"RED" WALLER's WORK.

'Red' Waller IS having some run with the Porto Ricans in the baseball line. He writes home to Manager O'Rourke that his arm was never Tn better shapa and that he will be ready to jump right into the game when the season opens. In a recent game he allowed but one hit and famed out no less than sixteen men in a seven inning game. "Red" always could pitch a bit. If he is up to last sea- sons form and will stay with the club from beginning to end, he will win q lot of games with the team Manager O'Rourke intends to place behind him.
 At the close of last season Waller pitched against the two New York teams and the Brooklyn team and won all his games. He held the New York Nationals down to nine hits and no runs, his team. the Bayonnes,. winning by the score of to o.
 It now looks as though more of the Connecticut league teams will start off in fairly strong shape than ever this year. Bridgeport, Meriden. Hol- yoke, Norwich and New London all loom up strongly. Springfield will not be so bad with the additions Man. ager O'Neill will make to it, so that New Haven and Hartford will be about the only experiments. Taking the teams as they stand to-day and Holyoke is hardly as strong as year ago unless Batch returns. The loss of Batch, Rossman and Mccormick will be hard to make good, especially the first two Those two players did more to win the pennant for Holyoke than any four others. Holyoke may get Batch back. as there is a dispute about him. but Rossman is probably gone for the season.-Bridgepor Post.

THE PUGILlSTS. TAKING THE
 LAST COUNT
The Old War Horse of the Prize Ring John L. Sul. livan Believed to be Dy- ine-Other Notes.

Philadelphia, March 22.-Despite the declaration of Jack Mccormick, the manager of Marvin Hart, that Hart would be on hand last night to meet Gus Ruhlin, in the widely advertised battle, Hart did not put in an appear ance. Ruhlin was on hand to do busi- ness, but the Lenox club sdid not open its doors and the money was refunded at the box office. As no forfeit money had been posted, there was nothing to lose except time and expense. No ex- cuse is given for the failure of Hart to keep his appointment. He and Me- Cormick left Hot Springs together Mccormick came east by way of Chi cago and Hart went to Louisville, his plan being to come on at once to this city. He failed to do so. Mccormick declares that he has been unable to reach Hart by wire and can give no ex- planation Of Hart actions. 'Cold feet is mentioned as one reason why Hart thought it wise to keep away from Ruhltn, but that is only what some Of the sports say.

NEIL ANSWERS M'GovERN.

The recent ded of Hughey McGovern to meet Frankie Neil, the bantam champion, for the title in his division, has been answered by Jim Neil, the champions father, who acts and does all of Frankie's business. The elder Neil says that if Sam Harris, McGov-- ern's manager, so desires, the combat can be arranged at once: but If not, the affair will have to be deferred un- til next fall, as Neil intends to come east and remain in New York for & few months. Neil adds that the reason why he did not answer Harris i'll the past relative to McGovern's challenge is because he did not think that the clubs would arrange a date for the mill He has since received assurance that they would. hence his eagerness to bind a scrap right away. 1t is like ly that Harris will go to the Pacific coast the latter part of this month Ill company with Jim Jeffries. who ex- poets to leave for California to begin training for his mill with Jack Nun roe. If Harris starts then the bout, if made. will be held a few weeks De- fore Munroe and Jeffries have 1t out.

NOT ANY BETTING.

San Francisco, March 22.-The fight between young Corbett and Jimmy Britt in this city next Friday night promises to be largely attended. The boxers have practically finished their heavy training, and will conflne them selves to light exercise hereafter
 Interest In the training has been su- perseded by discussion Of the peculiar ity attending the betting. or rather the lack of betting. Not dollar has been placed with the usual booksellers. The lack of betting is due to the maneu- vering for odds. The Britt men want the short end at 10 to 6, while the Corbett following declare that 10 to 8 would be a fair price.
 The Corbett people are somewhat disappointed at the situation, as they believed the local sentiment behind Britt would close the betting gap, but they have learned that large portion of the San Francisco money would be placed on the chances of the champion.

 Maharge had the advantage of weight and was aggressive in every round, but Lenny's clever foot work and blocking evened up matters. There was some fierce fighting on the ropes in which Maharge had slight advantage, but Lenny reached Billy's stomach and dead with several sting ing rights and lefts.
 In the fifth round the Philadelphian landed right on Lenny's jaw, but 1t did not have much steam behind it for a knockout and Eddie soon pulled him. self together and later retaliated with vicious uppercut on the mouth that made Maharge's head wabble.

THE GATTS OPENED.

On last Saturday, the 3Oth day Of
April, President Roosevelt touched the
button at Washington, and put i'm mo-
ton the machinery Of the ST. Louis
Exposition, the greatest exhibition Of
the kind known to the worlds history.
The Herald will have more to say
about it as the performance unfolds
Fifty Of our fellow citizens who were
hurrying from their homes to be there
at the opening hour, were killed in
a railroad wreck, so while the many
were rejoicing some homes are dark
ened and some hearts saddened by
reason Of the opening day OF the inn
posing exhibition. The wonder is
that Of the millions who travel so rap
idly, so recklessly, so. few meet with
just such fate.
The gates will remain open until
December lst, so you still have time
in which to make ready to 60 as guest
Of the Herald. Remember the condi-
tions, all Of which you can meet with
out much effort.

DEMOCRATS TO MEETNRICHMOYD

The State Committee Of the party
met in Richmond on Thursday Of last
week, and designated that city as the
place and the 9th Of June as the time
for the meeting Of the State Conven-
ton Of the party. Norfolk puts up a
spirited fight, "mint" thrown in for
the body, and the wonder is that the
Committee failed to bite especially at
the "crab" bait. But after all Rich
mond is the ideal place for the holding
Of such meetings. More central and
must now have the very best hotel
accommodations in the State if not
in the South.
The body will be a large one and
the session ought to be a love feast.
But not if Norfolk Democrats can
prevent" OF course the "Fusionistsn
and Regulars" were before the COM
mittee with dirty linen to wash as has
been their wont, and the result shows
plainly that the linen Of each needed
expert laundrymen to soap and scrub.
Isn't it high time that Democrats the
State over should be decent in the con-
duct Of party affairs ?

TNION OF FARMFRS.

This good work, which was begun
in the West, is spreading the county
over. 1t has already taken root ia the
South and our hope is that it will grow
until it overshadows the land. There
ought to be more of sympathetic touch
between farmer and farmer than any
other class Of fellow-citizens, and when
they do present a solid front they will
be inNinclble.

This may be all right, but isn't it in
striking contrast with the scenes of the
dav before. when bitterness marked
the proceedings and a want of chaIlly

contrast will be even more marked at
the close Of the presidential cauyass
upon which we are now fully entered.
