Jack Hess Again Trail. Prodigal. in the Dust Norwich Was
 Also Soundly Thra.hed.

Springfield, Aug 30. -- Pitching the grandest ball game of his career, Jack Hess led the Ponies to T brilliant victory over Waterbury on Hampden park yesterday. Though two taps given the little round thing by the visiting players are forced into the hit column on technicalities. the mighty twirler really merits niche in the Hall of Fame. reserved for mo- hit pitcher. Both the hits were measly scratches. While Waterbury was be- ing beautifully blanked, the Ponies sent three of the herd scurrying for the full distance.
 In the nine turns which the Brass City crowd had at the bat, just 20 men faced the Pony. pitcher. Not q man of the lot ever reached second base and only five of them got as far as first. Two of these were base on balls beneficiaries. For seven straight innings, only 21 Waterbury men came to bat In building I'D his fine record, Hess used brains and hrawn, n startling change of pace helping to demorallze the most valiant swatsmiths of the opposing aggrega- tion. The score:

PLAYED LIKE sCHOOLBOYs.

New Haven. Aug. 3O.-The least said of the game between New Lon don and New Haven at the Savin Rock grounds yesterday afternoon the better-the better for New Lon don. The latter team put up one of the worst exhibitions of the national game seen on the local grounds this season. no fewer than ten errors be- ing chalked mp against them. Pitch CT Ingraham. "the boy wonder" was found for fifteen hits. but some of these should have been turned into easy outs. Captain Kennedy was out of the game on account of the injury to his head received in Tuesdays game. and Pop Rising covered the initial bag. where he made a mess of it. Robertson was in Rising's place in left garden. and he was every where but in the right spot when balls were batted toward his terri tory. In fact, with the exception of Finn. Long and Keane. the visitors conducted themselves like schoolboys. The score: RH.E. N Haven 1 12O30212s-1f Is 0 N London o 00000200 sI0

THE AMATEURS
SPORT PICKS ALL CITY TEAM
As Made Up it Could Give All the Independent Teams a
 Good Beating.

How would this go as an All-City League team: Mike Slavin, c; Bob Moran of the Pastimes, p; for first base George Gaffney would fill Tn as well as anyone, as a hitter he certainly has been showing up as well as any first baseman in the league. George Mulligan, If he were playing the game that he is capable of, would get the place but it seems that the Washington Hill boy has not got into the game this season as in past years. Mike" Delaney of the Hills would hold down second base as he Is in class by himself. The third corner could be neatly talk zen care of by Fritz Henebry, with Jimmie Noonan close second. For the half way station William Lallier would undoubtedly be the choice of the majority. although many would claim that Johnnie Edmunds should have the place. As fielder, base runner and hard worker, Edmunds is very good, but the batting of Lallier more than discounts the above, and when 1t comes to making pretty stops very few have 1t on the Brooklynite. For the field Tommie Lawlor,. Brother Bill Thompson, and Walter Leggett look as good as any of the others, although for the field there could be any number selected. as there are several players who as regards bat ting and fielding would show up, al most equally in the field. Let the others pick out team and meet some Sunday; such contest would be in- teresting.

 Dan Patch's Fast Mile.

New York. Aug 30.--The showers yesterday afternoon kept the attend ance down at the Parkway Driving club. but the card was a good one and furnished several surprises.
 In the 2:30 pace Anna Wilkes sold for $20. Nikko won as he pleased in straight heats. The 224 trot pro- duced some good ones. Pools sold Oracle Baron s20, Mildred Wallace Ss. Nelcyone. Emily Baron and Al Axworthy S6 each. field $10. Nelcy- one won the first heat handily Quar- terdale captured the second heat. Nelcyone finishing last then Oracle Baron took the next three heats and race rather handily.
 Bass was put up behind Nelcyone in the fifth heat. but fifth place was the best he could do. The judges fined Mir Brusie S1O0 for laying up the first and second heats, and Mir Martin S10O for laying up the second third and fourth heats. In the 2:1S pace Fabaolia, a ? to favorite over the field. won the first two heats without trouble. Arrow won the third fin a close finish. with Orange burg. and Dunder won the fourth. A brown was put up behind Fabaolia in the fourth heat Col Anderson owned by H. NJ. Rigney. of Water bury did not show up well in the 2:24 class, coming in 8. [, 6, 6, and fin the five heats.

sPRINTER, cAvANAUGH.
lmprovised Track Events Out on East
 Main Street.

The persons who were in the vi- cinity of Hayden street Monday night were treated to track meet free of charge, in which P. J. Cavanaugh, the east end barber. and Messrs keating. Holland and Hanrahan were the star performers. Several others also participated. The principal event was a hundred yard dash be- tween Cavanaugh and Holland. which the former, who was at one time a star runner, won by about three feet. Rube Holmes acted as starter while Attorney Joseph Reid and Michael Slavin. the school inspector. were the judges. The distance, although only supposed to be for 100 yards, was from Hayden to Cherry street. Cava- naugh lives in the neighborhood and when he saw that Holland, who works in a cafe near by, really want ed to race him. he entered his house and prepared for the run. Holland did not think he needed to make any preparations, as he thought he would have a sinecure defeating the barber.
 So the race began. and CavanauRh threw his long legs out in fine style and led all the way, notvithstanding that Holland at the finish was going at fast clip. If the distance had been about 100 yards longer, Cava- naugh would undoubtedly have lost as he was fast tiring. The race wa5 a result of an argument which first started over the merits of Captain Harry O'Hagan. 0'Hagan in Cava- naugh's opinion. is the best first sacker in the league and any one who knocks him has got to show the tonsoriai artist the reason. So when on Monday after Waterbury had lost to Springfield to Q. Holland started to criticize O'Hagsn's playing. Cava- naugh more than got after him and one thing led to another. and finally the men agreed to have a sprintfnK contest The other events were broad jumping. In which Keating excelIed: high jumping which was BerEfns stronghold. and muscle expansion by Hanrahan- Before all the events had been run of large crowd had col- lected and the performance which it witnessed vas as interesting e any seen in this city in . long. tins.

 Will we ever learn to bat l? Holyoke here on Saturday for a double header.
 | Louis Lepine had a batting aver age of 1000 yesterday. He needs it. for his hitting has fallen of in the last week or two.
 Jim Downey reported to Manager Dowd at Hartford Tuesday, but he failed to bring the necessary equip ment for playing. He played yester- day.
 There seems to be hoodoo waiting for the pitchers on the Hartford grounds. Within week Bronkie and Dolan have pitched one-hit games and lost.
 That was a star play of Thackara's s in yesterdays game. catching a foul fly. falling to the ground and throw ing while on the ground to first base and completing double play.
 It is considered about as good as settled that New London will not play any more games on It's home grounds. The Whalers are to trans fer the home games 10 the rival cities.
 The fans who have Waterbury fin the pools this week are not saying many kind things about the Prod igals. II will need a good many safe hits to bring that record up for the rest of the week.
 Mickey Finn leads the New Lon- don regulars at the bat with an aver age of .2s3. Harry Long has an average of .2s1 for the sames he has played. Pop Rising of Boston Amer lean fame is hitting for .z27.

COLLINS IS SUSPENDED.
Boston Club Finally Acts Against Its
 Petulant Manager.

Boston, Aug 30-James J. Collins, manager and third baseman of the Boston American league baseball club, was suspended Tuesday for absenting himself from the team without leave. For several weeks collins has declined to take any part in the management. He has felt keenly the slump of his team this season and according to his own statement, has been unable to get in- to condition to play himself. Early in the month, Collins desired to select number of new players to strengthen the team, but instead an agent was employed to find new men and the manager was ordered to get in condition and play. He continued to absent himself and his suspension is the result.
 President Ban Johnson of the Am erican league arrived in the city last night and consulted with the club management regarding the Collins difficulty. Outfieider Stahl has been placed in charge of the team.
 President Johnson of tine American league said last night:
 "T'he suspension of Collins was not a surprise to me. The Boston club could not have taken any other course and 1t Is to be regretted that this ac- ton was not taken at an earlier date.
 The Boston club has shown great forbearance in its dealings with MT Collins. and 1t Is beyond me to ex- plain why he should so grossly be- tray the confidence and trust reposed in him. Mr Collins has many splen- did traits of character. and no one re- grets more than I do his present pre- dicament."

 WITH FIRMNESS Wants His Victory Clean and Free From Suspicion = Jeffries
 Comes to Life.

Cans declares that If he beats Nell son by the knockout or any other de- clsion he will ask that the ring be kept clear until he questions Siler. Nolan and Nelson as to their opinion of the honesty of the fight and the decision. He will ask the Dane if nc believes Cans hls master. If tho questions are not satisfactorily an- Bwered Cans says he will ask that they go on with the fight. It Is said, too, that if Cans wins he will chal- lenge any welterwelght In the c0un- try.
 There is no doubt that the fight will be of the whirlwind variety. Nelson being on the aggressive style and veritable bulldog, It will take some awful wallops, and many of them. before he is subducd, As long IS he can wobble to his corner. even If very groggy. you cun depend one minute of rest will bring him back lil;e young bull who does not know be meaning of the word fear once inside the ropes rigged in his fight Ing togs.

LOCAL BOYS THERE.

At Danbury yesterday the home team defeated the Philadelphia Col ored Giants in a close game. The score was 2 to 1. Ernie Wade and Bowman. the opposing pitchers. did good work. only nine hits being made by both sides. Tom Lawlor and Fred Henebry. Waterbury boys, did the best playing for Danbury and the vic tory was largely due to their work. Henebry got two of the Danbury teams four hits and Lawlor also got one. Both played perfect fielding game. On Labor day the Danbury team will play two games with the Coe Brass team of Torrington.

JEFF HAS THE FEVER.

The Goldfeld fever has struck Jim iefferies. The champion of them all ras asked as to whether he would lgaIn enter the ring If sufficient in- lucements were offered.
