Exciting Part of Pittsburg-New York
 Game Caused Apoplexy.
 Pittsburg, Aug 4.-The bail game between New York and PittsDurg yes terday was not only exciting as to the playing of the teams, but furnished a number of unusual incidents among the. spectators. During the strenuous seventh inning, when Pittsburg not only tied the score but went one ahead of the visitors, J. W. Maher, aged Al years, of Williamsburg, was seen to collapse in his seat and before aid could be given him he was dead. The physicians say the cause was apo- plexy superinduced by the excitement of the game.
 While the next inning was in pro gross a heated discussion arose in the private box occupied by Barney Drey- fuss, president of the Pittsburg club, and friends. The discussion was started by an outsider giving the name of Thomas J. Ward of Minneapolis, Minn, who is said to be student for the priesthood. Dreyfus ordered Ward from the box and upon his re- fusal to go the president, it is said, showed him. when Ward retaliated with blow which knocked Dreyfus down. Ward was arrested adn last night Mir Dreyfus entered suit against him for assault and battery

FAME WAITS FOR WILSON
Forsstvills Pitcher is Sound to bs
 Heard From.

Pete Wilson of Forestyille, who has done so well on three occasions ill the box for Hartford, is only 19 years old. Although this is his first appearance in league ball, he has evidently had no difficulty in more than holding his own. His feat of flaming 6S men ill four games and pitching two no-hit games attracted the attention of man. agers who had never seen him pitch. Manager Tracy secured him for try out against Meriden, and his fondest expectations were realized. He shut out his opponents with three hits. Against Norwich he was equally sue cessful on Monday.
 Although Connie Mack has opened communications with Wilson, he re- fuses to sign with a league team. He says that he prefers to remain with the American Silver Co, where he has a good position.
 Although he has good command of all curves, Wilson's strongest point is a speedy drop, which has caused the best of them to fan the air Wilson is also better than the average pitcher at the bat. He knocked out a neat two-bagger in the Norwich game, aud his nit yesterday brought in two runs.

THE DIAMOND.
MCCORMICK DID TRICK
His Home Run in Ninth Won the Game For HOl. yoke - Springfield and neriden Break Even.

Holyoke, Aug 4.-Forgetful of the fact that it is the tailenders who us ually give the most trouble, the Paper Weights went into the game yesterday with the feeling that the performance was mere formality, in which they were expected to work through with as little eXertion as possible, as the game would be theirs without trying. Au contraire; they had to hustle like the very dickens, and then they won out by only the narrowest margin.
 Amid mingled tears and exhorta- tions, with the score tie, Hoffman led off in the ninth, picking out one to suit his fancy and sending out as clean double to the f1agpole as the most fastidious fan could ask for. Then Mccormick came up, looking mild as kitten, and helped his colleague over, lifting the first ball pitched him over left field fence, and trotung around the circuit without opposition. Rabbits feet and four-leaf clovers. The score:

HERMAN AND CoRBETT.

Indianapolis sports want to see Kid Herman and Young Corbett in bat tie in that town. An Indianapolis club has made the boys an offer for fight the latter part of this month, but Her. man will not make another match un- til he is through with Charley Weary.
 Yesterday ne was due to leave Chi cago for Denver, where, on August IT, he clashes in ten-rdund battle with the Milwaukee star. Herman is in the very best of condition, after a strenu- ous campaign there and in the east, where, he says, he met and fought sev- eral who were not afraid of him, and was lodged by many who do not fancy his game.
 Herman's bout with Weary is sched- uled for the week when the national convention of the Fraternal Order of Eagles is in session. Many New York CTS who will attend the convention will see the Kid fight.
 If Herman is successful in his fight with Weary he will challenge Nelson and Britt.

Tonight before the Colma club Jim Ily Gardner and Rufe Turner will come together, and the fight is arous- ing more interest in Frisco among fight fans than any battle for some time.

A crowd went over to see Gardner yes terday They all came away with a great opinion of him after seeing him put through his paces, and when the betting opens Turner may not be as topheavy a favorite as was at first pre- Gicted:
