WOrsted by Veteran.

ROCHESTER,, Aug. 29.-The game be-
tween Jersey City and Rochester yester-
day, which went to the Broncos. 10 to g..
tween Umpire Bill Sullivan n Pitcher
Foxen. of the Jersey City team. Foxen's
attack was so uncalled for that Manager
Bean intimated that Foxen had pitched his
last game. and has indefinitely suspended
the player. It is likely in view of the
drastic action Of President Powers in the
Tim Flood case at Toronto recently that
Foxen has also pitched his last Eastern
League game.
From the opening of the game Foxen
was in n nasty mood, and in the second
inning he was ordered from the game
for nagging at the umpire. On the bench
Foxen tainted Sullivan-until the latter
was compelled to order him from the
grounds. Foxen sat In the players bus
for a time and then got into the restau-
rant and liquored up.
When the game was ended and the play
ers were hurrylng from the field. Foxen
sneaked along the stand and pounced into
the little ~six-by-six room used by the UNI
pires as q dressing room. He was armed
with a bat and wildly swung at Sulllvan's
head. The umpire tried to ward off the
blow with his arm. but the club smashed
his straw hat and raised a lump on his
arm.
Sullivan hit the pitcher In the face and
then Ginched with him. He had Foxens
head in chancery and was pummeling the
pugilistic pitcher good and plenty when a
couple of policemen broke down a partition
end separated them.
Captain Stein had a hard task to subdue
Foxen, who broke away twice and once
struck at Stein and again at Manager
Bean. Sullivan declined to have Foxen
arrested, but made n report of the Incl
dent to Acting President White of the
league.
>As for the game 1t was a smuggling match.
Wormwood, who succeeded Foxen, was
batted for fourteen hits, including two
doubles and a triple. The Bronco runs
came in clusters of two. two each for the
first four Innings. one in the sixth and two
each In tho eighth and ninth. Jersey made
Six errors. Clement made the longest hit
of the year on the grounds, a home run
In the ninth after Fitzgerald had made a
triple.

Delmar. 1894, the worlds champion trot-
ting gelding, covered a great mile at the
fair grounds yesterday afternoon. He
started out to beat 2:09A, and trotted IN

defeating Brooklyn in a tight eleventh.
ming game by the score of 5 to 4. Iron
Man Hope was in the box for the In
vaders, and the victory may be traced to
his mastery pitching. The teams were
even up at 3 TO 8 in the third inning, and
the figures were unchanged in the follow
ing seven round Brooklyn squeezed in a
run In the first of the eleventh.
That run looked as big ass mountain,
as Wolf had kept the local hitsmiths we'll
in check up to that time. But the In
vaders were there with the necessary wal

half, singled TO centre, and took second on
Cox's sacrifice. Armstrong famed. but
Hope came to the rescue with a drive to

run. A hit TO right by Courtney sent Hope
to second, and another bingle by Sweeney
broke up the game. Hope crossing the

Dropping two more games at Toronto
! yesterday has reduced Newark's grip on
third place in the Eastern League stand
ing to a one-game margin. Providence is
now pressing the Colts, and Jersey City,
Baltimore and Rochester are not far be-
hind. Burnham's men may be forced out
OF their position for a day or two, but
they the expected to finish third, the place
they gained by their great squirt during
the month of July.
II the Colts fail TO finish third, Second
place being practically out of the ques-
toni, they would have no one but them
selves to blame The opportunity to drive
a spike into that notch Is on hand. The
locals will wind up at Toronto today. Frill,
the p. o. M. League recruit, is dBe to
pitch, and, consequently, there is a chance
to land Mt least one game out of the series.
Tomorrow the Colts will lay idle, but on
Saturday and Sunday Captain Sharpe's
men will once more stack up against the
Jersey City Club, that being their last
meeting this season with the Skeeters.
will follow seven straight games with
Providence, three in the Rhod Island
town and four in this city. That double
series should come near deciding the ques-
ton of Newark's final landing place. Prov
idence seems to be the club Newark will
have to beat out for third place, and there
Will be the chance. A victory or two over
Jersey City in the meantime would also be
thankfully received.

Great Mare-Argot Boy Captures
2:04 Pace, After Close Heats.

PROVIDENCE. r. L., Aug. 2s.-The
third days racing at Narragansett Park
brought at least one interesting event, the
third race, 2:04 class, for PAGERS, requir-
ing four heats, us all the starters were
pretty we'll matched.
The event of the day, the Roger williams
stake of $1,000 for 2:12 ~trotters, brought
out a larger crowd than either Of the first
two days, about 1000 being present. In
this race Highball and Sonoma Girl were
both entered, and the withdrawal of the
latter was a great disappointment to the
spectators. Just before the race 1t was an
nounced that the Girl was in no condition
to dc any racing. As was then expected
Highball ran away from the field, getting
both heats with little trouble.
The 2:20 pace. with eight starters, was
won by Laura Bellini, In straight heats.
handily. Both heats were hotly contested
by the mare and Moy, Laura winning by
narrow margins.
The third race. 2:04 class for PAGERS. was
a puzzle. Ardelle. Argot Boy and Kruger
all looked like first money. Four heats
were necessary to decide this event. Ardelle
led all the way in the first heat. with
Kruger and Argot Boy fighting it out
