TRAPPING AN EXPERT.
How Baseball Players Figured in
 Cincinnati Murder Trial.

The expert testimony that is being offered in the Thaw trial calls to mind a very funny inci- dent that actually happened during the course of a murder trial in Gin cinnati several years ago. says a writer in the Cincinnati En- quirer. A pompous expert was on the stand. laying down the law as can be done only by physician, who imagines that he knows it all. Finally the witness was turned over 10 the prosecuting attorney for cross-examination. Doctor" began the prosecutor, in an amiable tone. ''it is hardly necessary for me to ask if you are familiar with that celebrated medical work Jones on Amputations'
 Certainly am," replied the phy- sician. You have also doubtless read "McPhee on Gunshot Woundss"
 "over and over again." said the doctor.
 And l make no question that Snyder on Lesions' is known to you ?''
 t ts III ny ioidft dl uotne, re- piled the expert.
 With bland smile the prosecutor turned to the jury. Gentlemen he said. you now have before you some startling evidence as to the value of expert testimony that is bought and paid for. There are no such medical books as those I have mentioned. with which the learned witness claims to be so familiar, Jones Me Phee and Snyder are members. past and present. of the Cincinnati base ball team Not one of them ever read a medical book. much less wrote one. They are all fine athletes and gentle men. but no one except this witness has even accused them of being medi- cal writers So far as the testimony of this so-called expert is concerned the prosecution rests it's case A roar of laughter greeted this speech, and the discomfited physician left the courtroom. leaving all his pomposify behind. He had been fairly trapped.

 A noticeable feature of the game was that although Dawson several times pocketed the last ball in c frame, he passed the break to Hues- ton, while the latter always broke the balls when 1t was his say. In fact. Dawson did not break once. TO looked as if he felt the percentage was with him by making Hueston break. for Tom several times picked off some choice long shots after Hues- ton had opened.
 The champion made brave start by clearing the table. but it was not until the seventh frame that he again figured to any extent, Dawson scor- ing 67 balls while the champion was getting eight. Dawson ended the twelfth frame leading. 102 to 7s. but thereafter he was not really a factor. Hueston running out with Is, three 1is and two Ills.

THE PUGILISTS SPIKE ROBSON
 THE WINNER He Cut Tommy Murphy All to Pieces in Six Rounds Other
 Bits of Fight News.

Philadelphia, Feb 21.-Spike Rob son, the clever little English fighter, made show of Tommy Murphy, the Harlem lightweight, in six-round fight before the National Athletic club last night.
 At all stages the English boy out boxed and outfought the New Yorker and had the fight been to finish there is little doubt but he would have won by the knockout route. At the final bell he had Murphy's face literally cut 10 ribbons and all through the milling he was able to land at will. Murphy fought gamely. but judged distance badly and failed swings.
 From the first bell Robson carried the fight to Murphy, and before the end of the second round he had the New Yorker bleeding from the nose. He "as particularly clever with his foOtwOrk and frequently would land three or four stiff jabs and dance away. without return. At the in- | fighting Robson. showed a like clever ness, and at no stage was the con querOr of Young Corbett a match for the shifty young Briton. In the second and the fourth ! rounds Murphy showed flash of form, but it was only flash and was
 easily offset later in the battle. In the fifth round Robson split Murphy's eye with q short right and he opened
 it up again before the end of the sixth.
 In the last round Murphy took a chance of landing knockout and he swung savagely with both hands re- peatedly but he could never connect and at the end Robson was hitting him at will.
 New York was well represented at the ringside and it was estimated that there were fully 4.O09 persons in the big building before the first pre- liminary was called.
 Early in the day it was announced that Robson weighed 126 pounds, while Oliver said that Murphy tipped the scales at 130 pounds. The arti- cles called for catch weights and con sequently there was no title involved though Robson was introduced as the featherweight champion of England.
 Robson was seconded by Al Dunn, Lew Bailey. Frank O'Brien and Buzzard Ingraham. In Murphy's corner were Johnny Oliver, Frank Erne and, Kid Howard. Early in the evening there. was some betting aat even money, but after the arrival of big New York delegation the Har- lem boy was made slight favorite. New York Jack O'Brien had lit- tie the better of Bert Reyes, the Phil adelphian, in their six round bout at the Sharkey A. C.. in West Sixty fifth street, New York, last night.
 Every one who held membership ticket was there, and each cheered lustily for his favorite when the men were fighting.
 The first round, was even, but O'Brien outfought Reyes in the next four rounds, and at the beginning of
 the sixth had decided advantage. The last round was desperately con- tested and several times Reyes land- ed punches that almost evened up the score.
 In the other bouts, all of which
 were closely contested. Young Frenchy won from Johnny Nelson, Joe Wagner beat Jimmy Moran, Al Greenwood was better than Dick
 Miller. and George Hoey won from Alex Dunsheath.

POLO WHITES.

Wallingford here tonight.
 We cannot afford to lose that game
 New Haven, we have given you credit for having a good bunch of players at the present time; but don't swell, don't swell.
 The sparks will fly when Bridge port and New Britain tackle each other tonight. A win by Bridgeport will send Waterbury higher, that is If we win ourselves.
 Wallingford is ripe for victory and if possible her managers would like to down one of the leaders to remove the hoodoo. Waterbury will not stand for being that leader and the game tonight will be warmly contested.
 They are after Loxson out in the west and have sent him several good offers. We say to Loxson as We said to Frank Sutton that the game in the west ends three weeks earlier than 1t does in the east, and you can't
 
 may be in salary.
 The players who are in this league to-day should stick to their positions. Next season the game will be even more popular than it is to-day and all those western chaps will be looking for jobs around this circuit.
 Wallingford has a complete new team and they expect to make it very interesting for the locals this even- ing. John Allen in the goal for the visitors will try every trick to outwit his old comrades.
 Next season will probably see Lewis, Cusick, Wodtke and several old favorites back in the Nutmeg state. Eddie Hipson, Tom Cotter and Johnny Russell, three stars in the old days, have passed away since polo died out here, after its previous re- vival.
 It would be pretty hard to pick out rush in the Connecticut league who has it on his fellow rushers. Frank Warner can hold his own with any, and so, for that matter, can Whip pie, Loxson and Curtiss. For gentle manly conduct and first-class play ing, Bill Curtiss ranks first with Frank Warner good second. There is no doubt. however. that this league is pretty we'll of with rushers, which helps out a whole lot.-New Haven Palladium.

MAY PLAY LAST GAME HERE.
Middletown and Winsted Basketball
 Teams.

Manager Carlson of the Middle town basketball team and Manager Sullivan of the Winsted team will meet this week. to arrange details for the coming series between the two clubs for the state championship. Three games will probably be played and as the title is now held by Mid dletown the first game will probably be played in that city. The second game will be played in Winsted and if third game is necessary it will be played upon neutral floor. The Middletown men prefer the First regiment armory in Hartford, where they won the championship from Winsted last season. The Winsted boys are said to favor Eagles hall in this city, where the 24 to 23 game was played in 1905. As the facilities for handling a crowd are better in this city 1t is believed that the man. agers will decide upon Waterbury if third game Is necessary.

THE DIAM o ND
NED HANLON
 BRINGS SUIT
He and Abel Seek Damages From the Brooklyn Club = Mike
 Donlin Robbed.

Ned Hanlon. former manager of the Brooklyn baseball team, and Ferdi- nand A. Abel yesterday brought suit on behalf of the Baltimore Baseball club for $4O,OOO, with interest, amounting ill all to nearly S50,OOO. Papers i'll this suit were served OH the New Jersey agent of the Brooklyn Baseball club yesterday afternoon at Exchange place, Jersey City, and Howard c. Griffiths, counsel for the Baltimore club said he expected the suit would be tried in April next in Jersey City.
 Tn 1S99," said Mir Griffiths, "the National league was reduced to eight clubs and in consequence of this re- duction the teams representing the ci- ties of Baltimore. Louisville, Cleve- land and Washington were dropped. It was agreed, however, by the other clubs in the league to pay the owners of these clubs certain sums, respec- lively, for the retirement Under this agreement the owners of the Balti- more club were to receive about S40,- 00O. These moneys were paid by the National league to the Baltimore club. ill installments. covering period of five years. During these years the Brooklyn Baseball club was in linan- cial embarrassment and this entire sum was loaned by the Baltimore club to the Brooklyn. and not dol lar of this money has oyer been paid back. The suit is brought by the Baltimore club to recover this amount with interest, which amounts to up- ward of $5O.OO0."
 There is much ill feeling between the stockholders of the Brooklyn club and there is a suit pending in the New Jersey courts to test the validity of the present office holders of the club. It is not known as yet whether there will be any attempt to force the matter when the National league meeting occurs in the Hotel Victoria on Monday night.
 On his explanation that his retire. ment last year was necessitated ln or der that his fathers business might be properly carried on, Edward J. AbbattichiO, the former short stop of the Boston Nationals who was recent ly traded to the Pittsburg club. has been reinstated by the National Base ball commission without the infiiction of a fine. Abbattichio convinced the members of the commission that dur ing the period of his retirement from the game he did nothing to prejudice his standing. He has already signed a Pittsburg contract. Abbattichio last year turned down an offer of $12,O0O for two years made by the New York Nationals.
 Michael Donlin. the ball player. was robbed of money and jewelry in his room at the Union hotel. Ill Randolph street, Chicago. the other night Donlin was accosted on the street by stranger who told hard luck story. The ball player took him into the restaurant of the hotel and filled him up with food. Then he an- nounced that if the stranger had no { other place to go he could share his room. The man accepted Donlin awoke in the night to discover that his roommate was missing. So were the ball players watch diamond stud, cuff buttons, set with diamonds and diamond scarfpin. The Ilun- der was worth about $500. The po- lice arrested man whom Donlin identified.

Greek.
 Boston, Feb 21.-Jim Barnes of Springfield, the middleweight wrest- ling champion of America, failed to throw James Prokos, the Lowell Greek, in their match at Chelsea last night. He contracted to score two falls on Prokos in an hour or forfeit the match. After 53 minutes of the hardest kind of wrestling. Barnes gave up, saying that 1t was impos- sible in the time left to negotiate a victory He claimed that the box ing mat that was in use handicapped him, but Prokos evidently proved stronger than he was thought to be. Both showed great skill, breaking holds and spinning away from dan gerous positions.
 Eddie O'Connell the we'll known wrestler of this city will go up against Harvey Parker at Fall River on Friday evening. The wrestler getting the best two out of three falls will be declared the winner. Parker has quite reputation around the country, but O'Connell is conf dent of being able to get the decision, although he will be lighter than his opponent by quite few pounds.
