The difficulty about the plural of
words for different kinds OF fish is not
solved by photographers any more
than by grammarians The Oxford
dictionary says Of the word cod" for
example, that the plural is rare, and 1t
gives quotation from a writer OF the
seventeenth century in which occur
both "codds" and "salmons" During
the last few years we have several
times seen trouts as the plural Of
trout. DIR. Murray quotes from Izaak
Walton, "three brace Of trouts." And
there is, of course, Hoods use, in the
Dream Of Eugene Aram," Of sroutlets
like troutlets in a pool BY the
way. DR.. Balm. in his excellent gram
mar, says that the collective plural,
salmon, corresponds to q class of neu-
ter nouns which lost their (nomina-
tive) plural infexion in the Oldest
English. And then-there is and are
"sheep."-London Chronicle.

GROUNDS AT HoLYOKH.
Base Ball Directors Decide on New
Field for Next Year.

Base Ball Directors Decide on New
Field for Next Year.
The Holyoke base ball club is to have
new grounds next year. This was de-
cided at q meeting of the owners Sun
day. All OF them were present at the
meeting excepting Dan O'Neil, who is
out of town.
For a long time there has been dis
satisfaction among the owners and it
has grown so Of late that it was de-
cided that next year it would be differ
ent. The present grounds are too large
to be controlled. AS result, although
the management has more police than
any other city in the league, four times
in fact, hundreds "skin in every game.
The number is constantly increasing,
and the police for some reason, have
been unable to stop it. Lately many
men grown are seen running across the
field to avoid paying their admission.
1t has been a source Of much trouble to
the management.
The situation was talked over for two
hours and it was finally voted that new
base ball grounds would be built next
year which the club would have alone,
so the management is to look over
available sites and select one. A COM
mittee of three, headed by President F.
II. Prendeville, was elected to look over
the sites and ascertain the cost of the
putting up of fences and stands to re-
port at meeting to be held soon. The
contractors will be asked to put one
up with half circle grandstand, so
that there Will be a good sight Of the
field from all over it. There will be
bleachers on both sides OF the field, and
the management intends to open next
year with the finest ball field on this
circuit.

WILL IT GO ABROAD?

The approaching international lawn
tennis competition again raises the
question of comparison between the
English methods and players and those
of this country Carefully analysed,
the development of the sport inFfhis
country has been greater than has
been the case abroad. Here, the top
class men have been ever ready to
adopt new strokes and work out Origi-
nal combinations along the line of the
attacking game. In fact, in this coun-
try aggressiveness seems to have
counted for everything, and in this
particularly the American players are.
decidedly superior to the English. On
the other hand, when placed on the
defensive, the Britons know how to
keep an imperturbable steadiness that
has an exasperating quality. Espec-
tally was this true in the case Of
Goodbody, at Newport, in 1894, when
it resulted in his defeating such men as
Larned, Hobart and Hovey, winning
the tournament and only missing the
championship, because of his defeat
by Bob Wrenn.
The challenging team of Britons
for this years competition for the
Davis cup unquestionably shows great
er strength and ability than either Of
the two teams that have competed for
that trophy in the past. The Doherty
brothers, because Of their recent per-
Torrance, and more particularly the
carrying before them of the champion
ships in both singles and doubles on
the English courts, have demonstrated
that they are superior to any of the
former title holders, which list con-
tains the names OF such formidable
tennis experts as Renshaw, Gore,
Smith. DR. PIN and others. Those
who have witnessed the recent play
ing Of the Dohertys this season, re-
port that their game was much i'm
proved after their visit to the United
States last year,. p. Allen in the
Illustrated Sporting News.

New York, Aug 5.--Lloyd Jevne, the

the contest will be finished tonight.
They were slow in getting under way
last night, Barutel being the first to
count with natural OF four cush-
ions. Both men were bothered several
times by kisses. The score was to
in Jevne's favor at the end Of the six
teenth inning.
A cushion-first shot of peculiar trac-
ing by Barutel in the twenty eighth in
ming brought out applause and made
Barutel's total for the night just dou-
BILE his opponents, 1S to being the fig
ures. Jevne made one of the same sort
soon afterwar6 Barutel reached the
halfway mark first, having % points
to Jevne's 20. In his fifty fifth inning
the Frenchman made his second run OF
4. Jevne smacked the balls hard for
a run of 3, longdistance counts, and
followed with two more, after which
he was nine behind on the evening.
Jevne gave his opponent doses Of
safety near the finish. and playing
strongly himself closed the gap rapidly.
His last run was one OF 4, and then
Barutel went out. the nights winner
by one point. with a three-cushion
bank. Totals for two nights, BaruteI

NiSuL MGGlluS.
A regular meeting of the City Anna,
teur league was held in the rooms of
the st Joseph society last evening, and
all clubs Were represented with the ex-
ception of the Brooklyns. There was
considerable discussion over certain
matters connected with the league and
everything was nearly Strengthened out
for the opening of the third and last
series, which takes place next Satur-
day.
One matter which came I'D for de-
bate was the game played last Satur-
day between the Pastimes and the Mer-
rimacs. The game as reported last
Saturday was ended in favor of the
Merrimacs by the score Of 6 to 5. Man.
ager Joe Kelly of the Pastimes stated
last night that the game was a tie. to
8, and that one run scored by the Pas
times was not credited. Manager Bob
Hayes disputed this point and the mat
ter was left over until the next meet
ing, when the official score will decide
it.
The secretary was also instructed to
secure two new official score books.
which will be used at each game. and
the official umpire will have the an

league by one game and the st JOS

BARTENDERs WALKED
Waterbury Mixers Refused to Ride to
Renbschler's Park on Trolley

Waterbury Mixers Refused to Ride to
Rentschler's Park on Trolley.
The ball game at Rentschler's park
yesterday AFTERNOON between the mines
of Waterbury local 254 and New Brit
ain local 1855, had some erratic features
and side plays. says the New Britain
Herald. The Brass City aggregation
Of the compounders of tintillating mes
sages We're a stubborn lot. They
walked to the park from force Of habit,
declining to have anything to do with
the trolley. AT the park they spotted
the fact that the young man at the re-
freshment counter did not display the
blue button attesting his membership
in the union. They put up protest.
The bartender explained that his ap
plication for membership was In, bu,
he had not been year at the business,
so his election was held up. Ihe un
ionists of Waterbury refused to COM
promise and Conrad Wahrenburger set
his man to slicing ham while he threw
the malt himself.
There were 400 people present to see
the ball game and while the men were
actually playing there was amusement
enough TO go around. The visitors
have regulations as ball players and
wore real suits. The only semblance
to a uniform on the New Britain team
was in the case of Captain Mickey
Lambert, who was attired1in sweater
and baseball suspenders. John Willis
and Bob Tyler were selected to umpire.
In the first inning Dobe FItzsimmons
dropped a fly and two Waterbury men
scored New Britain got one in its
half OF the game and things ran along
smoothly until the fourth. Billy
Roche was in the box for 1865 and he
kept the Brass City hitters cutting
wide swaths in the park ozone, but his
catcher, Lacey OF Bristol, was not in
good form, and three strikes were
som etimes as good as a hit
In the fourth inning a decision by
Umpire Willis a very proper one, too,
did not suit the men from Boycottville
and they made a rush at him. Johnny
broke them with his ring SMILE but
they gathered again and when they be-
came abusive the debonair master Of
the ring politely informed the visitors
that he would witness the remainder
of the game from the grandstand. Mr.
Willis was so absolutely correct in his
interpreta tom of the rules that he was
applauded. Bob Tyler sustained the
brunt of the argument after this epis-
ode and there were frequent gatherings
on the diamond for discussion
In the meantime New Britain got a
batting streak on. With three men on
bases Billy Roche hit the ball a mile
and four runs were scored. This was
in the fifth. The bases were again
filed in this inning, but Roche could
not bat again and McCue of Bristol
struck out In the sixth Cramer for
New Britain made a catch of high
fly and fell down. but held the ball
aloft. Waterbury changed it's pitchers
about this time, but New Britain hung
onto dts lead.

two bases and came in ON Cramer's hit

THE PUGILlSTS.
Young Corbett and Tommy Sui
Ivan May Not Meet

Corbett Does Not Seem to Be in Any
Hurry-Terry McGovern Says He
Has Not Retired from the Ring
Austin Rice After More Battles.
From present indications it looks as
Young Corbett and Tommy Sullivan on
August 10, as scheduled. Both have
signed articles OF agreement to meet
before the West End A. G., st Louis.
Young Corbett was to have left for st
Louis on Monday, but Is still in the
east. What Is more, he has not started
In to train, and it seems as IL he will
ask for postponement or call the
match off altogether. This is the sec
ond time the scrap has been deferred.
Terry McGovern announced yester-
day that there was no truth in the re-
port that he had quit the ring. Terry
declares that he will keep on fighting
until he Is too old to do so. Next fail
and winter / expect to meet all COM
ers," said the ex-champion. Il want
to get back again to where used TO
be, and in order to do SO ! must hgilt
my way to the top. | will meet ADO
Attell first. then will take on Benny
Yanger, and II defeat both Of these
pugilists I will try to induce Young
Corbett to give me another chance. No,
Terry is not going to retire. ! like
fighting too well for that"
Austin Rice was rather disappointed
with the failure of Marty McCue to
meet him in Derby LAST Friday night
and his fighting blood Is up. He mas
been at work on his farm IN Cohanzie,
resting with an idea Of beginning bis
fall campaign right. Rice Is trying
now to get on a match with Aurelia
Herrera, who is doing some boxing In
the west. Abe Atteil is another OF
Austin's proposed opponents and he
has offered to meet that boy before Q
half dozen clubs in the middle west at
122 pounds. Rice's idea in starting
out this fall Is to get on a number Of
MATCHES In Tie west and make cir
cult of the big cities there where box
ing is fourfshing.
