SECRETARY BRENNAN TALKS.

SECREIARY BRENNAN IALhS.
 Waterbury, July 1, 1904. Sporting Editor Evening Democrat:
 Dear Sir-The Waterbury semi professionals will not play at Green field, Mass. tomorrow as Manager Lallier has cancelled the game. The reason for this is that there has been too much smuckerism' among the players and too much yellow journal talk also to suit the management.
 The talk of two managers Is false and without foundation. F. J. Lal- Her is manager pure and simple, and that is all there is to it. He engages his players, pays them after each game and attends to everything but the correspondence.
 When players who are. not fast enough for league company, who can- not play any better than some of those on the Consolidated, are not willing to accept $3 q game it is time to give some of the other players in this city who can hold on to ball thrown into their hands once in q while, and can hit little, n chance to play on Waterbury's representative team.
 The team will continue to play games just the same for the rest of the season and expect to have a stronger team than ever.

THE PUGIL.ISTS:
BOB WAS
 KNOCKED OUT
Only Figuratively Though, and His Wife Was Victor -Corbett and McGovern in Philadelphia.

New York, July 1.--Robert Eitzsim- mons, former heavyweight champion of the world, and at present the. hold CT of the light heavyweight champion ship title, was knocked out yesterday on Broadway near Thirty-first street.
 Two hundred citizens saw the con- test, and cheered the victor as Bob was helped into carriage and driven swiftly away.
 The freckled fighter had come to town from his home In Bepsonhurst, where he has been training for his match with Jack O'Brien, and had stopped in at photographers place with Mrs Fitzsimmons and his son, Robert, Jr.
 Now the sun was shining on Broad way yesterday It was sizzling i'll front of the photographic studio when the dainty Mrs Fitzsimmons stepped out from the protecting shelter of the awning.
 sDear me-" said she, "It's hot"
 Let's. walk uptown; 1t will be cool CT" replied MT Fitzsimmons.
 T don't think I shall," replied his wife. A crowd gathered.
 Come on,' said Fitz. "The walk ing's fine.''
 Gracious mev' said Mrs Fitzsim- mons, "I'm sizzling up now" and she retreated under the awning. "Get a carriage, Bob.'.'
 Nope" said the champion, well get better breeze walking
 Mrs Fitzsimmons steadied herself for straight jab. It landed on Bob's nose. Robert" said she, looking straight into the lanky scrapper's blue eyes, "we-you and and Bobby here will get carriage. We'll burn IF 1 if we walk"
 Mrs Fitzsimmons threw all her weight into tn next blow. Robert Fitzsimmons," said she, grabbing Bobby by the hand, "not step. I'm melting. If you don't come, I'll go alone. That's finaln 1t was straight from the shoulder and Bob winced. The old man was considerably shaken up. The crowd 1 by this time was standing around watching the contest and casting ad. mfring glances at the little woman in the opposite corner. The light heavy weight champion finally succumbed Mrs Fitzsimmons waited under the shelter of the awning, with a gleam ot | victory in her eyes, while Bobby Longlegs cantered off under the broil | ing sun for an open barouche

 Fred Does press agents have been idle of late. Freds last effort, when he s'purchased'' the five Worcester players, was a grand stand play, but it didn't go down in New Bedford.

 Waterbury is much interested in the career of the Holyoke club. Such in- terest is natural, for the original Hol- yokes-the Holyokes of the champion ship-were transferees from Water bury But some person who writes for the Waterbury American goes farther. He is so intensely absorbed in the pros perity of his former townsmen that any transaction affecting Holyoke's players receives from him prompt and generous space Some reliable authority" has told the American that Fitzpatrick has asked for his release, and that unless he gets it The will quit the team and either go into business or play indepen- dent ball." Then follows a tale of dis gruntlement. cliques and managerial mistakes. That 1t has shadow of foundation cannot be denied. But why prolong the unpleasantness? Fitzpat- rick confesses to no desire for re lease now, With rare good sense he has decided to make the best of situ- ation not all to his liking and Is just at present playing the best ball of his career.

BRAVERY OF RUSSIANS.
Incidents That Show Rare Personal
Courage of Czar's Soldiers

Incidents That Show Rare Personal
Courage of Czar's Soldiers
Here is a story of Russian bravery.
written by William Thorp in the April
Worlds Work:
There is monument in Turkestan to
several Russian soldiers captured by
the TurcOmans in 1879. They were
artillerymen, and their guns were cap
tured with them SO the Turcomans
naturally ordered them, on penalty of
death, to serve those guns against their
own comrades. Every man refused.
choosing death by horrible torture and
dying without a murmur.
This passion for self sacrifice is the
keynote of the Russian character and
is cultivated in the army by every
possible means. The recruit is in
variably told the story of that heroic
company of infantrymen in the Iona
kin expedition into Tukestan, who, at
a critical r. oment, threw themselves
into deep ditch in order that the guns
which were sorely needed at the front
might be gallOped over their bodies. 1t
Is doubtful whether this could have
happened in any army but Russia's.
A former captain of the Russian
army told me of a friend of his who
lived for years in small town and
was then ordered away to st. Peters
burg. In less than six months he re-
ceived a command to return and
promptly blew his brains out.
Nobody was surprised" said my
friend. 1--WE all knew what life in
such places is like. A man can be
happy in Siberia only on lonely out
post where he has no companion of his
own rank within hundred miles. But
there is no happiness possible in a
small Russian garrison town for man
Of average intelligence"

JaraEss Great Need.

There's land in the east, SO the song
singers say,
Where they make all their houses of pa
pier mache.
There the girls entertain you cross legged
on mats,
And the men wear grass brooches and
chopping bowl hats.
There the maids are all comedy, sweet
tempered and neat,
Yet they juggle with chopsticks whenever
they eat.
There they always receive you in butter
fly clothes,
With their hair like young haystacks and
cheeks like the rose.
And that Is the land where chrysanthe-
NUNS grow,
And that is the land where the soft breezes
blow,
And that is the land where each almond
eyed miss
Can make googoo eyes. yet don't know
how to kiss,
And that is the land where they need
Yankee boys
To teach the fair natives the greatest Of
joys.

Of lofty ideals and dignified demeanor

winter, when it's product was worth
its weight in gold. The motherly in
stinct Of the hen came on, however,
and it wanted to sit.
Mr. Probert drove her from pillar
to post; but, as it was time to sit, the
hen was determined to sit, and to
achieve its purpose it finally sought
the topmost branches Of big tree in
the yard. In the top the hen laid an
egg, on which it now sits secure and
unmolested. Several hawks have at
tackled the hen, but have learned to
keep their distance.

who succumbed to the heat in the Kan
