HUMMELL. ALL AROUND STAR.
Has Done Everything But Catch Since
 He Joined Brooklyn Team.

silent John" Hummell. who is on the payroll of the Brooklyn Ma tional league club, has only to catch a game now and he will go down in the baseball book as having played every position on the diamond.
 Three years ago a message came to the Brooklyn grounds that there was a pretty good ball player up in Hol- yoke. and the Brooklyn club got him In his three years he has moved into the front rank of utility men. He does all his work in a cool. unassuming way. He has nothing to say on or ofi the field. but what he does with the ball while the game Is on is what makes Silent John class with the best of all around players.
 Just now Hummell is going at a fast clip. He was always a good hit ter and is in the 300 class at present. It doesn't make any difference where Patsy Donovan cends him, he never says a word. He picks up his glove and makes good wherever he is as- signed. It looks as If Holyoke will never see him again and no other mi. nor league club for some time. Hum- mell has gathered them ID la every position around the infeld. He went In and pitched a game two years ago In the latter part of the season. and, as said before. he is waiting for a chance to so in and catch a game.

HARTFORD IN THE LEAD.

Hartford, July S.-Hartford was forced yesterday to make stepping stone of Meriden in order to get a clear title to first place. in which the Clarkin-Dowd warriors were ably as sisted by the Hannaites, who de- feated O'Neil's tribe. The game in this city was not the most inter- esting one ever seen on the grounds, being devoid of special fea- lures, but as the home team had lead the greater part of the game, the contest was not an unsatisfac- tory one to the ma ajority of the spec tatOrs, who were not very numerous. although the bleachers were thickly settled. The home team outbatted the. visitors, making some timely hits, and also made more errors than Meriden. Cap.ain Moves led his men at the bat and when he didn't get the ball into safe terri tory he hit hard Manager Dowd had new man in right field in place of Wallace, one Malay, who looked and acted like a ball player. Evans pitched an effective game. The score: R.H.E. Hartford ..O1O2 2011+0s-5 [ 4 Meriden .0.01.O0 001 0-2 ?

PADRoN DID THE TRICK.

New Britain. July s.-LOuis Pad ron was the hero of the game at Electric field yesterday afternoon in which the locals took a fall out of the Springields. His home run in the ninth scored two and won the game. The bleachers emptied before he had got half way around the field and the fans spread over the field and brought him home like a tri- umphant Roman general. They patted him on the back and cried Good work, Louis. and although he is not fluent with English, he un- derstood all right and smiled at the ovation that was given him. He didn't have to ask for an interpre- tation, either. when Manager Hanna came sailing through the crowd. holding aloft a crisp sI0 bill. which he handed to him. The score. R.

Too Liberal.

There was all itinerant doctor In town few days ago-at least he said that was his profession, and he was making a house-tO-house canvass for business. He called upon the writer in turn. and sought information as to the names of any person or persons whom We might know are suffering with paralysis, cancer, old sores or any chronic cases of any kind, and in- cidentslly inquired as 10 our own health. Being assured that We were sound in body. if not in mind, and seeing no other way to get at US, he noticed that We had on spectacles, and hanging his hopes upon this intirmity, he proceeded to lay before us his busi- ness. He started in with the assertion that lie could restore our eyes to nor maj conditions within six months, and tX them up So that ve could dis card our glasses. His method was through the blood, land our purse. stating that no operation would be performed, and no direct treatment to those organs, and winding up with the very seductive offer that if we would be one of the first to take his soiutely, and we would ouly have 10 pay B, actual cost of medicines, etc. We asked the terms, and theE ~erG cash in advance, and he said that he already had three patientsthe no doubt meant yictimSl. Of course, we had no idea of patronizing this gentleman, aud hope none of our friends did, but We saw a chance for good news story, and led him into making Us the whole proposition. When he had fH- ished We politely told him that We dId not care to take lis treatment. and te went upon his way, seeking whom he could next separate from iris money. He is bod, indeed. to seek t0 work such a tiimsy confidence game upon business men, aud We won- der that he has not been exposed be fore now Should he have succeeded in getting the 5 he might have sent us some kind of noStrum with lot of literature, telling of the many ~on- derful cures of every kind Of ailment that it had performed, and that would have been the last of our , and our doctor.
