Tom Colcolough the ex-Pirate, haa signed with Syracuse. No use talking, they can't keep the rejuvenated Rochesters down. The ball has got to travel pretty fast to get through Baltimore's infield. Toronto is now filling the place occupied by Rochester a few weeks ago.

Pitcher Quarles, who was released by Scranton, has been signed by I'ottsville. New York holds the season's record for one game 14 being made on the 13th instant. Pitcher Mike Kilroy. released a week ago by Grand Rapids, has been re-signed by that club. With Pop Smith as captain, the Bing-hamton team is coming to the front in the New Y'ork Ix-ague.

The once famous pitcher Con way, has been resurrected by the Grand Rapids club for a trial. Anson has by no means lost faith in Jiggs" Parrott, who is right ou hand every day ready to play. Thomas Kelly, of Buffalo, N. said to be a good umpire, has been secured by the Iron and Oil League. Charley Esper has relapsed into his old habits to such an extent that Haiti more fans are yelling for his release.

Buck Ewing frankly admits that his Cincinnati team's chief defect is weak hitting, whereas hitting counts for much. Four pitchers of league teams have struck out ten men in a game this season. They are Inks, McGill. Rusie and Stivetts. Dave Orr, the hardest hitter of them all in the American Association days, tend the bleacher gate tit the Polo Grounds in New York.

Pitcher Griffith, of Chicago, remind one of Tim Keefe. He doesn't depend much on speed, but manages to mix all kinds of delivery up nicely. Pitcher Ilerndon, of Buffalo, has been fined .10 by Manager Morton and sus pended indefinitely for an undue indul gence in intoxicating liquors In every city on the circuit "Dummy" lloy is Haunted by the mutes. 1 liev are proud of the deaf and dumb ball player and give their fingers lots of exercise Joe Quinn has accepted the manage, ment of the St. Louis team.

Breitenstein with St. Louis, Esper with Baltimore, Killen with Pittsburg, McGill with Philadelphia, Ink with Louisville and Knell with Cleveland A ball player who cannot sacrifice well should not be asked to. Take him out ou tho Jot every morning and practice him un til he does learn it. I'ntil he does learn his attempts are considerably worse than suicide. The many inquiries as to the age of Anson have caused the "Grand Old Man" to declare himself.

He Says he is 4.J years old. Next to him the man in the league who withstood the advance of time best is Jack Glasscock -Umpire Snyder got himself thoroughly disliked by the Scmnfon cranks yesterday. They said that his decisions were r-r-r-rot ten. Snyder doe seem to be earning his salary as an umpire on suspicion, sure enough. There are others, too.

Breitenstein ami Joe Quinn undoubt edly played the l.et. ball of any of the Browns em the Eastern trip. The work of the former stamps him as the greatest pitcher iu the league, while Quinn's batting and fielding was a feature of every gi1 me. It is almost a settled fact that Jouett Meekin is to be numbered among the has boeris of the base ball profession. His arm has at last given way to the strain ho labored under in the latter part of last year, and experts say that he will never the twirler he once was.

Shannon, the hard-hitting and fast lit tle shortstop of the Springfield team of the Eastern League, is talked of as a successor to Fuller, of the Giants. lie is smaller than the latter, but much more re liable, both in the field and at the bat, and his presence em the team could not fail to strengthen it. Cantain Anson says the Chicagos have not had much luck and that they have not riaye'd good ball. Inasmuch as the Chicagos ore considerably higher in the fight than they have be-en for several years, and give every indication of staying there, some people would like to know what the old hieftam idea of good ball playing may be. Not since the rittsbnrg of 190, when Hecker and Decker were a battery, has there been a pair of pi lyers in any promin- nt team whose names rymed.

Princeton College now comes forward with I'ayne ml Jayne, and earns the laurel for the best combination since Vermont University had Abbey, Priest, Church and Sanctuary all playing on the same team. Captain Ewing has forbidden his play ers from visiting with the opposing players during a game. He and Latham are agreed on one particular and that is that all friendship ceases at the base lines. Ewing believes that his men play better ball and complications nre less liable to arise when there is 110 intercouise between members of the two teams except in a business way during a game. Huvlor Westervelt, the ex-collegian, who pitched last year for New York, and President Freednian are having a con- trovers in the newspapers in regard to the pitchers signing to play with the Giants this season.

e-stervelt agreed to play this vear at the same salary he received last season, but declined to work for a while on probation, as Freenlman suggest ed. Public opinion is in favor of the pitcher. During the Montgomery-A ew Mrienns game ot ixn, at Montgomery, xne crowd, angry over some of Umpire Nichols' decisions, dosed in on him and pounded him with fists and canes and umbrellas until blood flowed ceipionsly from about his head and neck. Officers finally dispersed the crowd and the game was resumed without further incident. Nichols was not seriously hurt.

About twenty citizens were arrested. The Fourth Will be a Great Day At Ontario Beach. In addition to the regular attractions there will be day fire works of a novel character in front of the Hotel Ontario, and in the evening a daz zling display will be made on the grounds of the Bartholomay Cgttage. It is prom ised that the fireworks feature will sur pass in magnifie-ence anything heretofore se-en in this vicinity. Go to Ontario Beach on Thursday, by all means, and take the family with yon.

YALE WILL ACCEPT. Willing to Contest Against Oxford and Cambridge Universities. New Haven, June 20. A meeting of Yale's track athletic advisers was held to-day relative to immediate action on tin; matter of accepting the challenge of the English track teams to Yale and Harvard for a meet in this country late in the summer. The Y'nle factulty, the athletic advisory committee, graduate alumni and the captains and managers of the Yale team for two years were repre-sentii'w It was unanimously decided to accept Yale's half of the challenge and in the formal reply to the English team, to express tho hope that a team may be sent to this country to meet Yale in order that the first English team may have a precedent for making regular, or lit least intermittent visits to America, and second that Yale may be given fin opportunity to return the bountiful courtesies extended to her last summer by the English team and theit friend.

Shoemakers Play Ball. A hot game of base ball was played at Riverside Park yesterday afternoon between nines from the shoe manufactories of Curtis Wheeler and P. Cox. In the sixth inning. Richard Keyes, who was at bat, was hit by a pitched bnll from the band of Frank Senior, the pitcher for the opposing team, and rendered unconscious.

The bull struck him just below the temple on the left side and was a narrow escape from being serious. He was restored to consciousness and taken home on a cur, where he soon recovered, aside from a severe headache. The game resulted in a victory for the Cox club by a score of 12 to 11.

A den of rattlesnakes has been discovered near the Gleli House below the lower falls, and along the shores of that part' of the river the snakes are said to lie becoming quite numerous, in spite of the fact that they are within the tuundaries of a city of inhabitants. It sems sur- prising that such dangerous reptiles shouM 1j found in so public a place, but thr nre several men who vouch for the truth, of the stories of the discoveries, and plana are already being made for a visit to onj of the dens with the intention of capturing the inmates. On Thursday two young men called oa': Peter Gruber, otherwise known as Rattlesnake Pete, and toll him that e-arl ott the aftemeion of that day they had "been climbing about on the rocks just above tho ruins of the (Men House, when suddenly they were startled by a strange buzzing noise, and, on going a step or two farther, almost stumbled upon a huge rattler curled up on a rock In the sunlight, Fhaklng his rattles very viciously. The young mem had never come face to face with such a snake before, and they were pretty badly, frightened for a moment. Then they plucked up courage, and threw a rock at tho snake, which struck savagely at theim in return.

After a time they found a long pole, and, standing about six feet away from the rattler, they struck it several times on the head and killed it. They; took the bedy to Rattlesnake Pete, whoi found it measured about four feet. There were seven large rattles 011 the tail. i Half an hour after this encounter as they were about to start for home the! young men were again startled by thai nittling of a snnke. They were not far! fioin the scene of their first and about midway between tho top of! the high bluff and the river.

They crept I forward very slowly, and cautiously, ami soon found the snake, which, when It saw them, started off over the rocks. Thev gave chase, but the snake was too fast for them, ami darted into its hole. They poked sticks down the hole, and thomrht of getting pails ot water and drowning the animal out, being only amateurs in the art of snake catching, but the snake seemed to have no desire to tight, and they did not see it again. To-morrow, if the sun Is shining. Rattle snake Pete will gi to the place where the snake disappeared, and try his skill at capturing it.

From the reports he has heard he is In hopes of getting several of the reptiles. lie made a visit to the spot on Friday, but it began to rain when he reached it, and he knew from experience' that such weathr would drive the snakes into their holes, and so he abandoneel the hunt. Last Tuesday John Moore, a laborer on farm in Irondequoit. was walking along the bank of the river nearly a mile below the Glen. House ruins, when he saw a rattler gliding along over the rocks.

He mado no effort to kill it. He says the snake wns a very large one, and from the savsgo way that it thrust out its tongue he thought best to have nothing to do with it. lie thinks it must have had at least eight rattles. It has been many years since rattlesnakes have been killed in this vicinity, and people with a knowledge of snake lore nre at a loss to understand why they have returned. If they iucivase in number as they apparently have re-ently Rattlesnake Pete may be obliged to undertake their extermination.

The spring regatta of the Rochester Canoe Club was sailed yesterday afternoon on Irondequoit bay. The plensant weather. combined with the brisk breeze that blew from the north and ruffled the surface of the bay combined to make up a day per fectly suited lor aquatic sports and pre cluded the possibility of the two sailing races that were on the programme degon crating into drifting contests. The regatta was witnessed by a full quota of the members and their friends who were amply entertained although, ov ing to a late start, the afternoon was well spent before the hand paddling race, the last on the card brought the first of the club's features for the present season to a close. The course for the sailing races was laid off the club house pier, the first log being toward the north, the second toward the east and the third back to the starting point, a red Hag buoyed four rods from the pier.

Four boats qualified for the first race, trophy sailing, four and one-half miles, II. V. Backus' Zaidee, John Stewart's Azis, II. M. Stewart's Marit and Fred Wolter's Hero.

The Zaid' forged ahead from the minute she crosset the line, followed in order by the Azis. the Marie and the Hero. Skipper Backus so cleverly maneuvered his craft that he held the lead until the finish and covered the course in the exceptionally fast time of one hour, five seconds. The time of the start and finish ami the actual sailing time of the canoes follows: Start. Finish.

The Zaidee, Marie, Azis and Hero started. The boats sailed from the stat. to the north buoy, paddled east to the third leg the triangle, and then set sail again for the finish.

Harry Stewart in the Marie secured the lest start, and until the last mile of the course appeared to be a sure winner. He was closely dogged by Jack Stewart on the Azis. The boats reached the north buoy, the Marie lead ing, the Azis next, the Zaidee third and the Hero fourth. Jack Stewart capsized while rounding the buoy, but ighted his boat so quickly that he lost little headway by the mishap. The paddling from the north to the east buoy bunched the canfx-s, but the Marie rounded the flag first.

After setting sail for home the Azis gradually closed up the distance letween her and the Marie, and reached the starting point less than a minute ahead of the latter. Stewart suffered another upset immediate ly after reaching the finish. The Zaidee finished third and the Hero fourth. The time follows: Start. 3 3:52:00 Finish.

The outside bicycle truck was iu fine condition for lively work and good time was made in all of the. cyc le races. The inside running track was a trifle soft in the cvuter but the races contested on it were made in fair time.

