THE DIAMOND
THE FIRST ONES
Manager Durant Has Arranged Some Good Games For Open
 ing the Season.

Manager Durant expects to start of the baseball in this city with a rush. He proposes to give the people c0rking good baseball right from the very start, even before the regular season opens. It is impossible for him to accept the challenge of the Waterbury Independents because he has made other arrangements and the Independents must see this for themselves However he does not want to slight the local team and if they wish a game they can have one on either April IT or April 20, these dates being open. It will be up to the public now to make good to the men who have put their money into baseball in this city. You will get the best there is in the market and if you will only contribute your share of the market prices that is all the management asks. A glance over the schedule as arranged before the regular season opens will satisfy you that you are going to get the best to be found.
 The grounds will be opened on Friday, April 13, and here is chance for some of the writing punsters throughout the circuit to get in their funny sayings. Friday, April Is, and Good Friday" too, 1t requires a whole lot of confidence to open up on this date Will the day and the date hoodoo the team or will the old belief in Friday and 13 be hoodooed?
 At any rate the team that will open the season will be no hoodoo. Newark, the strong aggregation from the Eastern league, will be the first opponent of the local team. This team will also play the next day in this city. The Philadelphia Giants, the crack colored team of the coun- try will be here on April IS and 19. This 4-11-44 crowd is brought here to kill whatever hoodoo there might be hanging around that opening date. Saturday. April 21, the Bel monts, one of the best semi-profes- sional teams in New York state will be here. Monday, April 23, will come the Niagara university team. with the local boys who are attend ing the college in the lineup. On April 24, the Metropolitans, the crack semi-professional team of New York city, will be in attendance. April 25, the Yale team appears here to try and take fall out of the locals. That will hold the public for a while and before the season opens other dates may be filled up.

 The police and proprietors will certainly have a difficult time in de- termining those who are not twenty one years of age In order to send them out of pool rooms and bowling alleys at 10 o'clock Perhaps the followers of the games will get to- gether and send a petition to the aldermen 10 persuade that body not to pass the proposed law.

BASEBALL NOTES.

If the City Amateur league is to furnish the preliminary games at the State league exhibition ona Sum day perhaps the owner of he Water bury team will offer cup for the winning nine in the amateur rank. In the opinion of many the trolley company could also help some by throwing few dollars into the treasury of the local boys.
 Bill Dwyer and John Moran should make a corking good battery for the Niagara boys the coming season. The other Waterbury boys at the institu- tion may also be heard from.
 J. H., Fahey of Easthampton has been accepted as an umpire in the New York State league. Fahey served in the Connecticut circuit last year and showed ability to ward on trouble. He usually refused to work when the teams got too testy and thereby earned praise for his thoughtful avoidance of chances for trouble.
 William F. Carrigan, the clever Holy Cross college catcher, is con sidering several offers to play pro- fessional baseball. Manager Fred Lake of the New England league club, which is to be re-established fin Lowell this season, wants to have Carrigan report in this city. The youngster is from Lewiston. Me. and was better than 300 hitter last season.
 The Connecticut league umpiring stan will have some ex-players in its ranks If applications are not turned aside. Mike Sullivan of Thompson vile, well known as an outfielder. visited in Springfield yesterday and announced that his name had been forwarded to Supervisor John Ken nedy. rrG
 Will O'Neil, son of Dan O'Neil, the Springfield Baseball club owner, is now employed in New York. Last year Will acted as treasurer of the baseball club and won friends among the players and public. He is en- gagged in the supply department of big contracting firm and will be out of baseball. probably for all time.
 Cy Young. "0ld Battle-Ax," has signed with wilkesbarre. He has gone to Mount Clements, Mich. with Mike Roach of the Binehamtons and Billy 0'Ha-a of the Baltimores. These players who are well known here will work together at the health re- sort and get into shape for the com ing season.

OLD JOHN L.

