 Leagues.
 Holyoke, May 13.-Last years cham pions were an easy proposition for the coming pennant winners on Springdale park yesterday afternoon. The score of 12 to just about indicates the rela- tive playing strength of the teams, for it was as good as three-to-one shot all through that defeat would be chalked up against the wearers of the blue. Though the errors made by each team footed up to the same total, the mis- plays of the visitors proved more cost ly, as the Holyoke hitting was timely. McAndrews, the first man to face the pitcher in the game, was sent to first on four wide ones. Fitzpatrick sacri- feed and fingered long enough on the line to fool Ahearn into an attempt to go after him, so that McAndrews got to second without difficulty and scored when Ed Slater caught the ball for neat single. New Haven failed to get a man around in it's half and the three Holyoke batters went out in order in the second. Ahearn's triple to left re- suited in a run, as Hall hit safely with two men out in the last of the second. Fitzpatrick put piece of his anatomy in front of one of McGuire's shoots in the third and walked to first. Slater took first on fielders choice and both scored on Woodruff's drive that was dropped by Fftzmaurice. Holyoke got another in the fourth and three more in the fifth Three hits, one a three bagger by Batch, with a base on balls to Slater, who promptly stole second, were responsible for the runs in the fifth. Four hits in the sixth netted two more runs for the nome team, and it was all over but the cheering. In the meantime New Haven plodded along without run until the fifth, when Hall came to bat again and led off with a double The Holyoke players began to show some of the pleasures off har- monious discord and mixed it up for three errors in a bunch, so that both Hall and Connell scored. The scoring for New Haven ended in the seventh, when another hit by Hall had run as its sequel. but Holyoke was not satis- fled and added three to it's total, in the eighth as a clncher The score:

Terry McGovern evidently does not thing seriously of his coming mill with Abe Attell, or else hitch has arisen between the two regarding theFmatch. According to previous announcement the bout is to be decided at Fort Erie on Memorial day. McGovern was to have started work yesterday, but he was at the race track instead. Me- Govern says that he will need only two weeks to get in shape for Attell.
 Jim Corbett has already arrived at San Francisco and has completed ar engagements for his twenty-round fight with Jim Jeffries, which is to be decid- ed next August. He will stay at~San Francisco for two or three weeks, then he will go to Alameda, where he will take up a course of real hard work.
 Jack Mccormick of Philadelphia has joined hands with Marvin Hart and will act as the Louisville fighters chief trainer and sparring partner. .McCor- mick thinks 2 great deal of Hart's ab1l- ity as fighter and predicts that he will be the heavyweight champion in- side of two years.
 Jack Johnson, the crack western heavyweight, made his first appearance in six-round bout. on Monday night at Philadelphia against Joe Butler, an- other negro, of that city. Butler and Johnson were to have met for six rounds, but Johnson took Buffers measure with ease from the start and knocked him out in the third round Johnson became involved in an argu- ment with one of Buffers seconds be- fore the mill. Johnson evidently for got all about the incident and went to his dressing room much elated over his vistory. Juct as he stepped into the room some one struck him over the head with a bottle. The blow render ed Johnson unconscious. The club physician, who examined him, after ward, said that he was only suffering from a slight scalp wound. Harry Burke, one of Buffers seconds was ar- rested for yielding the bottle. He has denied the charge.

all but one inning and won the ganfsl for his team.
 Manager Kennedy of Meriden yes terday dispensed with the services of Riddlemouser and George Courtney. Riddlemouser's work was not up to the Meriden standard and the score card printers found fault with his name. Manning will play second until a more suitable player is secured T.
 Clancy was in the box for Holyoke and was hit freely at times, but he managed to keep the hits fairly well scattered, and when New Haven did connect, sharp fielding usually prevent ed scoring. Clancy had neither the curves nor the speed that he exhibited in Hartford Friday, though the game was not close enough to call for any, Springfield Union.
 Henebry and Muhigan had a very bad day of it, and the cranks began to guy the lanky first baseman toward the end of the contest. This didn't help matters much as 1t only tended to make the man still more nervous and fretful. Baseball cranks, how ever. are not prone to display much mercy, and players will have to resign themselves to the fact.-springfeld News.
 The brilliant fielding features of the game were contributed by Kid McCor- mack on third base. The little fellow made two startling stops, one of which seemed impossible, and on both occa- sions whipped the ball over to first with such speed that the spectators rose to their feet and yelled. Ed Slater did an elegant job as custodian of the first corner, and is now just as popular with the cranks as any man. on the team Springfield Union. r..
 In fielding the team showed improve ment over Monday, but still did not give Goldie gilt-edged support. Multi gan and Henebry have lost a little of that nervous feeling you read about in the patent medicine ads and acquitted themselves creditably. George dropped the ball on one occasion and had an error charged up against him and Fred fumbled hot bounder just over the l third bag. Outside of these two errors the boys did nicely and showed that they will soon fall into line and do their share in making the Springfield infield the fastest in the league 1 Springfield Union. | Grandpa O'Rourke seems to be able to look after Beaumont's case well enough, because he is personally in- l terested. If he would devote some of | his spare energy to making kick against the teams that are under agree ment but play Sunday games with teams made up largelyHof men who are ! outlaws and thus furnish them with means of support, he would be work ing more for the interest of the Con- necticut league. Men like Linderman, Cusick and others who do business around New York, would be brought to their, oats in short order. As long as they can make plenty of money in Sun
 day games with the aid of the National league and other teams that really have no right to play with them, they can give managers who. have a right to their services merry laugh. The con- tract jumpers couldn't make the busi- ness pay if they had to play with inde- pendent teams, and it ought not to be very hard thing to cut off their reve- nue.-New London Day.

sprigfield, May 13.-In a fast, clean game Springfield defeated Bridgeport yesterday afternoon, 3 to i. The er- TOTS made by the teams were excusable. Bowler had perfect control and but three scattered hits were made from his delivery. Corcoran was touched up rather freely, but managed to pull out of several Lad holes when men were on bases. The feature of the game was the fielding and batting of Berry. O'Rourke of Bridgeport was in the game for the first time this sea- son. Score:

At Hartford.

Hartford, May 19.-Jack Tighe and his maroon-clad band from the Rose of New England came re yesterday, says the Courant, and made their 1903 debut. They did not debut very much, for up to the eighth inning their search for hits off Smiling Bill was like looking for the eggs of the great auk in the tall upas trees. Smiling William let, down trife in the eighth round of the engagement and there was a hur- ricane of swats that made the timid ones shout for another pitcher. Luby, however, was not worried and in the final inning bowled the batsmen over in jig time. Hartford won the game by the same score as that of the pre- vious day, and 5-4 tally when 1t is on the right side of the ledger bids fair to become popular in this town. The score: ...
