 A Yale professor told some students the other day that taking young women to a ball game is a necessary evil. He's wrong. It's neither evil nor necessary. We'll have to credit the prof an error on this play. the es- cOrt an assist and the lassie a hit or ielder's choice. On the next play the prof made a clean home run hy telling the youths not to allow their companions to wear M. w's-Spring- field Republican.

THE DIAMOND
WE DID THE
 TRICK SO SLICK
McNulty Pitched Fifteen Innings and Drove in the Winning
 Run--Other Results.

Bridgeport, May 30.-After a des- perate battle of 15 innings Bridge port bit the dust before Waterbury at Newfield park yesterday afternoon by the score of 6 to 5. It was the greatest game of the season and the small crowd of fans cheered the many sensational plays. The Ora tors played great ball throughout al- though they were weak with the stick in the later stages of the contest. Waterbury, too, played an airtight article of the national game, fielding in snappy fashion and bat ting in the timely manner that brings runs over the platter.
 After the seventh inning when Waller replaced Abbott, the contest developed into pitchers battle be- tween Waller and McNulty of the visitors. The honors really belong to McNulty although Waller must be given credit for a great exhibition. Still the Waterbury boxman went the entire 15 innings and at the fin- ish he was going better than at the start. 4s.----- -. .-
 Waller allowed five hits during the eight innings he worked, gave two passes and famed two. McNul- ty was touched up for 16 hits in 15 innings, gave two passes and famed three. In the closing in- nings his work was wonderful and he escaped from many tight situa- tions by heady twirling. With the score to 5 in the first of the 18th inning Singleton slapped single to center field and was sacrificed to sec ond by Lucia. Then McNulty won his own game by cracking liner to left on which Singleton tallied the winning run. Bridgeport could do nothing in its half of the 18th.
 The Orators tore off three runs in the first inning and it looked as if McNulty would be cinch. O'Rourke singled and tallied on Bertwhistle's two-bagger. Ladd walked and Cassidy proved himself timely hit ter by smashing screamer to cen- ter which brought Ladd and Bert whistle over the pan. In the fourth the locals got another on Ladd's sim gle, Cassidy's sacrifice and Hilts SdIeLy. Tn lH6 slAJh Noooiu' S double and Hilt's single brought Bridgeport's last run.
 Waterbury had been jogging along three runs in the rear but in the seventh Abbott weakened and the visitors looked dangerous. Me Nulty singled, Bastian walked and McNulty crossed the plate on Fttz- patrick's single. Waller was then called to replace Abbott. Swander sacrificed and Lepine's sizzler sent Bastian and Fitzpatrick over with the tying runs.
 Then the teams fought on for eight innings. Beaumont led off with a double in the 10th but nos body could bring him in. In the 18th and 14th there were two on bases but the timely hit wasn't on tap. The star play of the game was Ladd's catch of Bronkie's liner in the 18th. Eepine was on first at the time and as the hit looked good for three bases the fans thought 1t was all off. Ladd caught the ball with outstretched hands while run ming at top speed. The score:

WRESTLING
THE TIP FROM
 ONE WHO KNOWS
Promoter Carroll Talks About an Auburn Grappler Who is a
 Good One.

As the proposed Kelly and Swan son match has practically fallen through, owing to the inability of the promoter to get the men to put up sufficient guarantee to bind he match, Swanson is now trying in Qth- CT directions to get into the game with someone who would be apt to give him a trial. AS far as Kelly is concerned, Swanson believes it would be too easy a cinch for him and Kelly probably realized that fact. James $. Carroll, who has done more than any other man in the state to bring Wrest- ling into good repute, was asked last evening what the prospects were for match in the near future and whom he considered the best man that Swanson has beaten this year. MT Carroll spoke as follows:
 Whom do consider the best man that Alex Swanson has wrestled the past year? Charles Kaiser of Au- burn, N. Y. He is not only the best wrestler, but the hardest man to throw of them all. Just look at his record. He has beaten Al Alderman, Bartelle, Eugene Trombley, Ed OCon- nell and last but not least, Harvey Parker, the Little Demon. He also has made new record in the wrest- ling world, for only last week in East Syracuse, he agreed to throw ten wrestlers in one hour. He put ten of them away, but because Of his great exertion in the last bout he broke rib and had to forfeit the match. He also stayed nearly twenty minutes with Champion Frank Gotch, before he was put to the mat. He has height, reach, a splendid physique and in his match with Swanson it was one of the prettiest contests that was ever pulled off. It was nip and tuck battle, until Kaiser threw out one of his shoulders. Later on I am going to try and induce Kaiser to come to Waterbury and meet Swan son here and if he does you will see one of the greatest arguments on the mat in the history of wrestling in the Brass city"

WRIGHT DESCRIBES MACHINE
orville Confident Aerial Navigation Problem Is Solved.

Dayton, O., May 30.-Orville E. Wright, one of the Wright brothers, stated that he and his brother have solved the aerial navigation question to the extent that. barring accident, they are sure to fulfill their contract with the government for a flying machine that will stay in the air one hour and travel distance of five miles and re- turn at rate of forty miles an hour.
 Here is Mir. Wrights description of the machine, which differs from other fiiers in that it is much more compact:
 Approximately it consists of a boxliks frame forty feet wide, seven feet long and seven and half feet deep. made of spruce and ash. At the center and top front is front rudder. a feature which the wrights introduced and which has proved superior to the old method of rear rudder.
 In the center to the rear Is the tail of the machine, approximately twelve feet in length. less than one-third the length

 QUIT THE GAME
Terrible Terry Has DOnnsd His Last Fighting Togs- Other
 Fight News.

Terry McGovern will never enter the ring to fight again. The former Brooklyn Terror" realizes that he's ''all in as a factor in the pugilistic world. His recent fight with Spike Robson proved this, and it is only to be regretted that Terry did not retire weeks ago, or at least immedi- ately after his meeting with Young Loughrey. He would have been spared the suspicion of, either know ingly or unknowingly, being party to bout that had many ear marks of a job"
 McGovern will take with him in his retirement the best wishes of the sporting public who admire game fighter. The formal announcement of Terry's decision to quit the rin9 for good was made by Joe Hum- phreys, who has been McGovern's g manager for years.
 McGovern and Young Cor5ett will play base ball in the small towns this summer and next fall Terry will go into business. "McGoveln has plenty of money, thanks to his friends" writes his manager, 'and he will be o K in future."

and proprieties which has won gen. eral admiration.
 The cardinals frankness of mind and freedom from affectation, his Celtic wit and the glimpses of his human side beneath the church robes have combined to endear him to men of all creeds. The vatican could have no more efficient legate in America than he has proved him. self.
 It is fact of curious interest that of the throng of visiting celebrities within year, princes, authors, lec- turers, artists, diplomated chefs and all, the three who have left perhaps the deepest impression were church. men-the archbishop of Canterbury. the bishop of London and Cardinal Logue. Through Bishop Ingram's $ tennis match with the president and the Irish cardinals experience in a shooting gallery a new view has been gained of the accomplishments of church dignitaries.-New York World.

Naughty Rube Waddell has re- turned to the American league fold. The Rube, who has been playing hockey for a week, reported to Man ager McAleer of the Browns in a penitent mood. He was soon in a uniform and practiced pitching 'em over before the game.
