THE POPULAR MANSFIELD.
Rockland Boy Who Pitched at Holy
 Cross Signs With Meriden.

The Worcester Gazette has the fol- lowing pleasant words to say about Mansfield of Rockland, pitcher at Holy Cross:
 James E. Mansfield of Rockland, Mass, is another of this years team, who will close his college baseball ca reer with the present squad for four years and for the past two seasons has been the premier pitcher. Last year when things looked dark for a good team on Mt St James all eyes were turned to Mansneld. each with a look of doubt as to his ability to maintain the standard set by his pred ecessors. but when the season opened Mansfield was not found wanting in ability and he led an inexperienced team through a glorious season.
 This year Mansfield has alternated with Jim Dowd in the box, and when not pitching he was found support ing his fellow box artist m right field. where Coach Carney would play him because of his wonderful ability at the bat. His quiet manner and pleasing disposition have made him a favorlte with those who patronize the college games and his ability and cooi-head- edness have won many victories for blm and his alma mater. Mansfield will be graduated this year and in this way Holy Gross will lose one of the most popular players that ever wore the college uniform"

HARTFORD NosED OUT VICTORY

Springfield, June 19.-A frantic ninth inning rally brought us on even terms with our Hartford rivals at the park yesterday, but the invad- CTS had the endurance and steam, nosing us out in the tenth, to 4. The skirmish was spicy and hot, with enough costly bungles to exasperate and delight, but there was more ex- asperation than pleasure, as we could not offset our misplays with telling swats. Only once did we consolidate our raps. The score:

Pugilist Who Killed Another in a Fight Was Not Wanted More
 Fight News.

Philadelphia, June 19.--Johnny Hogan, the local professional boxer. who delivered the blow that dealt death to Marine Peter c. Hagan in a bout on the battleship Mississippi at League island navy yard Wednesday night, yesterday tried to surrender himself to both state and federal au- thorities. Neither was willing to take him into custody. First he of- fered himself to police lieutenant, who sent him to the city hall, where Magistrate Gallagher and District Attorney Rotan declined to have any thing to do with the case, as the kill ing had happened on government property. At the federal building Assistant United States District At torney Douglass also declined to re- ceive his surrender, saying he would do nothing until the navy yard au- thorities filed official information in the case.
 Surgeon Brownell of the Missis- sippi expressed, the opinion that a blow over the heart had killed the marine.
 Rear Admiral Pendleton, com mandant of the navy yard, appointed a board of naval officers to investi- gate the affair.

pEyoTEEs OF THE DERBY.
Never Go to Any Other Horse Race
 and Thousands Never Miss It.

It is a striking evidence or the fascination of the Derby that It not only attracts thousands of spectators who never see any other horse race, but that many of it's devotees inake a point of never missing 1t II they can possibly get to Epson. ,
 Only short time ago there died an old resident of Epson who had seen no fewer than 80 Derby mn ishes ''Payo," the chief of the sporting department of the Morning Post saw his first Derby as loug .go AS 1842, and is said to have seen every subsequent race for the Blue Ribbon for more than 50 years James Weatherby surpassed even this record, for after seeing the COT onel and Cadland run their mem- orable dead heat in 1928 he was on the spot to cheer every subsequent Derby winner, including Lord Rose bery's Ladas in 1894, 66 years later. The notorious Duke of Queensberry -"Old o."-saw Diomed win the first Derby in 17S0 and did not miss d single race until his death, So wears later. while Lord Palmerston is said to have spent Derby day at Epson at least half hundred times
 Both the Derby and the Oaks owe their names to that Earl of Derby who kept a pack of staghounds near Epsom during the last quarter or inc eighteenth century and resided at a hunting box called the oaks. Fifty years later a spiteful descrip- ton of the Oaks and its jockeys was recorded In the, diary or Charles Greville. In the report or the first Derby run the names or five starters and of all the riders are missing and there Is no betting quotations.
 As the earliest known bookmaker, yauxhall Clarke, was hanged, not for welshing, but for highway rob bery. betting on the racecourse could not at that period have been a par ticularly profitable profession. Jock eys did not then possess their pres ent princely salaries, but with a fee of a guinea were more richly re- warded than those of King James I, who were regaled by our British Solomon, with long speeches de- livered half in Latin and half in Caledonian.

COLLEGE GAMES.
Yale Got Good Trimming From
 the Harvard Team.


