N 2 gopd pugiIist as he was several years agp Santry Is positive that he can win fights abroad. Santry is the. only fighter who ever knocked out Ben Jor- dan and it is not unlikely that the crack Englishman will accommodate him with scrap when he reaches England
 Attending championship fight in San Francisco is an expensive pleasure trip. From Buffalo to Frisco and re turn the railroad fare alone with sleep CT and meals will amount to over $2OO, and it will take about ten days to make the trip, allowing for delays on the road. The hotel and other expenses while in San Francisco amount to con- siderable, and it is safe to say that a man on pleasure bent had better pro- vide himself with bank roll of not less, than. $500 before he starts on the journey. If he should want a choice seat at the ringside this alone would cost him $2O Therefore 1t is only reasonable to suppose that there will be but few people at the fight from the east when Jeffries and Corbett meet on the 14th day of August at Mechan- ics' pavilion, where all the big fights brought off in Frisco are held.

THE DIAMOND.
Nationalities Represented in
 the Big League Teams

Only One Italian in the Game-New
 London. Holyoke and Norwich Win
 ners in State League Yesterday
 Rain Prevented One Game-Stand- ing of the Various Clubs.
 Tn the Congress of nations repre- sented in the National league ball clubs there is but one Italian perform CT this season, and he Is the first son of the sunny land to be in fast company in some years. Abbaticcho, the clever second baseman of the Bostons, is the only representative of the land where the spaghetti grows" who has been able to hold a job in the big league within the recollection of the present followers of the game, and he has had the experience of being turned down once before he finally made his per nnanent re-entree into the highest so-s ciety. Victor Accorsini, who was with the Cincinnatis for short time dur ing the reign of Robert Allen, is the only other Italian who has figured prominently in baseball in the last few years.
 Rarer than Italians are the Jews in the big league There is not one fol- lower of Moses in either of the big or .ganization at present Kane, who was with Pittsburg for short time in the spring, and whose right name is Co hen, being the only Jew to even get look into fast company in some years The most prominent representative the children of Israel ever had on the diamond and in his day nonesnone was greater, was Billy Nash. whose right name is William Nascg. As third baseman of the Boston team Nash was once the peer of any man in his posi- ton in the business. Frenchmen are also scarce in baseball. Lajoie, De montreville, Beville, Merites, Lachanee and one or two others holding up the end of the great European public on the green diamond. Carl Lundgren. the Chicago pitcher. is one of the few Swedes in fast company, and other na- tionalities are equally scarce in the game The Irish and Germans pre- dominate, with just sufficient number of Americans to balance the race con- ditions.

BASEBALL BETTING.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 22.-It has long been the boast of all connected With the national game that it holds It's popularity as clean sport, aside from any other Inducements to patrons. All forms of gambling incident to 1t are strictly tabooed by the governing pow CTS, and it is now nearly a quarter or century since a breath of suspicion has attached to the game In any way.
 1t is this freeness from corruption that has won for the pastine the proud place it holds in the esteem of tlle~pub- lie. They know it is conducted on the level. and that all games are won and lost on their merits.
 That there is betting on baseball, as there ts on every sporting event, none can gainsay, but that 1t has in any way affected the players and managers none but a blatant fool would assert.
 On all league grounds there are strict rules against 1t, and it has al- ways been the object of the proprie- tors to see that they are strictly eni forced. And that they are, is a mat ter of record. So long as the owners, players and managers are clear Of all taint in this respect the game cannot be injured Itby all the betting in the world
 From all reports a gaymbIing epi- demic has broken out in Pittsburg. When team comes along that looks as if it had look-in against the cham pions of last year they are willing to bet on either single games or on the series:.
 This was made all the more plain nr tha 1aaf vSSIf 0f %D Smoke Hollow. On the result of the games played the temporary lead in the race depended, and in consequence feeling ran. high.
 It is said that upward of $25,OOO was wagered on a single game. This will take a lot of verification before belief. and, while much money may have been staked, nothing like that sum has ever before been put up at a ball game.
 That Pittsburg should be the lead ing city in this direction need not be wondered at, for they have had a bad example set them by the head of the club.
 Barney Dreyfuss has no other argu- ment than a bet, and when the occa- sion has arisen he has been there with his coin, willing to back his opinion He cannot see that honor and gate money are enough for testing the aibil- 1ty of two teams. but he must needs ask for bet on the side.
 This is not one that is conducive 10 the good of the game. It is having a detrimental influence. They will gamble openly in Pittsburg, but it can have no bearing on the integrity of the game.

