THE DIAMOND
NO GAME FOR THE PRoDIGALs
 YESTERDAY.
Bridgeport Was Too Cold While Other Cities Carried Out
 Schedule.

Hartford. May 11.-Back to the Rubber Works for Matty Lothrop, the simple life at Forestvllle for Pete Wilson, that's all. This tells in a nut shell the experience of the two young twirlers who were sent out to do battle for Holyoke and Hartford, re- spectively at the local park yester. day afternoon. The youngsters ran into the greatest swatfest seen here this season. The change of premiers brought out Volz for Holyoke and Walsh for Hartford. Walsh was anx- ious to pitch early in the afternoon because it<was dark. He thought the Holyokers couldn't see his speed for the clouds. Volz has been getting trimmed regularly around the circuit but he was all to the merry yesterday and he had the Hartford hitters beg ging for mercy. Volz ought to change his name to Volts for he is either surcharged with electricity or he has got the hypnotic eye.
 It looked like killing at the onset. with Hartford carrying light weight and Holyoke 40 to shot. Billy 1uyster gave a taste of what was coming in the first inning by hitting the ball SO hard that he took all the shape out Of it. It was not until the third inning that the Hartfords fell on Lothrop and then he got It in al- lopathis doses. There was a wicked gleam in Old Sleuth Fleming's eye when he yanked Matty out of the box and put in Volz. Wilson was being backed up with the fastest kind of play, the rapid Hartford infield pull. ing off double plays so fast that the Holyokes were retired before. they got set.
 Pete Wilson was smiling and fan cied that fourth victory for him would be chalked upon the official board. He had vision of the fans in Fonestville gathered around the viii lage store and reading the returns from the park. There is half-tone picture of Pete out there and the re- suits of his victories are written un- deneath. Now. there is darker side to the picture and Mir Pete got his in. tial walloping in the fifth and sixth rounds. Four runs were made in each and then Martin Walsh was called out to save the game. He did his part but the efforts of the Hartford hats men to do anything to volz were in- fantiIe.

 TERRY M'G0vERN.

Terry McGovern is lost again. Any information concerning him will be gladly received by his brother, Hughey, or his manager, Joe Hum phreys.
 Terry was last seen yesterday morning in Broadway. Then he dis appeared and could not be found after a prolonged search by his, brother and Humphreys. He was billed to appear at the Grand opera house in Brooklyn where he was rc have boxed three rounds with Hughey, but when the audience was beginning to get impatient, HIn. phreys announced from the stage that the Twentieth Century club had notified McGovern that he would not be permitted to box in public prior to his three round bout with Jimmy Britt before that club on May 2S.
 The audience in the Grand opera house did not receive the explanation of Humphreys with favor and de- manded that McGoyern show himself This of course was impossible.

The American Team Went Down to Ignominious Defeat on the
 Casino Alleys.

"Aw. Lahey. come on, or we won t have any show. Pipe. can't you do better than that?" "Oh, Wright, but you certainly are the poorest ever." Such were the comments of Captain Harold Cross of the Ameri- can bowling team as his pets were being walloped on the Casino alleys yesterday afternoon by their demo- cratic brethren. In the long await ed duckpin match the Democrat team walked home winner by the sum of 5S pins. which is considered large. The winners could have made the score a little larger, but had little mercy as Cross asked that his five not be made show of.
 Lahey. Cross. Johnson. Dawson and Wright entered the Casino alt leys promptly at 4:30. With them was French as substitute. Captain Hayden was there with his warriors and confident of winning.
 The captains were called together by Fred Drueh1, who acted as scorer, and the game started On the first ball Captain Hayden of The" team made strike and from that on there was nothing to it. The American "would-be" bowlers did not know what to make of 1t. Cross almost threw fit and Piper Johnson sat up to take notice. It was so easy that 1t was a shame to do 1t. Lahey got 30 disgusted with the way he and his men were bowling that af- ter he bowled two strings he skid5 dooed and sub was put in his place.
 After the game Captain Cross asked for another chance, which will be given to him. The Democrat five is open to meet any newspaper team in the city. The scores follow:
