Miss Blanche Smith Grim
inally Assaulted By a
Negro Brute.
WARRANT SWORN OUT.
Deputy Sheriff Smith Sent
Yesterday to Aarrest
Enoch Sims.

Miss Blanche A. Smith, a young
woman 20 years of age, an orphan
who lives with the family of Mr..
James Williams, near cambridge,
was assaulted by a negro man while
alone at the Williams home last
Tuesday about noon.
Miss Smith came to town yester-
day and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Enoch Sims, a negro living
on another farm belonging to Will
liams in the same neighborhood.
The girl was accompanied by Will
liams, who stated that the matter
had been kept quiet pending a search
for the negro.
The girls story is that she was
alone in the house, getting dinner
for the family in the kitchen, when
Sims entered the kitchen, locked the
door and by force and violence com
mitted a criminal assault upon her.
After accomplishing his purpose he
left and as soon as she could do so
she rang the farm bell to bring Mr..
Williams to the house. She told her
story to him and he with other
neighbors finally located the hiding
place of Sims Thursday night. Yes
terday after securing the warrant he
left with Deputy Sheriff Jewell
Smith to make the arrest. AS the
locality is nearly twenty miles from
town, the arrest had not been re-
ported when we went to press.
Miss Smith is a poor but reputa-
BILE girl, and the crime has aroused a
good deal of feeling, though no very
great excitement seems to prevail.
There is no talk of mob law.

WRESTLING NEW STYLE IS
 TO BE USED OConnell Says He Will Beat Mon- tagni at His Own Game Roach and Winters Are Ready

Tonight down in Simonsville will be witnessed the first wrestling tour nament of the season and corking good one it will be. The preliminary will bring together Jack Roach of this city, ,- aud pddz lzzy Winters of Hartford for one hour at catch-as-catch-ca for a purse of $50. This will furnish a good appetizer for the big match that is to follow. Eddie O'Connell, for merly of New Haven, now a resident of this city will meet Louis Montagni. of Torrington, and this match will be contested under the Graeco- Roman rules. This will be an interesting match and will show the patrons of the game a new style of wrestling Montagni cIalmS-to be the champion in his class, but .O'conneli. while he has followed cntch-ns-catch-can in about all his matches. has a few sur prises up his sleeve for tlie Torring- ton chap. This match is for a $1O0 purse and fifty per cent of the gate receipts. Both of those contests will furnish some of the best sport ever seen down in the club and with only nominal prices for admission.

THE DIAM OND
WE WON A
 N :. GAME AT LAST
With No Hits to Our Credit We Still Take a Victory Norwich is
 Clinching the Pennant.

Y We can make record on the num-
 Der of straight defeats that have been
 administered to us and we can put a
 spike in that slippery toboggan by
 making another record, that is unique
 as well as remarkable. Waterbury
 did yesterday something that has ney-
 CT been accomplished in this league before and perhaps in no other league.
 Springfield was beaten in the first
 game of the double-header, although
 the locals did not get one little sem
 blance of hit off Bill Luby. And
 yet Bill Luby was in a great meas-
 ure responsible for the defeat of his
 team, for while he had the Prodigals
 tied fast to the home plate, where
 base hits were concerned, he gave
 seven of them free tickets to the first
 station and some of those were cost
 ly indeed. Our runs happened all
 like this, in that first contest Rice was given free pass in the very first Inning. He at once stole the second sack, took third on a sacrifice and came home with plenty of time to spare, when Swander hit opt a long fly to Robarge in right garden. who could not get it to the plate on time to nail Cooney. In the sixth Rice again got free pass, his third one of the game. He was sacrificed to second, took third on a tieIders choice and romped home with the sec ond and our only other run of the game, when O'Gonnor let a low drop get away from him. Eddie Hogarty was on the firing line for Waterbury and he allowed but six hits of his de livery. In tight places he was inyin- cible md pulled himself out of several bad holes. The only run scored by Springfield happened in the third in ming when Tansey started off with a single, stole second and came home on Flanngan's drive to the outfield In the last inning Hogarty struck put the first two men up, was hit safely by Crrtiss and then struck out Robarge ending the game. The score:

DRAKE TURNED LOOSE.
shortstop Disobeys Orders and Man.
 ager Disciplines Him,

shortstop Disobeys Orders and Man
 ager Disciplines Him.
 It looks as if Joe Keenan, better known to baseball fans as Muggsy Drake, Is through with the Spring. field baseball team. The parting of the ways came yesterday when Manager O'Neil decided that the ser vices of the sprightly shortstop are not as valuable as is discipline in the team and the player was turned adrift. He bade his friends fin the city goodbye and stated that he was off for Montreal.
 The slump the Ponies took fin the games against Bridgeport of late con vlnced the manager that there was laxity somewhere and he felt that there should not be an exception among the players in the matter of keeping In shape to give the best there Is in them until the pennant possessor is settled. He felt that he had done his share in the way of strengthening the team to point where it should win the bunting and when the game of Tuesday developed the fact that the team was not playing up to it's gait, he decided to find out the req son.
 Accordingly the manager ordered the men to be on hand at certain hour yesterday morning and he warn ed them that he would not tolerate any disobedience. When the appoint ed time came. Drake did not put in appearance and he was promptly laid on the shelf. Burns taking up the du- ties at shortstop yesterday. Drake told some of his friends he was go- Ing to Montreal. As Manager O'Nell did not return to the city last night. 1t could not be learned whether Drake had been released outright or suspend ed.
 Drake joined the Springfield team on the afternoon of July 4. coming here from the Northern league He was recommended to Manager O'Neil by Charles Clancy who was one of the string of pitchers employed by the present Springfield manager when Mfr O'Neil was at the helm for Holyoke in 1903. Drake has played snappy and at times brilliant ball for the Ponies and was big favorite with the public. He has been out of shape before and obliged to remain out of the game. Of late he has fallen off greatly in his hitting, though his field ing was clean cut as rule.

CLOSE FOR NORWICH.

Norwich. Sept 6.-Three errors and as many singles in the ninth inning yesterday gave New London two runs and three men on bases with but one out and only one run needed to tie the score, but O'ROurke was called out on strikes and Kennedy popped up to Lord, leaving Norwich the win ner, 6 to ,. The home team landed on Long for six hits in the fourth, three of them doubles. which, with two stolen bases, produced four runs. soffePs three-bagger, on which he scored from third on Blake's error, and foul fly caught by Golden were the features of the game. The score:

 Harry 0Hagan wns up to find ont who followed o'Hagan and then he ordered Mclaughlin to send O'Hagan fo first. filling the bases. Why he did this is a mystery. for Thackara followed and would have won the game if Steamer Flanagan had not made a great catch in left field.
 The talk in the New England league is to the effect that there will be an inter-league series with the first and second teams of the Connecticut and New England leagues as the contenders. worces- ter and Lynn would be the New England league entries with Nor vich and either Springfield or New Haven the strong probabilities from the Connecticut league Such a scheme was tried last season and did not meet with success. The public Is not greatly interested beyond the point of wanting to see a meeting of the champions In each league.
 Eastern league talk is being re- viyed in Springfield. but not by the man who has his money invested in the Connecticut league team. Dan O'Nell knows that he can draw just as big crowds with Connecticut league ball as he could with the Eastern leagre brand and he isn't giving up good thing for an un- certainty. Looked at from any angle league ball is sure to be a good investment for sprinxfeld and 1t would be folly to tackle the Eastern league again with its long and costly sumps- The affeadarce ngures are ample proof that the grade of ball being produced is highly satisfactory. - oDrinens11

BASE BALL TD-BITS.

| IHfgarrap Yes won. ,src | We made a record too. We couldn't hit the ball. but we
 could get the runs.
 George Bannon has signed a con. tract for next season with the Mon-
 treal club of the Eastern league. York and Williamsport have tied for the lead in the Tri-State league, each having won 67 and lost 50. Charles Frohman Fitzpatrick an,i Tim Hurst .I1ahey ought to double, pp and do vaudeville turn. Hoot Mon.
 The New York Americans will be
 handicapped in their great fight by the loss of Kid Elberfield, who has once more kicked himself out of the
 game.
 Jim O'Rourke has maintained all along that the Orators would not finish in last place and present in- dications are that the veteran will make good his boast.
 New Haven papers cannot see any thing to 1t but a record breaking crowd coupled with victory for the Prairie Hens to-day. Hess Is due to pitch for the Ponies.
 The Newark club of the Eastern league has filed notice of its inten- tion to exercise its option of re- purshasing Harry O'Hagan, of Wa terbury, and H. c. Bronkie. of Hart ford.
 Though Hartford is scheduled for a regular league game with Bridge port to-day. Hartford papers have it that the Manchester. Conn. team is to be fin Hartford for a game with the Senator's.
 The official bulletins of Secretary ]. II. Farrell of the national board give Tighe, Ball. Cote and Stevens of the Norwich team as non-reserved players and therefore not subject to the drafting laws.
 Warren Mclaughlin will never for get his last appearance in Waterbury this season. Some of the puns crack ed at his expense were So funny he had to laugh himself. although he was doing balloon ascension.

The second game proved a dlsaste,

The second game proved disaster. for the local team went to pieces and six errors were scored up against us Rice was the worst offender in this respect having half of the misplays Several times we had chances to score but we either hit the air or popped up easy ones to field. Treat was found when hits were needed by the visitors. In the seventh inning a bunch of frenzied rooters got after Pitcher Mclaughlin and sent that twlrler into the air. Three bases on balls. one of which forced in run. a double and single were made be- fore Treat famed out. ending the in- ming and we had scored two runs. Had Treat let the last ball he struck at go by. as it was a very bad one. another run might have been forced in as the bases were full. McLaugh- lin was satisfied when the inning was over for he certainly got great rat tling from that little bunch of ham, mer throwers. In the sixth and sev- enth Springfield found Treat enough times to score four runs and cllnch the game. The score:

Hartford, Sept 8,-Hartford and New Haven struggled for eleven in- ming yesterday and the game was anybody's from start to finish. Both pitchers were on their mettle and pulled out of number of tight places, but Rudolph lost his own game. He made q wild pitch in the first inning and bad throw in the final inning, which allowed Gastmey- CT to reach second on Justices hit. on which he should have been forced out.
