It is fact that the discarded arms which the American government has sold at auction were at the time good enough for American marksmen ill the field So it is not difficult to imagine. that the agents who bought these arms in New York for shipment to foreign countries had no difficulty in supplying the revolu- tlon1sts in South America and else where with superior weapons of war.

 NEW YORK, April 23.-New York's fourth victory over Brooklyn places them within one game of the ex-cham- pion Pittsburgs, who now lead in the race for the National league pennant. As generally anticipated, Boston has failed to keep up the gait it struck in Brooklyn, and the result of it's in- glorious defeat at the hands of Phila- delphia removed them from the top of the column to an equal position wial the Quakers in third place.
 The games in the American league did not affect the standing of the two leaders, but the Greater New Yorks fell back from third to fifth place, while the Detroit and Washington teams made slight advance. St. Louis won it's first game.

FIGHT IN PRIVATE.


 Before a select crowd of sports gathered in barn on the outskirts of New Britain Saturday night Will lie Murphy of New Britain defeated Hughey McMann of New York. It was good battle from the Murphy point of view as the New Britain boy was a surprise package for McMann. Murphy started the blood from Mc- Mann's nose and mouth in the sev- enth round and from that time until the end of the fight McMann was a sorry sight. But he kept fighting back all the time and the only thing that saved Murphy was the fact that McMann missed the punches that had the most beef behind them.
 In the twelfth round Murphy sent McMann down with well directed straight right. He was up quickly and the boys mixed it up until the bell. McMann had to clinch to save himself in the fifteenth. There were some lively exchanges from the fif- teenth to the twentieth. Both men went down in this round and they were going at such a terrific clip that they did not hear the bell and the referee separated them.
 Although Murphy got the decision he had a close call and it was the narrowest escape from a defeat that he has encountered yet. In the oth- CT bout Iron Man Mccormick of New Britain knocked out Leroy Draher of New York in the eighth round of what was to be ten-round go. The boys are matched to meet again after months time.
 Murphy left for Baltimore yester- day. On Thursday night he will fight Genie Foren in that city fifteen rounds.

WHO IS STATE CHAMPION?

Jeff Doherty of New Haven, Mosey King of New London and Peter Ora go of Hartford are claimants for the lightweight boxing championship of Connecticut. Doherty has insisted for some time that he was champion, but as he has never defeated King, the New London boy appears to have as good a claim for the title as the New Havener. Doherty has been very successful this season in his three-round bouts before the clubs in New York. In his recent bout with King the latter had shade the bet ter of the contest. If Drago is 2 match for either Doherty or King he must have improved greatly since he fought the last time. Doherty is ambitious, for he has offered to meet anyone, not excepting Battling Nell son. Drago thinks that if he can defeat Doherty he can be called the state champion, and match is being arranged between the two. Shorty Cans is in pretty good shape now and he might like try at the cham pionship honors.

Temagami is shaped like an octo- pus, with long stretched-out arms, and its shores are indented with deep cir cling bays. island strewn and culminat- ing in sharp points and curves that add to the beauty of this magical scene. ''The lake of deep waters is the meaning of the Indian word. and they lie deep and cool in their bed of granite: in stiffness perfect mirror. fin storm darkly menscing, with foam edged waves showing fang-like teeth, writes Kate Westlake Weigh, in Four Track News.
 Being 100 square miles in area, Te- magami forms one of Canada's great natural reservoirs. Mighty rivers from the height of land to the north flow into it, and 1t in. turn feeds the streams that flow southward. carrying their life-giving waters through the forests to the peopled lands below. There are 1 1,io0 islands in the lake. and the government has included the whole area in a magnificent forest reserve of a million and a half acres.

ALL ATHENS EN FETE
King George of Greece Opens
 Olympic Games.
AMERICAN TEAM READY AND HOPEFUL
Nine Hundred Picked Athletes of the World Marching In Procession at Revival of the Ancient
 Greek Sports.

ATHENS, April 23.-Under glorious sunshine the opening ceremony of the Olympic games was performed here by King George of Greece.
 The huge stadium was already pack ed to it's utmost capacity when the royal procession arrived to the strains of the Greek and British anthems. First came carriage containing King George and Queen Alexandra, then came a carriage with King Edward and Queen Olga. These were followed by carriages with Princess Victoria, the Prince and Princess of Wales and the members of the Greek royal fami- ly, with their brilliant suits, and rep resentatives of the various European courts. The procession traversed the whole length of the stadium amid vo- ciferous cheering, and the dignitaries took seats in a semicircle.
 Then Grown, Prince Constantine, duke of Sparta, who is the president of the games, moved from the center of the arena, saluting King George, and read an appropriate address, stat ing the objects of the meeting and ex- pressing the hope that the victors, whatever their nationality, would re- member that their victory had been acclaimed on the sacred soil of Athens by descendants of the ancient Hell lenes. He concluded by begging King George to proclaim the opening.
 King George arose and declared the games opened. tj
 All the participants then moved in procession around the stadium, headed by bands of music. As the 900 picked athletes of the world moved past, pre- senting an imposing display, they were cheered to the echo. Passing the royal personages, the standard bearer of each team impressively lowered the flag of his country, King George grave ly returning the salute.
 The games began with gymnastic displays and contests, no Americans participating. The members of the royal family remained to the finish.
 At night the Acropolls is brilliantly illuminated.
 Eli B. Parsons. Yale university and New York Athletic club; Fay R. Moul- ton, Kansas City Athletic club; James s. Mitchell and H. L. Hillman, New York Athletic club, are steadily i'm proving and probably will be able to 1 compete in the games.
 The Americans were visited in their quarters by United States Minister ! Jackson. On returning he said that they were delighted with their recep- | tion and with the facilities for their comfort and convenience. Not single | complaint did he hear on any side from any one of the American contingent, l and all seemed to be in the best of | spirits and perfectly confident of the issue. There has been some diff culty experienced with the physical of a few of the men," he said, but there is nothing very serious the matter with any of them."

Waterbury ended up most suc- cessful week of practice Saturday by defeating the Belmonts, semi-pro- fessional team of New York. Eddie Barker of Waterville had chance to show what he was made of as . pitcher and he twirled in excellent manner. Mckay, the old Yale twirler, pitched the last part of the game and his work was also of the premier quality. While Waterbury made many errors, her players man. aged to find the ball at the right time for scoring. The Belmonts could do but little with either of the local twirlers. The score:
