Rritishers Gettinu Ready.

London. Oct. MISUNDERSTANDING
the diplomatic check in consequence
of Admiral R~ojestvensky's report, il
is evident that Great Britain is pre-
pairing for the possibility of war. Ire
mendOus activity is reported from ali
d~Ockyards where vessels under repair
are being made ready for sea under
urgent orders from the admiralty.
At Cardiff, il is stated that admiral
~ agents are securing great quaint
ties of coal for Gibraltar, Portsmouth,
Malta and other ports and paying
high freights. The Mediterranean
fleet is Fastening in the direction of
Gibraltar. and it Is announced that
the channel squadron. with decks
cleared. will leave Gibraltar early this
morning. II is alleged the object be-
ing a sham attack on the rock. The
home fleet likewise is concentrating.
In fact. almost the entire British navy
is pointing in the direction of the Bal.
tic feet. a portion of which is ex.
pected TO sail from Vigo during To-
day.

call was issued prior TO the receipt
of Rojcstvensky's report. which chang
ed the situation considerably, and ap'
pears Il place some of the burden OF
proof on Great Britain. the meeting
undoubtedly marks a most serious
stage.
While up TO the present time the
government has maintained an almost
| complete silence with regard TO the
progress of the affair. II is considered
almost certain that Premier Balfour
VINO will make a speech at Portsmouth
tonight will, after "A conference with
the entire cabinet. be In a position &c
make some definite announcement.
II might be said that yesterday was
the first time that any real excite

most intense national feeling, posi-
lively announced that the time limlI
had been set for Russia's reply, anC

THE AMATEURS.
MANAGERS SHOULD
 REMEMBER ONE RULE

At the last meeting of the City league it was generally understood that the teams could change their players next Sunday on the beginning of the last series and those players must remain with the team for the rest Of the season. The last part of the understanding relative to remain ing with the team for the rest of the season is correct, but the first part IS all wrong, as a glance over the rules will show. No players can change next Sunday. As hhey played last Sunday so must they play next Spn- day. That is no player who played with any of the teams last SunQay can jump to another team next Sum- day. He must play with the team last played with or not at all. Tue rule on that point is as follows
 Rule G. No player taking part in any game or games during the first or second series with any team in this league shall be allowed to change dur ing the third or last series to any other team. This applies also to any postponed games of the first or second series, which may have to be played after the third or last serias start, m ts s9 .3
 This point is made emphatic at this time because many managers have al ready started to make changes and they should be warned in time. If a player is played contrary to the rule above given, all such games played will be forfeited.

 Rube Vickers struck out IA men in in a ten-inning game against the Montpelier-Barr team, which was won by the Rube's team. Only five hits were made off V1ckers and the crowd carried him off the field. 1t will be hard to pull the Rube away from such q place.
 Umpire Martens, the basketball ex- pert, officiated in his second game in this city. He had discussion in the fourth inning with Bone, who did not agree with the decision. The ex-polo player was abusive, and when Mar tens penalized him, he deliberately raised his foot and spiked the umpire in the foot. For this sample of row. dyism he was put out of the game. Then Bone raised his arm to strike the official. Martens grabbed his wrist and spun him around like top. This ended the disgraceful scrimmage for the tirne.-Hartford Times.
 Manager Bernstein of the Meriden High school baseball team of 1904, has just received gift from the Yale baseball management that is without equal in the history of the school. The gift, which was sent by Manager Ells- worth, who will next year direct the Yale varsity team, consists of pen nant of blue bearing the inscription 'Yale Interscholastic Baseball Trophy 19o4, Won by Meriden High School" The pennant is the award given the team for their excellent showing in winning the championship of the state for the second consecutive time, a feat rarely done by any state school. Yale is in no way connected with the Connecticut league which is under Wesleyan auspices, and this remem- Brance from the Yale authorities in dicates their intention to make a try for some of the available members of the team and if possible recruit them Yaleward. s

EDDIE MANN PITCHED
 HIS TEAM TO VICTORY

South Manchester. July 22.-The Manchester baseball team accompanied the business men e.s Rocky Point, R. l., on their excursion yesterday and there played a team representing Riv- CT Point. Eddy Mann was in the box for Manchester, the first time since Memorial day, and crowned his return to that position by winning his game and allowing but six hits. The River Point team were unable to score but one run until the last of the ninth, when Eddy let up and two more were added, the final score being Il to 8. The game was interesting for the first six innings. each side then having scored one run. In the sixth, sew enth and eighth Manchester scored ten runs. Montie, who played his first game with Manchester yesterday, do- ing duty on first base, had 21 putouts without an error, He also made three hits, one a two-bagger. Daily connect cd safely three times, Wallace and Guernsey each twice. About 22O per- sons, mostly Manchester people wit messed the game.

visor Dennis Reardon was among them. Denny was not on hand, however, and finally took the advise cf the fans and kept the bench from getting cool.
 Some of the fans were so uncharita- ble as to advise Martens to put Uncle Jim out of the game.
 Features were everywhere. 1t was one of those games where the most dignified fan was moved to try his lung power. When Steamer Flanagan caught fly after a difficult run and then lost 1t twice only to finally cap ture it., the people made so much dis turbance that the old grand stand trem- bled and shook in sympathy.
 When Joe Connor made q one-handed stop of Yale's drive over in back of third and topped 1t off with fine long throw to first, again the people showed their approval. Joe's base running also elicited applause, while Tansey and Crook made good with the stick and were cheered when they came to bat A double play by Altizer, Ed Connors and Crock was so speedy that the pa irons needed glasses to see the ball travel
 Tn the fourth, with Yale on second and no one out, O'Connor introduced a play which met with warm approval. Yale was playing we'll off the base and Pat by beautiful throw to Ed Con nors nailed him and put him out Of trouble. The score:

HolyOke Gives New Haven a Dose of Goose Eggs Springfield Turns Tables on Bridgeport.

Holyoke, Mass, July 22.-New Ha- ven fell before Holyoke yesterday good and hard and the best the Wanderers could get was goose egg. 1t was a great game and not until the end of the ninth inning did New Haven real ize it was to be a whitewash The score was to and according to the playing Holyoke well deserved the game.
 Big Cy Voorhees, was chosen by Holyoke to down the New Haveners and he did what was asked of him. The men from the Elm City were as heIpEess as babies before this large gentleman and made only two hits during he entire nine innings. Fast fielding behind the Holyoke pitcher and wonderful stops by Fitzpatrick, together with running catches by all the outhelders heped Hoiyoke to hold the visitors down
 Hanifan was not hit hard, but was wild at times, which accounts for sew eral of the runs made by Holyol1e. Rogers made bad error at shortstop and Jerry Cornell made one behind the bat. Hanifan added another err or to the New Haven error column. Batch was the only Holyoke man to make an error. Golden and Canavan, the two best hitters in the team, were the only New Haven men to touch the sphere safely. Anderson played a good game at second. Bannon in right field had cinch. He did not have a chance to distinguish himself, as not once during the game did the bali appear in his garden.
 The attendance at the game was un- usually stnall and only 2Se people paid admission onto the grounds. Double plays were the feature of the game. The score:

A Curious Connection Between Ma

A Sur1OuS SO1fhGCt1OA DOLWeCA NAcl
 terial Collectors and Product,
 Reports from the hop fields of New York, which keeps at the head of the hop producing states of the country. indicate an unusually large crop this year. Oneida, Otsego, Schharie and 5Deleware are the four chief hop coun- ties of New York, and when the peri cd of picking is at hand there is a large influx into these counties of tramps from other places willing to earn an honest dollar or two for a few weeks labor in the fields in ad- vance of the winter season.
 Precisely what the connection be- tween hops and tramps is in this country, in England or Germany, which are the three great hop grow ing countries of the world, is not easily stated. By some extreme tenn perance folks is it contended that as hops in the form of beer are responsi- ble for many tramps, the hobos who get few weeks wages in the hop fields are simply recovering part of what they have already spent. But this is an extreme view.
 Whatever the cause may be, in this
