Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-05-23

In the, Greater Waterbury baseball league yesterday the St Thomas Ga dets defeated the Ben Nohrs by the score of 13 to 8.
 New York has always had the repu- tation of being cool-headed and cosmo- politian, but it seems like carrying that spirit too far when rooters, most of whom come in on passes, delight in a victory for the visiting team. After a game Fielder Jones mentioned this fact and compared New York to Chicago. "Other cities" he said, stand by the home team
 Manager O'Roulske of the Bridge ports has formally suspended Pitcher Red Waller, and now no team in the National association, or in the two major leagues, can legally play any team in which Waller is engaged. The indepedents are already finding the rule pressing on them. Limited to their own attractions they would soon be out of business:
 This is my last season i'll any league" said Rube Vickers in Worces- ter Wednesday, "and this isn't any advertising farewell either. I've pitched my arm off for some of the most unaccommodating newspaper men I ever heard of. They're always light ing their pipes when you do. something good and paying all attention to busi- ness when you go bad. But that isn't what influences me. intend to retire at the end of the season." Manager Fitzpatrick was an interested listener 'What are you going to do, Rube?' asked Fitz. 'Well my father owns up ward of 300 acres i'll Michigan in Hills dale county in the town of PittS(iala and guess the horse is strong enough to haul Rube Vickers around the place.

 The race for the National Stallion stakes resulted in grand finish, the first four horses finishing heads apart. with H. B. Duryea's fast lilly Tanya in the front. After the start the field raced along close together, with Song and Wine leading and Belle Strome and Tanya as close contenders.
 This order was the same until fur long from the finish, when Shaw sent the favorite to the front, and she held it to the end, winning in drive by a head from Belle Strome, who was sec ond all the way. Tn the last few strides Blandy and Britisher closed very strong, and the former was third by a head. Summary:
 First Race--Champlain first, Palm bearer second, Judge Denton third.

JIMMY BRITTs DEBUT.

Jimmy Britt made his debut as an actor at Watson's Cosey Corner, in Brooklyn, Saturday night. Also, he made an emphatic hit. It was a knockout for him from the start.
 The little fellow began with a mono logue. That went we'll, and when they called for more he told four or five stories about his experiences in the ring. He seemed to expect that would finish them. especially as he hadn't any more tricks in the hat. But when they kept on shouting for still more he came out again and ilnpro- vised some catchy little stuff that went best of all. He might have been at it yet, only he had train to catch. He and his brother left for Boston and he will open at the Howard Athen- aeum for a two weeks engagement.
 Before he got away Jimmy said he liked the stage quite as well, if not better, than the ring.
 But if they had booted me- he added, "you couldn't get me back be- fore the lights with team of horses" i"

LEAGUE.
GOOD GAMES PLAYED
 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

There were three good games played ln the City Amateur league yesterday afternoon before nearly 2,1OO people on the Riverside grounds. Each game was hotly contested and was won and lost by a close score. William T. heavney umpired the two games played on the regular diamond and his decisions were received without com ment.
 The first game was played between the Washington Hills and the Merri- macs, and it was one of the 5warmest games seen on the diamond in some seasons. There were two Phelans doing the pitching for the teams and both did excellent work. The Hills, after securing a big lead, fell down in the last part of the game and the out eastern section of ball players cap- tured the game by pounding out four runs in the last inning The score: AIerrfnacs - 1 0 O 6 10 | 4-13 w. H. A. c. .. o 1 O z o O i O-11
 The second game saw the BrookIyns and the Pastimes at war with each other and this game also created much interest. The spectators were Kept on their feet all through the contest and the Brooklyns won out by superior bat ting. Legge of the Brooklyns had nome run, two tWO-SdckerS ana Slngle. The final score was II to 10.
 The third game played at S:3O on e-e upper diamond brought the North Ends and the St Josephs' together Tom Burns, who pitched for the Saints, had twirled two games before that one on Saturday. He was in good form, but so was Wallace of the North Ends. Both Cavanaugh for the St Josephs and Tommy Lawlor for the North Ends did good back stop work. The anal score was 6 to '

THE PUCILlSTS. n'COY
 HAS SIGNED
Jumps at the Chance to Face Fitzsim1mons.-Latter Has Not Yet Affixed His Signature.

Efforts to bring about q 2o-round match between Kid Mccoy and Bob Fitzsimmons have begun in real ear nest and the chances of the pair com ing together this summer appear to be bright. Yesterday dispatch was re ceived from Morris Levy, matchmaker of the Hayes Valley A. c. of San Francisco, offering a purse for 20- round mill between the Kid and Lanky Bob, the same to take place on July 4. Without much ado Mccoy ac- cepted. Mccoy wants the club to let him know further details and if every thing is rosy he will sign articles at once. AS Mccoy is going to help Jack Munroe get ih trim for Jeffries he thinks that a match on the Pacific coast would be just the proper caper, as he has made arrangements to re- main in California until the fall. Dur ing the past three months there has been lot of talk regarding a bout between Mccoy and Fitz, but nothing has come of 1t. They were reported as being matched to meet at Philadel- phia for six rounds, but the go never materialized. Should Bob accept, which is likely, as he has no particu- lar engagements in view, he may de- nland liberal guarantee, which Levy is prepared to give The only barrier to the encounter which the sports fear is, the weight question Fitz may ask Mccoy to get to 158 pounds, the same as the latter did for his recent six round essay with Jack O'Brien at Philadelphia. Mccoy made the weight all right, but was bit weak as a con- sequence. But Mccoy snid yesterday that he had no trouble in reducing and that with further training he would be able to do the scale and remain strong.

CoNsoLIDATED TEAM WON.

The Consolidated team went to Nor wich last Saturday and made that bunch of players over there look like a lot of ham-fatters. Manager Brennan had been informed several times by the Norwich management to bring over a good team, as the Norwich players wanted to make a good record by de- feating a fast team from Waterbury Manager Brennan delegated Assistant Manager Thompson to take the team over and he did, and when the Consoli- dated boys had finished hammering the curves of the Norwich pitcher he looked like a plugged cent. The final score was 15 to and twenty hits were scored by the Consolidated batters.

SUIT FOR SOUTHERN PACIFIC TAXES.

Louisville June 6.-Revenue Agent Augustus
Blot to-day renewed by filing another suit, the
proceedings instituted by William Weller, jr-. dur
ing his term as agent, against the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company for back taxes on
property worth 100000 The suit instituted by
Mr.. Weller resulted in compromise, the company
agreeing to pay taxes 10 the extent Of $4,000
Weller prayed the recovery Of only $lVo"o. whie
Mr. Blot asks for S3.050OoO. This difference arises
out of the difference of conception Of the defend
ants liability. Mr.. Blot contends that the South
ern Pacific is a holding company. and that as its
holding is in Kentucky. it must pay taxes here on
its holdings everywhere. including steamboat,
steamship and railway lines the world at
large
As To the compromise effected by Weller Mr.
Blot says:
The Court of Appeals decided in the case OF the
CITY against the Louisville Railway Company that
q compromise Of a suit operates only as d
credit and that no taxes can be compromised SO
as to settle the claim except partially to the eN-
tent that the amount paid Offsets the amount due
