MARRIED WOMAN HE LOVED.
Romance in Life Of Heir to the Throne
Of Austria.

The one romance of the Archduke
has been his love for the Countess So
phie Chotek, member of a noble Bo-
hemian family, and formerly one of
the ladies-in-waiting of the Archduch-
ess Isabella. Their union was at first
opposed by the emperor. for it was
quite unfit that the heir to the crown
should wed non-royal lady; bat,
remembering no doubt the sorro VS.
brought upon his house by loveless
marriages. he at last gave his consent,
and in the summer of 1900 the Count
ess Sophie Chotek became the wife
of the Archduke Francis Ferdins nd,
when she received the title of the
princess Of Hohenberg. This lady syill
never be empress of Austria, for the
marriage was morganatic one, and
before it took place the archduke re-
nounced all rights of succession to
the throne of Austria-Hungary for the
children born to the union. and at the
same time he took solemn oath that,
after his accession to the throne he
would never confer on his consort SOW
ereign honors. Francis Ferdinand is
a man of his word, and his children
will be well provided for by the great
wealth of the family of Este, which
is now his, SO one may be quite sure
that he will never seek to set aside
his promise. His heir, as sovereign,
will be his nephew, the Archduke
Charles Francis.

NEVER TOO OLD FOR GOLF. British Experts Decide That It May
 Be Played While Life Lasts.

London, Aug 3.-Dr T. c. Allbutt, regius professor of physics at Cam bridge university, recently gave out the dictum that the law ought to for bid any man to begin playing the game before he is 35 years old, until which time he Is capable of more vigorous athletics. Dr Allbutt left 1t to be inferred that golf should only be regarded as a kind of last resort for those tottering down hill toward senility.
 The presentation of the golf prob- lem in this form led to inquiries among the best known opponents and amateurs of British athletic games. As result the following table was compiled, representing theories as well as practice: Cricket should be abandoned at 40 years: football. 30; hockey, 35; lawn tennis. by women, 45. and by men SO: rowing, SO. The age for quitting cycling was not definitely fixed.
 According to the table golf should be played while life lasts, but should not be begun too young. Scotland's fee sport, curling, alone takes no re- gard for time. but looks forward to eternity.

 Charley Clancy, who has had ex- perience with Holyoke, Hartford and New Haven in the Connecticut league, as we'll as with Waterbury a few years ago, has been taken on by Newark of the Eastern league and is doing nice work so far. He has been in the Northern league during a part of this season.
 Cy Ferry of Pittsfield has been picked up by Hartford and set out by doing good work yesterday, when he was tried against Holyoke. The tall chap has had a lot of base ball ex- perience in many leagues and there ought to be plenty of base ball in him yet.

KID MCCORMACK JUMPS.

Deserts HolyOke for the Rutland
 Team of Northern League.
 Holyoke, Aug 3.-Michael J. (Kid} Mccormack quit the Holyoke base ball club yesterday and left yesterday afternoon on the White Mountain ex- lpress to join the Rutland team of the Northern league. Manager Tom LDowd announced the suspension of fthe jumping pplayer as we'll as a fine of $100. Mccormack is to receive $290 a month from Rutland. accord ing to the best information obtaina- ble. but taht means only about one months pay for him. Before going he told his friends de did not worry about next season, feeling that he can find plenty of employment with Independent leagues even if he should not be able to make peace with the powers that be.
 Mccormack was unquestionably one of the most valuable players un- der contract to the Holyoke club, despite the fact that he has not been hitting up to his real form this year. His batting average is PAS and his Dut thc IAlQ ndS Gl- ways been bad man to manage and did not take kindly to the disciplin- ary measures imposed by Manager Dowd, when in the early part of Dowd's regime Mccormack went of at tangent.
 It is not the first time Mccormack has quit the Holyoke team. Another man he couldn't get along with was the late Jesse Frysinger. He jumped Holyoke on August 26 of last season, but came back into the fold this year, in fact when 1t became apparent that Mir Frysinger was not to return to Holyoke. Some time ago it was re- ported on seemingly good authority that Mccormack and Dolan were to go to the Northern league, but the rumor was scoffed at, as 1t was thought both players were too wise to jump into a league that was al ready on the ragged edge and likely to go under at any time. Dolan has withstood the temptation. but the offers were too alluring for McCor- mack, though he was getting good money from Holyoke.

sLUGGING BEE THIS.

Holyoke. Aug 2.-Not a bit of trolI- ble did Hartford have in hitting the ball yesterday, and the sphere was sent humming to all the unoccupied portions of the field. Sixteen hits for a total of 2. were the impelling force that resulted fin the IA runs which the score man chalked up for the Colts. The Champs gathered in only half as many hits and runs. Incidentally. Dowd and Stackpole marred their fielding averages for the first time and with the jumping of Kid McCor- mack. 1t was an unfortunate day for Holyoke all around.
 Stackpole Is like a certain charac- ter that we used to read about in our childhood: when he is good he is very. very good. and when he Is bad he is horrid. Yesterday he was horrid. He stayed fin the box just five minutes. and fin that time five runs came over the plate. and only one man was re tired. Then Stack was chased to the bench. and Carson Hodge went to the slab. He was Ineffective. and Hart ford hit safely in every inning except the eighth. Pete Wilson started fin to do the twIrling act for Hartford and lasted six innings. The Champs were getting so threatening with the stick that Pete was retired after tho sixth, and Cy Ferry was hauled out of seclusion. Cy was all to the merry and not a hit was made of his deIiv- cry for the rest of the game.
 Tom Dowd cavorted around third base. where the Kid used to b.. and his work was not up to the high standard he was shown previously. He made a pretty pickup of buut. hut he tried to cover some of Bakers ground in addition 10 his own. and gut an error on a try of this charae- ter.

THE PUGlLlSTS
BIG PURSE FOR
 BRITT AND TERRY
Ten Thousand Dollars Offered the Two-Jack O'Keefe Was
 Whipped.

If Jimmy Britt wants to fight Terry McGovern again, the chance has been offered at Goldfields, Nev where they are putting ,pN 1i2xge purses for the ring artists now.
 Tex Ricard, who a few days ago offered a $5,000 purse for Harry Lewis of Philadelphia and Jimm. Britt, and which was sidestepped by Britt, has now doubled the figure and offers the match with $10,00G purse to Britt and McGovern.
 Joe Humphreys yesterday received a telegram from Ricard saying that the money would be hung up for the men if they could agree on weight and the division of the purse. Ricard will also allow travelling expenses foi two men from New York to Gold fields and return in the event of Nc. Govern taking the match.
 Tho offer originally came to Harry Lewis, and was accepted in every de tail. Britt, however, has apparently decided not to take a chance with the Philadclphian, and Ricard now turns to McGovern, hoping that the native son would want to wipe out the lac ing McGovern handed him short time ago in Madison Square Garden.
 Humphreys is inclined to take the match for McGovern if he can be guaranteed that everything is righl before starting from New York fol Goldfields. Joe figures that it is a long distance toward the setting sun and that he is not anxious for a walk over the Nevada mountains. It takes four days on railroad to reach Gold. fields, and Humphreys at present is busily engaged in figuring how many days that would make if he and Terry had to do road work all the way back.
 It is not known what disposition Britt will make of the offer, but Nc. Govern expects to hear from the na. tive son in a few days. The pro. moters want the battle for the after. poon of Labor day.

The only run of the game was made by Thompson in the first ming on a three-base hit by Baldwin. In the ninth inning Klobedanz of the I.itchfeh nine with two men on bases and one out drove a long fy fo left field which was caught by Arthur Brimhle and sent to the home plate. where the run was blocked and the game ended after one hours playing.
