SNYDER MAKES IT
 VERY HARD FOR
 M'CANN'S MECHANICS

New Britain, June 15.-"Chief'' Snyder held Dan O'NeilPs Comedians to two hits, both by Joe Connor, yes-- terday afternoon, but received wretched support, the tailenders win ming 3-2. The Mechanics in the sec ond inning allowed three runs, though only one hit was gleaned off Snyder. son the Mechanics were opposed by Murray Parker. Springfield used to shove the youngster against us in almost every game, while now that he is one of Dan O'Neips hirelings, the latter must work him against the Mechanics. Murray is a good gum Strange, though, yesterday that one lad session did not crop out. Per haps 1t was due to the fact that his mates got the jump, and it was up to him to hold it.
 Three hits was all that Parker al- lowed. Cy Miller had a perfect rec ord for the day. Out of four times at bat he walked thrice and nailed a three bagger. Ladd and Kocher were the only other Mechanics to connect safely The loss made Snyder's rec ord six wins and two defeats.
 The Cubebs gathered their three runs in the second inning on two passes. a passed pail, three errors, and Connor's hit. Stowe scored in the second after Miller uncovered a three bagger, and Ladd hit and work ed around in the seventh for the only other Mechanics run of the game Snyder famed eight of the New Britain batters.

WOMAN WANTS COURT TO VOID
 FRAUD DEED

Judge Howard J. Curtis in the Su- perior Court, today, is sitting in hear ing in the suit of Emma c. Benwell, of Gilbert street, against Hector C.. MacLean and Walter R. Quimby, in which the former asks for a recon veyance of the property on Gilbert street which was obtained by the de- fendants from her, through fraud. MacLean, in December 1908, came to the home of Mrs. Benwell, gave her four worthless s1,00O bonds, and ob- tained her signature for a conveyance of the property, stating that he would also go to MT. BenwelI to obtain his signature. Instead MacLean had the deed recorded. He went to Burr & Knapp and obtained a loan of $1,6Q0 on the property. Late both Quimby and MacLean were arrested and each given a year in jail for embezzlement Both appealed to the Supreme Court of Errors. Only few weks ago Mac Leans bondsman gave him up and he was taken to jail. QuiInby is still on bail.

M'CANN INSTITUTES LADIES' MATINEES
 AT NEWFIELD PARK
Women Will Be Admitted Free to the Grandstand Once a Week, Beginning Tomorrow.

Thanks to the generosity and chivalry of Manager Gene McCann of the Mechanics, Newfeld Park will hereafter become once a week the scene of a big gathering of female fans.
 Manager McCann has decided to set apart one day a week when wo- men will be admitted free not only to the ball park, but to the grand stand as well. Tomorrow will be the first of the ladies' free matinees.
 The energetic head of the Me- chanics was led to this step princi- pally because he was struck by the lack of enthusiasm for the national game among the fair sex. Elsewhere he says the women display as much interest in doings of the diamond as do the men. The National and American league parks are always sprinkled with a goodly representa- ton of fans of the fair sex, and he is anxious that Bridgeport should not be in the rear of the procession.
 So, girls. whether you're blonde or brunette, red haired or brown, be on hand tomorrow to join the Mechanic rooters when the locals are pitted a gainst the New Britain team.

The Alert Man.

"Ca1mness Is a fine trait" said Mr. BliMy, "but does it always get there7 You take the case of two men stand ing up in car holding on to straps, both the same age, but one of them quiet and the other quick, and now let the man they are standing in front of get up to leave the car at a station, and suppose these two men are both at exactly the same distance from the seat, each with the same chance as the other for seizing it, which would get that seat? Would it be the calm, cool man who moved deliberately and aI- ways with some thought for others, or would it be the ever alert man, quick to move and always on the lookout, not caring a continental for what any body thinks and always ready to jump in any seat he can nab? Why, while the calm man is thinking it over about what he shall do and beginning to turn that way the alert man Is in the seat, I certainly do admire the calm, tran quill man and his good manners, but 1t is the man ever on the alert that gets the seat in the car-and other things" New York Sun.

Tha Back of a GIcxe

The meaning of the three marks on the back of a glove and the clocks on a stocking were two of the little mys- teries of dress explained at lecture on clothes in London. The Lecturer said that the three marks on the back of glove correspond to the fourcnette pieces between the fingers, and in old en days these pieces were continued along the back of the hand, braid be- ing used to conceal the seams. /. somewhat similar origin was assign ed to the ornamental clock on the stocking. In the days when stockings were made of cloth the seams came where the clocks do now, the orDa- mentation then being used to hide tI.s seams. The useless little bow in the leather band lining a mans hat is T survival of the time when a hat was made by taking a piece of leather, boT- ing two holes through it and drawing it up with piece of string.

FRIENDS SAY BABYS
 IS VICTIM OF PLOT
Trying to Show Letters Signed By Him Were
 Written By Enemy
Counsel for Prisoner Whose Sanity Is In Question,
 Working on New Lead

Columbus Babys, the Greek held in $1,00O bail for examination as to his sanity as the result of ardent love letters signed with his name having been sent to a daughter of John A. Shea. the Main street hotel keeper, is said by his friends to be the victim of base plot.
 Babys is a fireman at the U. M. C.. Fellow Greeks who are friendly to him claim he never wrote single letter to Miss Shea, but that another Greek seeking his position, is the author of the letters. They say Babys cannot even write his own name, and they produce documents he has been called upon to sign, bearing only his mark, as proof of the claim
 Today friends of Babys who yester- day dismissed Attorney Geduldig, re- tained the lawyer a second time, to look out for his interests. Geduldig investigated their claims, and as a result, he said today that even though Dr. c. Lincoln Banks, reports the pri- soner insane, he will insist that trial be held of the charge against Babys
 Dr. Banks was appointed yesterday to investigate Babys' mental condi- tion. He will report his finding to the city court on Saturday.
 The information which Attorney Geduldig says he has in his posses sion is to the effect that Babys had admired the Shea girls from afar for many weeks, and that he had even made so bold as to accost them on the streets This ended his familiarity, but he had confded his admiration for the pretty daughters of the hotel keeper to his fellow countrymen.
 This gave an opportunity for the man who sought his place, to write the letter in Babys' name, which led to his arrest last week. When Babys was discharged, his friends aver, he said he was going to keep away from MT. Shea's hotel altogether. This led to his enemy's causing word to be brought, to Shea that Babys had utter ed threats against both Shea and his son in law, Joseph W. Lindley. 1n- vestigation of these alleged threats, Geduldig said today, will disclose the plot against Babys.
