We'll have a show on the home grounds

the event. While President Hayden has
kept within the salary limit, he has a
team that will compare favorably with
any team in the circuit, and by the
showing it made on the trip it is un-

Yesterdays game with Leavenworth
was certainly a hard luck game. The
only hits secured by LeaVenworth were
three singles which came in the second
inning off Forester together with a
pass. Jones went in with only one out
in the second and held the Convicts
without a safe hit during the balance
of the game. Topeka got three doubles
and a triple and yet were unable to
score Out of three times at bat, Jones
secured a double and a triple.

Jimmy Prick, the former star third
baseman of the Western Association,
Is with Toronto in the eastern league
again this season where he is playing
a great game. He is being used at
short this season and leads the team in
fielding besides putting up a great
game at the bat. He Is getting a hit
in nearly every game
Page, who is pitching for Oklahoma
City this season, comes from Okla
horna university at Norman. just south
of Oklahoma City. He has worked in
only one game so far this season and
won that one from Shaner of Webb
City.
Dick Cooley is laying off for few
days on the Louisville team. In a re-
cent game at Milwaukee the little
finger on his left hand was broken by
a singing grounder and he is compell-

member is healed
After all that has been said and done
by the press of the Western Associa-
ton in regard to the playing abilities
OF last years stars, the fact remains
that there are only three graduates
into the big leagues who made good.
Willett is sticking with Detroit, al
though he is losing nearly every game

ANNAPOLIS PROBLEM
Conference at Academy on Conditions

Conference at Academy on Conditions
 Surrounding Young Men.
 Annapolis, Md, Aug. 22.-The recent report to the naval authorities by the Wainwright board on conditions sur rounding candidates for the naval aca- demy and midshipmen while in Annap- oils was the subject of conference be- tween Mayor Gordon F. Claude, of An napolis, and Supt c, J. Badger, of the academy to-day. Plans were then made for a closer cooperation between the naval and city authorities in an effort to break up certain practices which were referred to. Captain Bad ger deprecated the idea that the Vain wright report had intended any direct reflection on the morals of Annapolis or Annapolitans and expressed the view that conditions here were as good if not better than in most of the col lege and university towns of the coun- try. He said. however, that certain places in Annapolis, were understood " pClHilt tAlO sdlo uL 1lQuOE IO Hllu~ shipment as well as candidates or allow these youths to rent rooms and send our for such liquid refreshments as they desired. The authorities will work together in an effort to break up this habit.
 Another topic of the conference was the "after-theater" parties given by midshipmen and candidates, which were attended by female members of the chorus of certain theatrical com panies, The academy and municipal officials will unite in efforts to eliri- nate this practice.
 Still another matter of importance taken up was that of the conduct of candidates while in Annapolis attend- ing preparatory schools Superintend- ent Badger said that hereafter where he learned, officially or otherwise, of habitual disorder, too frequent use of intoxicants and similar offenses on the part of candidates, he would use his influence to have revoked the appoint ments to the academy of such youths, as the moral qualifications of those who contemplate entering the navy are most important.

FARMLAND KILLS TRUMBULL WOMAN Feared Wealthy Employer Was Going to Marry
 His Fellow
 Workman. LEAVES A WIFE
 IN NEW HAVEN Assailant Captured After Murder-Had Fired
 Shed to Hide
 Crime.

Trumbull, Conn, Aug. 22.-In a fit of jealously because he thought she was going to marry anotehr man, Lu- cas Kopllnsky, a farm hand on the estate of Aaron Mallett at Tashua hill, just beyond Long hill, shot and killed Miss Lillian Mallett to-day, and to hide his crime set fire to the shed in which he had slain the woman. Miss Mallett was wealthy and on Sunday last bur- jed her father who was one of the wealthiest men in this section. To-day she was in the shed talking with Kop- lirsky when suddenly, according to his own statement, he took out a revolver and fired two shots at her, both taking effect. He says he heard Miss Mallett tell another farm hand that she would marry him, and Koplinsky says this enraged him because he liked Miss Mallett very much. Koplinsky has a wife and family in New Haven with whom he has not lived for ten years, and he has worked on the Mallett place for seven years,
 Mrs. Treadwell, the next door neigh bor, was at the Mallet farm at the time of the shooting, although not at the spot. She was then going to find Miss Mallett when the reports of a revolver met her ear and she saw Koplinsky come out of the shed. She ran to her own home and gave the alarm.
 About the same time Dr Seth HILL another neighbor who lived on the other side of the Mallott place, heard the pistol shots and running to the shed found the body of Miss Mallett which he removed owing to the ap- preach of the fire which Koplinsky had set. Miss Mallett apparently had lived two or three minutes after being shot,
 The alarm of Mrs. Treadwell brought { together nearly all men in the Long Hill section and the gathering started after Koplinsky, running him down near the Episcopal church. He did not make any resistance and was seiz- ed and held by Albert Smith, jr., of Long Hill, and William Craft of Step ney, and then taken to Robert Stains store to await the arrival of officers from Bridgeport. In the meantime oth- CT neighbors had saved the set of farm buildings except the one shed which was burned with about 200 tons of hay. 1 Koplinslty acted cooly after his ar rest and talked with those around him. He must have stood close to Miss Nal 1 lett at the time of the shooting as his shirt was spattered with blood.

NEWS OF MILFORD
Reeves Manufacturing Company Elm,
 ployes Hold PicnIc--Notes.

Positions in the employ of the Reeves Manufacturing company are at premium all the time, one cause flor which is the fact that the officers of the company come pretty close to following the golden rule in treating tothers as they would like to be treated. It Is the policy of the company to give 1 the men few minutes breathing spell during the working hours each day, and some time during the winter I they hold banquet at which the men land officers get together around a well | laden table and each summer they give the employees and their families picnic, paying all the expenses them- lselves. Yesterday the second picnic which they had given since the com | pany located here was held at Pine Rock park, This event was enjoyed by about 200 people, employees and their families. This party went up to the rock in two special cars which left the shop at 9:15. Arriving at the grounds there were a lot of games, among which was a 100-yard dash. There were so many entries for this event that 1t was necessary to divide the runners into five squads, the win l Iner of each heat running off another heat, and this was won by Vincent Benham. who got prize of a set of eight books by popular authors. The contest of putting the 16-pound shot was won by George Hickey, who re-,
 ceived as a prize an earthen stein. Erred Benham won the one-legged race and received volume of views about the United States. Dan Mulholland won the standing broad jump. and has a nice pipe as the prize thus won
 Mrs. Smith won the peanut race, and
 received cut glass dish, and Miss
 Pickett of New Haven won the ring throwing contest, and has a suitable prize for this proficiency. Then came a corking good ball game in which a lnine made up of men in the assemb- Hing room defeated a nine composed of lmeter makers by a score of 8 to ? lruns. Then came a fine dinner, and dancing to music by BaiIey's orchestra land the party got back home about in the evening after an unusually good time