JOCKEYS IN MIX UP.
One Had Collarbone Broken, Other
 Had Part of Ear Torn Off.

What came near being fatal acci- dent occurred in the second race at Brighton Beach yesterday afternoon. Three Jockeys, Cochran, Michaels and Beauchamp, had a miraculous escape from death. It was a six-furlong dash for two-year-olds, with a big field, and as the horses swept with a rush into the homestretch Cochran tried to take the rail with Ruth Parrish. The Top Gallant lilly collided with Highwind and fell, throwing Cochran directly un- der the flying hoofs of half a dozen horses behind. Quick as a flash Kingsboro and Long Distance went sprawling in the dust, hurling Beau champ and Michales, respectively, on their heads. Then as the horses dash ed on toward the finish line, the fallen boys were seen lying, apparently un- conscious in the middle of the track Women shrieked and walled. Men cried out in alarm and Joined in the general rush up toward the scene of the accident. But those who had made Dinah Shad hot favorite yelled them selves hoarse as the King Eric lilly, un- der a sharp drive from Burns, came home victorious by three parts of a length, with Luminosity, 10 to l, beat ing Ned Moore, 15 to 1, by the same margin.
 Cochran was quickly on his feet and ran to the outer rail as if he feared an other mishap. Pinkertons and stable hands jumped over the rail and picked up Michaels and Beauchamp, who were insensible. Michaels's face was covered with blood. A piece of his ear had been cut off as if with knife. His father. who had Jumped the fence, carried him bodily half way to- the judges stand when Michaels suddenly came to and insisted upon walking. Beauchamp was placed upon the soft turf in. the infield to await the arrival of an ambulance. His head and neck were terribly swollen and he was un- conscious when put in the wagon He was not taken to the hospital but later was revived by surgeons who found that he was suffering from broken coilarbone and many painful bruises.

 pitched for the home team yesterday, gave the game to Norwich by cratic fielding. This was his first game tn league company and he was apparently nervous. A base on balls and two bad throws to first gave Norwich two runs in the first, two-bagger by Connolly followed by a single gave another in the second. A wild pitch by Higgins gave another in the fifth, and Turner, who scored in the sixth, was given a base on balls, a wild pitch and errors did the rest. Clark and Foster scored in the first, but after that the team was unable to hit Plank and were shut out for the remainder of the game. The score: Norwich 9 o o 0 o-5 8 l Bridgeport ..2 0 O O o o o o 0-2 4 4 Batteries-Plank and Connolly; Lag gins and O'Rourke; umpire, Dolan; at tendance 750.

 At Providence-Wet grounds.

It is reported that Phil Corcoran, who recently deserted the Bridgeport team, has given up ball playing for good, and henceforth will deal with cannon balls instead of baseballs. It is stated that he went to Brooklyn and enlisted in the United States navy. Although there are many good reasons for believing the story, it is unconfirmed.
 The polo grounds have been leased for the first baseball game of series to three to be played between the Young Corbett and the Terry McGov- ern hines. The contest will take place on Saturday afternoon, July %. Both pugilists pride themselves on their ball playing almost as much as on their fighting abilities, and they are really excellent players. On thousand dollars has been posted as side bet.
 The wave of rowdyism that has swept over the national game of late makes it imperative for the big moguls to get together before another season and enact legislation that will make it handler to deal with the rowdies of the game. Entirely too often this sea- son the toughs of the ball field have escaped official censure by keeping within the bounds of propriety during the time they were actually on the field and fighting it out after the game New York Sun.
 Walsh is certainly 8 wonderful pitcher. The boy is strong as an OK, and his reserve force is sufficient for any emergency. He can hurl the ball over just as fast in the ninth as in the first. His stick work is also of the gilt-edged variety. That boy is destin- Cd for something better than the Con- necticut league, and it is no credit to the judgment of the men who selected other Connecticut twirlers and left Walsh at home.-New London Day.