The last call for the first event, the one-fourth mile bicycle race, brought live men to the mark. Neither LeMessurier, Mc-Taggert or Kramer rocia and it was a tame affair, compared with those that followed it. On the crack of the pistol the men all got away in good shape and kept well together until the turn was reache-d when Harry Conolly drew away from the rest and finished five yards ahead of Hughes and Gunkler, who fought hard for second. Hughes beat Gunkler out by a foot and the balance of the starters were well strung out. In the 220 yard dash Stewart, who started scratch, had no difficulty in beating Perry, who had two yards allowance.

In the one mile novice race there were five starters. Clune did the pacemaking for the first two laps, and allowed the two men that were left after Mudge, Brew and Bahringer had gone down in a spill, to finish alone. McVickar got first place with Kaseman second. There were eight starters In the two-thirds mile handicap, and the race was a corker from the start. LeMessurier was the only scratch man.

LeMessurier rode hard from the start, and was even with the bunch on the first lap. The second lup hie passed the limit men and finished a Mose first, with Hughes second and Guuk-lir third. The r-st of the riders finished close together. In the mile run Croughton, who started scratch, showed great speed and beat out Stewart and Parry, who had thirty yards apiece. Croughton jollied along and ennght his opponents before they hud covered one hundred yards and then ran along with them for a short distance, and gave them the pleasure of seeing him crossing tho tape full twenty yards ahead of them.

The last regular event was the one mile hnndicap and it brought out five starters. W. liiills, who hud 115 yards allowance. was pi, ked for a winner as he has shown considerable speed in training, but he failed to come up to expectations and secured fourth place. Harry Conolly, from scratch, finished first with Gunkler aud Cook pedalling away for dear life for second place.

The finish was so close that it took the officials some time to decide which man was entitled to second isition. After some very strong language on the part of the supporters of the two men Cook was given lienefit of the doubt. The climax of the day's snort was the exhibition mile by William IjpMesmiricr. who sought to break his own and also the fra record. His mark is 2:0." made by iim abemt two weeks ago.

With such favorable conditions as prevailed yesterday it was thought that, he would ride dose to two minutes. At six o'clock LeMessurier came out of the club house accompanied by his pacemakers. After a preliminary warming up flying start was made. Plluke. one of the R.

A. speedy riders, tixik him the first third and a-t they whizzed by the mark the judges caught the time together. All the way around the first lap LeMessurier kept urging his pacemaker on but he was unequal to tne task anil could not take the rider the first third better than 42 seconds. On the turn Randall picked him up and took him the second lap in 412-5. On the third lay Harry Conolly took Randall's place and pulled LeMessurier last third in 42-5.

Mangled Remains of Cigarmaker McGraw Found Near Victor. An employe of the Central-Hudson railroad walking along the tracks near Victor yesterday morning aliout o'clock, found the horribly mangled body of a man lying in the ditch anel along the tracks, about two miles west of that village. The man was terribly frightened but recovered his couruge sufficiently to make an investigation of the affair, but the body had bee-n ground to pieces and scat-terenl over the tracks in such a horrible manner as to make it utterly impossible for him to discover the identity of the railroad's victim. He hurried to the station at Victor and informed the station agent of his discovery. The agent telegraphed to Coroner O.

J. Hallenbcck, of Canandaigua, and then se'iit a party of men to gather up the remains. He also informed Superintendent Gooid by telegraph at his office at the Central station on Central avenue. The coroner arrived on the scene shortly after noon and proceeded at once to make a thorough investigation. lie examined the mangled body aud found that the head had lieen crushed to a pulp and nearly sev-cred from the body, both legs ground and torn into small phves, and the upper extremities of the body actually torn iu shreds.

The man's coat was torn, but in one of the inside pockets was found a traveling card, showing the unfortunato man to be a member of the Cigar Makers' International Union. The card also showed the man's name to be McGraw and that it had been deposited with the secretary of the Rochester union. These facts were telegraphed to this e-ity, but the police and railroad author ities were unable to find a cigar-maker by the name of McGraw carrying a traveling cigarmaker's union card in this city. A Democrat and Chronicle reporter was a little more successful in his search. Train No.

210, jn charge of Conductor Dixie aud Engineer Vianco, left this dty Friday afternoon at 5:15 o'clock, and tho engineer says that when passing the place where McGraw's body was femnd yester day morning, he saw a man sitting on the end of the ties, and with his feet hanging over into the ditch, which runs close to the roadbed at that place. Eugineer Vianco also says that when ha made his return trip from Canandaigua on the train leaving Victor at 7:25 Friday evening, he saw the same man standing on the same spot, with one foot on the end of a tie and the other on the side of the trae-ks. This would seem to prove that the man was killed by one of the many different trains passing over the 'road during the night. The coroner and railroad men also think that after being struck and killed by one tiain. the body was run over by several others, cutting the body as it was when fei'inl.

Other engineers who made trips over that road during the night say that they say no body on the tracks and it will pre bably never be known just what train killed McGraw. Last evening the reporter called upon John II. Klausen, secretary of the local lodge of the Cigar Markers' Union, at his residence. No. 79 Scrantom street, and in answer to a question as to whether McGraw's home is in Rochester, or whether he was a traveling workman, was told a man ncmcd McGraw came to this city nliout rue year ago and deposited his union card with Financial Secretary Hackett.

Tho man afterward worked for David Harris ot his shop on State street, but tlwit for soroo time past he had been idle. Mr. Klausen said that there were two cigarmakers by the name of McGraw, who had wi rke'd in Rochester during the last year, and that one of them carried a travelling card, that his home was in Mt. Morris, but that whether he had drawn his card lattJy or not he did not know. The other McGraw was a young man about 2S years of age, was a mem-ler of and was initiated into the union bv the local lodge.

This fact, Mr. Klausen said, made him think that the man killed was the former, as he carried a traveling card and might have bee'n going to Syracuse or to his home in Mt. Morris. Neither of tho two McGraws spoken of by Mr. Klausen were married men.

Considering the mutilated condition of the body, there Is little hope of its being identified, unless the living McGraw appears before the authorities. He could not be located Inst evening by the reporter. Engineer Vianco thinks that the man was sober when be passed him Friday evening. The body, unless Identified and claimed by relatives, will be taken care of either by the local or the Geneva Cigar-makers' Union. It was taken to Canandaigua.

where an inquest will le held. rj EPIDEMIC AMONG THE FISH. Still Dying by Hundreds at the Caledonia Hatcheries. About three weeks ago It came to light that there was a serious epidemic among the fish at the Caledonia hatcheries which was killing the trout there by hundreds. The disease Is still doing its deadly work, and a great deal of loss has resulted since It out.

Professor C. W. Podge, of the University of Rochester, who made an examination of the fish brought back by the party who visit ed tho hatcheries soon after the disease broke out, was seen last night by a Democrat and Chronicle reporter, anil asked regarding the progress the dise'ase had made and what steps wens being taken to wipe It out. Ho said: "At the rvquest of certain memlwrs of the Caledonia Fishing Club I v'slted the hatcheries and the creek again a short time ago and made a report In writing at their reipiest. They asked me to make no public statement of the condition of affairs there, nor of the change which I might be led to suggest, for the reason that some of their plans might fail to carry If they became publicly known." The state authorities and the members of the Caledonia Fishing Club are becoming very much worried over the existing state of affairs and the progress the disease is said to be making, and every effort Is being made to overcome It.

While the disease first showed Itself among the trout, where It resulted most f.erlously. It Is said to be spreading to other kinds of flsh, both at the hatcheries end at the Ashing club's grounds. A Pastor's Reception. A largely attended and very enjoyable reception was tendered Rev. II.

R. Grieves and wife at the Parsells Avenue Baptist Church Friday evening. Rev. Mr. Grieves was recently elected pastor of the church, and the reevption was held iu honor of his very recent marriage.

Among others in attendance were Rev. F. L. Anderson and wife, of the Second Baptist Church. a.b.
