The sttings were given, and the splendid and
last portrait of Jackson, though that Of
peaceful old man, is the most striking ever
taken and of great value, for he was then on
the verge Of the other world.

After getting walloped several times in. succession by the New Ha- ven team, within a few days, we sauntered up against them again yesterday out at Rockville and we turned the tables. We began our work early and soon had substan- tial lead of the Bone outfit, who made desperate efforts to land on Herman Bronkie, but who fell down miserably. IL would nave been - shut out sure but for ''Soxy" Lyons, the latest indicator man, to know what it means to do things the fans don't appreciate. A bad de- cision at the first station in the ninth inning, when two were out gave the New Ravens the opportunity of forcing an entrance into the run col umn and. they did it to the amount of two. Waterbury hit the ball on portunely and fielded in excellent manner. There was never time when the game looked dangerous for us and the only hope of the fans was for a shut out, which was pre- vented by the decidedly wrong de- cision of MT Ump in the last inning.

New Haven, Aug 3.--A report was current yesterday that Candy La- chance. the first baseman of the New Haven baseball club had jumped the team. He was missing from the line- up in the game yesterday in Water- bury and Saturday in this city and no explanation was offered for his absence. ...
 Ii is known that be had a hot arr gument with Manager George Bone Friday afternoon during the game with Waterbury. Lachance was on second and tried to go all the way home on a short hit to left. He was nabbed at the plate. A coaeher stood at third but he did not stop Candy. The New Haven system of play throws the burden for allowing q man to go home on the coacher.
 Manager Bone was distressed be- cause Laehance tried to so home and gave him an emphatic call. Lachancs talked back in just as vigorous lan- guage and the iawing match between the veterans divided interest with the game for a few minutes.
 Lachanee reported Saturday morn- ing and got his weekly pay envelope. Then he disappeared.
