HART WHIPS THREE.

Louisville, April 7--It has become known that Marvin Hart gave three big fellows from the Point" river section of Louisville, their trimmings good and proper Monday night in a saloon.
 The triple knockout occurred in three seconds. It was the first time Hart had been in action since he lost the decision to Tommy Burns at Los Angeles It was by reason of Hart's misfortune in that engagement that his encounter with the men. named "Haywagon,' Granny" Taylor and Jimmy Stenson, occurred. They made .light.ef Hxft's fistic ability. t'
 A pistol almost figured in the case and motion to draw the weapon brought on the fight. The man who had the gun received wallop at the but of the ear that almost caused him to go through the floor. One of the men Hart pushed down. the other he gave a slight jolt All of the men hecssed for mercy and when they were told to lave the saloon one of them threateued to kill Hart.

BASKET BALL
GREAT INTEREST IN GAME NEXT
 THURSDAY.
Crescents of New Jersey and the Delphis of Bristol Will
 Be Here.

The basketball game which is to take place in this city next Thursday evening between the Crescents of New Jersey and the Delphis of Bristol, is causing considerable talk among the lovers of the game. Both teams are in excellent form for the game and will make the fight of their. lives to win out. No officials have yet been selected to take charge of the game and it very likely Massachusetts will supply them. Playing under the new rules, that is new to this city, will be a novelty.
 The Crescents will have the advan- tage in this respect but the Delphis are practicing earnestly under those rules and expect .t0 be nprQfGiepts ill them when the game is called. A special train is coming over from Bristol and at least five hundred people are expected on that train. The Crescents win also bring big following from New Jersey. Local sports who like this pastime will un. doubtedly crowd down to the auditor ium on Thursday evening to take sides with the visiting teams.

SEND IN YOUR CHOICE.
Waterbury Base Ball Management Is
 Looking for Q Name.

It has been suggested that name be given to the Waterbury profession al team by which they will be known throughout the league. The Democrat opens it's columns to all who wish to send in names that they think would fit the new team appropriately. One man suggested that they should be called "The EditOrs," not because there are any of the editorial profess sion playing on the team, but from the fact that Harry Durant himself is literary chap and the name would not be bad one. However if you have any pet name that you think would fit the bill send them to the sporting editor of the Democrat and a good one may be the result.
 Manager Durant has signed Kid Sherwood of Bridgeport to play~on the Waterbury team. Sherwood was on New Haven's reserve list but as lie was not forwarded contract before March 1, as the new law requires, Secretary O'Rourke has informed him that he was at liberty to sign with any team, therefore Manager Durant captured him.

THE PUGILISTS
FROM A POOR BOY TO A RICH
 MAN.
Battling Nelson Worked for Ten Dollars a Month-Other
 Fight News.

Huron, $. D., April Half a dozen years ago when Battling Nelson walk ed into Huron, penniless and strang- CT, he sought employment at any sore of work that would provide Linn an honest living. He came from Hege- wich, Illinois, expecting to find em- ployment in the Chicago & Northwest ern railway shops here, but was dis appointed and sought employment elsewhere, finally striking a job as q helper in a meat market at $10 per month. This salary was not sufficient to pay his board and he therefore found home with J. J. Robins and family, doing work about the house and barn in payment for his board. A few months later he got other em- ployment and finally left the city. Tho Robins family however, being much interested in him, kept track of his wanderings and Nelson always ap- peared to appreciate the kindness shown him by Mrs Robins, whom he delighted to call his foster mother.
 Immediately after his recent bout with McGoyern in Philadelphia, Nel. son sent Mrs Robins telegram ad- vising her of his victory, although she had endeavored to induce him to for sake the ring and engage in other pur- suits. A day or two since she re- ceived letter from Nelson in which he says:
 T have many times thought of you and my friends in Huron for I have many good friends there. Things have changed since I was at your home. Then I worked for $1O per month; now get. or got on March IA, $9.311,- 20, for just eighteen minutes work. That's going some, isn't it? For my fight with Britt on September last when I knocked him out in eighteen rounds, got $24,9SO for one hour and twelve minutes. Since early in Sep tember I have been on the show stage receiving S1.OO0 to $1. 400 per week in all about $20.00O. I go to Los An geles to fight Herrera for a $20.000 purse l receive a bonus of $4.000 and the winner will receive S9,6OO, and the loser $6,400 AS. have whipped him easily once think can do so again easily"