 Cambridge, June 19.-Harvard administered a stinging to 1 de- feat to Yale in the first of their dia- mond series on Soldiers field yester- day afternoon. Fourteen thousand gay spirited class merrymakers Wit messed the contest, which was one sided and Harvards day all the way. Yale was completely outclassed ana put up listless exhibition of base ball.
 Hartford kept the visitors entirely at bay, save in the third inning, when the punching of three hits gave Yale her solitary tally. The Ellis touched Hartford for seven hits. but 12 were struck out. On the oth- CT hand three Yale pitchers were sent through the mill, Jones, Van Week and Rose, the latter farlng best.
 Harvard everlastingly trounced Jones and after five runs had been scored off him he was relieved by Van Week in the middle of the third inning and Rose took the box in the fourth. With Rose Harvard immediately filled the bases, but for tunately for Yale there was no more scoring by the Crimson.
 Throughout not an error was reg istered against Harvard. A couple of hits and fast base running brought the home team two runs the first time up. In the second a smashing drive to center tallied Simons, and in the third Pitcher Jones's flight skyward forced two men home. Harvard will meet Yale again at New Haven on Tuesday. The score:

GREAT FOR NEW BRITAIN.

New Britain, June 19.-New Bri. tain won from Holyoke to yester- day afternoon, in the most spectacu-
 lar game of the season on the local grounds. In the ninth, the score was tied by Holyoke in a sensational way and was in the same inning broken by the home team in an equally striking | manner, and the fans hugged them selves with delight in the end.
 A loud call was made for Lavender in the sixth and he soon came on the field to save the game for the visitors. Lavender got his team out of the deep mire but the team could not hit Chap pie Ward to overcome the lead of two that the Mountaineers had. When the ] ninth opened, the grandstand began to clear. Two outs had been rung up by the local players. when unexpect- edly home run tied the score. Ham, land brand new ball at the same time was put in the game. Perkins caught 1t squarely on his bat, 1t sailed over left field fence and both men scored.
 The fans settled back for a dozen inning game at least, for the locals had as yet been unable to score since Lavender was put in. Marsans open ed by striking out. An old ball was then put in by the ump, much to the disgust of the fans, and Waterman erdeavored in vain to have him change it. Almeida got first and while Waterman was at the bat was | coached off for second. He made a great try for the sack, but the visitors were expecting it and he was caught. With two outs against the Mountain eers Waterman got first and then Me- Cabe came up and knocked one of Lavender's spitfires for a clean two base hit, while Waterman sped around the sacks and home, and settled the game. The score:

BASEBALL NOTES.
Bridgeport here to-morrow.

Bridgeport here tomorrow.
 Jerry Nops or Waller may twirl.
 A few more prize dollars might spur the boys to a run of victories.
 That home run of Campbell's will not be duplicated in a hurry. It was one of the peculiarities of the baseball game.
 Charley Kennedy was the umpire yesterday and there was one thing about his work that pleased. He gave us our share of the close decis- ions.
 Dan o'Neil would sooner lose a weeks salary list than to drop that game to Hartford yesterday. The Runaways certainly have the stay ing power and make good use of 1t.
 Spec" Paine. the Brown catcher who is the subject of discussion be- tween the Waterbury and New Ha- ven clubs was on the bench yester- day. Durant will make a fight for the player If necessary.
 Kid Mccormack may be back h this league once more. Holyoke is making a bid for him and so is Springfield. Holyoke needs some rejuvenating power to get her out of the slump she is in.
 There has not much been heard lately about Danny Singleton and Jim 0'Rourke. Danny is playing the greatest kind of baseball and the wonder is that he was let slip out of the league. if he has slipped.
 George Laehanee has decided 10 remain at his home in Waterville in- stead of going away to play ball. He will play with the Independents at Torrington Saturday and may play with the team throughout the sea- son.
 New Britain is going along mer- rily and the fans over there are proving their loyalty. The Demo- 'crst writer claimed from the first that if New Britain got any sort of good baseball the town would he a paying venture.
 Another such game as that of yesterday and the fans will flock back by the hundred. All the team needed was a little elixir of life, for some of the players certainly were going to the bad and defeats were correspondingly rapid
 With the score tied at $ to 8 yes- terday Manager Durant offered the players a dollar for each run scored and another dollar for every player who drove in a run during the re- mainder of the game. Nichols earn cd three bones and Fitz and Camp bell one each for scoring and Null laney and Shincel got two each for driving in the runners
 Manager Dowd said yesterday that there was no truth in the statement in a Springfield paper that he was trying to get Drury. a BinEhsmpton catcher. Rice. the college pitcher. vas taken to Spring field yesterday. but there was no oe- easion to use him It is expected that he will be used against Water bury to-day. Hogan Yancey says that if Rice pitches here the way De did in fhe west. there will be cleanup.
