THE DIAM ON D
THE PENNANT
 IS SLIPPING.
The Prodigals Beaten By the HoL
 yokes- Norwich i. Jumping Ahead.

Holyoke, Aug 1.-The Champs put up the real article of ball yesterday afternoon and strictly on their own merits defeated Waterbury 4 to. |.
 Jacob Pierpont was on the rubber for the first time since he banged his ribs against third base nearly three weeks ago. He was in great form, and held Durant's brigade to five hits. Two of these were punched in the seventh and being immediately preceded by base on balls were the means of scoring Waterbury's lone run. Volz also helped with the stick, sending slashing double into left field in the final inning.
 There is one thing about the Champs. Whether they win or lose they are generally good for volley of hits in the last few innings. They landed on Lefty Rogers yesterday in the sixth, seventh and eighth, and clinched the game, for the Waterbury men could not find Volz. lazy Hoff- man led with the stick, getting three hits in four times up. One was a scratchy hit, which bounded away from Rogers's glove, but the other two were clean hits to the outfield, one of which was good for an extra base.
 Mike McAndrews marred the con- test with the only error of the after noon, but he was there with the goods for all that and made two fine stops. Walsh made pretty stop of Lepine's hit in the seventh, but did not have time to field the ball. Volz scooped upNa slow grounder with one hand while on the run, but the star play of the day was reserved for Tom Dowd. It was in the first inning that Dowd posed as a star A free pass to McAndrews, and hit to left by McCabe, followed by Swander's sac rifice, had put men on second and third with one down. Nichols sent a long fly to left and Tom backed all most against the fence He reached in the air for the ball and bumped against the fence in recovering him |sef. McAndrews and McCabe got away without delay, and Dowd, by a perfect throw, nailed McCabe at third for the last out of the inning. The score:

THEAMATEURS
LONG SESSION
 OF CITY LEAGUE
Differences Between League and Waterbury Team-The Shop
 League Schedule.

The City Amateur league held a very important meeting last evening and 1t was approachipg the hour of
 p'clock when thes businpeseSns concluded. The question of the rela- tions between the City league and the Waterbury Baseball association caused q long discussion. The league had verbal agreement that if the Waterbury State league team would play two professional games in a month the City league could have all the other Sundays in that month free of expense. Last Sunday this agree ment was not lived up to and the con- sequences were that very mad bunch of managers discussed the point last evening and instructed the secretary to notify the baseball cor poration that the agreement entered into by the league and the manager of the Waterbury team had been vio- lated and there was quite a little sum of money due the league.
 Another point that came under dis. cussion was the calling of the Pas time and St Joseph game last Sum day by Umpire Mcdonald. Manager Guilfoile of the St Joseph team pro tested that the umpire did not have the right to call that game, for the reason that he gave on the grounds, namely that the game was becoming farcical. In this contention he was upheld. The president stated that Umpire Mcdonald reported officially to him that he had called the game on account of darkness. It was sug- gested that the umpire file written ofiicial report. but the matter was finally dropped and the game allowed to stand on the report made to the president.
 The president was instructed to acquaint the umpires of the rule gov- erning the stopping of games at the prescribed hour. The umpires. there fore, will bear in mind the follow ing: The first game Is supposed to start at 12:30. That game should be called at fifteen minutes past 2. If. however. an inning is being played when the quarter past 2 arrives. that inning must be played out. A team can take the field ready to play an- other inning at one minute before the quarter past 2 and If the men are in their position ready to play that in- ming must be played. But no inning can begin after the quarter past 2 hour has arrived. The second game must be called at o'clock and the same rules relative to an inning be- ing played out or an inning being begun will hold in this case. too. No inning can be begun after the hour for stopping and no matter how many Innings are played. whether one or nine the game must cease. unless the teams are playing an Inning. which must be finished out.
 The schedule arranged for next Sunday Is as follows: The first game st l7:s0 will see the Pastimes ana the Merrimacs battling with each other. The second game will find the Washington Hills and the St Josephs pifted against each other. The final game vir bring together the Brook lyns and the North Ends. The first game will be umpired by Eddie Me- Donald and the two last games VII find Denny Lahey holding the indi- cator. The games Sunday will close the seconi series for some of the teams

MGINNITY WILL APPEAL.
Thinks Pulliam's Decision Unfair t<
 Him-O'Day Has Q Grievance.

