HAS STRINGS ON HIM.
Otherwise Danaher Would Sign
 Pitcher Romer of Montreal.


 Whether Romer will be seen in the box for the New Haven base ball teem remains a question with the management. Romer is still on the payroll of the Montreal club. Man ager Danaher has told the young pitcher. providing he can secure his release from the Montreal club. he will talk business with him. "I want no men with strings on them." said MT Danaher. yesterday after noon. at the Sayin Rock grounds.
 Mr Dapaher says he considers Romer conner and thinks with a little practice he would make good. While Romer is waiting to hear from Montreal he will practice with the Brownies.

Jim Coffroth, the San Francisco fight promoter, made a clever move last week when he wired Mike Schreck the Cincinnati heavyweight, to be in readiness for q bout with Bill Squires, the Australian heavyweight champion, during the latter part of this month. Both Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and Tommy Burns have shown cold feet when pinned down to sign articles for contest with the Antipodean, and as Schreck had posted a forfeit to meet Squires, Coffroth knew he could rely on him to fight Squires.

THE PUGILISTS WE WHIPPED
 ENGLISHMEN
Yankee Tars Too Much For Johnnie Bulls ' O'Brien and Burns
 Clash Tonight.

Norfolk, Va, May S.-Three knock out and one draw were the result of the international pugilistic eombats aboard the battleship Louisiana, where the best of the British pugs were pitted against the American boxers, the latter winning hands down.
 The first bout was in the welter- weight class, Jones, of the Good Hope and Gum, of the Kentucky, fighting to a draw, after six rounds.
 Mccormick, of the Louisiana, and Toogood, of the Good Hope, both lightweights, started to do things pugilistic, but in thirty seconds Me- Cormick had his man down and out
 The third bout was between feath- erweights, Trener, of the Louisiana, knocking out Webb, of the Argyle, in the first minute of the second round.
 The last go was between heavy weights, Jarvis, of the Good Hope, being pitted against Eaglt of the Louisiana. The BritislIer was a splendid looking specimen of an ath- lete and went into the ring as though he had all order for mincemeat to be made of his opponent. He started lively and met something livelier., In the second round he was knocked out by Eaglit with vicious upper cut, that left no doubt when it landed.
 A side bet match is being arranged now between Altero, of the battleship Missouri, holder of the Atlantic fleet championship belt, and Schlosburg, of the Georgia. This will not be a fight for the belt, as all belt fights are ar ranged by the committee in charge. If Schlosburg makes good showing he probably will challenge Altero for a belt match. Schlosburg Las just re- turned to his ship from Boston, where he has boxed in the athletic events | there.

Jack o'Brien, the well-known Phil adelpha light heavyweight, and Tommy Burns. of Canada will meet tonight before the Pacific A. C., of Los Angeles, Cal, for twenty rounds at catch weights for purse of S30.- 900. The men are billed to battle for the heavyweight championship, but that Is only box office "ad," and the Pacific coast matchmaker plays it strong. This will be their third meet ing, the first taking place in Milwau- kee, back in 1904. when they fought six rounds, in which 0'Brien was de- clared the winner. The second bat tie was fought last November at the Los Angeles club and while Referee Jim Jeffries called it draw. the fight looked an easy win for Burns after the fifth round. when he caught O'Brien on the nose and split 1t open and the Quaker City boxer never did have a chance after that.

If Frank Gotch. the champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler is really anxious to climb the pugilistic ladder as he recently claimed in the west. he can have match for the asking from Tom o'Rourke's big heavyweight for any number of rounds.

At the Calumet Theatre.

Thrills galore, laughter in abundance,
excitement in intensity and cHmaxes of
a most startling nature. form the adj
jectives with which Vance and Sullivan
describe their melo-drama. The Wall
Street Mystery or King Of the Wire
Tappers, which they will launch on
our legal stage for the first time this
season at the Calumet theatre, Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday, 10, II, and IL.
OF course a piece of this nature pre-
sents many opportunities, for not only
pathos, but true comedy, and of these
it's author is said to have taken adj
vantage, and written play, that while
1t produces tears at one moment, it
chases them away at the next with
comedy that Will appeal to the tender
most passions OF the heart. There are
scenes and situations in this play that
range from the homes Of the aristocrat
to the municipal court room. in which
the dregs of society find warmth and
shelter for a few brief moments. The
piece is well set and the play we are
told, is one of true merit.
1.-The End OF the Trail" which Lin
coin ]. Carter will produce at the Cal
oumet theatre beginning Sunday. Oct
13, is bound to be a success. In the
first place, an unusually happy selec-
ton has been made in the title which
counts for much in the second place
the play is great, an exceptionally NOV
ing tale of interest 10 all and the audi
ence feels as II it had its moneys
worth after witnessing the perform
ance. It tells of life on the western
plains before civilization laid the finger
OF convention on the lives of tn,
ranchers and cowboys and weaves in
bit OF romance and love together with
enough tragedy to make 1t of absorb
ing interest to every one. stronf
cast is with the attraction-in fact tn,
best that will be seen in he popula
priced houses this season.
