playing first base for St Louis and Dexter of the Beaneaters collided with him at the base in such a way as to cause the break. Yesterdays s fracture was the fifth.
 The visitors were forced to lose man through injury also. Barbour the third baseman, whom Manager Durant was after, was the unfor- tunate. He went after high foul from the bat of Bronkie in the fourth inning and although he caught the ball, he ran into the Ill., tie stone wall in front of the new grand stand and cut hole in his shin. Other features, aside from the unfortunate ones was the fine play ing of our infield. Singleton had the only error and that was an ex- cusable one, as he was blocked by~a base runner. The pitching of Bron- kie, too, created much comment. But three hits were made off his dellV- cry and those all in the seventh ln- ming. The injury to Nichols seemed to have affected everybody about that time. The hitting on both sides was very light and the old Norwich bunch seemed to have lost the Norwich aggressiveness under the Meriden name. Hugh Rorty was the umpire for the occasion and his work aside from few bad strikes called in the first inning, was gilt edged, The score:

STRAPHANGER DIES.
Little Old Man Who Had Given Up
 His Seat to Schoolgirl Falls.

New York, April 29,-Hugo Berg, of 237 West Fiftieth street, 70 years old, died in the Sixty-sixth street subway station Monday afternoon. He had tainted in a north-bound train after hanging to a strap from Fourteenth street. A physician summoned from Roosevelt hospital found him dead.
 The old man gave up his seat to a 15-year-old school girl just after the train left Fourteenth street, and, clutching a strap, read his newspa- per until the Strain had passed Co., lumbus Circle. Then he was ob- served to turn pale and drop his paper. He staggered over to the guard and gasped:
 'T cant breathe in this subway. You'll have to let me out at the next station" ~-.
 Then he fell in faint. The school girl screamed and rushed to his side, but he was unconscious. The guard picked the old man up he was not much heavier than a child-and laid him on the bench.

POET OF THE RING.

Here we have Bunny Ford, Who knows the boxing game, Kidd Kilt can fight some. But Bunny can beat him all the
 same. Jeff Doherty, the pride of this city, Who never was knocked out, Would take anybody at his weight, And put them down with square
 clout. He took on Johnny Darling, And of course you know our Jeff, Gave him q few punches in the face, And swift hook with his left. Ozzy Winters, the new boxer May be able to go some, But some of our old fighters. Will make him feel like Tom Thumb. And this same ozzy Winters, Well. perhaps he knows how to
 fight, .. But Bunny Ford thinks m He can floor him day or night.

BASE BALL NOTES.

We lead the league.
 But at what sacrifice.
 There is not a fan but feels sorry for Arthur Nichols.
 Taylor, the twirler for Meriden, looked easy enough but We didn't do very much to him at that.
 Joe O'Rourke, the ex-New Lon doner, is not good enough for the St Louis Nationals, according to the St Louis Globe-Democrat.
 If Cooney Rice would tend strict ly to business and pay less atten- tion to the remarks hurled at him. he might break into the regular staff.
 Little Singleton goes after the balls prettily and picks them up quickly and if he could only get against the ball with the stick with the same vim. he would make us Tor get little Joe O'Rourke.
 Left Fielder Rodgers and Pitcher Mclaughlin had continuous debate during the afternoon. and once Joe Connor and Tighe swapped sentences until the umpire stepped in between them.- Union.
 President Kennon of the St Paul American association base ball club announced that he had secured Pitcher Frank Farris from the St Louis American league for Sl.0OO more than he sold him 10 that club for last year.
 Manager Durant made Alderman Scnllv an offer after the game was over. but Martin refused 10 give out the secret of his pretzel curve. He wants that in case of emergency, when the sessions of the board of aldermen become too stormy.
 Pitcher Jimmy Lavender received package of greenbacks valued at s25 after the Holyoke game. "I am going to give that sum to every pitcher who beats Springfield this year." remarked Treasurer r. A. winkler as he made the presenta- tion. Hodge will go after the prize l to-day.
 Base ball is booming .n Panama. There is an eight club league down there and the rivalry is great. It is said that during a recent game more than si5.0O0 changed hands. Some big league players were down there last winter and picked in a lot of change. The season opened Novem. ber and will close June i.
