but three the following year. Cor coran turned the. trick for Chicago vs. Worcester in the National League, and Mullane and Hecker, both of Louis vile, pulled off hitless games in the old American Association Radbourne, the great Providence pitcher, broke into the charmed circle in 1883, and Daley of Cleveland alsoegot into the hall of fame.
 The season of 1884 was the most prolific in no-hit games of any in ma jor league history. Larry Corcoran of Chicago started the ball rolling by twirling his third no-hit pastime, and Calvin of Buffalo also repeated In the American Association the no-hit twirlers were Atkinson of the Athletics and Morris and Mountain of Columbus. The Union Association, which played its first and only season that year, had three no-hit games pitched by Gagus of Washington, Burns of Cincinnati and Cushman of Milwaukee.
 Of the present generation of pitch ing heroes, Christy Mathewson was the first to perform the stunt. It was just fifteen yearS ago to-day that Big Six joined the ifnmortals at the ex- pense of St. Louis. In 1905 Matty re- peated at Chicago. McGraw has de- yeloped more no-hit twirlers than any other manager, Tesreau and Marquard as well as Christy the Great having performed such pnear-miracles.

RUSSIAN LOAN HERE
 FAILED, SAYS BERLIN

Berlin, July 17-"According to of ficial reports from Petrograd," says the Overseas News Agency" in, the period between the beginning of Nthe Russian offensive and July the num- Der of those killed reached 14,900 of ficers and 24s,O00 men. Included among the officers were IT generals and 29 regimental commanders.
 "Advices from Stockholm say that the Russian finance minister, having failed to obtain loan from England and France undertook negotiations with bankers in the United States which also failed. England declared that the cost of the war to herself had reached such point that it had become impossible to assist her allies. The Russian newspaper Reich, com mending on this situation, most vie- lently insults Americans for their 'egotism,' saying thatat last the mask of sympathy for the allies has been torn from their faces"

HUSBAND HELD FOR
 FIRING SHOT GUM; WOMAN RECOVERING

Torrington, July 17-Albert Schaller, who is employed on the Clarkweed farm, attempted to murder his wife by shooting her about o'clock yester-, day morning at the Mosh1er farm in Harwinton. Schaller appeared just before 5 8. m., at the Moshier farm, where his wife, from whom he has been separated for year, is em- ployed. He carried a shotgun. Mo- shier saw him coming and locked the door. Schaller smashed window and forced an entrance. He found his wife in bed and she jumped out and ran downstairs. As she ran, Schaller shot at her, the shot landing in her back. She ran into closet and he pulled her out. She begged him not to shoot her again, saying that she was going to die anyway. Schaller had no more ammunition in the gun.
 Schaller was caught on the Harwin- ton road. He surrendered and admit ted that he intended to kill his wife, and then take his own life.
 The charge of heavy shot took effect in the back and shoulders, but Dr. Thompson does not believe that any vital part was touched and he be- ieves that she will recover.
 Schaller and his wife were married about six years ago, but about year ago they separated. Schaller, it is un- derstood, recently asked her to go back and live with Him, but she de- clined. She has been employed for about two months in the Moshier farm.

THOUSAND HORSES r BOUGHT FOR TROOPS

 The arrival of the show will un- doubtedly stir things in Boydom at an unusually early hour tomorrow morn ing. The unloading of the show trains Is something that no normal boy can withstand, and when to the usual sights and scenes of the circus arrival is added the picturesque atmosphere supplied by several detachments of U.' s. regulars, in service uniforms-cav- airy, artillery and mounted infantry a hundred or more gaily-decorated In- dions, cowboys, cowgirls, scouts and old plainsmen, with a lively cploring of Russian Cossacks, Arab, Japanese and Mexican soldiers, and possible glimpse of Col. William F. Cody, the
 Buffalo Bill of Boyville's most stren-
 uous Borderland romance, it would be
 marvellous indeed if any boy could re- sist it's allurement.
 As rapidly as possible the parapher-
 nalia of the show will be unloaded and transferred to the Fairfield avenue cir GUS grounds, where the tents will be erected and arrangements completed

 HALL OF FAME

The pitching hall of fame, in which are .inscribed the names of those mo- tables wh01 01nAsvSsr&f r1tyf nenhit games, had its beginning, so faf as professionr al ball is concerned, just forty years ago to-day. It was on the fifteenth of July, 1878, the first year of the Ma itional League, that George ". Bradley, of the St. Louis club, held the Hart ford team hitless, and so repeated the great stunt which had. been performed the previous year by college player, Joe Mann of Princeton, in contest with Yale. -s, Not only were the Hart ford lads unable to get a single hit off Bradtc ystde defiyefy.t but thky didn't ev- en get man on first base.
 A Bradley, the pioneer of the more than four-score twirlers who have since pitched no-hit games in the big leagues, was the whole pitching staff of the Mound City club in 1876. Thanks largely to Bradley's superior box work, St. Louis finished third in the Nation al League race in 1S76-higher than 1t has ever climbed since except in 1914, when the Cards agains reached the third rung from the top of the ladder.
 Bradley joined Gap" Anson's club in Chicago in 1877, and afterwards played with the National League clubs of Troy aAd Providence, but he never repeated the feat that won for him ithe premier niche in the hall of pitch ing immortals.
 M The next slap artist. to break into the sacred company was Dr. J. Lee Rich smond of the Worcester club. In 1880 he held the Cleveland club Hit less, and not a man reached the ini- sfial bag. This same feat had been twice performed by Richmond the pre- vious year, when he was twirling for the Worcester club of the National Association. Richmond was the first nouthpaw pitcher in the big show and the daddy of all that eccentric tribe. He differed from his successors in that he could swat the pill as well as pitch several c:ub3 Because of his ability to soak the leather.
 John M, Ward, then in a Providence uniform. also pitched a no-hit game in which no opponent reached first tn 1880. Buffalo being his victim. Lar. ry Corcoran of Chicago pitched his first no-hit game against Buffalo later in the 1880 season. Larry. short in stature but with a great arm, was the { leading twirler of the league at thai period. The fourth pitcher to put over a no-hit game in 1880 was Gal ~in of Buffalo. who performed the 9eat at the expense of Worcester.
 zhere were no no-hit games in 1881

Overlooked.

In his speech at St. Francis
vile the Republican Progressive
candidate among other things
said:
"YOu need at the head of the
Agricultural department man
who will do something for tie
farmers interest. The bosses
give you il man who comes from
a section that can muster a large
number of ring votes on primary
day"
Disregarding the insult to the
Florida Parishes, which are en-.
tirely agricultural and the people
of which have always been con-
spicious for their independence il
politics, this paragraph is most
important as a confession OF
laundering or worse by Mr.. Par
ker and the convention he bossed.
If Mr.. Wilson, to whom Mr..
Parker refers, is not equipped TO
serve the farmers interest in the
agricultural department, why,
may it be asked, did not Mr.. Par
ker pick d capable farmer and
put him on his own ticket
He nominated Mr. Broussard,
brother OF the United States Sen
ator, in the hope, we take it, that
the more distinguished member
of the Broussard family would
thereby be persuaded to stay at
Washington and the Bull Moose
fight in the Third district DO rem
dered the less difficult.
He nominated Mr.. Dubuisson
for attorney general out of a
petty spirit of revenge against
Judge Coco, for exercising a
Louisiana freeman's right 70
criticise the Parker brand of
politics.
But, either deliberately or neg.
lectfully, he overlooked the
farmers interest when he was
playing politics in the case of
one nomination and exhibiting
his autocracy of spirit in the
other, and at least it does lie in
HIS mouth, at this late day to
arraign the Democratic party or
affront the people of the Florida
parishes in connection with the
agricultural department.-Daily

What Could Parker DO:

In the event Of John M. Parker
becoming governor Of Louisiana,
which is not at all probable, what
could he accomplish? The legis
Iature will be overwhelmingly and
possibly soIidly democratic. 10
place John NJ. Parker in the gov.
rrnor's chair, with his fanatical
ideas, against which 50 per cent
Of the voters Of the state are now
lined up, would be the height Of
folly. Seventy-two voters OF
Jennings have signed d call for
a meeting Tuesday night for the
purpose of organizing an indie
pendent democratic party, its
object being to get votes for
John NJ. Parker for Governor
DemocTatics of Jennings, do you
realize what yOu are doing: Do
you realize the fact that Col.
Pleasant will be louisiana
next governor? Have you for
gotten that you voted at the pri-
mary just four weeks ago and
that when YOU voted at that pri-
mary you obligated yourselves to
support the nominee. Now if the
democratic nominee for 60 vernon
was a man of questionable char.
acter, of if it could be truthfully
said that he is subject to boss
dictation, then you might have
some excuse for boiling, but
since it's a fact, and you know
it is fact, that Col. Pleasant
whipped the Crescent City bosses
in the Constitutional Convention
election last summer, and you al
50 know that these same bosses
don't like Col. Pleasant, but that
they are supporting him because
they believe him to he a winner
and capable of trimming" any
man in the state, within bis party
or without. And he will trim
