THE PUGlLlST
AMBY McGARRY AT LAST MEETS
 HIS MASTER.
Hook Keves. the Australian Did the Trick Nicely Last Night.

Essington, Pa, May 17.-Hock Reyes, Australia's lightweight cham pion, won his fight with Amby Me- Garry of New York last night on points.
 For twenty rounds he outboxed McGarry and met the New Workers rushes in fine style. McGarry's su- perior strength was met by superior shill.
 With showers of lefts to the face
 and vicious uppercuts to the jaw, Reyes clearly outpointed McGarry, and, although the New Yorker floor
 ed his opponent in the second round, h eyes came back strong and willing. There were about 2.500 in Tom O,Rourke's Tuxedo club. Yhan. the principals went on, the New York
 Special having brought over about 300, many of whom had a-plenty of McGarry money, not all of which was placed.
 McGarry and Reyes arrived at the ringside at 9:45 o'clock. McGarry
 was seconded by Paddy Walsh, Joe Falvey, Tommy O'Neil and his broth CT. Mike. In Reyes corner were Johnny Loftus, Jack Mcdonald, Char ley Swanson and Jim Farrell.
 The Australian. clean-cut look
 ing boxer. lean and 1.-the, appeared
 to be cool and confident. McGarry
 was slightly nervous. Both looked to be in perfect shape.

TAFT BOYS WON.

Perhaps as exciting finish as was ever seen at ball game on the Taft diamond in Watertown was the one Of yesterday when Taft nine won in the eleventh inning. Their cp- ponents were the Harstrom school nine of Norwalk. Taft took a com handing lead in the game when she had scored four runs in the first i've innings. Harstrom by hitting and bad fielding tied the scored in the next three Innings and the ninth in- ming went by without break. In the tenth Harstrom secured the lead by one run and 1t looked bad for Taft. The latter however accom- plished what loked like an impossi- bility and sent a runner over the plate with the tying run. In the eleytnth Harstrom was shut out in order, Bingham. who took Sangers place doing excellent work in the box. Two men were out in the Tafts half of the eleventh when Bingham was hit by the pitcher and took first. He was sent to second on Pages sim gle and raced home with the winning run when Sanger drove a hot one at Dove. which went through him. The final score was $ to 5.

ERRORS WERE COSTLY.

New Haven, May 17-Errors by the home team and timely hitting by the visitors caused the downfall of New Haven in her game with New London at the Savin Rock grounds yesterday afternoon. making the sixth straight defeat for the Prairie Hens. The local team is in bad way just now. Burke's broken finger still both CTS him. Captain Hayward is confined to his bed under doctors care, and Hannifan has not recovered from the injury to his shoulder. The latter covered third yesterday. Sherwood go- ing to short and Sussman resuming his old place at second.
 New London played snappy ball all the time, while New Haven's players came at critical stages. The Blues had the Lead. 3 to 1, up to the sixth inning. when the Whalers sent five men across the rubber with three hits, assisted by errors by Burke Sher- wood, Bunyan and Hannifan. The visitors added one more to their score in the sixth and two in the ninth. The score:-

CANADIAN LOSES ON FOULS.

Buffalo, May 17.--Charles Con- kle, the wrestler and boxer from Hamilton, Ont, forfeited the decision to Rube Ferns in the third round at Niagara Falls last night, being dis qualified for punching in the clinches.
 Canadian rules were to prevail. but Conkle insisted on walloping Rube in the body when they clinched. He was warned several times. but paid no attention. Ferns hit too hard and was too clever for Conkle. and would have won before the fifteen rounds had Conkle fought fairly.

BASEBALL NOTES,

Jonah Hartford. Four straight only. That was heart breaker.
 Luyster did the trick again. Wagner should not be blamed.
 Lack of hitting lost us our chance Four straight to the Capital city boys. One run looked as big as noun tain.
 Farley served them with sauce himself. .
 Holyoke is due for trouncing this afternoon.
 Old Nick" got away with a safe swat at any rate.
 Everyone is taking a fall out of Yale this season.
 New York Nationals went ur against it hard at Pittsburg.
 The luck of the Hartford team is worth sl,000 to the management.
 Pretty small potatoes to kick be. cause the Democrat bulletins were first.
 Umpire Joe Theisen threatened to fine Farley because the latter kicked on balls and strikes.
 City officials had to go to the tall timbers yesterday as the Crosbyites were playing on the field.
 Heine Batch played third base for Brooklyn yesterday. He got two hits, one of them three-bagger.
 Physical Culture meeting in ST. monsville will attract the members tonight. Second session of the club.
 Fleming's hit in the ninth yester- day came just at the right time, and Bagley and Lepine were ready to fol- low him up. Hartford will not meet the Prodi- gals again until June and by that time the Jonah may have been given the 23 sign.
 Pat Dougherty has broken into the game with the Lancaster team of the Tri-State league. As a starter he re- placed Chic Hartley.
 Those Bridgeport twirlers are do- ing some nice pitching. Letting Nor wieh down with two hits in two games is putting them over few.
 Representatives of the Shop league will meet promptly at 1915 at the Democrat office this evening. Every member is requested to be on hand at 7:15 sharp. By the way Kid Mccormack slam- , med the bail the first two times he came up it is safe to say that he wanted four hits instead of two as his days work.
 Too had New London would not consent to have the game played here Saturday. It would draw a record breaking crowd as the half holiday goes into effect in several of the fac tories.
 The "I told you sos" will get in their work now on the New Haven teams slump That bunch of ball players has good stun in them a; that and they will be heard from be- fore many weeks have passed by. 1 The New London management can. not be blamed for not trsnsferrinF tue kauit ul EdtuIudl tD t1ls ClIN. No matter what the attendance might be over there. fans do not take kindly to the transferring of games
 Waterbury will try the leaders to- morrow on their own camping ground and the following day will visit the Whaling town. We should pull two victories at least out of three games for the balance of the week.

in theatrical circles. will be seen at the New
National all OF this week in her new
play by Rida Johnson Young, GLORIOUS
Betsy" This new play has for its central
figure that radiant belle of yesterday, Betsy
Patterson, whose beauty and ambition
made for her one of the most remarkable
careers ever attained by an American
woman. From the position of a Baltimore
belle, whose wit, pride and rather daring
independence made her the admiring COM
ment of all fashionable society in America,
she sprang suddenly into international no.
tice by her marriage with Jerome Bona
parte, the brother of Napoleon, just at the
time when he was proclaimed emperor of
the French. In writing GLORIOUS Betsy
its author does not go into the darker side
of Betsys life, but deals with those days
when her name was the toast of every
gathering of note from Baltimore to New
Orleans. 1t harks back to the old Sweet
Springs of Virginia, when that resort was
the gathering place for the best in wealth
and culture and beauty of which America
could boast. 1t is at the springs that
Betsy first meets Capt. Bonaparte, who,
ment he has received the guest of the
American nation. has travelled to this out
of-the-way resort incognito. Jerome be-
comes infatuated with the reigning belle,
Betsy Patterson, and manages to have
himself employed during her stay there to
give her lessons in French Betsy becomes
intensely interested in her tutor, but her
pride and ambition fights against acknow-
lodging that she could love a man in such
an inferior position.
She coquettes with him, however, as she
does with half a dozen others. Betsy
leaves the springs ignorant Of Jerome's
true personality, deeply offended with him
because of his refusal to accompany her
party to Baltimore, where great prepara-
lions are being made for the reception of
Capt. Bonaparte. 1t is here at an elabo-
rate fete given in his honor that Betsy
first discovers that her tutor and the much
talked-of brother Of Napoleon are one.
They are betrothed and the rest of the
play deals with the efforts of Napoleon's
agents to prevent their marriage. In ad-
dition to the regular afternoon perform
ances Wednesday and Saturday, there will
be a special holiday matinee Thanksgiving
day.

England life has yet managed to capture
the hearts of the city and country folks
alike as THE Old Homestead" has done.
The play is a delightful picture of rural
simplicity. 1t has little plot and no ambi-
tious dialogue. What it successfully pur-
ports to be is a character study, with
plenty of light and shade Intrigue Is want
honest people and honest motives. The
mere mention of the names of Joshua Whit
comb, Cy Prime, Seth Perkins, Aunt Ma
tilda, Rickety Ann, Eb GanZey, Happy
Jack, is sufficient to bring to mind all of
those interesting rural characters. and at
the same time there arise in the back
ground pictures of the old farm. the home
stead, Grace Church on Broadway, New
York, and the arstocratic mansion OF
Henry Hopkins, the New York millionaire.
The double quartet is still retained as
feature of the production, and an entire
new scenic equipment is promised. There
will be matinees on Thanksgiving day and
Saturday.
