BASE BALL NOTES.

Manager Durant of the Waterbury team has received signed contract from William Rogers, the southpaw, who at present is in Wharton, N. J. Rogers writes that his arm is in good shape. He was handicapped last season with lame wing but he says now that he is all right and able to pitch the game of his life.
 lazy Hoffman, the Holyoke out fielder. may be given a trial by the Philadelphia Athletics the coming season. Connie Mack says he is will ing to take a chance with Hoffman and will take him South if there is no protest from the Holyoke mana cement Hoffman is a good out fielder but not much of hitter. and what Mack would do with him is hard to tell. Rube vickers. the ex- Holyoker. is to join Connie Mack's army in Texas.
 The Detroit club has notified Arthur Brown, the first baseman who was drafted last fall from the Newark club. that he will be needed and that he must join the team in the South on March g. Brown was slated to be sold to the MontreaI-club of the Eastern league. but a National club recently refused to waive claim on his services. That caused man. ager Jennings to hang on to Brown. who is a high class fielder but a rather weak hitter

 TRIPS BEGUN
New Yorks Start Off, But Some of the Players Refuse to Go Un-
 less Salaries Are Raised.

New York, Feb 26.-There was all kinds of baseball gossip in clrcula- tion yesterday, owing to the presence of delegates from both of the big lea gues here. At the Fifth Avenue ho- tel, Charles A. Comiskey, the owner of the Chicago White Sox, who won the worlds championship last fall from the Chicago Nationals, was kept busy all the day receiving congratu- lations from American league fans and others. COmiskey was in q hap py frame of mind and said that the Sox had won the great victory by superior ball playing and remarkable pluck. T hope my boys will win the American league pennant again." said Comiskey to crowd of friends, .and that they will once more put 1t all over the National league champions; but if we cannot win the pennant, let Te say that sincerely hope the New York team will be victorious. Frank Farrell and Griffith have made a game fight here In the face of 0bsta- cles, and they deserve success. If they had a couple more good pitchers last season they might have beaten us out at that will stand pat on the makeup of the Sox. because I do not believe they can be improved upon. By the way. I've just signed Ed Walsh, my crack pitcher. whose con- tract was received by me today"
 Do you mean what you say about New York;" asked John F. Kilfoyle, one of the owners of the Clevelands, who was at COmiskey's elbow.
 "lndeed, l dO.' replied the old RO- man, "and l have all the respect and friendship in the world for you, too."
 But where does Boston come in?" queried John J. Taylor, the owner of the Beantown club, which is at pres ent undergoing complete reorgani- zatiOn.
 That is all up to you,' laughed COmiskey. If you can win the pen nant I'll be the first to take off my hat" It was all good natured josh ing and was the cause for much fun making
 President Taylor of the Boston Americans was in conference part VI tue udy WltH HIS ueW manager, Chick Stahl. Second Baseman Ferris who has been kicking over the traces had just notified them that he would go to Little Rock with the team. They had also received letter from Jimmy Collins stating that he had ta. ken of twenty pounds during his re- cent stay at Hot Springs and that there was absolutely nothing the mat ter with his knee which kept him out of the game a greater part of last year. As far as ShortstOp Parent. who is holding off for three-year contract Is concerned. Taylor said that he was not worrying about him at all and predicted that he would fall in line in due time. Incidentally Taylor .cornered Ned Hanlon, the manager of the Cincinnati team, and offered to trade Unglaub even up for a young Californian infielder named Kane that is on HanlOn's list.
 As I have seen neither of these men play" said Foxey Ned with a grin. Il will have to decline your of fer"

Bridgeport is coming tonight and several hundred rooters will accom- pany the team.
 A Waterbury paper quotes New Haven man as saying that the Hart ford roller polo timekeeper recently allowed the teams to play more than twenty minutes in each of two per iods. Secretary William Peet of the league says that the New Haven man who made, the report was either drunk or crazy, as Timer Pyne is as square as a die. The secretary of the amateur league here. R. w. Olm- sted. said. yesterday that he watched the timing closely as he occupies a seat next to the oficial timekeeper and he said he was positive that the timer never made any such mistake. The Hartford officials have a better equipment for timing than any set in the league. The stop-watch used is the best in the market and the man. agement procured bell and tapper that is beyond comparison. As far as known. the worst case of timing was at wallingford few weeks ago when Manager Stsrkie caught the timekeeper giving the home team the best of 1t and had the men playing when the gong should have been pulled long before it was.-Hartford Courant-

 Beating Hartford

All roads lead to the Eagles hall tonight where Dicky Pierce will be given a great reception by the locals. He comes here for his first visit in many years and he expects to take away with him a victory. It will be sad disappointment for Ucky and the Bridgeport bunch, for we will just about trim them as Wallingfori did last night It will be great bat lie however and from the general looks of things the biggest crowd that has attended polo game in this city will be on hand tonight. Carson City will be alive with rooters and the Golden gate on the opposite end of the house will contain as many more hot fans. While on the sides above and below will be another bunch of polo fans. It will be a game that will be worth double the time of admission.

THE PUGlLlsTS
GUNNER MOIR MADE GOOD
He Put Out Tiger Smith in Lon don Last Night Other Fight
 News of Interest.

London, Feb 26.-Gunner Moir re- tained his title of heavyweight cham pion of England last night by knock ing out Tiger Smith in the first round of their fight before, the National Sporting club.
 MOir opened the fight with rush, and dazed Smith with a hard right to the face. The Tiger came back a second later with jab to the jaw, but, it had little effect, and Moir fought him all over the ring with straight right and lefts that sent him to the floor
 Smith rose gamely, but was hard- .ly on his feet when the Gunner fought; him to neutral corner, where he was propped against the ropes. There the champion landed at will. and after sending him down twice, knocked him out completely with right to the jaw.
 The showing made, by Smith was a very decided disappointment. With the exception of one blow, that in no way stopped the rushes of Moir, he did not land on the artilleryman. and at the finish he was terribly punished about the face and body in the short milling.
 The fight has created great deal of interest ever since the match was made and the club was crowded to Its capacity to see the champion in what was perhaps the easiest fight of his career
 Moir was always the favorite, though Smith had following at the prevailing odds of to 1. Moir weighed in at 180 pounds. while Smith tipped the beam at 162 pounds. The purse was S5,750.

NEW BRITAIN WON.

New Haven, Feb 26.-Quinnipiac rink was packed with polo cranks last night to witness the downfall of Waterbury, New Haven winning out by the score of of to 3. The game was fast and replete with features and one of the most noticeable of these was the passing indulged in by Jason and Dews. These New Haven forwards on one occasion held their opponents at bay in the middle of the floor and then dashed at full speed down the rink. When they were all most on top of Sutton, the Waterbury goal tender, Jason, after engaging his attention by nursing the ball for a few moments, passed 1t to Dews, who poked 1t into the cage. Before the crowd could let out a howl of ap- plause for the clever work, however, the obstinate ball rolled out and was driven out of danger by one of the Waterbury players.
 Curtiss did not play and Manager Bone stated that he is still laid up. Dews took his pace and showed up we'll. His passing was excellent. and he used considerable head work, the only fault that can be found with him is that he let down on his play ing in the last period.
 During the early part of the game Miller and Mooney became engaged in a fracas, and several blows were exchanged before Referee Rorty stepped in and handed a foul to each participant. The line up and sum

that dolls would feel pain II burnt
The sky was found the chief field In
which the children exercised their
philosophic minds. About three-quar-
ters OF them thought the worid plain
with the sky like bowl turned over
II, sometimes believing that II was OF
such thin texture that one .ould cas-
lily break through, though so large
that much floor sweeping was neces-
sary in heaven. The sun mey enter
the ground when It sets, but half OF
the children thought that at night II
rolls or nies away, or Is blown, or
walks, or God pulls II higher up out
of sight. taking II up into heaven, ac-
cording to some putting II to bed, and
even taking OF its clothes and putting
them on again in the morning, or
again, II is believed to lie under the
trees at night and the angels mind
IT, God, OF whom children always
hear so much, plays very large part
in these conceptions. and Is made
directly responsible for n.l cosmic
phenomena. Thus thunder to these
American children was God groaning
or kicking or rolling barrels about,
or turning a big handle, or grinding
snow or breaking something, or 'ratt-
ling a big hammer, while the light

striking matches, or setting paper on.

declare that God comes to sec them
sometimes, and they have seen INN

bies dogs, trees, money, etc, and the
angels work for him. He looks like
a priest or a teacher or papa, and the
children like TO look at him; few
would themselves like to be God, His
house in the sky may be made OF stone
or brick; birds, children and Santa
Claus live with, God.
Birds and beasts, their food and

out, all talk to children when the dew

Has a Sensational AlImony Guilt Said

An alimony suit, news OF which Is
said to have been suppressed, has
been brought by Mrs. Emma Tinker,
wife of DIR. George Tinker, Of New
Philadelphia, says the Canal Dover
Reporter. Injunction proceedings
have also been started in the Stark
county courts to prevent DR.. Tinker
from Withdrawing $4,000 which he
has on deposot in the Harter bank
of Canton. It is also learned on good
authority that criminal action has
been started In one of the. Justice
courts Of New Philadelphia, charging
Dr. Tinker with misappropriating
funds belonging to his wife.
Some time ago the property be
longing to the Thinkers was sold and
the money paid to DR.. Tinker, while
the property was In Mrs. Tinkers
name. Some time after the deal was
made DR.. Tinker left, stating Mat he
was going to Texas to purchase a
home. Mrs. Tinker states she be-
lfeves he has not gone to Texas, but
is now hiding somewhere in this
county.
The difficulty between the Thinkers
comes as surprise to their friends
in this county. They have resided In

years. There was noinkling of trou-

A carping Briton by the name OF

brand OF liberty and of patriotism.
Liberty" says he in the course OF
a few somewhat heated and oyercap-
italized remarks, in Blackwoou mag

America can escape. The old inhabi-
tant smiles with satisfaction as he
murmurs the familiar word. At ev-

"You cannot pick up a newspaper
