FLANAGAN LEAVES L. A. W.
Champion Hammer Thrower Will Con-
 pete for Irish American A. c.

John Flanagan, holder of the worlds record for throwing the sixteen-pound hammer, has left the New York A. c. and will compete in the future under the colors of the Irish-American A. C.. This will have a great effect on the points scored by the New York A. O.. in future championships, as since his arrival in this country the big Irish man has been one of the most conSis-. tent winners on the winged foof' team. It was only last week at Buff falo that Flanagan won three first places at the Metropolitan champion-l ships and added considerably to the. total of points scored by his club. against the Pastimes, Knickerbockers and other organizations.
 Flanagan was temporarily dropped from membership in the New York A. c. last winter in company with two, other prominent athletes for disre- garding the house rules, but was rein stated on complying with the rules. It was stated yesterday that there was no friction on this account and that the transfer of Flanagan's allegiance to the Irish-American organization had not caused any i'll feeling between the hammer thrower and the officers of the New York A. c. In proof of this Flanagan on Wednesday received his release from his former club. Mem bers of the Irish-American A. O., which has hitherto been known as the Great CT New York A. O., say that Flanagan will compete in the colors of their club at the nights of Columbus games at Boston tomorrow and will also repre- sent the club at the worlds champion ships at Buffalo. Under the rules an athlete who leaves one A. A. U. club is not eligible to compete for another organization for three months, even though he receives his release.
 The Irish-American organization is evidently going to make a bid for prominence in the fall games for it was stated yesterday that F. O'Con- nor, holder of the worlds record for the broad jump, will compete for the | club, when he arrives iii this country. O'Connor is said to have made another great jump recently at Wexford where he is reported to have at last got over the 25-foot mark, with a jump of 25 feet F an inch.

 Base Ball-Fitzpatrick at Second Makes Brilliant Record-C Courtney
 Catch in Center Field Sensational
 One-Timmy O'Rourke Uses the
 Stick to Advantage - Results of Games in This and Other Leagues.
 Waterbury trimmed Norwich on her own grounds yesterday principally through the clever pitching of Waller, who has once more been reinstated in favor Walters work was gilt edge all through the game and in tigat places he was invincible. Twice did the Norwich team have two men on bases with one man out but Waller could not be found for any safe ones to bring in a run. Once with three men on bases and only one out he did the same thing. He was given the greatest kind of support. Fitzpatrick at second playing q remarkable game. He had fourteen chances and accepted all oI them. The four double plays made by Waterbury were of the snap piest kind and were executed with lightning .rapidity. In fact the game put up by Waterbury could nOt be beaten by any team in any league. Courtney out in center field made the star catch of the game after long run

ABOUT THE RINGsIDE.

Several clubs are after the match arranged recently between Tim Calla- han and Jack McClelland of Pittsburg. The twain were to meet at Bridgeport, but another place will now have to be selected.
 Much interest is being taken by the southern sports in the forthcoming en- counter between Jack Bennitt of Pitts burg and Jack Daily of Wilmington, who are to meet in twenty round bout at the Savannah A. 0. on August 5. The weight is 40 pounds.
 The Navarro A. 0. of Louisville is out with an offer for a twenty round bout between Kid Mccoy and Marvin Hart. The club wants the match to be decided during the season of the fall trotting. and announces the in tention of building large amphithea- ter in the event of the contest being ratified.

 All Neill, the crack California well terweight. has received an offer to journey to Cape Nome and meet Nick Burley. The Cape Nome sports say that they will hang up purse of $5, GOO for the fray. Burley has been very successful since he went to the gold country, and is said to have amassed $20,000 by fighting.
 Joe Choynski has now an unknown heavyweight under his wing who he thinks will become champion some day. During the past few months Choynski has been spending most of his spare time on a Seven-acre farm near Chicago. Joe says that he is ex- ercising all the time and declares that he is in excellent condition.
 Kid McFadden of San Francisco has answered Joe Bernstein's recent def and says that he can secure backing to the extent of $1.000 to meet either Bernstein, Benny Yaeger. the ssTipton Slasher' or any 118. to 122-pounder in the ring. The Kid has two matches no on, one with Solly Smith and the other with George Curran.
 Kid Broad has changed his mind about visiting San Francisco, for ac- cording to a dispatch. Broad and his manager has left Denver and are now on their way home. Broad's defeat by young Corbett has evidently changed his plans, for it was the Kids intention to go to Frisco and challenge any 122 to 126-pounder on the Pacific coast. Jim effries has replied to Billy Mad den's cent challenge for a match be- tween the boiIermaker and Gus Ruh- lin UT ter London prizering rules. Jeff ries s ys: There is no chance of such a figl being decided and I cannot un- derst i'd why Madden made such a state ent. I will get after Ruhlin in due slson. Even if I did consent to suchl ! match there would not be much mont z in it for us. We could make five times $1O.O0O between us for a fight in public"
 Billy Roache, manager of George McFadden and Tim Callahan. has talk en hold of Kid Lavigne and will man. age the ex-lightweight champion in the future. Roache declares that Lavigne is now in better trim than ever. He says that the kid has been taking good care of himself. Roache told the Sun reporter yesterday that he will not go after Terry McGovern right away, but will content himself by pitting Lavigne first against some of the lesser 135 | pounders.

HART AND HAWAIIAN.

Al Smith yesterday received q check for $20O from Johnny Burnes, mana ger of Marvin Hart. the young plumb CT, who is middleweight and who never has been defeated. The money is forfeit to clinch a match between Hart and Bill Hanrahan. The 'sgo,' which was clinched a few weeks ago, was to be decided at the Royal Golf and Athletic club of Bridgeport. When the match was made Smith was named by the club as final stakeholder. Since then, however, the club has decided not to hold any more contests until October It is probable that the mill will now be transferred to Louisville.

Another shut out.


 Two doses of whitewash administer ed by Waterbury.
 In ten times at bat in the last three games at Washington park Delehanty made one hit. That one hit, however, was worth victory.
 Murphy, Fitzpatrick and Matthews had three double plays yesterday that were cOrkers and helped to administer the shut out to the Norwich team.
 The report comes from Norwich that the catch of George Courtney after he made his long run was one of the best ever seen on the Norwich grounds.
 It was too bad that Clancy had that one bad inning the day before yester- day, for we would have returned to- day with pretty good record.
 The Consolidated baseball team of tins city will play in Torrington to- morrow afternoon, and return game will be played here on August 24.
 Shortstop Ely. recently released by the Pittsburg National league team, has signed with the Philadelphia Amer ican league club, and will join the team on Saturday.
 Timmy O'Rourke was right in the game with his stick yesterday and he hammered out three safe ones and took the only ball that came out his way in right garden, That boy ought to! be q conner.
 George Hodson recently pitched a game for Oakland. Cal league, that was played in eighty minutes. House holder, another ex-eastern leaguer, now leads the league in batting.
 It is said that Van Zant, who has been pitching for Westfield all season on Saturdays, and on Sundays for the i South Brother Islands and West New Yorks, will report to George Davis of the New Yorks to-day.
 We meet Norwich again to-day on our own grounds and that should mean another victory. Jack Miriam may do l the twirling, although Collifiower may want the chance to show what he can do. Ginger Maroney, who has pitched for | the Dublins of Meriden for two sea sons, joined the Derbys yesterday. His friends advised him not to sign so that he could not be held for next sea- 1 son.
 A team that can put up a game like | that of yesterday does not belong at the foot of the ladder and for the bal ance of the season it should be the endeavor of the management to get out of that place and climb up where 1 we belong.
 There is little question but both Cleveland and Milwaukee and perhaps Baltimore have seen their last year in the American league fold, but as to to St Louis there is yet no official in- | formation.
 Evidently Waller intends to do the right thing by the local management for his work of yesterday was clean cut and interesting. He will find that he will have many more friends than he has already. if he plays baseball as it should be played and if he will forrefrain from talking back tc bleachers. Waller has temper that is not any too gentle when 1t Is aroused but it should not lead him to saying things to the people on the bleachers because it may lead him into serious difficulties.
