THE DIAMOND.
TWO RIVALS
 CLASH AGAIN
'nolyoke Makes Springfield Bite the Dust--New Lon- don Has Revenge on Bridgeport--Other Games.

Springfield, Aug 20.-Thursday the Ponies made heart disease finish aud beat Hartford, while yesterday they came so near beating Holyoke in the ninth that the Holyoke players and their followers were certainly wor- ried. However, slip was as good as a mile for Holyoke and the rivals from up the river walked off with Il 2 to 1 victory. The scoring was done as follows:
 Tn the first inning, with two out, Batch drove a two-bagger over Hale's head In right, and Slater scored nm with another into the same territory. In the last of this inning, Altizer peat out bunt and stole second, but was doubled when Tansey flew out to Fitzpatrick.
 Tn the fourth. Holyoke got another run. With one out, McAndrews sin gled and stole second. O'Connor threw high to catch him and the ball got by Altizer Mac going to third. SchincGls B long fiy into center E~ ~ed McAn> drews. That was the extent of Hol- yoke's run getting.
 In the ninth inning Altizer was first up and whacked out a two-sacker into left. Tansey followed with q nice single scoring Al, and went to second himself Then 1t was that Jim Flana gan should have bunted and advanced Tansey to third. Dan O'Neil shouted drom the bench for Jim to lay the bull down, and even sent Hale out with di- rectiOns, but Flanagan either misun deTstood or else declined to do things his own way, for he hit hard at the ball and a foul fly resulted. O'Connor could do no better and was retired in the same manner, while Heffner his q hard one to McAndrews, which the shortstop captured and threw Crook, wbo had been passed, out at second. The score:

THE PUGILISTS. TO GIVE
 AND TAKE
That is McCoy's Advice and Training for hunroe An Interesting Decision Other News.

Jeffries is training for a short, cy- clonic fight with Munroe. He will go into the ring weighing too much, and therefore not in condition to go q distance with such human boulder as the miner, whom Mccoy is instruct ing to hit like a catapult Tn let ter Mccoy says:
 "The man who will whip Jeffries must be a powerful puneher. Only blows of the very greatest force will affect him, but 1t is idle to say that the blow cannot be delivered that will stop Jeffries.
 Il we'll remember when Fitz first fought Jeff, and the big fellow had more vitality than he has to-day. Bob hooked him to the jaw and then land ed on his wind, and Jeff shook all over. His legs sagged under him, and Billy Brady begged him to clincn and hang on. He fell on Fftz and clunp to him until his ponderous weight wearied Bob and his own strength came back to him.
 Had Fitz been able to break away at that time and land another clean punch on the jaw, the fight would have been his.
 T saw enough then to satisfy me that Jeffries can be knocked out quite like any other man. No man has met him since then with the ability to de liver blows such as Fitz handed out at Coney Island, for Bob in his second meeting was but a shadow of himselr in destructive slugging.
 II am teaching Jack to hit with ev- cry ounce of weight in his body, and to hit necessarily I want him to fight Jeffries Just as McGovern used to fight: to go in with his head down and both arms flashing out without a stop.
 'Jeffries is roughing 1t with his sand baby, expecting that Munroe will do great deal of clinching This is where Jeff is wrong. What I am teaching Munroe is to break away when Jeff holds him.
 T expect that the champion will en- deavor to lay on Jack and tire him out. He'll find Jack slippery custom CT to tack on to.
 1T think also that have developed q means of breaking up the crouch and making Jeff stand up. Attack al- ways catches up with defense, and if anybody can learn how to break down that stiff front of the champion 1t will be Miner Munroe."

The other afternoon caller in
Harlem apartment house was sur
prised to hear the doorbell ring long
and internationally, says the New
York Press. She was equally sur
prised when her hostess, instead of
complaining about the noise, went to
the door-opener and pushed the button
for couple Of minutes. Then the
ringing began again, with second re-
Spouse from the button, and the hos
tess quietly sat down to chat with her
friend.
1T was only Harry she explained
He wanted to know what | wanted
brought in for dinner, and l said a
steak. He said he would rather have
chops, and l said go ahead and get
them"
Then the visitor remembered that
Harry had married his wife when she
was an operator in the same telegraph
office in which he was employed, and
understood that the intermittent ring
ing was really Morse code, employed
to save the husband climb of four
flights of stairs.
