Lucien Lesna, the Swiss rider, who was in New York during the races in Madison Square Garden, two years ago won the greatest road race in Europe, the Paris -Bordeaux contest, on May 4 and 5. The distance of this race is 375 miles, and it appeals only to the best riders of the continent The win ner of it is accounted the long dis tance champion of Europe. Lesna also won the Paris -Roubaix race, another celebrated road riding event. Lesna, although native of Switzerland, pre- fers an American wheel, and he won both of the races mentioned on a wheel made in one of the factories of the American Bicycle Co.
 Lucien Grognet, French rider, the second of the seasons cycle racing in- yaders from Europe, arrived yesterday on the Pennland. Grognet was tho star amateur of France in 1899, win- ming the Grand Prix de Paris and en- tering the professional ranks the fol lowing year His success was most promising for an initial inning in the paid class, but was cut short with a summons to replace his racing suit with a soldiers uniform. A change of residence to Belgium became neces- sary, and recently Grognet decided to try his luck on this side of the ocean. He is a young giant in build, only 21 years old, and weighs 174 pounds. During his professional experience he defeated Gougoltz and other good riders. 1t is probable that Grognet will complete his training at the Vails- burg track.

TOM CoRBETT TALKS.

Tom Corbett, brother to ex-Cham- pion Jim arrived in New York yes terday from San Francisco. Corbett says that his trip is merely one of pleasure, but it is reported that he is here to complete arrangements for the proposed battle between Jim Jeffries and Gus Ruhlin for the Twentieth Gen. tury A. 0. In a talk Corbett said: "The boxing game on the Pacific coast is all the rage. The public, now that things are on the square, are itching to see some of the top notches come to- gether, and before long, if I am not mistaken, severaltIheavyweight cham pionship matches will be decided there. The first battle will be between Jeffries and Ruhlin. Then an attempt will be made to match the winner against ei- ther Sharkey or Bob Fitzsimmons I think that Fitz wiiludo some fighting in the summer and that he will go to Frisco, too. Theqmill between Terry McGavern and Herrerra the Spaniard, is attracting a lot of attention. This fellow Herrerra is a good fighter but I don't think heDhas chance against Terry. He may surprise people, how ever, by putting up a stiff argument. His packers think he is real cham pion and are betting all kinds of mon- ey on his chances. The first is for twenty rounds, for a side bet of $3,5OO to $5,000, the larger end being placed by McGovern.

Bridgeport here Monday.

From the looks of the weather to- day, Jimmy Canavan will have a chance to return the compliment to Roger Connor of playing a double header here later in the season. We trust we will be in better shape when the time comes than we were in yes- terday.
 Jim O'Rourke and his band of hus- tiers will come to us on Monday and we will take that game or die in the attempt. We are feeling much better than when we met the last time and perhaps Charley Clancy will make 1t interesting for the Bridgeporters from O'Rourkeyille. 1t may be that we will run one of the new men up against the visitors, but at any rate we will win dead sure.
 Some of those scrappy ball players in this league will run up against a tough proposition one of those days and then they will be sorry that they were not more careful. A good dose of their own medicine sometimes an- swers better than fine or removal from the game. Ramon should have been disciplined for his attack on Man ager Miller after the game was over the other day.
 One fan who knows all about it told us that many years ago Unglaub's people in Zambesi were out on four day. hunt after antelopes, elephants and whales, when they came across q lone white man reading a copy of Spalding's Guide. Unglaub's great uncle, whose name was Unglauboslo- mogus, lassoed him, took him back to their kraal and made him do a snake dance for the benefit of the chief. Lit tie "Ungy" used to read the Guide in idle moments, and it was then for the first time he learned the difference be- tween base ball and hole in. the ground. Some say that Unglaub has forgotten this information since, but that's another story. When "Ungy' grew up to be big man he became tired of the Zulu national sport of sticking the harpoon into white men, so he engaged passage on an excursion steamer one day and after many trials and tribulations found himself on the Worcester base ball team.-Montreal Herald.
 The New London Globe throws. the following bouquets at our team: Roger Connor has got a "kidn named McCor- mick playing shortstop. Yesterday that kid made two hits, two runs, three put outs, five assists and two errors. That's some playing.-It is time for Waterbury to quit roasting its team. The fans ought to get together right now and give Roger Connor and his team the gilt-edged. support that they deserve. Roger has furnished that town with good ball for mans ears.-Waterbury' visits to New London in past seasons are among the most pleasant recollections of the local cranks, who haven't yet ceased to talk of that fourteen inning game of three seasons ago. There wasn't a kick, but my, didn't Waterbury and New Lon don play ball that day? That's the sort of game we like to see.-Just wait till Roger Connor gets two more reli- able pitchers and then see how long Waterbury will remain at the foot of the ladder.-The Telegraph says that Manager Shea presented the game to Roger Connor because Waterbury needed it. Wouldn't that jar you? What's the matter with giving Charlie Clancy the credit of pitching a, great game and holding us down to six little safe hits. The Globe wishes that Clancy was on our pitching stnff.

FIGHTS IND FIGHTERS.
Big Athletic Venture to be Made
 By a Couple of Sports.

A Tour of New Mexico With Such Men
 as John l.. Sullivan, Charley Mitch
 ell, Joe Wolcott, the Big Turk and
 Others-Tom O'Rourke Is Back of
 the Scheme-Tom Corbett in New
 York On a Mission for the Boxers.
 If M. B. Lavitt's plans are complet- ed ,the city of Mexico and other large cities south of our on border line, will witness athletic carnivals on gigantic scale. Leavitt yesterday completed ar engagements which practically make this a certainty.
 His object is to introduce in the southern cities a series of athletic events such as have never before been witnessed in that territory. Associated with him is Thomas O'Rourke, and be- tween them they will secure represen- tatives of the various leading lines of sport.
 John l.. Sullivan heads the list of the gladiators under the Leavitt-O O' Rourke management. In the pugilistic branch, besides the once mighty John L., there will be Charles Mitchell, Joseph Wal colt, George Dixon, Nouroulah, and probably some other wrestler of note will be taken along, as will Johnny Baker and other crack shots. I The first tournament will be given in the city of Mexico. While the date has not been definitely determined, it will be about November 1 next. Lea witt and O'Rourke, according to Lea vitt's assertion, have been trying to ar- range this for several months, and now have their plans completed. Bagpunch- ing exhibitions, sparing contests, wrestling matches and fancy shooting will be the bills. The tournament will be held on Sun days in the bull rings.
 Every large city in Mexico, Yucatan and Cuba will be visited.
 Said Leavitt last night: ssI have kept quiet about this until my plans were perfected. I have my theatrical circuit through Mexico and Cuba we'll arrang- ed now, and think the time is ripe for big athletic events in that same section"

A match has been made between

A match has been made between Nouroulah, the big foreign wrestler, and Ernest Roeber. After a long dis pute Nouroulah agreed to. try to throw Roeber three times in an hour, instead of twice, as his manager, Martin Ju- Han, first suggested. The contest is to take place on May 24, probably either in Madison Square Garden or the Academy of Music. The following conditions are 70 govern the match: Nouroulah guarantees to throw Roe- Der three times within sixty minutes of actual wrestling time, Graeco- Ro- nan, on mat twenty feet square; all falls either on or off the mat to count, with no holds barred. Flying and rolling falls are barred and the Turk must pin Roeber's shoulders to the loorbefore he can win. The refelee is to be selected three days before the contest. If the Turk fails to accom- plish his task he is to forfeit to Roe ber his sharerofN the receipts.
