He is Dying to Get on the Mat But Finds no One Willing to

The following challenge is self-ex- planatory and should make the chal- lenged ones open their eyes and con- pei them to look up and listen:
 Norwich, July g, 1908. Editor Waterbury Democrat:
 Dear Sir: I have challenged Alex Swanson and John E. Kelley to wrestle me and to date l have re- ceived no reply to same, and I ask you to challenge these men through your valuable paper. I will wrestle either of them or anyone that de- sires to wrestle me, catch-as-catch- can to a finish, anywhere in the state. They act as though they had cold feet when they get a challenge from anyone they cannot fake with, so I take this means of challenging anyone that desires my game. Hop- ing that something may come of this and that some of these world beaters may pick up courage and accept this challenge, I am, sincerely yours,

 Corcoran and Halligan were the opposing pitchers and both worked hard and steady Corcoran did not get the support from his team mates that the Meriden boys gave Halligan. Two errors by Havel at short and one each by Simmons and Sherwood had rather bad effect on the game. Sim mons failed to connect with the ball again yesterday while Zacher, Havel and Cornell drove out two-baggers.
 There was one man out in the tenth when Meriden scored and copped the game. The score:

BRISTOL ELKs LOST. Didn't Have a Look In With Water
 bury Yesterday.

Perhaps Waterbury lodge of Elks
 baseball team can't play baseball and then play some more. You should have been out at>-that game yesterday and enthused over the
 way in which the local horned
 chaps took their brethren from Bristol into camp. And Judge Ma lone was in the box too for the visit ors, but his old cross fire ball and all his other deceptive ones were found with evident satisfaction. Big Roger was there, you can just bet an old forty-fve deck he was. He had the willow with him, too, and when the judge from Bristsol go. two strikes on him, his first time at bat, the man who deals out penal ties in Bristol smiled a big smile and said, Now I will give him my cross fire ball and the big fellow will strike out for the first time in years. The cross fire came, but so did Roger and the ball sailed just as smoothly as did Reid & Hughes's trapeze performer through the air and landed against the center field fence and the big fellow rested on second. It wasn't the only hit he made either for twice more did he slam it out, once for a three sacker and once more for a single. In fact we found the judge just as easy as We did the Hartford twirler the other day. True he struck out 10 of us, but that did not matter, because when we needed a hit We hit it plumb on the nose.
 Bristol got one run and that one came in the very first inning, when Hayes was hit by the pitcher, stole second and third and came home on fielder's choice. After that there was nothing to 1t for O'Connell, who twirled six innings and Joe Brennan, who did the last three were invinci- ble and allowed but five hits all told. Our team was in great shape and played like professionals. Tom my Lawlor was power out in left held and George Gaffney was just it behind the bat. Fred Henebry, George Mulligan, Doc Mcdonald, Joe Daly. Frank Bergen and our two tWirlers were all in the game from start to finish and there was noth- ing to 1t but Waterbury 265. Fred Furness with his Sturdy Oaks ara the Hellmann and Eagle Brewing companies with their contributions enllvened the proceedings. The score:

Judge Taft, as the father of the secretary and the former secretary of war. attorney general, minister, tc Austria and to Russia, was called by his neighbors. was the type of mar that one pictures when one thinks of a. judge of the old American \ school. With all of his austerity however, there was mingled with Il a humanity and an appreciation oi physical prowess which have been augmented by his son. ~
 On one occasion he saw two or three of the Mount Auburn boys now young men, passing his house in the early evening. There was something in their manner which compelled the judge to ask them where they were going.
 We are going down to see Null doom wrestle at the - theater, one of them admitted
 Boys, do you think the theater where you are going is the proper place to go?" he asked, in kindly tone.

 The eyes of the judge kindled. 7, Wait. boys" he said, until I get on my shoes. Do you know, I like those trials of strength, and I'd like to go along with you.'''
 The judge went into the house while the boys waited. After few moments he returned and said he would not be able to go It Is sur missed that Mrs Taft was responsi- ble for the fact that he. did not see Muldoon win the worlds champion ship.
 An another time when John L.. Sullivan was in Cincinnati, Judge Taft asked him to go to his office. He obeyed the summons gladly, for Judge Taft was well known man. When he entered the office of the elder Taft. the latter apologized for his odd request, and said that he was interested in men of big phy- sique. He asked if the noted prize fighter had any objection to per- sonal inspection. Mir Sullivan said he had not. and the judge, himself we'll built man, asked him to en- ter the private office. There he went over the frame of the champion with a growing sense of appreciation, as If he were a connoisseur and the fighter a statue.
 | Well, sir." he exclaimed. you are surely a marvellous specimen. But let me tell you; sir, I. wanted you up. here to decide if you're a vat Will"
 "Well?" grinned Sullivan.
 We'll, said the judge. you'll have to pardon me. sir, but you are not. My Will Is the better man"
 Years afterward the ex-champion and twill" met in the executive of fees at the White House. The two big men compared weights and Sul- livan remarked afterward:
 You know all big men are all right If you just let them alone. They will take lot and stand for good deal, until they get going. but when they do get started they go like -" This was the ex- pugilist's way of complimenting the secretary Of war.-New York Fri. | bune

SOMETHING IN \ NAME.

The full name of Logan, second baseman for Worcester. is Thomas Logan Sullivan. which few patrons of the game know. He refused 10 go to Springfield of the Connecticut league some years ago after te had signed with Roge, Connor, then manager. Being barred by organ ized base ball from playing else where, he went to the rri-State out laws and played under his middle name. He cannot nov change back to Sullivan. or his whole base ball record would be wiped out.-Lynn Item.

SIXTEEN INNINGS OF IT.

Bridgeport, July 10.-It was a good thing for Holyoke that Baker kicked himself out of the game in the fifth inning for Bill Hayward, who replaced him gave the Tighers a 16- inning triumph over Bridgeport, by clouting out home run as the shades of night were falling. The score was 4 to 5. It was slashing hit and caused the Park city rooters to tear their hair. There was no one out at the time Bill made the circuit
 The battle was the most exciting seen in these parts in many moons. Waller, the Bridgeport star. and Car son Hodge, the spitball artist of the Tighe brigade, covered themselves with glory. Hodge deserves great credit for the way he turned the Ora tors back to the bench in the fact of the hostile crowd. He gave 14 hits, but in dangerous situations was an iceberg proposition. Waller had a weak team behind him so he had to do most of the work himself. He famed 15 and allowed a3 safeties.
 Boucher led with the stick, having a double and three singles. Bill Hay ward, with home run and a double, was next. Burke, Ahearn and Mas sey were also mighty with the cudgel. The score:

HARTFORD WON FIRST CAME.

Hartford, July 10.-The base ball team Of Hartford lodge of Elks won their first game in the Elks' league series yesterday afternoon at the Wethersfield avenue grounds, de- feating the Middletown Elks 22 to l7. The local Elks practically won the game in the third inning. when they pounded Fisher. the Middletown pitcher, for thirteen hits, coupled with a few errors and twol wild pitches, yielded seventeen runs. This is supposed to be a record in a mod ern base ball game. at any rate it is the record for runs iu one inning in the Elks' league. Outside of this in- ming the Middletown Elks had the better of the argument and they claim that this inning would never have happened if some Hartford Elk hadn't stolen their mascot, a lamb.
