New Haven, June 11.-Meriden was defeated yesterday through clever play ing, when it counted for run getting on the part of the New Havens. Meriden was handicapped by the absence of Mike Delaney. who has gone to the Springfields, and Bradigan, who played for time with Springfield, tried to cover second base. He was a failure and assisted New Haven in winning. Downey took Bradigans place. Meri- den hit a little harder than New Ha- ven. but the hits were not as well placed. The score:

Tom Jenkins Fails to Trow Dan Me
 Leod Two Falls in One Hour.

Cleveland, June 11.-Cleyeland is the
 home of Tom Jenkins, and on each oc- 1 cas1on when he appears before the peo- l pie i'll a wrestling match the sports
 turn out in great numbers. Last night 5000 people were present at the handi- cap match between Jenkins and Dan Mcleod. Jenkins was to throw Me l Leod twice within an hour, but he met defeat last night. Mcleod made it q
 whirlwind go and kept Jenkins busy from the opening until he fell into a l trap at the end of fifty-three minutes, and Jenkins got the first fall. He was not able to do more with Mcleod who stayed the time limit without another fall. It was one of the fastest and | fiercest matches seen in the west. | Harvey Parker. who is in Worcester for the purpose of making match with Hjalmar Lundin, will probably be matched to meet Charles Wittmer of Cincinnati.
 George V. Tuohey of Cincinnati,
 who manages Wittmer, is on his way east to arrange matches for his man.
 When Parker deposited $100 for bout with Lundin he said he was ready to take on Oscar Sundstrom of Worces- ter. Professor Michael J. Dwyer of this city, or Charles Wittmer. His money stands and all that is necessary to get the match will be to cover the forfeit and name date for the ar ranging of the preliminaries. Parker is anxious to take on Lundin first, but as the latter shows no signs of com ing to time he will take on anybody who covers the forfeit money.
 Lundin's failure to match with Par ker is surprise to his many Worces- ter friends who are anxious to see him pitted against the former Brockton wrestler.
 Wittmer is the champion Graeco- Roman wrestler of America but also wrestles catch as catch can, so that no trouble will appear in matching with Parker. Wittmer has all the advan- tage in weight. as he tips the scales at more than 1S0 pounds, while Parker at his best is but 146 pounds. At the same time Parker is chain lightning when he gets on the mat and as fast worker and aggressive wrestler has no equal. Going against the big fel- lows he gives away many pounds and this is the only reason why he loses match.

Philadelphia, June 11.-Peter Maher had lucky escape last night in his six round bout with Big Fred Russell, the western boxer. Maher had all the best of the go on points for five rounds and in the sixth was doing good work until he ran into a punch that put him down and he would undoubtedly have been counted out but for the bell. Maher showed more cleverness than did Rus sell, who appeared to be too cumber- some to box fast.

New London June 11-Secretary Thrasher of the Connecticut State Law and Order league has announced his intention of trying to stop the fight between Terry McGovern and Young Corbett,' which is scheduled to be decided here on August 29. Mayor Dart says that on no account will anything be allowed to interfere with the bout. The permit was given by the board of aldermen, and if the battle is fought according to the law, no one will be allowed to molest the boxers.

The youthful William Rothwell of Denver, known to prize ring followers as ''Young Corbett,' is showing himself to be as capricious as a prinia donna. The featherweight champion was matched to meet Abe Attell in Denver on June 6, but broke off the match when he agreed to fight Dave Sullivan on June 20. Now he has signed for another bout against Attell to be de- cided on June 27.

CARING FOR VETERANS.
Mai. Woods Contrasts Policies of Eu-
rope and America

Paris Dec 19.-"When I get back /
mean to tell the veteran soldiers of the
United States that they are doing toll
erably well, compared to their European
confreres." said Major Robert Mann
Woods, in an interview today
Major Woods. who has just completed
in France an investigation similar to
that he recently made in England on
the same subject. continued: For
many years past the total amount of
French pensions, though larger than
that of England, has not reached one
third of the annual pension payments of
the United States. to say nothing of the
fact that the best invalid home for old
soldiers in France is lamentably de-
ficient compared to the splendid insti-
tutions of America
There is good care taken of the gall
liant old fighters of France. however,
although the method differs somewha
from that of the United States. For ex
ample many disa bled veterans are fur
nished with lodging without an addi-
tional pension. and here, also, soldiers s
widows and ophans whose taxes prove
that their incomes are exceedingly small
or entirely wanting, are assured of fair
support Indefinitely.
MANY old soldiers who are able to
get about are given the preference in
appointments to the minor government
offices, but the veteran undoubtedly
stands in no such public honor as in the
United States. There is no regular or
ganization of veterans"

a verbal message to the president inform

AS much of the White House furniture

TAFT WILL GET 1T.
Retirement of Justice shiras Makes
Vacancy for Philippine Governor.

Washington, Dec 12-The successor to
Justice Shiras on the supreme bench when
the eminent Pittsburg jurist retires will
probably be Judge W. H. Taft, at present
president of the Philippine commission
and governor of the islands. The retire
mert of the justice will not take place
until the October term begins. There will
probably be no announcement as to the
proposed change in the Philippine COM
mission until about the time it is to be
made
W. w. Rockhill. now chief of the bureau
of American republics, is expected to be
appointed to fill the vacancy on the Phil
ippine commission created by Judge Tafts
transfer to the supreme court at Wash
ington.
Judge Taft's promotion to the supreme
court viii be in fulfllment of a promise
of President Mckinley. Judge Taft re-
signed from the federal circuit bench in
Ohio to accept the craftsmanship of the
Philippine commission at the urgent so
ictation of the late president, with whom
he had been on terms of intirn ate friend
ship for many years.
At that time President Mckinley as
sured Judge Taft of his purpose to re
ward him for the great sacrifice involved
for the public welfare by promoting him
to the United States supreme court as
soon as vacancy occurred, to which the
section of country represented by Judge
Taft was entitled.
It is believed that Justice Shiras will
ask for retirement within the next six
months and then the president will make
formal announcement of the selection of
Judge Taft to succeed him.
It is assumed that with the retirement
of Judge Taft from the Philippine com
nor of the islands will be taken by Cen
eral Luke E. Wright of Tennessee. now
vice chairman of the commission and vice
governor of the Philippines
