Baseball for Exercise"

The prize lighting game in the east
bids fair to being forced into a back
seat by the pugilistically inclined base
ball players. In the game at Baltimore
yesterday. between the Orioles and De-
troit, Umpire Connolly gave some de-
cisions which displeased the Balti-
moreans and they gathered around him
and threatened to do him bodily harm.
Seeing what was coming, Connolly for
feited the game to Detroit by the score
of to 0 and left the field.
Connolly was lucky, at least more so
than Umpire Haskell, who officiated in
the game between Washington and Chi
oago, at the national capital. Haskell
gave a decision which displeased Chi
cago, and Shugart, the shortstop struck
him stinging blow in the face. Katoll,
who had been ordered to the bench, at
tempted the same thing, and mix-up
followed, in which the spectators and
police took hand. One Of the specta-
tors landed on the physiognomy of Shu-
gart, and things We're growing serious
when the shortstop and Katoll We're
placed under arrest. The affair might
be called baseball for exercise"

Wade Had Better Go Slow.

AS was stated yesterday, negotiations
are pending for boxing contest between
Jack Wade and a clever lightweight. be-
fore the Butte Athletic club, at the Park
street saucer. The clever lightweight is
none else than Young" Corbett of
Denver and if he accepts the
terms offered. Butte sport lovers
will have an opportunity of see
ing one of the best lightweights in the
country, and the little fellow who has a
better chance than any in his class
against Terry McGovern. Corbett would
be great drawing card here, and when
he comes it can oe taken as a sure thing
that Jack Wade will get his quietus. 1t
would be better for Wade to take on
some of the little fellows whom Corba.t
has finished, before tackling the Denver
lad. Wade is clever all right, and game,
but he would have no more chance
against Corbett than man with tallow
legs would have in a foot race in Hades
Wade has lots of time before him, and
because of that it would be better for
him to wait while and not set his star

PROBABLE FATAL SHOOTING AS
RESULT OF A RACE TRACK RIOT

Word was conveyed to the Delmar
track and the sheriff and his deputies
brought forth repeating shotguns and
stationed themselves near the gate. At
the approach of the posse the sheriff
walked into the betting ring and placed
all the bookmakers and the manage
ment of the track under arrest on the
charge of violating the breeders law.
Betting was Immediately suspended at
all the books.
When the posse approached, the sher-
if ordered its members to keep out of
the track. Skip Rowan, a member
of the posse, attempted to rush forward,
but was stopped by the sheriff, who Or
dered his men to get their guns ready.
The sheriff had but seven deputies, but
these were all armed and the posse
withdrew.
Constable Linhhrt remained outside
after his posse departed and was allowed
to enter the grounds. He was unable
to serve his warrants on the sheriff's
prisoners, however, and he left the docu-
ments in the care of a member of the
posse. When he withdrew Sheriff
Hencken released his prisoners and bet
ting proceeded as usual.
AS sequel of yesterdays trouble at
Delmar, Joseph Graham was shot and
proba bly, fatally wounded at II o'clock
last night by party of men headed by
John Williams. Graham acted as deputy
sheriff at the race track yesterday and
the men who attacked him were men,
bers Of Constable Linehart's posse which
failed in its attempt to raid the track.
