Bisbee daily review., 1904-09-27

The "Old Timer" idea has ben over done by some people an din some re- spects, yet it involves a sentiment that will live as long as pOsterity can trace it's lineage to the fathers of the Territory. it it nothing but natural that the survivors of those grand old days should feel closer together as gap after gap is made by time in their thinning ranks and they have to draw nearer to keep in touch. Every day one drops out and the order comes to close up, and the little circle draws nearer to the center.
 As old soldiers the survivors of a long and wasting war, band themsel- yes together to cherish that old friend shin which was wrought in the days that tried mems souls. so these old veterans of the Arizona frontier find the bonds of mutual sympathy indis- soluble. the nearer the old band comes the end of their journey. They are growing elder and more feeble and 1t is necessary walk hand in hand along the few remaining miles of the rocky trail of life which lies before them.

 pulsiye generation should not attrib- ute this sentiment to groundless con seit or selfish clanishness. These old survivors know and symDathize with each other as the newer generation can never know and sympathize with them. The sentiment among them is rather to be lauded and encouraged than ridiculed and made light of, and when the last one is laid to rest soci ety will begin to understand what il owes to those old heroes, whose last renuest is to be laid under a mesquite tree on the summit of some sunny

Northampton is ready to drop into the Connecticut league If given the opportunity. Someone evidently has lots of money to squander.
 Joe Connor has about made up his mind to play baseball this season al- though there is as yet nothing def1- nite about 1t. He will receive $250 a month from Dan O'Neil for playing catch and the outfield.
 Tom Owens will be back with Springfield once more and so will Ed Connors. Dan O'Neil is fast round ing him a good bunch of ball players and the Springfield fans will be tick led more than ever over their team.
 Frank Fitzpatrick is hustlinR for the Holyoke team for the coming season as he wants to be on firm footing when he faces Springfield. The rivalry between those teams will be greater than ever the coming season.
 New Haven is still in doubt as to grounds for the coming season. Wa

WRESTLING.
PARR IN A
 HARD MATCH.
Jack Munroe Gives Him a
 Pretty Stiff Argument He Won Two Falls Which Wins the Match.

Buffalo, Feb 2.-In a wrestling match that was wicked. Jim Parr, the Englishman, downed Jack Munroe. the burly scrapper, two falls in succession in their catcn-as-cafch-can bout here last night. Parr won the first fall in 15 minutes and 80 seconds with a back hammer lock and quick roll. The, winning fall was won by the Brftisher in 20 minutes and 40 seconds cf whirlwind wrestling.
 The two wrestlers had been on the mat exactly fifteen minutes when Munroe worked Parr into a dangerous position. The boxer had his opponents shoulders a fraction Of an inch from the canvas. With a quick turn Mum roe twisted Parr and then arose from the mat, asserting that he had gained fall Referee Mcbride waved the two men to the center of the ring and told Munroe that he had not gained a fall Almost dazed from surprise, Munroe stood and stared at Parr and the referee.
 With a whirl and a rush the two wrestIers clashed again. Then in one of the fastest and scrappiest tits seen here in months Parr secured a fall. Munroe was savage toward the end and had Parr in a serious position twice.
 When the men came together again MIlnrpe worked over Parr fast and twice he came within an ace of throw ing him, but Paris cleverness came to his rescue and Munroe's chances of victory were tossed to the winds. A.unroe was trying hard when Parr forced him down again.
 Big Al Limerick, who succumbed to Munroe's punches In Boston recently, challenged Munroe for another match. After my match witA Sharkey J Il fight any man in the world" said Munroe Jack Herman then told the two boxers he would put them on at Hort Erie for an opening bout at the International A. c. on March 15.

YALE'S NEW ATHLETES. Sixty Hen Respond to Call for Candi-
 dates Abundant New Material.

New Haven, Feb 2-The call for candidates for the Yale track team which was issued last week brought out about sixty men from whom Trainer Murphy expects to pick out a winning team. The new material, which comprises almost third of the candidates. is very promising. Sew eral of the new men made very good showing ill the class games last fall. and Murphy expects to develop them before the Yale-Harvard meet.
 Ut looks now" said Murphy yes terday. "as though Aale would ~7be strongest in the hurdles, the pole vault and the shot-put this season. The outlook is fair for the half mile. the mile and two miles. Yale is weak but in all the other events she will make a fair showing at least"
 In. the 100 and 220-yard dashes Yale has to depend on the new material all most exclusively. About eight men have reported for these events. Of these T. J. Torrey and 0. Sumner are looked upon as able to run ethe hum dred 10 5 seconds, while TWitcheli. Hammond, Robinson and Sheffield will do better than 10 3-5 seconds Of the old men there are BogaTt and Alexan- der, besides, two, new men,. Grant and WooIsey,. who have not yet demon strated their ability.
 Tn the quarter-mile the only old men in the race will be Long, Bernap and Fallows The new men are Johnson and Gates, both of whom can be re lied on to run the distance in 52 sec onds. which is almost as good as Ser nap and better than Fallows can. do. Deming, who won in the Yale-Harvard meet. last year. will be relied on in the half-mile. His time is minutes, but Parsons, a new man. can travel in 2 minutes 1 second. Hastings and Mof- fat are good for two seconds slower.
 With Alcott. who was second in the intercollegiate last year, Yale ought to be safe in the mile and two mile contests Alcott can be depended upon for minutes 8 seconds, while Hale and Jacobus are good for 4 min utes 35 seconds. Parkhurst and Wood ward are both candidates in this eypD+

Hot After Players.

