THE DIAMOND.
New Haven Trims Holyoke's
 Sails in Good Battle

Both Pitchers Were in Excellent Form
 In Spectacular Finish Hartford
 Wins from New London-Meriden
 Had An Easy Time With Norwich
 Springfield Takes Ten Innings to
 Beat Bridgeport.
 Holyoke, May 28.-Holyoke dropped into second place yesterday by losing to Handsome Jimmie Canavan's cham pions in the best exhibition of the na- tional game that has been seen on Springdale park this season. Inabil- ity to connect with the assortment of curves served up by Perkins was re- sponsible for the Ho1yoke defeat, for the visitors were able to score in but one inning, and then only three runs were marked on the board.
 The champions did not have much on Holyoke either, in the way of hit ting. J. E. Bass, a new recruit to Manager O'NeiIs pitching staff, was in the box and acquitted himself with credit. Just one of the five hits he allowed figured in the run getting, but that was 6 double and it came after Bass had passed Cornell and tried to put the ball clear through Bone. As Batch had already made an error, the bases were filled in this inning and Hall scored on Haywood's fly, which Batch captured.
 Both teams played sharp ball in the field, for the only incidents that in any way resennbled errors were those which are credited in the score. FftZn1aurice carried off the fielding honors by tuck ing away six that went into his terri tory and Bone gave evidence of what he can do when in the sixth inning he made circus catch of a drive from Woodruff's bat. The ball was tagged for tyHo bases and Bone did a sensa- tional loop -the-loop act in making the catch after heafIong drive.
 Aside from poor throw by Perkins there wasn't as much as suspicion of a tumble on the part of the visitors. They played championship ball at ev- cry. stage of the game and there was not time when Perkins did not get great support. Perkins himself was a trif1e steadier in his work than was Bass. but otherwise the new man whom Dan ONeil has looked over and pronounced good, pitched ball that will win three out of every five games.
 Manager sO9Neil also tried out arloth- erer proposition in yesterdays game, the hopeful this time being Jack Me Lean of Holyoke, who thinks he can play the short field. At the close of the game there were others who thought so, too. for the little fellow handled himself well all through and got one of the three safe drives made by Holyoke. He started fast double play and is an improvement on Landy if he can keep the pace. Fortune was kind to the new inf1elder, too, for Ga rolan calledsa runner out when he was easily safe after Mclean had fumb1ed.
 Captain Fitzpatrick played "a star game for Holyoke, a game far faster than the score shows for him. Weeden failed to get good throw to second during the game, but Fitzpatrick was there every time and saved runs by his clever captures of wild ones. Ed Slater had a big afternoons work on the corner that he guards and showed considerable familiarity with the sci ence of batting, getting two hits and sending the ball to the outfeld on his other two trips to the plate. The score:

THE PUGILlSTS.
Joe Walcott and Billy Smith
 Meet To-Night.

Old Rivals in the Ring Who Have Had
 Many Battles-Terry McGovern and
 His Four Beds Resulted in the Ar
 rest of Proprietor.
 Joe Walcott and Mysterious Billy smith will come together again for twenty rounds in, Portland, Ore, to- night. This pair, the toughest and toughest propositions in the ring, have fought half a dozen times and it has been a pretty even thing between them. Since their last battle at Hart ford, Smith has kind of side-stepped the boxing gloves and devoted his tall ehtS to running sailors boarding boarding house in Portland. And he has talents that eminently fit him for a job of that sort. Those who will see the go tonight will get their moneys worth. These two never indulge in any pink tea affairs. They do every thing to each other but scratch, and they would do that if their hands were Z bare. Coming to New York on the train after their fight in Hartford-it was a draw-Smith pulled the bell cord, and, as the train was slowing up, invited Walcott to go with him out into the woods and settle there the question of their supreniacy, although Smith didn't put it that way. What be did say was something like this: tsYou black stiff, come out there and I'll knock your head of. can make a meal Of you and you know it." Wall colt declined the invitation. Now, MT Smith, Walcott never neglected to cali everybody .sMr''-''you know. that would be foolish. We don't get .noth- ing for that, and. fighting is what buys the baby's shoes"
 If Terry McGovern had only slept in four beds at once the chances are Edward Johnson, proprietor of the Johnson house. 170th street and Jerome avenue, would never have been arrest ed for excise violation. McGovern, though something of wizard, was un- able to perform this feat, hence John. sons woe. Two of the very youngest of Greene's detectives--Lamb and Le- vine by name-visited the Johnson house Sunday. Lamb took glass of swhiskey. Levine took a glass of beer. .Forty cents altogether" said the bar Stender The extra 20 cents was for two sandwiches at 10 cents for each. Then the gum shoe men walked through the house, counted the number of bedrooms and said there weren't enough to come within the hotel re- auirements This was because Terry McGovern, renting four rooms, took 1 the beds from three and used the apart nents as his training quarters. Magis- trate Hogan, in Morisania court dis charged Johnson and lectured Greene's young detectives.

CATS STRANGE FAMILY.
Michigan Pussy NOurishes Tiny R@fs
 Along with Her Own BountifuI @ Lot of Kittens.

The following story from the Phiia- de1phia Press points its own moral. It is unique of it's kind.
 Four weeks ago a cat, the property of Hans Hansen, a grocer, of Muske- gon, Mich, gave birth to litter of kittens, Mir. Hansen was making some alterations in his store, and three days after the kittens were born the labor CTS who were excavating for 8 cellar foundation discovered a nest of young rats, whose mother had evidently been frightened away from them by the on- slaught of the shovelers.
 The men decided that the young rats would make a nutritious feed for the mother cat and, collecting them, they carried the vermin to the empty bin in

Chriatening a RaiIrxax.

Engineers are, as rule, sternly utili- tarian, but there are occasions on which they indulge in sentimental practices. One of these, occurred the other day on the completion of the first transcontinentaI railway in Africa. When the plate-laying gangs from Blu luwayo and Salisbury. respectively, came within 20 chains of each other a telegram was sent to the contractors and engineers, who at once arrived on the scene. The rails were joined and two engines proceeded slowly toward each other from each side. Attached to the drawhead of the engine from Salis- bury was bottle of champagne and as the two engines met it was broken and the new railway was named in the orthodox manner.-London Telegraph.

Hartford, May 2s.-With a very thrilling windup Hartford took another game from the Whalers yesterday af- ternoon. The game itself was well played and both pitchers acquitted themselves with credit The black spot was several ridiculous decisions by Kennedy, for which there was no excuse.
 Hartford won out in the ninth. Daly led off with hit. Morrison was given his base. Buttman made a pretty bunt. advancing both men, but he was thrown out. Kelly hit fly to left and Daly scored on the out. Thomas hit in front of the, plate and Armbruster made low throw to first Hardesty got the ball but could not hold it and fell over Thomas was safe and be- fore Hardesty could recover Morrison had crossed the plate with the win ming run and with only two out.
