New Haven here tonight.
Good chance to see Paul Gardner
at work.
Jack Fahey says IL is pretty hard
to win a game up in that bandbox in
Springfield. No team work can be
done.
The battle of the two flyers, Eddie
Higgins and George Bone, will be
again watched with interest this
evening. On their last meeting in
this city Higgins had a shade the
best OF Bone The latter intimates
that things will be reversed tonight.

JIM PARR BUSY MAN.

Pittsfeld, March 5.--The biggest
wrestling match of the season is
scheduled for Saturday night in the
Academy, when Oscar Samson, Plus
fields wrestler, will meet Jim Parr,
the English champion, in a handicap
match. According to the articles or
agreement, Parr will be forced to take
two falls in an hour, and also Keep
Samson from obtaining one, or lose
so per cent of the gate receipts. The
bout will start promptly at S:l5
o'clock, as many from northern and
southern Berkshire will want to re-
turn home by trolley.
Parr is very anxious to arrange a
match with Lacey of Adams and II
would not be surprising if he offered
to throw the Adams man a few times
within an hour. In recent match
between Parr and Samson, the latter
had the Englishman pinned twice, but
fortune favored him and he wriggled
out. 1t promises to be one of the best
bouts ever put on here.

HORSE NOTES.

J.. W. Murphy, colored midget
has been making rapid strides as a
rider at the New Orleans tracks.
Starter Mars Cassidy, who is good
Judge. says the boy is a conner.
Murphy rides more like Miller"
said Cassidy the other day, than
any boy I have ever seen. He is
alert at the post and always has a
loose hold on the reins, which per-
mits horse TO leave the post In
his stride. The trouble with
most of the other lights
weights is that they keep a REL
straining hold of the horses head
and this prevents him from dashins
away from the barrier with his
natural freedom. Murphy has a
good seat and nice hands, two es-
sential things in a good jockey, and
he is sure to make his mark"
Ending last Saturday III stables

New Orleans tracks. and of this
number ~ won more than $1,000

JUST ONE GOAL,

Springfield, March with but
so seconds of the last period remain
ing to be licked off, Jigger Higgins
saved Waterbury from the sting of a
shutout at the hands of Springfield
last night in the Lyman street rink,
when he Gagged the only goal credited
to the Nutmeggers. During the 40
minutes of action, and there was ac-
ton every minute, Springfield raked
in eight tallies, and only the fast
work of Goal Tend Cusick prevented
half dozen more from finding their
way into the netting. Springfield
tried hard to whitewash Waterbury,
in revenge for the defeat sustained in
the Nutmeg city Tuesday night, but
still has every reason to feel proud of
the manner in which the visitors
were outclassed and outplayed.
Though Springfield had the best
of the argument all the way, Water
bury never let up for moment,
playing desperately in the final min
utes for a goal The Springfield
squad jumped into the game with a
rush that simply carried Mcmahon S
boys off their rollers, and the pace
never slackened at any time. In
every department the Wanderers
showed themselves far superior to the
visitors, passing all around them and
blocking nearly every attempt at
driving.
In the closing round Waterbury
made a change in its lineup, Loxson
taking Fahey's place at center, while
the latter replaced Holderness at half
back. but the shift didn't do much
good. Waterbury began to get in
some vicious drives and the Spring
field defense braced to meet them.
Coggeshall and Miller bore the brunt
of the blocking, never fiinching when
it came TO facing wicked swing and
there were few smashes that reached
Sutherland Now and then a bunch
of Springfield players would gather
around Cusick and keep him dancing
at lively gait to stave off a score.
Hart finally counted the fifth goal
against him. The next goal. which
went to Lincoln, caused considerable
discussion. The Waterbury players
claimed that the ball went into the
cage through hole in the side Of
the cage and should not be counted.
Examination revealed the alleged
hole. but as the referee could not tell
exactly how the ball got in, there
was nothing else for him to do hut
allow the tally 10 stand. Hart and
Lincoln completed Springfield's scor-
ing and then Higgins sneaked in with
his solitary point for Waterbury as
time was nearly up. The lineup and

NEW HAVEN
HERE TONIGHT
Those Two Teams Always Make 1t
Interesting We Got a Good
Trimming Last Night.

The Waterbury fans will have an
opportunity of seeing Paul Gardner,
the new man secured by New Haven,
in action this evening. New Haven
and Waterbury have always put up
Il speedy contest and it will be no
exception tonight There is no team
in the league that George Bone would
sooner beat than the locals The
last time they appeared here, they
made desperate efforts TO get away
with victory, but they were disap-
pointed. Strengthened tonight by the
addition of Gardner, they will fight
like mad to throw down the local out
fit. We Lave not lost a home game in
SO long time that it would be
strange for us TO lose one now. In
fact, Captain Jack Fahey says it does
not lay in the power of the Bone
yards to get in the winning lick
Time will tell and when the last bell
clangs this evening, we may have
gone notch highter in the race to get
away from the last bunch.

