THE DIAM o ND
NEW PITCHER
 DOING WELL
Bobby Keefe of the Highlaaders Has a Great Curve v Joe Con.
 nor Leaves To-Morrow.

Atlanta. March 21.-The third vic tory of the Highlanders over Atlanta brought to the front another actor on the base ball stage who has al- most been forgotten. He is Bobby Keefe, late of Montreal. Keefe proved to the crowd of 1000 specta- tors that he had control of one of the most remarkable curves that has been seen within the last decade.
 New York won the game by a score of ' to 5.
 Amos Rusie had the greatest curve ball known to the game, and coming close behind him is Leon Ames of the Giants, who has a won- derful bender which, at times, is so difficult to control as to lessen its value. Keefe's curve is the halfway mark between that of Rusie and of Ames. The ball coming with great force takes an outward break with a sudden fall and gives the batter the feeling of striking at a phantom.
 Bobby was not in shape to use his curve to great advantage on account of stiffness, but he kept on trying, and during his reign in the box but two of the minor leaguers succeeded in landing for a safe hit.
 He found considerable difficulty, however, in getting control of the ball, and but for that his exhibition would have been we'll night perfect.
 Keefe has an awkward pose in the box, and his legs have decided ten dency to bump together at the knees, but that has no effect whatever upon the curve and speed. There seems to be little doubt but that Keefe will become a regular member of the pitching corps.
 Following close behind keefe's exhibition, Barger, the newcomer also exhibited considerable skill as pitcher. He has what the players call 'fade-away" curve, but he failed to get it working on account of bad arm, and the Atlanta bats. men fell upon him heavily before he realized the amount of speed he had in his six feet of flesh. Then it was that he abandoned his curves and stepped in with main strength and awkwardness. The change had a very telling effect, and won the game
 Moriarity continues to astonish Grifiith by his wonderful hitting abil. ity. The way he is falling on the spring curve pitchers is remarkable He drove in four of the seven runs yesterday, and each time it was or clean line drive to left field fence for two bags. He is not hitting al bad pitchers, either, for these minor leaguers arc serving up every kind of curve known to batsmen.
 There are many young players down here trying to get jobs in the Southern league, and they are hoping to make good by throwing their arms of against the big leaguers. Con sequently the New York batters arc having no easy time at the bat.

The old fans will also be pleased to see one of their old time friends for long John Wiley Is playing with the Hartford team and reports from all the towns he has played in say he is doing some remarkable stunts. It will be fast game, too, but we must win it. From now to the end of the season we must hammer those other fellows into sub- mission and with our present aggre- gation we ought to be able to do it.

poLO WHITES.

Hartford here tonight.
 John Fahey. the new center, Is here.
 If you have not yet seen McGil- yray do his stunts. see him this eve ming.
 Ii will be like old times to watch John Wiley in those familiar long reaches of his as he tries to break up Ia play.
 The goal tenders or some of them have a new trick now. They tight en up the straps on their shin guards so that the referee can get the right measurement and then let out the straps after the inspection is over. You can't beat 'em.
 There will be blood on the moon down in Bridgeport this evening. The two leaders clash and 1t will he a fight to a finish. While they are hammering each other Waterbury will try to get higher up by wallop- ing Hartford.
 Fahey, the new center. is rated as one of the best men in the game to- day. He belongs in Lewiston. Maine and has been playing mostly fin the west. With Holderness and Fahey to break up combinations we ought to come pretty near going some.
 Secretary Bill Peet. you have one supreme nerve to predict that New Britain will win the pennant and that Waterbury will be in third place at the close. Nothing but the lead for us now. Sir Secretary.

where her musical education had its thorough beginning under James O'Neil at the New England conserva- tory.
 Her father died in 1880, and 17 years ago his cousin, Alexander For. syth, diamond broker of New York (whose recent winters were spent in Chelsea), purchased the farm and continued it's owner until the time of Mrs. Baldwin's acquiring 1t, few weeks prior to his death. The latter was very glad to pay the price set by Mir. Forsyth-S3.0O0.
 Much money will be spent upon i'm. provements, laying out of grounds. etc, and the estate will be known as "Nortonwoods.."
 One drives about mile and half from the village of Pennington past neat dwellings, fine pastures and wood lands--up a steady, gentle slope from Sandy river to reach this farm, always noted. for its beauty and ever the haunt of picnickers. artists and writ . CTS. Gs .4 ts Mme. Nordica has already decided to make it sort of museum where shall be collected family portraits, fur. nishings which were her mothers, pic lures of herself in her different roles, busts, casts and correspondence of fel. low artists. and perhaps her precious library which is rare and costly one.
 Not all of this great singers time has been absorbed by her principal talent, or the invitations of society magnates. She has been book col. lector for years and owns some espe. cially valuable editions of Ralzac and Browning. She is a remarkable lin. guist and an omnivorons student in literature.
 While her profession has hindered her from paying frequent visits to her birthplace she has kept a warm spot in her heart for her mothers old friends there. and was glad to have the opportunity. some years ago. to give a benefit concert. the proceeds of which went for the lighting of the streets in Pennington.
 Anecdotes without number are told of Nordica's grandfather. "Campmeet. | ing" John Allen. a Methodist preacher. whose piety. sunshine and sparkling wit made him a popular and beloved character.
 There are only the pleasantest mem ories connected with Mime. Nordica's parents. Her father. Edwin Norton. was . man of gentle courtesy and re- finement, ambitious for his children and a citizen whom Pennington was loath to lose when the removal to Boston seemed best for his family. The mothers church singing. viva cious ways. patrician beauty and wom- anly character endeared her to all who knew her.
 Probably no operatic star has ever managed to keep so intimately and uu- brokenly associated with her own people as has Nordics- During the early years of her career her mother travelled with her constantly. remain ing with her even after her marriage to Mir. Gowed. Her vacations have been so arranged that she and her sis ters could be together. and since her mothers death some of her sisters or nieces have invariably accompanied her upon her operatic tours.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Quite a bunch of ball players to pick from this season.
 Manager Durant evidently believes in making hay before the snow is of the ground and the crop is ready for harvesting.
 Joe Connor says that from the thirty-five players that the local man. agement has signed there should be chosen one of the best teams in the league.
 The fans read the baseball story in the Democrat yesterday with much interest. They forgot polo for the ! time being and let their thoughts drift to the summer sport. Every thing looks good to them, too.
 Joe Connor will leave Waterbury tomorrow morning for New York and Saturday he will sail with the Mon- treal team to Norfolk where they will have their spring training. Joe does not know for certain where he will play, but if Brown has been retained by the Montreal management he will have to tackle the job behind the bat He is in good condition. better than he ever was in his life and feels that he will surpass all his previous work
 The Brooklyns. according to near. ly all the prophets, will be hard to beat this year. Reports from Jack. sonville say that Donovan has sue. ceeded in stirring up feeling of great confidence among the members of the team. who are going to start the championship season with a hur. rah.
 While the New York American league clubs pitchers are all doing we'll at Atlanta and the moet en. couraging reports are being received as to the merits of the new boxmen Crockett, Keefe. Hughes, Castleton and Barger. there has developed a sudden uneasiness on the part of Hap. py Jack Chesbro. who is still at his Massachusetts farm.
 J. Hannifin. the new infielder SC. cured by Manager McGraw. ha, clinched himself for a job with the Giants this coming summer. He has shown his worth in the training work with the team and will. in the minds of some of the older players be of great value to the outfit.
 President Dovey of the Boston Ma, tionals. who was once good amateur player. has been actually putting on uniform lately and showing some of his men how to hunt and place drives. If this sort of business goes on Dovey may decide to save a regu. lar outfielder's salary by taking a place on the team himself. Such a policy would not surprise Boston fans
 Word comes from Chicago that Mike Donlin. the centernelder of tn, New York Nationals. has won hiI fight for a $500 increase in salar, and will proceei to join McCruw. team at New Orleans without delay DonIin is said to have shown . die. patch to friends yesterday which h. had received from McGraw readin1 as follows: Have just received you letter.

LARcHMoNT HooDooED.

New York. Feb. 12.-The Larchmont has
figured in long list of mishaps since
she entered the service of the JOY line.
They began on Sept. 4. 1892, when the
Larchmont was on fire in the sound. Her
200 passengers were in a panic. but the
crew fought the fire successfully, so that
the steamboat reached New York with
out casualties.
On Jan. "A, 1864 the Larchmont ran
ashore off Prudence island Two weeks
later she went aground again in Nara
gansett bay. There were $50 passengers
on board at the time. and they were
thrown into a panic. as the vessel ran
high and dry off Warwick light.
The Larchmont collided with and al
most cut IN two the lumber-laden schoon-
er d. j. Melanson on Oct l., 1904 Fire
threatened the LarchmoDt on Jan. IL
1896. Defective electric light wire insula-
ton. il is alleged. caused a blaze that
created wild excitement among the 200
passengers.
II was on the Larchmont that John 4.
Hart. an engineer on tug belonging to
the Pratt Astral Oil company. was muir
dered mysteriousiy on Feb. 10. 1905 Hart
was found dead in stateroom No. - aft
