John Little Backs Out of a Match With
 Watson.

Brockton, May 14.-John J. Little and William H. Watson got together Tuesday night at the Enterprise of flee, the time for their proposed wrest- ling match being up last night. Wat son wanted to go out somewhere and wrestle it right then and there for the $50 that was posted some six weeks ago. Little is far from well, and says that the way he feels at the present time he doesn't know when he will get into shape. He appreciates the fact that Watson has been coming pretty fast lately, and to use Johns own words last night 'he wants to be John J. Little when he wrestles him."

ST. BERNARD DOGS.
Noble Breed That Furnishes Won derful Instances of Intelligence
 and Bravery.

A New England mill owner allowed his pet St. Bernard to sleep in the of flee, quite near his house, says a writer in Country Life in America. As he un- locked the door one morning he heard low growl, and there stood the dog over the prostrate body of a man. AS the mill owner approached the man tried to arise, but another warning growl made him drop back, ejaculat- ing: "For Gods sake, call off your dog! He's been standing over me four hours" Burglar tools lay beside him. He was unharmed and so was the safe. A lady who was going on long journey one summe mer left her" "Brenner" in the care of livery stable keeper, a friend who knew and loved the dog. Brenner was a very quiet and unob- trusive fellow, careful to keep out of the way, yet always near at hand. So quiet was he that strangers thought him cowardly, and many times he was showed about by teasing, human bull Hes-just to see what he would do. Brenner took all their rough jokes in good part until one day after his toes had been trodden on repeatedly by his chief tormentor. Finding it appar- ently impossible to provoke the dog, the bully turned upon the stable keep CT and began wrestling with him. Up sprang Brenner like, a, tiger, and, push ing his great body between the men, he forced them apart. Then, erect upon his hind legs he put his forepaws upon his enemy's shoulders and uttered just one fierce growl. That was enough. His toes never suffered again.
 A three-months-old pup, by careful observation, learned the connection be- tween the pump handle and his supply of fresh water. When the pan was empty and he felt thirsty he would seize the handle and shake it repeat edly as we'll as he could. If this pro- ceeding failed to attract the attention of any one he would take the pan in his mouth and bang it violently against the pump. As he grew elder he helped the boys about their farm work-or tried to-and with very little training became good cattle driver, never an- moving the cows by barking in front of them, but following them closely and pushing the stragglers gently to per suade them to rejoin their friends. When the door of the cow barn was opened it was the signal for him to go down the lane to the pasture and bring the cattle home. He was proud of his skill, having been praised repeatedly for it. One blazing July day chance visitor opened the door. Bravo, lying in the shade, heard and saw. It swas hours too early and he was loath to leave his comfort, but the call of duty must be obeyed, and away hesped. The cows were taking their comfort, too, some resting under the elms, some standing knee-deep in the cool stream. Up they had to come, one and all, most reluctantly, surprised and unhappy. Bravo never understood why he got such a rating that afternoon.
 No other breed of dogs is more adapt able to changing conditions. Give him his friends and he is happy, whether hemmed in by the limitations of city fiat or free to roam over 100 acres.

Wood ies Holyoke Ghosts, in their imma cu- late white suits went at the ball in ev- cry way, and Woodruff led the husky bunch. making a home run by batting the ball over the left field fence-a feat that has never been done before. and probably will not be duplicated for some time to. come. It seemed as though the sphere would wear holes in the bats before the game ended. Doubles were plentiful.
 Woodrrff's men started in with a rush without even waiting for an in- troduction. Before they had finished, they did not need such a formality, for everyone knew them by the way they hit. The score: /

Worcester players when they kicked on a decision.
 The New York Americans are hay ing trouble in winning more than one game at stretch. But that is to be expected where teams are so strong and so well matched, as rule. and only in- creases the beauty or the race.
 President Johnson announces that he has suspended Tannehill and Williams of the New York team for talking back to Carruthers at Boston. The suspen- sions are for three days beginning Tuesday.
 The work of Ollie Pickering, center field of the champion Philadelphias, is attracting more than ordinary atten- ton. He is rounding into shape rapid ly and has good eye when he picks up the club. .. N
 The Hustlers, composed mostly of High school pupils, will play a team from Monroe's Business college Satur- day afternoon at 3 D. m. at the west end. Battery for Hustlers, Humphrey and Lavigne; for Monroe's, Dalton and Jackson.
 Every American club that goes to Boston pitches as many left-handers as possible. Washington presented two, but Jimmy Collins said they were getting to used to ''southpaws'' that they could beat them just as easily as the ~''rightpaws."
 The new rule which prohibits the pitchers from stepping back of the rub Der in the box is not working such a hardship upon them as was thought They are overcoming it, as they have overcome all other burdens which have been placed upon them from time to time, and even now very few of them take any notice of the change. President P. T. Powers of the East. ern league has decided to use stringent means to aid in the purification of baseball in his league, and Tuesday on complaint of Umpire Latham, Gap tain O'Brien of the Newarks, was fined and suspended for three days for usire abusive language. Although the East ern league season is but few weeks old, President Powers has collected fines from Captain Bean of Jersey City, Shaw and McIntire of Buffalo and Quinlan of Baltimore, which were imposed upon them by the umpires.
