The Young Wife's Prophesy
BY Col. J. A. Watrous.

Paul was a brigadier general. VI inc
latter's service something has been
said.
A mixing OF orders rendered wal
double tragedy for the Kentuckian
An early order directed him TO sta
ton on the western frontier. Before
he could obey, an order came direct
ing him to report to his regiment,
still the 7th infantry, for duty. AT
the battle OF Fredericksburg, in Dc
cember, 1862, he was in command OF
the regiment, though only a youns
captain. In one of the charges Cap
tain Stivers was dangerously wound
ed.
The command of the frontier post
to which Captain Stivers had been
ordered, reported that he had not
put in an appearance. Upon receipt
of this information, unaccountable as
1t may seem, the name OF Captain
was dropped as an officer OF the
army, for absence without leave since
the summons OF 1861, When word
reached the 18th infantry to that
effect, there was surprise mingled
with Indignation. a message was
sent to Washington stating that a
mistake had been made and a
grieyous wrong done; that Captain
Stlvers had come to the 18th in 1861,
thai for time he had commanded
regiment; that he was at home
suffering from gun.shot wound.
without delay the name was rcstor-
ed to the roll OF the army, and III
1864 the captain was retired for DIS
ability acquired in the service. For
twontynine years he was principal
Of a school at Dayton, Ohio, declining
the Goth election a few years ago. He
was rs good a soldier in the educa-
tional army as he had been in the
u. S. army.

THE DIAMOND.
TWO SIDES
 OF SQUABBLE
How the Trouble Began Between Danaher and O'Rourke - The Latter Throws it Into Danaher.

New Haven, April S.-The breach between MT Danaher and the COnnectl' cut league came last fall just before the close of the season over the matter of Pitcher Tuckey playing an extra game with an independent team. He went to Manchester one Saturday af- ternOOn and played against Rockville. on which team Moriarty, 'blacklisted player of the Newark team, was pitch ing. Every one of the other teams of the league had allowed their pitchers to do the same thing, but as New Ha- ven and Bridgeport were about that time fighting for the pennant O'Rourke of the Bridgeports saw a chance to weaken his most formidable opponent by taking away one of the pitchers, and also one of the best pitchers i'll the league. On the Monday following the game Tuckey played at Manches- ter, he pitched here against Norwich. Not word of protest was filed by the Norwich players on that day, but on the following day they played at Bridgeport. O'Rourke then induced the Norwich manager to file protest of the New Haven game, which Tuckey had won. Notification was re ceived here by Mir Danaher of the pro- test and suspension of .Tuckey and he immediately secured the votes of four directors of the league raising the pro- test and reinstating Tuckey.
 On the following Friday the Bridge ports came here to play and O'Rourke again protested Tuckey, who was slated to pitch. Captain Cavanaugh showed him the votes of the directors raising the suspension, but ORourke as secretary of the league, refused to recognize the action. Later a special meeting of the league was called and the directors voted, 6 to ?, to indefinite. ly postpone action on the protest of ORourke. Then O'RoWke took the matter to the national board, of which he was member, and secured the sus pension of Tuckey by that board and the imposition of another fine of $2QO
 A meeting of the league was called in midwinter at 7:3O p. m, ,Mr Danahel says, but O'Rourke got to New Have1 and found some of the directors here early in the afternoon. He called then together at 2:3O p. m. Of course Dana her was not present, and by the ust of an alleged proxy held by O'Rourkt for Norwich, the vote was to ? 1T favor of throwing out the three games in which Tuckey had-pitched ant awarding the championship" Bridge port.

JAP NOT DISCHARGED.

Very few of the bone-breaking and deadly qualities of jul -jitsu. the Japan csc art of wrestling, were in evidence at the Grand Central Palace when Prof Higashi met George BOthner in a match on last Thursday night. The affair was best three out of five falls, and the American. by capturing three straight. was entitled to the victory.
 By losing Higashi cannot be said to be disgraced. If anything, his per formance was better than BOthner's, because he did all the work and dis played admirable pluck. and in the face of a big handicap in weight and the fact that he was showing before a thoroughly American crowd, he showed wonderful self-cOntrOl. It being the first exhibition of its kind in this coun- try. naturally the rules of the match were perplexing. Even the referee. Tim Hurst, made several mistakes, but in view of his ignorance of jiu-jitsu his errors were pardonable.
 BOthner acted mainly on the de fensive from the start. But BOthner afterward said that he was going against game of which he knew little and would not take the initiative. de- pending on some catch-as-catch-can ruse of which he was master for sue cess. fter the first fall the Jap be- came wary of Bothner's leg work. by which the American was enabled to gain all the falls to his credit.
 Jiu-jitsu experts depend for success upon a standing posture. But BOthner tn fnr he capsized at every opportunity. con- polling the Jap to apply his dangerous locks. especially the strangle, if he could. while on the mat. This was q difficult task. for by bringing his head close to his neck BOthner was able to obviate any chance of being chOked or put out of commission by a iiu-jitsu trick. Throughout the contest Higashi | failed to try any bone breaking holds. Once in a while Higashi resorted to some out and out catch-as-catch-can holds. such as leg and half Nelsons. but George broke them.
 The Jap was Bothner's master in strength and endurance. Although at times he labore,i hard. he never ap- pearel to he winded ar distressed. Constantly during the match he chewed gum. but at times showed chagrin
 when Bothner failed to get up and meet him face to face.
 1 Higashi sprang a sensational trick
 in the second essay by tossing Bothner clean over his head. He did this twice.
 They were falls all right. but not score, because BOthner was not down the
 necessary five seconds. as the rules of the match called for. In the last fall that the Jap obtained Bothner was
 iazel. and Higashi might have ended the strangle. But. thinking that the the strangeL- But. thinking that the fall went. he went to his chair and per mittef Bothner to recover.

WRESTLING.
MATCHES IN
 NAUGATUCK
Swanson Defeated Sand.
 strom Last Night-Hack-
 ensmidt and Jenkins Will Be Matched To-Day. >.

Over 200 people witnessed the wrestling match at the opera house last night. The main event between lver Sandstrom of Worcester, Mas
 and Alex Swanson of New York was one of the most gruelling exhibitions ever seen here. The men were to Wrestle at catchweights, the best two out of three falls, and to wrestle one hour. If at the end of that time neither had secured q fall, a ten-min- ute rest was to be given and then the men were to wrestle until F o'clock. Sandstrom weighed 151 pounds and Swanson about 145 pounds. Both were in fine condition. Sandstrom was on the defensive all during the match. At the start Swanson went at his opponent like bull, and from the very beginning and probably more so at the end the match was gruelling one. The men went on the mat at 10 o'clock and wrestled one hour and as neither had secured a fall the ten minute rest was taken. Fifteen min utes after the men started again Swanson secured fall. He was un- able to secure another, however, and although he administered an awful drubbing to Sandstrom the latter made him bring every hold in his re- pertoire into play. Swanson was de- clared the winner of the match. The first match was between Jack Bren- nan of Waterbury and Frank Stand bridge of Naugatuck. Brennan agreed to throw Standbridge three times in an hour. He could not throw the Naugatuck wrestler once and Stand bridge was declared the winner. Jack Roach of Waterbury officiated as ref. cree, Alex Wylie was timekeeper and William StapletOn announcer.

BOUTS IN PITTSFIELD.

Pittsfeld. April S.-In the feature bout before the Pittsfeld Athletic club last night in Academy of Music. Harry Duffy of West Springfield and Tom Mccarthy lBilly Ryam of Springfield. went ten fast rounds. When it was over Referee Cam Bushway gave no decision. but a draw would have been the only possi- ble one. Mccarthy challenged Duffy to meet him for sl0O side, and this match may be made later.
 Billy German of Albany and Billy Roche of Westfield took part in the best bout of the night. Both men were in superb condition. Roche be- ing especially fit. He hammered at the Albany man and worked both hands cleverly. William Cummings of Pittsfield and Jack Cullen of West Stockbridge met in a four-rOund bout and in the third session Cullen was put away William Montville of Adams defeated Jack Fee of Great Harrington in q wrestling match after seven minutes of work. William Me Donalh and Jack Burns furnished 2 four-round preliminary boxing bout which was interesting. Honors were even.

Manager Spain has been endeavoring to arrange another game with the Winsted T. A. B. team. The Middle town boys are confident that they can trim the Winsted five and are anxious for another try. Manager Sullivan of Winsted says that he will give the Middletown team $50 to come over there. Manager Spain, on the osher hand, has offered Winsted $75 to go to Middletown, but the offer has been turned down. The two managers are still consulting over the matter and it is possible they may come to an agree ment.

 Hackenschmirt declares he has never wrestled a match at catch-as-catch-can style, but is willing to take on Jen- kins because Big Tom gave him d match in London at the Graeco- Roman style.

contract so that it would be clearly understood. Britt will have no chance to hang on or rough his man in the clinches if the agreement is carried out, and the Englishman will not have to worry about that kind of work during the fight.
 Another part of the agreement, however may result in some trouble for him. The men are to protect themselves In the breaks. and this may prove a bit new to the Britisher, as most of the fights across the pond are conducted under the clean break rules. The date set for the encounter is April 9.

GIANTS AND YALE.

To-day the baseball team of Yale university will play the champion Giants at the Polo grounds. Four years ago this bunch of collegians won from New York with MathewsOn in the box. This defeat had a ten dency to discourage "Matty," who had not earned his spurs as q slab artist at that time. but the management en- couraged the then young pitcher and he stuck to his knitting and won ten successive games subsequently in the National league championship race.
 Mathewson has not forgotten the defeat administered by the sons of Old Eli. and has asked Manager Me Graw to allow him to twirl to-day in the first professional game of base ball played in New York in 1905. Me Graw will allow Mathewson to pitch, while McGinnity. the famous .'Iron Man. twirler. and George Wiltse, the southpaw wizard. may also be used to deceive the college sluggers.
