 Of the members of the team, only two played in every one of the 1O4 games. Henry and O'Connor were the two faithfuls, while Tansey played in. 101. Berry leads the team in batting, althoughehe played in only twenty-nine games. Next to him comes Joe Con- nor, who played in ninety-three and has batting average of 2S6.

Joe leads the team in stolen bases, having forty-four to his credit and in sacrifice hits with twen- ty-one. Tansey and O'Connor are the only members of the team to pass the century mark in hits, Tansey having 1O3 to his credit and O'Connor 1O2. Roger Connor since he went back into the game has played well and ends the season with batting average of .27ol and fielding average of .o77.
 Manager Connor said he was sorry to leave Springfeld-he likes the town and the people. When he left Water bury to come to Springfield he sold. his home, planning to live here perma- nently, but he is now going back to. Waterbury, MT Connor has been thrifty during his long baseball ca reer and has Accumulated considerable property, so that he can retire from all business and rest, which he plans to do. "The people of Springfield have been very fair to me- he said last evening, ''and am sorry to give up the game here, but I have not been able to get a winning team, the kind Springfield ought to have, and thought I would let somebody else try it. I have felt that have lost the confidence of the baseball public, and there was not much encouragement for another year. I have been at it so. long, too, that I am ready to quit. have tried to give Springfield strong baseball team, but it is not an easy matter to get good players for league of this kind"

MAJOR DELMAR's FAST MILE.
Trots in 2:OoA Unaided By Wind Shield Device.

Boston, Sept 15.-Seven thousand persons saw the greatest of trotting geldings, Major Delmar, fail in his at tempt to beat his record of 2O0A with the initial days racing yesterday at the Breeders meeting over the Readville trotting course Alta McDonald's s horse covered the circuit in 2:OOA The conditions for an assault on Father Time'' could not be improved upon, there being no breeze and the atmosphere being even warmer than on the afternoon that Lou Dillon did her remarkable performance.
 An innovation was tried in the way of receiving pace from an automobile. Because of sickness to one of the rum hing horses which was to be used in the attempt against the record, Mo Donald accepted the pace from steam carriage for the first half mile; then a running horse set the pace. The auto Nat no time got in front of the trotter, so that he got the full effect of what breeze prevailed. The first quarter was trotted in 3OA seconds, the half in 1:OO1a, the quarters in 1904 and the mile in 2:0OA.
 Mcdonald when seen after the trial
  best, and stated that the running horse did not get to moving fast enough in the backstretch He also said that if the pair of runners which gave pace for him at Syracuse had taken part in the attempt this afternoon he would. no doubt, have beaten two minutes.
 Three of the four favorites in the regular events won. Totara, one of J. Malcolm Forbes's youngsters, won the two-year-old stake race in straight heats. Tn the four year-old stake race, Margaret Bathgate surprised the bunch by beating the field, including Judge Green, who was favorite. Ma jor won his fourth consecutive victory. Locander was the contender each time and Cox's horse took a mark of 2:04. Promise was the favorite in the 2:13 trot and there was nothing to it when Andrews let him loose.

RUSSIA MUST LEAVE
Britain and Japan Will Urge
 That Promises Be Kept.
MANCHURIAN DISPUTE IN THE EAST

No Postponement Will Be Allowed
 Czar Government In. Carrying Out
 Agreement Made to Withdraw
 on Date Fixed n Year Ago.
 LONDON, Sept. 15.--Japan and Great Britain have exchanged views on the latest demands made by Russia on China, and they have decided to protest separately to the Picking government against their acceptance.
 In case this should prove fruitless and Russia continues her occupation of Manchuria, Japan proposes to break off the negotiations with Russia for definition of their respective rights in Manchuria and Korea and to demand of the St. Petersburg government that it order the evacuation of Chinese ter ritory. @ We cannot permit the postponement of the evacuation said high Japa- nese authority, flor Russia would util- ize the additional time to strengthen her fleet and army in the far east. Al ready her naval tonnage there is equal to ours. Public sentiment in Japan is deeply stirred by Russia's failure to carry out her promises to evacuate Manchuria and demands the withdraw al of her troops on the date fixed a. year ago." 3ya
 A report from Peking says that Chang Shi Tung, director of commerce, is urging the ministers to use their in fuence with Prince Ching, the presi- dent of the foreign office to reject the latest Russian proposals regarding the TT Ha that Ching will accept them unless pressure is brought to bear on him.
 M. Uchida, the Japanese minister at Picking, has warned Ching against the acceptance of the Russian propositions.
 MT. Conger, the American minister, and Prince Ching have agreed that the port on the Yalu river to be opened shall be Antung instead of Tatungtao, naval reports showing that Antung has the better harbor.

PUSHBALL NOW A RIVAL.
Athletes Say It Has Advantages Over
 Other Football.

Pushball. comparatively new sport is gaining in favor among athletes, and will be played in many places this fall and winter. It possesses one merit that does not fall to the lot of most sports, it can be played either outdoors or inside.
 The game is something on the order of football, except that the ball is six feet in diameter. In fact, it was first devised to do away with some of the objections to football. the object of at tack and defense, was constantly lost sight of by the spectators.
 It is played with eleven men. The fastest five are used as forwards, sup ported by four wings, and these in turn by two goal-keepers, the strongest and heaviest men on the team.
 The ball is set in midfeld, and each line of forwards is placed twenty yards back. At the signal of play balT' there is. a twenty-yard sprint in the effort to reach the ball first and get the advantage of starting it into motion.
 The wings follow on the heels of their forwards to add their weight and support.
 The rules permit tack1ing and shoul- dering, but are strict against rough play. t...- s...
 Consequently, the side that can ef. fectively interfere with it's opponents and at the same time maintain control over the direction of the ball is the side that will win.
 In the effort to advance the ball it is frequently lifted over and clear of the other line.
 At every point the fast man has his chance, but he needs to think fast as well, and more than all he needs the support of his ten mates. This is not a one-man game. which is still another point in it's favor.
 As yet the game is new, and many of it's possibilities are speculations, as the vagaries of the ball quite freohent- ly upset calculations as it goes off on a tangent and leaves the players to fol- low it.

Football Candidates at Yass Gtt to
 Work Yesterday.
 New Haven, Sept 15.--With the mercury at nearly ninety, the nucleus of Yale's football squad for this fall began work on the Yale field yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Eighteen candidates reported the majority of whom bore rather ''beefy" appear ance.
 On the field were Coach George Chadwick, Mike Murphy, Captain Raf- ferty and Al Sharpe, to care for the men. Among the better known men in the squad were seen Ralph Bloom CT, the giant tackle on Gordon Browns team. Ralph Kinney and Bowman, of last years regulars and many of the second team of last season. The men were all fitted out at the gym" with khaki uniforms, and but few of them wore last years togs. The field has been resodded during the past summer and now is in ideal condition. Nothing remains but the marking to put it in readiness for the game with Trinity on September 26.
 The work of the afternoon was car ried out in spite of the excessive heat Fifteen minutes Of punL1ng ana catch ing punts was followed by a turn at falling on the ball. The linemen and backs were gathered in two squads, and practised at starting. The after noon's work ended with a short run.
 While the problem of the coaches seems to be the finding of center trio, they have to all appearances good ma- terial to work on. Cartwright and Smith, of last years freshman team, with Morton and Bloomer, make up a quartette which, in weight at least, is equal to any four of the heaviest of last years line men.
 Cambridge, Mass Sept 15.-Har- yards team will be led by Carl Mar shall this year. He has played on the varsity for two years and also display ed great form on the Harvard fresh man team. He has played quarterback for two years, and while he has never been compared with Daily, Harvard's famous quarterback of 1898 and 1899, he has been generally rated as a clever handler of a team.
 In the Harvard Yale contest last fall he made three or four bad fumbles, which proved very costly to the Grim son. But for this tendency to handle the ball poorly he would have attained

T~hirty-seven years ago the beautiful

The ex-empress has been confined for
many years in the Chateau de Bonchat,
near Brussels. For-years she has made
pathetic pretense of holding court, order
