FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Mrs Mccoy Is Again Suing Her Hus-
 band for Divorce.

Saratoga, Aug 22.-Mrs Selby, hay- ing been twice married to and once di- yorced from the cratic ex-pugilist, Kid Mccoy, has decided that the times are ripe for history to repeat it. self. She seeks q second divorce. She has returned the services of Nash Redwood. and instructed him to bring suit for absolute divorce as soon as the law allows.
 Incidentally ,she will sue Mir Selby also for $25,OO0 damages for assault. This time, it is believed, unless some masterly step looking to q reconcilia- tion be taken at once, the breach be- tween them is an irreparable one.
 The alleged trouble took place about q week ago. Mrs Mccoy says that on August 13, while she and her husband were in Union avenue on their way to the races ill Saratoga, she was struck violently by him and thrown out Of their carriage. Next day they had a quarrel at Cedar Bluffs, the breeding farm and roadhouse of Mccoy, and the Kid struck her again. Since then there has been no reconciliation between them.
 Mrs Mccoy left for New York yes terday afternoon and probably will go to her home at 239 West Forty third street. Mi Mccoy, 1t is likely, will pass her on the road, as he is due in Saratoga on the midnight train.
 Mccoy opened his big roadhouse on the east shore of Saratoga lake when the season opened here.
 For q time MT and Mrs Mccoy were seen very often together in the village. They drove hither in their runabout and also in a handsome new automo- bile in which they took their friends about, and for time there was no cloud appeared on their horizon. It is said that Mccoy, in the exuberance of his affection, placed the house in his Wife's name, as he already had done with the city house. But after the first week of racing it was noticed that Mccoy was going alone to the race in his automobile, and visitors to the Me Coy farm allege that angry words were heard passing between them.
 Cottagers on fashionable Union ave- nue were alarmed on the afternoon of August 13 when they saw Mrs Mccoy tumbling out of runabout in which she and the Kid were going to the races. She refused to go with him fur ther and he went to the races, while she went to hotel i'll the village and passed the night there.
 Next day she drove to the lake to get her effects and she says that he hit her.
 Mrs Mccoy secured a divorce last winter, after certain emotional incl dents, which were loudly proclaimed in the penny press. Subsequently there was reconciliation
 He gave her house in West Forty third street and handsome piece Of jewelry, and they were remarried amid much spectacular rejoicing.

IS FRIDAY AN UNLUcY DAY?

This question has received the fol lowing replies in the Norfolk Beacon. which shows how little the Americans have to dread the fatal day:
 On Friday, August 21, 1492, Chris topher Columbus sailed on his great voyage of discovery. On Friday, Oc- tober 12, 1492, he first discovered land. On Friday, January 4, 1493, he sailed on his return to Spain, which if he lad not reached in safety the happy result would never be known which led to settlement of this vast continent. On Friday, March 15, 1493, he arrived at Palos in safety On Friday, November ?, 1493, he arrived at HispanOla, in his second voyage to America. On Friday, June 13, 1493, he, though un- known to himself, discovered the con tinent of America.
 On Friday, March 5, 1496, Henry VIII. of England gave to Ion Cabot his commission which led to the set clement of North America. This is the first American state paper in Engrand.
 On Friday, September ', 1565, Mel endez founded St Augustine, the old est town in the United States by more than forty years.
 On Friday, November 10, 1920, the May Flower. with the Pilgrims, made the harbor of Province Town and on the same day they signed that august compact, the forerunner of our pres ent constitution. On Friday, Decem- Der p, 1920, the Pilgrims made their final landing at Plymouth Rock. On Friday, February 9, 1732, George Washington, the father of American freedom,s was born. On Friday, June 16, Bunker Hill was seized and fortified
 On Friday, October [ TIT, the sur render of Saratoga was made, which had such power and influence i'll in- ducing France to declare for our cause.
 On Friday, September %, 178O, the treason of Arnold was laid, which saved us from destruction.
 On Friday. October 19, 1781, the sur render at Yorktown, the crowning glory of the American arms, occurred.
 On Friday, July '. 1776, the motion in congress was made by John Adams and seconded by Richard Henry Lee. that the American colonies were, and of right ought to be, free and indepen- dent
 Thus, by numerous examples, we see that however it may be with foreign nations, Americans need never dread to begin on Friday any undertaking, however momentous it may be.
 Tn pamphlet entitled s'Day Fatal fty.' printed in 1870, several evidences of days lucky and unlucly are brought together. On the 9th of April Alexander was born; upon the same day he conquered Darius, won a vic tory at sea, and died the same day. Neither was this day less fortunate to his father Philip, for on that day he took Potidea; Pamenio, his general, gave q great overthrow to the H. lyrians, and his horse was victor at the Olympic games.
 Upon the 3Oth of September Ponp the Great was born; upon that day he triumphed for the Asian conquest, and on that day he died. ",

