Sayer.
Frank Rurrcll. tn" veteran player of
the New England League, has turned
thirty-scvcn and is apparently as good
as ever.
The Lynn Club has elected these new
officers: Mathew Mccain. president;

Hamburg. a Wcllknown theatrical
man. formerly of the Globe and Park
theatres. would very much like to fill
the shoes of the lamented Billy Rogers.
Eight minor league clubs are willing
to take Catcher James Archer off the
hands of Pittsburg. Archer is young
Canadian whom the club brought from
Iowa about two years ago After a
trial he was sent South and he caught
well for Atlanta last season. While
Harry PeitZ is i'll the club will not
max any move in Archcr's case.
New York Press: That there is such
device as the "spit BALI is conceded
bv pitchers who have had much cxpc-
riCncc and who are i'll the best posi-
ton to be acquainted with its pccu-
liaritics and idiosyncrasies. But that il
is the revolutionary agent which is to
reverse all the theory of the game, sc
far as the pitchers are concerned, is no
longer believed by the most radical cX-
ponent of the icW school.
Gradually Clarke Griffith is rounding
up his band at birmingham. Ala. and
by Saturday he hopes to have cvery
member in Uniform on the field The
arrival of Laportc Wednesday raised
the spirits Of the genial manager con-
siderabiy. Larortc has not yet signed !.
contract as he is holding out for big
money. but. nevertheless. he donncd
uniform and practiccd with the res,
of the boys. Laportc knows his worth
as Il ball player but "Grif" figures
that he is going far above the limit
when he demands a salary of s35OO and
$500 as part of the money paid for him
to the Buffalo club. This grievance
with the Buffalo club has nothing to dc
with Griffith. but the salary demanded
by Laporte is considered exorbitant.

Tony Moran Of New York lost to Kid
Attcll of Baltimore in the third round
before the New Era A. c. Thursday night
at Baltimore on a deliberate foul II was
a fast fight while it lasted, with honors
in favor of Attell. Moran realized that
he was being beaten and deliberately
| struck below the belt three times ir order
| to lose on the foul.
Jack Clancy of San Francisco 6ecisively
defeated Joe Grim. the Italian champion,
| in the windup Thursday night at Phila-
delphia. but Clancy failed. like many 9th
crs who tried to knock out Grim. Grim
| fought back hard but was wild and on
several occasions hit Clancy low This
did not seem to bother Clancy, who re-
newed his efforts to land deciding
punch. Clancy did lot of damage to

Despite the fierce storm of Thursday

Gressive lie would have Won Ashley
showed himself to be a willing boxer and
did most of the leading but owing to the
| advantage Connolly had over him he
| found it hard to land. In many Of the
rounds Ashley did manage to swing his
| left up to Connclly'S neck, ear, eve and
jaw. but was invariably countered on tho
body or face by the South Boston boxer.
| In the 10th round it looked j hit bad for
| Ashley. In rally he was countered on
the back of the neck with the right and
went to the floor dazcd. At the count of
time he was on his feet, ard by slipping
to his knees and clinching he avoided any
further punishment till the gong rang

TWO RICH CERBYS
To Be Run Today at New Orleans
Each Worth Nearly $4,000.

Two rich Dcrbics. worth nearly $1O,-
900 each. will be decided today at the
Fai: Grounds and City Park tracks,
New Orleans, and the best 3-year-ods
i'll the South will compete. Disobedicnt
is the favoritc for the Fair Grounds
race apd Jack Dolan is the choice for
the OTHER big event.
Up to Monday it seemed that Diso-
hedient would win easily. but he ran
81 poorly on that day that his admir-
ers have cooled considerably. He failed
to show the least trace of speed and
was badly beaten.
Many trainers believe that he is not
al his best just now. They blame his
lack of form to the training methods
pursued with him by his training-Own-
er. Tom MannicX. The latter is one Of
the. best conditionerS of horses in the
country. but his policy in keeping Dis
ohedient in half training all winter.
without a complete rest, was not wise,
the hOrscmen say. The big brown son
spring fresh and vigorous, as he should
have. In his two races he has appeared
duh and listless and has failed to dis
play either stamina or speed.
In direct contrast to DiSobedient' S
form is that which Jack Dolan, the
City Park Derby favorite. recently dis
played. He beat his most dangerous
opponents, Monterey and Debar, very
easily in Il race &c days ago. This ract
was not to Jack Dolan's fancy, as il
WAS at seven furIOngs, Il distance too
short for him to show to advantage.
over n longer route he will be hard to
beat. That he will win is the firm con-
viction of his owner, Jack Philips. who
says that the result is assured, barring
an accident.

A TOURISTS NECK BROKEN.
Partisan Merchant Who Put His Head
Out OF Car Window.

New York (SpeciaD Among the
passengers sailing on La Lorraine, of
the French Line, was a Frenchman,
who is returning to his home in
Paris with a broken neck. He is
August Bardy, a wealthy Partisan
merchant, who came to America on
combined business and pleasure
trip several months ago. While go
ing by train from Buffalo to Niagara
Falls, two months ago, he put his
head out of the car window. The
time intervening from that moment
until he found himself in a hospital
in Buffalo was a blank to him. He
was informed that he had received
a blow on the head and as a result
vertebrae in his neck had been
broken.
After a month in the Buffalo Hos
pital, Mr.. Bardy was brought on to
New York. To the surprise of his
physicians, the broken bone in the
neck knitted. At present his head
is held in place by an iron brace, and
he faces the unpleasant prospect of
being obliged TO wear the uncom-
Portable support for the rest of his
life.

SiIyeira And Castro.

New York (SpeciaD Manuel Sill
veira, in command of the 2,00O-ton
cattle ship Carmelina, was 10 days
out of Havana at the close of bust
ness Friday afternoon. OF exact
knowledge of his whereabouts there
was the same discrepancy as on pre-
vious days. William Nelson Crom-
well, the legal representative of the
assigned firm of j. NJ. Ceballos e. Co.,
said cables received in the afternoon
showed that the alleged absconder
had not yet landed at any port in
South America or the United States
and that his whereabouts were still
unknown. Yet every member of the
firm is strongly of the belief that
their missing agent is already in
Venezuela.
"Silveira was not only a friend of
President Castro, of Venezuela" said
member OF the firm today. "but he
was a partner of President Castros S
brother in the cattle business. Cas-
tro bought the cattle in Venezuela
Silveira took them on his line of
steamers 10 Cuba and sold them
there. What is there more probable
than that he has sought refuge in
that cOuntry?"
