Methvin Memorial

The Southern Methodist church
at the junction of 4th and Ameri-
can Avenue, is ofe of the prin-
cipal attractions T Anadarko.
Its location relied great credit
on the committee \yho selected
the site, the house itself is an or
nament and a credit to the city.
From foundation stone to the top
of the lofty spire it testifies to the
ability and skill of architect,
carpenters, and painters. The
present seating capacity will
very soon have to be increased,
and the house itself will have to
be enlarged in less than twelve
months, for the growth of the
congregation has surpassed all
expectations. The pastor, Rev.
j. c.. S. Baird carries with him
the air of a mar who knows what
he is about. He says he is very
much pleased with his work here
and with nothing, more than the
name of the beautiful new house
of worship. "Methvin Mem
orial" is a fitting tribute to the
man who sixteen years ago, laid
the foundation of Southern
Methodism in Anadarko. The
Membership of the church is
growing constantly, eleven adj
ditions yesterday.

CHARTER OAK PARK.
Some of the Fastest Trotters in the
 Country Training There.

Some of the Fastest Trotters in the
 Country Training There.
 A. J. Welch, one of the owners of the celebrated Charter Oak park. reports that there are upward of 300 horses being trained on the track. When asked how the track was since the new soil has been put on,5 he replied enthu- siastically that it would be faster this year than it had ever been before. All the trainers are of the opinion that | the soil is the equal, if not the superior, of that of any of the other tracks. The most prominent horses at the track are: Prince Alert, 200; Anacon- l da, 2:O1%; Aubudon Boy, 2:O3; Indiana, l 2:OA%; Shadow Chimes, 2:05; Lord Derby, 2;O5%; Charley Herr, POT Jupe, 2:o735; Prince of Orange, 2:071a; Dulce Cor, -2:oS1s; Eleata, 2:OSk; Ida Higbwood, 2:o91a.
 It is doub tful If there Is another track that has such an array of fast record horses being trained on 1t. The l majority of trainers prefer to prepare their horses over this track, for there is good grass, good roads to jog on, first class shade tree paddocks; in short, every necessary convenience to aSSlSC TlG TEduueE.
 The horses have not been let down for fast miles to date, still some of them have stepped some very fast eighths, quarters and half miles.
 The great trotter Charley Herr, with Uncle Davy Cahil, his owner, driving, trotted half mile in 1O7A, finishing the last quarter in O:32, and the last eighth in O:141s. Uncle Davy was well pleased with the trial, and after the horse cooled out sound said that he would vet win the worlds champion ship. Charley Herr has been allowed a few mares this spring and is still high in flesh.
 Fred Noble has the snake horse, Ana conda, 2:O1% moving nicely. He Is driving him with an open bridle, as he has been all spring, and so hltched he does not pull or "lug," as was his GUS tom in previous years. So far he has taken work as cheerfully as any horse at the track Many horsemen believe that if Noble can get the horse to work in his races as he has in his training work this spring, by next fall he will have the worlds record.
 The fastest hopple pacer and gelding in the world, Prince Alert 200, is in grand condition, and Mart Demarest Is going carefully with him. He has asked no fast work of what looks like the most likely pacer to dethrone the present champions.
 Lord Derby. 2:05a4, is moving along nicely, and rainer George Spear Is per fectIy satisfied with the fast gelding. Still on the high side, he Is rapidly rounding sS 2ast work condition.

