TWICE BEATEN WERE
 STRONG SOUTH ENDS

The South Ends on Independence Day had two defeats chalked up against them in Meriden by the All Meridens, the morning game by 14-7 and the afternoon going ten innings, 4-3. In the morning contest the local lads had sixteen hits, but could only get seven runs because of the snappy fielding of the Meriden players. Of these sixteen hits sSmalling had five He was eight times at bat. Nick Car ter started to twirl the game, the Meridens scoring seven runs in the opening session on three bases on balls, two batsmen and several hits. Pete Verelle succeeded Carter, doing much better. In the afternoon contest Jack Hayes twirled a very heady- con- test, allowing ten hits. In this game the South Ends only made five hits. Manager O'Brien has booked the All Meridens for a game in this city for some future date.

 Pittsburg, July 7.-Officials of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers denied today that there had been any breaks in the ranks of the strikers and declared there was no basis for the statement that disaffec- tion among the men who have struck against the "open shop order of the American Sheet and Tin Plate Com pany is more feared than the importa- tion of strike breakers. Part of the twenty hot mills at South Sharon were fired today and it is reported that an attempt will be made to start the plant at midnight.

Tf SCpoI dlC lilC SCSOlAu clio oCNSAilh' Ever notice how consistent Stein hauser's hitting has been on the road. If the Butcher Boy would tear off as does in the out of town games. the fans would sing his praises.
 Manager ORourke has signed up Honest John Bunyan who will be chance first baseman and catcher. Bunyan has been the property of New Britain but could not agree on terms. He has been playing with an inde- pendent club around New Haven and working for the Adams Express Go.
 New Haven circulations claim that the Undertakers are in a deplorable condition being composed mainly or "cast-offs," "has- -beens'' and perhaps goodmen on the team. The attest wheeze comes in the addition of O'Hagan another cast-off.
 Schmaltz is beginning to show his class in the few games in which he has played. The ball does sail when he leans on it. That victory over Hartford on Saturday was due to his two bagger in the eighth.
 Roast after roast, which is hardly enough is being handed out to Man ager George Bone of the New Haven club. Elmer Zacher is supposed to be captain but Bone seems to have usurped all his powers. Bones princi- pal occupation appears to be to get into a dispute with the umpires and consequently be sent to the club house. This is not baseball, and is not liked by the fans of the present day. It is stated that when Bone started to nag the ump on Monday that the fans. actually hissed him.
 President Tracy in awarding the game of Monday morning to Bridge port has in turn handed out censure to Umpire Sternburg for not making a decision. Tracy says that the rules of the game are very clear in this in stance and suggests that Sternburg take few days vacation to study the rules. Manager ORourlke was not in Bridgeport during the game, being in Springfield, and did not know of the affair, thinking all the time that it was tie game. He thinks it was mighty poor judgment on the part of Sternburg in keeping the patrons of the game in suspense as to whom was the winner.
 President Tracy has disallowed the protest of Hartford of the game in Waterbury last week, which the au- thors won 5 to 2. Gn the ninth in ming of the game Leverenz had made a two bagger, and Capt. Connery ask ed for a runner. Hart was suggested, put SOnnGTy put SCdnIOn on the DOS- When Leverenz left the second sta ton he was touched by the ball, the ump calling him out.
 Bridgeport is springing all kinds of surprises lately, not an error yester- day, and a double win on Monday. The latter is one of the seven won- ders of a Bridgeport team, which as far as memory serves has never done better than to break even on Indepen- dence Day. Perhaps it is recorded as a good omen. Let's hope SO.
 New Haven has lost as many games as the Orators, but is AT points to the good, having won seven more. A win to-day for the locals will help some.

II was astonished that she would
allow the children to drink any kind of

most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.

cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fat that 1 was in despair

moniously hustled out Of a playhouse
because he Kissed when the curtain
fell on the second act brought an &C.
ton for damages against the manager
of the said house.
The court decided in favor of the
kissing gentleman, adding that If a
spectator is allowed to show his de-
light by indulging in applause his
neighbor has also the right to show
disapprobation in an audible fashion.
But the law in France was not al
ways so tolerant, says the Gentle
woman. In the middle of the seven
teenth century it was strictly forbid
den to hiss in playhouse; and in ev.
cry theater there were number of
"Gardes Franchises" with strict orders
to arrest any person infringing the
law.

A Legal Romance
Copyright. by w. G. Chapman.)
By r. f.. ThOrne

Miss Leslie Delmar, presiding over
the breakfast table, regarded her
brother with an air of inquisitive
shrewdness. He returned the stare
with smile in which there lurked a
faint tinge of annoyance, but said
nothing. Miss Delmar frowned.
you can't deny that you have
something on your mind that is trou-
bling you, JOHN she finally remarked.
Il know you too well to be deceived"
This time Delmar did not smile.
LAS a general thing, lawyer with
fairly good practice finds plenty of
cause for serious thought" he re-
turned, shortly. 81 wish you would
not worry yourself drawing differences
as to the state of my mind"
You're not thinking about legal
matters" responded his sister, prompt
ly, in no wise abashed by the tartness
of the retort. THE truth of the
matter is that you are head over heels
in love with that Stanton girl, and
have been for the past three months.
You have paid her more attention than
is becoming to any professional man
with mere stenographer. It's the
most absurd thing 1 ever heard of.
Why, the girl isn't very pretty,
hasn't got a cent of money outside
of the salary you pay her, and good
ness knows what her family is
like"
Delmar colored but made no reply.
In his heart he was conscious that
his sister spoke the truth, yet this
sudden exposure of his secret startled
and annoyed him. Irene Stanton had
been in his employ for about year.

How Gold and Silver Lost
Shipwreck Will Be Searched
For

The Dutch await with curiosity the
results of a work undertaken in the
Zuyder Zee. On October 9, 1899, the
English ship of war Lutin sank in
Dutch waters, carrying with it to the
bottom thirty millions of gold and
silver in bars that the British cabinet
was sending to Hamburg to help at a
financial crisis in the Hanse towns
The cargo, insured for nearly twenty.
five millions, was entirely lost
The Dutch government, urged by
France, tried to recover the wreck,
but violent storm covered the ship
with such a thickness of sand that it
had to be given up. After the restora-
ton Of European peace the king of
Holland abandoned his rights to his
English colleague, who coded them to
the company of Lloyd.

ever they see an opportunity they at.
tack the authorities with that fearful
weapon-ridicule. In this case such
an opportunity came at the Coincide
Franchise during the performance of
Cleopatra" a play by Marmontel.
1t was badly written, dull work,
and the people were waiting for a
chance to give vent to their opinion.
At last the chance came. The man
agement had ordered a mechanical
asp for the great scene in the final
act, when Cleopatra puts an end to
her life
The actress raised the asp, which
started Kissing, whereupon a specta-
tor rose to his feet and cried: 1.-THE
asp is quite right. We all share his
opinion" Roars Of laughter greeted
that joke and as 1t was foreseen that
similar scene would take place ev-
cry night the piece was withdrawn
from the repertoire.
