Fred Doe is running around talking like photograph, now that his team is in fifth place. Doe is harmless fel- low, although he does a lot of cheap talking.-Lawrence American.
 The Whalers may have their name changed to Pirates, as this is what the bleachers called them for stealing players that belonged to Hartford. Rotchford was the first one gobbled and he went to New London because of misunderstanding. Fallon belongs to Hartford but Secretary ORourke decided that New London had first claim for his services. If Manager Reilly cared to carry the case up there is little doubt that the player would be awarded to him. Fallon played a fine game yesterday and in the last inning made a catch of a ball off Williams's bat that bordered on the sensational Hartford Courant.
 A scheme is in contemplation for the New England league of next season, which looks to the placing of New England league teams in Worcester, Providence, and possibly Springfield, although the last nomed city is now

past noon when the familiar scenes in- side the Horseshoe greeted the eye of Sir Thomas Lipton,
 His steam yacht, the Erin, fully dressed with flags. was awaiting the Oceanic in the lower bay and escorted the big ship to quarantine.
 As soon as the ocean vessel stopped at quarantine to let the health and cus- toms officers aboard the Privateer, with the reception committee aboard, went alongside. A ladder was lowered from a companionway, and General Corbin scrambled up to the deck of the Oceanic, closely followed by John D.. Crimmins and the other members of the committee.
 Sir Thomas greeted each of them by name-in fact, he greeted all those who came aboard by name, and he had not seen some of them in five years. Re porters who had met him on his previ- ous trips to New York were accosted by name, and incidents were recalled by Sir Thomas that had entirely es- caped their recollection.
 The Irish sportsman wore his famil- far suit of blue serge, with a yachting cap, blue necktie and tan shoes. Be- side him as he greeted the American committee were William Fife, IT,, de- signer of the three Shamrocks, and his three secretaries-West, Wood and Duncan. ...A @ General Corbin's first duty was to ex- tend to Sir Thomas the invitation to take luncheon at the White House to- morrow.
 Sir Thomas said that it had been his intention to go aboard the Erin today and there remain until after the races, but he could not refuse the invitation. He said it would give him pleasure to go to Washington as the guest of the president
 Then he posed for the photographers with unfailing good nature. He posed with his cap on and with his cap off, facing the cameras and standing side ways, leaning against the side of the cabin or braced with his arms folded. At the invitation of Sir Thomas all hands adjourned to the smoking room When the glasses had been filled Gen. eral. Chaffee proposed a toast to the l Shamrock III. General Chaffee said that if the cup must be lost the Ameri- can people would rather see Sir Thom. as win 1t than anybody else.

NEW YORK, June 25.-That the af- lection of New York for Sir Thomas Lipton has not diminished was shown when he arrived by the White Star liner Oceanic. All the way from the Narrows to the pier the big ship moved # to the music of footing whistles and hearty cheers.
 Sir, Thomas was delighted as boy at the evidences of good feeling and an nounced that if he does not succeed in lifting the cup in August he considers it his duty to make another attempt.

Max Luttbeg Wins But Has to Fight
 At the End.
 The wrestling bout between Max Luttbeg of St Louis and Max Brenner Of the Mott Haven A. c. at the New Polo A. C., 129th street and Park ave- nue, New York, last night terminated in row. Brenner and Luttbeg were to have met to 8 finish at catch-as- catch-can style. Luttbeg showed his superiority, using his rival as if he were novice. Luttbeg secured q back hammer and put Brenner on both shoulders for clean fall The time was minutes 21 seconds. After an intermission the contest was resumed The assw Louis man wEBEgSbout to throw Brenner when the latter quit saying that he would rather lose the match than have his arm broken. Just as Announcer Meeker told the crowd that Luttbeg was the victor one of Bren- ner's friends rushed at Luttbeg in an effort to strike him. Quick as a flash Luttbeg tripped his man and it looked as if a general mix-up would result when the officials of the club separated them.
 The Spokane, Wash, Chronicle thus praises an eastern wrestler: Max Wiley, the champion wrestler is in this ely and is anxious to arrange match here when the Athletic club gives its opening in the new building. He said 1 in a conversation with Chronicle re- porter that he would be willing to take lon Bullivant on that day in handicap match, agreeing to throw him three times in one hour. He says he is do- l ing much better work than when he was here the last time, and that as l Bullivant has not been on the mat late l ly he believes tlds would be an even mateh4a5 Wiley says Bulliyant is the best man of his weight he has ever met. | It is quite probable that this match will be pulled off, as Wiley is willing | to come back, if the club desires him. l Wiley is always drawing card. He | is a clever, strong, clean wrestler, and pleases wherever he goes. From Spo- kane Wiley goes to New York, where he will meet Max Luttbeg of St Louis. Then he wrestles Harvey Parker in August for the lightweight profession al championship of the world. Wiley issues challenge to any 135 or 145 pound man to meet him on his return l to Spokane next December

