THE DIAMOND.
DAY
 OF LEAGUE
Holyoke and Her College Pitcher Beat Bridgeport New Haven Won From Springfield.

Holyoke, Sept 9.-Superb pitching by J. Frank Dolan held the Orators speechless yesterday. It wan the first real test for the young collegian since he joined the Champions, and he met the issue fairlyA There was never any quailing even when in the second in- ming there were thre men on bases with none out. In trying situations Dolan's mates stayed manfully by. Score, Holyoke 6, Bridgeport 1.
 Absurd errors by both teams robbed the contest of some of it's luster, but they could not dim the two spectacular double plays in which honors were even for the contestants. Hummel, Schincel and Deal pulled off the first while in the other Tommy Downey and Beaumont were the performers with Downey as the headliner. An other fiashy move that helped to make the show worth while was catch by Hoffman off the boyish Hi Ladd. The score:

TEN INNINGS PLAYED.

Norwich, Sept 9-It took ten h. nings to decide the contest between Meriden and the tail-enders. An error by Cote in left field allowed the only run of the game to come in. Rogers was in fine form and proved puzzle to the Norwich stickers. Mclean, who is under a physicians care, went into the game expressly against his orders and pitched a magnificent game, keep ing the hits we'll scattered. Other fea- lures of the game were the playing of McAndrews at short for Meriden and Farrell on the second bag for Nor wich. The score by innings:

NEW HAVEN WON.

New Haven, Sept 9.-In the closing home game of the season at Savin Rock yesterday afternoon New Haven won from Springfield in an eleven in ming contest by the score of 4 to 3. The game was played in fast time and was close and interesting from the start. Although Springfield hit hard and often, the hits were scattered and of little value from a scoring stand point.
 Tn the last half of the ninth inning the score stood to 1 in favor of the visitors. There seemed to be little hopes of a victory for Captain Hay wards men. Lenox flied out to Tan sey and Sherwood famed out for the second time. Bunyan made a seratci hit. Luby became rattled and gave sanfranandre a pass to first. Lawior was the next batter. hut having pre- vIously struck out. Billy Hayward. who was on the bench with an in- tured shoulder. walkedtO to the plate with hIS stick. The rooters went wi..a with excitement at the sight of Hayward af the bat with two men on bases when a hit would tie the score. The
 
 first ball let go by Lutr Hayward smashed out for three bases. tying tHe score Tn the eleventh. after two were o,,t sherwood drew a base on balls and Bunyan sent long fly To OCon- nor which he muffed. Sherwood think ing that one was out. stuck to second and could easily have scored on the error.

Daniel T. Hart's Milton 5. Won in
 Nashua Yesterday.

Nashua, N. H., Sept 9.-Yesterlay's card and the continued race from the day before cleaned up the races for the September meeting at the fair grounds. The weather was excellent, the track fast and the attendance good.
 In the fifth heat of the unfinished pacing race Oakley Baron went bad for the second time this season. The big stallion started off to keep up with the bunch, but, suffering from conges- tion of the brain, he staggered and fell against the rail in the stretch. In fall ing his head struck the rail and caused a flow of blood, which relieved th< pressure and saved his life. The sum- maries:

At the time of the filing 1t was given
out that the administration had made

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE"
White Whittlesey in One Of His Sue
cesses Tonight.

The first appearance of White
Whittlesey, the young romantic actor
in this city, is creating considerable
interest in the theatrical and play
going circles, and the demand for
seats at the Frazer tonight is an ex-
traordinary one.
Whittlesey, who is under the direc-
ton of Belasco, Mayer C Price, will
be seen here in the famous romantic
play, Soldiers of Fortune" Judg-
ing from the reports of those who
have seen Whittlesey in this charm
ing play, a genuine treat is in store
for his audience here.
Whittlesey's stage career has been
notable one for a young man. He
artists as Ada Rehan, Julia Arthur,
Margaret Mather, Henrietta Cross
man, Z. H. Sothern, Nat Goodwin,
Wilton Lackaye and Florence Roberts
and his starring tours have added
to his fame.
He was trained for the stage by
David Belasco and that master of
stagecraft predicted a great career
for his young pupil. The annual
summer seasons of Whittlesey in San
Francisco are looked upon as events
of the year in that city and his recent
season there of Is weeks broke all
records.
Whittlesey is presenting the we'll
known romantic plays, "Heartsease,
"The Second in Command" and SOL
diers of Fortune" for his present sea-
son and Belasco, Mayer & Price have
equipped him in a splendid manner.
All the scenery costumes stage ac-
cessories and effects are carried by
the company, requiring two special
baggage cars for its transportation
and the company numbers rs people
including a choir of singers. A staff
of stage mechanics also accompanies
the players.
Among those who are in the com
pany are Eugene That's Lawton, Vir-
ginia Brissac, Alta Perry, Editf
Campbell, Halle White and Messrs
]. NJ Sainpolis. Harry d. Byer, Hen
ry Lewellyn, Reginald Mason, Tay
lor Curtis, Erville Anderson, Carl Yo
no and Charles Sherman.
