At Hartford


Hartford, July 9--The session Of the
Hartford and New London ball PLAYERS
yesterday afternoon was stormy. Man
ager Kennedy OF Hartford and Man
ager Humphreys of New London were
the committee on rules and OF course
fney couldn't agree. The presiding
ofncer, Steve Lambert, finally ruled the
Whalers off the field and awarded the
game to Hartford, 8 to o. 1t was the
first forfeit made here in some time.
1t was an unsatisfactory way to get a
game, but there is little doubt the
game will stand. The New London
manager wanted to appear in the light
of true sportsman and consented to
have his men finish the game as an ex-
hibition. When the official game end
ed the score was to in favor of New
London. In the exhibition game Hart
ford made a run in the eighth and New
London tailed one in the ninth.
In the sixth the final argument was
made. After one was gone Finn sin
gled. The ball was thrown to the plate
from the field and returned to first so
that Finn was touched before he got
back to the base. The claim was made
that he turned to the right while in fair
ground and this made him base rum
ner. 1t was supposed that lie was
going to try for second il the bali got
by Doran on the throw from the field.
There was long wrangle over this
and as the New London players re,
fused to continue with Lambert Off
ciating, he declared the game forfeited.
Humphreys claimed that he did not
have fine minutes warning. Hum
phreys had an animated conversation
with the fans in the grand stand and
then consented to have his men finish
out the game as an exhibition. The
score:

THE SPORTING NEWS.

AS the result of his jump at that
time he was forced to remain in the
back woods pitching ball for the re-
mainder of the season. This season
Manager O'Neill gave the Hartford
management permission to do business
with him. and for several weeks Al
wore Hartford uniform. He failed
to make good and again retired to the
suburbs. Now he has broken into the
league again, this time with Meriden.
The Ponies wanted to beat him bad
ly, but Bill Luby, who was In the box
for Springfield, was erratic, and head
less playing on several occasions by
the Ponies broke in Meriden's favor.
The score was to 3.
One OF the largest crowds of the
season for Meriden less than 500 paid
turned out to see the Ponies, and they
saw a fast and exciting game. 1t was
marred by only one incident, and that
was the disgraceful behavior of Alti-
zer formerly a member of the Merl-
den team.
In the fifth inning Burke lifted a
foul high in the air. The ball belonged
to Pat O'Connor. but Altizer shouted
Eve got it," and so Pat made room
for him. After running nearly to the
plate Altizer got under the ball only
to drop it. Naturally this gave the
crowd a great chance to. jolly Altizer
and the rooters certainly made the
most of their opportunity. When the
side was retired and Altizer started for
the players bench shouts Of tive got
it" were heard on every side. This SO
provoked Altizer that he deliberately
turned to the people in the grand
stand and thumbed his nose at them.
Manager O'Neill did not see this ac-
tion on Altizer's part or he would have
benched him Immediately, as he stated
after the game. The Meriden man
agement was greatly incensed and
even spoke. of having Altizer arrested
for breach of the peace. During the
rest Of the game Altizer was roundly
Kissed every time he came to the bat
or took his position on third. The score:

4 DEAD MANS RACE.

There is at least one authentic re-
cord OF a dead mans winning a cycle
race. The riders name, IL we remem-
Der rightly, was Somerville, and the
race was for championship in Aus
tralia. The struggle, which was
watched by 10000 spectators, was
very close and keen, but in the final
squirt Somerville, by supreme effort,
gained a lead of couple of yards,
which he maintained until within a
few yards of the winning post. Here
he suddenly dropped his hands, but
the impetus he had gained carried
him first past the winning mark when
he fell with a terrible crash. He had
won the race, but, the doctors declar-
ed, he died at the moment his hands
dropped and before the race was fin

WHO sCHoLEs is.
His Record Much More Meritorious
Than ANY Other.

z
Scholes' time of minutes and %
seconds breaks by six seconds the rec
ord for the course, which was made in
1898 by B. H. Howell Of Albany, v.
Y, then a student at Oxford, in final
heat for the diamond SOULS. The Hem
ley course measures one mile and $50
yards.
BY winning the Diamonds" Scholes
has proved himself to be the best
American amateur who ever sat in
scull boat. He is the third sculler
from this side of the water to win the
coveted trophy, r. H. TenEyck being
the winner in 1896 and B. Hunting
Howell or Albany fiji 1898. But
Scholes' victory is much more meri-
torious than either of these, for not
only did he break his record, but incl
dentaIy he defeated r. S. Kelly of
Oxford and Australia in the semi-final
heat, regarded as the most powerful
amateur sculler ever seen in England.
Kelly won the Diamonds" last year
and the year previous.
Scholes is the eldest son of John
Scholes of Toronto, who was in mis- day
a noted oarsman and more than once
won the amateur boxing championship
Of Canada. and was well known to all
the old-time boxers in the United
States, as well as across the border.
Following in the footsteps. of his pa
rent, it was MS a scrapper that the
diamond winner was first introduce
ed to 1ublic notice. He won the heavy
weight amateur championship Of the
dominion and meantime was doing a
little in the sculling line.
In 1902 he annexed the amateur
sculling championship OF Canada and
such form that his entry was imme-
diately forwarded to Henley. On his
way abroad Scholes appeared in the
Memorial day regatta OF the Harlem
Regatta. association, and the race be-
tween himself and Titus was one OF
| the best events ever seen on the river.
Scholes won, but was beaten in the
4 preliminary heat for the Diamonds, I
at Henley, by Titus. to the surprise OF
the rowing fraternity. Titus was af-
| forwards defeated sixteen lengths by
Kelly in one of the heats.
Scholes did not participate much In
1 racing last year, but came to Worces'
ter and won the N. A. A. O. champion,

twenty seconds faster for a mile be
fore leaving for England, and the ru
NOR proved true enough, according tc
his work at Henley.

POL
CHANCES ARE PLAYERS
WILL GET GOOD SALARIES

Polo players in the east have receiv-
ed no contracts as yet for next sea-
son in the western leagues, but they
are not surprised at the fact, and
don't expect to hear from the western
managers until September at the
earliest. Most of them are ON the re-
serve list, and are not borrowing
trouble.
There is a possibility that an "un-
Outstanding" will be arrived at be-
tween the Western and the Central
leagues, in which event it is nroba-
BILE that there would be n ''readiust-
ment" of salaries by another season.
The best men drew heavy pay last
winter, ranging from the $S5 drawn
by Bone to $50 by DicISie Pierce and
Cunningham, and $50 and $50 and not
under $40 all along the line. There is
a feeling that perhaps $50 may be
made the limit next winter-provided,
of course, that the managers stick
to salary limits, which experience has
taught Is seldom the case after the
fight really begins for position and the
dollars of the enthusiastic public.
With a big city league running, too,
the chances are that salaries in the
west would continue to be worth
while for any players for consider
able time vet, and the good men are
not likely to eat snowballs for con-
siderable time yet.
