PARKER AND PROTEGE.

Brockton, April 30.-Harvey Par ker, who is back in town after his New York go with Bothner, had.a let ter from Hjalmar Lundin yesterday, in which the latter said that he would be in Worcester Monday. At that time it is expected that match for himself and Beell, Parker's phenom- enon.
 w. H. Bracket was around last night repeating his wish to have Par ker take him on and try to throw him five times in an hour.
 ''If 1 took on this man Bracket" said Parker. 'the people would think it was time a donation was taken up for me to get me out of town. The match wouldn't draw 30 cents. If Bracket wants to put up money on the result of such a bout he can have a match. or if he'll come down to the room where we wrestle some evening we'll try 1t for fun"
 John J. Little has also returned from New York. Although the early editions of the New York papers came out with no mention of any bout at the Grand Central Palace be- tween Little and Young Hacken- schmidt, Little went on with the lat ter and remained the fifteen minutes they were scheduled to wrestle He says Beell threw Fleming around in a way that was scandalous and that he dented the boards, while Parker, doing all the effective work and keep ing Pothuer on the defensive. never theless lost the decision on points. the referee being missed as he left the platform.

BASEBALL NOTES.
Norwich here Wednesday.

Norwich here Wednesday, City league opening was grand. twill be a great battle in the City league this year.
 George Mulligan and Pete Lawlor were not with the Hills yesterday. It is good betting these two clever play CTS cannot remain away from the game very long.
 The City league could be called the Prodigals as we'll as the state leag- uers, there were so many o& the old players who returned to the fold yes terday.
 Quite difference to the managers to have an enclosed field. No more being turned down and abused for asking for little contribution to help meet expenses.
 The league managers will meet to- night at o'clock and arrange for the schedule for the next games. 0th- CT business of importance will also be transacted.
 The Taft school won a close but slow game from the King school of Stamford on Saturday. The Taft boys had the Kings by the score of to up to the ninth inning when ragged playing allowed the Kings to score two runs and that is the way the game ended, to in favor of Taft.
 It looks bad for a game between Waterbury and New Haven to-day. but still the two teams may line up if the rain does not come down hard CT.
 Manager Durant has granted the use of the new ball field to the City Amateur league for all Saturday games on which his team does not play here. This will be another chance for the league to do some good business.
 When the All Meridens and the Tigers of New Haven lined up for a baseball game in Meriden Saturday afternoon there were but five specta- tors present The game was called of for lack of interest and absence of gate receipts to meet expenses.
 The ball game in Naugztuek Sat- uryfsy afternoon was one of the clos est contests ever seen there The Oaks and the Firemen were evenly matched and the latter won out by one run This was scored by Dick Tuckey in the fifth inning D. Sweeney tvirled for the Ffrsneu and struck out three men Ia succession.

Bloomfield was then taken out and Dalton substi- tuted. Here is where the Brooklyns had batting feast, for they pounded Dalton's curves for eleven hits and scored twelve runs.

Two thousand people went inside the enclosure to watch the games and they were well repaid for their trip out there.
