At Norwich.


 Norwich, Sept 3.-The Philadelphia Atheletics visited Norwich yesterday and defeated the locals in a rather ordinary game to 8. Norwich batted we'll and 1elded without an error. A wild throw by Powers with no one covering second was of assistance to the home team in scoring their first run. The hitting was even for both teams, those of the visitors being punched in the second and sixth. Dan Murphy was accorded warm recep- ton the first time at bat and respond ed with a clean hit. Bender was hit quite freely, one-half the totals being made off him. The score: R.H.E. Norwich 10 o i o o 0 o 0--3 12 o Philad'phia 0 2 o 0 o 0 l 0-5 12 2

THE VENTURE WITH PATTI.
From with the Procession" in Ev- erybody's Magazine for September.

erybody's Magazine for september.
 A bold venture truly. is that of Robert Grau, who is bringing over Madame Adelina Patti for concert tour beginning next November. Five thousand dollars a night we are told the diva is to be paid. To get out even, the manager must charge grand opera prices for seats at the concerts. The question musical people, who have been hearing Melba and Nordica, and Flames and Lehman. and Seimbrich- who, by the way, is greater all- round artist than Patti ever was--will ask themselves, is: ''Is it worth the money?" MT Grau may have to make a considerable part of his expenses and all his profits out of the curious rather than the patronage of the really musi- cal

structor of the New Polo X. C., and Jack Munroe, the Anaconda nliner They are to meet tomorrow night in a limited time bout at Demlein's Music hall, Rockaway Beach.
 Willie Fitzgerald, the Brooklyn light weight. has been matched to meet Mike Ward of Detroit in a ten-round bout before the Port Huron Mich, A O. on September P. Fitzgerald was previously scheduled to meet Jack O'Keefe of Chicago, but could not agree regarding the weights. He will do his preliminary work at West Ba- den Springs.
 Terry McGovern's next fight will be with Chick Tucker, the featherweight of New York. The boys will be matched to battle before one of
 clubs in Philadelphia. Three clubs have made bids for the contest, which, of course will be limited to six rounds. The Washington Sporting club has bid 70 per cent of the gross receipts. the National A. c. 70 per cent and the h. dustrial Hall A. C.. 65 per cent. It is likely, however, that the Washington Sporting club will get the bout. as its accommodations are much better than the others.
 Now that he has found it difficult to induce men in his own division to meet him, Joe Cans announces that he will go out of his class and fight welter- weights. Cans is gunning for Martin Duffy of Chicago. He is willing to fight Duffy at 40 pounds, which is about five pounds more than he usually scales in his own class. This will not eb the first time Cans has emerged from the lightweight ranks to fight op- ponents heavier than himself. With the exception of Frank Erne and few others most of Gans's rivals have had the better of 1t in the way of weight.
 Fitzsimmons has been doing much talking about match with Jim Go bett It is extremely unlikely that he would want any of Corbett's game just at present however. Fitz, it is said, is not in the best Of shape just at pres ent, while Corbett is reported as being in good trim. Reports from San Fran cisco, sent out just before the heavy weight battle, state that Fitzsimmons became convivial Oh short proyocation. and showed n disposition to refresh his thirst in a manner he never displayed before. These reports seem to be true, and they probably account for the ex- tra weight which has now grown so evident that Fitz himself has to admit of it's existence. Tn a recent interview at New York he admitted to weighing 197 pounds, but blandly stated that he could still make the middleweight limit. So he could--bv cutting both his legs oft His weight was always kept secret but it is known that he was invariably many pounds heavier than he claimed to be. His statement that he weighed less +han 16O pounds when he fought Corbett is ridiculous. according to many spectators at the ringside. Competent judges, including all the expert sport writers, have agreed that he was within five pounds of Corbett's weight, or probably seven pounds less at the outside. If he and Corbett should be matched again how ever. q great battle ought to result. Whether there is any prospect for such a match cannot now be stated.

FAMOUS INSURANCE CASE.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The celebrated
Kansas insurance case, which grew out
Of the alleged death OF John w. Hill.
mon in that State in 1879, was today
sent back to the trial court for the
sixth trial. Hillmons life was insured
In the Connecticut Mutual Insurance
Company for $4,000, and when his
death was reported the payment OF the
policy was resisted on the ground that
he entered into conspiracy with 9TH
ers to disappear, have the report cir.
culated that he was dead. then substi.
ute the corpse Of another man, and
claim payment on the policy.
Hillmon disappeared while travelling
out on the plains with a man named
Brown, who swore that he had been
killed by the accidental discharge OF =
gun. The case has been in the courts
ever since. The Circuit Court OF APP
7eals for the Eighth Circuit at the las,
hearing decided the case In favor OF
the claim OF the widow OF the insured
nan, but the Superior Court reversed
he opinion on the ground OF error In
he trial.
The opinion was delivered by Justice
Brown, Justices Brewer and White dis
senting.

ST. Petersburg. Oct. Sit is learned
that in high official circles the belief
is rapidly gaining ground that a war
with japan Is desirable for many rea'
sons. The first reason is that the OF
fcials think Russia will never make
progress in the far east until Japan
has been effectually crippled. and. sec.
ond. that war would afford the best
excuse for Russia not To eyacuate
Manchuria now, while by the end oil
the war the situation would be so
changed that the United States AMI
the other powers would not demand
the evacuation. The military and
navy advocates are Of the opinion
that after brief campaign Japan
would be glad TO resign all pretensions
to the Asiatic mainland.
