YOUNG PITCHES MORE GAMES.

But Tannehill Leads All Twir1ers of
 More than Four Years Experience.
 Boston, May 6.-"Cy" Young is a never-ending subject of praise. Now in his fourteenth year as a major league pitcher, he is apparently as good as ever. In his long experience 'Cy" never has had a percentage of victories lower than .543. These were his fig ures in 1894. In 1892 he had a per- centage of .783, and since then he has three times been above 700, and three times above 600.
 American league pitchers is Griffith, who started in 1894. As he pitched only two games that season, however, four years longer. Orth and Donahue started in 1895, and Powell, Tannehill, Sudhoff and Callahan in 1897.
 Five other American league pitchers have been in major league service con- secutively since 1898, and two since 1899, making fifteen pitchers who have served curves to big league batters for four or more years. "Rube' Waddell broke into the big league in 1897, but he has been out and in twice since.
 Of the big fifteen. Jess Tannehill, now with the New York Americans, has the best percentage of victories. but he has not pitched half as many games as has Young, who ranks second on the record, with $50 victories and 1S2 defeats. Chesbro, also with the New York Americans. and four-year man, is third while Griffith, manager of the New York Americans. is fourth. Grifith's team, therefore, has three of the four most successful pitchers of recent years. Bernhard of Cleveland, a four-year man. is fifth, he being the only Napoleon among the more expert enced pitchers.

George Collett Will Ride in the Paris
 Races.
 George H. Collett, the New Haven boy, has signed a contract to ride five races on the Buffalo track at Paris be- tween May 20 and June 28.
 George Leander has been fined $50 or stand suspended by the N. 0. A. un- til June 1, for his part in the fracas at Atlanta after the six-day race. John and Menus Bedell have been suspended pending investigation. '
 Harry Bikes, the middle distance champion and Bobby Walthour, claim ant of the title. have been matched for a race at Atlanta, Ga. or for a series of races, to take place May II and 12. Bikes receives for these races the largest guarantee ever given a rider for a southern trip.
 Harassed clerks of the course, who have to try conclusions with the lordly racing man, will note with interest the punishment meted out to Major Fay Tor in Australia. He appeared on the track without a number and was promptly fined five shillings ($2.5O). The action was hardly sportsmanlike, the circumstances being considered, and is fittingly criticised by the Austra- Han Cyclist, which records the fact.

featherWeight, and Eddie Smith of Cleveland. The tip was passed quiet ly around on Monday and in the even- l ing the spectators gathered in hos telry on the west side. From there they migrated to Fort Lee, where the mill was held. A ring was pitched in the rear of a saloon. It was orig inally intended that the bout was to have been to a finish but at the twelfth hour the scrap was curtailed to twenty rounds. Betts was easily Smiths su- perior. He was in better condition, too, and seemed stronger. After Betts had made Smith look like nov ice for eight rounds, punching and knocking him down as we'll, the ref cree interfered and stopped the en- counter. Betts, of course, was the winner. There were also two inter esting preliminary goes and no sign or interference from the authorities.
 James R. Murphy, matchmaker of the Broadway A. c. of Butte, Mon, who is at present in New York, has planned a f1stic carnival for hi sclub. If everything goes through successful lv. the venture will be one of huge proportions. Murphy wants to arrange the following fights, and from present indications it looks as if they will be arranged: Terry McGovern vs Au- relia Herrara. the "Mexican;" Joe Cans vs Jimmy Britt for the lightweight ti- tie; Bob Fitzsimmons vs Jack Root; Rube Ferns and Joe WalcOtt, and George Gardner and Jack Mccormick of Philadelphia. Murphy had a talk with Sam Harris who says that Nc Govern will consent to fight Herrara after he (McGovern) is through with his encounter with Abe Attell, which is to be decided this month at Fort Erie. It is possible that Fitzsimmons will consent to fight Root. He will leave with Jim Jeffries for San Fran cisco to-day, stopping off only at Chat tanooga, Tenn, to give an exhibition. Murphy hopes to be able to arrange all bouts so that they can be held during the latter part of June.

