A ome hand catch by Fud Suliivan at second, retiring a base stealer, was a feature that cut off runs. Both teams contributed double plays, Carolina on Cote's catch in right and throw to first, and the C. A. C’s when Driscoll picked up Brown's grounder close to second, hurl- ed to the middle bag ahead of Mc- Tnness, and Fud Sullivan winged the ball to Dennie McIntyre ahead of the batter. 3 The home team plunged into the scoring business heavily in the first and then stopped short. After that they were practically out in order in every inning. In_ the seventh Jupes MclIntyre, first up, burned around the paths to third on a dropped fly and mixed up throwin by Kenyom, but no_one could bring him in. The coaching of Pitcher McInness of Carolma, a la Hughey Jennings, witli whistle and monkey shir.es, was unc of the features and kept everybody hap- py. Carolina was out i order in the firat inning, but the C. A. C.'s got aft.’ th> shoots of McInness from the start Of the first six men up, Jim McClef- ferty was the only one who failed to get a Lit, netting four runs, assisted / a threw over third by Kenyon after flelding a hit from McManu; olina’s first run was second on errors by Fud Sulliv: . McManus, Fud dropping a throw which would have retired Spencer and Mc- Manus giving him a chance to score on a throw past first. Clever fielding and pitching kept the bases empty of Caro- lina men in the next three innings. In the sixth, with two out, Simcox pass- ed two in succession and Christopher poled out a single scoring ome run, At the beginning of the ninth Jupes Mc- Intyre gave Melnness a two bagger b misjudging his fly and when Driscoll let a grounder through McInness scored with the final run.

JR's LOST TO FITCHVILLE Broken by Score of in the Eighth. Winning Stre 10 to 8—Up in Al After capturing ten straight games thus far this season, the C. A. C. Ju- niors had their winning streak broken by the Fitchville nine on Sunday aft- ernoon, a good sized crowd of rooters going up to the mill village with the city team. All went well until the fatal eighth, when poor support of Murphy, who pitched his best game of the year for the Juniors, brought in 9 tallies for the home team, effectually smothering the visitors' hopes. The game ended 10-8 in favor of Fitchville. The score was 6-1 in favor of the Juniors at the end of the first half of the eighth. In the second half a base on balls and, four errors, com- bined With hits into the trees in left fleld, Tesulted in 9 runs for Fitchville. Up fo that time it had been a pitchers’ battle between Kane and Murphy, but although the Juniors made a brave try two runs were all that they could fetch in in the ninth. The bright points of the game were Driscoll's homer in the eighth and Kane's star catch. Murphy, too, was there with the big stick and drove out two threebaggers and a double. Nine strikeouts were marked down for Murphy and 8 for Kane. The lineups: Fitchville—Fields 1f, Coughlin 1b, Gibbons 2b, Marra ss, Allen 3b, La- valle ¢, J. Kane.rf, Burdick cf, B. Kane p.

Clyde Waters Pitches Into a New Britain Rooter and Nearly Broke up the Game, The first serious riot of the season to occur at the Savin Rock grounds at New Haven, and one which all but broke up the game agd threw the crowd into an uproar, marked_the close uf Saturday’ Detween New Haven and Wate-bury, when Clyde Waters, the local catcher, aggravated by the joshing of an unknown rooter 57 4-5 seconds, which is 2 2-5 seconds slower than the best American time for the distance. There was somewhat of a sul when, the ‘starters came to the to see among them H. J. Handy, of the lllinois Athletie club, one of the fastest of ‘he western contingent, and a swimmer whom his adherents had brazzed about to mo little extent as the equal of any one in the east. The Chicago athlete was not only a con- siderable bit from Daniels’ class, but “Bud” Goodwin, the metropolitan champion, also showed his heels to the itor. FIBERNIAN GAMES.

Pitchers Bill Carrick and Andy Herbst also figured in the fracas, and before the “rough house” subsided one of the most unusual and unseemly scenes ever seen on a New Haven baseball fleld had been enacted. That the riot did not assume serious proportions was due only to the intercession of some of the cooler ball players and fans, who parted the pair. One report was that he came down from New, Britain. He was rooting for Waterbury at any rate, and though he howled at all of the New Haven players at ‘every opportunity, Waters came in for some extra rough joshing. He didn’t stop to give his name after the fight, but fled over the top row of the bleachers. Whether at bet, catching, coaching or running bases, Waters was made a target of the knocks of the unknown rooter, and more than once the New Haven catcher tried to get a line as to who he was and just where he'sat. Just Who the rooter was, however, wasn't learned by Waters until the ninth inning when some of his team- mates spotted him from the bench. Waters, Carrick and Herbst then started across the field together, few realizing at the time what was up. Carrick and Waters walked slowly down the first base coaching line, Herbst going around inside the bleacher fence. Carrick was then seen to point to the fan with the green tie, who got up as if to make a quick get-away. Herbst reached up and grabbed at him and Waters cleared the fence with one jump and rushed up at his annoyer. There was a flying of fists and then fans behind the New Britainer pushed nim forward so that he and Waters both fall hack onto the ground in a heap. Everybody was up in the air by this time, the crowd pouring onto the diamond, and sur: rounding the pair. Waters' teammates with Manager Bone came over on the run with the Waterbury players. The umpire called time and all hands were in a fine mixup before Waters and the green tie were separated. The catcher was led back to the bench by his_fellow players as soon as_possible and the green-scarfed New Britainer was last seen dropping over the fence out of the ball grounds. The West Haven police didn’t do anyarr-sting, and it was 15 minutes before the grounds viere cleared so that the game aat Charter Oak park, under the aus pices of the local division Ancient Ofder of Hibernians.

New York, Aug. $.—Bids for t Jeftries-Johnson fight for the heav weight championship are expected to be made in numbers within the com- ing ten days and the pots of pugilism will boil over with discussion of the coming mill between the erstwhile Dboilermaker and the negro. While many offers for the fight will doubt- less be made by clubs in various parts of the country, it.is a well understood fact that only two states will permit a_heavyweight championship mill within their borders—Nevada and Cal- ifornia. Hugh McIntosh, who pulled off the Johnson-Burns fight in Australia, is awaiting Jeffries' arrival in Europe, and will doubtless make an alluring proposition to the retired champipn to battle with Johnson in the antipodes. Offers for the mill are not unlikely to be received from the National Sport- ing club of London and the Cirque de Paris. Sam Berger said today that there would be no difficulty over arranging the final conditions with Johnson sas to the division of the purse, the wear- ing of bandages, the length of the bat- tle, and the referee. 'No_unisual demands will be made on Jeftries' part” said Berger. “Jeff wants’to fight and under conditions that Johnson and the public will think are fair.” SOWLING and McClafferty Win Fi e in Roll off at Rose Alleys— Teams Qualify.
