OFF VLADIVOSTOK. Japanese Warship Spying at
 Czar's Port.
RUSSIAN CRUISER A TOTAL WRECK
Zemstvo Executive Visited by Police at MoscOw-Another Victory on Sakhalin IsIand-Five Guns
 Are Captured.

LONDON, July 17.-St. Petersburg dispatches say that Japanese warships have appeared to the northward of the city of Vladivostok and are apparent. ly meditating a descent.
 Four Japanese torpedo boat destroy CTS have also reconnoitered Olga and Vladimir bays, northeast of Nladivos. tok. They made soundings and ex' amined the shores and were evidently investigating the possibilities of land ing troops. They examined the wreck of the Russian cruiser Izumrud by means of divers.
 Admiral Yamada, commanding a squadron sent north on a reconnois. sance, reports to Tokyo that the Rus. sian cruiser Izumrud is a complete wreck and that there is no hope of re floating her. The vessel lies beached, heading west southwest, on the north. ern point of the southern entrance to Vladimir bay. about 200 miles north east of Vladivostok.
 During the battle of the Sea of Japan the Izumrud was cut off from the re- mainder of the fleet and steamed at full speed for Vladivostok. with Japa nese cruisers in pursuit. Subsequently she changed her course and made for Vladimir bay. The Izumrud ran on a reef at the entrance of the bay, and being short of coal, the captain ordered the crew ashore and blew up the vessel

WRESTLING.
PARKER IS
 BOOMING BELL
Will Match Him Against
 Frank Cotch - George
 Bothner is Getting Him. Self Into Shape.

Harvey Parker has practically matched Fred Beell, the Wisconsin wonder, to meet Frank Gotch. No date has as yet been set for the con- test. but it will in all likelihood take place next October somewhere in the west. Beell has not done any wrest- ling to speak about since his private match in New York with Tom Jenkins Under Parkers guidance Beell has been studying a lot of new tricks and when Beell goes against Gotch it is thought that he will do well. Parker has mapped out a long campaign for his pr0tege for the coming fall and winter. This is what Parker says of Beelfs plans.
 After we have cleaned up the bunch around New York we will make sever al excursions through the west. If successful, we will return immediately to New York and then visit England. Beell has an idea that he can beat Hackenschmidt. So have I, but have decided to wait until we have shown our hand in New York to a metropoli- tan crowd. I don't think that Hacken- schmidt will turn down d proposition from Beell, even at catch h-as-catch-can. He promised me this much when ne was here last, but he thought that Beell should make name first. Beell has already been we'll started in this di- rection and if nothing happens between now and next Christmas Beell and my self will go abroad. l have been on the other side, so I know the ropes pretty well. There is lot of money to be made abroad with d first class wrestler, and in Beell I think I have the goods. As for myself, l have re tired as far as America is concerned. You see l am getting old, and trainirg z and managing wrestlers is much easier than participating in the game your self. But there Is no telling what might do on the other side I peat Bulldog Clayton when I was in Eng land and he may want return malch His sponsors are good sports and backed him heavily when We met be- fore. If they consent 70 do the sam thing again there is no reason why yours truly should not throw off tne shackles of retirement and get uown to business again."

Hermis Won Jslip Handicap.

NEW YORK, July 1I.-Hermis won the Islip handicap, at one mile and a furlong. at Brighton Beach and in win ming earned for himself an ovation that is accorded to a race horse but few times in a season. That he is the most popular horse in training there seems little doubt, as a cheer went up when he won that has not been equaled this year-not when Delhi won the Brook lyn, not when Beldame earned the hon. ors in the Suburban handicap.

BASE BALL
LAST SERIES
 HAS BEGUN
Hills Take Another and the Cup is in Sight-Brook. lyns and North Ends Play Best Game - Pastimes Won.

The games on the Riverside grounds were uninteresting yesterday with the exception of the one between the Brooklyns and the North Ends. The other two were too one-sided to evoke any enthusiasm. The Washington Hills seem to now have clear field for the winning of the pennant and the chances look bright for that team to go through the three series without the loss of a game. The strong hitting of the Hills has done everything to- ward the winning of the games, while young Carmody has been the mainstay ip the box, holding all the other teams at his mercy so far this season. The Pastimes are the nearest rivals to the Hills, being two games behind, while the other teams are strung out and scarcely within fighting distance.
 PASTIMES' EASY PICKING.
 Byrnes started ill to pitch for the Merrimacs in the first game against the Pastimes yesterday, but he was hammered at will by the players from the west end. and Johnny Burgess was substituted later in the game. The Pastimes were not to be denied, how ever, and won out as they pleased.

The Waterbury Independents went to Torrington on Saturday and played the third game with the Coe Brass team of that place. It was game of hard hitting in which both pitchers received a severe drubbing. The um- pire came in for his troubles also and strangely it was the home team that did the most of the kicking. It took twelve innings for the Waterburys to win but in that inning they pounded in four runs while the Torringtons were unable to score in their half. The ecore-
