It has often been said of Dr. Richard Garnett of the British Museum that there is no question of research one can put to him that he cannot answer. ia'This faet,' writes Harry Furniss, twas demonstrated to me by friend of mine, who had spent years investi- gating an obscure subject, of which but very few people have any knowledge at all. He searched for months in conti- mental libraries for some information on one particular point, without effect. Coming to London, he asked Dr. Gar nett if he could put him on the track. We have only one book in the muse- urn,' replied the doctor, touching upon that. I will send for it. You will find all you want on page ESQ.,"

WANTED A LOBSTER.

Young Corbett got letter the other day from Butte, from faro dealer, wanting him to take the first train out there and win out bank roll that the dealer was prepared to toss of to Jim. The writer explained to Young Cor bett that his winning out the roll would not create any suspicion, as he was known to be a high roller against the bank, and that was why he wanted him to come such long distance to make the play. When asked if he in- tended going after the fortune the Montana dealer signided a willingness to toss of to him, the little ex-feather- weight champion smiled one of those Carl Young smiles and said that he guessed not. If this Butte faro deal CT will come on here and bring with him the same amount of money that he wanted me to take out there I will agree to let him win as big bank roll as he was willing to throw off to me-" said Corbett, and let him win it ex- actly in the same way that 1 was to win his.
 There must be something about me-" said the little fighter, that pro- claims me a sure enough sucker, when a mutt like the Butte faro dealer would write me such a letter. If he will look around his own town he will find plenty of rosy-hued Holsters to last turn without sending clear on here for me-"

NEW HAVEN FRANCHISE.

Holyoke July 19.-That Northamp- ton is in earnest in its endeavor to break into the Connecticut league was demonstrated when Manager O'Con- nell of that city met Manager Dan Dan- aher of New Haven, at the game here Monday, and took up the question of purchasing the New Haven franchise. Only recently, the supJect had been preached, Danaher having at that time announced $10,00O as the lowest price at which he would part with the Iran chise. Evidently taking this as joke, the Northampton representative again renewed negotiations, actually offering $500 cash for New Haven's place in the circuit. T don't want the team,' said he, but only the franchise" You can have the team for 10 cents,' re- piled Danaher, with the bat bags thrown in, but the franchise will cost you just S10,0O0" Seeing that it was useless to pursue the matter further, the Northampton man withdrew in dis gust, and nothing more will be done for the present T mean every word said," declared Danaher later. The franchise is on the market, and North ampton can have it if it want is But S1O,O0O is our price,

JOHN l.. SMILES.

Marvin Hart claiming the title of heavyweight champion of the world makes me smile," says John l.. Sulli- van. ''Hart is good fighter, but he couldn't become champion by whip ping Root, a second-rate, played-out pugilist, who never has been cOnsid- cred a heavyweight. If Hart had whipped Root last year or the year be- fore nobody would have taken enough interest in the circumstance to talk about it. Why didn't he fight Ruhlin, or Fitzsimmons, or Corbett, or some other big man?
 What chance would Root, who was whipped by George Gardner in Buffalo Gardner was afterwards whipped in turn by Fitzsimmons In Frisco and more recently knocked out by Shreck in Salt Lake City, have against Bob Fitzsimmons.
 He'd have about as much chance as a pint of cream would on a hot cob blestone. FitZ would hand Root his quietus in about half the time it took him to dispose of Ruhlin or Sharkey."

JOE CONNOR CALLS.

Joe Connor, the former Springfield player now with Newark of the East ern league, called upon the Springfield players yesterday in New Haven. Be- fore the Ponies had dinner at the Garde hotel handshakes were ex- changed. Joe's mother recently died in Waterbury. The broken shoulder which has kept Connor out of the game several weeks is now strong again and ready for use. Connor plans to be in the game again within a week. Joe would welcome the chance to be a Pony again, even though he is sup posed to be enjoying an advancement. Connor doesn't like Sunday base ball. Long jumps are often necessary when Newark is playing Saturday games away from home. These are not so delightful as the comparatively short jaunts of Connecticut leaguers.

AFTER RUBE vICKERS.

Holyoke, July 19.-According to a statement made yesterday by Treas urer DeWolfe of the Holyoke club, there is still chance of Rube Vickers returning to the Connecticut league, the assertion being made that both Springfield and Meriden are negotiat- ing for the deserter's services. Both O'Neil and Sam Kennedy have ap- preached us with offers for Vickers." said DeWolfe, "and whichever is will ing to pay our price can have him." And the figure is!" Eight hundred dollars. This will include his fine and procure for him a clean bill of health from Holyoke. AS yet neither O'Neil or Kennedy has come up to our figures and whether or not either of them will do so I cannot say But $500 is what we want, and what we will stick out for"
 Secretary James O'Rourke. how ever. is opposed to allowing Vickers to return to the fold, the Bridgeport mag nate being quoted as advocating his banishment from the circuit, for this season at least.
