WRESTLING.
HACK WILL
 FARE WELL
Will Leave this Country Soon to Fill some Good
 Engagements - Gresham
 Accepts Turks Challenge

! New Workers are still discussing the victory of George Hackenschmidt over Tom Jenkins ill Madison Square Gar den the other night, and agree that 1t was one of the best contests of its kind decided in this city in many a day. Hackenschmidt displayed speed that no one had credited him with. It was thought that man of his bulk and muscle could not be speedy. His quickness and dash were revalation. Hackenschmidt show ed that even if catch-as-catch-can style is not his forte he at least knows thing or two about these wrestling rules. Jenkins piled the foreigner with all sorts of holds. He laid all kinds of traps for him, but the Lion avoided them time and again, and with surprising ease. It was hacken- schmidt's strength that called forth ad- miration. He tossed and whirled Jen kins around the mat like football.
 Not many wrestlers would attempt to secure back hammer lock in mid air as Hackenschmidt did and that the Russian failed to connect was not his fault; it was because Jenkins body was slippery from perspiration.
 Hackenschmidt indulged in little catch-as-catch-can wrestling. That is, the holds with which he defeated his man come under Graeco-Roman rules. He tried few leg locks. crotch and trip. But when he saw that he could not obtain these grasps he was satisfied to confine himself to half and double Nelsons. Successful execution of these locks require great strength.
 It is a pity that Hackenschmidt is compelled to return at such an early date to England. He is booked to de- part On May 20. and does not expect to return here for some time. His rn- agreements abroad it is said, will cover period of two years at salary of over $1,O0O week. Hackenschmiits appearance in this country has given wrestling the stimulus the spolN need ed. Taking and hippodromes brought the pastime into disrepute and 1t is re- covering the position it held in New York twenty years ago.
 Hackenschmidt has signed to meet Maupas at Toronto, John Baptiste at St Louis and two men in Chicago. He expects to return to New York about week before he sails.
 Harvey Parker informs The Sun that he will be in New York this week in company with the new wrestling wOn- der, Fred Beel of Wisconsin, ready to arrange match with any catch-as- catch-can man, bar Gotch. Parker is very enthusiastic regarding his mans chances and says that he will deposit $1,00O upon his arrival to show that he is strictly in earnest.

Murphy, the loose looking third base

Murphy, the loose looking third base man of the North Ends, covers lot of ground and has a great throwing wing.
 Johnny Kelly may be "has been," but he did not show any signs of it yesterday, as he pitched in his old time form.
 .waltaneus, that usual reliable pitcher, was q mark for the Pastime hitters, and maybe they didn't "iam' the ball. Arf
 There's none of 'em got anything on Tommy Lawlor either at batting or fielding and on the bases he's the peer of them all.
 Umpire Cunningham gives his decis- ions without fear or favor They can't fool Jackie" for he knows the game from A to z. ~
 The Brooklyn rooters tried hard to rattle DOnahue, the Pastime pitcher, but the boy kept cool and refused to go up in his airshlp.
 TIernan of the Brooklyns mlsjudged several flies in left field which went as hits, but the crowd there interferes with the player greatly.
 When Fritz" made his fourth hit in the game, Waltaneus simply stood laughing good naturedly watching him cavort around the bases.
 Manager Clark of the Brooklyns leads the league with batting aver age of 1000. His record: Atbat once, hits one. Good boy. Percy.
 Fritz Henebry's record of three home runs and a three-bagger will doubtless stand for a while. That's certainly hitting the ball some.
 Hickey and Carter make a splendid battery and play nice game. but the battery can't do all the work. and that's what these boys are doing.
 Edmonds as usual. played q star game at short for the Saints and made one of the prettiest and most difficult catches seen on the grounds In long time.
 With one or two exceptions all the players are on their good behavior. and this is as it should be for nothing dis gusts crowd more than continued wrangiing.
 "Brick- McNellis put up an awful kick when Cunningham called Sheehan safe at second. and used some choice words which are not to he found in webster's.

THE DIAMOND.
THIRD WEEK
 CONN. LEAGUE
Springfield Still Leads With Bridgeport . Close Second-Results of Satur. day and Sunday Games.

The third week of the war between the clubs in the Connecticut League of Baseball clubs shows Springfield and Bridgeport leading the procession, with New, London good third and Hart ford creditable fourth. Meriden and Holyoke are tied for the honor of lead ing the second division, Norwich has a good hold on seventh place and New Haven still sticks at the bottom.
 ! Cornelius J. Danaher is now credit ed with being a smart man for saying he was tired of being connected with baseball in. New Haven. lac work of the team has been though to drive any manager to distraction. Danny Dana. her is the present manager and Ec IS a brother of c. J. No one dares to say he owns the team although 1t is gen orally supposed that MT Danaher re- tains possession. Manager Danny has released Brother Jonathan" Trumbull, the pitcher, and Anderson, the second baseman. Danny is critized for let ting Trumbull go and keeping Clarence Quinn, who has been pounded to the four corners every time he entered the box. Trllmbull is believed to have good stuff in him. No pitcher would appear to good advantage with such 8 team behind him.
 Bridgeport is playing better game than was expected of the aggregation and 1t would seem that Manager O'Rourke has made good selections. Springfield will not keep up the great squirt, because its pitching is not strong enough. Luby is the only first-class pitcher on the team and he was to be in prime condition to win. Unless Manager O'Neil gets some new pitchers he won't be in the first division next month. The team has been very lucky to get away with the games 1t did, with the present bunch of pitchers. The men are certainly playing we'll to- gether and there must be harmony m chuncks in the aggregation.
 New London and Norwich are pret ty well matched and 1t is hard to say which will get the series from the other. Both teams are slated for the second division. It Is too early to make a prediction about how the team will finish and all that can be said at this time is that the Hartford management would not exchange any of its men for the pick of the league.

BASE BALL
RACE IS ON
 IN EARNEST.
Pastimes and Washington Hills are Tied for First Place - Merrimacs and North Ends in Rear.

The first game at the Riverside grounds yesterday afternoon was q well fought battle between two pitch >ers in which the hits were equally di- vided. The crowd of 4,000 or 5000 had plenty of opportunity to watch some excellent playing, and the Washington Hills and North Ends certainly played fast base ball. Carmody for the Hills and Hickey for the North Ends were on the slab for the twirling and each put up star game. Both little fellows did good work and the Hills won out because their hits were better placed. The score:
