THE DIAMOND
ONE CRACK OF
 THE BAT WON
Mullansy Drove in the Winning Run in the Eleventh -Re-
 suits of Other Games.

Some one of the few hundred fans present at yesterdays game with Meriden, told Eddie Mullaney, as he stepped to the plate in the elev- enth inning, that the Massachusetts papers were telling that Mullaney was batting like fiend for Water bury, but" the fan remarked, the papers don't always tell the truth. v But they did this time" respond ed Eddie, as he nailed one or "Jocko" Halligans twisters on the nose and clouted the ball between left and center for two bases, while Pop Nichols sailed around the cor ners and dusted the plate with the winning run. It. was great finish to game, that the locals had at one time about sewed up, but which was ripped open in several places in the eighth inning, which saw the re- call of Lefty" Bill Rogers and the entry of Herman Bronkie. There were other features too in the game that glowed brilliantly and other- wise.
 Bill Rogers nailed a hot one from the bat of Dr Cote in the sixth inn ing, that had wind sails all set for couple of stations. "Spud' Mur- phy, in the fourth, got the whole Meriden team after him between first and second and kept up his African dodger comedy, until Shin- eel had crossed the plate, when ''Spud" decided it was about time for him to take rest and, conse- quently,' Halligan, who was one of the force attempting to catch Mur- phy, made bad toss of the ball and the "Spud" one got back from where he started in perfect safety. Nichols got the credit of two-bag- ger in the seventh, because Cote, whose eyes were dazzled by the sun, saw several balls coming his way and ran in for one of the imagin- aries. Campbell goes down as one of the home run getters on regu- lar two-base drive. The ball was hit to the left foul line and Cote dashed for it. He just grazed it enough with his glove to have it rebound and, when Cote looked for 1t, 1t was sailing nicely over the fence. There were several bad mis- plays on our side and a few on the other, but on the whole we played much better baseball, both with the stick and in the field than for several weeks.
 We had scored two in the third, one in the fourth and fifth and one in the seventh, while Meriden was making one in the first and two in the fifth. The score stood at 5 to when the eighth opened and Mer- iden didn't do thing to the ball. Four singles, a free pass and an er- TOT by Nichols sent four men over the plate and the score was ' to 5 against us and Bronkie was called into action. We copped one in the eighth ourselves on Campbell's home run and would have gone one better had not Soffel made a won derful stop of Fitzy's hard drive. which would have sent Murphy home, after making a two-sacker. In the ninth we tied up things. Nich- ols got slight whack of the ball, was sacrificed to second and came home on Shincel's drive to center, which Golden fumbled. Thus 1t went to the eleventh station, when with one out, Nichols was given a free ticket and Mullaney whacked out his two-sacker, scoring Pop. The score:

YALE ROWS ON TIME.
Eli Varsity Eight Covers Thame, Course in 2S Minutes 14 Seconds.

Course in 2S Minutes 14 Seconds.
 New London, June 19.-About 7:15 o'clock last evening the Yale varsity eight had it's first speed trial over the four mile course. The crew rowed up stream against an ebb tide, but with light favorable breeze, and the time given out by Coach John Kennedy was 2S min utes and 14 seconds.
 The freshmen paced the varsity boat from the first to the third mile flag, but the youngsters steered an cratic course and were soon sev- eral lengths astern. The varsity eight kept it's stroke between 2S and 32 the whole distance. Coach Ken nedy, Captain Ide. and the whole crew in fact, expressed themselves as dissatisfied with the showing, both in watermanship and speed. Harvard's best time up stream with light wind and tide this year is 20 minutes and 45 seconds.
 The launch John Harvard, with a full passenger list, followed Yale's steamer down to the bridge, and the Crimson men had an excellent view of the Eli crews on their return up stream.
 Jim Wray coached the Harvard oarsmen from the river in his single scull Yale's squad of oarsmen paid the Harvard rivals the "an- nual visit" this afternoon, the var sity men going down in the launch and the freshmen going overland. Captains Ide and Richardson had a long social chat on the lawn.
 After the Yale men left the camp the Harvard freshmen got busy and built a mammoth pyramid shaped pile of logs and boards, and at dusk applied match to help cele- brate their victory on the diamond.

FEARFUL RAILROAD CATASTROPHE IN BELGIUM CLAIMS ONE HUNDRED LIVES
CHICAGO MAN IS
KILLED BY FOOTPADS
Body OF Purchasing Agent for Electric

Gaping Wound.

Chicago, May 21.--C. p, Holmes,
purchasing agent for the Common.
wealth Edison Electric company, was
found dead with marks Of garroters
on his neck and his face black from
strangulation, in an alley in the down
town district early today. The body
was found by an employe of the street
clearing department. No money or
jewelry was found on his person. His
pockets were turned inside out and
besides the terrible discolorations on
his neck and face there was a gap
ing wound In the skull made appar-
emily with blunt weapon. The
skull was fractured.
A careful examination of Holmes
body by the coroners physician re-
vealed the fact that he had not been
strangled. There we're no marks on
the throat and the only mark of vio-
lence was a deep cut over the left
eye. Holmes attended meeting Of
the national electric light association
last night and his departure from the
hotel was the last seen of him alive.
SO far the police have not the slight

BISHOP MATZ MAY
BECOME ARCHBISHOP
Death Of Most Rev. Peter Boureade
Leaves Vacaney-CIergy and Lalty
Pushing Claims Of Denver Prelate

Denver, Colo, May 21.-The death
Of the Most Reverend Peter Bourgade,
head of the archdiocese OF Santa Fe,
may elevate Bishop Matz, ordinary Of
the Catholic diocese of Denver to the
rank of archbishop. Bishop Matz Is
now In Santa Fe to represent the do
cese of Denver at the funeral Of Arch
bishop Bourgade.
The clergy and laity Of Colorado are
bending their efforts towards securing
the promotion for Bishop Matz. He
came to Colorado in the early days OF
the West. BY reason Of his long serv.
ice n the intermountain region, he
understands the organization of the
church and has every detail Of it, nd.
ministration at his finger tips
The diocese Of Denver is under the
control Of the archdiocese Of Santa
EFF and it was from Colorado that a
coadjutor, ]. B. Pitaval, was chosen
when Archbishop Bourgade was given
an assistant. Father Ptaval was con-
secrated bishop of Santa Fe in June,
1902, and is Bishop Matz's only rival
of consequence for the vacancy left by
the death of the archbishop. When he
was appointed, the right of succession
was not mentioned and unless 1t Is
mentioned specifically the palladium
seldom falls on the auxiliary bishop.
In view of this fact in the opinion OF
the clergy of Colorado the indications
point toward Bishop Matz's promotion.