THE DIAMOND.
Holyoke Has Taken the Lead
 of the League

Hartford Fell Before the O'Neill Co.,
 horts Once More-Springfield Has
 Fallen to Third Position By Her De-
 feat Yesterday-Bridgeport Beat
 Meriden in an Eleven Inning Game
 Other Baseball News.
 Holyoke, June 5.-While Springfield was gracefully and naturally slipping down to third place yesterday after noon, Holyoke was working overtime on Springdale park to prevent Hart ford from making a steal of the game In the ninth inning. Up to that time Hartford had been blanked and the spectators felt sure they were billed to see the administration of coat of whitewash. All of.a sudden Hartford began to hit the ball, and when finally the inning ended the visitors had piled up six runs against nine for Holyoke.
 Manager OfNeil tried out an untamed youngster from Windsor Locks. He answers to the name of Brown, and that was the color of his pitching yes- terday. Most of the time the lad acted as If he wanted to be an angel or some other celestial inhabitant. for he in~ sisted on going cloudward every time he had chance and sometimes when he had no chance. Tn eight innings he distributed seven passes to first, be- sides hitting man and making R wild pitch, and. when finally he put the ball over. Hartford slammed 1t out for five safeties.
 Nothing but the sharpest kind of felding by the men behind him saved the young pitcher from having defeat chalked up against him. Twice when he had started men en route for the promised land. double plays shut off the opportunity Tom ReiIly's bunch had for scoring. Morgan cut off sev- eral dangerous looking visitors to his territory and Landy again contributed brilliancv enough to make the rooters forget the mess he used to make of playing the short field. Schincel brought into captivity lot of Browns wild ones and Mccormack did couple of pretty stunts near third.
 Until the ninth inning Hartford had succeeded in getting but three hits off the pitching of Brown, and one of the three was a scratch. But when the last inning came the fireworks came with 1t and a good scare was thrown into the home team. At the same time the Infants did some dumb playing and the three errors made in the last in- ming aided materially in the run get ting Captain Fitzpatrick saw the players were getting nervous and made the wise move of bringing Clancy in when there appeared a danger that ! Hartford might bat out a victory. The score:
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-06-05

At the start Wednesday evening the men lined up in the following order: Kramer, Fenn, Lawson, Melting, rBardgett, Armbruster, M. Bedell, Gal win. After riding nine miles Kramer and Fenn were relieved by Hadheld Schrieber in the 1S0th mile. In the 18th mile Calvin retired and Downing came out. ID the following mile Nc Farland anG John Bedell made their appearance and Mcfarland captured the mile as starter. ~
 At nineteen miles Root relieved Arm bruster and in the 197th mile Kramer came out again and in the next mile Mcfarland retired.
 Tn the 2O0th mile there was a scram- ble to win 1t and the bunch tore down to the finish. Kramer wanted it and got It, his first win of the day.
 All interest centered in the last mile and as usual all the big men were in. It was loaf up to the third lap, when Kramer and Downing started out. The bunch was after them in an instant and McF Farland caught on to Kramer's rear wheel. At the bell lap Fenn showed a pretty burst of speed and was followed by Root. On the last turn the men be- came punched and tore over the tape in blanket finish. The judges said Kra- mer first, Root second, Fenn third and Mcfarland fourth, while the crowd cheered and yelled with delight.

ROGER CoNNOR ARRESTED.
The Big First Baseman Assaulted a

The Big First Baseman Assaulted a
 New London Player.
 New London, June 5.-An incident that transpired in the fourth inning of the baseball game at Armstrong park yesterday afternoon furnished a deal of fun for the spectators at the time and business for the police afterward, Roger Connor. the veteran manager of the Springfield club, being arrested last night for an assault on Scott Hardesty first baseman of the New London team.
 Connor hit ball to Armbruster and was trying to make first oh it. Har- desty was about foot away from the base when he took the throw from Armbruster. He reached back with base and Connor fell over the extended foot Tn falling he turned and landed on his back! As he weighs in the neighborhood of 250 pounds the i'm petus was great, so that when he struck on his back his legs kept going and the big man turned a slow and la borious but absolutely complete som- ersault. For am instant it looked as if Connor's neck would be broken, but d1e struggled to his feet, apparently none the worse, save for the loss Of 1lis dignity, his spectacles and his tenn per. ,... .-
 Connor is not demonstrative, as a rule, and no ope suspected that he was ugly over the accident until little la ter in the game when Hardesty made A two-base hit AS the New London player approached first base Connor made a deliberate attempt to trip him, but was unsuccessful. The two men had some words about this, but the umpire shut them up.
 About GAO o'clock Hardesty had donned his street clothes and was standing on Bank street in front or the saloon kept by Manager F. l.. Shea. Connor, who was undoubtedly looking for Hardesty, walked up the street and bystanders say he pretend ed not to see the tall figure of the first baseman until he was opposite him. Then Connor turnedSand struck at him, landing three times. Hardesty side stepped and escaped serious punish ment. Roger followed him and liar desty walked away. He went 10 the police station where Lieutenant Whte was in charge. Hardesty made com plaint against Connor and Policemen Beebe and Sheehan escorted the vet eran basebag1 player to the police sta ton. He was not locked up, but all lowed to sit in the office until a bond was arranged for him. Captain Ha- ven fixed the amount of the bond at S15O, which was furnished by Proprie- tor F, H. Gavitt of the Hotel Royal for his appearance on June IT. The charge against Connor is breach of the peace, which covers assault and num- ber of other misdemeanors. Hardesty 1 said that he did not strike back as he did not want to make a scene, nor tC take a chance of injuring his hands l There are no marks on his face, where the first blow is said to have landed.

