SHAMROCK III. IS FAST.
Lipton'M New Challenger Shows Up
 We'll In Trial Race.

Lipton'M New Challenger Shows Up
 We'll In Trial Race.
 NEW YORK, June 29.-Shamrock III. has been given her first test in American waters in an informal trial with the Shamrock I. off Sandy Hook. Tn the first ten miles of fifteen mile beat to windward in very light air the new boat beat the old one about ten minutes and in run of fifteen miles to leeward nine minutes. After beating offshore from Scotland light ship for ten miles the Shamrock III. turned about and rejoined the older boat, after which they sailed down , along the Jersey coast past Long Branch and then squared away for Scotland lightship again. There was a long gentle sea, and the new chan lenger slipped cleanly over 1t, making little fuss under her bow.
 Taking into ton the asser- tion by English yachtsmen that the Shamrock I. is ten minutes faster in a thirty mile course than she ever was and fully as much faster than the Shamrock IT., the new boats first per formance on this side of the Atlantic marks her as probably the most dan gerous challenger Sir Thomas has brought over. Tn light air and smooth water she showed herself to be very fast. The chief purpose of the trial was to stretch the sails and resume the tun' ing up o9 the new boat.

 Results of Games Played in All
 Leagues.
 Holyoke, June 29.-Wade lost his game in the tenth by giving Clark his base on balls after two strikes. Clark scored the winning run on a hit by Foster. The game was marred by an accident at the close, ill which two men were badly hurt. At the finish the people in the grand stand rushed for the north exit and suddenly there was a collapse. About twelve feet of the grand stand gave way and dropped nearly 100 people fully ten feet into the basement below. John Buckley Of Holyoke was knocked unconscious and Joseph Toepfert of Elmwood had rib : broken. Many others were bruised. but fortunately their injuries were not serious. It is almost miracle that no one was killed. A great panic ensued when the stand fell, but it was quickly over. The score:

TWO SHOT IN A BALL GAME.
Gun Stopped Runner from Stealing Second-Umpire Killed Later.

56Couu--O lHplTe hllleQ Later.
 Atlanta, Ga, June 29.-As the result of base ball game on the Spain planta- tion near this city Saturday afternoon, in which strenuous tactics were intro duced, two negro players are dead and tie police are securing the sWamps south of here for the assailants.
 Sam Johnson, one of the crack play CTS for the Spain negroes, and Dick Edmondson, the umpire, are the dead. The names of the negroes who did the killing have not been learned.
 The game was a contest between the Spain negroes and those of neighbor- ing plantation, between whom there has existed a rivalry dating back to the tines of slavery
 The Spain negroes were getting the better of the contest despite heroic work on the part of their oppor cnts and their rooters. Tn the sixth inning, with the score to in favor of the Spain aggregation. Johnson reached first. He prepared to steal second
 The catcher missed the ball, the man at the bat stepping back and interfer- ing, it Is said. Seeing this. one of the anti-Spain rooters leveled his shotgun and emptied load of buckshot into Johnson just before he reached second base.
 In the excitement which followed the negro who did the shooting escaped Johnson was carried to one side and the game continued, but before 1t was over he died.
 Tn the eighth inning the score was tied, when decision of Umpire Ed mondson allowed one of the anti-Spain runrers to score. At this one of the Spain players, pulling pistol emptied three chambers into the umpire, killing him instantly.
 The game then broke up in free fight. in which nothing more serious was done than the cracking of few heads with bats. Ln the melee the sec ] ond murderer escaped.

RACES TO SELECT DEFENDER.
America Cup Yachts Will Sail Six .-sss4s Trial Spins.

sta x
 NEWPORT, R. l., June 29.- the first time since the rival cup yachts Reliance, Constitution and Columbia began the seasons racing they were all at their moorings in Newport harbor, fully prepared for a continuation of their interesting contests in the six races which have been arranged off this port on every day. this week by the New York Yacht club 8
 ,, While the days winner in each will probably receive some emblem from the club, the races have been planned more as test of the yachts in the open sea and in the strong winds which usually prevail at this point on the coast The contests will also have some bearing with the America's cup committee in the selection of defend CT of the cup against Shamrock III, although what are known as the official trial races will not take place until the last of next month.
 Up to the present time the three yachts have sailed eight finished races, and in each one the latest aspirant for cup defending honors, Reliance, has finished in the lead, although, owing to secrecy regarding the actual measure ments of the two boats, there is some question whether or not Constitution did not win two of them because of her smaller sail area, as in each case she was scarcely two minutes behind the Reliance at the line.

George Fisher. who was present at the recent contest between Max Bren- her of the Mott Haven A. O., and Max Luttbeg has issued a challenge to wrestle either Luttbeg or Brenner. Fisher will agree to throw Brenner three times in one hour.
 Dave Sullivan came near to defeat ing "Crockey'' Boyle with knockout at Philadelphia on Friday night. The pair came together for six rounds and, although the fight lasted the limit, Sul- livan clearly had the better of it all the way through. Boyle seemed to be the better boxer. The trouble was his blows lacked steam. He could not even make Sullivan vince. There was never minute when Sullivan was not forcing things. He was very effective with his body punches. Tn the fifth round Boyle made a rally, but could not accomplish anything.

AMATEUR NOTES,

The grounds should be called River side park not the Rye lots. The latter grounds were on Baldwin street for some years, but are now occupied by buildings.
 No protest of the game played be- tween the Brooklyns and the North Ends on Saturday will be made by Manager Madden. He simply would like to get a ruling on the play from some big authority and he has asked the president to send the play to Pres ident Pulliam for a decision.
 The meeting of the City league scheduled for tomorrow evening will be held on Thursday evening at the St Joseph rooms. There will be things doing on that evening which may be interesting.

Reports Are Plenty From the
 Fighters Ravens.

Jack, Twin" Sullivan, Would Like to
 Meet Jack O'Brien-Bob Fitzsim-
 mons Willing to Tackle George Gard
 ner-Eddie Connolly Tells a Funny Tale About the Referee in England.
 San Francisco, June 29-The twenty round fight which will take place on Tuesday night at the Mechanics pavil- ion, between Benny Yanger of Chicago and Eddie Hanlon of San Francisco, is exciting unusual interest, because the boys are so evenly matched, and both are sure to rush the fighting. Yanger has the advantage in experience, but HanlOn is fully his equal in strength and in boxing skill, though he is only IT years old. Hanlon fought draw with Young Corbett, though Corbett was not in perfect condition, and if he had pressed the fight would have had the champion out, as he was much fresher and stronger of the two at the end. Hanlon generally fights with elow crouch, and protects his head by drawing in his body, so that no man with an ordinary reach can land on him. Yanger has trained carefully, and is confident that he can wear down Hanlon should the fight be long. Bet ting is unusually heavy at odds of 10 to 9, with Hanlon favorite. This is wholly due to the fact that Hanlon is a local favorite as on form the betting should be at even money.
 Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia has re- sumed training for his fight with Kid Garter, which is to be held at Phila- delphia on Wednesday. He has To- cated at Fairmount park.
 Jack Sullivan, who lately arrived from England, wants a trial against Jack O'Brfen of Philadelphia. Sulli- van says that he can get the necessary backing if the contest Is arranged.
 Bob Fitzsimmons announces that he is willing to fight George Gardner for the lightweight championship. He says he is willing to battle before the club that offers excellent terms for the battle, and if Gardner succeeds in de feating Jack Root at Fort Erie on July there is little doubt that the match will be made. l ss
 Buffalo sports are much interested in llO OuGCU11C Ol lllC SOhlCot LySA wy Jack Root and George Gardner, which is to be decided at Fort Erie on July 4. Root has already arrived at Buffalo and is training vigorously for the en- counter. Gardner, who is also in that city, is working like beaver and has no fear of the outcome. Gardner is a. slight favorite in the betting, but no large wagers have been made so far.
 Eddie Connolly, who has been ex- changing thumps with English cham pions, tells this story anent the meth ods of the English referee in order to explain one of his battles there. Con- molly met Jack Palmer, the English middleweight, who scaled 15S pounds l to the Americans 142 pounds. Al though Connolly says that he should not have secured worse than a draw, the mill was decided against him. | .tHow do you figure out that he beat mel" said Connolly to the referee after l the mill. tI can't see where he did it. y Cant see where e beat you?' echoed the referee. "Why, man alive, didn't e it you the lawst punch?"

 President Pulliam of the National league said yesterday that he had not received the letter from Herman or Cincinnati in which the latter objects to Pulliam's action in the Davis case. Therefore, the president said he had nothing to say about the letter, but did say he would stand pat on his decision. It is understood that five of the Ma tional league clubs are with Pulliam in the matter, the five being New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Joe Kelly of Cincinnati has, by the way been suspended for three days for another kicking out break.

the Craze in That City.
 Buffalo, June 29.-This city is base ball made and yesterday some of the ministers took advantage of the craze. A religious meeting was held at Olympic park, the base ball grounds, yesterday afternoon, and it attracted about thousand people. Four Bap- tist and Methodist ministers were the sepakers.
 Last night the Rev E. E. Helms gave a sermon on base ball. in the course of which he criticised Arlie Latham and Tom Brown, who were once famous in the National league, and who umpired the game at Olympic park on Decora- ton day.

 Tn reference to the above game it might be well to say that some of the players criticized above were in no con- dition for a game of baseball. They had not been asked to play until the night before the game and some of them had not handled ball this sea- son. This ig particularly true of Bat ters, who went into the game to help out the management.
 There was but one player of the City Amateur league in that game either, although it had been heralded that the Consolidated team would be composed entirely of City league players taken from the various teams. The one player from. the City league who did play was Camp of the Washington Hills and it is understood the manage ment of the Washington Hills will now drop him from the team. Under the rules, he cannot play again with the City league, as he played on a team which money was paid.
 There were other things doing up at that game, too, for an attachment of $10O was placed on the gate receipts by the manager of a New Britain team, which had been guaranteed $2o for a game some time before that but never received it. The case is return able to New Britain on July 20.

The following account of the game in South Manchester on Saturday was taken from the South Manchester cor re spondence of the Hartford Courant:
 South Manchester, June 3O.-The Waterbury Consolidated team came on to the local diamond Saturday after noon with "Dan'' Cook as pitcher, but he was so badly pounded that the Man chesters piled up score of 23 to 2. Cook was not entirely to blame for the big score as Eaters at shortstop and Delaney at second base, Riley in left field and Pagan at third had an ''off day" The Manchester team was right up in line and they and the di- rectors of the baseball association de- serve credit The visitors scored their only runs in the first and made them through poor Judgment on the part of Rogers, the local catcher. Eaters and Cook scored. While the score would indicate an uninteresting game, yet it held the crowd, for some good playing was done The score by innings:
