ONE WIN FOR EACH.

Holyoke, Aug 20-Though 6 couple of captures would have been of great assistance to the cohorts Of Messrs Clarkin and Dowd in thetr chase after those pennant aspiring Ponies, the best that the "gKeatest minor league aggregation in the country" could do was to get an even split with Holyoke in yester- day afternoon double. decker. and that much was not accomplished un> til after the sternest sort of strug- gling. Holyoke bagged the first game in the sixth when Boucher hit over the left bulwarks with man on base. while Hartford throttled the second by squeezing in a couple of scratch hits with a misplay i'd the second inning, hut suffered bad scare in the ninth when the home help nearly tied up the trouble. Scoreboard tallies First. Holyoke 2, Hartford 1; second. Hartford 1, Holyoke g. Somewhat of a damper was put on the occasion hy a bad accident to Outfielder Frank Burke in the sixth inning of the first game when Pitcher Evans of Hartford pushed a swift shoot up against his left cheek and sent him to the hos pital in a hurry. The ball caught Burke solid on the side of the face and crushed in the bone. The play CT was hustled to the dressing room, where a physician attended him, and after ice had been applied to the injury he was taken to the hospital in an automobile in his uni- form. The scores:

game, Reischman made home run the first time up knocking one of Padron's curves over the left field fence. Padron retaliated i'll the eighth and made home run, the horsehide going over the fence on the first bound He brought in one run along with himself, and prevent ed the White Wings from shutting out the Mountaineers. Rorty umpir- ed the second game and he gave New Britain a raw deal. He called McCabe out at the home plate in the second inning, when the fans were sure he was safe by a mile The decision brought forth an angry growl from the bleachers, and when the inning closed McCabe went up to Rorty and disputed the decision with him. Rorty said something to McCabe which caused him to grab Dan O'Neil's friend by the throat As soon as Red could find his voice again he slapped $5 fine on to Me- Cabe and put him out of the game. Coughlin went in in place of Mo Cabe. The scores:

WAS TT YoU-OR MET

From memory's fieeting pages see face tonight; ( A wee small chap. in ragged jeans, A portrait of delight. A base ball park, with fences high, A cheering throng inside Two teams arrayed in bitter fight, And one--the small boy's pride. He watched the game with bated

 And cheered for every play. His eyes were glued to each manf
 form.
 For he was there to stay. He saw the plays and cheered ths

 As though 1t was immense: He looked at every lightning move Through a knot-hole in the fenna He longed to get a closer view, And thought of future days When he would have the cash u

BASEBALL NOTES.

That was a near" victory yester- day.
 If Red Waller can be held in cheek, he will make a good man for the New York Nationals
 There never has been 80 many play CTS bought up by the leagues at this time of the year before. The Con- necticut league is furnishing it's own quota.
 Hartford is not feeling so pompous these days and the blow organs have been put in cold storage. Springfield may not want to win this pennaut. but she can if she 90 wishes.
 Red Rorty Wss in trouble again yesterday and this time our old friend Arthur NcCabe was the az ErsssoT. Arthur got a grip on the ump's throat. until the managers in- terfered.

WALKERS 9 2-5 SECONDS. Wonderful Time for 100 Yards Not
 Likely to Be Accepted.

Some days ago the sporting world
 was startled by a wire Ifrom England to the effect that R. B. Walker of South Africa, the Olympic 100 me- ters winner. had covered 100 yards in 9 2-5 seconds at Abergavenny Wales. These figures if correct
 would beat all former worlds rec
 ords for the distance, but it seems
 there was a flaw in the timing, for
 at the. same meeting man was cred ited with 4 minutes 3-5 seconds for the. .tmile run. Here is what J.
 Fowler, Dixon says of Walker ana his record in*Sporting Life:
 The young South African has not
 let the grass grow under his feet since. the games. At Darlington he was credited with II 3-5 seconds for 120 yards, and at Glasgowswith 9 4-5 seconds for 120 yards and at Glas- gov with 9r' 4-5 seconds for 100 yards inls his heat ::
 but the Abergavenny. timing of 2-5 seconds for 100 yards, of course, beats the others easily. Is
 1t, likely to meet with general ac- ceptance? I trow not. That there
 was something radically wrong at
 the Welsh meeting is evident when
 one studies the various times. for Walker was not the only competi- tor who found a few yards there.
 For instance, the veteran, w.. Turn ham. won the 120 from II A yards
 in Ii S-5 seconds, or four yards bet ter than his Mondays time at New port, l2 seconds, from the same mark. This, by the way, was in his heat; in the final he was unplaced in II As seconds. The mile time
 too, minutes Q 3-5 seconds. re- quires a lot of swallowing. The pity of if Is that without doubt R. E. Walker is running in record breaking form, and on the running must have equalled or beaten Duff
 fey's very doubtful g 4-5 seconds
 but through the carelessness of the
 officials he is likely to lose the credit of the record, for g. 2-5 seconds is really a little beyond the range of
 possibility. It would mean, with
 out doubt, 10 1-5 seconds for 100
 meters and II seconds dead for 120
 yards, as Walker stays on we'll We
 must. hope that before Walker re-
 turns he will have one more go at
 the record on a level einder track with absolutely reliable watch hold
 CTS, for believe as he is running
 now he will surely show 9 4-5. sec

HAMBURG BELLIES STAKE.
She Takes the Measure of Spanish
 Queen at Poughkeepsie.

Poughkeepsie. Aug 2O.--Hamburg Belle won the $4 900 Oakland Baron stake in the Grand Circuit races yes terday. She took the measure of Spanish Queen for the first time. Hamburg Belle won three heats In 2:05A ..2:07. and 2:07., These. are the fastest three heats, ever trotted in race on the Hudson River Driv- ing park track. In the first two heats Spanish Queen and Hamburg Belle raced from wire to wire, with the Belle consistently showing the way for Macey's. mare. Carlokin proved bad performer for these two heats, breaking each time he started on the first turn.
 In the third heat Carlokin was sent out seriously to try conclusions with Hamburg Belle. The brown horse made a" game effort. He got by Spanish Queen and dropped into second place behind the Belle on the backstretch and coming down the homestretch lane. he was driven to a break without at any time threaten ing Hamburg Belle's lead. The lat ter won the deciding heat. The time of the first heat, 2:05A, equalled Hamburg Belle's record.
 The surprise of the days sport was the way Alceste, driven by Geers, quit in the 2:0S trot after she had two heats in. The three remaining heats were taken by Vandetta, who had no trouble in beating the Geers entry, in slow time. Major Brino was an easy winner of the 2:09 pace. The summaries:

IN THE FIGHT RING.
A Talk About Jeffries and the Man
 He Calls a Lemon.

Jim Jeffries gave the heavyweight championship title to Marvin Hart when he beat Jack Root, Tommy Burns whipped Hart, says the Gold field News .-H'T
 Jeff called Burns lemon.
 Just to keep up his good work Burns beat the life out of Bill Squires Australia's best, in one round.
 Jeff called him lobster.
 Then Burns travelled across the pond and defeated Gunner Moir, Eng lands champion, with ease.
 Jeff called Burns a quince. a.
 Poor Tommy It matters not how hard he tries, Jeff, the champion who refuses to fight, continues to hang the ! dub sign on Tommy. -# Just by the way, Tommy Burns has done more in the way of actual &C., cumulating of titles than any cham pion in the history of the ring.
 But short time ago Burns was a third-rate plug. He reached the top by leaps and bounds. He whipped every fighter who barred his path.
 It took Jim Jeffries much longer time to get where Burns is. And Jeff ries is larger and much more pow erful man than Burns.
 Here is how the mighty Jeff came to the top:
 Tn 1897 he fought twenty-round draws with Gus Ruhlin and poor old Joe Choyinsk. In 1898 he whipped that quartette of shining marks Joe Goddard. Peter Jackson, Pete Everett and Bob Armstrong. His one hard fight was with Tom Sharkey. and it took Jeff twenty-five hard-fought to gain the decision.
 The only real fighters that Jeffries faced during his career were Jim Cor bett and Bob Fitzsimmons, and he caught both of these men when their glory had begun to fade.
 Look over the list of victims and you'll find the names of Hank Griffin, Jack Finnegan, Joe Kennedy and Jack Monroe. --r-
 Did Jeff fight any lemons? Just figure it out for yourself. au
