 TRIMMED
Bridgeporters Defeated by HOlyOke- Springfield Put it All Over New Haven Other Games.

Holyoke, Aug 16.-Holyoke scored in six of the eight tries. In one Of the innings four runs were pulled out of the base ball hash Allen was un- able to work batsmen. He tried every thing but cries for help. A dozen of the plumpest swats tucked into the champs basket in many days were collected. Only two of the lot were kept away from the run-making moves.
 Pop Slater behaved like a bruising youngster. He slashed into the sphere four times in five chances, twice send ing out doubles. Slater made his four swats consecutively, getting one in each appearance at bat after the first inning. Heine Batch pounded out two singles and pennant pole three-sack- CT. Fitzpatrick did his part toward making memorable the Bridgeport re- ception by singling twice.
 Holyoke began its run hunt without much brushing up. After Dowd's fly had been caught by O'Dell, Fitzpatrick rapped to Reyes and had the throw beaten, but it was poor one' and Fitz got an extra base. Batch's left field drive sent in Fitz. Slater and McAndrews pumped long flies out to Foster
 
 and Arthur made the champs second turn bright Schincel raised to Ladd. Rossman sent one into center field with a rush. On Arthur's grounder to O'Dell, Rossman was safe at second when Downey dropped the throw. Ar thur and Rossman moved up a base each on q two-handed steal. Rossman was thrown out at the plate on Hodges hit to Yale. Dowd singled into left field, scoring Arthur. Foster felded the ball to Reyes and with O'Dell's aid, Hodges was caught be tween bases
 Batchs three base hit to deep cen ter and Slater's double produced one in the third. In, the fifth Batch's sin gle, Skaters double and McAndrews's out were welded into one run. An other came in the sixth on poor throw to first by Allen on ATthur's bunt, Hodges's sacrifice and Fitzpat- rick's single.
 Allen collapsed in the seventh. Sla- ter singled. AIcAndrews was hita Schincel sacrificed, and in trying to field his bunt to third the pitcher tossed into foul ground and Slater scored. On Rossman's fly out to Clark the Bridgeport outfielder made poor return throw and McAndrews came in. Bases on balls to Arthur and Hodges were followed, by Dowd's bounder to, Q'Dell. A toss to Downey put out Hodges at second, but Downey's throw to first went wide and two runs came In. Dowd got to second and stole third. Fitz's foul flied to O'Rourke.

AALHOu6us only IL years of age, Miss Sutton is a remark able player. She has all the charac- teristics of man in her play, and hits the ball even better than did Miss Pound, former western champion, noted for her strong strokes, but in- stead of throwing the force and weight of her whole body into the stroke. as Miss Pound did, Miss Sutton uses only the swing of her arm to give the ball momentum In this way she never loses control of her foot-work and is always to be found wherever the ball is. Her ability to follow the ball around and get set in the right place to return it, is the best feature to her playing. critics declare. She is always ready to meet the ball and she, gen. orally gets in position with very little effort. Her drives are strong and de- ciledly accurate, and 1t is seldom that she makes a double" At the net she has developed 8 phenomenal smash. which she uses with manlike strength. All of her strokes are as strong as most men players. In comparison with her rivals, she far outshines them in the strength of her strokes. She is much stronger physically. Though decidedly fast on her feet and a quick thinker, Miss Sutton is a calm. cool, deliberate and steady player throughout. Miss Sutton does not wear spiked shoes, as is customary among all the other players in the west. Instead, she plays in common, everyday, rubber-soled tennis slip pers. She says she has always been used to them and that she likes them far better than the spiked shoes Ten- his is Miss Suttons favorite sport. She is, however, an excellent golf player, proficient in basketball and a good swimmer. She is, in fact, one of the best all-around woman athletes in the country. This is her sixth year at tennis. She began playng when she was Il years old Her improvement was so rapid in this one season, how ever, that she induced her parents to permit her to enter tournament com petition the following year. She won match after match and finally the championship of the Pacific coast. Since then her game has become bet ter year after year. She is to-day without peer in the country among the women players.

At Spl,ingield.

Springfield, Aug 16.-The game yes terday was between Springfield and New Haven, and in spite of Dwyer, whose decisions cost the Ponies not less than five runs, the home team won out by the score of 6 to ,.
 Tn many ways the game was full of interest, but the errors were on such easy chances that they rather dimmed the luster of the brilliant plays. It was bad day for Joe Connor and his three errors, two of them ill the first inning, proved extremely helpful to the Savin Rock bunch. Tn the second inning Joe came to the bat and mind- fuI of the cry to make up for his mis- plays, drove the ball against right field fence for a double and scored two runs. Tn fact, in the stick department Joe was there with the goods and made three safeties in three times up. getting his. base on two other occa- sions by passes. He scored two of the six runs and thus his afternoons work was profitable, in spite of his poor showing in the first inning. The score:

THE PUGILISTS.
SLASHING
 SIX ROUNDS
Kid Farmer of Chicago and Jack O'Neill of philadeI- phia Go a Fast Battle Cans and Gardner.

Philadelphia, Aug 16.-Kid Far mer of Chicago and Jack O'Neil of this city fought a slashing six-round bout at the National A. c. last night with honors slightly in favor of Far mer.
 It was contest devoid of science, and a mere exhibition of endurance. Both men fought from the beginning of the opening round to the end, and there was never a dull minute.
 At times the men fell into each oth- CTS arms from sheer weakness. As soon as they recovered they were at it again hammer and tongs. Both men were badly cut up at the finish.
 Early in the fourth round Farmer had his head cut, and for the remain der of the fight blood almost blinded him. Despite this handicap he fought gamely and stopped every rush of O'Neil. O'NeiPs nose was cut, and he, too, bled freely.
 The bout opened with a rush al most carving both men off their feet. Following an exchange Farmer shot q hard right to the jaw. During the remainder of the round it was give and take, with Farmer holding a slight advantage at the end.
 Farmer started the Second we'll and
 dropped O'Neil with a right to the face, drawing first blood. Before the end of the round O'Neil gained back his lead and had Farmer in bad shape with a right hook to the jaw.
 The men fought themselves to a standstill in the third, and both took much punishment. Farmer held an advantage in the fourth until his face was cut. Then O'Neil took the lead
 Farmer kept after O'Neil and with fusilade of blows drove him to the ropes. At the end of the round the advantage was clearly with Farmer O'Neil fought back hard in the last, but though he did good work he could not T,11n m tbo fight

VICTOR EMANUEL PICNIC.
Great Time and Big Crowds at the
 Driving Park.

A large crowd was present at the celebration of the Victor Emanuel II society at the Driving park yesterday afternoon and last night. The after noon program was characterized by horse races and by concerts by the Bersaglieri band of New York, while in the evening there was more music and brilliant display of fireworks. The fireworks were among the best which have been seen in Waterbury in some years. They included some excellent pieces.
 The chief attraction in the after noon was the horse racing. Four horses were entered in the 2:25 tToC and pace. Funny John and Lottie M. outclassed easily the other two horses and fought it out for first place each time. Funny John won the first two heats. Before the third heat the driver of Lottie M. was given a little call. The result was that Lottie M. won the third heat, but Funny John captured the fourth heat and first prize. The race was spirited and the time fine

Noonan had a diff1-' cult time in getting the horses off properly. At length after threaten ing to lay on a few fines the horses left the post in good order. Alden possessed lots of speed and was well driven. He is fast stopper, but many persons at the track were or the opinion that with another driver holding the reins c. Shorts John On line would have won. This horse was poorly handled. All three heats were closely contested. The results of the heats were as follows:
