ABOUT KID SHERWOOD.

It was learned from Attorney C. !. Danaher last night that all the New Haven baseball team has been order cd to report to the Savin Rock grounds next Thursday and the owner says that they will all be there. including Kid" Sherwood, who Is now work ing for Harry Durant on the Water bury club. In the notices sent out by Manager Danaher was the statement: Report ready to play game Thurs day. April 19.r This statement left a disagreeable taste in the mouths of Bill Hayward .Tuckey. Corcoran and Shea. who are at present all in New Haven.
 In the case of "Kid'' Sherwood who claims that he did not receive con tract from Mir Danaher. and in con- sequence has gone ahead and signed with Waterbury. nothing will he done until the season starts. and if Sher- wood does not report when ordered he will he promptly blacklisted from or ranized baseball Mir Danaher has placed the case in the hands of Sec retary Farrell of the National assc- ciation and has received Farrelrs as surance that he Danaher) is in the right regarding the case.

ALFALFA FOR WILD ANIMALS
Raised in Yellowstone Park to Serve as Winter Feed for Deer
 and Sheep.

Raising alfalfa to furnish winter feed for wild animals is proving a great success in the Yellowstone na- tional park, according to Superintend- ent Pitcher in a report just issued. One hundred tons of fine hay were raised in the government field near the Gardiner arch and stacked near the soldiers quarters.
 Superintendent Pitcher says that three years ago deer was seldom seen in the vicinity of Mammoth hot springs and as an experiment a few bales of alfalfa hay were scattered around near the parade ground. The next day a dozen blacktail deer made their appearance. the number steadily increased and now comprises over 100. The animals quickly lost all fear of human beings. and are not even startled by the firing Of the evening gun within 100 yards of them, but show much more interest in the low ering of the flag from the staff in the center of their feeding ground.
 Mountain sheep. considered the wild est of western animals. also became more friendly. and now number about Io0 within the confines of the park. These animals are rapidly disappear ing in the west. and this fact makes it the more important to preserve those in the park. Antelope. also. are be-

HIS HARD LUCK.

Johnny Corbett is bewailing the hard luck which has pursued his path in pugilism, and his story bears the real hard luck stamp.
 "I am certainly getting 1t thrown into me for fair,' says Johnny. ''After bringing Young Corbett up to that stage where he defeated six of Americas foremost featherweights, including Yanger, Broad, Bernstein, Santry, Oscar Gardner and George Dixon, the game was closed on us in Denver just when the Kid was a drawing card and money getter. After winning the championship from Terry McGovern, we came back here and signed to meet four tough boys, including Broad, Sullivan, Attell and McClelland. The lid went down again, and the fact that Corbett was barred in his own town caused the game to be closed against him in Michigan, Kentucky, Missouri and Connecticut.
 "The same thing Is happening in Smiths case. I confidently believe that Smith is developing into one of the best men of his weight in he country. In fact he has just about reached the stage where he can get money with the top-notchers, only to find the game shut down in his home town and in precarious state all over the country"

Hartford. April 16-It is probable that the third and deciding game in the series for the state basketball championship will be played in the First regiment arnory of this city on Thursday evening of this week. An inspection which was to have been held there has been postponed and all application for the use of the armory for that night has been lodged with the proper authorities through Captain T. NJ. Russell. commander of Company H of Middletown. who is acting in the matter for Manager T. r. Spain. Both Captain Russell and Mfr Spain think that the military authorities will allow the armory to be used on that night as the prospects for this game are very good. The officials will be Waters of the Fitchburg, Mass, Y. NJ. c. "A. and Metzdorf. of the Orange. New Jersey. Y. M. C. A. A large party of basketball enthus- lasts will come to the game from Mid dletown and Manager Sullivan of Winsted is also planning to bring over a big delegation of rooters.

ARouT THE FAKIRs.

Joe Cans certainly started some- thing in more ways than one when he began talking about the numerous fakes and fakirs, himself included, on the Pacific coast. His talk has in- cited Frank Carillo, the warm friend of Aurelio Herrera, to tell what he knows about the Mexican's fight with Terry McGovern that took place in May, 1901.
 Carillo insists that George Green, the original Young Corbett," for mer pugilist of the light. welter and middleweight classes, man who grew as he progressed in his career, "doped" Herrera the night he fought McGovern. He says the dope" was administered to Aurelio in the inter ests of a certain bookmaker who had bet s2,000 on Terry and feared he was going to lose 1t.
 Carillo has talked along these lines ever since the fight Herrera had with Kid Herman in Los Angeles, hut now he comes to the front with what he considers absolute proof of Greens perfidy.
 The dope" if any was admins tered, did not take effect at once, iudging from the reports of the fight, for Herrera knocked McGovern down in the first round and had the Brook lyn lad all but out.

THE DIAMOND
WATERBURY PLAYED MUCH BET.
 TER SATURDAY.
Newark Won Again. Mostly Through Errors Results of Other
 Games.

Waterbury played a much more consistent game on Saturday in her second battle with Newark. Joe Connor assisted the local team for six innings, going behind the bat. Joe was right there with the willow, too, and hammered out a single and a double in his two times at bat. Big Cy Voorhees, was in the box for Waterbury for six innings and held the Newark bunch down to six hits. Wallace, the local twirler, then took his place and aside from a little stage fright did remarkably we'll The first home run hit on the new grounds goes to the credit of Engle, who sent the ball over the left field fence in the third inning. Six of the Newarks' runs came in the first three innings before Voorhees, had settled down to business. In the next three innings Big Cy had the Newarks at his mercy. Errors were responsible for some of the Newarks' runs. About five hundred fans braved the cold weather to witness the contest. The score:

BASEBALL NOTES.

l Much better.
 | Dublins here tomorrow. Lefty Rogers has arrived in town. l Close call for that carload of ball cranks.
 The press box is for the working
 newspaper men only.
 Newark beat the New York Ma
 tionals. Waterbury without prac-
 tice held them down to eight and nine hits in two games. Whats the
 answer?
 The strong Dublin team will be
 here tomorrow and the Meridens will l try hard to wipe out that defeat ad-
 ministered to them on Friday last by | the Independents.
 More names are in for the Water | burys and we will be forced to close the lists this week. Some of the names are good ones and will prob
 ably stick to the team for the sea son.
 | "Cy" Parkins, Hartford's southpaw pitcher, has failed to show up, and
 Manager DaIy fears that the blonde
 haired twirler has jumped to the | Lancaster team of the Tri-State (out- law league. Manager Daly has Par
 kins' signed contract Oh file, and a
 month ago he received a letter from | the pitcher in which he stated that he would report on time and in con
 dition to pitch the game of his life. Manager J. H. O'Rourke heard in a roundabout way yesterday that Tommy Downey, his second baseman,
 has jumped to the Tri-State league
 and is playing with the Lancaster team of which Fred Crolius is mana
 ger. Manager O'Rourke says he does
 not see what Downey can be think ing of to take the risk. ''The boy is
 hurting himself" was his comment.
 As regards Crolius Mir O'Rourke says that he will never be able to play ill legitimate ball again. It seems strange that none of the state league baseball teams have not signed Mike Leahy, of this city, who is a brother of Tommy Leahy, the major league backstop. Mike is fully as fast as some of the catchers who played last year on state circuit teams. Haven Palladium. George Bone, the former state league baseball players, and one or the best polo players in the business, is at present working for Dick Miller, looking after the Maple Palace roller skating rink at Savin Rock.
 Ira Plank, who deserted Norwich two years ago for the Tri-State league is back with Norwich and promises to stay.
 The correspondent of the Provi- dence Bulletin writes that at the game Fast day in Hartford the grounds were so muddy that cranber- ries could grow and thrive on the out field.
 Manager Fleming says that Bagley of Waterbury the first baseman, will report in Holyoke, although there are reports that he is to continue playing in the Tri-State league.
 Springfield will open its exhibition season Thursday with a game with Newark. Montreal will play there on Friday and Saturday.
 Matty Lothrop who pitched for the Hartford Rubber works team last sea- son. pitched a full game for Holyoke Saturday and defeated Fall River, to 8. The game was played in Holy oke. Lothrop was very effective. holding his opponents to two hits tn- til the ninth. Then he weakened but his fielders got busy and saved him from defeat. old Sleuth Fleming got in two hits and made some pretty throws to the plate,

Ofd English Law.

There is a law on the statute books of England designed for the protection of the persecuted male sex which no man has ever had the courage to in- yoke. It was passed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. when parliament solemnly enacted that -any woman who. from that date would deceive or cajole into matrimony any of the sub jects of her majesty. by the use of false hair or any other thing false in connection with her body. or by the use of paints or cosustics. would be punished as for fraud ard deceit with intent to cause harm

National League Starts Sunday Basc-
 ball on Unique Plan.
 BROOKLYN, N. r., April 16.-The grounds of the Brooklyn National League Baseball club were yesterday crowded to witness the Boston and Brooklyn teams in their first Sunday game of the season here.
 No admission was charged at the several entrances nor were any score cards or programmes sold. At all the gates contribution boxes were conven- iently and conspicuously placed, and the majority of those who passed though voluntarily dropped the regular amount charged for the grand stand, pavilion or bleachers on week days into these receptacles.
 This was new experiment on the part of the management, and it seemed to work to good purpose judging from the piles of silver that were being counted in stacks on tables in the clubs offices while the game was in progress.
 Any persons who did not contribute, and these were few, passed in without hindgaBee eIRspptS P Policeb Commission, CT O'Keefe, with his secretary and sev- eral policemen, were present, but there was no interference on the part of the authorities. The commissioner said that he saw no cause for interfering, as there was no infraction of the law as far as he could judge.
 Five thousand persons witnessed the game, which was played on a rain soaked diamond and outfield.
 The feature of the game was Lum- ley's home run hit in the fourth in- ming. Boston scored it's fourth con secutive victory over Donovan's men.
 Score, to 8. Batteries-Needham and Young; Berger, Pastorius and Eason.
