MAY LOSE HIS LEG.

Cincinnati. July 11.-Reports from the Good Samaritan hospital where Infielder Fred Merkle, of the New York Giants. underwent two operations on his foot for blood poisoning, are to the effect that se- rious complications have arisen. Un- less they are checked it is likely that the foot will have to be amputated.
 Merkle had planned to go to Pittsburg with the Giants Thursday night, and from the Smoky City go to his home in Toledo. but the hos pital physicians stated yesterday that it would be some time before the ball player would be able to leave the institution. Merkle real izes that he is in pretty bad shape, but is trying 10 keep the public in Ignorance of his condition. The foot is about the size of a big pump kin. and even the lower leg up to the knee is affected.

25 WEST MAIN STREET.

BlSley, Engiand, July ll.-l ne
 first three stages of the Olympic
 shooting competition ended yester-
 day afternoon with the American
 team in the lead, and its members
 are shooting so well that they ap- 1 pear to have an excellent chance for
 first place. The American team has
 so far an excellent score and leads
 the others by safe margin. A strong wind was blowing over the range yesterday, which proved
 something of a puzzle to the marks
 men on account of its variableness. | The American totals, though by no
 means records, are considered excel
 lent in view of the weather condi- tions. The efficiency of the Ameri-
 can team is a great surprise to the l European experts gathered at the range.
 The international team competi- tions are at 200, 500, 500, 800, 300
 and 1000 yards, each team of six
 using the arms of their respective countries. Each team fires 90 rounds. Is per man, at each of the six distances. Because of the large number of teams competing the con- tests will occupy two full days.
 In the 200-yard stage the Amer ican team scored 42S out of ap os- sible 45O. Sweden was second with 423.
 The total combined score of the Americans at the 200. 500 and 500 yards ranges was 1,29l, while that of the British was 1,2S1.
 The committee which inquired into the matter of the alleged error in the score card of Captain Casey of the United States, who yesterday apparently won the silver medal in the individual competition at 1000 yards, with a score of 93 out of a possible 100, has decided that there was no error and that Captain Casey won the prize. -... ....s
 Walter Winans. for the. United States, this morning won the double shot individual competition in which he was yesterday tied with Ranken, England. Winans scored. A out of possible so. while Ranken made only Al. Both made scores of 46 yesterday, when there was no wind stirring.
 America also won the 300 meter individual contest, which was de- | cided on another part of the range. l Each marksman in this competition 1 fired 120 rounds-40 prone, 40 i kneeling and 10 standing. Simon | of the American team made a score of SS6 out of a possible 1,20O. His nearest competitors were WalIing- ford and Blood of the EngliSh team, who scored s23 and S25 respeetive- ly.
 Late in the afternoon the weather turned cloudy, and as yesterday a misty haze spread over the range, giving way finally to a sleety rain. Tn spite of this interference with the team shooting at 500 yards, three of the marksmen made the highest possible score at this dis tanee. Their performance was greeted with prolonged applause. One of the three was an American- Lushner
 Eight countries are represented among the contesting teams-Great United States. Canada, Swe- den.. France, Norway, Greece and Denmark.
 Experts at the range are unani- nous in their opinion that the new Springfield short rifles. with which he American team is armed, are su- 'erior to the British arm.

THE ELKS
ONE MORE SCALP
 ON OUR BELT
We Trimmed Merideu and Take First Place-New Britain Lost
 to MiddIetown.

The Waterbury Elks team took the lead in the race yesterday by winning from Meriden. New Brit ain lost to Middletown, which gave us a clear field in the race. The game yesterday proved another swatfest for the local boys and they are beginning to be a terror to all the pitchers. Waterbury took the lead early in the game and 1t looked like another walkover, when in the sixth inning the um- pire gave some of the rawest decis- ions ever seen on the ball field and the score was tied by Meriden. A protest was entered against the um- pire but it was of no avail The boys were then told to go in and win and make as many as they liked. The consequences were that in the eighth inning, after another bum decision they went after the pitcher and hammered him all over the lot. They ran bases until halt was called when they allowed them selves to be called out. Meriden tried hard to get back what they had lost but Jim O'Connell was pitching and that told the whole story. Be hind O'Connell was bulwark of players that eat up everything in sight. All the regulars were not out either but the substitutes were all to the merry. City Clerk Sand land played at second, Ed Futile was in the center garden and Johnny Begley was in right field and all three filled the positions like old timers. It was a race to see who would have the most hits, but six of them had three each and the bets were called off. Joe Daly at short played another star game, while Tommy Lawlor out in the left gar den eat them up no matter where they went. With big Roger on first, Mulligan at center and George Calf ney behind the bat Meriden did not have a chance in a hundred to win. A big crowd of rooters from Wa terbury was on hand and had d great afternoon of sport. The score:

SWEET MARIE WINS TRoT.
Takes 2 Out of 8 Heats From Major
 Delmar and Wilkes Heart.

Readyille, Mass, July H. There was a great trotting race a the local track yesterday afternoon Sweet Marie capturing it by taking two of the three heats. Major Del' mar was second and Wilkes Heart third The time was nothing great the best mile being 2:06 F. made in the first heat by Sweet Marie
 There was great crowd present and the conditions were almost per feet. Major Delmar was the bothersome factor in scoring for the word Mcdonald not being able to bring him to wire without breaking On the sixth score Mcdonald changed places with Sweet Marie taking third position, and the change worked to advantage. as all were lined across the track at the wire and Palmer sent the trotters on their way.
 Major Delmar sprinted into the lead and was first by length at the quarter over Sweet Marie in Sl h These positions were retained to the half in 1903, and there was gen. eral closing up at the three-quar- ters, which was passed in 1:S4h. Andrews made his drive at the head of the home stretch, and at the dis tance had reached Delmar. From that point to the end Sweet Marie held the heat safe, winning by length. Wilkes Heart was six open lengths back of Major Delmar.
 Soon after getting the word in fife second heat, Sweet Marie made a break and lost seven lengths. The race then developed between Major Delmar and Wilkes Heart, the for r1er holding slight advantage clear into the homestretch, when Wilkes Heart weakened and Sweet Marie very nearly nipped him out for second place. The time in this last heat was 0:31 to quarter and 1:02A at the half. 1884 at the three-quarters and 2:0sh for the mile. .-e-
 Sweet Marie trailed the pair to the seventh pole in the third heat, when Wilkes Heart slowed up. Com ing near the wire neck and neck with Sweet Marie, Major Delmar broke badly and 1t was jog for the winner. The summary:
