THE DIAMOND
TWO DAYS REST
 MAY BENEFIT
Fans Are Hopeful of the Future oi the Local Team-Results of
 Yesterdays Games.

Idle for two days now, Waterbury
 should give good account of herself
 for some time to come. The rest has done the players, no doubt, world of
 good, and the owner and management have had chance to straighten out the tangles which seemed to envelop the team like an octopus. It is root, and root well from now on, and we eventually will land up where we be- long, in the fighting first division. There are no new developments in the purchase of the team and that will be matter that can be settled amic- ably at any time, as the owners will be Waterbury people anyway. With a whoop from the fans, and rush up- ward by the players, we will come to our own in good time and all the old good feelings will return.

Perhaps Jack Johnson May Meet His Waterloo - Old Rivals
 Will Travel Together.

A dispatch from Dunellen, N J.. where Bob Fitzsimmons is training for his battle with Jack Johnson in Phila- delphia on July IT, tells of the hard work the former heavyweight cham 'pion is doing to get himself in shape.
 The former champion has adopted a strenuous daily program, and from outward appearances is in the best or health, and still possesses the punch that brought forth the solar plexIs blow in his memorable fight with Jim Corbett at Carson City nine years ago.
 Fitz is up bright and early every morning. His first stunt is seven mile run, which he takes on the Plain- field roads at o'clock. After this daily jog he returns to his farm and takes it easy until 8 o'clock in the afternoon, when he puts on the gloves and spars six rounds with Joe Rogers, the 260 pound heavyweight, After this active session he exercises in his sym nasium, and afterward bath, which ends his days work.
 Tom O'Rourke, of New York, who DrOuSuL UeoESe biAoH anu otiiet siSA' CTS to the front, visited F'itz Thurs day. ORourke watched the veteran work, and after Fitz completed his set-to with Rogers the New Yorker gave an expert opinion on Fitz to the visiting newspaper men, which he summed up in the following words: Age hasn't taken any of Fitz's speed away and he is just as fast as ever"
 F1tz himself says he is in good shape, and his claim was borne out in the slashing manner in which he went at Rogers.

 for the Championship.

W. K. Shepard of the New Haven Country club and E .Tredennick of the Meriden Golf club will play in the finals to-day at the Hartford Golf club for the championship of the ninth annual tournament of the League of Connecticut Golf clubs.

Doty. jr., of the Wee Burn Golf club of Stamford. 3 up and ? to go. Shepard won the championship at New Haven two years ago. Sanford, who won the championship at New Haven last year, Is in the west and is not playing at this time. Shepard Is a more seasoned player than Tredennick. but the Meri- den man has been playing fine golf for the last few years. The experts figured out yesterday that to-day's battle ought to be corker and with little choice between the contestants.

Philadelphia Jack O'Brien wants to return to Dawson, and, incidental ly, he would like to do little man punching. Jack wrote to Jack Ell beck from San Francisco under re- cent date, saying:
 Things in my line are positively harsh and l am receiving such a roasting as Is not due any man in a professional line, but we are public men. so must accept it in as easy a light as 1t is possible.
 Well, my boy, I had hopes of see- ing you this summer. and might pos- sibly do so yet, but it is a big trip if thereis no expense money to recoup.
 But here isthe question: Is there chance to pull off contest in or about Dawson in which money could be made? l am not particular about any large amount. but will meet any man you can get there or from outside.
 "I know the game is about dead in there, but would like to see all my friends once more and expenses in and out would assist wonderfully. Write or wire.
 Don't believe the paper comments. They are doing everything under my signature and I must suffer as I will not give paper men an interview"

What a relief it will be to the
overwrought nerves and imaginations
of this country, Europe and Asia
when the much-advertised Pacific
Cruise" has passed into the realm of
things that were! We are told
that no observer in all Europe, how
ever friendly to America, but asserts
that President Roosevelt's policy re-
garding the fleet is full of provoca-
tive meaning. 1t is asserted, on the
other hand, that the idea that Japan
has any bellicose intention is unani-
mously repudiated; that trouble, If it
comes, will be caused by some wound
to the amour propre of high-spirited
Oriental people, and that the danger
of such an offense will inevitably be
increased by this cruise. 1t is signi-
ficant, however, that in all these ut
terances in Germany and in Russia,
no criticism of President Roosevelt is
to be found. On the contrary they
are enthusiastic in his praise. 1t re-
mains for the people of the United
States to impugn the motives and
cast slurs at the man they have plac-
ed at their head. We admit that, as
nation, we are provincial when it
comes to the dark and devious intri-
cacies of affairs diplomatique but we
have not been asked to believe
that this contemplated cruise is
taken for the benefit of the health
of the naval officers in command, as
some of the foreign dispatches would
seem to indicate. We are called up
on, however, to refrain from giving
vent to our own particular spleen
against Mr.. Roosevelt for giving
some of our noses a much-needed
tweak, by crediting him, through
the press, with mean motives and
with desire to precipitate a war
between this country and Japan
through sheer love of the smell of
gunpowder. We are placing oursel-
yes in the attitude of an old woman
who forgets all dignity and self-re-
spect in an uncomfortable desire to
say spiteful things. A little faith in
the judgment of the President who
has for six years given every evi
dence of having the welfare of the
people at heart would not be out of
order.

DEFEATED
Went Down in an Interesting Game
Played on Muddy Field.

The Foot Ball game last Sunday
between Perrysburg and the Milos
resulted in a defeat for the home
team, the score being too
A salty and touchdown were
both the result of the muddy condi-
tion of the ball. Both were made on
hunts, the Perrysburg players could
not catch the ball, both times rolling
behind the goal. The features of the
game were the playing of Brown,
Anon, Haas and the runs of Traut-
vein.
Next Sunday the home team will
line up against the fast Maroons of
Toledo, this is considered one of the
fastest teams in Toledo and they are
to be followed by-a large crowd of
rooters. Every one should see this
as it is expected to be one of the fast
est games of the year.

Almost every cabinet officer when
ne settles down to work takes up
some hobby and follows it persist
emily through his term of service.
Secretary Straus has apparently
taken up the foreign slavery ques-
ton and is going to follow it to fin
ish. There are two classes of slaves
that are being imported into this
country now. One is the horde of
women, imported for immoral pur-
poses, and the other is the Greek and
work in virtual slavery under pa
drones of their own nationality. The
importation of the women is bad
enough and ought to be stopped,
though it may be said that the ma
jority of this class of women know
why they are coming and are no
worse off here than they would be at
home; and as for their effect ON the
native population, it is a question
whether it is any worse than that of
the native product. But the slavery
of the Greek and Italian boys is even
worse. They are put out to work un-
der padrones who treat them little
worse than animals and fatten off
their wages. They grow up as a rule
to be very undesirable citizens and
we have enough undesirable citizens
as it is already. If Secretary Straus
can do anything to break up the traf-
fic, he will have done something to
render his service as cabinet of
ficer notable.
