]. THE DIAMOND THE RACE IS A GOOD ONE Springfield Took 0ss Victory and
 Hartford Captured Two
 Other Rs,ulis.

Springfield, Sept. 10. = Murray Parker's magnificent pitching made Meriden submit meekly in Hampden park yesterday afternoon. and as 1t developed a fine home run by Tom Standard, coming with a man on second in the opening inning. would have been enough to insure Spring field victory. Meriden scored only once, poor throw by Burns in his haste to make double play and a sacrifice fly by Spud Murphy being responsible for that tally. Spring field added two more runs to those secured in the first inning.
 Parker's offering was punctured but twice. Ham Wade being the welter each time. one of the pair of safeties was in the nature of a scratch Mansfield pitched pretty good kind of game himself, the sixth inning being the only one in which he was found for more than one hit. Though he gave Meriden the chance to get its lone run, Jim mic Burns played swell game at short, eating up gfounders deep in his position and getting the ball to first accurately.
 Standards home run swat was a mighty clout, the ball skimming over the double-decker fence in left field just few inches inside the foul line. Maggert reached Mansfield for, two fine hits, one clean triple to right field and the other a scorch- ing single to the same section. On both raps Mickey Finn chucked in misplays, getting away poor throw that allowed Maggert to come home on the three-base smash and letting the single go through him so far that the runner reached third.

By Hart ford's double win Tuesday-and in- cidentally Manager Jim O'Rourke of Bridgeport declares he was. robbed the Senators made a slight gain, as Springfield played but one game.
 To-day Hartford has two games with Waterbury, and If they win the two, they will. be only two points behind Springfield, provided that the Ponies win their game In New Brit ain to-day. The percentage would then stand, Springfield .672, Hart ford .670. If Hartford. should win two, with defeat for Springfield, 1t will mean that to take the champion ship Springfield must take two from Holyoke tomorrow and then beat the Senators Saturday, unless Hart ford should succumb to New Haven tomorrow, in which case, the loss of one game to Holyoke wouldn't up- set the chances.
 Manager Hanna of New Britain suddenly discovered last night that he still has 8. postponed game with Springfield which he could have called for to-day if he had given no. tice in time. Manager Hanna re. gretted, he said, that he hadn't been aware that he had postponed game with Springfield, and he said he is eager to play 1t off. As there are nc morning papers in New Britain, and consequently no opportunity to noti. fly the public, double-header was out of the question for to-day. MT Hanna asked that the game be played Saturday morning and this plan may be adopted. Manager Han na says he doesn't care who wins the pennant, but that he is going to dc his best to win every game he plays When the Springfield team goes te New Britain to-day a decision. will be reached regarding the matter oi playing Saturday morning.
 Manager O'Rourke of Bridgepor is probably not so eager to see Hart ford win the pennant now as he wal before he had concluded his sched ule with the Senator's Notwithstand ing the fact that there Is no city or the circuit which browbeats an of ficial as the fans in Hartford do 1 there was no regular. umpire on hant for the games with Bridgeport yes terday.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Pitcher Lavender of Holyoke will start for Cuba about the 18th of the month, where he will play with. a team in Havana, of which Marsans and the other New Britain Cubans are members.
 The season of the Pennsylvania and West Virginia league has ended, with Uniontown as the pennant win CT. Uniontown in 1906 won the pen nant of the P. o. M. league and last year finished second in the latter.
 Farmer, who is catching for the Brooklyn Nationals, was in this league few seasons ago, at one time being on Uncle Jeems o O'Rourke's payroll He must have improved wonderfully since he de- parted from Bridgeport.
 Yesterdays Hampden park game tied the record for the season in the way of short engagements, the elapsed time being but an hour and eight minutes. The same teams fig ured in the other game played within that same space of time
 When Jim O'Rourke, the. Bridge port owner, stepped to the plate in the game with New Haven Tuesday. a fan named Henry Rutter shrieked at him: You ain't no good. You took your own son and sold him into captivity You .bartered your own boy and namesake to the New Yorks. You peddled out your own flesh and blood want to lick you" Rutter took off his coat and was wadine over the bleachers fence to get al o Rourke when the police nabbed him.
 Enthusiasm for the post-season series is at a low ebb and it will not be surprising if no series is played The league directors originally agreed that the four clubs finishing in the first division should post $50 each, the four teams to play for the purse of s200. Owner C1arkin oi Hartford has declined to state wheth CT or not Hartford will play in such a series now, despite the original agreement. but it is said he does not intend to play if his team doesn't win he pennant New Haven Is no, at all anxious for the series either, | Springfield and New Britain, are un- derstood to be ready to- live up to ! the agreement.

 New York, Sept. 10.-Fifteen thou sand persons at the Richmond county fair saw a balloon explode fifty feet from the ground and dash William Cobey and a lion cub to the earth.
 Cobey, who is eighteen years old ], and whose home is in Milwaukee. suf- fered badly injured spine and inter- nal hurts. He was hurried to the Smith infirmary at Tompkinsville. It was said he would probably die. The boy recovered consciousness at the in- tirmary and said the balloon had caught fire in some unknown manner. .s Cobey landed flat on his back, and the lion fell on top of him. They came U0Wn Ill tuc Iliuct Ol cCsCiai tuOuoduO persons who had gathered to see the balloon ascension,l which was. the last event on the programme.
 The lion cub was apparently unin. iured by the fall. He slunk away. In a sdazed way Frank Robinson, Cobey's manager, captured the cub.
 Mfr. Robinson was arrested by order of Inspector Russell and locked up at the New Dorp police station. It was claimed that the ascension was made when the apparatus was not in proper shape.
 The lion cub, ''Spikie." is fourteen months old and had made many ascen- lions with Cobey and Robinson. He peemed to enjoy the experience of go lnQ up in a balloon. He is tame and playful and was great fayorite with the children at the fair.

SOMETHING ABOUT POLO
Phil Jason Wants to be Referee Not
 a Player.

Here is what Bill Smith, president of the National Roller Polo league, writes in the Bridgeport Standard:
 Here's something that looks like a joke on Diamond Dick McMahon, the glittering manager of the Water bury polo team. Phil Jason, the rush with the lonesome curl right in the middle of his forehead, wants to quit the game and take a job as referee. Oh, Ezra, you careless rascal. Sg
 Philip has written to President Smith, of the National league, ask ing for authority to blow the whistle and call fouls. The application has been forwarded to Secretary J. w. Pyne, of Hartford, who selects the officials. Phil is living in Boston just now. He figures that with three Massachusetts cities the league will need a. referee up that way and he might as we'll dig up little change.
 The old boy doesn't give any reason for retiring from the slash ing game. Whether he's getting aldermanic or because polo is too much like work hasn't been discov- cred. But you'd think Phil would hate to see so much kale getting by when polo players are so scarce and the woods are full of referees. A referee doesn't get as much as a player and look at the names they call the poor whistle blower.
 With Jason acting queerly and Jigger Higgins threatening to be- come a manager himself, things are certainly breaking wrong for Mo Mahon. The only thing he can do is to get Jason and Higgins into a diamond trade and sting 'em.
 Fred Druehl has been mentioned for a referee in the National Roller Polo league for the coming season. There are many supporters of the game about the league circuit who are strong for the appointment of MT Druehl and will ask Secretary Pyne of Hartford when making out his list to seriously consider the ap- pointment of MT Druehl. Fred is by no means stranger to the polo game. He has served successfully as league polo referee and his .repu- tation as such, both for knowledge of the game and manner of fulfilling his duties warrants his appointment for the coming season. MT Druehl is one of Connecticut's best sporting men. He has umpired baseball games, refereed polo games and also refereed many boxing exhibitions, always being noted as fearless and l impartial official.

THE BATTLE FOR POSITION.

New Britain Sept 10.--The dan- naites froze out the Papermakers this afternoon at Electric park. 6 to o. It was a game which both teams were extremely anxious to cabbage owing to the bearing it has on the relative positions they occupy at the end of the race this week. The victory assures the Hannaites they are pretty safe in the position they now occupy and gives them a foot hold to overtake the Boneyards. The Papermakers did not have a look in on the game at any stage and were beat to standstill. The score:
