At Hartford.

IHarfOrd, Aug Z0.-ln one or the most peculiar games ever seen on the local diamond, New London defeated Hartford yesterday, to 3, McLaugh- lin winning his own game by bert1ng s6ut double in the ninth. The game fwould have gone an extra inning but ll llfor an interference by Bannon. The Hartford infield had a runner be- tween the bases and the man would have been out, but Ramon intertered and Hickey allowed the runner to proceed to second.
 1 Both sides were in a scrappy mood The game ended in a sensational man rher Ramon was up and two were out. Ramon gave the ball an awful 4rack and it went straight to Me Haughlin's glove. The report, could be heard out into the street s'he New London pitcher held fast to the Eball as it ended the game. But for 1.-the lucky catch it would have been ka nice hit.

Meriden, Aug 25.-In a fast game yesterday afternoon the home team won out from Norwich by the score of 2 to 1.

The visitors got eight hits off Thomas, including two doubles, but they were unable to bunch them The features, outside of Robinson's work in the box. were snappy double plays by Larkin.

 ROUGH HOUSE,
JeffrieS and nunroe Agree to Hit i'm Clinches and Protect Themselves i'm Breaking Away. ....

San Francisco, Aug 25.AAt a com ference between Jeffries and Mun- roes' representatives and Referee Graney, it has been decided to fight Queensberfy rules, with the added stipulation that they must protect themselves in the clinches and break aways. Of the recent battles for the heavyweight championships that have been held i'll San Francisco, this will be the first that has been conducted under those stipulations. Instead of being compelled to break clean and get set after each clinch, the two gi- ants will be allowed to pummel each other in clinches and breakaWays.

DOCTOR ADVISES JEFFRIEs.


 Dr Emil Laska, Viennese sur geon, who sailed for Europe yester- day believes that if Jeffries wins his fight with Munroe he will be in a measure responsible for his success.
 Dr Laska, who came to this coun- try to visit the Worlds fair, went as far as San Francisco in his travels, and while there last week visited Jef- fries at his training quarters. A To- cal practitioner introduced him to Jeffries,. who talked confidentially of his condition
 Jeff complained that he could not get his legs feeling right; that they remained slow and that, in fact, his only difficulty in training lay in his legs.
 Dr Laska listened attenHvely to the champions story, and then asked to be allowed to watch the rlb-down after exercise. Hardly had the rub Der begun work when Laska jumped to his feet and remarked:
 Tt is no wonder that your legs are bad. 1t is surprising that they are not worse. You are being rubbed all wrong. Those ignoramuses are rub ping your legs toward the feet in- stead of toward your body.
 "Your men are simply obstructing the normal action Of the blood instead of facilitating 1t. Every rub in the direction of the feet obstructs the exit of poison in the shape of worn out tissue.
 1T am surprised that you do not know that racing wheelmen who have good rubbers are always rubbed to- ard the heart That is the reason that a man may be lifted off his wheel and be rubbed back to vigor, so that a few minutes later he can re- peat his effort
 This sounded sensible to Jeff, who ordered his men to work toward his heart. He felt improved by the next day, and at present he is lighter and faster in his legs than he ever has been before.
 Whether rubbed rightly or wrongly Jeffries ought to whip Munroe to-mor- row night in 8 short battle of seven or eight rounds.