THE DIAMOND
TEAMS GOING WELL
IN SUNNY SOUTH
Malarkey One Of McGraw's Pitch
ing Recruits Doing Well
More News.

Marlin, Texas, March 5.--The first
real pitching of the practicing sea-
son brought out Mathewson and Ma
larkey yesterday afternoon in the
daily game between the Colts and
the regulars, and neither side scored
while these two occupied the box.
McGraw sent his veterans to bat
against Malarkey in the order that
he intends to employ this season,
but in these innings they could get
but two hits, while the youngsters
failed to touch Matty.
Strang on second base for the
Colts singled in the first inning and
that was the only hit off Mathewson.
The big pitcher surprised his team
mates and McGraw by his speed and
action. Working in the West Point
gymnasium for three weeks adj
vanced Matty so much that he was
able to cut loose the first day down
here.
He threw only straight balls, but
his control was superb and by mix
ing his speedy ones with a slow ball
he completely baffled the youngsters,
who were afflicted with bit of stage
fright anyway. After Matty pitch
ed the first inning Malarkey decided
that it was up to him to hit fast
pace. He therefore handed up some
curves and made a fine showing
against the old timers. Malarkey
too exhibited excellent control, and
the heavy hitters of the team told
McGraw that he had a fine curve.
Malarkey's best deceiver was a
drop that breaks in and down so
fast that it can scarcely be hit safe.
This delivery made winner out OF
Malarkey last season and he has
shown so well down here that Nc
Graw is determined to cling to the
Sharon recruit.
The five inning game yesterday
resulted in a tie score. Ames fol
lowed Mathewson to the box and
Crandall finished for Malarkey. All
the scoring was done then. Ames
was wild and Crandall's arm bother
ed him SO much that he was not
effective.
hewson's pitching, but in the first
inning he was spiked on the right
hand by Merkle. This accident fol-
lowed long slide to third base, and
the cuts were so deep that Bresna-
han quit the game and went to the
hotel TO have them dressed. Need
ham took his place.
Devore was excused from practice
yesterday. He Is a victim of the
grip. McKenney was able to ride
out to the grounds yesterday and
Herzog is improving rapidly. Meth
er of them will play Saturday or
Sunday. however. McGinnity and
Mathewson will likely pitch the two
games at Dallas Saturday and Sun
day, with Wiltse and Ames in re-
serve.
None of the old pitchers will so
the full nine innings this time. NAL
arkey and either Beecher or Gran
dali will twirl for the colts at Fort

THE PUGlLISTS
FORFEITS HAVE
BEEN POSTED
Burns and Roach Ready For
Their Great Battle Other
Fight News.

All the forfeits have been put up
to govern the fight between Tommy
Burns and Jem Roche at Dublin on
March II. Roche's hackers have plac-
ed 5000 with the Sporting Life of
London, which will appoint the ref
cree and timekeepers. Burns is giving
odds that he will knock the alleged
Irish champion out in less than six
rounds. Those who have seen Roche
at his training quarters say that be
is one of those big. beefy fellows who
can never be made fit and that be is
lacking all the important qualities of
a first class pugilist. Burns, by the
way, has been severely criticized in
several English newspapers for ex-
pressing willingness to take Oil two
or three ''dubs" in single evening.
The English critics say that such a
proposition is not one involving real
sport and that Burns cannot succeed
in working any more easy money"
out of a gulible sporting public.

In fact, from his appearance !

that the fact of his loneliness had
no terrors for him. He was a
ragged little urchin selling papers
on a busy downtown corner. A
stylishly gowned woman amid the
hurrying throng dropped her
pocketbook. Quick as a flash
the boy seized it and hurried after
her. Touching his cap, he handed
her the heavy purse.
She thanked him very gra-
ciously and handed him a nickel.

Turn Off the Tap.

The following from The Tariff
and the Trusts" by Franklin
Pierce, illustrates the point pre-
cisely:
The true remedy against our
trusts is to seek out the cause of
a trust and TO remove that cause.
This is a perfectly simple and
natural remedy and lies close at
hand. 1t applies to public mat
tiers the same rule of wisdom
which men apply in their own
private affairs as to health, busi-
ness and every private transaction
in the world. If typhoid fever or
some other epidemic is sweeping
over your community and you
find that it results from sewerage
or some other physical cause, you
will remove the cause and not
rely solely upon the skill and
remedies of medical practitioners.
Some visitors who were being
shown over a pauper lunatic asy-
lum inquired of their guide what
method was employed to discover
when the inmates were suffici
emily recovered to leave.
WELL replied he, you see,
it's this way. We have a big
trough of water and we turns on
the tap. We leave it running and
tells 'em TO bail out the water
with pals until they've emptied
the trough"
"How does that prove it"
