alternate effectively
with the colors of the beads that make
up most of the chain. The chains are
used rarely to support lorgnon or
locket and are generally intended only
for ornament They are rarely strong
enough to hold anything heavier than
tie tassels at the end of the chain.
They are not likely to remain a
fashion permanently, as they are sim
pie enough to be made without diff
Guilty, and the materials are cheap.
The only thing needed to make them
well is a certain neatness in stringing
the beads. A pretty combination seen
/ the other day was of rather vivid blue
! beads ornamented at five points in the
string by bright yellow beads little
larger than the others. These yellow
! beads were strung on each side Of a
long oval black bead on which were
painted flowers in a Dresden pattern.
Dark brown beads made up with a
bright carnine are very ornamental to
G dark brown dress.
The chains are always to be limited
to house wear, and only the informally
of country life excuses them in the
open air. Most of the department
stores sell them now, and in addition
to the pretty colors to be found among
these exhibits there is always the
! pleasure Of searching in the Japanese
and other curio stores for strange
Oriental beads.-NeW York Sun.
