ATHLETES AT BRooKLINE.
Winners of Places To-Day Will Run
 in Finals To-MorT0W.

Brookline, Mass, May 22.--Ath- letes, fleet and strong, from eleven colleges in New England, were par ticipants to-day in the elimination events of the annual track and field meeting of the New England inter collegiate athletic association on Technology field. The winners of places in to-day's preliminary con tests will meet tomorrow in the finals. ..
 It was expected that the trials to- day would give Dartmouth the lar gest number of participants in to- morrow's events and the opinion of the followers of track athletics gen. erally coincided with the hopes of the supporters of the green, that Dart mouth would retain the champion ship which they won last lear. Am herst, Brown and Technology were each regarded as the likely winners of second place.
 Trial heats in all the events, with the exception of the 100 yard dash, were arranged to-day, most of the classes being reduced to stage where only finals will be- necessary for decision.tosmorrow. Of last years champions, eight were cQntenders for honors again to-day and 1t was thought possible that several of the association records might be broken. The track, however, was heavy from yesterdays rains and the conditions were not regarded as conducive to record breaking exhibitions.

Bristol. May 22.-George w. Hull, the well known young temperance agitator and prohfbitionist of this town and the editor of the Bristol Prohibitionist, announced in the issue of his paper yesterday that he had recently received the largest kind of a turn down. from the edi- tor of the Liquor Merchants Trade Journal. printed at Hartford. Mir Hull is on the alert 10 gain all the information he can from the liquor dealers, and desiring some time ago to learn what the Hartford liquor paper had to say about the cause he Is so much. interested in, he sent them a check for s2. a years sub scription. and wrote he would like to have the paper sent to him for a year. The announcement of what became of his desire to get the paper vas made yesterday when Mr Hull said editoriaIly in hts paper that the editor of the liquor mems journal kept the check few weeks and then returned it to Mr HuIl vita a polite No, thank you.'

 Fred Klobedanz, formerly of this city, pitched his first game in Brock ton Wednesday against Fall River, and although Fall River made but seven hits of his delivery his team was beaten to 1. The team back of Klobedanz did no hitting.
 There is trouble down New Haven way. The players have received no pay since the first of April and they have appealed to Secretary U'Rourke. Danaher must be paid something oyer s3.00O by June 1 or the team will be his again. Looks like Dana her once more.
 "Gill" in the Hartford Post comes out in a long article relative to off, cial scoring. He claims there is no official scorer in Hartford and that the averages are made up by Sid Challenger every week from any old score. Waterbury is without an of- ficial scorer, too, as the sporting writers of each of the three dailys disclaim any knowledge of such an appointment.

Omaha Police Shief Looking For EIoper se With Six Toes.

Omaha, Neb., May 22.-The police of Omaha are making systematic search for "a young woman with six toes. They began with the lodging houses. under the apprehension that the object of their search, an Iowa girl, supposed to have eloped, might be found in one of these places.
 Gertrude Keeney. Des Moines girl, is the object of the solicitude of her brother George, and in sending her description to the omaha police he particularly mentioned that she, has six toes on her left foot.
 Chief ;Donahue. although he feels some delicacy in forcing young women who cannot otherwise prove their iden- tity to remove their shoes and, display their left pedal extremity, thinks that is the only expedient,l and already half a dozen women have found it neces. sary to submit to the ordeal.
 George Keeney is not sure that his sister eloped, and 1t is not known whether, if she did, she is accompa. nied by a husband. The brother prom. ises to come to Omaha to identify any woman the chief may find to have six t0fS 7sH..4s. Hs

p,r OF WRESTLING NEWS.

Here is a bit of wrestling news taken from a Paris paper which may he of interest to Frank Gotch ana other American wrestlers who may some time find themselves in sim liar situation in this country:
 "The Civil Tribunal of the Seine has heard an action between two eminent professional wrestlers. NJ. Paul Pons cFrsncel and NJ. Ivan Padoubny Hussial The French champion is of opinion that the Terrible Cossacks methods of securing publicity at his expense and lowering his professional ranown by unworthy methods bring him within the law. and he asks for fl. 600 damages against the Russian, his impresario and two press agents.
 sN. Pons declares that he was en- gagged at a variety theater to wrestle for the championship of the world last October. under rules drawn up by a committee Of sportsmen. Disregard ing sIl propriety and regulation. says the plaintiff. M. Padoubny came to inc tbeater. escorted by his henchmen. and declared that he would back him self for fSoo to wrestle M Pons there and then.
 'sThis challenge was out of order, hut it was followed hy a display of posters in Paris. according to M POns declaring that he feared the Russian and the latter Is charged with seek ing to divert patronage 10 a rival establishment by publishing taunts to the effect that there could be no glory for a wrestler to meet M.

THE. PUGILISTS
THE BOUTS WERE
 NOT VERY ROUGH
Willie Fitzgerald and Jimmy Briggs Go Ten Rounds in Bridgeport
 Other Boxing News.

Down in Bridgeport last night be- tween seven and eight hundred lov- CTS of the fistic sport congregated in Eagles hall to witness one main battle of 10 rounds and two pre- liminaries of four and six rounds respectively. Willie Fitzgerald of Brooklyn and Jimmy Briggs of Bos- ton were the contestants in the big affair. Dave Fitzgerald of New Ha- ven officiated as referee and man named O'Connor acted as timekeep- CT, that is he was keeping time, when he wasn't interested in watch ing the boxers. As soon as the F'itz- gerald and Briggs bout started, he seemed to lose all interest only for his fighting friend, Willie, and the consequences were the first round went about four minutes. Ike Will Hams was then delegated to keep tabs on the timer and prod him, when 1t was necessary to ring the bell
 The main bout saw a slugging in- fighter. rugged and strong, always coming in for more and giving out few himself, in the person of Jimmy Briggs. His many years in the ring stood him in good stead, for had he stood up toe to toe and boxed the fight would not have lasted 10 rounds. Fitzgerald is a two handed fighter and his long arms can reach man at almost any distance. Time and again he pushed Briggs away from him, try ing to get in either a left upper cut or a right swing. Briggs knew his book and he realized that his only hope lay in getting inside those long pendulums, that were aimed and swung so surely for his head and jaw. Occasionally Briggs would vary the monotony of hammering Fitzgerald in the ribs and stomach by making one of his high over blows, but there was not one of them that landed with full force. Fitzgerald did not seem to be eager for a knockout at that, but occa- sionally, as some of the body blows stung a bit, he would cut loose with lefts and rights until Briggs raced into close quarters again and a clinch resulted. There was no blood split on either side and while Fitzgerald might have had a shade the best of it, a draw would not have been bad decision. In long CT battle Fitzgerald would eventual ly win and by the knockout rout, too.
 The first preliminary was be- tween Ted Kelly of this city, and Tommy Lee of Brooklyn, and was scheduled to go four rounds. IL ended with the first. The boys were giving a fine exhibition when young Lee sprained two of the tendons of the left hand and was obliged to quit. Later he required the services of physician. Kelly appeared too strong for young Lee, who has made an excellent showing several times with Philly sMcGovern and was fioored three times last night in the few minutes he was in the ring. He appeared to have stage fright and unable to really show his ability.
 A six round preliminary between Thomas Nelson of Brooklyn, and Charles Goldman of New York, was good exhibition. The boys were evenly matched with Nelson slow but strong. Young Goldman arous- ed considerable enthusiasm over his style of uppercutting in the clinches. much the same as Fitzgerald has shown in previous bouts.

THE DIAMOND
BUT ONE GAME
 IN THE RAIN
Waterbury Lost a Close Game Up in Holyoke Yesterday After.
 noon-Otber News.

It all happened in the fourth in- ming, says the Springfield Republican. The combination of four hits and a base on balls coming at this period in the tilt between Holyoke and Wa terbury on the up-river prairies yes terday afternoon, were turned into three. runs, and Tighe's hired hands were on the long end of to 2 score at the finish. The game was a sharp pitchers battle between Jim my" Lavender and O'Drain. The Georgia boy had the better of the ar gument throughout. He allowed five hits to O'Drain's six,s was as steady as clock in tight places and used his head to good advantage. At no time did Waterbury look especially for midable, SO effective was Lavender's fiinging, and despite the closeness of the score the result of the struggle was never in doubt after the fourth inning. Waterbury did not have it's strongest lineup in the field, as Sin gleton, the dashing little shortstop, is out of the game with sprained ankle. Bronkie filled in at shortstop. Louis Lepine made his first appear ance in Holyoke in Waterbury uni form. He received hearty ovation by the small crowd when he stepped to the plate for the first time. Hol- yoke's lineup was somewhat chang ed Brodie was benched and Zam- loch, the ex-Tri-Stater, took his place in the field and led of at bat. Bou- cher was showed down to sixth hitter.
 A shower interrupted play in the second inning and for nearly 20 min utes the rain continued. After sprink- ling sawdust around the bases play was resumed and before many min utes the diamond was comparatively dry again. ,.s-, ...e. .s. -5....s z.s Previous to the fourth inning Hol- yoke had been unable to solve O'Drain for a hit, but the quartet of smashes lat this period upset the Holy Cross boys calculations for victory, and although he pitched effectively during the remaining sessions, Waterbury was unequal to the task of overcom- ing the lead.
