University Of Washington Team Walk
Off the Ball Field.

The second game between Whitman
college and the university of Wash
ington on Saturday went to Whitman
on default as the Washington coach
took his team off the field in the eighth
inning because he was dissatisfied with
the decision of Umpire Allen. The
game was the finest exhibition of col
lege baseball ever seen in Walla Walla.
For four innings neither side made an
error or tally. When the game broke
Up in the eighth inning the score was
three to two in favor of Whitman.
The trouble arose because Washington
claimed that the coacher on third ran
IN ahead of the man and that the

1t is probable the two teams will
meet again in a third game next Mon
day afternoon as Washington is on her
way home after playing Lewiston.

Saturday night but it cannot be def
nitely decided until the Washington

faculty to remain away from home a
day longer. If played the game will
take place at $50 a week from today.

Referee Punches a Fighter and Wins "A Second Joe Grim Has Been Discover. ed-IntereStine Notes.

Portland, May 5.--Having agreed that if both men were on their feet at the expiration of the allotted time the hout should be called a draw, Char lie Haghey of Lowell and George Bey- CTS of Boston fought pink tea exhi- bition here last night. At the outset 1t looked like fast battle. and it was certainly pretty exhibition of foot work and ring genernlship, but after a few smashes swapped by the men the contest developed into fiddling match, ia which Haghey had slightly tho better of the fiddltng. Cyclone Robinson of Providence and Tornado Bill Cunning of Portland fought their second six-round burlesque. Upon Referee Sheehan giving the decision to Cunning, the colored man created little excitement by saying rude things to the referee, MT Sheenan. MT Sheehan promptly poked the fighter on the nose. and what proved the best fight of the night came off. The ref cree won.

CHANGE FOR PETER.

The knockout blow which Peter Maher administered to Jim Jeffords at Philadelphia the other night has con vinced the admirers of the Irishman that he has recovered his former punch and strength. A club in Phila- delphia is trying to bring about a six round bout between Maher and Mar win Hart, to be decided within the next month. Maher has accepted. and all that remains to make the fight n fixture is Harts consent. The Louis vile man will probably agree to fight If the club makes it worth while. Bob Clarke, the Brooklyn sporting man. who is looking after the interests of Jim Calvin, the Irish light heavy- weight, is anxious to match his man with Maher. Clarke says he will agree to any kind of a match with Maher for any number of rounds. and let Peter name the cutting Of the money.

ANOTHER JOE GRIM.

Baltimore, Md. May 5.--Kid Grifro of Brooklyn was awarded the decision over Billy Kolb of Philadelphia last night at the end of flfteen-round bout before the Eutaw A. c. The match was decidedly one-sigled affair, and throughout the entire fifteen rounds the Philadelphia boy scarcely led n half dozen times. Griffo forced the lighting continually. The bout showed that Kolb, who is an Italian, Is am other Joe Grim. The beating that he took in the first six rounds would have put the ordinary man in hospi- tai. Kolb simply grinned while talk ing his lacing. The Philadelphia mans seconds were advised to throw up the sponge, but they refused. saying that Kolb could stand the gaff easily. At the end he looked as if he could 70 ten more without much trouble. The Philadelphia boy was badly beaten and his face practically jabbed to a pulp. GrifYo was unable to floor his opponent single time, although he hit him when and where he pleased.

GOOD OLD MAN.

Tt should always be borne in mind,' '' said an expert yesterday, ''that F'itz is not clever boxer. Corbett outboxed him at Carson City, but got licked. Gardner actually outboxed him In San Francisco, but was so hurt by his SUI perior punching power that he let up in the latter stages of that fight. and lost the decision. The reason that bet ter boxers can't lick Fitz is that they can't walIop with him. He will thrash Hart, if they ever fight, because he can olltpunch him. He would slaughter Root, because he could reach him with hard punches. And don't forget that Fitz can take licking. There is moth. ing that can beat him at present, ex- cept Jeffries. He has too strong wal lop for them all. except the champion. No dope in the world may beat the old man yet awhile"

At Hartford.

Hartford, May Yesterdays game was an improvement over the one of the previous day in that it was short CT, but it was not as we'll played as Tuesdays game and at no time was it in doubt It was known from the start that Hartford would be beaten and this gave the faTls time to pre- pare themselves for the ordeal, and when the game was over everybody was apparently contented. There was only one doubt in the minds of the ex- ports, and that was what had hap pened to the team since it defeated the strong Jersey City club. Tn the exhibition games the team helded fine- ly and ran the bases well, but did not hit to any extent. Manager Kennedy thought the hitting would come with the warm weather.
 Foxen. the hero of the Jersey City game, was on the rubber yesterday and ha was hit hard from the sound of the gong. -Four singles were torn off at the start. The flfteenth hit was made in the ninth inning. The big twirler worked under adverse circum- stances. as his support was poor and there was no hitting behind him. The New Haven team is picked up nine that has no license to get away with any first class seam and its infleld played raggedly in the second and third innings, when Hartford scored. The good pitching of Corcoran kept the Hart6ords from scoring us they were unable to hit him to any extent. The six Hartford hits were scattered over five innings and this shows the feehleness of their rapid fire work. The score:

The present Hartford team has proved great disappointment and the owner of the aggregation gave 1t as his opinion yesterday that the bunch was a little worse than the athletes that were paid to represent Hartford on the diamond last season.
