NO BETTING ON SHAMROCK. The English Backers Want Big Odds
 Against Reliance.

The Englistn1an's usual faith ig anything British is not everf1owing or 'Shamrock's chances. The best he will do in a betting way is to take 6 to q. And he is not running after the odds, at that.
 F. H. Brooks. acting for a New York Stock Exchange firm, has offered to bet S1O.OOO to S5.O0o on Reliance against the challenger.
 Even Colonel R. c. Sharman- Craw- ford, vice commodore of the Royal Ulster Yacht club who will represent the club on Shamrock III during the cup races. wouldn't go any farther than this:
 sT will not say that I am sure of her success, but I am hopeful. Shamrock III is the best boat that we have sent over to try for the cup"
 Sir Thomas Lipton is confident that he will hoist the cup this time. When the wish is father to the thought, all Irishmen are sanguine; it is a national characteristic. Sir Thomas is an Irishman.

TOM REILLY IN DANGER
Struck a Boy With Stone in New

Struck a Boy With Stone in New
 Haven and May Be Sued.
 New Haven, Aug 11.-Thomas +. Reilly, manager of the Hartford base ball club, had d narrow escape from being assaulted by a big crowd at the ball game at Savin Rock yesterday afternoon.
 During the game MT Reilly sat on the Hartford bench and appeared to De very excited several times during the game. Just before the end of the ninth inning of the second game 3 crowd of men and boys crowded on to the field.
 While standing there watching the game they obstructed Manager Reil- ly's vision of, the field. and it is said that he ordered them back. AS they did not move he picked up some small stones and threw them at the boys to make theaA move. As this did not have the desired effect with one youngster. it is said that Manager Reilly picked up larger stone and threw it at the boy. Richard Pfeiffer. The stone struck the boy on the head and made a gash from which the blood ran down his neck.
 The crowd. having seen Reilly's ac- ton, made dash for him. but were intercepted by several Dolieemen who were on the scene. When the game was finished Reilly was escorted to a trolley car by the police. During the excitement the game was stopped and the Hartford players ran to the as sistance of their manager.
 It is expeArted that papers will be served on Manager Reilly in few days in a suit for damages. Consta ble Peter McNerney is acting for the boy. Richard Pfeiffer the young son of George Pfeiffer. of 15R Lloyd street and he stated last evening that a suit for damages would be instituted at once

R. F. Doherty, and H. F. Mahoney, re- gently arrived 10 take part in the matches, has perhaps displayed the best tennis shown yet in the east, and that only when forced out of his easy going stride to prevent the loss Of set Doherty goes at the game much like man playing for the pure animal enjoyment of it, leisure1y making his strokes and at peace with himself and the world. Once aroused, though, his speed ana steadiness are something re- markable and are some indication of the style of game the Americans are up against. His cross-court drives and smashes, beautifully And fiercely placed, are decidedly depressing to hls opponents. If in the international matches he has the ability to so vary his style from the easy strength-sav- ing game to the fierce. fast play therc is no doubt he could win the series, strength conditions being equal.
 In the tournaments so far played on the Metropolitan tennis courts this season little attention has been given the new service rule, more familiarly known as the foou-fault rule. which was made by the United States National Lawn Tennis association. Where the average American player is at variance with those who advocated the change is in that part of the rule which says: Tt is not fault if one only of the servers feet does rot touch the ground at the moment at which the service is delivered. He shall place both feet on the ground immediately before serving, and not take 3 running or walking start This will make it difficult matter for those players who were so fast at getting to the net behind their service to attain that position of vantage. It has been the force of thess aggressive tactics that has beaten the Englishmen from the old days of Goodbody down to the time of tho great competitions of last year, which witnessed the overthrow Of the Do- herty brothers.

 Haven--HartfordN Takes Two Gsmes
 From the Elm City.
 Holyoke, IAug 1.-It was a case of the tortoise beating the hare yesterday when the Springfield base ball team whitewashed Dan o'Nen's tribe at Hofyoke. The game took twelve in- nlngs, it is true, and both sides had divers opportunities 10 score, but the one run that the Ponies brought in in the third extra inning entities them to khe honor of shutting out the league leaders. The result of the game may be traced directly to the action of the Holyoke captain in the ninth inning, when he took Landy out of the game and put Rube Vickers in his place. Lsandy had been playing perfect ball in the field but his work with the stick had been of no use whatever. Fickers did worse than his predecessor at the bat and by tnudang Bowler's f1y in the kswlfth inning lost the game for the Paper city club. Bowler got to first on Rube's error, stole second and took third when Tansey sacrificed. J. Con nor batted to Kid Mccormick, who xrdsd to put out Bowler at the plate. There was plenty of time but the khrow was wild and the golden-haired fwirler had nothing to do but to walk the rest Of the Journey from third sEsA%sA Of the game. The score:
