WARD IS BASTIAN.
Our Leading Batter Has Gone and
 Been Discovered.

When Ward was sent out on a scouting expedition the other day and promised to bring back some players, he did not make any prom ise that he would bring himself back. It seems that Wards name is Bas- tian and not Ward. The Democrat was well aware of the fact ever since the opening of the season and in fact since last season, although it was not known last season just what name he would adopt when he arrived here. Bastian had agreed to play here last season but he failed to put in an appearance and drifted out among the outlaws. This year he made up his mind to come here, but decided to change his name be- cause a place named Kane wanted him to play out there. Recently Kane got wise to the fact that Ward was Bastian and that Bastian was Ward and the National secretary got working on his job. The conse- quences were that Manager Durant has been notified that Bastian is not Ward and that Ward is not Bas- tian, but that BastiaD is Bastian and Bastian must pay fine of $25 and stay out of organized baseball until he does. Whether he will be lost to this city cannot yet be found out, but if he is there is another hole that will be hard to fill up.

INTERNATIONAL ATHLETICS.
Ireland Defeats Scotland in Annual
 Match at Glasgow.

Scotland and Ireland met in the annual international match at track and field sports little more than a week ago at Glasgow. After an ex- citing tussle Ireland won, with a score of 6 events to 5. It was thought that had Lieutenant Halswell been there he would have turned the tables in favor of the Scotchmen.
 There were several brilliant per- formances. I. F. Fairbairn-C Crawford, the Irish half-mile champion, won the half mile in 1 minute 57 l-5 sec onds, making a new Scottish record Johnny McGough won the mile for Scotland, in minutes 22 1-5 sec. onds. Con Leahy. the English, Irish and Olympic champion, won the high jump, with 6 feet. and he also accounted for the broad jump, with 2l feet 9& inches. For the first time in thirteen years of the contest Ire land was not represented by a first class weight thrower. all the strong boys from the Emerald isle being in America just now. Nicholson won the hammer with throw of 153 feet ' inches. Roche of Ireland showed himself to be fine sprinter.

AGAIN THE AVERAGES.
Official List Issued from the Home of
 Jim 0'Rourke.

Rising continues to do strong work at the bat. He maintains his hold on first place by one point gain. Ladd is now his nearest rival and the two are having great race for the hit record. Both put on 10 during the week, not including yesterdays game for Ladd, and their totals are g and 92 respectively. With good luck this week both will pass the century mark in safe drives before next Monday. Bill Yaie broke into the 300 class Tn great style, and so Springfield still has four, with Burns dropping out.
 Those dinners that Manager Clark in gave his Hartford players were too much for their batting eyes and they all fell out of the select class during the week. But several of them are just on the edge and ready to break in again. including Nehring. who has been doing some magnificent stick work of late. A brace this week will count and the team may play two games with Holyoke. New Haven also spurted at the bat and put in It's best week. The great Hayward made a substantial gain and Kennedy 3at- ted we'll. but is still far from the .3OO mark with his New London record in. Here is the 300 list:

BASE BALL NOTES.
Holyoke here tomorrow.

Holyoke here tomorrow.
 We must pull down the leaders.
 Pretty near time that Holyoke had a flop.
 Bastian. alias Ward. is probably lost to us for good.
 Wonder how many outlaws are in the league under assumed names.
 Rothfuss and Cunningham had a fist battle yesterday on the Hartford grounds and Manager Clarkin has suspended Cunningham for ten days.
 Joe Connor will be seen once more in this league. He has been loaned by Montreal to Springfield and will alternate with Paddy 0'Connor be- hind the bat.
 In the list of runs in the American league as given in yesterdays paper the Chicago Americans were credited with Ss in place of 8 for the pre- yious week.
 New London always did give us a good fight and those last three games prove that she still eherishes some thing of the old feeling against us. We will tackle her again here on Thursday.
 The leaders, the Holyokes, will be here tomorrow and the fans will see contest that should bring out all our enthusiasm. We will have 10 take fall out of them and while we are helping Dan 0'Neill we will be incidentally helping ourselves.
 Hartford signed a pitcher named Lennon, but he proved a lemon, for after getting four days pay without doing any work he skipped to parts unknown. He must have been ashamed of his company.
 Tom Dowd will exert every base ball scheme to keep at the head of the list, as he knows all the other teams are trying 10 pull him down to their level. He will have to step some to keep us from whipping him and his pets tomorrow for we expect to be in the top bunch before the week is over. (

New Cycling Record from New York
 to Boston.

Boston, Mass. July 16.-William E. Rhodes, the Roxbury cyclist, who left New York at o'clock Saturday morning, arrived in this city Sunday morning at l:0S, covering the dis tance in 23 hours minutes, break ing the previous record of 23 hours 32 minutes, formerly held by Warren F. Taylor. the old road rider of Nor wood. Leaving New York he covered the first 6l miles to Bridgeport in 5 hours. At noon he arrived at Hart ford. 11S miles from his starting point. A short run to Springfield found him there at 2:30. After din- ner he set out for Worcester. The roads between Warren and Palmer were particularly bad, but he arrived at Worcester at O'Clock. where he made sop for supper.

 Two pitchers, Scanlon of Brooklyn and Richie of Philadelphia are the nominal leaders of the National league batsmen, according to the latest compilation of figures. Real honors go to Hans Wagner of Pitts burg, who is going at 1888 clip. Lumley of Brooklyn is a close second. with 1928 and Magee of Philadelphia is third with .324.
 An old teamate of Tommy Corcor- an of the New York Giants, brother of Phil Corcoran of the New Haven club, remarked the, other day when he heard that Corcoran had been relegated to the bench: "Corcoran is done as a big league player. It looked that way when he was laid off by Manager Hanlon last season, and now that he has failed again about the middle of the season, it's cinch that his days as a major leaguer are over Corcoran broke down about the middle of the season last year. but at that time there was a feeling among some of us that he would come back again, stronger than ever. Well, he did make his squirt this spring; but 1t looks now as if it was only flash in the pan"
 There were nineteen shutouts in the big leagues last week of which fourteen were in the National league.
 Not only are the Brooklyns worry ing the best of them by their good ball playing but they are making the magnates sit up and take notice by the crowds they are drawing. The Donovanites are the sensation of the league at present.

So far as the Kid is concerned his natural ability to hit is system that beats most pitching.
 The New York opinion that Bur- nett of the Cardinals is pretty like ly newcomer is seconded in Boston.
 Adrian Joss says Clark is the best catcher in the business. There is none better than the Cleveland back stop.
