THE DIAMOND
TRIMMED BY
 THE HOLYOKES
The Dowd Clan Has a Hoodoo on Us Hartford Gusts Spring
 field From Second.

Holyoke, July 9.-It took Tommy Dowd's pennant probabilities just two innings to knock all the ambition out of Waterbury yesterday after noon. Up to the fourth, the visitors, with one run to the, good, displayed lots of interest in the proceedings. Then the leaders went out and hook ed up three runs, and after they had attached four more in the sixth, the Waterburys threw up their hands in despair and thereafter their efforts were feeble afield and at bat. There was a slight awakening in the ninth when one more run was brought over by the Nutmeggers, but the rally was short-lived.
 Until Holyoke assumed con- handing lead the game was fairly in- teresting and attention was largely focused, especially at the opening on Umpire Murray. On the first play which really called for ruling, the decision fnaker stumbled into dis favor when he called Ward safe at second, although it looked as if he had been put out with full yard to spare. Again in the second he called Bronkie safe at first base, when nine out of ten who witnessed the play were ready to swear that he reached the bag after the ball did.
 About every member of the home team unburdened his feelings in good and bad English, and the ump was much worried man. Tom Dowd and Thackara kept up a run ming fire of talk from the coaching lines. and they had to be warned a couple of times to exercise more care. Once Dowd got into a dispute with Murray, which ended in the official timepiece being dragged forth and threat to forfeit the agme unless threat to forfeit the game unless conversation.
 Murray had to listen to a whole lot of tongue wagging from the Wat erbury side as well, his principal de- bate beingwith Candy Lachance, when he chased him off the first base coaching line. His rulings on balls and strikes got both pitchers worked up and called forth deluges of talk from both sides. The Holyoke play CTS joined in a roofing rally on the bench for a time and their jargon got on the nerves of Pitcher Hogarty as we'll as the ump. Murray appear ed much relieved when Holyoke got a tight grip on first money, and he was not bothered at all after that. E Hogarty's wildness contributed not a little to his upsetting for there werea cluster of the ripest kind of timely hits following in the path of free walks that pushed Holyoke men over the plate. with Massey, Grubb and Ahearn as the shining lights. Mattern might have got away with a shut out for the first run of the Wat erbury crowd came after he had struck out batsman, the runner scoring when the batter was thrown out at first. His only base on balls of the game assisted the other one. The score:

SECOND PLACE DISPUTE.

Hartford, July 9.-Hartford put the third place brand on the Ponies yesterday by as clever an all around exhibition of base ball moves as has been shown on the wethersfield ave nue lot this season. 0'Neil's herd was held in check all the time. partly through some fine slabbing slants of young Cunningham and partly through the speedy and snappy sup port given the man on the mound. Sensational fielding by Pop Rising and a couple of iashy double plays helped to hold the Senators down 10 two runs, but those totaled two more than went to the Ponies. The score:

BASE BALL NOTES.

Bridgeport here tomorrow.
 Hats oil to Captain Michael Nc Andrews.
 Our old friend Terry Rogers will be here tomorrow in the Bridgeport lineup.
 The president of the City league receives no salary. thank you, de- spite the opinions of those who know 1t all.
 Bridgeport is playing the fastest baseball of any team in the league just at the present time and the fans will surely see one of the best con- tests of the season tomorrow.
 George Lachance refused to accept the responsibility of the captaincy of the team and Mike McAndrews was made both captain and acting man. ager. Manager Durant will still look after the business end of the team.
 With Pittsburg now in second place in the National league race anI Philadelphia pressing New York hard for the third position. Johnny McGraw and his team looks to be In the down and out club.
 City league players cannot play with any other team in the city on Sunday in opposition to the regular City league games. The rule is there and is a most important one to the players.
 When Bridgeport comes here to- morrow the fans may have chance to see our former player Red Waller doing the act for the visitors. Then. too. Terry Rogers vii be in the out fieId for the Bridgeport bunch and yesterday he made a great record in his debut for this season.
 Waterbury is playing baseball just as good as any team in the league Under the new regime. she ought to do even better. She is not so far down the line and can easily get back into second place with a little en- eouragement from the fans. That is all that is required.

There was something doing among the batters last week, especially those in Hartford. The team thumped the hits out of Bridgeport and Waterbury pitchers and there were some tall stunts in the smashing line. AS a result the capital city team has three men just inside the 300 line list to- day. Springfield is still the most prominent club in the list with four men. Rising started off the week like a house afire and put on 10 hits in short order including five in one game It looked as though lie was in for q record, but he died away at the tail end and was only about able to maintain his position with slight ly higher percentage. Ladd hit the ball in great shape and is now in first place He also shook off Rising in the lead for the most safe hits. He has s3 while Rising has S2. Here is AL. .-A.

the Others.
 With the season half over, the work of the pitchers in games won and lost, not always a fair test of pitchers ability, however, is given below. Only those pitchers who have twirled in eight or more games are given Stack pole of Holyoke leads, Miller of Springfield is second, and Eddie Far ley of this city is third. Waller has pitched the most games, with Hess close second. The comparatively few games marked up against the Holyoke twirlers, shows the advan- tage of a large and well balanced pitching force. Here is the list:

Rickard is anxious to pull off re- turn fight between Cans and Nelson, and says he believes he can find a $40,000 purse for the fight if pulled of in Nevada sometime in September, preferably Labor day.
 Cans told Rickard last night that he would leave the arrangements in his hands and would abide by any thing he and Nelson would agree upon. reserving one point-the weight. Cans insisted that they weigh in at the ringside in fighting costume at 133 pounds.
 The division of the purse, Cans said, would be secondary with him, so long as 1t was not absolutely un- reasonable. He insists, too, that Billy Nolan, the Dane's manager. be made to do business in writing from first to last this time. sa Tn

 Jimmy Barry of Chicago. the heavyweight who cleaned 'em all out home and started to do the same thing here in the east, ran into a snag last night at the Philadelphia Washington Sporting club when he fought Jack Blackburn. Barry weighed in at 160 and Blackburn at 140. E @"
 Barry fought viciously and in the first round appeared to have the bet ter of it, knocking Blackburn to his knees and putting him in bad shape. Blackburn came back strong in the second and clearly outpointed his man during the rest of the battle. Barry asks for a return match and his friends who saw him fight last night will to a man put up their coin on him again.

THE PUGILlSTS|
BURNS MAY
 FIGHT JOHNSON
Will Give His Decision Next Week -Gans and Nelson Talk
 Once More.

San Francisco, July 9.-At last there is a prospect Ca slim one, though, the wise ones think of getting Tommy Burns in the ring with Jack Johnson, who is carded to fight Bob Fitzsimmons at Philadel- phia on July IT.
 A battle at the Ocean View pavi- lion between Burns and Johnson IS being arranged by Promoter Jimmy Coffroth, and the date of the en- counter will be September g.
 Coffroth preached the subject to Burns during a conversation and practically received the Canadians $ consent to the match. -
 "Pll fight him." said Burns, If you make twelve foot ring
 That's a matter Tommy" answer ed Coffroth, that the other fellow will have a say in"
 Well" replied Burns, T have al- ways said I would never fight a negro. but I would like to prove to this fellow and the world that am his master. I'll give you a final answer the middle of next week after I have duly thought it over"
 Barney Reynolds. manager and trainer for Bill Squires, tonight ad- mitted that he had received a cable gram from John Wren offering Burns $2,500 to fight Squires again within thirty days, stipulating that Burns should have all the gate receipts and the proceeds from the moving pie lures as well.
 "Wrens word goes for me- Rey- holds said, so if Tommy Burns is willing we can arrange the match at once. We are willing to fight this week, next week, the week after or any time within a month.'
 "It looks like, easy money to me, " Burns said, but I'll wait day be- fore answering definitely. l will be frank, however, and say l doubt very much if I accept it.
 "The bluff will help Squires a lit- tie in his advertising in this country for any bouts he may have in mind, and Bill is certainly entitled to it. 'Wren's offer is sort of a benefit hippodrome for Squires with Wren as the Big Noise.
 Squires said: "I'd rather go home, but am under contract to Wren, so if he orders me to stay here and fight Burns again of course l will do it."