City League Arranges for Opening and
 Greater Waterbury League Disbands
 At meeting of the City Amateur league last evening held at the rooms of the St Joseph society all arrange ments were made for the opening of the season which takes place on Satur- day, May 16. It was one of the warm est and longest sessions of the league yet held and many points were dis cussed. The question of playing games in Waterville on some of the Saturdays was one of the most dis. cussed points and it was decided that on the opening day the only games to be played would be on the Driving park. Two games will be played that day, the first one between the Wash ington Hills and the St Joseph's and the second one between the Brooklyn Athletic club and the North Ends. Managers Thompson, Kelly and Hayes were appointed a committee to select the umpires for the season. It is ex- pected that the season will be a very successful one financially as there is now no other league in the city. Special trains will run to and from the Driving park on every Saturday and on holi- days. It is possible that at the open ing game band of music will be on hand and that Mayor Kilduff will throw the first ball over the diamond. Every team will be newly uniformed and when they line up for the first game it is expected big crowd will be in attendance. The grounds will be we'll policed and everything will be done to make the games interesting and give the people a run for their money. T. H. Hayes, the lessee of the grounds Is now, making arrange ments for the erection of bleachers which will be taken from the old Ath- letic field. . ----.-....
 The Greater Waterbury league held meeting last night at the rooms of the Merrimac club and owing to the opposition of the authorities to Sun day baseball it was voted unanimously to disband for the season. The fol- lowing managers were present at the meeting which was presided over by President James Kilmartin: Edward Curley of the Moonlights, Edward Ray of the Layayettes, William Law Tor of the South End A. C., Frederick Teller of the Fifth Ward A. O., Mau- rice McGrath of the Sunshine A. o., William Doran of the Big Seven A. O., Robert Hayes of the Merrimac A" C., William Marsella of the Second Ward A. c.
 The league took this action of dis banding because the City league had engaged the Driving park for all Sat urdays and holidays throughout the season and the managers did not wish to buck the league by playing on other fields. Before the meeting adjourned vote of thanks was rendered to the president for his services.

Worth Track Record Broken.

CHICAGO, May 6.-Gregor K, an American Derby candidate, not thought able to go a distance, broke the track. record for the mile and sev- enty yards in the fourth event at Worth winning the race in rather easy fashion from the best field of aged horses he has ever met. The new rec ord was set at 1:44 3-5 as against the old mark of 1:45 1-5. Nitrate, the fa- vorite, secured second place length in front of Bondage. Gregor K. went to the post at 12 to 1. There was a des- perate finish in the third race between Beau Ormondo and Favonius. After the hardest kind of drive through the stretch, both horses running like a team, Beau Ormondo managed to get his nose far enough in front at the wire to secure the verdict.

 LOS ANGELES, Gal, May 6.-Sam Mcyey, the colored pugilist, knocked out Kid Garter in the, eleventh round last night. It appeared to be McVey's fight all the way through. In the sec ond round his right connected with Carter's jaw, and the Brooklyn man went groggy for time, but recuperat- ed during the minutes intermission. From this point to the finish McVey did most of the forcing. In the ninth he put Carter down twice for the count with hard rights to the jaw. In the eleventh McVey brought his right across during mix up, and Garter fell flat on his back. He managed to stag ger to his feet Just in time to be saved from being counted out. He was una ble to protect himself, however, and moment later went down and out from a left and right to the jaw.
 Boston, May 6.-Kid Goodman of this city got the decision over Joe Bernstein of New York in five rounds at the Criterion A. C.. last evening.

 Bernstein remained on one knee un- til the count was almost gone and then arose and kept on until the gong struck. Once in his corner Bernstein said he had injured his left wrist when he fell and could not continue, so the ecision was given to the Boston box Ar.
 Some of the people in the ring said that Bernstein had broken his wrist while others said it was merely a sprain, but the man had no apparent difficulty, in sliding his suspenders over his shoulder with the injured member when he dressed.
 Just why Goodman should have beer favorite in the betting when he was going against a veteran like Bernstein is a difficult problem, but there were g

Jack 0'Brien Has the Hardest
 Battle of His Career.

Marvin Hart Outweighing Him Many
 Pounds, Almost Puts Him Out
 Plucky Fight of O'Brien-Joe Bern
 stein's Peculiar Battle With Good
 man.
 Philadelphia, May 6.-Jack O'Brien put up the grandest and probably the hardest fight of his career last night at the Penn Art club, when he gave away twenty-four pounds and lasted six rounds of the toughest kind of mill ing with Marvin Hart.
 As soon as the gong sounded for pro- ceedings to begin O'Brien quickly sent the left and right to jaw. Hart tried to come back with a left, but missed. Then O'Brien landed hard on the jaw and a moment afterward in trying for a left jab fell to the floor. He was up in a moment and just as the gong sounded the local man made Marvin wince with left and right swings.
 O>Brien assumed the offensive at once in the second round, and planted blow after blow on Harts face and head. After wild swing, Hart sue ceeded in getting home damaging blow, vicious left on the stomach.
 Hart started in the third round by clinching, hoping that his weight would wear his opponent out. After O'Brien had lifted Hart clear off his feet with an uppercut the latter fol- lowed suit, and then the fighting be- came fast and furious. It was seen that Hart was taking desperate chances for a knockout, but O'Brien was careful.
 In the fourth round Hart adopted the jabbing tactics, but O'Brien seem- ed to be on the inside at every at- tempt, landing rapid rights and lefts on the jaw without getting a return. After a clinch, Hart put hard one on the nose, and then forced Jack to the floor. After getting up he went after Hart and landed six blows to Marvin's one.
 O'Brien began the fifth round at a fast clip, but the pace and Hart's weight told before the round closed. 1 The latter landed a left on the jaw and right on the ribs, O'Brien going to the floor. He jumped up at the count of six and reeled all around the ring, ] but managed to escape Hart's swings until the gong sounded. O'Brien was clearly exhausted and fell into the chair as soon as he got into his corner.
 In the last round Hart started att once to finish the Philadelphian. After missing with his left, O'Brien clinched. l Then Hart knocked O'Brien down with a left uppercut, and he did not rise until the count of six. O'Brien sud- denly recovered his old form and plant 1 ed a heavy left on Harts jaw. He continued the onslaught until the 1 close, Hart being totally unable to land the finishing blow that he most desired. !
 Before the men went on 1t was an- nounced that Hart was many pounds l over the stipulated weight, tipping the scales at 1S31a, whereas O'Brien weighed 15S1z. Hart had agreed to fight at ITO.
 O'Rrien threw down the $250 forfeitl for weight and went on with the un- derstanding that if he lasted the six rounds he was to get the entire share of the receipts. As Jack stayed he got not only his own money but his oppon- ent's as well. .a.5

THIS IS ENCOURAGING
FOR THE CORN GROWERS

There is a popular belief that the
katyGid's mission On earth is to con
troll the date of the first frost. Some
say it is the locust, but experience
has shown that the katydid has more
To do with it than its fiddling first
cousin. Level-headed people agree
there can he no frost till six weeks
after the katydid makes its first APP
pearance i'm this portion of North
America. If this is the case, the talk
of an early frost this fall and soft
corn is all bosh. While the locust
has been here for the past couple of
weeks the katydid is just beginning
to make himself heard in this imme-
date vicinity. This defers the posi-
bility of even the lghtest kind of
frost till the first of October, and it
seems altogether likely then that
there will he none severe enough to
affect the corn crop at least till the
middle OF that month.
