THE DIAMOND.
WORK OF
 PAST SEASON
Osteen Leads the League in Batting-Joe Connor Comes in Ahead In Base Stealing.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 4.-The work of the players in theConnecticut State Base Ball association during the past season has been computed in fig ures which are more complete than ever before and include besides tho fielding and batting averages, the rec. ords of the pitchers and the stolen bases, sacrifice hits and drives for eX. tra bases. Also the team records. No player is given record in the batting unless he has played in 15 games, ex- cept the pitchers who are limited at 10 games. Tn fielding no player gets ah average unless he has played in one position for at least 16 games.
 The figures show that Osteen leads the league in batting, although Foster of Bridgeport Is the real leader winch the number of games is considered. Foster also leads in two and three base hits. But 12 players finished in the BOO class and but 9 were in the league at the end of the season. Or the 9 Bridgeport had 3, while Norwich, Holyoke, Springfield, Meriden, New London and New Haven had one each. Hartford was the only team without one.
 The best batting team in the league would be: Plank of Norwich and Long and Mclaughlin of New London, pitchers: Connor of Springfield and Burke of Meriden, catchers; Theisen, Meriden, first base; Rogers of New Haven. second base: Batch of Holyoke, third base; Moves of New London, shortstop: Foster of Bridgeport, left field; Crolius of Norwich, center field; i; and Clark of Bridgeport, right field.
 The best fielding team would be, taking pitchers who had oficiated in 25 or more games: Vickers of Holyoke, Iuby of Springfield and Hanifan of New Haven, pitchers; Bunyan Of Hartford and O'Rourke of Bridgeport, catchers; Yale of Bridgeport or Cana van of New Haven, first base: Daily of Hartford. second base; Batch of Holyoke, third base; Moves of New London, shortstop; Austin of Norwich, c. Ramon of New Haven and Arthur of Holyoke, outfielders.
 Tn the base stealing line the best team would be: Connor of Springfield and Armbruster of New London, scatchers; Bowler of Springfield, Tuck ey of New Haven and Long of New London, pitchers; Yale of Bridgeport. first base; Downey of Bridgeport, sec Ond base; Hayward of New Haven, third base; Moves of New London. shortstop: and Keane of New London, sFostar of Bridg .port and T. Banfon of Hartford and New London, out fielders.
 Bridgenort leads the league in bat ting, while HoIvoke and New Haven are tied for fielding flonors New Lon- don was far ahead in the base stealing line. That lively team with it's 34O stolen bases shows up with striking contrast with Meriden and it's slirn 92. SDrfnsfield is the leader in sacrificing. Brideenort in two and three base hits and New Haven in home runs. Yale of Bridgeport stole the most bases. although Keane and Rising of New London had better averages. AItizer of Springfield led in sacrifice hitting. He was easily the star of the league, although Murphy, who Jumped from Norwich. would have pressed him had he remained in the league all the sea- son.

WRESTLING.
GEO BOTHNER AND YOUNG
 HACKENsCHMIDT TO MEET

Two of the greatest wrestlers of their weight in America will meet to- night on the mat at Prospect hall. Brooklyn. They are George Bothner, tue lightweight champion, and Young Hackenschmidt, known as the "Ba- varian Tiger"
 Those who have wrestled with Hack enschmidt concede him to be the most aggressive and strongest wrestler of ms weight on the mat to-day. He has lne quai1ties-of q champion, is speedy, strong and the most vicious wrestler of his weight and inches in the world.
 He was born in Bavaria. Germanx 2O years ago, and since his early boy, hood has followed the trade of q siaughtering butcher. The hard work has given him a remarkable physioue.
 Hackenschmidt's first appearance in this country was against Fritz MoIll tne heavyweight, who has met the best or the wrestlers in this country. Tn his bout with Mohl, Hackenschmift astonished the spectators. Altl1oneii pounds heavier, Mohl was unable fo handle Hackenschmidt. who cainan two falls inside of thirty minutes. Al though welterweight, he has defeat- ed every man he has since met.
 He has agreed to throw George Both- ner twice within an hour, and in mak. ing this bargain has set for himselr tsA, :. hard proposition. :"
 All those who know the wrestlin. game are aware of Bothner's ability on the mat. While he may. not be as strong physically as Hackenschmidt there is not a trick of the game of which he is not the master.
 Bothner is like an eel and can wrig- gle and squirm out of the most diff1. cult positions In this bout it will be strength matched against the sciencs of the game. For it is conceded that while Hackenschmidt knows wrestline ne IS not the master of the finer prae, tee of the sport as is the lightweight champion.

