Northampton, Mass., May 6.—North- amptons were winners today In a ten inning game with the New Mavens. One of the best games seen here for a long time was played. The features were Plank’s pitching, good catches by Finn, Yate, Scanlon and Havel, and the sharp and snappy work by both teams. There was considerable kicking on the part of both teams over some of the decisions of Uumpire Cullen. 2 R.H. 5 Score Nsmpton 000002000173 N.Haven 000000200% 3 5 4 Doll Cul- Batteries, Plank and Bridges; time, 2.00; and Waters; len. umpire, New Britain Wins in Tenth.

Umplre “Grift* Coughlin in the star role and what he missed the players the game with al| the authority of "Cnr" Rorty, but did some punk work on decisions on bases. Tom Kilrow got away with the human derrick act on third, holsting Captain Eullivan off the bag and tagging him. “Out!” sald Griff, while the Waiters T " Bill Randall, the Human Sieve. protested, but were waved down by the iron hand of the ump. A moment lster Haley quit the game when Griff declared a man safe steallng second. Haley made a jab at him with the ball and then stopped to argue with the ump, instead of watching his man who overran and could have been caught while crawling back from the edge of left fleld. The Waiters started off like winners, scoring 4 runs at the start, when they pounded Tommy HNogan's slants, and Capt. Bill Randall started an unequal- ed error column at shortstop. Bin was a whole error trust all to himselt before the game was over, The Nug- gets plugged along in the rear unti] the fifth inning, when they swept 4 rung across the pan. Leo Bruette, who also, pla; ‘ed a great game in the fleld Capt. Scanlon in Collision with Kilrow at Third, led the Walters in a scoring rally in the eighth with a clean two baggers to center fleld. The Walters put over three runs and tied the score. For the next two innings a little hit would have done the business for them, they had men on second, but Hogan was too tricky. In the tenth the Nuggets won out when MoNulty hit, an out and a single by Catcher ‘Welch. Among the specialties were the good work of the Walters’ battery, a catch in center by Himan, Tom Klilrow's catches of several high flles over third and Joe Conway’'s tumbling starts aft. er flles to left. The Waiters were without Manager Robinson to coach, but with him to pull off some of the inside play they could probably have secured the run or two more that they needed to win.

The probability is that, if there were 2 city composed of none but good men, it would be an object of competition to avoid the possession of power, just as now it is to obtain it; and thea it would become clearly evident that it is net the nature of the gemuine ruler to look to his own interest, but to those of his subject; so that every ju- dicious man would choose to be a re- cipient of benefits, rather than to have the trouble of couferring them upom others.—Plato. ingenious Ponles. A rather curious habit has been de- veloped by Mexican ponies in connec- tion with the cactus thorns. When these creatures are thirsty, it is said that, before attempting to put their mouths to the prickly plant, they will first of all stand and kick at the cac- tus with their heels. By this means the thorns are broken and the leathery skin bruised, and so the ponies can drink their fill of the cool juice with- out injury.—Sunday Strand. Manners of the Past. Count Baldissare Castiglione wrete of manners in sixteenth cemtury Italy: “Discourse of love is used by every gentleman . . not only when im- pelled by passion, but also merely to do honor to the lady with whom™he speaks. The pretense of loving her is at any rate a testimony to her worthiness to be loved.
