FIELDER HIS REAL NAME. White Sox Leader Got in Bad in First
 Interview of His Career.

Is Fielder Jones' name Fielder Jones? .s. .
 That's a question that has been asked ever since-or before-the not ed leader of the Chicago White Sox broke into fast company.
 Evidently it is, for here's what he says: -+.
 When I left the little Pennsyl- vania town where had been playing semi-professional ball to join the Pittsburg club, an enterprfsing re- porter came to me and wanted my pedigree. He commenced:
 What is your full name?'
 Never get full replied.
 No kidding. mean your real name.' said the scribe.
 Fielder A. Jones'
 "'I know you are a fielder said the scribe, but whats the handle to the Jones part of your name?'
 Fielder A. Jones'
 "'I know you are a fielder said the scribe. but what's the handle to the Jones part of your name?'
 Fielder is my given name.' I re- piled, commencing to get hot under the collar.
 Well, I'll have to take it, but where are you from?'
 'Shinglehouse, Pa
 You're too - fresh for a begin ner,' angriIy replied the interviewer. and I really believe that he would have toasted me uncercifully if hadn't been lucky enough to get of good with Pittsburg and batted like a fiend for that season. He really thought I was kidding him, but l was not. for my name Is Fielder Alden Jones. and I was born at Shingle- house, Pa"
 That ought to settle the question.

BIRTHS CHALLENGE NOT TAKEN

As far as is known, none of the local pool sharks" has accepted the challenge issued by Britt of Hartford on his last appearance in this city. On that evening after Britt and De- monte had defeated Mclaughlin and Pakulski, the latter challenged the winners for s100 a side on behalf of Stone and Mclaughlin. Britt
 was not a bit eonceited. Placing his hand in his pocket he produced s100 and declared he would bet on a team match, but said he was will ing to make a match with either Stone of Mclaughlin for the one hundred copeeks. There was no re- ply to his answer. Since that time it was thought that Britt's challenge would be accepted. but SO far as IS known TO one has tried to make a match to get a bit of that hundred.

POLO
WE WENT INTO
 THE TIGERS DEN
Pawtucket Fell a Victim to Our Prowess Results of All the
 Other Games.

In a game that was characterized by clever juggling and passing, and superb defensive work on the part of Tommy Holderness and Jack Fa- hey, Waterbury did the trick to Pawtucket last night by the score of ' to 4. Tommy Holderness, in par ticular, has never in any game this season, shown such a remarkable tact for breaking up plays and block
 ing drives. He was a power in front of Cusick in every period Of the game. Cusick himself, was on the jump continually and took them from all corners of the rink. Mans field, like Griffith of the Bridgeport team, paid particular attention to "Jigger'' Higgins, with the result that our two rushers were handi- capped in the passing argument, but individually We made up for the loss of the double act. Pence, at goal for the visitors, was the boy with the big stick and the barn door obstruc- tions, and he did some spectacular work, both in the goal circle and outside of it, whenever the "Jigger' chap. coaxed him away from his cage. Cunningham ' and Pierce worked together like the wheels of a clock, but time and time again. they found their way blocked by Captain Jack and English Tommy, while Davy interrupted not a few himself. There were a few acci- dents to mar the clean work of the players. Pierce was accidentally ripped up by Fahey's hockey, and, before he could arise, Mansfield drove the ball with all his force and Dicky stopped the little red fellow with his head. It dazed him for a time, but he was soon in the game and the fans gave him the glad hand. Jason got rap from a stick and had an old sore on his arm laid open once more, but he too, contin- ued in the game. Only two fouls were called by Frank Hollywood who was the referee, one on Gun ningham and one on Holderness
 who were holding each other in a loving embrace. We took the lead at the start and maintained ii throughout. One of the goals was was the first one in the second per iod. Higgins and Pence were watch ing each other like hawks in the visitors goal circle, when Tommy Holderness got a chance to drive 8 long one. It was aimed accurately and the first thing that Higgins or Pence knew that the ball was com. ing was when it struck Higgins and bounded into the cage. Pence was as much surprised as was Higgins
 Pawtucket made good try in the last period but could not overcome the lead secured by the locals. The lineup and summary:

 The individual match between Beardsley of this city and Allen of Torrington was a beauty and cre- ated great interest.

DR.. McManaway on TazeweII

The Rev. DIR. McManaway, who
had been here for ten days, preaching
in theChristian and Baptits crhurch-
es, in response 10 an enquiry as TO
his impressions of Tazewell said TO
our reporter: Conditions have been
most favorable for nothing but good
Impressions since my stay here. The
people have been attentive and ap-
preciatiVe in their hearing of the
message l brought them. And |
easily am pleased with people who
are pleased with me. Then, too, my
stay in the home OF my old friend
and school mate and converse with
his charming family has been an un-
speakable pleasure.
The kindly hospitality of other
homes also, has been n delight. How
could L be otherwise than favorably
impressed?
The charms of Tazewell scenery,
the matchless beauty of color Of light
and shade on mountain and hill in
this springtime atmosphere, what can
a lover OF the mountains living in
the fiat woods say adequate TO such
theme! Happily, too, the town
with its beautiful homes, its gardens,
its churches, does not MARI the pros
poets but rather adds TO its charms.
