BASEBALL NOTES.

Farewell visits are now in order around the circuit. Springfield made it's last scheduled appearance in Hartford yesterday and Holyokt in Bridgeport.
 If Waterbury could only break the run of hard luck tomorrow and trim Hartford the fans would be in a forgiying mood. Springfield will be praying for us, so that may helr some.
 The Boston Americans with Char lie Wagner will be here next Sunday for game with the Waterbury club Wagner is the greatest sticker in the business and is worth seeing.
 Dan o'Neil was the happiest man in, the state last night. for he won that first game in Hartford, which was the game ordered played over by the directors and which Rorty forfeited. E'.E
 There will be no game at Rockville tomorrow as 1t has been transferred to Hartford. where a double header may be played. Tom Dowd is a foxy chap and he Is working in many double headers at home this week.
 Joe Connor was one big noise in that first game in Hartford yester> day and his two sacker to the right garden brought two runs over the plate in the fifth inning, tying the score and paved the way for the vic. tory which followed.
 Mike McAndrews negotiated the prettiest capture of a fly ball that yesterdays games in Hartford pro- duced. He pulled a foul right of the row of rooters near the third base bleaehers on Harry Moves in the fourth inning of the first game.
 Yesterdays crowd in Hartford was good deal of a personal tri- bute to Dan O'Neil as some of the Hartford papers had advocated that a boycott be placed On Springfield. If o'NeiI needed any more of a win, dication than the league directors gave him, his players furnished i, yesterday.

OUTFITS LONG SWIM.

New York. Aug 26.-william J. Duffy, deputy in the internal rev enue department, made a second at> tempt to swim from the Brooklyn bridge to Sandy Hook yesterday. a feat which never has been accom- plished, but. as in his first attempt. he was prevented by a heavy sea from completing the full distance. MT Duffy. who is 55 years old, has often swam to Coney Island from the bridge.
 The start was made at 9:S0 o'clock yesterday morning. The swimmer was accompanied by sev- eral friends in a launch. It took a little more than half an hour to reach Governors island, and at 10:52 Duffy was opposite the Thir- ty-ninth street ferry. Here he took his first refreshments. some egg and sherry. At 12:0s the Crescent Ath- Ietie club was passed. and at this point the swimmer took more egs and sherry. Fort Hamilton was reached al 12:43 and Coney Islam. point al 1:40. A strong tide was encountered here. It has been the undoing of many a long distance swimmer. but Duffy. using the breast stroke, had no disHcuIiy ln passing st.
 Near Shoals Light Mr Duffy saw that t would be useless to continue because of the sea that was rum ming, and he climbed unassisted into the launch. During the entire swim he had not been assisted in zuv uav. The distance between the BrookIya bridge and shoals Light is nearly 11 miles and vas covered Ia hours 1z minutes.

THE AVERAGES.

With the exception of Maggert of Springfield, who has jumped into the lead again and McCabe of New Bri- tain, the batters find it hard to hold their own, and the pitchers are still doing notable stunts, with hits and runs quite scarce, says Sidney W. Challenger of Bridgeport, official scorer of the Connecticut league. As very few batters are making gains. it is doubtful if the 300 list is much increased during the three weeks of the now waning season. The only change this week brings in Armbrus- ter of Holyoke, who has played In but few games. in place of Dolan who had a poor week since his return from a brief vacation. McCabe of New Britain. has been one of the leagues most consistent stickers. lie is one of the few good 1eft-haded hit ters in the league. Maggert of Spring field has added strength to the south side batsmen. but the list is rather limited with the decline of some of the old-timers this season. The rec n-Hes

Errorless games are numerous. and Hartford and Springfield promise to break all previous records. Hartford now has 24 perfect performances. while Springfield can show 1s.

New Haven had the best record foR a club. back in 1904. when it showed no less than 26 perfect games. Hart ford ought to beat that easily In the next three weeks.

George Bothner, the lightweight champion wrestler, has received an offer from Charles Cochran, the English theatrical manager who first brought George Hackenschmidt to this country, to appear in England and throughout the United Kingdom, meeting all corners in the music halls. Cochran is now managing Zbysco, the mighty mat artist that defeated Padouborg, the Russian giant. and whom great many believe is really responsible for Hacks" illness and retirement, as Zbysco had presistently challenged the Russian Lion before the latter met defeat at the hands of Frank Gotch. .,..
 Cochran is anxious to have Bothner instruct Zbysco at catch-as-catch-can style of wrestling, as he is anxiuos to match the latter with Frank Gotch on a winner-take-all basis. -
 Bothner is still confident that he can defeat Eugene Tremblay, the French Canadian champion. and is now considering an offer to meet Bert Hudson. welter-weight cham pion of the south, at Columbia, S. C., where the' latter recently defeated Kid Sandow, of Chicago. Bob Som- meryille, the English wrestler who recently won the nine-stone-six-pound championship of England, will also be given chance to prove his ability, providing he will agree to wrestle at 135 pounds.

WRESTLING THIS MAN IS A GOOD ONE Duchesne Who Will Face Swanson Has Defeated Some of the
 Best Grapplers.

Many of the lovers of wrestling are asking who this Duchesne Is that is to meet Alex Swanson down in Naugatuck tomorrow night. He be- longs in Worcester, Massachusetts and Is called the French Wonder, '' because he has trimmed such men as Harvey Parker, Oscar Sundstrom, Burlington. Jim Gilligan and Vogle. Eugene Tremblay of Canada defeated him after three hours tussle and from this display of his ability it will be seen that Swanson. will not have any easy picking. Swanson knows that too and he win be in the pink of condition, when he faces the
 Frenchman. The latter will be sev- eral pounds lighter than Swanson, but that does not frighten hinu a lit tie bit and he, says he will be there with bells on, when the call of time
 is made. If there are any wrestlers in this city, who want to get on in
 the preliminaries, all they will have to do is to make application to Swan son and they can be accommodated. Four preliminary wrestlers are want ed and there should be plenty of tal- ent around the city, who would like to get on with each other or with
 some Naugatuck boy. s-t,,.. !.

MADE AN EVEN BREAK.


 Hartford, Conn. Aug 26.-That Hartford has a pretty good ball team was clearly demonstrated again yes- ] terday when the Senators held the coming Connecticut league cham pions to an even break, and, after getting well walloped in the first game, showed more sand in the sec ond than they have been generally credited with possessing. Tom Dowd's men deserve credit for the fine fight they made in the second game, after having been obliged to admit that they had met their mas ters when the Ponies. by taking the opening clash. had made 1t two out of three for Monday and yesterday.

HUSBAND TOLD
Of CRIME DAY

Now Mrs. F. G. Hughes, Former
ly of Newark, Wants Divorce
in Illinois.
LEFT HIM WHEN HE
TOLD OF PAST LIFE
Says That He Has Been Follows
ing Her Since Separation
4 in 1902.

The unhappy termination of the mar
ried life of Mrs. Faith Curtis Hughes,
now a resident Of Joliet, ILL.,, and her
husband, Charles Hughes, a tale of
matrimonial unhappiness that began in
Newark, where the couple were mar
ried in June of 1902, was laid bare yes
terday, when Mrs. Hughes filed a suit
for divorce against her husband in the
Illinois courts.
The trouble between Mr.. and Mrs.
Hughes, as set forth In the bill filed
by the latter, states that the day after
their marriage in this city Hughes ex-
posed to her a record of crime that
was appalling, confessing, among other
things, that. he had been tried for the
murder of AMMAN in Ohio and had been
acquitted on the ground of insanity.
AS the result of this verdict, Hughes
said that he had spent several years
in an insane asylum In the West.
With his departure from her house
Hughes did not, however, according to
the story set forth by Mrs. Hughes, go
out of her life. Quite to the contrary,
the mans shadow has followed her ever
since their first quarrel in Newark. She
says that he has logged her wherever
she has gone to try to make a living
for herself. The woman states that
she was a practising physician in
Massachusetts, and that she had been
driven from several places in that State
by the wild stories that Hughes set
af1oat about her. The bill for divorce
further alleges that in August. 1905,
Hughes threatened to kill her with a
pistol, and was only prevented from
carrying out his purpose by the inter
ference of outsiders.

ERRORS IN AUTO LICENSES.

The recent case in court of a driver
of a car presenting a license to n Of
the State automobile inspectors which
showed ensures in the date OF issue,
thereby making the card expire on a
later date than that shown on the
records of the motor vehicle depart
ment, has brought up an old question.
1t may be of serious Importance some
time that the date OF expiration of a
license be definitely n accurately de-
termined and there should De some
method adopted, autoists say, by the
department to guard against error or
fraud.
This solution of the problem has been
suggested. Have license tickets issued
in two colors, one for each class, to
start with. An inspector or police Of
ficer could then tell at a glance how
much an operator had paid for his
license and in what class he is entitled
to drive, without reference to h writ
ten data; her on each card have
punched across the face In bold figures
the date of issue, as "9-10-0S." This
could be lone with a punch or cutter,
such as is used to place the dollar fig
ures on bank checks, and would take
but little of the agents time who is
sues the license.
If these two suggestions were adopt
ed or some similar method of easy and
accurate Identification employed, it
would be quite impossible for any ques-
ton to be raised as to the g~enuineness
of either a date or the amount of
horsepower, as shown on a drivers
| operating license.
