Springfield, May 5.-The provldent young men who are putting Springfield into base ball aristocracy laid up an- other rainy day nest egg yesterday, the sixth in this brief season. Score, Springfield 5, Norwich g.
 Again the Ponies showed the kind of batting strength which brings great happenings with it. Eight of the nine hits were divided, two per man, among four of the likely champs. Red Nagel devoted half of his four turns at bat to long-distance pumping. His three- sacker at the beginning of the local section of the fifth sent the leather to the fence in right center. In the next inning he came up with a two-base drive in the same vicinity. Dillon, with a double and single, and Fitzpatrick and Altizer, with two solitary sackers each, completed the heavyweight de partment of the local swat list. Bill Luby himself, with a single in the fifth, which sent in Nagel with run which broke a to tie, was the other Pony batter who accomplished some thing yesterday.
 Six of the seven hits gained off Bill Luby were jumbled in the fourth and sixth innings, three coming in each turn. Otherwise Luby was an accepta- ble upholder of the new Pony doctrine of keeping the other fellows jogging be- hind. The score:

 qualities in this direction. When it
 looked as if the Ralston bill was going to pass the legislature Britt did lot of
 thinking. He approached his father and in curt way said: Pop, I think have . good scheme whereby can make the
 gentlemen who make our laws at Sac ramento think differently about stop ping boxing in California. am going to see them personally and have heart to heart talk with them. Maybe they will change their minds and shelve the bill altogether. There is no harm in try. ing, and am going to take . chance" Britt, senior, could not see the matter in the same light and urged his son against such mission. He said that Jimmy would only have failure for his pains and that he would be the laughing stock of the whole assembly. But the pugilist was obdurate and went on his way. He visited the assembly and made 1t his business to get an introduction to each member of the legislature. They no doubt expected to see a broken nosed, low browed tough. with . caulifiower eaf and other unsightly appendages. h. stead they saw . good looking. well dressed youth. glib of speech. possessing the self-confidence of a millionaire. Britt made an instant impression and at once entered into . strong plea for the game of gloves The lawmakers liked Britt's way. and his visit was such sue cess that the bill was killed. Britt is hero in the eyes of his brother profes- sionals. and they predict greater things for him than the championship. Britt thinks that he may become lavmaker some day himself and that if he does he will try to keep up high standard of boxing in California

CANAvAN HOME.

New Haven, May 5.-James E. Cana van. who was last year captain of the New Haven baseball team, returned Wednesday evening from New York, where he has been for two weeks after arriving from the west. During the past season he has been captain and manager of the Fort Wayne, Ind, polo team.
 George Bone, an old basebell player here, came home with Capt Canavan. He played polo with him. Canavan said he has considered no offer for playing ball this season.
