BIackhOrse Changing

III letter to Frank Parker, of Ely,
says, in reply to Parker's inquiry
about the report that the Blackhorse
boom is at standstill, that 'some-
one is giving you taffy in chunks. :"
Instead of things being slow at
Blackhorse, he writes, the camp is
rapidly changing from city of
tents to town of wooden buildings.
Lumber is arriving in camp and the
men who are i'll business there are
makingshaste to change from their
tents to more comfortable structures.
Their experiences during the recent
snow storm have whetted their de
sire to be under more substantial
roofs.
Mr.. Ahearn also writes that town
lots have almost doubled in value
during the last few weeks.
lie says that three mining COM
panics are already in the field with
forces of miners developing proper
ties, and that Blackhorse has a
bright future.
Senator ii. A. Comins, who came
to Ely from his ranch on Decoration
Day, expressed himself as having
great faith in the Blackhorse mines.

THE DIAM ON D
LUYSTER PITCHED
 WINNING BALL
The Prodigals Could Do Nothing With the Hartford Twirler-
 Other Results.

The whole story of yesterdays de. feat by Hartford can be told in a very few words as follows: Billy Luyster had the Prodigals tied to the grand stand and the few hits that were made of his delivery were wide Fly scattered. It was expected that Eddie Farley would take his place on the slab again, but 1t was decided to defer his advent to the game. Eddie Hogarty was on the firing line and he had couple of bad innings and was assisted in letting the visitors score by some bad misplays. The first four innings were pitchers battle in which Luyster had shade the best of 1t on the number of hits made oil him. In the last of the fourth, after two were out, Thackara drew four bad ones and Jimmy Walsh sent him over the plate with the first run of the game with stinging two sacker to center field.
 In the sixth was where Hogarty received his. Gastmyer, the first man up, walked free, Justice rapped out single, Moves advanced both on a sacrifice and Fallon drove both over the plate with a two sacker. Luyster hammered one to Jack Walsh and that worthy let it go through him. Tom Crook smashed out another two bagger and this all resulted in four runs. After that things were easy for Hartford. Three runs came i'll the eighth, while the Prodigals got one over the plate in the ninth. The score:

SHOP LEAGUE NOTES.

Double header at State League park Saturday.
 The Oakyille team plays in Litch- field on Saturday.
 Hodge of the Oakville Co is doing good work with the stick. He start ed the good work last Saturday and ended up with two sacker.
 From now on the interest in the Shop league will be keener, only four more Saturdays remain on which the league can play.
 A game between the Oakville Co, and the winner of the pennant in City Amateur league would be very inter- esting. There is some talk of these teams playing for $10O.00. Let the managers get together and talk mat ters over.
 The rumor to the effect that Doc" Wooding, who is now managing the Oakville team, had resigned as man. ager of the team has no foundation, and the Doc" will continue to man. age the team for the renal. der of the season.

THAT RAILROAD WRECK.
Norwich Belief that Durant Slipped
 Elm a Quince.

To get a haw-haw from Norwich fan now it is only necessary to men, ton the railroad wreck up fin York state Monday which prevented the Waterbury team from going to Nor vich in time for game. The Nor wich people believe that Waterbury was afraid to play. President Daven- port of Norwich will not speak on the subject but it is said that Jack Tighe has his suspicious and if he can prove them he is going to try and have the game forfeited to him and demand the siOO fine which the rules provide for the penalization of a team that does no, appear to play its scheduled game. One supporter of the team said: "It doesn't look reasonable that a wreck. and freight wreck at that. away over In New York state. should block the whole Consolidate l system all the way east. Durant just slipped us a quince, that's the truth of the matter. He could have made other connections for Norwich at New Haven. at Bridgeport. at Che shire, at Meriden, at Middletown. or any number of other places. If every accommodation train in the state had broken down he could have haggei one of a half dozen troIleys and gos trunk line all right" It is said that when Dursnt called up Tighe to tell him he couldn't come. Tighe asked him where he was 'phoning from and Durant wouldn't say. His answer vas Tim hung up here west of Hartford"

BASE BALL TID.BITS.


