ARBITRATION FAILS.
Fifteen Thousand Striking
 Italians Voted It Down.
HO WORK ON NEW YORK SUBWAY
GtriIxers Demand Two Dollars For an Eight Hour Day-Subcontract- Ors Say They Will Hire
 NonuniOn Help.

NEW YORK, May S.-Sweeping aside the pleading of Chevalier Bran chi, their consul general, Port Warden James E. March and officials of the Central Federated Union of Labor, 15,- 900 striking Italian laborers have voted almost unanimously not to re- turn to work in the city subway un- til they are assured of $2 for eight hours work o.,.-
 This means that the arbitration agreement entered into by the com mittee of the federation and the sub- way contractors Tuesday is repudiated. Not stroke of work is being done in the subway, as was promised by the committee, and another handicap is enforced against the already crippled building operations of the city. Imme- diately after the meeting the police were called to suppress a demonstra- tion at One Hundred and Eighteenth street and Second avenue.
 Only one thing remains to be done, according to subcontractors. So soon as the formal reply of the union is re- ceived they will seek nonunion labor wherever it can be found. This means, according to some authorities, other Italian laborers who would be willing to accept $1.S75a for ten hours work or $1.50 for eight hours work and negroes from the south and even from the West Indies.. q4 yo,
 It was expected that the subway men would accept the arbitration idea, and Herman Robinson, organizer of the Rockmen and Excavators' union, had so stated. In this he was backed up by Vito Pacelli, leader of the Ital- ians. According to them, the votes in the various unions had shown this ten dency. But at yesterdays meetings the men simply ran away from all control

METRoPOLITAN HANDICAP.
Whitney's Filly Wins $11,1sO for Her Owner-Great Crowd at Morris Park

Whitney's Filly Wins $11,1SO for Her
 Owner-Great Crowd at Morris Park
 New, York, May 8.-Gunfre won the twelfth running of the Metropontan handicap at Morris park yesterday be- fore 45,0OO cheering spectators who had made w, C. Whitney's swift lilly the faYorite in the betting. With T. Burns in the saddle she broke the track record by one second, the race record by one and one-quarter seconds; dis played speed and gameness and was the first of her sex to win this classic, which opened the American turf sea-. son.
 Two lengths behind the winner, to whom he gave four pounds weight ac- cording to the scale and nine pounds actual load. came Old England, famous sprinter of Green B. Morris, ridden by Shaw. Lux Casta, the Albermarle stables entry, with Cannon up, was third. These three had the race among them from the start. Articulate, which was pulled up by his rider, the appren- tice Larsen, when the barrier rose, ran a remarkable race and finished fourth, a length behind the tired Lux Casta. Yellow Tail was fifth. Masterman, pride of the Belmont stable, was an in- glorious last, with Herbert and Colonel Bill closest in front of him.
 Gunfire carried 109 pounds, her price in the ring was 2 to 1 and she won $11, ,18O for her owner; Old England, 11S pounds, was 10 to 1 to win and to 1 for place and MT Morris won $2,OOO by his victory, while Lux Casta, 1O2 pounds, took S1O0O as her owners share. Her price was 8 to and to 1.
 Every famous stable in the country was represented in the great race and hundreds of thousands of dollars were wagered, with the largest number of bookmakers that ever displayed slates in the betting ring.

The carrier is John Algood, and the feeling has been strong against him ever since his ap- pointment.

THE DIAMOND.
Connecticut League Opened the
 Season Yesterday.

New Haven, Hartford and Norwich the
 Winners-Springfield and Holyoke
 Did Not Play Because of Rain-Re-
 suits of Games in National, American
 and Other Leagues.
 Hartford, May S.--Hartford defeated Bridgeport in the opening champion ship game of baseball in this city yeS- terday afternoon. This was an un- heard of feat in baseball circles and on the return trip from the ground many Of the fans pinched themselves to see if they were dreaming. The Daugh- ters of Baseball Pioneers may protest because this years team did not lose the initial game, like its predecessors, but the victory was immensely pleas ing to the patrons of the sport, as a first win is looked upon as lucky omen, The weather was very bad for an opening and until late in the after noon it was doubtful whether the ground would be suitable for game.
 The players did not jump into their uniforms until shortly before o'clock and when the Hartford uniforms were seen they exceeded all expectations.
 Another tradition was broken yester- day as the first ball was not thrown out by the mayor. This may have been the hoodoo of other first games. Some of the mayors may have contributed addresses besides tossing the ball. AS the team had had such good success without this fuss it is probable that the ceremony will be dispensed with here- after. A bright sun, an enormous crowd, a speech by the mayor and few selections by the band do not com pensate for the loss of a game and theref~>se the dyed-in-the-wool fans who were down yesterday to the num- Der of 300 strong were well pleased with the beginning and it can be truly said that the season opened suspicious ly. Manager Reilly sat on the players bench and he wore such a contented expression that he looked like the pie lures of people who are advertised as patrons of various kinds of breakfast
 The regular upmire did not appear and Stark, a Hartford pitcher, and Harmon, Bridgeport twirler, off1ciat- ed. The young men were very fair and there was not any kicking except about a few balls and strikes. The score:

At New Haven.

New Haven, May S-The threaten ing weather kept the attendance at the opening game of the Connecticut league here, down to about 800. Prior to the game the New Haven and Mer- iden players paraded around the field to the flagstaff where all had a pull at the halyards in raising the cham pionship flag. Warden A. F. Maher of West Haven pitched the first ball across the plate and Umpire Kennedy promptly called it a strike. After the first inning the game was a fine one! Both Tuckey and Walsh were wild, the latter giving three bases on balls in the first inning, all of which counted for runs. Rogers was substituted in the second inning and held the New Ha- vSsaS to two hits. Hoffman, the Mer- iden third baseman, carried off the fielding honors for that team. Hall and Haywrad each made spectacular stops of hard grounders. Score:

 In preparation for his match with Harvey Parker, Max Wiley will settle down to steady training at the k. A. c. beginning to-day. He has his old wrestling partner, Jule Meyer, with him. He will finish his training next Monday, and he says that when he strips for the match next Monday night at the Empire theater he will be in the best condition of his career. Parker, on the other hand, has his age to con tend with. Harvey was wrestling generation ago. He is now close to 42 years of age and. will find cons1dera- ble difficulty in making the 40 pounds at the mat side. Although he has de- feated Wiley, the latter Is improving all the time, while the Little Demon
 has to do his utmost to keep from de clining. Since Parker and Wiley wrestled in January last the latter has had several important bouts and he has shown up magnif1cently in each. At Fitzhug hall he drew with Max Luttbeg, a man who has beaten and also drawn Parker, after two hours wrestling.
