BASEBALL NOTES.

9' Boston papers are almost unit in saying that the Boston Nationals have captured first class player in 1zzy Hoffman. Izzy is showing himself q fine run getter.
 It seems queer to figure Claud Ross mah as an aggressor in a fight. When he was Connecticut leaguer, Claud was a mild hammered youth, but, the present race would raise nipples in, an angels temper. - .~. :. ... ,-.,
 lazy Hoffman is managing to hit freely in the National league and thus far has a batting average of .214, rank ing next to Beaumont on the Boston team Beaumont's figures ore .317. Hoffman brings up the rear ir fielding with an average of .S13.
 Herbert Clark of Holyoke, the form CT Ludlow pitcher in the Bi-Slatei league, has been reserved by the Law renee team of the New England league. Clark, who is working at the Bemis & Call factory again, did good work for Lawrence toward the close of the season.
 Though the Brooklyn papers keep figuring on Jack Hess of Springfield as a recruit for next season, Manager O'Neil of Springfield has received na notice of such a draft and hasn't heard, any noise like money from tho | direction of Brooklyn.
 Fielder Jones of the Sox says " Cobb of Detroit is the most valuable | player of the season and that Frank 1 Isbell is a better all around player than Hans Wagner. But if it came to trade talk it's a good wager that Pittsburg wouldn't trade Wagner for Cobb even if Isbell were thrown in as good measure.
 Pat .Flaherty is firmly convinced that if the Athletics win the American league championship their left hand pitchers, Plank and Waddell. will beat the Cubs in the worlds series. Those two men," says Flaherty. ''are the best southpaws in the business. Edo not claim to be as good as either one, and I know that the Cubs cant hit me when I am right. So what chance have they against Rube and Eddie?
 New names for Boston teams are springing up all the time. The latest was perpetrated by Phelon of the Chi cago Journal, who styled the Nationals the Lentils Phelon says of Hoffman, thenew outfielder: Hoffman. the Hol- yoke youngster playing for Boston, may blow up, of course, but looks like q wonder as far as he has gone. He can hit, he can run, he can field, and is a splendid thrower. His actions on the bases are those of an old cam paigner and he seems to have almost nothing to learn in any section of tie game"

 TOMORROW NIGHT
Harry Drinkwater and Louis Mon.
 tague to Meet Down in ..
 D. i.-. g, '- ~s ..s.. ~.,, Simonsville. ..,.l

The wrestling season will open to- morrow evening down in the Simons- vile Athletic club where Manager Joe Lawlor has arranged card that will satisfy all the lovers of that game. The main contest will bring together Harry Drinkwater, the champion middleweight of the country and Louis Montague, the champion ltal- ian middleweight. Both men have been? Eraining faithfully for weeks
 and if the fans love grueling con- test they will see one tomorrow night. The match is for $l00 purse and fifty per cent of the gross re- ceipts, the winner to take everything. Montague will be remembered us the man that was to have wrestled Ed O'Connell here last winter, but the night of the match there was a dis pute as to the purse and everything was called off. Drinkwater says he will make monkey of Montague and the latter says there will not be enough left of Drinkwater when he gets through to make even drop of water There will be one good pre- liminary and the bill is the best one that has ever started off the wrestl- ing season. =.

ANOTHER FAMOUS SERIES.
When the Baltimores and Bostons
 Fought It Out.

It is no new thing in baseball his tory for championship to hinge on the closing games of the season and there have been times when the own- ership of a pennant was not settled until the very last day. However, con- tests like the present, where the teams fighting for the pennant come together in a series so near the ring ing of the bell are not common.
 There was a similar situation ten years ago, which Manager Hugh Jen- nings of the Detroits and Third Base man Collins of the Athletics we'll re- members. Jennings was then short stop of the famous Baltimores, man aged by Hanlon, and Baltimore was one of the competing teams fighting for the pennant, Boston managed by Selee; being the other. l
 It was September "A, 25 and 27, 1897, Friday, Saturday and Monday, that the two teams met on Baltimore territory, Boston being in second place, but only one point behind Bal timore. The first game was won by the Beaneaters, who by virtue of the victory, went into first place. Nichols pitched for the winners and Bergen who later killed himself and his family, caught him. Corbett pitched the greater part of the game. but was forced to retire about the seventh in- ming. Robinson was his catcher. The score was to 4.
 The second game was won by Bal timore, 6 to 3, and the Marylanders were again on top. Everybody felt that the championship depended up- on the third game of the series, al- though Boston had another series with Brooklyn and Baltimore one with Washington, closing the season. Nichols again appeared for Boston and Corbett for Baltimore. The lat ter was injured early in the game and retired before the contest was over. Hanlon had four pitchers in the box. Boston won an uphill game, 19 to 10. making nine runs in one inning. The contest was witnessed | by 25.000 people, an unusual figure for those days. As expected. the win ner of the series, proved to be the winner of the championship.
 The teams were remarkable ones without a weak spot. The infield: were made up of Penney. Lowe, Long and Collins for Boston; and Doyle Reitz, Jennings and McGTaw for Bal timore. Baltimore had Kelley. Sten gel and Keeler in the outfield and tho Boston outfield was made up of Duffy Hamilton and Stahl. The last named like his team mate. Bergen, killed himself. Practically all of the mer of both ,eams.outside of the batteries were in the 300 class at the bat This was before the foul strike Tuli and Hamilton. Keeler. McGraw ant others were experts in fOuling of tht good ones and waiting for enougi bad ones to get passed to first Ham iIton was one of the great base run ners of baseball and Long and Jen things have probably had no superior at shortfeld. while Collins and Ten nev were at their best at that time Catcher Robinson was a tower O strength behind the bat for Balti Imore and Bergen. cratic as he va

