BRITONs BAD LOSERS.
It was Your Peep Sights, They Said, . When Americans Beat Them.

New York, July 27.-Major c. B. Winder of the National Guard of Ohio, who was on the American rife team at the Olympic shoot. returned Friday by the American liner Phila- delphia. declaring that he was not surprised at the charges of unfair ness against the English in the ath- letic sports concluded Saturday at the stadium. Major Winder said:
 The English are bad losers. They were very disagreeable after our team defeated them. attributing our victory to the peep sights. We'll, we have had the peep sights for fifteen years and there was no reason why the British could not have adopted them also if they had thought we'll of them. Our rifles were the regula- ton army patterns. costing SIS each. The English team had special rifles costing from SIS to s100, but I did not hear anybody kick about them. They were friendly and hospitable enough until they saw that they had no chance to win and then they be- came unpleasant. am not sur prised. therefore, to hear that charges of unfairness were made against the English. They have all ways been ready with an excuse after a defeat"

O'HAGAN IS FINED.
Waterbury Captain Punished by
 the President of the, League.

<, Hartford, July 27.-President
 William J. Tracy of the Connecticut
 League of Baseball Clubs yesterday
 notified Captain Harry O,Hagan of
 the Waterbury team that he was
 fined $50 for assaulting and using
 abusive language to Umpire Wilkin-
 son and for refusing to leave the
 game when ordered to in this city
 last Friday. President Tracy said
 that when he received a report of
 the case from the umpire he felt
 like suspending the offending play CT but owing to the low standing that the Waterbury team has in the
 race he did not<want to do anything to, cripple the team But he. noti-
 fled 0'Hagan that if he received an- other complaint about him he would put him out of the business for good. President Tracy said that at the next meeting of the league, the directors would collect $100 from Manager Durant of Waterbury for allowing the game to be forfeited here. Last season there were few clubs that forfeited games and the ANC "oo hVt SoiiCttSu put lle pIcS- ident says that these fines will have to stand this season. President Tracy heard from a number of in- fuential patrons of the game here in regard to the fiasco on Friday and 1t was decided that something would have to be done to protect the patrons from such childish work.
 President Tracy said last night that he was determined to stamp out rowdyfsn on the diamond in this league and that every manager or player who struck an umpire would be fined $50 and suspended for 10 days. Every player who uses abusive language to an umpire is to be suspended for three days and fined. A system of fines is to go mo effect at once for players who try to show up an umpire on balls and strikes decisions. The president said that there was nothing that in- famed the fanatics at a game more than to get an idea from a | player that the umpire was robbiug him on strikes. In the American l league catchers are not allowed 10 pull a wide ball around in front of | a plate and ask for a strike. It is expected that this rule will be adopt ed here as all the umpires are in favor of it.

THE AMATEURS
GREAT GAME WAS
 PLAYED YESTERDAY
Rosebuds and Laurels Had a Con. test For Blood --- All the
 Others.

The bitter rivalry between the Rosebuds and the Laurels of the Junion league brought those two teams together yesterday and report has it that hundreds of dollars changed hands on the result of the game. George Mulligan was select ed as the man to hold the indicator and he did 1t satisfactorily. The rooters were about evenly divided, and how they did cheer for their re- spectiye teams. The twirlers, Stig- berg for the Rosebuds and Kinney for the Laurels, were both in excel lent form and held the hits down to the lowest margin. The errors, too, on each side were the same number, but the Rosebuds pulled out a vic tory by opportune hitting and some misplays. It was a well fought bat tie and at the close the winning twirler, Stigberg, received an ova- ton from his friends and the back CTS of the. Rosebuds, who pulled out the winners. The score:

WITH THE POOLIsTs.
Meriden Just Grazed Over the Line
 Winner,

Closely pressed by Hartford and New Haven and with any team a likely winner, had Saturday been fine and some big scoring was done, Meriden carried home the colors last week in the pools for the Con necticut league. It was one of the closest races yet and many were watching the tape to see just who was going to play on Saturday and who was not going to play, because of the inclement weather. Hartford did not play. but yet tied with New Haven for second place. one run be- hind the winner. It was a closely fought contest all around in the run making line.
 The Pittsburg team in the National league were leaders not only in the league race but also in the pools last week. They came out strong on Sat urday with seven runs and jumped six ahead of the nearest competitor. In the American league Chicago was the one good thing, having a com manding lead of seven runs over the next team. This was made possible by the twelve runs made by Chicago on Saturday. The following are the pools in the three leagues:

THE DIAMOND
LOST ONCE MORE
 TO THE BONES
BroDkie Was Hit Just About tbe Right Time-- Results of All
 Other Games.

Waterbury was again defeated by New Haven yesterday simply because the New Haveners hit the ball just when hit would mean something. Bronkie pitched good ball, but he was found when an opening presented itself for the visitors to crawl through. The same number of hits were made on both sides but New Ha- ven had the lucky tag attached to hers and consequently rang up the change. "Soxy" Lyons oflciated for the first time as an indicator holder and he was watched closely by Super visor Kennedy. To say that his work was gilt edge would not be exag- gerating. He is the best umpire that has been here this season on balls and strikes and the hope is that he keeps 1t up. There was not kick during the game and that is strange, too, especially with such a big crowd present. It was the biggest Sunday attendance this season from the looks of the stands. In the main stand the scene was enliyened by lively tilt between two of our prominent men in the city, but friends of each soon put quietus on the rumpus. The score:

BOY KILLED AT A BALL CAME.
Outfielder at Newark. Running for a
 Fly. Knocked Him Down.

Edward Mccarthy, 2 years. old, of 22s Sixteenth avenue, Newark, was fatally injured while watching baseball game in that city yesterday. Otto Boiz, one of the players, in running after a high fly knocked him down and the boys skull was fractured. He died a few hours later in the City hospital. Boiz was arrested and will appear in court this morning. when charge of manslaughter will be made against him.
 The game was between the Iron sides and National Turner's and 1t was played at Eighteenth avenue and South Fourteenth street. Boiz was playing left field for the Iron sides and Mccarthy was in deep left near the foul line. The score at the time was 2 to 1 in favor of the lronsides and great excitement prevailed.
 In the seventh inning a batter hit a high fly 10 Boiz's territory and the fielder made after the ball. A num- Der of grown persons were sitting on the ground where Mccarthy was, but the boy was slow in getting ont of the way. Boiz did not notice the youngster and his knee struck Me Carihy under the chin as the latter vas arising. throwing him back. ward on his head.
 An ambulance was summoned and Mccarthy taken to the hospital. The was finished and there was no change in the score. After the game Boiz was arrested. Scores of wifi nesses say the collision was purely accidental.

BRASS CITY LEAGUE.

The Brownies and the Trimmers had a warm battle in the Brass City league yesterday. Both were tied for the first place and the contest was naturally fiercely fought one. Spectators at the game say that some of the tactics pursued by sev- eral of the players might go on a football field but not in baseball. However everything seemed to go yesterday and the war waged hotly from beginning to end. It took II innings to settle the dispute and the umpire has not yet recovered from the strenuous work he was obliged to endure. There was a protest, that was natural to expect in such a game. The Trimmers, who lost, claimed they had been un- fairly treated, but the umpire de- cided adversely. Their protest was taken cognizance of. however, and may he thrashed out later. There were several mixups in the latter part of the game with the Brownies on the offending end, but there were no dead or dying carried from the field. so the umpire slept peacefully last evening. It was a game for blood and though none was spilled. there were times when the blow seemed imminent. The score:

THE LIoNIzNG OF DoRANDo.
Somewhat Hysterical Tributes to Man Who Didn't Win Marathon.

London, July 27.-The lionizing of Dorando, the Italian who did not win the Marathon race despite his heroic effect to do SO. bids fair to become a fashion. The papers re- late how a fashionable woman un- clasped her bracelet from her arm as the Italian was leaving the sta dium Friday and fastened 1t on his wrist. and how a workman, win tears In his eyes and a lump in his throat. thrust a shilling In Doran- dos hand, exelaiming: Its all I've got. but take it."
 A subscription for a souvenir for the disappointed athlete has been starred and the donations already exceed $500. An enterprising music hall manager persuaded Dorando to appear on the stage. but on second thought the Italian seems to have been convinced that such a course would be undignihed He says he signed the contract in a moment of excitement and that be will appear for a week only. giving his salary 10 some charity.
