The Hartford players claim that they have been getting raw deal from the umps out of town in most of the games and they think it is only fair that they should get an even break occasionally. MT Cavanaugh, who officiated yesterday. was certainly kind to the home team and decls- ion of his in the ninth shut off the New London hopes in short order. The score:

4 NEW RIVER SPORT
GASOLINE LAUNCH PROVING
 POPULAR ON MISSISSIPPI.
People of St. Louis and Other River
 Towns Find the Little Power Boats Give New Charm to the River.

The development of the small power launch has opened up new possioili' ties of pleasure on the water and river towns are finding that there is new charm in the streams flowing by their doors. for where heretofore sailing was an cratic and uncertain mode or navigation, owing to the irregularity of the wind, and rowing was tedious because of the labor involved in pro polling the boat and the limited radius which it was possible to cover, the mot6 boat now enables them to skim the water and go where the Whim or pleasure dictates.
 The popularity of the private launch has grown amazingly at St. Louis' New boats are being built by the doz- en along the river front and new club houses are going up to accommodate the increasing numbers of people who are finding summer delight in the new sport.
 The launch on large stream, such as the Mississippi, increases the ex- citement in riding in one materially. On days when there are few launches out one may see the entire fleet stretching away from Eads bridge to the Merchants bridge. and from the bridge south to where Broadway be- comes but road. They indeed make a gay sight on these summer days, with their parti-colored hulls and fly ing pennants. and as they are being launched at the rate of about six new ones each week it may be expected to witness some good regattas this sum- mer when the feet becomes organized to race.
 The Central rowing club on the levee and North Market street, has but recently completed an up-to-date boathouse, which stands several floors above the water line, and besides, a yard for the repair and construction of boats, maintains a gymnasium and bowling alley for the accommodations of the members.
 There are very few rowboats used by the members of the Central club. The club has been formed for over 15 years, and since the rapid growth in popularity of the launch the skin has been practically busted, and besides a few sets of "sculls" for racing, gas oline launches are owned by most of the members.
 Out of about 200 members of this one club alone over 80 of them have completed thefr own launches, made right there on the rivers brink. and if one but strolls down that way nowadays one may see dozen or more in course of construction.
 It Is an interesting sight to watch the construction of these launches by the people who intend to operate them.
 Tt will cost about $500 to $700 to purchase a decent sized launch, with a ten-horse power engine said club member. while shaving on the edge of board, "and we can make them in a

 For an ordinary l5 or 20 foot launch six-horse power gasoline engine is perfectly adequate to drive 1t at any rate which on the Mississippi might ordinarily be desired, though when 1t comes to the large crafts of this type, with hull % to 40 feet in length, a much larger engine-being IS, 20, s5 or 40-horse power, according to the type of hull in which 1t must be used.
 Danger has always been attached by some people to the operation of a gasoline launch. The fear of explos- ion has prevented 1t from being as popular as might have been the case in the past. which Is plainly shown by the sudden popularity of the electric motor boat on foreign waters.
 With the proper apparatus. how. ever. such as Is mostly used on the launches of the Mississippi nowadays, there is said to be very little danger of explosion. the gasoline tank being stored away in an air-tight buIkhead in some cases. which. in the event of accident or collision. keeps the craft afioat
 The gasoline is piped to the engine from this alright tank on the outside along the hull. thus eliminating any chance of the pipe admitting danger. ous gas to the close cabin when the weather compels the windows to be closed In this lies the greatest dan ger in running a gasoline launch.

SPRINGFIELD HIT THE BALL.

Springfield, Aug 14.-Springneld won easily from Bridgeport yester- day afternoon, IA to 6. Cornen was hit heavily and this, together with the errors by the visitors, contributed largely to the score. The locals had a bad inning in the fourth, when their four errors were made, allow ing Bridgeport to get all but one of their total of six runs. The fielding features were furnished by Standard and Phelan. The heavy hitting of Burns was also a feature. The score:

 George Lachance played on stilts on several occasions yesterday and the way he pulled down those sky scrapers made the fans sit up and yell with delight.
 That catch of Moore's in the first inning was a screamer. It stopped the runaway New Ravens and prob- ably saved the day for the hostilities ended right there.
 Just at this time. when the teams are fighting tooth and nail for an ad- vantage over each other, every ufa- pire should be on deck to perform his work. Waterbury could not have blamed the umpire yesterday If the game had been lost. but still he would have been made the scapegoat just the same.
 Jerry Cornell shook hands with a we'll known clergyman yesterday just before he went to bat in that ninth inning and then Jerry made a two base hit. He should have sent all his men up to do little hand shaking as 1t might have brought them luck.
 It was no wonder that Dan o''Nell released Drake, alias Keenan. for his work of yesterday with the New Hs- ven team was anything but brilliant. With two on bases in the sixth he struck the air three times and they were not good balls at that.
 What fckleness is displayed in 6 Waterbury baseball crowd. That first inning made them grumblers and knockers and apparently the worst kind of knockers. and then quickly came the reverse when the runs commenced to come in.
 There is a strong probability that Frank Donahue, last season one of the most reliable pitchers of the De- troit club. will become the fifth mem Der of the twirling section of the Tigers.
 Any ball player who thinks he can prolong his usefulness by cultivating his kidding propensities should con- template Arlie Latham. the greatest baseball clown that ever turned a handspring. seeking a job as umpire In a bush league At one time Arlis was such an awful hit as a baseball comedian that the stage yearned for him.

 Them Out Other Fight News of Interest.

Frank o'Brien uncorked another knockout last night and when he passed it over Jack Curley thought his alarm clock had gone of ahead of time.
 O'Brien had Curley on queer street" in the second round of their six round bout at the New York Con- solidated A. C., and it only took a minute to finish the job in the third.
 Curley is good little fighter, but Is no match at any stage of the game for O'Brien. It was the latter's famous short arm jolt to the jaw that put Curley away.
 Mike Harris. veteran, had no trouble in thrashing Joe Hart. who. after he had stopped about three ter rife wallops in the second round, knew he had enough and didn't hesi- tate to say SO.
 Jerry Casey and Irish Paddy fur nished the ten round and star bout of the evening.
 Casey is too clean fighter to mix it with Paddy, who either from ex- citement or a natural desire to foul, resorted to rough house tactics sev- eral times and was roundly hissed by the spectators. But aside from that he is too strong for Casey and trained too fine for Jerry to tackle in his presetn condition.
 That the sporting fraternity is taking great interest in the Siler farewell benefit is certain from the number of inquiries received regard ing it. The sportsmen in all parts of the country are working in harmony to insure its success and prove to the world that the sporting public ap- preciates George Siler's many honest efforts while he was before the pub lie as ring referee.
 Jim Coffroth, the San Francisco fight promoter, sends his checks with the simple remark: Hes a good fellow"
 Lou Houseman, one of the best known Chicago all-around sporting men. who, by the way has not been on friendly terms with MT Siler, writes as follows: "Siler's retire ment is great loss to the game pugilistic, as honest and fearless men are what the game needs. The sporting men of the country should and will unite in making Siler's fare we'll testimonial one of the greatest in history He truly was named the Grand Old Man of the prize ring, and here is success to him"

Mourning vasaries.

Mourning is not what 1t used to
be-" said an undertaken. I'm fact
expect II see 1t 80 out altogether in
the next injury or so. Perhaps it is
just as well. No young widow, I've
heard. say. can wear mourning with
out looking like an adventures.
But in the seventeenth century
widows not only wore mourning, but
their bed curtains were black, and the
sheets and pillow cases had black
edging, like stationery. Even their
lingerie had mourning band.
In Italy the mobiles of the Renais-
sance carried their mourning as far
as their kn'ves and forks, which had
ebony instead of ivory handles.
Gray cinth superseded black for
mourning II the eighteenth century.
The fashion lasted about twenty
years. Then it died out, as 1t had
sprung up, mysteriously."