Poor old John L. Sullivan, who is touring the Western towns, is making this daily stereotyped statement to the newspapers: T will give $1,000 to any man that cannot stop in four rounds, providing he weighs as much as f.'do. First come, first served. The bigger they are the bet ter will like it, and the heavier they are the harder the fall. I feel better to-day than I have in twenty five years, and while do not say that I can whip any man living I do say that nobody of my weght can whip me in ten rounds. I am mak- ing farewell tour of the world and am going to take advantage of my present good condition to make hay while the sun shines" Sullivan tips the beam at 300 pounds.

BE SQUARE TO PUBLIC.
It Pays to Act in Good Faith With
 Lovers of Sports.

San Francisco. or rather Califor- aia. has received something of a black eye in sporting matters this winter. Turf scandals and alleged crooked fights have caused sporting men in various parts of the count--- to sit up and take notice. The ex- posture of the Gans-Britt mill, the charges of fraud following the Hart Burns affair, the ugly rumors rcla- tive to the Fitz-0 'Brien battle. the ruling off of Dick Williams for the alleged doping of Arraeowan and the suspension of Boots Durnell and John ]. McCeferty. convicted of in- duizing in fraudulent turf practices ct Los Angeles. are some Of the things that have attracted attention. There have been other queer sport ing incidents on the coast in these lines. but nothing like the FIts- sharkey-wyaft-Earp fake and the WaIcotf-Lavfgne sell-out- Yet the game goes on right merrily and the public apparently believes In 1t im- plicitly.

BOB STONE WON.
Beat Horan in Southington Last
 Night in a Fast Game.

Bob Stone, of this city, added laurels to his pool playing ability last night by defeating Horan in his own bailiwick by score of 154 to 121. Horan started on the game with a rush and when the time for intermission came he had S6 to Stones so. It looked like a victory for the Southington man for he cleaned the table five times. When play was resumed Stone had got his nerve and he put in thirty straight balls, while Horan simply looked on. This put the Waterbury player in the lead and he kept it to the end. A big crowd went over from here to see the game. John Hendricks, the we'll known billiard player, was the referee. A return game will be played in the Wooster parlors next Tuesday night. Horan is now lead ing the tournament which is being given in Hartford.

CANS AND HERMAN.

Finding that he cannot secure a match with Nelson, Britt or Herrera, Joe Cans has practically consented to fight Kid Herman at Los Angeles next month for the lightweight championship. Herman put up $1,- 900 forfeit for such mill some time ago and Cans now says he will ac- cept. It looks like easy money for the Baltimore boxer, who on form outclasses the boys for the Windy City.

THE PUGlLlSTS.
 WHO WILL WIN
Sports in This City Much Interested in Outcome of McGovern
 and Nelson Fight.

Although there is no decision to be rendered in the coming fight in Phil adelphia between McGovern and Nel- son. Still there are q goodly number of wHgefs being made ill this city on whether or not there will be knock out. Several bets have already been made at two to one that McGoyern will not knock out the Battling One, and the admirers of Terry have taken these odds quickly. Many are also betting even money that the bout will not go the limit, thinking that some one of the fighters will land blow that will do the business before the end of the battle.
 The promoters of the National A. C.. last night announced that there had already been sold over $10,0O0 worth of tickets at $5 and $1O each.
 Battling Nelson at o'clock yester- day afternoon weighed 131 pounds. The weight, 133 pounds at the ring side. Nolan says, will be easy and means practically catch weights for the Dane.
 Nelson is advising his friends to bet their money on him. The news that 1Oung COrDetL nus plckeu ulll tO VIII on a knockout greatly pleases Nelson.
 CHARITY OF SPORTS.
 Just before the Neil-Tenny fight in Frisco last week the master of ceremonies in the Mechanics Pavil- ion made an appeal to the crowd on behalf of the widow and orphans of man who was drowned in the Va lencia wreck. Mike (Twin) Sulli- van, Eddie Hanlon, Sam Berger, Al Kaufmann and other boxers, were sent around to collect the money, which was later placed upon the floor of the ring to be counted. More than $500 was subscribed, which was another illustration of the char ity of the sporting element.
