 President Johnson of the American league was pfesent and 7. tossed the first ball upon the diamond.

 Defeats Patsy Broderick-A Good
 Draw in Denver Sharkey Up
 Against It. sss
 Without doubt, the most important pugilistic event ever scheduled for Waterbury, is the one just announced by Manager Moe Harris of the Nation al Athletic club for Thursday, May 9. MT. Harris, through his New York representative, Charles J. Harvey, has secured George McFndden and Patsey Sweeney to box twenty rounds at the Auditorium here, at 133 pounds.
 The winner of this battle will be in readiness to defend the lightweight championship ,as Frank Erne, the technical holder of the championship, who was defeated by Terry McGovern in three rounds, refuses to box McFad- den and has told him he could have. the championship. McFadden and Sweeney met at the New York Journal office yesterday and posted $25O each, all of which goes for forfeit for weight
 The match was q most difficult one to bring about, as McFadden is anx- ious to go to California after Erne, and only the diplomacy of Charley Harvey secured the event for the National Ath- letic club. The match is of so import. ant nature, that it will attract at-. tention throughout the pugilistic world and in New England especially, on ac- count of the fine showing made by the pair at Boston not long ago. Charley Harvey says he counts himself a lucky individual to make the match.
 AS preliminary Manager Harris will introduce Hugheys Murphy against Austin Rice or Hughey NIcPadden, ten rounds at 11S pounds. Followers of the mit-mixers know what this means. For third bout, Percy Mcintyre will box Walter Burgo or amy Duane, ten rounds at 13S pounds.
 The splendid reputation made by the National Athletic club with the Wal colt -AlcKeever show should act as q powerful influence in making the com ing show great success. The ex- hfbition will be held at the Auditorium Thursday, May g..

sHARKEY UP AGAINST IT.


 When Sailor Thomas Sharkey was re- quested to pack his fighting costume and go to Denver for a bout with Fred Russell, the able seaman was overjoy- ed and secured cut rate ticket with out delay. On the way to Colorado he pictured himself in the pleasing act of clouting some large, sbeefy novice about the ring for a few minutes and then pocketing large bundles of good money. The Russell in question has never filed very prominent niche in the gallery of pugilistic. heroes, and Shar- key is not, to be blamed if he enter tained hay ideas as to the mans iden- tity. The bout is set for next Friday, and 1t is quite possible the joyous smile that now illumines the sailors intellectual face may fade before many rounds have been fought. The opinion of those who have seen Russell in -ac- tlon Is that he is decidedly dangerous. The views of Bat Masterson, on the subject will be particularly interest ing, as he is an expert on such mat ters, and generally Knows what he is talking about. Russell is a big, strong young fellow, said Masterson, WAOA 0tSSoSolASs tAC 1ldtSA. 11C StdIuS about six feet two inches and fights at 200 pounds in trained condition; is slambang fighter of the first quality, and can hit q terrific blow. I'll never forget the way he stood Choynski on his head when they fought in Denver some time ago. Russell lost on foul through losing his head and striking ChownslSi while the long haired chap was down, but if ever man was beat en to a standstill, Choynski was on that occasion. Unless Sharkey man. ages to land a knockout blow in the first round or so,. Il think he will get a hammering that he will never for get Sharkey rushes into a man from the start, and that's just the style of fighting that suits Russell. It will be a contest worth seeing while 1t lasts, no matter who wins" Thus it can be seen that while Sharley should win on form, yet he may have considerable trouble.

as Kate Dykeman, was arraigned yester-
day before Magistrate Hogan in the West
Side Court on a charge of grand larceny.
Annie Carvan, the maid in Mrs. Sterne's
fiat at l West Eighty-segenth Street. who
caused the woman's arrest was on hand
to testify against her, but Magistrate

robbed her fiat at 3 West Eighty-seventh
Street The detectives will have in court
tomorrow about twenty witnesses whose
fats have been robbed during the past
six weeks, and they will be asked to
identify the prisoner. All the complain
ants tell the same story-that the robber
would give her name to the maid at the
door and while She was announcing it
the Girl in the Picture Hat would
gather up anything valuable she could
lay her hands on and disappear. II the
mistress was not at home the robber
would gain admittance- by asking for
permission to write q note
Mrs. Dykeman was taken to police
headquarters yesterday. None of the de-
tectiyes knew her by sight. and it is be-
lieved that her career has been brief.
Her photograph and measurements were
taken for the rogues' gallery She de-
clined to discuss her history, but ad-
mitted that she had been guilty of
thefts.
At 529 East Twelfth Street, the address
given by Mrs. Dykeman, the police found
her husband, Laurence Dykeman. He is
a mechanic and professed to be much
surprised that his wife had been arrested
He identified a handkerchief found In one
of the plundered fats as his wife's prop
erty. He SAID he had always believed
she was an honest woman.

ports from Spain were SHOTS. against

preceding year, while during the same
period onr exports to Spain Increased
from SS,lS9,2SS to Ss9ss. so For the single
month of July our imports increased from
Sz1o.Zl6 TO S63i.5 and our exports to Spain
increased from s64OGs9 to 81 .l5s, $50.
Raw materials form the most Important
feature Of our exports to Spain, and fruits