 Where, oh where are our batting eyes?
 That Billy Luyster is our Jonah for certain.
 When it comes to foxy moves Conny Danaher has all the other managers bound and shackled.
 Pat Dillard has hooked up with the Savannah team of the South Atlantic team.
 Thackara's dash from first to the Walsh had the earmarks of a ten sec onds man.
 In twenty-nine games with Provi- dence Al Selbach batted for .257. Lachance has hit for .252 in eighty eight games.
 Chic Hartley has joined the Lan- caster outlaws again and 1t is to his hitting and that of Al O'Dell that Lancaster owes a victory over John- town on Tuesday.
 If we can wallop Sam Kennedy and his bunch this afternoon for couple it will take oif some of the sting of those defeats. We cannot afford to lose many more or we will be fighting to keep out of the second division.
 What a bitter pill that must have been to the New York management to lose the game of the day before yesterday because of foolish advice, and to lose the one yesterday be- cause Chicago played better base ball.
 Springfield will be here tomorrow and that team is to-day playing as fast base ball as any team in the league. Dan o'Neil may put Jack Hess, who they say is slated for big ger company next season, into the box tomorrow.
 Tri-State writers are jumping on Eddie Lenox. who unceremoniously left Lancaster to join the Athletics in Chicago. Pop Foster was moved in to shortstop in Tuesdays game and accepted seven chances without an error besides getting two hits.
 It's better than an even wager that Pop Foster will be big leaguer next year if he keeps up for Lan- caster his Eastern league batting form. The blacklist will be blacklist ed again if the New York Americans continue wanting the ex-orator.
 Connecticut league veterans have lot of sympathy for Umpire John- stone and are elated over the way in which he is being upheld by press and public. He pitched for Derby in the Connecticut league before Spring field and Holyoke were in the cir cult and was known as a nervy chap.
 Talk about your spectacular plays. but they were there yesterday. Eddie Swander ran clear to the left field fence and took the ball as it was coming over his shoulder. Cooney Rice did a similar trick in short field and completed a double play. Jack Walsh made a sensational stop of | hard hit ball. but could not recover in time to catch the runner.
 The swelling Is growing in Hart ford. as the following from this mornings courant would indicate: Detroit is the shaky member of the American league and Providence is very anxious to get into the major organization. If this scheme goes through it Is understood that Hart ford will be invited to take Proyi- dence's place in the Eastern league. There has been movement on foot for some time to have Hartford get into a better league and the scheme outlined above will meet the approval of all fans. Eastern league ball here would necessitate a new roof on the grand stand. however. and a few ad- ditions to the present team

THE PUGILISTS
CANS AND
 NELSON MATCHED Will Fight in November in Nevada Spike Robson Sick of
 America.

Battling Nelson and Joe Cans will fight for the championship November 14 before the club in Goldfield, New. The articles of agreement will be signed today and both boys will at once begin work to get into shape for the battle.
 The news that Goldfleld has been selected as the field of battle comes as surprise to the fight followers, for Bat Masterson has explained how a $500 purse would be about the proper caper in the mining camp. In- stead. however, the little fellows will go on for $30,000, and most of this is declared by Billy Nolan to be real money and actually in sight-and Billy has established reputation for knowing coin when he sees 1t and for insisting upon seeing 1t.
 Billy Nolan was in Hagen, Nev, last night and he sent along the fol- lowing good news:
 ''I am now on my way from Reno to Goldfield. Nelson is still in Og- den, where he closes his last theatri cal engagement before his battle with Cans, which will be on November IA in Goldfield.
 We will sign articles. and I will begin at once to make the Battler ready for the bout, and Cans will be- gin work as well.
 BILLY NOLAN"
 That looks very much like busi- ness. and Cans had better do, as Nell son says he is going to and start to get ready if he wants to climb into the ring within the 133-pound limit.
