BASE BALL NEVIS.
Norwich Does the Trick, and
 Very Nicely, Yesterday.

We Were Outplayed and Outbatted at
 Every Stage of the Game-FranK

 Game and Fines are Hanging Over
 His Head-Results of Games in This
 and Other Leagues-Some Interest
 ing Notes.
 We were beaten again yesterday, and in a very decisive manner, and thls time it was Norwich that did the trick The team played some better than the day before. but there are many changes necessary. We have no more license to go up against the team that played here yesterday and expect to win than we have of going up against Pittsburg. We are outclassed in every particular almost and that was clearly proven by yesterdays game. Of course 1t may be that some of the players have lost heart because of the disruptions that have occurred in the last few days, but if they have lost heart they should at once to find it. The people have now got to point where they demand good base ball. and that they will have or they will not patroniZe the games. Just look at the few who were down to the game to see the leaders of the league. This was all caused by the silly funk of the day before and until the team does better or some new faces are seen the people will be decidedly shy of patroniZiQg the games.
 Norwich started in to win yesterdays $ game with dash that boded il for the home team and before she could be stopped by clean hitting and an error or two she had scored four times. Wa terbury tried to duplicate the feat. but only got two. There was nothing doing in the second and ill the third Norwich again hit the sleather and had three more tallied up for her. She scored twice more in the fifth and Waterbury did the same. Waterbury got another in the sixth and there she stopped, a1- though having many chances to make good finer players could hit. Norwich got another in the eighth and she sIopped The score and summary:4 :

 A very important meeting of the City Amateur league was held last evening at the rooms of St Jeseph's society, and 1t was almost Il o'clock before the business was transacted. All the man. agers were present and E. l.. Maloney presided.

The protests were withdrawn and then Manager Me hernerney named two more players who will play with the St Joseph team. These players are Thompson. who came here from Baltimore to play in the outfeld for the Waterbury league team, and Charley Johnson, an un- known.
 Some of the teams objected to the condition of the diamond on Riverside park and wanted their games trans ferred to the other grounds. As this could not be done without making LID whole new schedule it was decided to play the schedule as arranged and that the Riverside grounds should be put m condition inside of two weeks.

A GREAT" POLOISr
Leaves Muncie to Vail and Signs with
 the Waterbury Team.


 This dispatch from Muncie, Ind, to the Globe will tickle some of the polo experts here in the east: 2 Eddie Higgins, the phenomenon rusher on the polo team that won the worlds championship for Muncie last season, win sign with the Waterbury, Conn, team. Higgins is one of the greatest rushers who ever 'scaged" a ball in this city, and local polo enthusi- asts are bewailing the fact that he is to leave the team"
 There are lots of phenomenon rushers working around here that can do just as well as Higgins, and the fact that he is regarded as king pin in Muncie shows what the general cali bre of the league is to which Billy Par sons's Lowells bowed the knee recent ly, allowing the worlds championship to go west for reasons.

United States Detectives Seize
 Gaynor and Greene.
A SHARP PURSUIT EASILY ELUDED.
Men Who Forfeited Bail Bond nt Sa- vannah and Fled Hurried on Board Swift Tug at Quebec
 Much Excitement Caused.

QUEBEC, May 16.-Colonel John F. Gaynor and Captain w. D. Greene, who forfeited their bail at Savannah early ia March and fled to Canada, have been placed under arrest by off, cers connected with the United States secret service and Chief Carpenter of the Montreal detective force. The ar rests were made on warrants issued in Montreal, Chief Wilkes men assisting the Canadian officers to make the ar rests. The men were hurried on board a swift little tug which had been kept in waiting at the wharf, and ten min- utes after Greene and Gaynor were safely on board the boat steamed out into the river and started toward Mont real. The officers moved so quickly that neither of the prisoners was given an opportunity to consult with coun- sel.
 When notified of her husbands ar rest, Mrs. Gaynor at once consulted MT. Tachereau, her husbands attorney. A tug was chartered, and an attempt was made to overtake the boat on which Gaynor and Greene were being Sd411CA q way AllSA d SlOll ShdSS. II was seen by those on board the pursu- ing tug that it would be impossible to oyertake the detectives boat, which was the Spray, one of the swiftest tugs on the St. Lawrence, and the pursuit was abandoned.
 On returning to the city it was decid- ed to charter special train and at tempt to head off the Spray at some point between this city and Montreal.
 The arrest of Greene and Gaynor and the manner in which it was accom- plished caused considerable excitement in the city, where both men have be- come well known.
 When the two Americans first arriv- ed in Quebec, they were followed by two men, also from the United States, who registered at the Chateau Fronte- mac. Their movements led the hotel employees to believe that they were detectives sent here to watch Greene and Gaynor. It now develops that one of these men is Detective Burke of Florida.
 Yesterday MT. .McA1aster,- a pronni nent lawyer of Montreal, who, it is ru 1nored, is engaged by the prosecution l arrived here by boat from Montreal On the same boat with him were six detectives, including Chief Carpenter of Montreal. They were met at the wharf here on their arrival by Detec tive Burke.