CAME DELAYED FOR LYNCH1NG

Greenville, Miss, June 5.-Robert Denis, colored, was lynched yesterday afternoon for an attempted assault upon white girl. Denis had his pre- liminary hearing and was bound over to await the action of the court when a mob battered in the door of the jail with a piece of railroad iron, took the prisoner out and hanged him up to a telephone cable in front, of the ex- change. More than 1000 men, women and children witnessed the lynching.
 So assured were the people that sum- mary vengeance would be wrecked on Denis that the manager of the ball game postponed the game for forty minutes that all might witness the hanging. After the lynching many in the crowd adjourned to the ball grounds and cheered the players.

ON THE MAT.
Good Purses Offered for Matches on
 the Level.

=
 There is a purse of $1OO awaiting a finish match between George Bothner of New York and Max Luttbeg right right here fin this city. There is also purse of $25 awaiting a match be- tween Ed O'ConnelI of New Haven and Jesse Foley of this city for a pre- ltminary one-hour wrestling contest on the same evening. Perhaps those purses may seem small to some of the Wreshers, but they have been going around the country getting much less. Take the f1asco in New Britain for in- stance, and other places the writer could name. There are conditions, however, attached to those purses. Each contestant must deposit a for felt with the stakeholder to guarantee appearance and to guarantee that he Will Wrestle and not play while the conCesC as going on. The referee will nave the right to caution the men if they are not doing good work and in case 1t looks like a fake each man in such contest will lose his forfeit. This is all good money and will be ready when the wrestlers sign articles. If Bothner, Luttbeg, O'Connen or Fo- l ley want any of 1t they can call around and deposit their forfeits with the stakeholder, E. l.. NSaloney, at any old time. That is the only way to run a wrestling match and when men have 1 forfeits at stake they will try not to lose them.
 There is purse of $200 awaiting a contest between Tom Jenkins and Jim Parr for finish match in this city and purse of $40 awaiting a match of one hour between Alex Swanson and John E. Kelly. The same conditions to govern those matches as the ones above. Those contests to take place not on the same evening at the Both ner and Luttbeg match.

SIX DAY RAGE.
Kramer Is Riding Fast in the Provi,
 dence Race.

Providence, June 5.-Frank Kra- mer's brilliant win in the last mile of the six-day race at the Coliseum We'd nesday night was the feature of the evening. It was the best finish yet seen and aroused the greatest enthusi- aSm.

 The positions of the eight teams con- prising sixteen riders was still un- changed at the close, all having ridden 213 miles and none of the men have yet been able to steal a lap, although one or two attempts have apparently been made, but the riders have been quick ly caught. - s.~r
 Mettling and Menus Bedell shared in the honors, they having won five indi- vidual mile each. Every mile had a fast finish and the racing throughout the evening was of the highest order and was characterized with brilliant sprints.
 There was only one spill during the day, this occurring in the 211th mile, when Armbruster went down on the turn after passing the tape. He was not seriously injured and his team mate Root quickly took his place.
 The men rode forty-two miles during the evening in two hours and nine sec- onds, and in the afternoon forty-one miles were covered in two hours lack ing thirty-nine seconds.
