Lipton and shamrocL HI,

GOUROCK, Scotland, May 26.- While Sir Thomas Lipton is very confi- dent of winning the Americas cup, he nevertheless wants it understood that he does not regard it by any means certainty. sThe sport of the thing" said the baronet, Ties in the very un- certainty of it. I am as confident as I can be in this. am supporting MT.

Payne Says He Is Charged With Acc
 cepting Bribe.
 WASHINGTON May 26-Postmas- ter General Payne made the announce ment of the latest development in the post office investigation in formal brief sta tement as follows:
 Daniel V. Miller, assistant attorney in the office of the assistant attorney general for the post office department, is charged with accepting bribe for q decision in connection with case be- fore the department involving the fraudulent use of the mails by John J. Ryan & Go. The case has been in the hands of Inspectors w. J. Vickery of Cincinnati and R. M. Fulton of St. Louis for some days. Complaint was made by Inspector Fulton before 8 United States commissioner in Cincir- natl, and a warrant was issued.
 Another warrant has been issued for the arrest of a man who is charged with being the partner or a go between in the transaction. A post office inspect or has gone west from Cincinnati to effect the arrest, which is expected to occur today, The bribe is alleged to have been accepted at Cincinnati last December.
 Miller has waived examination and was released on s1.5OO bonds for ap. pearance next autumn. The warrant, it was learned, charges conspiracy in stead of bribery, as first reported A warrant on the same charge has been issued for the arrest of Joseph M. Johns, lawyer of Rockville.

At Hartford.

Hartford, May 26.--Governor Cham beflaineattend the baseball game yes terday, the Hartford lodge of Elks went down in a body, Colts band played ac- ceptably Steve Ashe made his reap pearance in players garb and Hart ford lost the game. When Steve Ashe made his very wicked decision in the game here with New Haven his con- science smote him so that he began to practice and asked to get on the team so he could make up for his mistake, by winning a game from the box. It would not be surprising if Tony Prick en were to ask for position on the Hartford team, although he may not have the conscience that NAshe has. While Hartford was squarley beaten by Meriden yesterday this fact is no excuse for the series of blunders made by Fricken who showed up worse than any other umpire seen here this sea- son.
 With all the fuss that Manager Reil
 Iy made to have the game gala one, it was unfortunate that his team could not have driven the Meridens off the diamond. There were several things that contributed to the success of the Meridens and the loss of the game is not begrudged, as it made the governor feel good. The Elks were taken in special trolley cars to within two blocks of the ball park and they walked the rest of the way headed by Colts band. There were about 250 of the Elks and the first through the turn stile were Colonel Graves and the es- quire, 1Tr Gallery. While the players

 Was Fast-Jim Haywood of Water

 Terry McGovern Is a Sick Man
 Jim Judge Whips Charley ORourke.
 The following is Holyoke sully's story of that game with Springfield yester- day:
 Nearly million good, sane Holyoke folks came down to Springfield yester- day afternoon to win the ball game. They went home last night acting like fit'candidates for the funny house over ill Northampton. To be sure the cen sus does not allow that there are mill lion people in Holyoke, but Dan O'Nell is authority for the assertion that there were nearly a million down here, and what Dan says goes. They didn't all play, but they all helped to win, for the exhibition of lung power far out shona the base ball exhibition on Hampden park.
 It was a great day for Holyoke and it's infants. There were juSt enough left 4here in the city to respond to the fire alarm and to take care of the kids. The city hall was locked up and most everybody had dead relations some where. After the game most of the dead ones were left in Springfield. Some one said Roger Connor was q dead one, but F. Frank Woodruff says that's neither nice or polite way or putting it. Gall him a good Indian, boys,' said the erstwhile captain, it means the same thing and it's not so likaly to hurt his feelings
 Now I want some one to tell it to me, quoth Dan O'Neil. If a man is too old to run bases, how long before he'll be too old to play ball? He re ferred to that instance when Bob Short was allowed to run for Roger Connor. Kid Mccormack queried as to Rogers age, for the Kid is a par ticu1ar little rascal and he cannot see the fitness of calling Roger pony. he says he is going to have look at the SpringAeld mana gers teeth and satisfy himself before the game in Holyoke Saturday morning.
 Ibid you see the knots we put in the human shoe string?' asked Rube Wick CTS. He was talking anent Cyclone Miller. the budding phenom who ex- ploded at the most critical juncture of the game. The Reuben, with his voice of deepest bass, is good for a berth in Holyol1e for many moons. He can get his meal ticket ahead of time if he but says the word, for he pitched fine baN. He was delighted over winning the game and he enjoyed the ride ne was given on the shoulders of the root CTS.
 Dan O'Neil was happy man when he was leaving the city last night. It was the first day he had the reins of the team and he held the race steady all the way until the Ponies were driven to a break When they stan- peded in the last part of the game his rllddy face was good to look upon. With ATcAndreWs back in the game, 7 he ejaculated stwe'H have them all skinned mile.''
 Everybody who made errors in the early part of the game was forgiven in the general rejoicing, and even Teeden did not mind the abuse heaped on him when he lost his head and allowed a run. The crowd went back to the Paper city giving vent to its enthusi- asm in the same old refrain that tells about the temperature booked for the old town. The score:

 PARIS, May 26.-M. Terry's machine was burned at Coignieres. but he and his machinist were uninjured.
 NJ. Rodolphe Darzens. and his nla- chinist were thrown out near Bordeaux and were practically unhurt., though, the car was destroyed.
 Louis Renault telegraphed as fol- lows:
 Marcel is better. Bringing him to Paris. Deny report of his death off, Gially."
 Bordeaux reports that many of the competitors, including NM. Charron, Thellier and Passy, desired to abandon the race, but others insisted that their honor required them to resume it at the Spanish frontier if possible, but the Spanish government later forbade the race and thus compelled its complete abandonment. Leading American and French autofnobilists all expressed hor- TOT at the series of accidents and added that in their opinion it would end speed races in France and at other points on the continent.
 Mme. Chayssas, accompanied by her husband, both riding bicycles, were watching the passing automobiles at St. Andre de Cubzac, twelve miles from Bordeaux, when horse frightened by the noise bolted and overturned the lady, who fell under racing automo- bile. Both her legs were cut off, and the bopes of saving her life are slight.

 By forbidding continuance of the race the French and Spanish govern ments have won the applause of press and public.