CITY WAS CAPTURED
Ciudad Bolivar Taken by the
 Troops of General Rivaa.
REBELS HAD TO SURRENDER OR DIE
Tue Government Forces Acted vvitA Great Humanity, Orders Deing
 Issaed That the AttacIxAnR
 Party Must sh0vw nRspv0y r

CARACAS, Venezuela, July 22, Afe- CT desperate lighting the city of Ciudad Bolivar has been captuecd by the Ven ezuelan government troops The fight was horrible, the rebels resisting to the, last at the jail, the capitol and the Dal- ton block, where the American consul, ate and most of the foreign business houses are located.
 The government troops, which had received all the re-enforcements avail able and who numbered in all b,200 men, made general attack upon air positions held by the rebels. The za~ mora, called the Sevastopol of CiudaR Bolivar, was stormed and captured Ninety four dead rebels were found in- side, among them being General Azan- ga, one of the revolutionary leaders, whose head had been blown of by a shell.
 It Is impossible to render an idea of the carnage which occurred at this point. At the same time General Ri- vas, General Gomez's chief lieutenant, with 2,300 men, succeeded iii destroy ing barricade erected around the Mi. randa plaza, the key to the capitol, where all the survivors of the revolu- ton were concentrated.
 All the roads and streets running into the capitol are guarded by government troops, and the escape of the revolu-i tionists after the capture of the capitol was impossible. They had to either yurrender or die. The custom house vas taken after a ten hours light, six- ty being killed as result at this spot The Dalton block was captured later- The situation of the rebels is now con- sidered desperate and hopeless. Many of the shops have been pillaged.
 Many people near the scene of the fighting abandoned their homes and sought refuge in other parts of the cityA crossing the streets amid a hail of buiA let's and shells, the women carryin& their children, the strong helping the weak. Many men in trying to protect the women fell, struck by bullets, in the middle of the street. What witlf the firing, the yells of the wounded and the crying of the women and children, a terrible scene was witnessed, bad enough to disgust anybody fprevef with civil war.
 The government troops acted with humanity, especially the forces of Gen. erA Rtvas, who, fighting bravely, was the first to order the attacking force tu' be merciful.

Reward For Escaped convicts.

PLATTSBURG, N. r, July 22. -- Warden Deyo of Clinton prison has au- thorized the announcement that the $25O reward offered for the capture of Peter James, the ''lifer" who, with three other prisoners, esceped from the prison Saturday last, will be paid for him dead or alive. This indicates that the prison officials expect James to fight to the death before being cap tured. Although the reward offer has stimulated extraordinary interest in the search, not the slightest trace of the four desperadoes has been found

BASE BALL MEN D1sPERsE.
Nothing Settled Regarding Formulating
 New National Agreement.

The National league base ball dele gates adjourned yesterday morning, after a session in which John T. Brush was not present. There was some talk of new national agreement yesterday. There was a telegram from President Powers of the minor leagues asking what the National league was going to do about national agreement, but as July 2S has been fixed as a date for Powers, Johnson and Pulliam to meet on the national agreement subject, it was not considered necessary to answer the telegram.
 President Johnson of the American league believes that 8 document of such moment as national agreement should be drawn up by a committee appointed for the purpose, rather than by the presidents, and he may reconfmend that course. "The National league men took the only course they could take and be fair," said Johnson, in speaking of the resolution regarding Elberfeld and Davis.

Hartford July p. Lack of oppor- tune hitting and dumb base running lost the game for Hartford yesterday. In order to change the luck the Harty fords went to bat first, but this did not have the desired effect. Just two runs were thrown away by poor base rum ming and as those runs would have tied the score at least, Holyoke was very fortunate to get away with the game. The Holyoke captain was afraid of the famous Hartford ninth inning rally and he became frightened in the eighth in ming and yanked Bass out of the box, substituting Bobby Durnbaugh The scare:
