An effort was made to get John F. Gunshanan to officiate, but he declin- ed. J. H.

When they found that their hastv remarks had cost them half sawbuck each trey kept quiet. If the regular umpires would slap fine on Brother Joe every time he made one Of his foolish kicks that young man would not have so much to say.-- Hartford Courant.
 P. Frank Woodruff, captain manager of the Holyoke baseball club, was looking for Manager O'Rourke of the Bridgeport club last night. Woodruff says that recently he heard that O'Rourke wanted an infielder and sent the latter a prepaid telegram offering
 him the services of an infelder in ex- change for Joe Reagan, the former Bridgeport outfelder. who has not played league ball since 1901.O Rourke answered with "collect'' telegram and without saying anything about the infelder informed the Holyoke man. agement that they could have Reagan for $1oO. Woody thought he was do ing O'Rourke a favor and the secre-
 tary of the league took it that he was
 doing Holyoke a favor by selling a
 player who will not play under O'Rourke's management Reagan
 claims that he has not signed a con- tract with O'Rourke in three years, and the Holyoke people say that if
 this is so they will play Reagan with out giving Uncle Jeems $100 or 100 cents. Woody was particularly dis | gusted at receiving the "collect" tele-
 gram telling him how he could spend his money.

people who ride wheels solely for pleasure and at the old cycle shows there were male and female bicycle salespeopIe who could wrap the strings of earned bars about their bodies-bEt the riders who are seek ing to evade the strenuous century run w'ill take kindly to the new idea.
 "Talke a half century spin into the country say the officers of the as- sociations. sWear your evening clothes and do not attempt speed, or better still keep your wheel at your office and take half century spin after working hours"
 The bars to be allowed for these half-century spins are smaller than the old 100-mile bars. Still the pawn shops all over the country are load- ed with supplies of gold-plated cen- tury bars formerly worn by some cycling crank who did not stop garnering fresh bars until he had worn his body to framework of skin and bones. The new bars might be made of solid gold and they would be more readily sold.

 Over Springfield,
 Norwich, May 23.-After losing five straight games, the home team got to- gether again yesterday and defeated Holyoke in a game marked with no special brilliancy. Fitzpatrick's two ibagger in the first inning, a sacrifice to third and d hit gave the visitors the lead.
 The home team made three runs in the third from a hit by Bowling, the first man up, bases on balls to Rogers and Tighe, a cracking single to left by Anklam and long fly by Harrington, Norwich was in no danger of losing afterward, although the Reds played dope fielding game. Rogers made the first home run on the grounds this season.
 The Holyoke team was unable to find Mclean for consecutive hits. while Clancy was touched up lively on several occasions, the home teams hit9 ting being especially opportune.
 Errors by the Reds gave the visitors plenty of opportunities to go in and win the game with any ordinary stick work. The fielding of both teams was bad throughout the game. The redeeming work of Holyolke was the batting of Fitzpatrick.
 Murphy gave an exhibition of dirty ball (playing and was declared out for interfering with the Holyoke catcher. The umpiring was the best seen on the grounds this season and was especially refreshing to the fans, who have had nothing but Incompetent work this far, The score:

CUBAN TREATY SIGNED.
By Secretary of State zaIdo and Min
 ister s0uiers.

aster SQuiers.
 HAVANA, May 23.-The permanent treaty was signed at the office of the secretary of state instead of at the palace, as was the case with former treaties. The signers were Secretary of State Zaldo and United States Min ister Squiers. who were constituted special plenipotentiaries for that pur- pose by their respective governments The proceeding was devoid of all for malities, and even frock coats, usual on such an occasion, were not worn.
 Senor Zaldo and MT. Squiers simply met, accompanied by their secretaries, and the signing was accomplished and copies of the treaty exchanged within few minutes.
 The permanent treaty incorporates the entire Platt amendment into the form of treaty. The length of time consumed by the negotiations was principally due to the fact that the Cuban government desired to include in the treaty various extraneous con ditions, especially one to the effect that there should be no intervention in Gu ban affairs by the United States ex- cept through the initiative of the pres ident of Cuba. All these conditions were rejected.

CONSTITUTION IN TT.
Great Trial Race To-Day on Long Is-
 land Sound,

NEW YORK, May 23.It is official. ly announced by the New York Yacht club that the Constitution will be a starter in today's race of the ninety Hooters on Long Island sound, the sec ond contest of the present series.
 As soon as the mechanics of the Morse Iron works completed their re- pairs the craft was lowed up the sound to Glen Cove from Bay Ridge. The plates that were dented last Mon- day in an effort to haul the boat out at City Island have been straightened, and the sailors of the racer, with worklnen from the Morse works, have been furnishing and otherwise pre- pairing the under section of the craft for the trial race,
 The remarkable showing of the Reli- ance in the initial contest, in which the new boat defeated the supposedly in vincible Columbia, has lent zest to the speculation as to what she will do with the Constitution. The latter is won- der in light airs, but the test of the newer boat demonstrated her ability to be quite as ghostlike as the Constitu. ton under those conditions.
 There was general celebration at New Rochelle over the Reliance's splendid showing. There is so much enthusiasm among the townsfolk that the sailors are not allowed shore ib- erty. The air seems filled with de- sire to treat the crew with the over flowing spirits that abound. Every body seemed as much elated over the crafts victory as if she had defeated Shamrock III.

Rock Sand, favorite and piloted by Jockey "Skeets" Martin, an American, won this event quite handily. Second In the race was Flotsam, second choice in the betting and piloted by little Dan- ny Maher, who few years ago was a New York street gamin.
 All of the races yet to come in Eng land in which these two colts will be contestants will see this same order of mounts Martin on Rock Sand and Maher on Flotsam. Inasmuch as they are picked to ride one-two in the great derby, it begins to, loold as if the Brit% ish jockeys were going to play second fiddle again to Americans.

New London, May 23. Two close de- cisions by Caulifower in the seventh inning gave Bridgeport two runs that proved to be enough to win.