Clarke Grifith, manager of the New York Americans, is in Chicago, where he has. been conferring with President. Comiskey of the Chicago Americans. While neither has ad- mitted anything, 1t is asserted by several ball players who are fin to know that deal has been fixed up by which New York will trade Tame hill, Williams and possibly Chesbro to Chicago for Pitcher Flaherty, George Davis and Fielder Jones. Davis and Jones are under contract to the New York Nationals, but by the terms of the peace agreement they must play in Chicago with the American league club or be traded to some other team in that circuit. It is hardly probable that Chesbro would be included in such a trade, but Tannehill is in the market, and if Griffith could get Davis he would probably give up williams for all

FOOTBALL CAUSED DEATH
Second Fatality From an Unusual
 Cause in the Same Family.

Mount Vernon, N. Y, Feb 2.-oyer- exe1tion caused by playing football Is believed to be responsible for the death of John Lynch, IT years old, of West Chester, Sunday. He played Rugby a few days ago. After he re- turned home his nose bled, but the bleeding soon stopped and nothing more was thought of it until Satur- day. when young Lynch suffered again with hemorrhages. A physician said he had ruptured a blood vessel in his head He bled necessarily. and the doctors had to pull six of his front teeth to keep him from choking be- cause his jaws had become locked from blood poisoning.
 He was the son of Joseph Lynch, one of the European buyers for New York department store. His parents lost daughter p years old in an un- usual manner a few weeks ago. She was returning from the theater with her mother when the train gave a lurcn and jerked her head so hard that she died in great agony of spinal men- ingitts. +. ..

THE SPORTING NEW ..

terbury will await her decision just few days more and then the pro- moters will drop all thoughts of get ting into the league. There are some who are anxious to secure the team and play the game on the Driving park, but, that would be suicidal There are too many hills in that vii cinity. .=.
 The popularity of Pitcher Jack O'Neill among the St Louis baseball cranks is shown in the circulatio of petition last week asking the own CTS of the National league club in that city to call off the deal by which O'Neill is to be traded to Chicago for Pitcher Jack Taylor. More than 500 names were secured the first day. The club owners have taken the matter under consideration. ,.
 Mccormick of the Hclyokes, the wise little Irishmau who held down third base so brilliantly last summer for the champions will be on third for Brooklyn the coming season. He will get salary of S2,1oo with $500 of it in advance. He has an agree ment that he is to play the first league on third for Brooklyn and stay there. if he makes good. there being no Baltimore transfer wrinkle iu the contract.

No Trade Here.

In regard to the report from Cnica- go that Manager Griffith of the New York Americans had effected traue with Comiskey by which Tannehfll, Chesbro and Williams would be ex- changed for Jones, Davis and FTaher- ty, Treasurer Farrell said yesterday:
 No such trade has been made. We would not think of letting Chesbro or Williams go under any circumstances. Griffith will make deal of another kind, however, in few days, which will greatly strengthen our team. He figures that We will be at least 30 per cent stronger when the American league race begins than we were a year ago"
 'sLefty" Davis. it turns out, was re- leased. by the New York Americans some time ago.

 BUT LOST.
Harry Forbes Was Beating Abe Attell But He Ran Into a Trap and Went Out-.BOxing Notes.

St Louis, Mo, Feb 2.--After having the better of four rounds Of fighting, Harry Forbes of Chicago last night was knocked out in the first part of the fifth round by Abe Attell of San Francisco in twenty round fight for the featherweight championship of the world, at 122 pounds before the West End club.
 In the four preceding rounds Forbes surprised the spectators by his speed and clever work. Forbes not only out pointed Attell, but had him on the de- ,fensive for four fast rounds. Attell tried to mix with Forbes in the second, but was beaten off and compelled to cover up to protect himself.
 In the third round Forbes jumped if aggressively and put two hard jabs to the face and tried to mix up. At tell beat him off, but was forced to cover up.
 Tn the fourth Forbes again rushed Attell and they mixed lively for a time. Forbes apparently had the bet ter of the round by far.
 At the opening of the fifth Forbes rushed at Attel viciously, the latter side-stepping and allowing Forbes to fall against the ropes in such a posi- tion that he could not regain his quickly. While on the ropes with the top rope holding his head up Attell started wild overland right swing that landed on FoTbes's ear and Forbes rolled to the floor and was counted out.
 Referee Sharp counted the fatal ten, but Forbes remained unconscious. Harry was carried to his corner, still unconscious, but revived in few miri- utes. The Chicago crowd lost a btg bunch of money on the fight.

 One Of the notable performances of the numerous trials made was the eoualing of the kilometer record of the world by Charles Balse in the six ty-horse power car of H. l.. Bowden. The record of 26 2-5, which was tied, was made by a 1OO-horse power car driven by Duray on the Dourdan course of Paris. The best miles or the day went to Balse in 43 2-5 sec onds Gnd to s. E. Stevens In like time.
 The noteworthy drive was the trio of steam records established by ""is Ross. who repeatedly cut into George Canon's record, using only tve-horse power machine. MT Stanley carried the record down from 1 minute sec ond to B 2-5 seconds w. J. Hastings, in the little torpedo kid, drove the mile in 1 minute 3-5 of a second: which cuts the electric record of minute seconds by A" l.. Riker.
 The kid was surprise, resembling d torpedo and running so quietly al- most to appear ghost as it tore down the stretch in its surprising mile.
