the score of Alto l.

The Southington team was shut out yesterday afternoon by the New York Colored Giants, to o. The work of the colored boys was in a class above the local players and the team was the fastest aggregation at the Sand Hill grounds this season. The visitors scored three runs in the first inning on two hits, an error, and batsman being hit by a ball. They not only shut the team out but they did not allow them hit. Matty Walsh was effective at all times and the runs were scored upon errors. The work of the visiting battery was exceptional and the coaching of Leavell, the catcher, was above the ordinary, indulging at all times in a monologue which kept the crowd of nearly TOO in good humor. Coyle and Burke of Bristol were played in the absence of local players and Dolan the new man showed up we'll as he had an eye with him, walking three times.

GEORGE SILER QUITS.

Chicago, July 2.-George Siler, veteran boxing referee and formerly one of the best with the gloves in the arena, will retire soon.
 Siler will be 61 years old Sept 23, and yesterday he announced that be will celebrate the occasion by retir- ing from all active participation in the ring. As soon as it was known around town that the old referee had counted ten on himself, his friends and admirers around town decided to celebrate the event in fitting manner by preparing for monster testimon- ial which will probably be held at the Coliseum oD the day of his re- tirement.
 George Siler first entered profess ional ranks in 1870, boxing at l12 pounds. In 1872 he started in exhi- bition bouts in New York, boxing for fourteen consecutive weeks at the Grand Opera house, later touring the country with Billy Madden. In 1874 he won the lightweight champion ship after meeting all corners.
 He quit the ring as boxer in 1881 and turned his attention to referee ing. He has probaly offlciated in more ring battles than any other man living, his principal appearances be- ing the orbett-Fitzsimmons fight and the battles between Jeffries and Fitzsimmons, Jeffries and Sharkey, Fitzsimmons and Maher and Battling Nelson and Joe Cans.
 He has been official referee for the Chicago A. A. ever since boxing was prominent in that club.

Two Colored Teams in Action in the State.

Torrington, July 2.-Joe Burke, the crack slab artist for the Coe Brass baseball club, pitched the greatest game of his career against the Brooklyn Royal Giants, the fastest colored combination travelling, on League park diamond yesterday af- ternoon, but his comrades refused to accept of victory, falling down no less than ten times on easy chances behind him. In spite of this most discouragaing support, Burke con- tinued to play the game alone and he had the colored combination guessing at all stages. At one period the visitors threatened to show the yellow streak" and "squealed." They found in Umpire George Waite, however, an indicator handler who was not to be bluffed by any of their kind. The game was won by the visitors in the thirteenth inning by

Yale Crew Does Not Want Race With Cambridge.

New Haven, July 2.-Yale ath- letic officials said last night that there was no foundation for the re- port that the Yale varsity crew that won the race at New London wanted to row this season with the Cam bridge crew of England. Neither was there any prospect for such race be- cause the Yale varsity oarsmen had disbanded right after beating Har- yard last Thursday on the Thames Yale had made no bid whatever for a race with the Englishmen.

NEW DISTRICT STABLE
COMMISSIONER MORROW FAvoRS
BLooMINGDALE SITE.

That the Commissioners will respect the
wishes of the citizens of the Bloomingdale
section regarding the location of the Dis
trjct stables between Bryant Adams. I'd
and Sd streets, and select a site for the
stable elsewhere, as published this morning,
is not the case. The Commissioners have
not made a decision as a body. but Capt.
Jay ]. Morrow, Engineer Commissioner,
recommended to his colleagues today that
the stable be erected on the Bloomingdale
site, notwithstanding the vigorous protests.
81 move that the stable be located as first
intended" Capt. Morrow wrote. 1T is my
belief that no more suitable nor less OBJ
jectionable site for this stable could be
found; that it is necessary to have it within
close distance of the pumping station;
that no matter where 1t is located there
will be almost unanimous protest from
the owners of property adjacent, and that
the objections advanced by the protestants
are far more fanciful than real. in the in
terest of public service the board of COM
missioners should not abandon its first in
tention, and the stable, in my opinion.
should be located between Bryant, Adams.
I'd and Sd streets.
The Engineer Commissioner contends that
the establishment of the stable in the block
mentioned will not affect the character OF
the square, but, If anything, 1t will have
a tendency to improve 1t. The square In
question" Commissioner Morrow adds, is
about as squalid any in the city"
Commissioner West has said he will vote
against this proposed location, although he
has not made any official recommendation.
Commissioner Macfarland's attitude is un-
known. 1t is likely that a formal decision
will he reached tomorrow.
