WHIPS HIS TRAINER.

New York, Sept 21.-That Young Otto, of knockout fame Is an excel lent boxing instructor was amply proved last night at the stag of the Long Acre A. C., when his former pupil, Jack Nelson, scored two knock downs over his teacher. Billy Evans, another member. was scheduled to box with Otto, but Evans did not ap- pear, so Otto rather than disappoint his fellow-members, induced Nelson to go on with him. In all of their former tits Otto has invariably scored knockout. But last night he was inclined to be gentle, as 1t was only an exhibition, and he played with Jack.
 Near the end of the second round Otto got too careless of Nelson's right which is heavy. and before he knew It Nelson dropped him with a swing to the jaw. Otto arose. but was put down again. Again he arose, and then the bell rang. Otto more than evened the score in the third. and Nelson was almost out when the bell sounded. In the other bouts Bobby Moore won from Terry Edwards, Joe Black drew with Eddie Terrier, Wal lace beat Frank West. and Frank Howe defeated Young Matthewson.

WAKE UP CONNECTICUT.
Nutmeg State Not Represented in the
 A. A. U. of The Country.

The Metropolitan Association of the Amateur Athletic union of the United States which controls athlet- les in the districts that comprise the State of Connecticut. held its meeting in the St Bartholomew's Athletic club New York city, on Monday evening, September IT, and much to the regret of all interested, when the roll call was finished 1t was found that the state of Connecticut had not one athletic club on the membership roll of this great, big organization. Con- necticut should have at least a dozen clubs in the Metropolitan Associa- tion, and in order to popularfze ath- letics in Connecticut, the president of the Metropolitan Association. and secretary of the Amateur Athletic Unior. James E. Sullivan. 21 Warren street, New York city. has written letters to all the sporting editors of the leading Connecticut papers, asking them to organize ath- letic clubs in their cities and give games and that he will appoint them a local commissioner. representing the Metropolitan Association. and likewise make them handicapper for the district in which they are situ- ated.
 There are many competing athletes in the state of Connecticut who have no club to turn to. Anyone in Con- necticut who is interested in track and field athletics or sport should correspond at once with the president of the Metropolitan Association to see if something can be done whereby Connecticut instead of having one or two athletic meetings year will hold fifty.
 President Sullivan's plan to ap- point newspaper men as commission CTS and handicappers in cities like New Haven. Stamford. South Nor walk, Norwich. Meriden. New Bri- tain and New London is good one and should bear fruit.

THE DIAM OND
RAGGED WAS
 THIS GAME
Lynn Played One of the Worst Games Imaginable and
 Springfield Won.

Lynn, Sept 21.-In the raggedest exhibition of the. national game seen in Lynn this season, Springfield de- feated Lynn yesterday afternoon by score of 10 to 4. Long and O'Con- nor were the battery for Springfield and Labelle and Daum for Lynn.
 Labelle was in very poor form, not having recovered from bad hit on his pitching arm, received in the last week of the league season, and the Springfield swatters caught his pitching right in the middle for sev- enteen hits and a total of twenty-one, while the local batters could not hit Long to any advantage, getting but six hits with a total of seven. There was a small crowd present and they made up in fun what they lost in other respects, Labelle being the par ticular target for their jests and josh ing.
 The visitors started in to win the game in the first inning, O'Connor. Curtiss and Yale slamming the ball for fair and O'Rourke helping along with beauty, while slow fielding by Lynn helped in giving two runs. Hard hitting all along the line for Springfield yielded three runs in each of the second and third innings. The ash wielders from Springfield me the sphere in the middle and kept the fielders busy chasing grass cut ters, Yale, O'Connor, O'Rourke and Luby particularly being in the swat ting feast.
 The third inning was a good one for the Springfield nine, for Luby, Robarge and Long each got singles and Mclaughlin got a three bagger, three of the pairs of dark blue legs making the circuit of the bases. In the eighth two more runs came over the rubber on singles by Robarge and Tansy, assisted by a weird throw by Henry. Lynn got a run in the first on base on balls and errors by O'Rourke and Mclaughlin and scored one more in the third on hit by Page, who was assisted toward the plate by sacrifice by Barclay.
 In the eighth clean hitting by Low ell, Clark and Henry brought Bar clay and Bigbie over the rubber after they had been presented with their base on balls. Lowell, Henry and Bigbie did the error making for Lynn, and O'Rourke with two bad ones, Mclaughlin with two in right field, and Long, Robarge and Curtiss with single misplays, did the error work for Springfield. The score:
 R.H.E. Springfield 9 2330O0020-10 8 17 . Lynn ... 100000 6 8

BRISTOL BEAT DUBLIN.

Berlin. Sept 21.-One of the great est attractions at the Berlin fair yes- terday was the ball game between Bristol and the Dublins of Meriden. which was won by Bristol, 4 to 8.
 Over $500 was wagered on the game and both managers had strengthened their teams by the ac- quisition of several professional play CTS. The Dublins had Rudolph, New Haven's pitcher, with Burns, of Springfield at short and Barry, the South Manchester crack at third. The Bristols also were very much in evil dence with Pete Wilson, Hartford's boxman, on the slab. Burke of the Maine league at third and Gilmartin, another of Breckenridge's men at short.

DANBURY WON AGAIN.

Danbury, Sept 21.-Another col- ored team and one that has beaten several fast organizations in New York and New Jersey. the New York Giants. came to town Wednesday, and was defeated by a score of II to 6. The game was loose in some re- spects. but kept the crowd interested, for the colored gents got a lead on the Invincibles at the start and 1t was not until the eighth inning that Steve Moore's boys won out.

was in JohnsOn's favor, his left fire quently reaching Joe's face and his right catching Jeannette on the body as Joe rushed in.
 Early in the second round Jean nette cut Johnson over his eye with a long left swing. Johnson rushed hard but was wild and Jeannette three times reached his eye before the bell rang. After that the fight was pretty much all Johnson's, al- though, owing to Jeannette's clever blocking. Jack never had his oppo- nent In distress except for moment

JIMMY BRIGGS WHIPPED.

Baltimore, Md, Sept 21.-Jlmmy Briggs, of Boston. received an awful beating last night at the hands of Kid Sullivan. of Washington before the Eureka Athletic club. The contest was scheduled to fifteen rounds but in the ninth round after Briggs had been sent to the floor three times Steve Mahoney threw up the sponge to save his man from knockout. It was Sullivan's fight from start to fin- ish.
 Sullivan wore his man down with repeated body blows and frequently staggered the Bostonlan with rights and lefts to the jaw. In the seventh and eighth rounds Briggs was stag gering at the sound of the bell.

Willie Fitzgerald Put it All Ove, the New Yorker-More Good
 News of the Boxers.

Bridgeport. Sept 21.-willle Fitz- gerald of Philadelphia, made Amby McGarry. the New York lightweight, look very much like a novice last night in six-round bout.
 Fitzgerald started with tantaliz- ing straight left that hit the mark every time. In the second round n succession of lefts and rights to the chin cut McGarry to his knees.
 In. the fourth round Fitzgerald put Amby down for the count three times and could have put him out had the gloves been less than pillows. The bell saved Amby as he broke from a clinch and tOttered to his corner. The fifth round was repetition of the fourth. Fitz received one hard right swing from Mc(iarry in this round on the side of the face that gave the McGarry ro0ters hope, but after that Fltz took no chances.
 In the sixth Fitzgerald put Nc Garry down with right swing to the jaw. Amby took the count and hung on the rest of the round. At the fin- ish ,McGarry was very tired.
 Young Corbett. who is here to train at Captain Bonds training quarters for his bout with Terry McGovern, was introduced.
 Jack Kimer was pretty soft picking for George Curry. The first few seconds of the rounds settled Kimer. for 1t took all his ambition. Twice he went down from hard rights, half slipping on the floor. He was grog- Ry at the close. Curry put 1t to Kimer hard In the second round and had him on the edge of dreamland. Klmer did little better In the last round but both were pretty tired.
 Hank Griffin scored knockout ov- CT Young Fitxsimons in the second round of their bout. It was good light up to the time when Griffin sent Fit.simmons through the ropes, clean out.
 Young Hyda of this city surprised them all by having the best of his bout with Kid Kit of New Haven. who Is supposed to be one of the best little fighters In the state.

minute we try it something or some

Der the time we tried to cure Skinny
Sawters Of being a good example"
Why. we couldn't go down town for
weeks that people wouldn't look at us
and laugh and say we got cured our
selves.
That other time we played kidnapers
and kidnapped Mis- Woods little girl
and hid her behind the company sta
bles-that turned out entirely wrong.
and after Mis- Woods got through tell

know Princeville was discOuraging to

you about can remember IL yet.
and all the time there comes with it
the same feeling you get when you eat
too much cream pie or something like
that-a kind of sinking feeling follow
ed by an all goneness all over.
You see, school had let out for the
summer and our crowd was going
around having a pretty good time and
not bothering anybody much, we
thought. although a lot OF people al
ways tried to make trouble when we
tried to do anything 1t came along,
then, one day that we made up our
minds that nobody could object If we
played pirut. My Uncle Billie says that

There aren't any Spanish gallons in
Princeville and there isn't any main
except Main street, but the river is
there and il makes mighty good Drac-
ticing ground for fellows that are
thinking OF taking 70 piruting when
they grow UP. A couple of US were
thinking Of it once, but not since thaS
time.
Tom Broabst's big brother had a gig
ging boat down in the river, big
broad one that couldn't upset If II tried,
and there was a.hole in the end seat
for the flag stan or the main truck or
whatever the piruts used TO call the

got her up there in a day, too. although
the river runs pretty swift. and then
we set about making our lair-piruts
always have lairs and strongholds.
Just opposite the shore OF Barr's
eddy is Gill's Island, which has a grove
of trees on IL, and right below that is
another little bit of an island every
body calls the sand bar because there
IS nothing but sand and stones on 1t.
You know what great fellows the
piruts used to be to sail in and out Of
the islands. II seemed as If this place
had just been made for the business.

1t was only the cows coming down to

they didn't look at all like train OF

IT don't know the cows very well."
Snowdrift said. -and they are so large
that they make me feel nervous. Don't
you think we had better be going
now?'
Very we'll" Mildred said. and they
went down the other side of the fence
along the clover field Before long they
came to a woodchuck, which some peo-
pie call a grounding, sitting up on a
little pile of earth and looking IN every
direction. At first he was going to dive
into his hole, but Snowdrift called to
him.
you needn't be afraid" she said
This child understands"
How do you do. chi1d?" said the
woodchuck. getting down on all his
four feet. He was very fat indeed and
his coat was gray
How do you do?'' Mildred said
'T hope Spot didn't come with you"
said the woodchuck- He worries me
with his barking"
Snowdrift told him that Spot was III.
and he said he was very glad to hear It,
Then he showed them all about his
farm, with little roads running about
meals. Mildred was very much inter
ested. because she had never noticed a
real woodchuck farm before.
Don't you find It cold IN the winter?"
she asked
Perhaps I might" he said. "if
wasn't always asleep. I go into my
house when the snow falls. and IL
makes me so drowsy that can't wake
up until IL goes away again."
Mildred thought this was a story, like
those that the ducks told. so she looked
at Snowdrift to see what she would say.
'Tt really is true" Snowdrift told her.
He just curlS up and goes to sleep. and
he sleeps for weeks and weeks. He has
an easy time OF It I wish he had some

They stayed with the woodchuck un-
til IT was time for supper He invited
them 10 nave some cloFer Win MIN,
but neither Snowdrift or Mildred liked
the taste OF it. so they decided to go
home.
"Good-by." said the woodchuclr.

"Good-by," said SnowdrIft. Don't

And so they went home and found tea