Worcester's trou- bles are familiar to base ball fans. however, and President Hurley is said to have lost $1o,O00 on the team in the time in which it has been under his control. There is a feeling among the wise ones that some of the smaller cities in the league that are now being toted along by wealthy packers may get tired of paying the bills by another season. and if so there will be changes. -Brockton Enterprise,

Briggs will meet Herrera, the man who defeated Kid Broad, while Canole is to be matched at Portland, Ore, against Jack O'Keefe of Philadelphia. or Jimmy Britt of San Francisco. Canole thinks it is about time that he shared big purses. He Is to-day the only legitimate lightweight that can fight at weight among the notable men of his class, and there is plenty of money in the east to back him against Joe Cans, weighing 133 pounds at ringside.

 On next Saturday the above games will be played and it marks the begin ming of the second series of the City Amateur league. Every manager is doing his utmost in having team of full strength, notwithstanding the ac- tion of the manager of the Consolidat- ed team in picking the best players of the City league to go to South Manchester on next Saturday. Any player of the City league who plays with a semi-professional team will be debarred from taking part in any fur ther games of the league and any club playing such men will forfeit any games they may play. Probably by the time they intend leaving on Sat urday the manager of the Consolidat- ed may have to do some hustling and he may find out that certain players will not or would not play again under his management. The probabilities are that all the City league teams will have all their old players and possibly be strengthened by college players.

CONVENTION
OF PROMINENT EDUCATORS

schools was begun a few years
later, and for generations has been
developed by the brainiest men the
State has produced. In proportion
to population, Massachusetts, spends
more money for public schools
than any other State In the Union
and pays the highest average sal
ary to her teachers, notwithstand-
Ing the very liberal inducements
offered them by other States. Her
schools are the best equipped In
the country, being approached In
this detail only by those Of New
York State; and they are supp)4-
mented by free Libraries established
by individuals. municipalities and
the State representing an expendi-
ture of millions of dollars. The
FIRST In education. Massachusetts,
represents today the foremost, and
to her supremacy this great con-
vention Is deserved tribute.
Such a convention gaining In
spiration from such a source cannot
fail to be of great benefit to the
country. The exhibitions witnessed,
the demonstrations of methods lis.
tened to the address made and dis
cussions held must bring out many
new and profitable ideas to be car
ried by the instructors in attendance
back into their work. This con-
ventlon will be an education for
educators and the pupils In their
schools will In the end derive the
benefits. With such influences d.
work, the coming generations will
demand even greater advancement
In public schools education than

Thursday they play at Huntington,

home base ball enthusiast have had
new suits ordered for our home
team and they are expected to meet
the home team at Huntington
Thursday. The boys deserve new
suits and will no doubt appreciate
them very much.
There Is considerable talk as to
how our team will win out on Its
long trip from home. Many think
If they win half the games they will
accomplish wonders, Others think
If they win 3 out of the 13 gales
they will do very we'll. If the boys
have fair treatment and no costly
accidents or errors, we predict they
will win about 10 games at least
We have a crack base ball team
and there Is not an ameture team
In the State that can defeat them IN

The National Educational Asso.

the excellence of the public school
system of Massachusetts, which will
be on exhibition In all Its depart

the large attendance. From one

schools of Massachusetts, have long
been regarded by intelligent educa'

instructors have been In demand

States, that the desire to become
better acquainted with them has
animated every progressive teacher,
hence the great pilgrimage to Bos.

The National Educational Asso-
citation has met In the very birth
place of the American common
school system. AS soon as the
Pilgrim Fathers landed they offered
prayer, then built their homes, and
then established schools. Harvard

the Massachusetts system of public
