THE SPORTING NEW :.

was red letter day for the New Ha- ven baseball team and Phil Corcoran was the hero of the day. Not a run and furthermore not single hit, tells the story of what Pitcher Corcoran did to the New London team. Had it not been for the several bad errors made by the visitors, more than the usual nine innings would have had to been played to decide the winner of the game. It was fast game from start to finish and one of the most in- teresting games played at Savin Rock this season. Keane. New Londons second baseman, was accountable for three errors which assisted New Ha- ven in scoring its four runs.
 New London has the reputation of owning some heavy hitters. They were all in the game yesterday and did all possible in their power-to hit Cor coran. Six innings out of the nine the New London men went out one, two, three, and during the game only a few men succeeded in reaching first base safely. Corcoran never before dis played such pitching ability. The score. R.H.E. New Haven 8 o 0 0 o 0 o I *-4 6 8 New London 0 0 o 0 o o 0 O-O 0 s

 Naturally, the natives were sugper4sd4 The white farmers organized spoess9 bands of vigilantes to watch. but night after night brought forth no rssulk. Cows which should have given large supplies in the morning would ystuEa from q nights grazing on the rich graaN absolutely dry, although 1t was csrtaza no human being had approached 'thsrnl during the night.
 The explanation has been found neI last; at least. In the opinion-of some ofI the farmers and 1t has come from thai natives. The far-famed and AalmOs9de~I gendary anilkma1d" flying fish havaI again returned to the shores of Hawaii and are plying their peculiar vocation
 It was only after many natives hn4l been given aspecies of the third degree (! by the suspicious husbandmen that the explanation was given.
 According to them the watars of the Pacific contain a strange species of.ny~E ing fish which thrives on milk aiones The native word translated means "milkmaids." These fish, say the na- tiyes, first appeared in the latter part osl the eighteenth century and were sup~ posed to come from the shores of Aua- tralasia. They have long. pliable shouts, and when once in action cannot be da~ tached.
 Their plan. it is said, Is to swim through the surf quietly to the shore, where. hyf jumping up in the air, they can discover. a herd of goats or sheep or COWS gra- ing on the sea grass. They then arise. es If in ordinary flight. and. as if prear- ranged, certain ones end their flight on certain animals There they dangIe un- I til their thirst or hunger is appeased OF | the supply runs short. They then swing themselves loose and at the same time l gain the impetus which enables them to reach the sea again. Once in very long while, 1t is said. one of these fish is cap-l tured because he is so greedy that heI cannot fly at all after his meal. The cows, it is said, never heed their strange milkmaids. because the iiutter of the wings of the fish produces a cur :. rent the air most pleasing on a warm night.

THE PUGIL.ISTS. THREE ROUND
 CONTEST
Kid Criffo Put Out Boy Bur- dick-Forfeits for Jeffries and MunrOe Not Yet Pos t. ed-NOtes.

New York. Aug. 1.-Two hundred men took advantage of a quietly cir culated tip and attended prizefight with small gloves at Fort Lee last nightingale The principals were John- ny Burdick of Harlem and Kid Griffo of this city. They were to have met for fifteen rounds at catch weights, the end came in the third round, with Burdick the victor. The fight while 1t lasted was one of the best seen ill many day. Although GrIffo was out chased, his showing was fine and his display of gameness was much ad- mired. The go was for side bet Of $250 and the purse of $500. Those present paid $5 each to witness the en- counter.
 The crowd gathered early in the evening at resort in East Fourteenth street. and went from there in twos and fhTees to the scene of the battle. The fight was over in time for the spectators to get back to town before midnight.
 The combat took place i'll n well lighted and roomy hall, The betting favored Burdick because of his repu- tation and the fact that he was in bet ter condition than his rival, Tn order not to have any dispute over the deci- sion, two judges were selected. They were Ted Cohen and Paul Kelly Flor rie Barnett was the referee. Griffo was handled by Jimmy Frank, Abe Kuthner and Tom Clancy. Burdick's seconds were Dan McKetrick. Com mndore Dutch" and Joe Sullivan. Straight Queepsberry rules prevailed. the men to protect themselves at all times.

A Aretor Torpeao noat.

Another naval novelty. The British admiralty have decided upon having a motor torpedo boat built The vessel will be 130 feet long and carry on her deck a tube that can be trained all round, says the Pail Mall Gazette. It is propoaRd that the motors shall be placed below the water line and cov- cred with a protective deck. One ad- vantage the motor boat possesses over the steam propelled one is that it has no funnel and makes no smoke. This renders it more difficult of detection at nighttime and of course more effective for use in an attack ma1e under cover .nM .x.m all s,s..

Norwich appeared with some new faces, one Hartsel, brother of the Philadelphia player guarded second base. He is. not strong enough for even Norwich.

McHale, one of the Pennsylvanians, bought by Norwich, has written that he will send back the advance money and continue to play independent base ball.
 Pop Slater of Holyoke may not try to stick in the game after this season, but he can retire with the satisfaction of being the best timely tapper in the league.
 The future of Batch is troubling many Connecticut league critics. Batch is better third baseman than he Is hitter, because he goes after too many balls.
 Red Owens Is such hero in York, Pa, that he has cigars, mixed drinks and other commodities named after him. Can anyone wonder whether he is making good?
 Tom Standard, formerly Holy Cross shortstop, who was signed with Pitts burg of the National league, has been turned over to Jersey City, champion team of the Eastern leagle. Stank- ard thus far has the honor of being on two champion teams in single sea- son.
 McGraw at one time played quar- ter back on the St. Bonaventllre col lege team. A pretty husky eleven could be chosen from the professional base ball ranks with McGraw Mathew son, Fultz, Lundgren, Moran, Harry Mccormick, Barry, Jake Stahl and Deylin as members.

I haven't made up my team yet, but the following men have promised to go, Chance, Hug gins, Evers, Tinker, O'Neill, Brown, Lundgren aud Barry, Eyers will play third base and Huggins second. No, don't think the trip will have any bad effect in the way of making players stale, as we wont play often enough. not over two games week. The trip Itself ought to benefit anybody.

FRANKLIN FIELD. Philadelphia.
Nov. 2s.-Desperately hghting. yielding
only by inches. Navy went down in de-
feat before Army's fast team on Frank
Iin FIELD yesterday. and when the ref
eress shrIn whistle closed the game the
score was Il TO 0 in favor Of the West
Pointers.
1t was a glorious victory. although
many Army men were disappointed be-
cause the score was not larger. The
score. however. was larger than was
warranted By the difference in the play
of the two teams. for 1t was apparent
after the first few plays that the Navy
was stronger Than recent reports had

But the Army team was stronger still.
both In defense and offense. in kicking
and in the handling OF punts. At every
point OF the game the West Pointers
met the best the AIiddies had 10 show
with something a shade better.
Consistent Attack.
Seldom has there been seen a more
consistent and dogged attack against a
strong defense than that made by the
Army which resulted in the second
toucndowns. From mldheld the Soldiers
carried the ball in short rushes. most OF
them netting not more than two or
three yards. to the Nays l-yard Ahe'
and then Torney was forced over Tor
the last score of the game. II was d
spIendid attack. In the whole fitty-fve
Yards OF ground covered only one hrsI
down was gained without going the fuil
limit Of their downs. On several occa-
sIons il was a matter OF inches whether
or no Navy's defense had proved too
strong The attack was directed prin-
eipalIv al the tackles and guards, for
Nayy's ends were so strong that the
Army was seldom able 10 gain in Jhat
direction.
Although the style of play adopted by
both teams led largely 10 close forma-
tions in the line. there We're several
spectacular ydaws TO endiven the game
Most spectacular OF all was Upton re-
markable effort which resulted in the
first touchdown. Surely the Army's III

Pointers look at it. And Upton proved