A well Laid Scheme.

s WASHINGTON, May 16.-The kid naping and subsequent arrest of Gay nor and Greene at Quebec was the re suit of carefully laid plan of Chief Willzie of the secret service. It was denied that the department had sent men to apprenend the fugitives, but it was later learned that Inspectors Ben nett, Burke, Taylor and three others had been assigned to the case. The department had been looking for news of their arrest.

At Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, May 16.-There has been d good deal of kicking on account of Rogers, but Rogers hit better gait and is playing good ball now. The fault yesterday was. with Manager Jim O'Rourke. At critical stage sof the seventh inning he was ten feet away from his base when the ball was thrown to inc. plate. which would have put the runner out if he had been where he ought to have been at the time It was a costly error of judg ment and cost the winning run, for without it the game would have been tied. Againy with Yale on first, who had every chance to make a fine steal of second, Jim popped up a fly to Hart out in right field, and the side was re- tired. This was in the ninth inning, when one run would have tied and two won the game. Manager Jim went to bat five times and went out every time That tells the cause of yesterdays de- feat. The score:

 Fighting News.
 New Britain, May 16.-The boxing exhibition scheduled to have been held in this city last night between Billy Gardner and Sam Roland, was can Lcelled owing to the non-appearance of Gardner. The latter's manager sent word yesterday morning that his man would be unable to appear. An effort was made to have Patsy Sweeney sub stituted, but Boland's manager would not let his man go on. None of the bouts scheduled were pulled off owing to the non-appearance of the principals.
 It is probable that Terry McGoyern will be seen in the ring again before his mill with Young Corbett. McGov- ern has received an offer from the American A. c. of Chicago to meet Benny Yaeger, the "Tipton Slasher," ," in six-round go. The club is anxious to pull off the encounter within three weeks, but 1t is not likely that Nc Govern will accept under these condi- tions, as he wants a little more time The weight as suggested by Yaeger is 126 pounds. Terry suggests catch weights.
 Manager Sam Harris lfas matched Hughey McGovern. brother of the Brooklyn terror, to fight Griff Jones six rounds before the National A c. in Philadelphia tomorrow evening. Har- ris will post $1,000 as a guarantee for McGoyern to meet any boy in the world at no pounds in the vent of Hughey defeating Jones.
 Baltimore, May 16-Joe Bernstein of New York, who is performing at a local theater this week, and Yonng Cor belt were matched yesterday, the fight to take place on June in Chicago. According to a dispatch received yes terday from Denver, Kid Broad has been selected to box Young Corbett ten rounds at Denver on May g. The weight is 126 pounds, weigh in at 3 o'clock on the day of the encounter. Dave Sullivan was originally to have Faced Gorbett on this date, but the ne- .gotiations fell through This will be the third meeting between the pair In the first bout Broad was returned the victor in four rounds and in the next Corbett won, the contest going the limit, ten rounds.

the following letter to the pension
department:
T. TOPEKA, Nov. 3, 1902.
"To the Hon: Pension Commissioner;
s"Having become converted to the
belief commonly known as Christian
Science, herewith voluntarily sur
render all claim to the pension which
I have been drawing for the past twelve
years. My pension was allowed on &C.
count Of alleged rheumatism and
stomach trouble contracted during my
service in the Civil war, and the mortal
error which made me think had them
also. made the doctors who examined
me think the same. But I am now
continued that there is no such thing
as rheumatism or stomach trouble; thu

error, and that have no right to take
