MUCH WANTED MAN.
Four Clubs Said to Be After Tom
 Tuckey.

Meriden, Aug S.--Though Presi- dent George B. Lovey of the Boston Nationals didn't come here yesterday to talk with the Meriden magnates about the purchase of Tom Tuckey, he notified Owner Fitzpatrick that he would be on hand to-day to see Tuck ey work. Mir Dovey went on to Bridgeport to see the game there, but when he found 1t raining in Orator town he continued on to New York.
 From Gotham Mir Dovey telephoned Mir Fitzpatrick concerning Tuckey and said he would. come to-day when Tom will be worked in one of the games against New Haven. Mir Fitz- patrick stated last night that the Bos- ton Americans, the New York Ameri- cans and Pittsburg are also after Tuckey and that other big league clubs want Soffel and Bridges.
 The Meriden owner says the Pitts burg team still holds an option on Tuckey. While he doesn't want to weaken Meriden, he figures he may as we'll get a fair price for his pitcher now as to see him drafted for s750 a little later Arthur Irwin is also ex- pected to-day to look Tuckey over for the New York Americans. and he will undoubtedly go to the highest bidder.

league closes its season. Hoey was farmed out to the New Jersey team last season. When he left the Hub his throwing arm was so bad that he could not throw from the outfeld to the infield, and 1t was thought that his days as a big leaguer were over. During the winter he was treated by a specialist and to-day his arm is feared by every runner in the Tri- State.
 Connie Mack, in discussing last night the wonderful increase in at- tendance at ball games all over the country, was very strongly of the opinion that the cause was to be found in the immense number of small amateur and semi-professiona leagues that have been formed in the vicinity of large cities. The games of these leagues, he maintains, have aroused a great interest, from which the big leagues have profted. There is another reason, however, and that is the great space given to the na- tionsl game by the newspapers.-St Louis Star.
 Arthur Irwin saw New Haven and Meriden play at Savin Rock on Thursday and then gave out the fol- lowing interview: "The Connects cut league players do nothing to help a base runner after he gets to sec ond base. They don't seem to know what to do. They are not trained to it, apparently. The batter never seems to work with the base runner, who has reached second. The men play a good team game till the base runner is located on second and there they lose and leave him. It is hard to train the men who come from the Connecticut to the biz leagues on this account. They have 10 learn a large part of the team game all over again"
 Manager George Bone of the New Haven team canned Waters, Havei and O'Rourke before he went ta New York as he said he would have some good players when he returned. During his absence, Murphy. the catcher. was also released. Bone saw the captains and managers Of the New York. Brooklyn, Chicago, Cincinnati, Jersey City, Newark, New York Americans and Weehaw- ken teams but he couldn't get any one. He returned to New Haven yesterday and reinstated the canned players. Failing to get a player while on his tour. Manager Bone se- cured one after he returned. He could have got him without going away. This player Is Pierce Weich, pitcher for the Annex Athletic club of New Haven He Is to be given a thorough trial. As Bone | took Havel. Waters and O'Rourke back. Cameron and Weidenheimer, who discharged Murray, took him hack. too. SO the team is just the same as before Bone went away. Great work.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Rain has played havoc with the pool men those last two days.
 Saturday, Aug 9-waterbury at Springfield. Meriden at Bridgeport, Holyoke at Hartford, New Britain at New Haven.
 Charley Kennedy has been rein stated at the almost unanimous re. quest of the managers. They real ized they had done a foolish thing to let Kennedy go for one little in- discretion. He is far above any other umpire in this league.
 How they do try to smooth over Red Rorty for getting a. little dose of discipline? Putting him in the same class as Dan o'Neil must take even Rorty's smile. This fawning on a man, who doesn't deserve even a comment would give you the "willles."
 Toronto is making an effort to pur- chase First Baseman Jack Flynn from Milwaukee. Flynn is the former Holy Gross player and played with Toronto last season. The Canadian club stands ready 10 pay a good price for his release.

BALL PLAYER's ROMANCE.
Bridgeport Sheriff Finds Him TOT
 the Bride.

Bridgeport, Aug S.-John F. Far relI of this city, known on the dla- mond as Rocky Farrell, while play ing professional baseball in Roches- ter a short time ago became engsg> ed to Miss Mary E. Pease, a hano~ some young woman of that city' When Farrell went elsewhere to nlay ball, he forgot all about Mary hut she has a better memory. MISS Pease came here and caused a writ in he iss ued in a suit of breach or promise. Deputy Sheriff Doolan was engaged on the case but Farrell was hard to find. Finally, the deputy fixed LID . scheme with Manager Farrell of the Western Union Tele> grarh company. A messenger boy went to a house where Farrell was supposed to be but where it was saiu that he had not been seen for two weeks. The boy said there was money order for him at the office.
 Soon he entered the telegraph of- flee. Manager Farrell was at the desk. He had a photograph of the man wanted concealed behind the desk A glance at the caller was enough.
 Money order here for J. P. Far rell?" asked Rocky"
 "oh, yes. Mir Farrell" responded the manager. Wat a moment. The manager will attend to that matter" And he stepped around 10 Sheriff Doolan.
 The latter stalked forth with the dignity of a telegraph magnate, and approached Farrell as if to inquire his business. But when he reached his side. he grasped Farrell firmly by the arm.
 Farrell grinned sheepishly, real izing he was caught, but made no effort at violence. The younger Doo- Ian was on the scene a moment lat CT. The trio hastened to police head ouar CTS. and talked matters over Farrell soon announced his Tilling. ness to marry Miss Pease. and then Sheriff Doolan accompanied him and his bride 10 the town clerks office for a license. thence to paTochial residence of inc Sacred Heart church. The Rev Father Sweeney made them MT and Mrs Farrell and now they are lat home" 10 the very few friends Co whom they have con- tided the secret of their whereabouts fin this city.

 When Mir Sharkey met MT Under Sheriff Gilchrist few weeks later on the steps of Tammany Hall, he in- paired: When is the pienic?"
 What is picnic?" MT Under Sheriff Gilchrist inquired.
 The thing I paid fifty for," sug- gested Mir Sharkey.
 MT Gilchrist didn't faint. He only smiled. "Stung:" he hissed through his teeth.
 Mir Casey spent the night in the Tombs, having accepted the invita- tion of Detectives Beck and Kelly to be the city's guest. He will remain there forty-eight hours longer, un- less he finds some one willing to go on his bond for $1,00O. He hasn't yet asked MT Sharkey to do so.
 Meanwhile in the corridor of the Tombs yesterday morning some one was heard singing:

Larry Connolly made good" last night at Browns A. C., Rockaway Beach, defeating Tony Caponi in a six-round bout.
 Caponi made a great showing by his aggressive work, but Connolly is far the clevereT and met his rushes with straight arm jabs that won for him.
 Connolly proved in this bout that he can take care of himself in fast company and appears to warrant the confidence his manager, Johnny Mack, has in him. He is fast, cool and clever. and carries a stinging jab in either hand. When he uncorks a wallop it Is bound to hurt.

THE PUGlLlSTS|
WERE SOME GOOD
 ONES LAST NIGHT
Packy Mcfarland Put His Man Away in the Seventh and
 Lsngford Won Also.

Los Angeles, Aug. S.-Packy Mc- Farland won from Phil Brock last night before the Pacific A. c. in the seventh round.
 There was no knockout. Referee Eyton stopped the fight and gave Mcfarland the victory when Brock was in the last stages of distress having been beaten through the ropes and chased round the ring with a rain of blows on his bleeding face.
 Mcfarland knocked Brock down in the second round but Brock was up at the count of seven. The bell saved Brock in the fifth round when he was holding desperately to Mcfarland while the latter rained shower of hooks and uppercuts on body and head. At long range fighting Me Farland had much the better of it, his leads being fine, his reach long and his measure accurate.
 New York, Aug. S.-Sam Langford, of Boston, stopped Tony Ross, of New Castle, Pa, in the fifth round of their fight at the Fairmount A. c. last night. Langford out-classed his op- ponent, but the latter showed re- markable gameness. In the fifth round, after Langford had dropped Ross three times, Jimmy Dime, Tony E chief second, threw the sponge into the ring while his man was fiat or the floor.
 Ross fought a great uphill fight but his dusky opponent was too clev- CT, strong and fast for him and Ross did we'll to last as long as he did.
 In the first round Langford chased his opponent about the ring, landing right and left hooks to the body and face. Each of the punches stung, and Ross tried to cover up, but the negro found openings in his guard and sent heavy swings crashing into Tony's stomach and head. At the end of the round Ross was cut and bleeding. In the second round Langford con tinued to beat Ross about the face and body, but toward the end Ross came back with a series of jabs and swings that shook Langford up. In the third Sam continued to chase Tony, but the latter managed to avoid many punches by sidestepping and backing.
 The fourth round was disastrous one for Ross. Langford landed hard right and left swings and doubled Ross up with a stiff right to the body Tony rallied long enough to run into a hard jolt to the jaw, which dropped him to the floor for the count of five The bell saved Ross.
 Langford went out to finish Ross 1T the fifth, for Tony looked tired as ht stepped to the scratch for this round After a few exchanges Sam shot ovel left and followed with a right tt jaw which put Ross down. Ton! arose, but was sent down again iron right to the chin. Again he arose and again Dangford punched hin with the right. Tony went dowl hard this time, and when the refere, had counted seven Jimmy Dime threv a sponge into the ring in token o defeat.
