Sports Coming From All Over the
 Country to See Harvey and Roach
 Jack Harvey was in New Haven yesterday trying himself out with Pro lessor Alcorn of Yale college and with a number of his former pupils. New Haven will send up a delegation to back Harvey on the form he showed yesterday. He has stopped training as he is now in perfect condition. Roach is still plugging along at his training and he and his friends are en- Ethusiastic over the condition of the To- cal boy. They say that Waterbury will have the 125 pound championship of the world after the go on Thursday night. There has been big demand for reserved seats and those who wish them should go after them at once as there are only very few. They are in the hands of the stakeholder and cannot be secured from anyone else. Every ticket, except the complimen- tar1es, will bear the initials of the stakeholder in red on the face of the ticket. There are only limited number of tickets and not another per- son will be allowed in the hali when the seating capacity has been sold out.

| y M hit and all more or less injured.
 There will be no post season games between Pittsburg and the American league pennant winners. President Dreyfuss of the National league cham pions refuses to entertain the proposi- ton, although his players are in favor of q series.
 Manager Connie Mack evidently has secured a good pitcher in Henry Schmidt, formerly of the Oakland, Gal, club While on the coast he landed 27 victories in 37 games. Many of these were shutouts. An average of less than five hits per game was made off his delivery.
 New York is likely to lose the ser vices of it's clever catcher, Roger Bres- nahan, for the bafance of the season. He has been confined to his bed at his home at Toledo with typhoid malaria, and while his condition is not regarded as serious, the probabilities are that it will be a long time before he regains his health.
 The makeup of the All American baseball team, which will be under the management of Joe Cantillon, Win Mercer and Tip OIsNeill, is as. follows Catchers, Sullivan and Kahoe; pitchers, Mercer, Bernhardt, Lee: first base. Harry Davis; second base, Laioie; third base, Bradley; shortstop, Monte Cross; left field, Hartsel; center field, Jones; and right field, Barrett.
 Home plate was an anonymous and uncertain quality to one Christian Mathewson in yesterdays game at the Polo ground. He saw it on the ground. in the air. to the right of him and to the left of him, and Robinson. the young catcher who essayed to hold his delivery, had a harder time of it than a man catching bricks from a three story window. Owing to O'Neill's pre- vious engagement by the Orange A. O., he could not catch for New York. and as BoWerman was still too badly in- Jured to play, Robinson was sent for from Bridgeport. Mathewson's speed was not at all to his liking, but added to that MatheWson was as wild as a stump speech over in de s.Nint'.o and had Robinson dancing a merry two step to the eighth, when Bowerman went in to catch.-New York Herald.

Fight for the City League Pennant is
 Growing Very Warm.

There is no certain sure winner in the race for the cup in the City Ama- teur league. The Brooklyn Athletic club holds the call at the present time and the loss of yesterdays game by the fastimes was a bad setback. Still a victory either way now would change the, whole aspect of things. The games scheduled to be played next Saturday will about decide the winner Of the cup. The results of yester- days games were as follows:
 At Riverside.
 Riverside, Sept 8.-The Brooklyn Ath- letic club climbed another round in the ladder towards the pennant yesterday by defeating the St Joseph team very easily. The Brooklyn boys are out for that cup and they are leaving no stone unturned to win it. Johnny Kelly was on the slab for the Brooklyns and he had the St Josephs at his mercy. Byrnes pitched for the temperance lads and he was hit hard and often. It was really one-sided game. The score:
