JOE CONNOR SAVED GAME.

l Springfield, May If there has ever been any doubt as to Murray | Parker's ability to hold up his end
 in the Connecticut league, that doubt sunk out of sight yesterday
 when the boy with the powerful pro. | peller and penchant for strikeout
 victims tied one of the doughnut
 things to New Haven. In causing
 the conquerors of Holyoke to look like counterfeit against real money, the Springfield boy famed II of them and allowed only three hits. The Ponies, after a belated start, picked up five runs.
 A dazzling double play. checked the Prairie Hens when in the sixth they had runners roosting on first and second, with none out. That old master, Joe Connor, was on the business end of 1t when Pleiss at tempted sacrifice and popped a puny fly, which was apparently bound to evade everyone
 It tumbled tantalizingly toward the ground and the best that was looked for was an out at first when 1t could be recovered. But Connor crashed forward and followed a leap with lunge that brought his out stretched mitt under the ball. Still stretched at full length and almost standing on his head, Joe smothered the ball and chung to it like a lemon squeezer to a good thing. Brown was close to third. SO sure had he been that the catch couldn't be made. Connor had ample time af- ter recovering his balance, to shoot the pill down to Spud Murphy be- fore Brown could get back to the second bag.
 Rising again stood out in relief as a sticker with three safeties, one a half circuit clout, while Connor had a perfect record at bat with a single, double and two sacrifices. The score: R.H.E. Springfield OOOOOO23 s-51O 1 New Haven O O OO000 % 8 3I

A STRONG ATTRACTION.
Waterbury Independents to Play
 Double Header in Danbury.


 Manager Moore has secured a red hot attraction for Memorial Day by booking Curley's Waterbury Ihleeen- dents for double header says Athe Danbury News. This team was one of the hard nuts that the Inyincibles failed to crack hut once out of three times last season. This year their manager says, the players are faster than last.
 The first game played last season was on June and resulted fin win for the Independents by score of 10 to {. The teams met again on Sep- tember 21, and Danbury took the vic tory, the score for that game being ! to I. The third game was played on October !. and was won by the Wa terbury team. The score was G 10 i. At this game Manager Curley pushed in Farley and Schineel. the Water bury State League battery.
 Manager Curley has not vet given out who will compose his battery on the occasion of the visit of the Inde- pcndents to Danbury, but. as he aI- ways has something up his sleeve. 1t is safe to predict that 1t will be good one. There were no games last season that brought out the interest that those played between the ~Invincibles and the Independents did, and big crowds were the rule at every meet. ing. It Is safe. to say that there will be just as much interest manifested this seasen and that just as large crowds will he the rule whenever the two teams get together on the dla- mOnd.

YALE BEAT BROWN.

Providence, R. l., May 7.-Yale de- feated Brown, 2 to 1, in an interest ing game on Andrews field yesterday Nourse, who was in the box for Brown, was somewhat cratic at the beginning of the game and Brown made errors at critical points. Brown had little difficulty in hitting Jones, but the hits proved ineffective in scoring as they could not be punched. Yale's first run was made on base on balls and two hits and the second through errors by Regnier and Ray mond. The single score made by Brown was an earned run secured in the eighth inning through a double and single. A sensational play was Philbin's catch of Budlong's fly to right field. The score: R.H.E. Yale ......0 1 0000 0-2 5 1 Brown .... O 00010-1 ' 3

 The knuckle ball already is a back number. One of the big league man. agers, who declines to allow his name to be used, is said to have a pitcher under cover who can throw the elbow ball. The pitcher has vn elbow to prove it.
 Manager Dan ONeill Of Springfield has appointed Mike McAndrews cap tain of his team. Last year Mean drews was leader of the Waterbury nine and Mir O'Neill thinks that he will prove fayorite, not only with the players but with the fans.

 Griffith has been exiled from the field indefinitely by Ban Johnson for his clash with Umpire Connolly in Washington. The quality of mercy is appreciated. by Johnson in handing out his discipline. and it is not likely | that Grlffith's indeterminate sentence will be for long.
 Louis Lepine has fully recovered from his recent illness, and is back in | the right garden for Holyoke. Not long ago he was forced to quit the | game and go to his home in Woon- socket, R. l., threatened with pneu- monia. The Paper City fans gave him a rousing reception when he re- turned to their city.

Episcopal church and acting bishop of

ming, created at the Richmond con-
vocation of the general conference of
the church last September, teIephoned

Bode of the parish of st. Matthew's
at this place that he would make his
first official visit to this church on
Tuesday or Wednesday. Dr.. Frederick
Focke Reese of Nashville, Tenn, was
elected bishop of this missionary dis
trict, but he declined the place and
Bishop Funston was directed to ad-
minister the affairs of the new district
until the house of bishops can act.
The bishop has nothing of special i'm
portance to demand his attention at
this time. He is now at Rock Springs
and will be at Rawlins tonight, coming

NOT MUCH OF A GAME
BUT JOLLY GOOD TIME

The basketball game at the univer-
sity gymnasium Saturday night, be-
tween the team from the Arctic Broth.
erhood of Nome and the team from
the Benedicts club of this city was not
much of an exhibition of the game, as
the locals were greatly outclassed,
but the occasion was a very pleasant
one indeed from a social standpoint.
Dancing filled the interim of waiting
for the game to begin at $3.50, on ac,
count of the fact that some members
of the local team could not get away
from their respective businesses earli-
er, and there was dancing afterwards,
the visitors being introduced to the
ladies present and heartily enjoyed
themselves. The score was Ga to IS.
The Nome team showed professional
training and that they understood the
game. Our" boys played well, but
they simply were moi equal to the
task of doing much to increase their
.scU-e against such great odds. The
visitors left at moor Sunday for Chey-
enne.
