DISAPPOINTED SPORTSMEN

The fox hunt scheduled for
Christmas Day, was called off on
account Of trouble over the "sly
Reynard" in question. Owing to
the fact that the animal was not
dug, as the law allows, but had
been taken from a trap, and was
slightly crippled, instead of being
the center of lively chase, he was
allowed to take an unobserved de-
parture for his old haunts.

lookup and, overpowering Davis,
beat him over the head with the
flat of a hatchet. Next they
dragged him by the heels to a
vacant lot about $50 yards east
of the station, fired five shots
through his heart and after mutt
lating him with the hatchet, left
the body lying in the road.
The corpse was found by a
negro on his way to work. He no.
titled Chief of Police Irwin. This
was the first information of the
lynching that the authorities had.
The lynchers had evidently
timed their visit so as to reach the
lookup when it was unprotected.
They burst the lock on the rear
door without attracting attention
and next went to the cellroon and
found Davis.
Hubert Chase, negro, who was
held as witness in the case, was
in a cell two doors away. He was
not disturbed.
Davis shrieked for mercy, but
his cries were Silenced with the
hatchet.
At the time of the lynchinG
there was no one in the Jail other
than the negro Chase, the officers
having left just before. No nois,
was heard by near neighbors, ex-
cept the shots, and no attention
was paid to them, as they were
thought to be part of the
Christmas eve celebration. The
officers declared after the lynch
ing, that it has always been the
custom to leave the jail un-
guarded, regardless of what pris-
onerS might be there or the nature
of their crimes.
Justice Bottee called an inquest
yesterday morning. David Kin
nell and J. w. Carleton, who live
near the Jail, were the only wit
neSSeS. Kinnell testified that at
about ? or O'Clock he was avail
ened by a number of shots.
81 paid no attention to them"
he said, ''because ! thought they
were the result of the Christmas
eve celebration. heard no out
cry or other noise which aroused
my suspicious.
Carleton gave the same testi-
mony.
The jury rendered a verdict
that Davis died from bullet
wounds and blows with hatchet
in the hands of persons unknown
to the jury.
Between the station and the
scene of the lynching the grass is
trampled and there is a stream of
blood, indicating that Davis had
been badly beaten before he was
taken out.
Chief Irwin and his men are
making an effort to learn the iden-
tity of the lyncherS, but SO far
have found no evidence. Hubert
Chase, who was detained as a wit
ness, has been taken to Annapolis
for safe keeping.
Chief Irwin said that when he
left the station, about .55 O'Clock
a. m., everything in the neighbor-
hood was quiet.
There has been much feeling of
late against negroes, who had the
habit of going to Brooklyn, and
after drinking, making the night
hideous. Davis belonged to this
crowd.

Early Sunday morning King

REAL CITIZENSHIP

In his annual report to the
Governor of the operations of the
Department of Public InStil;c-
ton for the school year ended
July 3, 1914, DR.. N. G. Schaefer,
superintendent of public inStruc-
ton, says that ''it's too early to
measure the effect of the new code
upon the efficiency of the schools.
1t cannot be claimed that any leg
islation is perfect Nevertheless,
it would be premature to suggest
changes or amendments to the
code before its provisions have
been tested upon the touchstone
of experience.
One important matter that has
hitherto been neglected DR..
Schaeffer dilates upon as follows:
"Thus far very little that is
specific has been done for the edu-
cation of the miners in our anthra-
cite and bituminous coal regions.
Private enterprise has done some
thing, through correspondence
schools and mining institutes.
The effort has been made to teach
the foreigner and his children now
to read, write, speak and under
stand the English language, SO
that accidents due to the mlsun-
derstanding of orders may be pre-
vented. Ventilation and other
things that bear upon mining nave
been taught, so that the safety ana
well-being of the miner may be
promoted. Here is a field when
the public schools should enter IN
the hope that as much may oe
done for the mining industry as
IS done for the other vocatlons
which our industrial classes are
pursuing

 Rochester Outfelders Work of Osborn and Moran Attracts Attention from from Big League Scouts

Rochester, July 5.-A Philadelphia dispatch to the Democrat and Chron- icle stated that President Horace Fo- gel of the National league club of that city, was on his way to Rochester to barter with the owners of the Rochester club for an outf1elder. The dispatch further stated that President Fogel had his eye on particular one of the Hustler gardeners, and was prepared to pay as much as $e,O0O in real money for the player.
 Enquiries made at the several Rochester hotels failed to uncover Mir. Fogel. Perhaps he is still on the way. President Charles T. Chapin of the Rochester club, said last night that he had no communication with President Fogei, either by mail or per sonally, and was surprised to learn from a reporter that it was reported that Mr. Fcgel desired to do busi- ness with the Rochester club.
 Mr. Foge1 has probably been read ing the papers, and the great sticking the Hustler outf1elders have been do- ing on the road has naturally at tracted his attention. He probably has his eye on Moran, but he is just as likely to desire an option on Os- born or Moeller or even Batch. Any one of this quartette has been going along fast enough for any kind Of company this season.

Carl Pace Quits
 Brass City Team
Unpopular Manager Glad to Re. tire and Nichols May Have
 Full Swing

Within a few days Carl Pace, man. ager of the Waterbury baseball team, and president of the Waterbury Base ball Corporation, will cease to be a factor in the sport in that city. He and w. L. Prince, secretary and treasurer of the corporation, have agreed to part. Terms of settlement between them have been agreed upon and within week at the latest, MT. Pace will be on his way to Mexico, doubtful whether he will ever take a flier as baseball manager again.
 The Hoey case was one of the first things to make Pace unpopular, as a lot of people believed that he did not work very hard to keep the popular fielder in Waterbury His second mis- take was in breaking up a winning combination by releasing Archie Mar shall, and another was in discharging McPartlin when he did not have bet ter man to take his place. McPartlin was unpopular with a number of fans but he knew baseball.

Hi Ladd'S SWatS
 Beat New Britain
Drives in Fou1 Runs and Scores One Himself in Mondays
 Game

The score of Mondays game at Newfield should read Hi Ladd 5, New Britain 2. The old boy drove in three of Bridgeports runs with dou- ble in the first, sent Litschi in with a triple in the third and then scored himself on a sacrifice fly. Pretty good days work for the old top. Uppy Upham had one of his good days and the human slat made the O'Neil brig ade keep away from the home plate until the eighth. He let New Brit ain down with three hits until the eighth but the visitors manager to gather two runs on four swats in the last two stanzas. Uppy famed four, issued one pass and hit a man.
 He was accorded fine support, par ticularly by Litschi and Stowe. Bob by continued his brilliant fielding streak. He raced all round his ter ritory and stopped the fast ones. Lit schi, Stowe and Crook pulled two fast double plays and would have been credited with another but for an unfortunate huff of Crook.

Late Boxing News Joe Rivers Beat Joe Coste1 and Knockout Brown De-
 feats Tommy Ginty

Los Angeles, July 5-Joe Rivers, a local Mexican featherweight, today, is hailed as a fighter of championship calibre following the terrific whipping he gave Joe Coster, the Brooklyn featherweight champion here, yester- day. Rivers had Coster hanging on for dear life in three rounds. In the 18th Coster could not respond to the bell his seconds throwing up the sponge It counted for knockout for the Mexican.
 New York, July 5-With another victory to his credit, Knockout Brown, returned here, today from Scranton, Pa., where he had all the better of a six round Fourth of July bout with a local man, Tommy Ginty, whose sprinting saved him from a worse beating.
 Tulsa, Okla, July 5-Promoters of the bout between Pete Shaughnessey and Paul Roman, that was to be, are figuring, today, on how they are go- ing to make expenses. Everything was in readiness for the go, yesterday, when the state militia lined up out side the club and. announced they would take possession if anything started.

but gamely stuck it out. He did not go through the practice. Uppy Up- ham took his place during the work out.
 Hank Eastman made good catch across lots and nabbed Hi Ladd's fly. The crowd gave Eastman a cheer.
 The attendance in Waterbury yes terday morning was the smallest on record for a holiday. About 300 paid in.
 There was funny one in Water bury. It had been agreed to call the game at F o'clock so that the players could catch a train. During Water burys batting bee McCann asked Um- pire Lanigan what time it was and the ump replied 11:3s. About ten min utes later McCann again demanded the time and the ump said 11:3S. The old Ingersoll had stopped and the joke was on the stout party.

 It's happened at last. Ty Cobb was forced to go hitless for one whole game Ed Walsh of Chicago turned the trick on him in the morning game. after Cobb had hit safely in 40 con- secutive games.
 The Philadelphia Nationals are in possession of something that, to the unpracticed eye looks like the Giants number.
 And there are a few of the knowing ones who don't believe the Detroit Tigers will ever top the heap again.
 The great number of players parti- cipating in yesterdays games shows the devastating effects of the heat.
 There was note of revenge in Pittsburgs final triumph over the cocky Cardinals after the latter had temporarily put the Pirates out of the running.
 The Yankees tried new pitcher named Klepfer but his delivery was not as hard as his name.
 If Chance only had his discard Lu- derus on first base now the Cubs would be the likeliest looking team for the pennant. The big man is sim ply murdering the ball. / Connie Mack explained the poor start of his team by the fact that a half dozen of his players had recently married. .~+

Good night, Waterbury. You had a good team once-and only once.
 The boys were there in spite of the absence of Skipper Eley and Foot Ruell from the lineup.
 Chief Snyder added another to the list of positions he can play by going to third yesterday. The Chief has covered first, shortstop, third and left field, this season, in addition to win ming seven games in the box.
 The Waterbury team appeared to be suffering from that tired feeling, yes terday afternoon. Walter Ahearn moved around as if he had weights on his feet He got into an argu- ment with a spectator, but nothing but verbal abuse was exchanged.
 A local fan started to kid a Water bury rooter about the Pacers winning the flag last year, and the Brass City fan came back with, Well, you'd bet ter go up and take look at it. You'll never see one down here.'' You'll see the cheese championship in Waterbury this year," retorted the Bridgeporter.
 Bob Stowe is showing improvement every day. He gathered three hits in yesterdays engagements and there by boosted his needy batting average a trifle.
 Manager Cy Pace of Waterbury must have needed a little change when he traded Catcher Mcdonald for Catcher Mutt Waters of Hartford. The Hartford owners gave Pace s200 to soothe his feelings McDonald has it on Waters in every department, and the Brass City fans will blight the fruit on Bauby;s stand when they gather there to hold the evening roasting bee.
 Billy Vann has jumped the Hartford team and returned to his home in Ok lahoma, where his mother is i'll. Ray, who was reported to have jumped the Senators, has returned and pitched against Springfield yesterday.

The only noticeable difference between the pair was that the American was tanned to a nut brown, while the Briton,s skin was as pinixy as a budding rose. When the men weighed in at 2:40 o'clock neither one tipped the beam. Their exact weight was not announced, but a few ounces only could have been the difference either way.
