1kR. BLAKEY ENTERTAINs.
Manager Of Piano Establishment Gives
 Dinner To Employees.

Dinner To Employees.
 With E. E. Forbes at one end and R. o. Blakey at the other end of beauti- fully spread table, twenty odd em- ployes of the Montgomery establish . ment of the E. E. Forbes Piano Com pany were entertained at a dinner given at Yung's restaurant yesterday evening, dinner that was delightfully."- informal and where good fellowship reigned until a late hour.
 The dinner was given by Manager R. O. Blakey to his staff of men and President Forbes. who resides now in Birmingham, was tho guest of honor MT Blakey presided and throughout the evening MT, Forbes and the popular manager of the Montgomery business of the firm were the toasts.
 A delicious five course dinner was served and when the coffee and cigars were brought in numerous happy speeches were made and the uniniated ones present learned many things about the piano business.
 Urged by his employees, MT. Forbes told the story of his business career, a narrative that began with the hard ships of poverty on a Calhoun county plantation and ended as president of an enormous business. a business which requires an army of men and six or eight big stores in the leading cities of Alabama. The young men present were so inspired by the story of suc- cess told by the president of their company in simple but direct business like fashion, that they cheered him heartily.
 Those who sat around the table and participated in the speechmaking were: E. E. Forbes. R. O. Blakey, A. S. Mills, Andrew Carlson. W. F. Harris, A. D. Johnson, N. H. Holland. c. R. Hancock W. c. Rozelle, R. J. Miles. D. A. May W. A. Autrey, R. S. Gull ledge, Dewitt Roberts, George K. h. gram, N. N. shippey. s. A Ooster- haut, B. c. Rigell. T. s. Thweatt, A. c. Davis H A. Manning. E. F.

BIG FELLOWS TO GET TOGETHER

Perelli and Muller May Meet Soon to
 Decide a Champion

Springfield, April 21-A wrestling match between Max Muller and John Perelli, the Italian champion, is like. ly to be pulled of in this city within a couple of weeks, Muller having ex- pressed a desire to go against tile Italian champion here. Writing from New York. the German says he wants another chance at Jim Barnes and that he would also like meeting with Perelli. As the present whereabouts of Barnes are not known here Perelli will be given an opportunity to take up Muller's def.
 In two matches with Barnes wrest- led here. Muller broke even. winning the first and being beaten in the sec. ond. Now he says he was not ill proper shope and that he undersh. mated Barnes. He claims he had been doing some hard travelling and that he was suffering from cold when he performed in Springfield last. Those who saw him against Barnes say he should make splendid match for Perelli.
 H. r. Hensen of Perth Ambog. x. J.. is also after q meeting with Barnes. He says he has reard so much about the prowess of the Springfield favor ite. and would like to sec what Barnes could do against a good man. The modesty of Mr Hansen in this state ment is so noticeable for it's absence that there is desire to give him a chance to see what he himself could do against real good man and Barnes may be matched against him when Jim returns to Springfield.

COLLETT ROLLS sOo.
New Haven Boy Bowls a Perfect g. Score at Johnson's Alleys.

New Haven, April 21.-George Collett, the old professional bicycle rider and one of New Haven's pre- mier bowlers, rolled twelve strings on Johnson's alleys yesterday after noon, making the same number of strikes without miss, securing a perfect bowling score of 300, some thing that has never been done be- fore in this state on regulation bowl ing alleys.
 Collett is the sixth person in the United States who has ever been known to roll 300. He used IS F. pound ball and bowls a pretty straight arm stroke. This big score was made in an exhibition match with Leon Swift and Dutch" Weber. The scorer was Dan Driscoll The alleys were crowded when the match was being rolled and this mark is vouched for by dozen or more spec tators. The record for Johnson's all leys previous to yesterday afternoon was 2S0. scored by Weber. Propri- etor Johnson gave Collett $50 after the latter had made the big score. this standing offer for this mark.

THE DIAMOND
INDEPENDENTS PUT UP A GOOD
 GAME.
Cy Voorhees, Had the Goods. How. ever. and Won the Victory
 Other Games

One of the strongest semi-nrofes. sional teams in the state went nm agalnst the Waterburys yesterday, when Eddie Curley's Independents ] tfied to take fall out of Harry Durants bunch. All good fielders and stickers, there was good chance Tor them to win out in that game, put they were denied the pleasure. " poorhees was on the firing line Tor the Waterbury team and he sim ply toyed with the Curleyites after the first inning. The majority of tle 60O rooters present were out for the independents and the way they ham, mered the Waterburys with those busy tongues Of theirs was a caution. ] umpire Dave Hill came in for his snare, too. The hitting on both sides was not strong because the twirlcrs were out to win at any hazard. 1 Tad Quinn of Torrington was on the slab for the Independents and he certainly did throw a scare into the Durant players.
 Waterbury scored her runs n the thlrd, fourth and seventh innings. nome run that had plenty of the horseshoe flavor about it happened Tn the fourth inning, when Kid Sher- wood sent the ball to deep righ. field and it went through q hole under the 1 renee. Errors were responsible for llne only run made by the [ndeDen- dents and the most costly one fell 10 the lot of Arthur Nichols himself. when he dropped the thrown bali in the eighth inning and let in tha. only score. Altogether 1t was good game to watch and was really bat tie of the pitchers. The score:

 Voorhees, was there with the goods. Johnny Moran on the slab for Nj agara on Monday.
 Parry Thackera was lucky yester- day in getting to first base. but he is not c sprinter in getting to second.
 Tad" Quinn signed to pitch for Durant a month ago. Wonder if Eddie Curley was aware of the fact? Quinn was instructed to go in and pitch the game of his life and beat Waterbury if he could.
 With Johnny Moran pitching and Bill Dwyer playing in the outfeld for Niagara university on Monday. the fans will be there to give the boys a hand There are many who believe that young Moran will do things to the Waterbury crowd.
 There is one good thing about these practice games" said a fan yesterday. there were no dub teams brought here to try out the local bunch. All were good ones and the Durant players were forced to hump themselves right from the very start. 1t was good managerial judgment.
 That team cf Independents. made ap as they were yesterday. ought io he able to trim any se.ni-profeSSioRai team in New England. That was a pretty strong combination in every way and there were a whole lot of people who believed that Waterbury woEid be defeated.

JOE PLAYED WELL.

Springfield, April 1.-Yesterlay's game against Montreal left the Ponies with a lot of good things stored up for the Saturday crowd to-day. They evidently didn't intend to waste any ambition on the meager guard that came out to see them in their first turn against the Canucks, and they ought to turn loose crop of the real article this afternoon. In a listIcss ex- hibltion the visiting tribe won by a 2 to 1 score.
 After the holiday effort against the Newark team almost every member Of the herd acted as if some one had put dope in the feed bag. Three sharp double plays helped to relieves the monotony. as did some fast work by ed by the return to the scenes of iiis baseball childhood.

 no opportunity of his injuring himself In any way. The two things that de-
 eide either success or failure In the
 standing jumps is the perfect fiexibili-
 ty of the body and as near a perfect
 nervous system as is obtainable. With
 out the utmost fexibillty in every

 never jump. And likewise without a
 perfect control of his nerves he can
 never hope to jump higher or farther
 than any other man. To secure The
 first of these two essentials I advise
 every boy to practice long and faith

 not attempt to use heavy weights or to
 indulge in strenuous sports that will
 give plenty of muscle but little fexi-
 bility. myself find that every time
 I branch out from my own line loss
 some of my fexibility and fail to equal
 my previous marks. Neither can a
 man attain success In inc standing high or broad jump and al the same time excel in the running jumps. In the runs there is less need of nervous energy than in the standing jumps. To obtain complete control Of your nerves Is probably the hardest thin~ an ath- lste and especially one who Is training for the standing jumps. has to do. In the first place he must avoid all fu- toxicsnfs. tobacco and anything that might unfavorably affect his digestion.
