BASE BALL NOTES.

Tom Bannon will play at first base for Hartford beginning to-day. This will give Bunyan a chance to catch regularly while Doran is recovering.
 There is long gap between Heine Batch and the nearest Holyoke swats- man. Batch is the only regular who is batting up to the expected figure.
 Jack Bagley of this city, the first baseman who is under contract to Springfield, having signed with Roger Connor and never reported, is said to be a candidate for the position of first baseman Of the Philadelphia Nation als Before signing the man the Quaker management must talk with Dan O'Neil.
 An appointment to the National league umpiring staff will probably be rendered Charles Kennedy, former Connecticut league official. He plans to go to New York for conference with President H. O. Pulliam of the National league in reply to an invita- tion received from the National league eague executive

RAGING.
MAJOR DELnAR EQUALS
 THE WORLDS RECORD

With the wind blowing half a gale.
 the sun hidden by cold gray clouds
 and an atmosphere that suggested the
 early days of fall, Major Delmar trot-
 ted mile yesterday over the Empire
 track in 2:O2A. This equals the
 worlds record without wind shield
 made by Cresceus, and, all conditions considered, was by far the greatest
 trotting performance in harness ever
 recorded.
 The trial was made late in the afs
 ternoon, at the end of the racing pro- gram, because the conditions were too
 unfavorable at the hour originally aps pointed. Instead of diminishing, the wind kept blowing stronger, and the hoped for sunshine did not material- izes Only the most sanguinA ventured to hope that the horse would equal his performance of 2:04, made over the same track last year. At the second score the word was given and the journey was begun. The quarter pole was reached in OBI, just the rate of speed over this slow por- ton of the track for record breakingl performance. Down the back stretch the true, rapid action carried the Ma jor faster than two minute gait, and the half-mile pole was reached jn 1:00A This was O:29A for the sec. Ond quarter. Around the turn the
 rate of speed was evenly maintained. the three-quarter pole being reached' in 1:3O1a.
 By this time the excitement was at fever heat, and every occupant of the grand stand seemed to be shouting as with one voice, He will beat all rec-
 ords." On came the new champion
 until he bade fair to reach the even two minute mark
 Then came the time when nature called halt. Slowly, but still per lceptibly, the stride shortened, and in
 the last few strides anxious watches
 counted aloud the seconds as they were ticked off. Two minutes one. l two, and then the wire was reached with one more beat recording 2:021z.
 For an instant there was absolute si- l lence as each spectator looked to aTl- other to confirm what he had seen. Then as all realized when the figures were put on the timing board migh-l l ty shout went up.

SUNDAY RIDING.

Nearly 5000 spectators cheered Frank l.. Kramer after his victory in the five mile N. c. A circuit cham pionship event at the Vailsburg track yesterday, but Kramer's team mate, W. $. Fenn, deserved some of the ap- plause, for he helped the champion win the race. Twenty-six riders started. The lap prizes kept the bunch moving and the $1O prizes ar the end of each of the first three miles were the causes of hard strug gles. Dorlon led at the end of the first mile, and the second mile prize went to Walter Bardgett of Buffalo. Fogler won the third mile prize and then he and Dorlon tried to go and make runaway, Fogler also winning $5 for leading at the fourth mile. Query was with the pair and they let him lead one of the dollar lap prizes. The trio gained a quarter of a lap be- fore any of the others went after them.
 As no one else showed any disposi- ton to chase Fogler and Dorlon, Fenn started in pursuit and had to ride for more than a mile before he could overhaul the runaways. Kramer contented himself. with riding in the bunch and did not exert himself un- til the last lap. Mcfarland, with Root in tow, began to sprint before the bell rang and led for the bell lap. Following Root were Menus and John Bedell, with Tenn and Kramer behind the Lynbrook riders. Fenn made a great sprint from his bad position and paced Kramer up to the Bedells before he sat up as he entered the back stretch. Kramer drew up on Root as they rounded the last turn, and had a slight lead as they rode into the straight Kramer won from
 Menus Bedell by length with John Bedell few feet back of his brother and the same distance ahead of Root.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
MAN IS FORGED.

The following is question over which there has been many dispute among certain players in the City league: A runner is on first. The batter hits the ball to shortstop. The shortstop throws to first and retires the batter. The first baseman throws to second to retire the runner. Does the. second baseman have to touch the runner or will it suffice to touch the base? Many claim the runner should be touched with the ball to retire him, while others claim 1t is only necessary to touch the base.
 The man is forced and the touching of second base retires him. For in, stance, take it another way. The ball is batted to first base and the first baseman gets it and touches the bag and then throws to second. Only the base need be touched. in this case. The man who was on first cannot go back to first, therefore he must be forced off that base, and if he is the touching of the second base Is suf- fcient.

THE AMATEURS.
GREAT IS
 THE INTEREST
Biggest Crowd That Ever Attended Ball Games in This City Was There Yes- terday-ClOse Race is On.

Tho largest crowd of the season witnessed the three games at River side park yesterday. The outlook for clear day was rather gloomy i'll the morning, but old Sol burst out i'll all it's glory shortly after 1 o'clock and by the time the games started the grounds were ill good condition.
 The first game was between the Brooklyns and Pastimes. Both teams were out to win and had their very best men on the field. John Kelly, who has been playing field for his team all the year, was in the box for the Broolxlyns and, pitched in, his old time form. Dwyer caught him. Barker and Spellman was the battery for the west end boys.
 The game started off with Brook lyn at the bat and they immediately started in to win the game, for when they retired they had three runs to their credit. In the fourth inning they secured one more. The ,Pastimes were unable to do anything with kelly's delivery up to the sixth inning, when they made a desperate effort and sue ceeded in tieing the score. This was accomplished by the Pastimes light ing onto Kelly's delivery delivery for four consecutive hits and base on balls. This ended the scoring until the ninth when the Brooklyns made one more run and the run that won the game for them. With one man put Lallier came to the bat and bang ed out beauty hit to left field. The ball struck the crowd that was sitting in left garden and Franks was unable to find it at once. When he did final l~x al hoH H rnQRh06 third base. The next Brooklyn batter hit q high fly right over short and Franks caught it easily. But something seemed co be wrong with the Pastime left fielder for instead of throwing the ball home to retire Lallier, he turned to the crowd and waved his hand at the people. When he came to himself the Brooklyn runner was almost home and the beautiful throw that he made to the plate amounted to naugft If Franks had thrown the ball home at once after catching it he could have retired Lallier. In the last of the ninth Hodge was the first batter up for the Pastimes and slashe1 out a two bagger. 1t looked as IT the Pastimes were going to score. The succeeding batter banged out what looked like safe hit, but Jerry Shugrue made star catch of it and doubled Hodge up on second. With this play went the Pastime's chance Of tying the score and the game end ed five to four in favor of the Brook Ivns The score. RH B.

CITY AMATEUR NOTES.

Talk about your amateur leagues, look at that race in the Greater Wa terbury league. Three teams are tied for first place and the contests are exciting. That should be great fin ish.
 Billy Bowe of the Washington ETills relieved Slocum i'll the seventh inning yesterday. After the change the Merrimacs made only one run. Yesterday was Bowe's first appear ance ill the game this year.
 There is some talk of protesting the Brookly Pastime game yesterday be cause of spectator holding the ball out in left field in the last inning, al lowing a Brooklyn man to reach third base. It looks as if that point ought to have been up to the umpire
 Should the Brooklyns win both of the games which they have yet to play and the Merrimacs win the four games they have to play. the two teams would be tied for first place, Next Sundays game wifi go a long way toward deciding the pennant win- her.
 The two handsome silver cups which are being fought for ill the City Amateur and Greater Waterbury leagues are on exhibition in the win. dow of the Gaffney JeWelry Go. Both are beautiful trophies aNd will be nice decoration for the rooms of any of the clubs competing.
 Lallier of the Brooklyns knocked the ball into left field. It fell in the midst of a group oftspectators. One of them picked the ball up and pnt,it under him. He sat on it long enough for Lallier to make third base, then he threw in to the f1elder-a brick. What the Brooklyns or any other team doesn't approve of.
 Franks of the Pastimes certainly had an off day yesterday. He not only dropped an easy fly, but allowed the Brooklyns to score the run that proved the win ming one. He paid too much atten- for a player to put up q good game land talk to the spectators at. the same time. sctrz
 A crowd at baseball game is what is known as a necessary evil. 1t will neither dictate nor obey. It does just as 1t pleases. It will not be roped in, nor will it be regulated. Useless to attempt to do anything with it. It always was in the way and always will be-that is, at the City league games. The games are stopped by the umpires and mana gers and all kinds of threats made that the teams will leave the grounds \ if they don't stand back. But with out avail; the crowd knows better; it knows the games will be continued and smiles serenely at the players approximations and objections. Here's to the crowd-the game would be slow without it. and here's to the crowd hoping it'll stand back ,and give the players room in the future.

A BATTLE ROYAL.

The Washington Hills and Merri- macs had q battle royal on the upper diamond. The game started at 3 o'clock. Byrnes and Slayin were in the points for the Merrimacs and Slo- cum and McNIahon for the Hills. The game had progressed few innings when the first difficulty was met with. Of course it was the crowd. They surged around the field at all points and delayed the game ire quently.
 The game was an exciting one and so was the crowd. Lots of hits were made and so were many errors, Many a batter made two or three bases on his hit when if the crowd was or the field he would only get to first. A few home runs were made and a great many two and three baggers There were too many errors to call 1t a good game, but heavy hitting enough to make it an exciting one. In the sixth inning the Merimacs won the game. They lit on Slocum' s delivery and pounded him good and hard. When the smoke cleared up thev had scored six runs which made tbe tally 13 to 6. The Hills secured fhre more runs in the next few 1n- nfngs and the Merimacs one With the score IA to 9 against them the Hills came to the bat for the last time and made tremendous effort to tie or pass their opponents score The first batter was retired; the next got his base.

Three men still on bases and two out. Pete Lawlor, the HiIl's captain steps to the bat and soon had two strikes chalked up against him. With two strikes and two balls against Pete he picked out a ball that just suited him and bang ed a pretty two bagger over into the right field crowd. Three men scored. This ended the scoring as the next man struck out. Final score IA to 12 in favor of the Merimacs. The score: Merrimacs ....4 o 3 0 4 1 1 0-14 Hills ....3 o 0 2. 0 2 3-12

 A WHIRL WIND
Helps His Team Mate, Kra- mer. to Land a Winner Sensational Finishes Sat- urday and Sunday.

A good sized crowd and race that brought all the spectators to their feet and kept them there '.extended'' during dts whole six miles, made the cycle contests at Manhattan Beach Saturday remindfuI of old times.
 The best event of the day was the innovation, miss and out'' race was tried once on the Jersey track re- gently. The plan was to have a prize for the leader of the most laps and to have the rider who was last at each lap drop out and the race con tinue until only two were left.
 It was bruising race all the way and it was not much of surprise when Hurley was dropped in next to last lap 1t was Lee who did this, making q great sprint with Downing on his wheel. Lee and Downing made a fine duel of it in the last lap Downing winning by only few inches
 The new teaming combination, Root and Mcfarland, was seen at work for the first time in the two-third mile dash. Mcfarland and Root declared for team work in the final as did Tenn and Kramer. Root carried Me- Farland to the front early and kept him there, while for half of the sec ond lap Tenn and Kramer were shut in behind their rival pair. In the third turn of the last lap Fenn and Kramer got out, Fenn pulling the champion rapidly to the front. 1t was a hummfng finish and Fenn had all he could do to get Kramer in front of Mcfarland and keep him there, and yet not win himself He had no chance to get out of the way, being on the pole, and he and Kramer came up to the tape nearly abreast with Me Farland Tapped on them. Kramer won from Fenn by a few inches, and Mcfarland was third by about u length.
 The Hook handicap, at one mile, for a purse of $500, "all to the win ner," inspired great struggle for the money. Fenn and Kramer caught up with the bunch in the second lap. h the last turn Kramer made his bid, with Mcfarland fighting him ev- cry inch of the way. Caldwell, from the front ranks, also went out dnd neck and neck with the champion to the tape, both of them drawing away from Mcfarland, who sat up when he saw his case was hopeless five yards from the tape. Caldwell was beaten by Kramer by less than, a length, and the crowd cheered loudly for his great ride.