The young twirier from TofringtOn pitched n-excellent game up to that inning. allowing the New Ravens but three hits Steve Asne and Charley Clancy were the umpires, as the regular umpire did not put in an appearance Ashe was umpiring balls and strikes in that eighth inning and he evidently made up his mind it was time for New Haven to get few runs His calling of balls that were good strikes lost the nerve of Quinn and the result was our defeat Quinn was wild all through the game and gave eight bases on balls In the eighth he gave two bases on balls and was hit for three singles, which netted New Haven four runs. Deering also pitched good ball for New Haven and allowed Waterbury but four hits. A two bagger by Quinn in the ninth In- ming and an error by Bone gave us our only run of the game.

FLANAGAN WILL GET RECORD.

The report sent out on Tuesday that tho discus used by John Flanagan, when he broke the worlds record at Celtic park last Saturday, was four ounces light, was incorrect. The weight was not officially tested until yesterday, when H. E. Buermeyer, of the firm of William Avis & Go, took charge of it and had 1t weighed by United States weighers. Mir Buer- meyer presented certificate to James E. Sullivan, secretary of the A. A. U., that the discus weighs exactly AZ pounds. Mir Sullivan said that as ev- erything else in connection with the throw was regular, Flanagan would undoubtedly receive credit for the rec ord of 118 feet 93A inches.

This is from the Yale Record:
 heater article of the national had never been put up on the home grounds, and when the visitors picked up the stick in the final with the tally standing ? to 2, everybody from the oldest fan to the younger paper seller was standing on his seat and yelling to the local slab artist to serve up his choicest assortment of round-h house benders, and keep whatever guy was handling the ash pivoting at delusions. The tWirler was up to business and laid lem over so fast that the receiving end of the battery, who wears 8 bird cage and liver pad, looked as if lie were shelling peas. The first two yic- tins only tore rents i'll the atmos- phere, but the third guy connected and laid off a flaming grasSer which would have made projectile from q thirteen inch gun look like bean bag tossed from one baby to another The man on the difficult corner was right there, though, and Jagged the horse-hide pill with his sinister talon, assisting it over to the initial hassock in such short oredr that some one yelled derisiyely, ssThat fellow runs like an Orange street automobubble." The home ag- gregation came to the bat. Every one was cOnuQonI that they were gong 10 pound the sphere around the lot. but the opposing team ran In a new guy with a slow south wing, and before they were onto the fact that they were not putting the willow onto the yarn as they had expected there were two men down and two strikes on the next guy. But, oh, Phoebe! on the next~de- livery he became the father of a bouncing swat which landed in the last row of potatoes in the outer garden and enabled him to press down three buttons and scratch the rubber. ssDid the crowd go wild?

 The Waterbury Boy Wants Another
 Try at the Brockton Wrestler.
 John E. Kelly wants to decide who is the best man between himself and John J. Little of Brockton, and to that end he issues a challenge to him to meet him on the mat in this city at any time suitable to the Brockton man. Both men have met twice and each has won fall. Kelly has agreed to Little's weight on each occasion, but the Waterbury lad wants Little to come to his weight now. He will wrestle Little for a side bet of $50. the winner to take everything, each man to weigh 138 pounds at the ring side Here is q chance to decide who is the best man of that weight in New Enlgand.
 Jenkins and Lundin are to meet in Worcester Friday night With the go on the level Lundin hasn't a ghost of a show to win.
 Tom Sharkey pulls out Little's chal- 1enge every morning, reads it over, ponders awhile and then puts it back into g pigeon hole. He wants none of Parker's medicine which Little is thoroughly able to administer for short time. Little is not over-confident he could beat Sharkey, but believes thoroughly that Sharkey could not throw him.
 Some followers of the sport believe Jenkins could throw Lundin, Samuel son. Parker and Little in succession and without rest, to say nothing of beating Lundin alone.
 Tom Jenkins, the western claimant of championship honors in the heavy weight class, has been challenged by four different aspirants for honors or money. Ernest Roeber, the old time wrestler, whom Jenkins easily defeat ed when they last met, wants to wres- tie Jenkins for wager of $2,50O or any part of that sum at Graeco- Roman style. This is ;Roeber's best game

 Much Better Attendance
 There was a much better attendance at the races. yesterday although the weather was still unfavorable. The track was not much lighter and the horses pounded through the heavy top dressing, but made pretty fast time in each of the heats.
 There were two races run off yester- day and the 2:21 trot for a purse of $500 was the most interesting. Gen eral Johnson, a black gelding, owned and driven by William l.. James, was the winner of this race. Governor Page, a Waterbury horse, was the fa- vorite in the betting before the race but was forced to take second money. The third money went to Lunda, who took two thirds and the second place from Governor Page in the last heat. The summary:

Quinn will make a good pitcher after he is able to hold himself to- gether.
 Roger Connor was factor in yester- lays game. having two singles and two bases on balls in his four times at bat.
 0'Brien tried a little more of his dirty work in one inning yesterday, when he blocked Matthews from throwing to second. Of course Steve Ashe did not see it.
 Leon yiau. once with Worcester and now in the New York State league. threw his am out while pitching for Troy recently, and will be out of the game for the remainder of the season and possibly permanently.
 What's the scorer were the first words of William Schafstall, on recov- ering consciousness at the Woman's Homeopathic hospital Saturday after noon. Schafsta1I had been overcome by the heat while witnessing the ball game at the Philadelphia base ball park.
 The Philadelphias lead the league on errorIess games. Up to yesterday the record was: Philadelphia 24. Boston 2O, St Louis 14, Brooklyn II. Pittsburg lu Chicago 10. Cincinnati 3. New York $. The Philadelphias and Bostons are the
 only two this season to play two error
 less games on the same day.
 Bone and Courtney almost had a
 run in during the game, and Bone was so provoked over the quarrel that he
 had to get call from Manager Cana
 van. Courtney accidentally spiked him at second base and Bone wanted to fight right off. George was willing.
 but Canavan stopped the argument. f Shortly after, when Courtney made a | two base hit, he seized Bone around
 the waist and tried to impress kiss of apology on Bone's classic ea+ures.
 Bone objected and slapped Courtney l in the face. and then the trouble began all over again. There were no serious | results.
 It Is strange that the knockers who | did not like Roger Csnnor, and who | have seen him quit Waterbury, are not \ satisfied; but they do not seem to be, | for at every opportunity they take I special delight In insulting him. Yes | terday was no exception, and some day one or two of those chaps will run up | against the big fellow. and then there will be something doing. Yesterday one of Rogers many friends. and he still has a great many, objected to the actions of one or two of those knock CTS, and he objected so strongly that 1 he punished a couple of them after .he game was over. Manager Harrington should object to this continued abuse 1 of one of the best ball players that ever graced a Waterbury uniform.
