SAVED THROUGH LOVE LETTERS

A curious incident occurred in a street

fired it, apparently through his heart.

only a slight wound in the ribs.

taken to the police station. On being

ONCE MORE WE SUFFER A DE-
 FEAT.
Bridgeport Did the Trick Again and Against Cy Voorhees,
 Players Released.

Bridgeport, April 28.-The Orators duplicated their victory of Thursday over the Prodigals of Waterbury by winning the game yesterday at New field park over Durant's pets by the score of to 4 The reorganized Ora tors had their batting clothes on and their optics open, and won the game by superior batting. Perhaps it would be closer to the truth to say that Cornen was more effective than our old friend, "Cy" Voorhees,, who was the slabman for the visitors, in a pair of the bluest blue stockings that were ever exposed to view at Newfield park.
 After the fourth inning Cornen did not allow the visitors a hit He got down to mid-season form, and pitched the best he has so far this season. "Cy" Voorhees, did not do as well, nor have the same luck. In the fifth inning, with the score 5 to 4 in Bridgeport's favor, he struck Phoe- nix and the stocky chap ambled to first. Then came the worst bungle of the game. Castle attempted to die the death of a martyr to advance Pnoen1X to second. He hit the ball toward Voorhees, and the latter had a bushel of trouble in picking it up. The ball was evasive Cy got the ball finally and threw to first, but the ball went up in the air, and the him. ble Castle continued his mad career to third base before he was stopped, and in the meantime Phoenix had scored. Cornen went out on hit to Ritter, and O'Rourke died at first on hit to Terry Rogers. Odell landed on the ball hard toward short and al- though Ritter stopped it Odell was safe, as it was impossible to recover, and, Castle ran home. Bockstahler hit short one to Cy. who was care full this time and fielded it correctly and the side was retired. There was no more run getting after the fifth and only one hit made off Cy's deliv- cry. The score: ..

THE PUGILISTS
HART INSISTS THAT HE GOT RAW
 DEAL.
Tommy Burns and the Referee Stood In Together-Some Other
 Fight News.

New York, April 2S.-Asserting that Tommy Burns had made an offer to Tommy Ryan to dope him in their recent battle, Marvin Hart, the Louisville scrapper who is matched to meet Mike Schreck before the Twentieth Century Athletic club in Madison Square Garden May 8, ar rived in New York yesterday, and for the first time told the story of the recent fight between himself and the Detroiter in Los Angeles.
 Hart did not try to belittle Burns ability as fighter, but he declares that with a fair deal he can knock Tommy out in twelve rounds. He says that Manager McCarey of the Los Angeles club, and Referee Eyton were in the game to trim him, and that Burns was their tool McCarey handled Burns business on the coast and was after the long end of the money. Hart planes Ryan for not having his interest thoroughly pro- tected
 "A few days before the fight" says Marvin, Ryan came to me and said that he had received an offer from the Burns people. The offer was to the effect that all Burns mon- ey was to go to Ryan in the event of Ryan being able to dope me before the fight. Ryan turned down the of fer, but his actions later did not show that he was very anxious that I should get square deal.
 "The whole fight was a mistake. Ryan tried to make me clever, and I know myself. that I cannot be a clever boxer. am fighter and nothing more. When Burns and my self took our corners I examined his hands and found them bandaged heavily with tin foil under the tape. objected, but the referee said that they must be allowed. The first thing Burns did was to stick his thumb into my left eye, effectively closing the eye for the rest of the fight.
 Then he butted me with his head and broke my nose. Not content, he tried to close the other eye with his thumb. He struck me low three times, but still the referee would not stop his foul tactics. .. z-.
 ''I am ready to deposit $2,500 to bind another match with Burns, at from six to twenty rounds, and I'll bet any amount of money within req son that can knock him out. When Burns arrives here to fight Fitzsim- mons I'll be at the depot to meet him with chip on my shoulder"

BAGLEY PLAYED WELL.

Holyoke, April 2s.-That young man Frill. whom Dan O'Neil found digging clans on the Rhode Island shore and persuaded to become a pitcher, had everything on the Hol- yoke men. His control was well-nigh perfect. for he gave not a base on balls. and would have had a clean record but for wild pitch in the seventh on which Mullen scored from third.
 He had the Champs puzzled nearly all the way. and 1t was only for a moment in the seventh that they seemed to have guessed the answer. A double by Mullen and a single by Lawrence came together then, but a double play on a fly to the outfeld. made possible by bad coaching, cut the Champs of with their lone tally of the game. For five innings not a man had reached first. and Teddy Larkin made the first break in the sixth. when with one out. he rapped clean single to center. After the seventh only one man was safe. and that on a wild throw by Taylor.
 The rest of the game was featured by Springfeld's heavy hitting, and some fancy fielding by BagIey, who pulled on a few plays that would have attracted more notice in a close game He saved his inf'eld tvo or three errors by pulling In wide throws. and in the sixth pulled down Tsnseyis high liner when the bases were full retiring the side.

PROMOTER JIM CARROLL AT

Trying to Match George Bothner, and John Little for a
 Contest.

John J. Little of Brockton, one of the best lightweight wrestlers in New England, is anxious to take a fall out of George Bothner, the light weight champion and generally ac7 knowledged to be the most scientific atch-as-catch-can wrestler in the world.
 Little witnessed the match between Bothner and Parker at the Grapd Central Palace Tuesday night. aiid although the decision went to Both ner, the Brockton man believes it should have been at least draw. or that Parker was entitled to the shade. At any rate Little hunted up Jim Carroll, the Waterbury, Conn, promoter, and Carroll readily con sented to offer purse for a match between Little and Bothner.
 Little has accepted the terms, and now Carroll is awaiting letter from Bothner. The men are evenly matched in regard to weight and should make a rattling ,bout.-New York Telegraph.

CAR STRUCK BY A TRAIN
Accident Occurs at Street Crossing in
Milwaukee, and Fourteen Per-
sons Are Injured.

Milwaukee, Feb. 26.-The papssenger
train on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul road from Chicago crashed into
a South Milwaukee street car at the
Kinnickinnic avenue crossing, near
the Thomas furnace plant, injuring Il
persons and overturning and wrecking
the car and delaying railroad traffic
for more than an hour.
William Royals. the 1agman at the
crossing, says thai the signal to lower
the gate was given him too late by
the operator at the Beecher street
crossing on the road, and to the fact
that the smoke and steam from the
furnace had obscured the train, the
accident was due. The crossing is one
of the most dangerous in the city, and
Bay View people have fought for years
to have the tracks elevated to prevent
accident.
Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 26.-Three street
car n1otormen and a colored man We're
seriously, and probably fatally, in
jtired and many passengers were bad
ly bruised as the result of two street
cars on the Pittsburg, McKeesport and
ConnellsviIle division of the Pittsburg
railway company meeting IN collision
while going at full speed on a steep
grade at Boston, Pa, few miles
above this city. The accident is said
to be due to a defective switch. Both
cars were demolished.
