HE SAT ON THE PONIES.
Wilkinson Gave Joe Connor a Minute
 to Play Ball.

New Britain. May 5.-when Padron. the pitcher. returned to the players bench Saturday. after shn- ting Springfield out in one inning. one excited fan handed him out a cigar. for which the Cuban politely thanked him. This little by-play fur hished a good deal of amusement. Captain McAndrews of the Spring field team mistook himself for the umpire at the outset of the game and thought he could run right over Um- pire Wilkinson rough shod. but he bumped up against the wrong fel- low. McAndrews became offensive in his coaching in the second Inning and insisted several times that Pa dron was snof keeping in the box after Wilkinson had told him to the contrary. The ump at once ordered hM to go 10 the bench. McAndrews was~a much surprised man. and made haste 10 obey. or he would have been ordered ont of the game. At a later stage of the game Catcher Connor thought the ump's memory had slipped cog and he had failed to count one strike He appealed 10 Oncizl Scorer McDermott at the press stand Wilkinson rushed ID to where the New Britain players were stationed and h0rroved watch. -Tll give vpu just one min ate fo Est Ia the game and plsy ball Conner vas t7ck to srsayni

BASEBALL NOTES.
New Britain here tomorrow.

New Britain here tomorrow. What an awful walloping that was.
 "Spud" Murphy at second for Springfield does not handle himself like an infielder. .
 Cooney Rice had to get in another of his heart-breaking misplays, and always costly one.
 McGraw expects McGinnity to be all right to go in the box soon and to have one of his best seasons.
 There is talk of Laporte being shifted to first base on the Boston Americans and assigning the second bag to the care of Mcconnell.
 Mathewson won his fifth straight victory yesterday. He has not been beaten this season. His scalps in- clude Philadelphia twice, Brooklyn twice and Boston once.
 Pitcher Manning delivered the goods for Griffith again yesterday. Incidentally it appears that Griff is at his old tricks of frequently shak- ing up his batting order.
 Catcher Ahearn of Holyoke, who has been let out, will not go to Roanoke, Va, where he is wanted. He may play with some northern club. but is as yet undecided.
 Eddie Farley will not soon forget Monday, May 1, 1908. There seemed to be something wrong. but what 1t was only those interested know. It was a great day for the killing.
 There must have been a reflection in the eyes of Mike Lucia and Joe Connor. for each threw in about the same place and with the same re- suits when those two runs came in for each side.
 Pitcher Lavender, who has been making such hit with Holyoke. in- jured his arm in practice yesterday and may be out of the game for some time. Romer will be retained until Lavender recovers, when Romer will go to Bridgeport.
 Waterbury begins the week badly, but those who have Springfield in the pools will say that she did all right. It is good thing that there was not a very big crowd in attend anee for the hammers would ring with a merry elang.
 outfielder John Anderson, now with the Chicago Americans. and Catcher NJ. E. Heyder of the Kansas City team. were yesterday reinstated by the national commission. The commission fined the Washington club s25 in both cases for disposing of the players while they were not actually in the service of the club
 Secretary o'Rourke has taken a hand in the Frank Burke matter and be says that HOlyOke will get him back. Secretary Farrell has called for HoIyoke's $500. the drafting price Of Burke. and this looks as if Hartford. Providence and Bingham ton will get it good and hard before they are through with the nationaII commission

Tommy Burns, the heavy weight champion. prize fighter, has been faking again. Followers of the prize ring have only to harken back a couple of years to San Francisco when philadelphia Jack" O'Brien and Burns met. Then Burns won and he told a marvellous story of how he had agreed to let OBrien win and then took the victory him. self. -.. --.,... .....
 Lately Burns knocked out" Jack Palmer, the Britisher, in less thai five rounds in London. Now Palmer writes a letter to his brother in this country in which he exposes the fake. He tells that. he had no chance to get the match had he not agreed to let Burns win, and that the cham pion" put up the money for Palmer's part of the side bet. Each man was supposed to post 500 pounds sterling with the Sporting Life as side bet, and it was impossible for Palmer to raise this amount That was play ing into Burns's hand, for it enabled him the easier to force the Englislt- man to come to terms. When it was agreed that Palmer would seek the floor in the middle of the second round. Burns turned over the cash for the side bet, and Palmer posted it as his own. The man with whom the bet was put up, of course, knew nothing of the inside workings of the fighters. He merely had to hold the money and turn 1t over to the winner. . ...
 Then came the second queer part of crooked deal. Palmer wanted to beat Burns, not for the sake of winning as much as for the amount of the side bet. That thousand pounds looked very sweet to him and he determined to doublecross the American, hop to the stakeholder and draw down the reward of the winner. With the coin in his hands Palmer would have little chance of losing it again, for Burns would not dare to raise a TOW. He could much better afford to let the money go than be branded as a faker.
 With the doublecross idea in his mind, Palmer went into training and worked like a beaver. That big bunch of money looked awfully good to him. The more he thought of it, the harder he worked, and when the time came for the battle he was, he thought, ready to lick any one. Burns started the fight with conf dence. thinking that Palmer would gracefully recline on the floor after boxing a little over a round. Palmer fought hard. trying to connect with one solid wallop. As the bout went on Palmer began to realize that he was not the man of four or five years ago. and that he was getting winded. Still he hoped to recover strength and fought along. When the second ronnd passed and there was no sign of giving up, Burns fought with great desperation. The pace got too hot for the Englishman. his wind went back on him, and te deliberately quit, he says. all thought of the thousand pounds leaving his noodle when the breath left his lungs.