BILLIARDS
HOPE IS SURELY
 A BOY WONDER


 Albert G. Cutler of Boston, who is playing a match game of billiards against willie" Hoppe, the young billiardist, at the Broadway Billiard academy, failed again last night to reduce the lead that Hoppe has over him. Once more the young wonder hundred points while Cutler was SCOT ing 16s. Nineteen innings were play ed.
 The grand total to date stands: Hoppe, 1,60O; Cutler, 1,17O.
 Hopes work last night was par- ticularly brilliant. He entirely re- versed his method of play of Wednes- day evening, and did beautiful masse work. SlSillful manipulation of the worries enabled him to make high runs of 7S, 64 and 48. His average was 21.
 He took comfortable lead in the early innings, and at no time was he in danger of defeat by the Boston bill Hardist, who seemed to meet with ill- luck. As on Wednesday night, the balls did not seem to roll to his ad- vantage. Though he made remafk- able run of 94 on Wednesday night, the Bostonian was unable to make any long counts last night. The best he could do were two runs of 34 but tons each, followed by run of 30. His other innings were given up in majority to single figures, while the scores of his young opponent were average was S15.
 Hoppe was playing in rare form and displayed better and cooler Judgment than at any time since the tournament began. His open table work brought rounds of applause.
 While Cutler does not show, it by countenance, the big lead that Hoppe has taken worries him, and it is shown in his play.
 Two more blocks of four hundred points each remain to be played in the match, which is of 2,4O0 points 1S-inch two in.
 Another block of four hundred will be played this evening. The deciding play of the match will take place to- morrow night. A numper of noted billiard players watched the young man at play last night, among them Ferdinand Poggenburg, the amateur champion, who noted every movement of Hoppe as he piled up his caroms against Cutler.

THE PUGlLISTS.
IEn BOWKER
 IS COMING
The Chap Who Whipped Neil May Strike a Snag .Here--Joe Cans Tells How He Did It.

If cable dispatch to the American D representative of the National Sport 5 ing club, London, is of any signit1- canoe, Joe Bowker, the worlds ban tam champion, who gained this dis t1nction through victory over Frankie Neil, will shortly visit this country. He is to come here about Christmas time, accompanied by his manager, A. F. Bettinson. Mir Bettin- son is no stranger here, having piloted Pedlar Palmer when the latter came to the United States to fight Terry McGovern at Tuckahoe, N. Y., in 1899. Bettinson is at the head of the Ma tional club and is a shrewd and ex- perienced matchmaker.
 Bowker's plans have not as yet been thoroughly defined, but it is believed that if he comes he will first be seen in six round bouts at Philadelphia. There are any amount of lads here capable of giving the Briton fight, but it is thought that selection will be made between Tommy Murphy of the New Polo A. c. and Hughey Me Govern. Both of these lads gave Neil hard fights for six rounds, and they ought to prove excellent try-outs for the Englishman. They are sturdy, aggressive bantams, and the contest or contests should prove interesting. After stay in the east it is Bowker's S intention to go west and meet Neil again in San Francisco. This is Neil's home city, and if Bowker makes a good impression at Philadelphia the battle should attract a large crowd. Bowker promised Neil a return fight after he defeated him in England; and intends to keep his word.
 LIGHTWEIGHT CONFESSES.
 sConfession is good for the soul," they say, and Joe Cans has made one anent his battle with Jimmy Britt at San Francisco last Monday night. Cans admitted yesterday that he de- liberately lured Britt to commit the foul which lost the scrap for the hot headed Californian. Tn explaining fhis act, Cans said: "There were only two chances for me- was weak and could not have lasted long. Britt, on the other hand, was strong and fight ing like madman, and thought that if slipped to my knees he would be sure to hit me while in passion. The bait worked, and you know the rest If I had not done so would have put my last hope into one final spurt in the hope of landingsa knpckt out s'

 six-round mill with John Willie, the Chicago heavyweight. This encounter is to take place also at Philadelphia.
 The bout was slated for last Tuesday
 night, but Willie wired the club that

HANLoN AFTER M,GovERN.

Eddie Hanlon of California wants another fight with Terry McGovern at Philadelphia. Their last meeting re- suited in victory for McGovern, who knocked the clever Californian out. 1t was a bitter fight, and McGovern had all he could do to win Hanlon that night was far from being in the best of condition. He was fat and dabby, and it seemed as if he had not trained any too faithfully. Terry was asked i. if he would grant Hanlon's request for Aanother mill, said: "Yes, but not Bright away, as I am soon to start in a pIay called "A Race for Life" writ ten for me by Theodore Krener FIere is not much money in fight with Hanlon at Philadelphia just now, I think"

It is seldom taken into consideration I that the greater part of the unfortu- mates are not citizens of Arizona. Sonora is one of the most generous contributors to the asylum. Many of the inmates are persons who came here from the east and north | in ill health and whose minds gave way under the disease. California is also largely responsible for the filling of the asylum. It has been the practice of some counties in the southern part Of the state to make this territory the dumping ground for their weak minded and their indigent.-Republican. l