Harry Puiliam. president of the National league. yesterday announced the judgment of the court in the matter of the fight in Pittsburg last week between Joe McGinnity of the New Yorks and Heine Peitz of the Pirates. McGinnity is fined $100 and suspended for ten days. Peitz is fined $50 and suspended for five days. and Umpire Hank O'Day, who officiated in the game in which the fight occurred, is fined $50. Presi- dent Pulliam thinks O'Day did not do his duty in trying to prevent the hos tilities. At least two of those who have incurred punishment from the leagues chief executive declare they have been treated unfairly. McGin- nifty said yesterday that he would make an appeal to the league board of directors. He can go ahead and pay the fine assessed and yet make his appeal. He thinks his punish ment unjust. ''I lose about $500," he said yesterday. flor being a man"
 Immediately following the an- nouncement Umpire O'Day protested bitterly to President Pulliam for being fined in connection with the matter. and ended by delivering the ultimatum that he would quit rather than pay the amount.
 'I will quit my job before pay it," declared O'Day.
 You will quit your job if you don't pay it," answered back the league official. You are assigned to the Polo grounds this afternoon, and If you are mot on duty I will bring the matter to the attention of the National commission and have you barred from professional base ball"
 O'Day walked out of Pulliam's of flee and that was the last seen of him. He failed to report at the park and Klem umpired alone.
 Section 5s of the rules is to the ef- feet that an umpire must not allow coaching which is objectionable. President Pulliam declares that the language used by Pietz was offensive, and that 0'Day should not have per- mitted if. This language. it is al- legged. brought on the fight between McGinnity and Pietz. and led to one of the most disgraceful scenes that ever occurred on a base ball field
 In the event of O'Day's case being brought before the National commis- sion the umpire will stand but little chance. as this body Is composed of President Pullism. his close friend. Garry Hermann. and Ban Johnson of the American league. O'Day will be given until this afternoon to re- consider his determination to fight the fine. and then. if he does not re- port. he viIi stand suspended and fin the same position as a player who jumps his contract

THEY CAME TO BLOWS.
Well Known Citizens Have a Fight Over
Their Candidates.

Two esteemed citizens of Sails
barry, T.. II. Vanderford, ST., and
and II. G. St. Clair, did the pu-
gi1lstic act IN great style on last
Wednesday night, at the Hotel
V~anderford.
A heated discussion over the
merits of Mr.. Hackett and it end
ed in gore, rich, red gore, beng
shed.
Mr.. St. Clair is of the Repub-
lican camp and is al ardent ad-
m;rer of that political misfit Mr..
Blackburn. Mr.. Nanderford is
chairman of the Democratic Con-
gresslonal Committee, and s. warm
friend of MI. Hackett as we'll.
Mr.. St. Clair had been to China
Grove that afternoon with Black
burn, and at the time of the bat
tie is said to have been talking
somewhat roughly of Hackett,
making serious charges against
him, and also applying eplthets
of an insulting character tn him,
It is further averred that Mr.. St.
Clair strongly intimated that Mr..
Hackett's grandsire was chained
in a kennel and had to watch the
front yard. Mr.. Vanderford, who
was outside, heard all this, and
walking into the hotel, asked St.
Clair if he would make those
charges in the presence of Hack
cit, and he said he would. Words
became more and more heated,
and it was not long until the two
were making desperate efforts to
alter the countenances OF each
other.
There are different stories as
to who fired the first volley in the
scrinmage, and we would not
lacsrate the feelings of either gen.
tleman by saying he got the worst
of the encounter.
