s1o.ooO THUMB.

Philadelphia, May 24.-A $10,00 thumb was broken here Monday morning, and when Clark Griffth and other American league managers and the followers of their teams hear of 1t they will have cause to exult. The fractured thumb is attached to the left hand of one George Edward Waddell, commonly known as "Rube." The accident means that the complexion of the American league has changed and that for the next three weeks at least the Athletics will have the hardest work possible to hold their lead. By that time it is expected that the $10,000 thumb will be healed again. The accident to "Rube" occurred Monday morning while he was driving with friend Ca male friend). During the drive wagon, which was on the wrong side of the street, collided with the rum about. Waddell was thrown out and caught his thumb in the wheel. With out bothering about the hurt. "Rube" started in to pound the driver of the wagon, but policeman interfered. The x-rays were put on Waddell's thumb. and it was found to be frac- tured above the first joint. This will keep him out of the game for at least three weeks. The accident is particu- larly unfortunate to the Athletics, as "Rube" was in great form. Only one run was scored against him in his last fouri games, and TuesdayIihe struck out thirteen men. including every member of the Cleveland team, Ia new record for major league base ball.

Rules to Govern Britt and Mo- Govern Fight Agreed Upon
 More Fight News.

New York, May 24.-Straight Mar quis of Queensbury rules will govern the Britt-McGovern fight which Is to be held at Madison Square Garden next Monday night. This was finally decided at conference at the Metro pole hotel last night. when William Britt. representing his brother Jim my. Joe Humphries, acting for Terry; Harry Pollock. representing the Twentieth Century A. C.. under whose auspices tho contest will be decided And Tim Hurst. whoAls sci refes~est tsss fight. met to make final Arrangements for the bout. Y
 Before Hurst arrived at the, confer cnce. Britt and Humphries agreed on the rules which require that the fight CTS protect themselves at all times but made provision that If the men fell into clinch and neither showed a disposition to break. the referee should step between them and forcibly sep arate them. during which time neither fighter will be allowed to deliver a punch.
 When Hurst appeared on the scene the situation was explained to him and he said that-it met with hls entire ap- proyal. Britt and Hurst then had q long wrangle as 10 just what eonstl tutes n clinch. This was satisfactorily settled. and then Hurst said:
 "No matter what the rules are. will see that there will be no hugcing, wrestling and clinchIng. I want clean, fast fighting. and I'll be In the ring to see that the public will get it."
 William Britt and Joe Humphries will be personally responsible for their respective charges. This means that Referee Hurst will not recognize any towel or spongethrowing unless It Is done by either of these men. If any other person than these two fin either contestants corner jumps into the ring he will be put out and the fight will proceed.
 Britt rules favorite in the betting. Ed Shayne. a prominent sporting man wagered $3oO to S225 with Ice Har- ris. shsyne taking the Britt end. Sev- eral other bets were recorded. some of them making Britt a 2.to-f favor ite. This will he Britt's first fight in the east. and he Is anxious to make good showing. Another Incentive to each man to do his best Is the fact that the winner has been promised match with Battling Nelson.

Springfield, May 24.-Because of the fact that Wednesday is Memorial day. the wrestling match between Ed Atherton and Jim Barnes for the mid dleweight championship of the. world and a purse of $500 Is to be held in Graves hall on Tuesday night of next week instead of on Wednesday as planned. When the match was made, the fact of Wednesday be- ing a holiday was overlooked. It Is believed that match on Tuesday night will be more satisfactory to the general public and Atherton will be tified of the change in date to-day, Barnes having already agreed to 1t.

THE DIAMOND

 CLIMB UPWARD
Battle of <Pitchers Treat and Wal Ter Which the Former Won
 Handily.

Bridgeport, May 24.---It was pretty hard for John Waller to lose yester- days game to Waterbury, who cap tured the contest by the score of ? to 1. The Orators hit harder and made fewer errors. yet the visitors won, and cnriously enough, all their runs were of the earned variety at that. The visitors came down from Waterbury with horseshoes and rabbits 'foots" and all the other paraphernalia that has the power to bring luck, and luck arose superior to hard hitting and good pitching and they came within an inch of shutting out the Orators. It was a great day for scratch hits. and three of the hits that the visitors scored were of that order. But they had the good Judgment to get them together. From pitching standpoint it was fine contest between Red Waller and Treat. The score. below shows that. Waller had the better of the contest, but it was only by a slight margin.
 The pitchers kept the players from running themselves out of breath till the seventh. when the visitors got q couple of Texas leaguers that broke the spell. After Nichols and Wagner had been retired O'Hagan lifted the ball back of Terry Rogers bay. It was pretty high. and after it attained its ittitude Bockstahler made a dos- perate attempt to capture it. But the outfielder was too late and O'Hagan made his two bases. Then Baker who is not on the list as a strong swats- man. came to the bag and raised . Texas leaguer some distance behind Al Odell. and 1t was too far in for Castle to capture it. It counted as an other two sacker and O'Hagan scored In the second half of the inning the Orators also scored and made matters even. After Beaumont went out on a short hit to McAndrews. Jimmy O'Rourke landed on the ball for three-bagger. He sent the ball out into the extreme southwest cor. ner of the grounds, and 1t almost went out of the grounds at the car riage entrance. Bockstahler hit the ball to Wagner who fielded to Siavin to stop Jimmy from scoring. As Slavin dropped the ball the run scored. Slavin was spiked in the knees at the same time. which was the reason he dropped the ball. Phoe- nix then singled and Waller was given a''pa'ss. It looked promisieh eif1eih win the bases full and only one man out, hut Treat. who gave signs of going up in balloon. was brought back to earth. and struck out Castle. and Rogers could not get the ball past Me Andrews. and the side was retired.
 The visitors scored the winning run cleanly in the ninth inning. Nichols opened with q single pase second base. Wagner was struck out and O'Hagan hit little one to Waller. but Baker. who was doing the swatting for the visitors. landed on the ball and almost duplicated O'Rourke's hit to left field. and Nichols came home with the win. ming run. Tn the second half of that inning the Orators did not get a man to first base. The score:
