served to go in against Rei1ly's men. Captain Tighe of Norwich recently se- cured Clarence Quinn, who was re- leased by the Philadelphia Athletics, and as Quinn was the Norwich star pitcher last season it was supposed he would bowl the Hartfords over. Af- ter being kept in pickle few days he was let out yesterday. When the Nor wich men learned yesterday that Kel- ly was out of the game they supposed the outcome was foregone conclusion, especially as Clarence was going into the box. The pumping that Clarence received yesterday must have been a terrible shock to his self-esteem, as he was hit for twelve, with a total of eighteen. The second and the seventh were the only innings in which Hart ford failed to hit Quinn safely and in the other rounds the bats made one grand sweet song when they went against Quinn's offerings. The score:
 R.H.E. Hartford ..oo4 4143fo 2 *-14 12 Norwich 70 1 0 1 0 0 O. 6 9 4 Batteries = Williams and Thomas; Quinn and Connolly; attendance, 600; umpire, Kennedy.

 Asked if there was any chance for 8 compromise in the Davis case, Presi- dent Johnson of the American league replied: 'SNone whatever. Davis is the property of the Chicago American league club, and he will play there or not at all. Last Tuesday Davis wrote to Comiskey asking him to send on money and ticket and he would re- port to him. Just about the time that Comiskey was making these arrange ments he received a telegram from Davis saying that he (Davis) had changed his mind. Now it stands to reason that Davis is not staying out of the game and losing his salary"

RELIANCE IS VICTOR.
Great Work of the New Defender in
 Second Race.

NEW YORK, May 27.-In a gamely contested race the Reliance again led the way to the finish line, winning her second victory over the Columbia and her first over the Constitution, and minutes and 51 seconds later when the Constitution swept across the line the crew of the new boat gave her the cheer thatsshe deserved. The Consti- tuition had sailed plucky race and had right to share in the honors. From the start to the finish she had fought every mile of the way over the thirty mile course and on two of its legs had actually outsailed the new boat, a performance which restores her prestige imperiled in her disap- pointing showing in the drifting match last Saturday and makes her factor to be reckoned with in the selection of a cup defender.
 The Columbia was for the day out classed. No other characterize tion ade- quately describes her miserable per formance. From the very start she was never for moment in the race. While the Reliance and Constitution were having it out between them selves all the way around the course the erstwhile cup defender was drag ging along miles astern of them, and when the Reliance sailed across the finish line she was more. than two miles almost dead to leeward The Re- liance beat her by 15 minutes and 51 seconds, actual sailing time. There is no way to account for it other than that she did not have the speed. The. wind held true from the south by east nine to twelve knots during the race and favored none of the racers-ideal conditions for a. fair test of the three boats and devoid of the drifting fea- lures which marred the two earlier races.

Arecently returned traveller who was received by Emperor Menelik of Abys- sinia describes his majesty as seated in small state chair, with gayly col bred carpet at his feet. He wore white trousers. brown-checked socks and very large patent leather shoes with out lacings. A long flowing coat of yellow striped green silk enveloped his body, and over this was a black satin gold embroidered burnous, with pink lined hood. His head was bound with fine white muslin, above which lowered a broad brimmed straw hat, overlaid with gold leaf ana trimmed with sap phires ard rubies. In his left ear sparkled rose cut diamond stud. A red silk umbrella, heavily embroid cred and fringed with gold, protected the royal head from the rays of the sum- N. Y. Tribune.

he will remain in this country and do all of his fighting here. 1t was the champions intention to go to England and see Ben Jordan personally about securing a fight. But as Jordan is to be represented at a meeting this week for the purpose of arranging the mill, Corbett will remain i'll America. Cor bett has planned to engage in two six round bouts at Philadelphia before he goes to the country for rest. He has offered to meet any featherweight in the business, provided he secures good enough inducements. During the first week in August Corbett will go to San Francisco to see the championship bat tie between Jim Jeffries and Jim Cor bett While there the Denver lad will see the officials of the Yosemite A. c. relative to his mill with Jordan.
 That the Root-G Gardner battle is look ed upon as a drawing card is proved by the number of clubs willing to pull off the go. Jack Herman of the Fort Erie club has sent ill his bid. He guar antees purse of $2,5O0 with the priyi- lege of 60 per cent of the gate receipts. Harry Mccoy of the big boxing club of Mexico, is a bidder, as is Billy Con- sidine of the Metropolitan Athletic club of Detroit. Tim Hurst of the Southern club of Louisville, is likewise in line for chance to secure the men. Andy Craig, former matchmaker and mana ger Of the Wabash Athletic club of Chicago is in charge of Gardner's busi- ness. Craig is ready to back his man aoaiusf anv fighter in the world. bar ring Jeffries Craig was heavy win ner in Gardner's fight with Marvin Hart in Louisville, and has taken a keen fancy to the boxer. This will keep Gardner in Chicago for the pres ent, and all his matches will be made through Craig.

Holyoke Hammers the Ball Hard
 for Another Victory.

Bridgeport Fell the Victim This Time
 Quinn of Norwich Celebrates His Re-
 turn by an Awful Slaughter-spring-
 field Wins from Meriden in the
 Tenth-Other Base Ball News.
 .Holyoke, May 27.-In a game that was interesting only for the heavy hit ting it contained, Holyoke defeated Bridgeport yesterday afternoon by the score of 15 to 8 and nipped in the bud the aspirations the orators had of breaking into first place. Neither team played gilt-edged ball, though for the most part the performance of the In- fants was fully up to the standard. They ran bases in dashing style and there was nothing of the yellow type in any of their errors.
 With FoxTy Grandpa O'Rourke be- hind the bat, Bridgeport put up a good struggle for three innings and made a dying spurt in the seventh. The eight errors sandwiched in by the men from the city of many troubles wee main ly responsible for the victory, as Char lie Clancy was hit nearly as hard as was Mccullough. Excepting the sew enth inning, Charlie managed to keep the hits well scattered while the swats of the home team came at more opporr tune times. <
 Kid Mccormack, P. Frank Woodruff and J.. Henry O'Rourke furnished the fireworks. All three showed mid-season form in the. gentle art of hammreing with the ball for target, and if Uncle Jim didn't have a spavin, he might have stretched his double into three bagger. But for an old one the Bridge port sage played great ball in the field as well as at the bat. Bases were purloined right handily by the Hol- yoke runners, but it was not always the fault of the catcher that this was thus.
 Landy once again showed that there are times when he can play the game. Besides accepting cleanly seven out of eight chances, he put two hits to his credit and one of them was gem which scored Mccormack and Ross man in the second inning and put Hol- yoke to the good in the running. Clan cy had a good with the willow and out in left field Batch again proved himself one of the star felders of the league.
 A feature of the game that should not pass unnoticed by the rooters was the neatness and dispatch with which Captain Fitzpatrick did the unselfsh act. Three time she dumped tiny sac riflces close to the plate and all of them figured in the run getting. The Holyoke captain need not doff his cap to any sacrifice hitter in the league when 1t comes to turning a trick of this kind and the trick is one that often wins close game, to say nothing of its worth in game like that of yes terday. The score:

Amateur Notes

The Washington Hilf base ball team, which will lay off on Memorial day, will probably go to Winsted to take the place of the Brooklyn Athletic club. Two games will be played in Winsted that day and the guarantee is a good one.
 Bill Thompson, who is now playing right field and catcher for the George town team, and who is brother of Manager Thompson of the North Ends, will be in the game when he returns from college for the summer vacation. There will be one or two other college play put in the game, too. on the other teams.
 Fred Henebry has returned to Wa terbury once more and will be found with the Pastimes on Saturday next. He and George MuIigan have had enough of professionalism and the way of treatment in professional teams. The amateurs are good enough for them at present. Each will be a valu- able addition to his team.
 Last Saturday a little scrap started between two players which was quick ly stopped by the other players, and the managers were instructed last night to inform their players that any such actions which occurred in the fu- ture would mean suspension for those guilty of rowdyism. The game will be kept just as clean this season as it was last.
 Tickets for the game on Saturday will be in the hands of the managers this evening and will be disposed of to all who desire them. The league has gone to considerable expense for those holiday games and the people who have so often witnessed those free Sunday games are now given an op- portunity to help the boys out by pa- tronizing the Saturday and holiday games.
 The Merrimac base ball team, which also lays idle on Memorial day, will go to Meriden to play strong team in that city. Manager Hayes has had a little hard luck with his team so far this season, as he has not been able to play a game. He was scheduled for Waterville Saturday last, but another team held the grounds and refused to give them up. He will be given plenty of work later.

CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE.
Very Breezy Session Was Held Last
 Evening

IFSuluSs
 There was very breezy session of the City Amateur league held last even- ing in the St Josephs rooms, and the debate became so heated that the de- velopments were more than surprising. Some of the managers were accused of picking players from other teams and paying them good wages for each game played. This was vigorously denied by those accused, and denials and ac- cusations came so fast that it was no wonder the president was forced to call halt. As a result of the argu- ment, however, the two games to be played on Memorial day will be for purses of $25 each.
 It was intended to let some of the horsemen of the city give some races on Memorial day. and the league, was to have divided up profits with those gentlemen, but after careful consid- eration of the mattersthe managers de cided that it was better to go it alone. They have the grounds secured for all day. but it was decided last; night that games would be played In the after noon only.
 The teams that will contest on Sat urday will be the North Ends and the St Josephs for the first game, and if that does not be a red hot contest it will not be the fault of Managers Thompson and Lydon. Each manager will place his best team in the field and that first game win be a bird. It will start promptly at ? o'clock
 The second game will occasion as much interest. It will bring together the two close rivals of last season, the Brooklyn Athletic club and the Pas times. The Brookayns won the pen nant, but the Pastirnes were so close to them that only one game would have changed the championship. Man. ager Mcdonald believed last season, and he believes to-day, that he has the best team, and he will try to prove that on Saturday next. Tn order to make the game interesting both Man ager Madden and Manager Mcdonald have placed little side issue on the game Tn connection with this it might be well to statet that Manager Madden had a chance to take his team to Winsted on Memorial day, but when he saw that there were insinuat tions that he feared to face the Pastimes for the first game, and on 8 holiday, too, he re- signed all thoughts of going to Win sted and stated he would play the Pas times if he had to get into the game himself.
 That will make two warm games, with rivalry rampant on each side. Trains will leave at 1:3O and $40, as usual, and buses will also run on that day. The grounds will be roped off also and teams will have the field to themselves and will not be bothered by any people getting in the way of a runner or batsman.

 Last Night.
 Worcester, Mass, May 27.--In one of the fastest and most exciting wrestling matches ever held here, Jim Parr de- feated M. J. Dwyer of Waterbury last night, winning two straight falls, catch-as-catch-can style. The first fall was won by Parr with combination leg and crotch hold ill 40 minutes and Al seconds and the second was also taken by the English wrestler in 24 minutes and 20 seconds with a half Nelson.
 New York, May 27-Carl Pons of France was only able to secure one fall against Tom sharkey at Sulzer's liar lem River park last night, although he agreed to throw the Irishman three times in one hour at mixed style. This was Pons's first appearance in a seri- ous match in this city, but the attend ance was below expectations, only about 600 pctators being present.
