BASE BALL NOTES.

We still stand we'll enough.
 It is not yet too late to save the game.
 Good bye Nick. and may you have the best of luck down in the southern cline u.
 A general understanding all around, between the owners. the management, the amateurs and the public is pos slble if the parties who are financially interested really desire peace.
 Arthur Nichols. captain of the local team. left for his home to-day and tomorrow will join the Nashville team of the Southern league. The old reliable will be missed by the team and the fans.
 And now comes the latest reports which are denied and then affirmed by various parties. Ward has been bought by Detroit and part of the pur- chase money has been paid. He will be played in the outfield. Eddie Far Icy has been bought by Pittsburg and will soon quit this field of labor.
 The City league managers did not issue the circular for a boycott on the state league. They are the best patrons of the game and will continue to patronize all the professional games. They are simply trying to protect the lltle league that has been in existence so long
 Tom McNeIlis has been up against the umpire SO soon out in Corning. He showed him how they do it in Wa terbury in a recent game out that way and landed in the hands of the officers of the law. They probably thought Tom was a rev recruit from the back woods.
 The City league managers will meet tonight and vill make arrange ments for the erection of bleschprs on their new ball field The crowds in attendance yesterday warranted them in making improvements all along the line.
 Why should the Waterbury state league team want to quit or want to sell the franchisef There was an in- dehsedness of s2On0 before the fourth of July games 500 was cleared on those games Friday at least s2no must have been added to the treasury and with yesterdays game the sum total should have been sweiied 10 s1Sn That would ouly leave an in- debtednssS of x70o. with the best part of the sumner to cone

THE DIAMOND
.HOLYOKE WON
 A CLOSE GAME
Farley Pitched We'll But We Failed to Hit When Hits Would Have
 Counted.

Waterbury lost the game yesterday with Holyoke through inability to hit the ball when it was really necessary that the sphere should be found. On the other hand Holyoke did the reverse and Ward kindly assisted the visit ors dn scoring the second run which won the game. Itwas an interesting game to witness, Farley and Hodge were in rare good form. Waterbury begain hostilities in the first when Ward singled, was sacrificed to sec ond and came home on Nichols two- sacker. That was all the scoring we accomplished, for Hodges gave us just four more hits, one of them double, but there was nothing doing in the scoring line Ramon in left nipped whatever chance we had by taking a corking drive from the bat of McAndrews in the sixth which would have certainly been good for three bases. In the fifth Mcdonald was hurt while trying to steal second and retired at the close of the inning in favor of Rice. Thackara got a finger put out of joint in the seventh and Ahea'rn took his place. Holyoke scored one run in the second on Grubb's three sacker and Bakers single. Baker was caught between bases, and Farley in trying to touch him. almost put him down for the count Their last run came in the sixth on Massey and Boucher's sin gles and Wards tumble. The score:

TIE ON ATHLETIC FIELD.
New York Athletic Club and Irish Americans Divide Honors.

New York Athletic Club and Irisk
 Americans Divide Honors.
 NEW YORK, July S-In one of the most bitterly contested field and track meets with amateur men of muscle as contestants, athletes of the New York and Irish-American Athletic clubs tied for the point prize at the annual jun for championship games of the Metro politan association of the American Athletic union at Celtic park yester- day. Each team scored 57 points, and every one was hard earned.
 It was a nip and tuck struggle be. tween the representatives of the two big rival athletic clubs, and the sups porters of each had many opportuni. ties to applaud. which they did with an abandon born of the most reckless enthusiasm.
 Lee Talbot. the big MercerberH schoolboy, wearing the colors of the Irish-American Athletic club. obtained the championship medal and record honors in the hammer throwing event. His best throw was 15S feet inches. two feet better than the best Metre politan association record.
 F. F. Risley. Irish-American Athletic club. materially helped his club in scoring points and obtained one first. one second and one third prize. With a bit better luck in the running high jump be might have won. In the original competition be only succeed. ed in clearing the bar at feet Q inches, making a tie with W. Thomass sen of the Twenty-third Street '. M< c. A. for second place.
 Among the protested men who wo3 was J. R. Elsele, the clever cross coun- try runner of Princeton university. who ran in the coIors of the New York Athletic club. The New Jersey eoi- legisn ran a fine race in the one mile run. closing with an electrical burst of speed which caused him to breast the tape six inches ahead of F. q. Riley of the Irish-American Athletic club. Riley would probably have won if it had not been for an unfortunats fall.
