THE SPORTING NEWS.

In spite of the fact that it was any body's game throughout, and first one team led and then the other, the con test was one of those sleepy affairs where it is almost impossible to arouse enthusiasm. In the sixth when the Ponies did little batting and got two of their number around the diamond the root CTS on the side lines tried to give a little encouragement but the shouts were half-hearted and, as some one suggested, sounded like badly drilled mob of supers in stage production. Tansey made a great running catch Joe Connor did some of his fancy base running, Flanagan hit at the right time and Altizer exhibited some speed on bases. Other than these plays the game was devoid of features. The score:
 R.H.E Springfield ...10 0 Oy2 % IA 7 3 Meriden !. % 0 1 0 1 0 O-3 6 7 Batteries-Luby and OConnor; :; .O'Gara and Burke; attendance, 52O; umpire, Reardon.

 A man six feet two inches tall has joined the New London team. His name is Davis and he weighs over POO pounds. It is stated that Drew will be released providing the new man makes good.
 .'As for Fred Does visit here at this time, when Norwich needs all the good men they have left, and his try ing to sign players for New Bedford, this is about as underhanded and wrong as some of the other deals which it is said he has been mixed up in It only breeds discontenf among the men and the effect cannot help but be harmful Why in the name of goodness, doesn't Secretary O'Rourke put stop to the business? The Nor wich club pays to the national asso- citation, of which John H. Farrell is the secretary, $3O year for protec- ton. and they should be protected from such men as Doe, who will go to almost any length to gain their end. Either James O'Rourke isn't at- tending to business or else he wishes to allow other managers to reap the benefits from the few good men the local club possesses at the present time. ."-Norwich Bulletin.

WILL PAY RESPECTS
Democratic National Cona- nittee Goes to Rosemount.
THOMAS TAGGART FOR CHAIRMAN
Judge Parker to See Tomorrow Members Who Will Manage His Campaign, Some of Them
 For the First Time.

NEW YORK, July 26.--The Demo cratic national committee will pay its respects to the Democratic candidate tomorrow. Arrangements have been made by Norman B. Mack, member of the committee for New York, and Cord Meyer, chairman of the Democratic state committee of this state, for the national organization to leave New York at II 80 and go direct to Esopus, where each member will be presented to Judge Parker.
 Many members have never seen their candidate, though some of them visited him both before and after the nomi- nation. 1t is quite probable that the chairman of the committee will be de- tained at Esopus for time in order to discuss the plans of campaign and more especially the appointment of the executive campaign committee, which win have the management of the cam paign.
 The members of the committee who arrived have confirmed the opinion that Thomas Taggart will be elected chairman. Both William F. Sheehan and Norman B. Mack, who know as much as anybody about the Demo- cratic candidates position in this mat ter, say that Taggart will be chosen.

BICYCLING.
YOUNG FENN MADE
 SPRINT TOO SOON

Hartford, July 26.-All the big pro- fessional bicycle riders were in the races at the Velodrome track here last night, and the crowd that saw them was big one, over 2,000 persons at tending. Kramer won the half-mile na- tional handicap easily, but punctured a tire in the teh-mile event before the first mile was completed. This race, which was spirited on account of the prizes offered for the winning of laps and miles, went to Menus Bedell, with his brother John a close second. Cad well was third and Root fourth. There were but two starters in the motor race.
 There were sixteen riders in the ten mile open professional race with purses hung up for the mile winners and the winners of laps. This was the best race of the evening and there was spurt every mile. Before the@ first mile was ridden Kramer withdrew be- cause of puncture. Mcfarland had a puncture after riding a few miles and he was out of it. Charles Hadfeld of Newark and Fred Scheps Of Aus tralia did not start. Walter Bardgett of Buffalo withdrew after the first mile. Fenn won the fifth and sixth miles with ease and he looked like a sure winner in the seventh, but just before he reached the tape Root shot by him when Fenn thought he was not in danger. The last mile was heart breaker and Tenn started out to pump too soon. The Bedell brothers came in first and second. with Caldwell third and Root fourth.
 The summaries:
 One-half mile national championship professionaI-Wo by Frank L. Kra.. mer; John Bedell second, Walter Bar gett third, Frank J. Caldwell fourth. Time, 1:25 1-5.

THE DIAMOND.
THIS WAS
 BASE BALL
Holyoke Did Better Work Yesterday--Springfield at 1t Again Results of all Other Games.

Holyoke. July 26.-Fred Winkler's adopted base ball family lined up thankfully yesterday and behaved in a way that cut into the established be- lief that players are ingrates.. Hart ford was subdued factor in the happy reunion of rescued souls. Score, 6 to 2.
 Holyoke played with more of the 1903 swing than has been shown at any time since early season. The champs were kept on keen hunt for runs by the presence of MT Winkler on the bench. He didn't have to hold the whip over his new possessions. Everyone had the Ego at 'em' feeling in form that couldn't be held doX<1 long.
 After Hartford had got two runs in the second, the champs were held down until the fourth and then Claud Rossman behaved in natural way. With Herman Schincel at first, Claud came up. His wallop over the fence in right pulled in the two runs that evened up This ceremony added watchfulness to the efforts of Hodges and he gave an almost perfect display of pitching power, but one safety being gained in the five innings following.
 The champs, after getting their ir- troduction through Claud Rossman to the possibilities of swat gaining off Parkins, dogged the Hartford silver topped left-hander until his pitching patience was battered down. The per sistency of the locals brought on four teen singles, a double, three-sacker and home-run jab being choicely displayed in the lot

At Norwich.

Norwich, July 26.-By hard hitting. New Haven won from Norwich yester- day by the score of to ?. It was a first class game and Norwich played better ball than it. had for some time. Tuckey was in the box for the Wan derers. He started ill the game rather wild. He seemed to lose control over his curves and the home team scored two runs in the first inning. For the next three innings neither side scored and the rooters seemed to have feel ing that the poor old Norwich team was really going to win game. The fifth inning showed where New Haven woke up and realized it was in the rear. It was only for few minutes that Norwich lead. as Peloquin weak ened in the fifth inning and New Ha- ven, taking advantage, piled up four runs. The game was won and the Wanderers had everything their own way for the remainder of the game. One run in the seventh and two in the eighth finished the scoring. The score:

STILL HAS THE WALLoP.

Life on the stage is not likely to prolong Fitzsimmons's ring career any, and his defeat at the hands of men who could never have compared with him as fighter when he was really good may be soon looked for. Jack O'Brien is honest enough to free ly admit that he would never have thought of going after Fitzsimmons had he not seen that Bob was fail ing. and George, Gardner and Jack Root would say the same if they told the truth To-day? Too good for O'Brien, at least, or nearly any of the larger men whom he can squat or set for and land on. He has them all beaten yet for the wallop--all except Jeffries.