WORLDS WALKING RECORD.
Knocks 20 Minutes iG Sec. onds Of Old Mark for 23H Miles.

T. E. Hammond, the great Eng fish road walker, took another fall out of Father Time recently by set ting up new figures for 23h miles. The event where Hammond figured was a yacht handicap given by the Middlesex Walking club, and it at tracted the best road walkists in England and the Surrey crack not only won from scratch but beat the former mark by 20 minutes 46 sec onds, and throughout the journey it is said moved in a fine free heel and toe style.
 The course was a circular one and extended from the Green Man. West Ealing, to roads in the vicinity of Harrow and Is very hilIy. which makes Hammond's time all the more meritorious. There were twenty three starters and all but thiee fin- ished and no less than seven beat the old record of 3 hours 4s minutes made some time ago by F. J Jacob.
 Hammond and A. R. Edwards. MiddIesex. his most dangerous rival, were on scratch and from the start the Surrey man led. At five miles he began to draw away and when half the distance had been covered he was leading by 2 minutes and still further improved his position every step to the finish.
 J. R. Barnes Moss, the veteran, eompleted the course.

 Rice May Be Barred.

Louis Cronan is out and refuses to be sick longer. He is hot after foot ball, but may not take part in the game next Sunday when Thomaston comes here He will have lineup, however, that will make any team hustle to keep up the pace and he believes there is no team in the, state or in New England can give them a trimming. Cooney Rice willSnot. play with the All-Waterburys in all prob ability. Louis said Cooney wanted the earth to get into the game but ,Cooney was told that Francis Hcff- man could give Cooney cards and spades and a beating and Hoffman was taking his chances with the rest of the boys on an even deal all around. There are no favorites on the team and the money will all be divided up equally.

New Haven, Oct 2.-In anticipation of the opening game of the season the Yale candidates went through a forty-five minute scrimmage yester- day afternoon. F. G. Burke, fullback, was tried at left end on the varsity, where he made good and it is believed will remain for the present. Almost at the opening of the practice Tad Jones caught punt and carried it back twenty five yards. After this by, hard line plunging the varsity forced the college team back to it's , yard line. Here the varsity was held for downs and Philbin, fuilback on the college team, attempted to punt. This was blocked by Goebel, and Bradley fell on the ball behind the line, scoring safety for the varsity. After this neither side seemed able to. score, f. the lines strengthened and the teams surged up and down the gridiron.

Cambridge, Oct 2.-Harvard had a long practice yesterday afternoon in preparation for the Bowdoin game. Burr and Newhall were worked for q long time at bunting to the backs, and Newhall, who has not been used much at kicking, got off several fifty five yard punts, which were better than anything that has been seen on Soldiers field this year. The prac- tice was in the stadium on the var sity gridiron, which has not been used up to now. The first team was put through some hard scrimmage work against the second and scored once on a long run through tackle by Appollonio.

Princeton, Oct 2.-Photographers swarmed on University field yester- day afternoon taking snapshots of all the prominent Tigers, individual ly and ensemble. but more unfor- tunate day could not have been se- lected, for the Tigers were out of sorts and played the raggedest kind of football despite the perfect weather conditions. Two fifteen minute halves of scrimmage were lndulged, with only one touchdown fO: the varsity, and that after a terrific struggle against the scrub line. There was a fair amount of kicking and the for ward pass came in for its share of usefulness a couple of times, though neither side worked these stunts con- .sistently.
