TABLE OF PERCENTAGES.
At Greenfield.

Greenfield, Sept -Greenfeld's shutting out the Springfield league team in the game yesterday afternoon on Shuttuck park in that town filled the streets of the town last evening with smiling faces and the buzz of contented talk. The fast-playing little Greenfield organization put it's regular team on the diamond without changing a position, and the free lances general ly outplayed the visitors from the league. About 1,200 people watched the game, which proved full of interest and abundantly exciting, through the scarcity of runs. Hoar pitched right the game for Greenfield. and gave only three hits, two of which Joe lConnor secured. The Springfield bat ters cos1ld not pierce the Greenfield in- field. Greenfield played without an er- TOT. Rutherford at, short took ten chances without making mistake. and Ginley did especially strong work at third. The infeld made twenty-five of the put-outs for Greenfield. Raf tery was the only man on his side to get chance in the outfe1d, and he had only two. Two of the best plays were foul catches Wilbur at first got q foul from Connor's bat that went way to the ropes. and Curtis found foul fly back of the visitors bench.
 Greenfield scored the only run in the game Kelly got hit and went to hrst, Keefe sacrified to second, and Curtis came up and knocked slow bounder to first Connor fielded and had Cur tis out Kelly started from second with one of the 1iveliest sprints on the diamond Connor evidently had no idea that Kelly would dare to try for the home plate. but Kelly steered round the two reaches and got in safe. Then the people on the bleachers rose and shouted They had been on the edge of boards for six innings to see something of the sort happen, and when it happened on Greenfeld's side if made m event. After that inning inc game ended in one.two, three order on both sides Bowler pitched a steady game for the visitors. giving only one base on balls Springfield s hitting seemed weak to the Greenfield snectators and Greeufies5 outplayed +he visitors in the field and in base running.

Nevertheless Tan threw down his kings and lost ten cents. On the next hand he reaped S37 on one of tho spirit < manifestations by telegraph, which told him one man held a pair of fives, another bobtail flush and the other two pairs, kings up. He hinself held three trays.
 Well, as the night wore away the mysterious messages kept coming and Tan began to roll in wealth. Next morning he went back to Graneros with S1,737, all the three sports and he himself had at the beginning.
 When Tan got up out of his chair ono of the sports said. Well, hope you've got money enough to buy that dog some grub. He's been sitting there wagging his tail all night.
 "Tanquary looked up 'in a rather startled manner, for great truth was beginning to dawn on him. And he guessed right. The dog had been watching the other fellows hands. His tail was sandwiched in between two of the uprights in the back of the chair. As Tanquary stood looking ct the dog the brute's tail began wagging again, Tan listened closely and as the dogs tail struck the uprights of the chair the operator deciphered the let ters. The message was:
 " And we didn't do thing to them.s
 "Tanquary reached over and stroked the dogs head. He was mystified for awhile, and don't believe he ever did figure out just how it came about, but it's a well-known fact"

Meriden, Sept 3.-Meriden had no trouble in defeating New Haven yes terday afternoon 8 to 5. The home team fell on Hanaf1n early in the game and for the last six innings pounded his curves all over the Iot,. while on the other hand New Haven was unable to do anything with Hodges pitching and he had them at his mercy throughout, Cornell being the only bat ter who could do anything with his blenders.

