aanlon and Ranger are Matched Once

 Charles McNally, better known as Young Mack and Jack O'Brien of South Boston are to mix it up at Web ster. Mass, next Thursday night, and it is quite likely that after they do the curtain will unceremoniously be pull ed down and ban put on the sport. Everywhere Mack has gone he has done the sport lot of injury, but it looks prearranged for the coming oc- casion, so it will not be necessary for him to resort to the fouling methods for which he is notorious In New York in the old Isoteric club he deliber- ately kicked and used his knee on Epps, colored boxer, placing him in a precarious condition. It was some time before Epps was able to be around, so Mack, to avoid anything unpleasant that might arise, left for parts unknown
 The def of Al Weinig, the Buffalo cyclist, to meet Jack O.Brien in private for 1000, may result in the pair being matched O'Brien says he does not like the idea of having the light held in private. He declares he will take Waeinig on in public, provided some club will give a liberal purse.
 Another Inatch was arranged yester. day between Eddie Hanhon and Benny Yanger, the @TTipton Slasher'' After their rattIing 20-round draw at Sar Francisco last week the pair agreed td another fight, but did not clinch the scrap until yesterday. The mill is flor 20 rounds at caE1hweights and vii take place before the club giving tl1f best purse.

NO N.A:ME-No MARK.
Maurice Noonan's Nameless Steed
 Beaten by Nominee Junior.


 Beaten by Moninee Junior.
 For some weeks the lovers of horse racing in this city have been awaiting with much interest the outcome of the racesbetween Maurice No0nan's un- named gray trotter and Wihred De1age's Nominee Junior. Both the owners wagered goodly sum on the respective merits of the two horses and considerable money changed hands. The gray horse is practically unknown in Waterbury, but it has been touted as a wonder 1t had no name and no mark and many of the horsemen took a liking to the animal after seeing a few practice tTots. The odds were to against Nominee-Junior and it looked like easy money after the first heat
 The race took place yesterday after noon on the Driving park and big crowd was in attendance. The gray lnkaowif took the first heat easily and the packers of the animal were jubi- lant. Just here is where they should have stopped and thought while No doubt there were many present at that race yesterday who could look back few years and call to mind horse by the name of Greystone. As the name mulcaIed, the an1maI was gray In color, but he was yellow in sand, and perhaps many up at the track yester- day dropped several of the long greens trying to make out that Greystone was one of the greatest trotters that ever lived. We'll Greystone and the gray known of yesterday are two different horses, for the former is to-day retired from the trotting turf. The gray of yesterday seemed to suffer stage fright after winning that first heat, or else one. heat seemed to satisfy the animals instincts, Not another heat went that way, however for Nominee Junior took the next three heats handi1y and won the match. 1t may be that Maurice Noonan was hanging back for another race, for it is pretty well conceded that Maurice is not often caught mapping, and there may be something else in the works within few weeks.

 Holyoke, July S.-There was sharp skirmishing at Holyoke yesterday, and Meriden came out second best. Both sides put up hard tlght, and it was the two-bagger of Rossman and the sacrifice of Landy that saved the day for the Paper city. Kid Wade pitched pretty game, and kept the hits we'll scattered, and Walsh, whom Meriden had been saving for Holyoke, had lots of speed, but not much control. The pitcher did the heavy hitting for the visitors, and Wade got to be afraid of him and gave him a free pass in the seventh. Prior to that time he had pounded out q triple and single, and when he came up in the seventh, with Altizer on second. the "Kid'' gave him q wide berth. Kennedy of Meriden was not in the game yesterday, his last game at Holyoke Thursday being too much for him. He was hit on the wrist by a pitched ball, and had to leave the game, and he has not been in it since that time. Landy was seen on third again, and filled McC6rrnick's shoes in good shape. He made one error on throw to Slater, but made up for it inn nnediately after by corking pickup and throw to first
 The prettiest play Of the day was made by Rossman, and Altizer made the most sensational catch. Rossman did his little stunt in the seventh. Lar kin knocked low fly only few yards beyond second base. Rossrnan was playing well out when the ball was batted, but by a long and hard run he was able to capture the fly just before 1t touched the ground. It was a good catch, and the fans were not slow to recognize 1t, as such. Altizer's grand stand play came in the third inning. McAndrews knocked him a hot liner. and Altizer stuck up one hand for it. The ball fell from his glove, but land ed in the other hand, and McAndrews was cut of from further adventure. The score:

FIGHT ON BALL FIELD.
Umpire and Playerin New York Game >s Punch Each Other

'
 New York, July S.-A fight on the field between an umpire and a player, with the umpire striking the first blow, was the unprecedented occur rence-for this city at any rate-which took place at the ball game at Aneri- can League park yesterday afternoon. The fight took place at the end of the first half of the seventh inning, and the participants were Jack Sheridan, the umpire, and Dan Green, the right fielder of the Chicago Americans. Green was the second man out in the seventh inning. He was thrown out cleaniy at first base, and turned around to the umpire with a kick. He was ordered out of the game, and, as he passed behind and close to the um- pire going to the bench, he said some thing to Sheridan which sounded like: E"All right, after the game" 1t was supposed he had so angered Sheridan 1 by some remarks that the latter had challenged him to have it out after the game, but that was merely supposi- ton.
 When the half of the inning was fin- ished, Green, from the bench, called Sheridan ''bull head" according to one spectator. Sheridan walked over toward the Chicago bench, removing his mask as he did so. Everybody thought he was going to order Green off the grounds. Green got up from the bench and had gone about fifteen feet when Sheridan and he came to- gether. The first intimation the spectators had that Sheridan was moved by prize ring emotions was when he raised his left hand and let drive at Green. He instantly followed the left arm blow by swinging at Green with the hand that held the mask. The men cIinch- ed so quickly that it was difficult to see what damage Sheridan's swings had done, but Green had time to get in hard smash on Sherida11's head, for q coupleeof minutes later the umpire had puffed. discolored caulifiower ear that professional pugilist fTould con- sider. a rare mark of distinction
 Sheridan's assault was quite unex- pected, but the police had the two men apart quickly. Captain Halpin of the 152d street station was one of the first to reach the struggling men Hc grabbed Sheridan by the arm and as- signed couple of cops to look after the umpire while he saw that order was restored. People from the stands rushed out on the field and these had to he hustled back.
 Green started across the field to the dressing room after the fight, but q couple of bluecoats brought him back to where Sheridan was under guard. Sheridan was taken to the 152d street station and there detained while Pres ident Gordon was getting rnil for him. Green declined to make charge of as- sault against the umpire and the charge, on which the latter is held is disorderly conduct.
 Sheridan is well known as an um- pire and regarded as one of the best He was formerly in the National league, and has been in the American for several seasons past Both he and Green are men of strong, thick-set build, with Green the taller.

Autortxht,n rarfra victory.

DETROIT, Mich, July 8.-An excel lent programme of seven events proved a strong drawing card at Highland park A majority of the races resulted in spirited contests, with the winners in several of them cropping up from the most unexpected sources. Autolight scored his third successive victory at the meeting by beating good field in the mile and sixteenth race. He was favorite and heavily backed Jockey Brazil was notified by the Western Jockey club of his reinstatement. He had the mount on Presgrave in the race for maiden jumpers and after a brilliant ride landed him an easy win- ner from Cubanite. Jockey McGovern, who rode Provost, lost control of his mount at the sixth jump, and the horse bolted through the wing, unseating Mo Govern and ramping on him.

The Silver Cup Won By the Irish
 American Athletic Club.
 The silver cup that the Irish American Athletic club football team won from the Hartford football team July 4th will be on exhibition at D. Regan's Baldwin street cafe tonight.

Moore and Captain Martin Connolly for the team they presented in Hartford and with which they brought that handsome silver trophy to Waterbury, and won not only that but the championship of the state of Connecticut
 There was only one man on the team injured and that was the captain. He was attended to by Dr John F. Hayes, who says he will be all right in a few days.

DELRHANTY A SUICIDE?
Great Eastman Believed to Have Killed

 Great Eastman Believed to Have Killed
 Himself at Fort Erie July 4.
 Washington, July S.--Word received in Washington yesterday leaves little doubt that Ed Delehanty, the famous ball player, committed suicide or was accidentally drowned at Fort Erie, Ont, on, the night of July. 2. He left Detroit that day in very Respondent frame of mind after several days of dissipation.
 A letter received by Mrs Delehanty says that an unknown man on the night in question had difficulty with a. bridge tender at Fort Erie and a moment or two later fell or jumped in- to the river. A dress suit case was re covered and in this was found baseball ticket No 26, issued by the Washington club to Delehanty.
 Manager Loftus and the players here regard the proof received as conclusive of Delehanty's death. He had been in anything but good form on account Of his disaDpo pointment in not being able to accept the large salary offered by the New York Natiora1 league club His heart was not in his work and he was not himself.
 The day he left Detroit he had taken out an accident policy, made payable to his little daughter. and he wrote a letter in which he expressed the hope that the train he was taking would run off the track. or that something would happen to him.
 Delehauty came originally from Cleveland and had his first Baseball ex; peTience in that city in 18S7 Since then he has ranked among the leading hatsmen of the country and always commanded high salary.

 Kaleidoscopic changes eontinueto be made in the Springfield team.

Slatterly, the dummy pitcher from Montreal will not be retained, nor will Goldie Bowler's s brother, who has not had enough ex- perience yet for such fast company as the Connecticut league. The hope that Springfield would have Frank shannon as shortstop again was effectuaaly shattered by the arrival yesterday of letter yesterday in which he said that he had accepted very favorable offer to be the manager of the A., J. & G. team of GloversviIle, in the New York State league. Donovan, the new short stop formerly played on the Fordham college team. He has been used in various positions at Hartford, and be came dissatisfied at not being put per manently at shortstUp, Manager Reilly letting him go last week. He is re- garded in Hartford asa good ball play CT and one of the best batters on the team Battan played with Springfield some yearg ago.

Prize Winners of Motorcycle Contest
 -Hendee Gets Gold Medal.

hfl
 Oficial announcements of the re- suits of the three days endurance con test for motor cycles from New York to Worcester and back was made yes terday by the committee of the Metro pole Cycling and Motor Cycle clubs. It showed that the run was one in which men adhered wonderfully we'll to ar- bitrary conditions more severe than would be met with normally and that the race for the great honor of one gold medal was closer than any one SUD- posed.
 Fourteen of the sixteen who com pleted the run of 394 miles had per- feet score of 1000 points. The gold medal, which was offered for the rider who adhered most closely to the fast schedule of fifteen miles an hour and was perfect to the minute at the most controls, goes to George M. Hendee. The first prize was won by a hair splitting margin, however. There were nine controls, and Hendee and Lincoln Holland both arrived exactly on the minute at six of them. Three times each was a little ahead of time or lit- tie behind. and the total variation in the case of each of them was just two minutes. The choice between these two competitors was made by consid- ering a difference of thirty seconds in favor of Hendee in passing a secret control
 The table gives the fourteen men who had perfect scores, shows at how many of the nine controls they were exactly on time and how much time in minutes they were out of the way for the gold medal competition:
