HARTFORD TOOK ROTH.

 Hartford. July 1I.-Yesterday was Hartfords day and there was gloom in Springfield last night. O'Neil's warriors came to town yesterday, full of confidence after the two victories from Hartford last week, but Dowd's men paid the debt then contracted, getting both games of the double e-header played on the Wethersfield avenue grounds and 5000 people saw the indebted ness wiped out, and the tie for first place broken. While both games were as close as sheath gowns, they were in marked contrast, the first being free hitting game which the home team won, 6 to 5, while the second was pitchers battle be- tween Schuman and Powell, in which not a run was scored until the eighth inning and then one only, which was the solitary score of the game. The scores:

Bridgeport, July 11.-Bridgeport was soundly trimmed by Meriden. 1 to o, yesterday in fast and well played game at Newfleld pary, the principal feature of which was the perfect fielding and heavy hitting of the Meriden team.

right TO control them, which is a view
generally taken by club members in all
cities. But in Pittsburg the club men
have not attempted to make a test
case. They have not defied the author
titles so far, but it is reasonably GER
tain that a test will be made in the
near future
The outcome will be awaited with a
great deal of interest. 1t is a well
known fact that when all the saloons
are tightly closed the bars maintained
in the clubs are wide open. Any mem
Der can drink what he pleases or as
much as he pleases and there is no
interference from the police. Some
clubs have rules which prohibit men,
bers from treating non-members on
Sunday, but this is about the only linn
itation.
It is argued that the club is the
home of its members, and it is actual
ly the home of numbers of them. The
club people say that the police author
titles have no more right to invade the
sanctity of a chartered club than they
have to invade a private home; that
the closing of a club bar or the allow
ing of it to remain open is entirely OPP
tional with the club. A decision from
court on this point would make very
interesting reading.

in a theatre just after he was matched
to fight Sullivan, and waylaying James
i'm a barrOOm next door challenged the
latter to a rough-apd-t battle then
and there.
Mitchell had Paddy Slavin with him,
and both were drunk. They called Cor
bett all sorts of names, but James SIM
ply would not fight, and finally with
drew from the scene, but not until after
a bystander had punched Slavin in the
mouth, while Fatty Langtry, a Bowery
tough. had threatened Mitchell with an
empty bottle. After that, Mitchell in
suited Corbett repeatedly in the street
and in various hotels, but Gentleman
Jim" waited until he got the blowing
EngliShman in the ring at Jacksonville,
when the latter became a veritable
chopping block.
Not long after that incident Mitchell
and Slavin fell out. They clashed in a
London resort, and though Slavin had
an immense advantage as to age, weight
and condition, Mitchell treated him to a
terrific h-and-tumble beating. In
fact, Mitchell for years was regarded
as a champion barroom fighter both
here and in England.
Jim Hall of Australia, one of the clev-
crest pugilists who ever drew on a
glove, met his match once in ParsOn
Davies, the sporting man, who was
Halls manager at the time. They were
at dinner one evening in Detroit when
they suddenly got into bitter argu-
ment. Hall picked up a bottle with
which to knock Davies out, but the lat
ter was too quick for the Antipodean
He grabbed carving knife and
the pugilist to a hospital for several
weeks. When Hall recovered. he came
east and asked the late Warren Lewis tC
become his manager
why, what's the matter with the
Parson?" asked Lewis. Isn't he good
enough for you?"
"Oh, he's too bloomin' rude" replied
Hall, with a grin. Look at this nasty
scar on me throat
Shortly after this episode Hall went
to England, where he knocked out Tod
Pritchard in 1892. After that victory
Hall had a good time around London
until he met Mitchell A quarrel fol
lowed and the men came to blows
They went at each other with bare
knuckles, hammer and tongs style
Those who witnessed the affair said that
Mitchell had much the better of the
argument, for Hall, satisfied that he had
met his match outside of the ring, quiz
cold after about six minutes of inces.

Because a man may be a good fighter
in the prize ring under Marquis OF
Queensberry rules, it does not always
mean that ne can win a go-as-you- please
or rough-and-tu encounter outside
of the fstic arena. Many a ring cham
pion has met his match in the highways
and byways of everyday life where sci
ence and rules do not count.
John L. Sullivan has had in his long,
strenuous career as many battles out
side of the ring as inside of it, and on
several occasions he has received the
worst of barroom or street braWls.
William Hogarty, a Boston barber, who
was a close friend of Sullivan, made the
pig fellow run for his life one day. The
row occurred in Hogarty's shop. Sulll-
van. who was drinking heavily at the
time, called the barber some nara
names, and finally aimed terrific blow
at the latter's face.
Hogarty, however. was too quick Tor
the burly Boston pugilist, then cham-
pion of the world, for, grabbing up a
heavy water pitcher, ne struck Sullivan
such a stunning blow on the head that
John went down for the count. Some
friends interfered then, and Sullivan
coming to his senses, hurried TO the
nearest drug store to be patched up
Several years ago Sullivan was visit
ing up in Jimmy Wakely's saloon at
Sixth avenue and Forty-second street,
when he began to abuse Wakely, &C
cusing him of having been party TO
the alleged drugging OF John Il. IN the
latter's fight with Jim Corbett in New
Orleans. Wakely was one of sullivan

hooked a blow that sent Sullivan
sprawling on the floor, and while ne lay
there. dazed and ratified, some say
WakeIy kicked the former champion n
the eve. Whether this was so or not,
the fact remains that Sullivan went TO
his hotel with the worst looking shin
er" that ever decorated his lighting
face. This little rough house affair
broke up a friendship of twenty years
standing, for Sullivan and Wakely nave
never spoken to each other since.
In other numerous impromptu battles
Sullivan has emerged at the little END
of fine horn. Herbert Slade. the Maori
whom John L. licked in three slashing
rounds in Madison Square Garden III
1881. made the big fellow cry enough
in a fierce rough and-tumble tight IN
Harry Maynard's saloon in Frisco while
thew were giving exhibitions together on
the road under the management OF Al
Smith. Sullivan was wrestled to the
floor and Slade was in the act of chok-
ing him when Smith jumped in and
pulled the Maori away. Sullivan ola
not try to retaliate when the men met
the next day.
Jim Corbett, who won Sullivans title,
never could be induced to fight outside
of the ring. Charles Mitchell, on one
occasion. hunted up Corbett on the
RnMerY. where the latter was showing