7 f3r-> vERYBoDY down at Grancerog

skIT1 VERYBODY down at Granceros remembers Tan's pup" said
 the operator, as he flashed the picture of dog before the eyes of a Nashville American re- porter. q remember the dog very well. Tanquary was the operator down there when first came to Colorado. Graneros was made up of a battered box car that had been dumped at one side of the track. This served as a telegraph office, and it was a dreary place for the bravest man, and Tan got lonesome staying there.
 "One day some one sent Tanquary dog. It was mean-looking animal of mingled breeding, and 1t had a tail of the length, breadth, thickness and gen. eral outline of banana. But the dog was welcomed and soon made friends with the lonely operator. Tanquary taught the animal to go to the section foreman's hotel, where he boarded, and fetch his lunch, although the dog was at first inclined to take Roman holi- day with the food.
 "Tan also taught the dog number of tricks, such as standing on his head, to leap sideways, to chew tobacco and to smoke. The only picture have of the dog is the one where he is seen smoking. w {
 Although Tanquary taught the dog good many things the brute went on to learn many other things without the operators assistance The two grew more and more fond of each oth- CT, and once Tanquary came up to see if Denver was still here and he brought the dog with him. They had sundry adventures and finally brought up at poker game behind Wazee street barber shop. There three strangers had decided to gather in Tanquary's six months salary.
 '1hey played with great energy un- til the operator had reached the last dime in his pocketbook. He looked about him and his eyes fell upon his faithful dog, which had taken posi- ton on chair on the opposite side of the table Tan looked mournfully at the brute for minute, and then his love for the game overcame him and he said: 1
 If you are good sports you will let me put up that dog against dollars worth of excitement and we can go it little longer. Otherwise am out of it.
 tsTanquary told of the dogs accom- plishments and put him through few of his tricks. Something seemed to be worrying the dog, and 1t could be seen that Tanuuary saw his pet was not satisfied to masquerade as jackpot Well, the three gamblers consented to let Tanquary stake the dog.
 After that the game became one of life and death. Tanquary, after the draw, found himself possessed of two kings and the same number of tens All but one of the strangers fell by the wayside and Tan was getting worried about the single opponent, for the fel- low held up three cards. The operator weighed his hand and then sat silently gazing at the two pairs. Suddenly he heard sound, slow, steady tap-tap. Tan's telegraphic ear caught from the mysterious sound these Morse charac- ters:
 '' He has deuces'

 Holyoke, Sept 3.-The league lead CTS lost their third consecutive game to New London yesterday at Holyoke, and the wildness of Rube Vickers, with the inability of the whole team fo hit the ball, were the reasons for the defeat That the club couldn't handle the stick properly may easily be seen from the fact that that they batted only twice in the entire game, and the "Rube's' six bases on balls were disastrous Co the Paper City ag- qregation. He was sore from Tues days game and when the fans Jollied him a little he objected and played with little spirit. Though the felders gave him perfect support, with one ex- ception. he couldn't work himself up to his usual standard, and whenever the ball came near the plate the Whalers swatted 1t out for the field ITS to devour. The visitors them selves got only five hits, but they came at critical times and were responsible for tallying the men that Vickers's free passes placed on first. Long twirled effectively for the Whalers, and only McAndrews and Rossman had any luck in connecting with his twists and bends. The local club, however, did not score on these hits, but rather on the faulty playing of. New London.
 HolyolSe couldn't score until the sixth inning, and then it was by pc culiar combination of circumstances, and smiling Bob Drew. better known as Scissors" was largely responsible for it. He received a sharp reprfmand from his chieftain, Ramon, after the inning was ended. Long started the ball rolling by hitting Schincel and as yellow error by Murphy at shortstop placed Vickers on the initial pillow. McAndrews and Fitzpatrick expired, and Heine Batch tried hard to end the inning by high fly to Bob Drew. The ex-Meridenite waited for the ball to- fall, and when it reached his hands he dropped it before the smile of satisfac- tion had left his face. Schincel and vickers were across the plate, and the Paper City team was saved the dis grace of shut-out. There were a couple of double plays in the game that helped some and they were neat- ly executed, and aside from the wild ness of vickers the whole program was creditable exhibition of base ball, There was sharp fielding on both sides, and though the Holyoke outfield had little to do, their oppon- ents had their share of the work and did it we'll. Batch made some star catches in left and Kid Mccormack had his arm to throw to Slater, and though some of the balls were nasty ones to handle, the veteran didn't let a lining get past him. Rising and Finn did their work in good style, and Fal- lon was tower of strength with his nine assists. Some of them were bad ones to handle. but he didn't make an error in his total chances. Bob Drew didn't say a word on first, but he did things. and almost rivaled Slater in the way he gathered them in. Vickers added to his unpopularity by talking back to the crowd when they called him for his loose playing. The score:
