BROOKLYN ONLY TEAM GIANTS
 HAVE TO FEAR

New York, June 5-While the
 work of the Giants last week did not approach their remarkable achieve ment of the three weeks prior to that, still no fault may be found in their iperformance of winning four out of seven The club won in Boston last Monday annexng their seventeenth straight, and then divided four games kwith the Phillies and two with the kReds.
 What appears to be most gratifying g Ito Giant partisans is that Manager eMcGraw appears to have ironed out 2 his pitching problem. Despite the kfact that Jeff Tesreau, the recognized star of the staff, has not pitched a full nine inning game since he won the kc1ub's first home victory on the Polo EGrounds on May 2, McGraw has been kworking Anderson, Benton and Per fritt in such rotation that his team has kbeen a consistent winner.
 Mafty still remains a. puzzle. Alter iR1is successful pitching in St. Louis, $Cincinnati and Boston, it looked as fthough the old fellow was coming ttback strongly. especially after the kgame with the Braves, when he shut Tout StaIling's team with four singles, Rand did not permit runner to reach keecond In St. Louis he was alno oSt Eas effective, permitting only six hits Rand one run, and when called upon to check a Red .ninth-inning rally, he knobly responded. However, just as Everybody was singing Matty's praise Ethe Reds, formerly the easiest team Yin the league for him to beat, gave ! him aan awful tanning during the home coming celebration last Fri day.
 1 The happenings of last week
 strengthen the opinion expressed a week ago that Brooklyn is the Ma tionaI leagues only hope for close race The Braves have fallen far be- low expectations. Sta1lings was un- der the impression that Compton ana W1lhoit, minor league sluggers, with Sherwood Magee. would give him one of the hardest hitting outfelds in baseball. Magee got back into the
 game after a long lay-of last week, but neither Compton nor Wilhoit are hitting a lick. Snodgrass, who start :: ed to flicker out on the Giants a year ago. is going no better with Boston and appears to be through
 The Phillies remain in and cutters. tAlexander is their backbone, though Cravath is coming back into his own.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

19OO-Eddie Connolly defeated Matty Matthews in 25 rounds at Co., hey Island. This was the second bout that year between Eddie and Matty, the first having resulted in 8, victory for Matthews. A few months later Matty won the weIterweight title by whipping Rube Ferns, but he did not long retain that honor, Ferns putting him to sleep in return engagement at Toronto early in 1901. Connolly Brunswick, and fought as a feather Brunswick and fought a sa feather weight, lightweight and welter- He visited England in 1897 and fought a draw with Dick Burge when that famous English lightweight was in his prime. Matty Matthews was one of the most eccentric of boxers, and perhaps the loudest dresser that ever deafened the ears and blinded the eyes of Broadway. When he was making t'easy money in the ring the haberdashers and clothing dealers reaped 8 rich harvest although they had a hard time to satisfy Matty's desire for brilliant colors and hobby effects.'' In those days the welter- weight division had lots of class, but with the passing of Matthews, Ferns and Joe Walcott it relapsed into in nocuous desuetude.

BROKEN FINGER HAS
 DELAYED DICK GOPHER,


 The reason Dick Carter, the veteran backstop, hasn't reported here is be- cause he broke a finger catching on Mem oria1 Day. The former back stop for the Cubs and Phillies in formed the local management of his predicame ent today. He said he would be ready for work in about a week. Howie Baker was expected to join the local squad today but it is not known where he will be used Hartford plays again here tomor- row.
 There will be some new pitchers here this week bGt the management decided not to announce any nam mes until the men actually arrive. Re- garding the forfeiture of that game in Worcester, Saturday, it is said that Umpire Stafford was too nasty in de- claring the contest forfeited. He did not give Manager Ball time to get off the field, local players declare. Staf- ford worked the same trick on Low ell a short time ago.
 Averages sent out from league headquarters in Hartford, which in- clude~ Wednesdays games, show that M. Shannon of New Haven is leading the league with a no ark of .368. He is one point ahead of Bud Weiser, the New London slugger. Pat Maloney, Lh0 w OICSSlSI OOLIIeIdeT, IS IIllT JACK Egan Of this city, who has played only six games for Springfield, has batted 800.
 The fans have given the local own CTS fine support this season. In spite of the fact that the Bridgeport club won only two games last week over 2,400 paid to see yesterdays contest. There was plenty of excitement and the fans were pleased with the ex- hibition, even though the home club lost.

THE PASSING SHOW

a run yesterday. In the sixth with O'Connell on third and Russell on first, 9. delayed steal was tried. For tune, a left hand hitter was at the bat. When Moshier threw to second. For tune deliberately jumped to the op- posite side of the plate and although Ennis was standing at the plate he re- fused to penalize the Planters. Under the rules O'Connen should have been declared out. There is no excuse for such ignorance as displayed by Ennis and such men should not be retained on the staff
 The Planters have the best inie1d in the league. Rodriguez, the Cuban first sacker, made some great pick ups and Dowd at second turned in two
 of the best stops seen here in years.

Engineer Strickland Tells Science Class at High School How Rocks
 Are Formed on Ocean Bottom

Herbert Strickland of this city, for many years a mining engineer for companies operating in Colorado and Arizona, gave an interesting lecture on rock formations to the first year science classes at the high school. The speaker had many specimens of rocks and minerals which illustrated the metamorphosis beginning with the mud deposits in the ocean near the shores, carrying il through to the uI- timate formation of the granite so abundant in the hills adjoining this valley. That most of Arizona was at one time under the sea is evidenced by the lime stone congiomerates, con taining shells and fossil remains of animals tha- once lived in the sea.
 Mr. Strickland's seven years work in the Royal School of Mines, Lon don, together with the many years of practical experience in this country have given him an immense fund of scientific facts pertaining to mother earth which he presents in a delight ful manner

 Naturally all Christian Scientists are devoutly grateful to Mrs. Eddy for her consecrated life, since it is through her life that Christ has come to them in a fuller and higher sense, and has healed and coinforted them from their diseases and sins. But Mrs Eddy while appreciating the high regard she received from her followers, was forever striving to turn their every thought away from her self to God indeed, her life was constant effort to direct her own thought as well as the thoughts of others wholly toward the things of | God.

 If anything that I have said has enabled any one here to perceive more clearly the affirmative and causative nature of true prayer, and his ability to draw nearer to God through such prayer, then indeed this address will have accomplished it's mission.

As the scientific and invariable nature of God appears to human thought, and we all perceive naturally one God and the divine Christ and begin to dem onstrate this understanding through prayer, then will human thought arise from it's dogmas and creeds, it's be- liefs of life in matter, and go to the Father It will discern the Life divine, and men will know them selves as ideas of one infinite Mind, the only God, loving, appreciating, and sustaining one another
