Notes.
All the teams in the National league
' have now been elmpleted, with the
exception of Watejburj-. Another of
Doe's schemes hasAieeii nipped in the
bud also, and it. is too bad that" Billy
Murray of I'rovioenee allowed himself
to be party to the scheme to disrupt
. this league, but that is what -it looks
like. Murray allowed the other mag
nates in this league to believe that he
was making herculean efforts to get
a team in Springfield. As a matter ofi
fact, he was doing nothing in that re
spect. He had not engaged the rink
nor had he engaged any players, at
least that. is the report that was sent
to this city, und in fact to every city
in the league. He probably conceived
the idea or Doe probably furnished the
conception, that if Springfield was not
in- the league at the last minute the
other teams would have to drop out,
.. as the schedule would bp. broken.
"When the managers learned of this
fact. Mr Aufort of New Haven was
at once consulted, and he journeyed
to Springfield. As a consequence.
Springfield has a rink and a full team
and is all ready for business. Man
ager Farsons will arrive in Watcrlmry
to-day, and he will have a team witli
him for sure, and when the ball opens
Monday Watorhnry will be in the
swim with the- rest.
. Tiro Southeastern league, at the
meeting held in Boston Inst night, vot
ed to come in under the National agree
ment. Jean Jacques has gone on "to
Tcrtland to confer with the. -Maine
league and ftl all probability' that
league will also come under the agree
ment. This will Tie a protection to
players and managers alike. After
this agreement" is made, it is very like
ly that if Poe asks for forgiveness
from tltft National league managers lie
may get it. They are a forgiving sort
of a crowd, rind they "wouldn't like to
prevent Doe from earning his bread
and butter.. Daly is another -man that
may be given" a taste of good man
ners. TOMMY HOLDERNESS SIGNED.
The Fopular Little Halfback Will Be
a Member of the Watorbury Team.
It will be good novs to the ma
jority of the fans in Waterbury to
know that Tommy Holderness will be
a member of the team this season.
He was always a favonte here and
would still be on the team had it not
been for Doe displacing him for Bar
ney Doherty.- He will be a welcome
addition to the .twtm. Manager Par
sons telegraphed this afternoon that
he had signed him and that he would
come" on at once.

Paul Gardner has been signed as

At the -meeting-of the National po
lo league held in Hartford, the Spring
field franchiset ,-wasJ turned over to
William Aufort. who managed the
New Haven team last season. Wil
liam H. Murray, who had intended to
transfer his rrovidenco club' to the
Massachusetts city, declined to take a
chance with a club composed of the
players awarded him by the league.
Mr Murray was anxious to locate in
Springfield and undoubtedly would
have done so had he been able to se
cure "Dickie"' Tierce and "Kid" Con
way for the team. These two play
ers, however, did not cnre to go there
and as Murray thought the prospects
were poor without them, he informed
the league that he would retire. In
order to keep the league intact the
franchise was awarded to Mr Aufort
and he has since been hustling to get
together a club that will give the peo
ple in the Massachusetts city good polo.
Immediately after the close of the
meeting he started to sign players for
his club and thus far he has secured
Eddie Mooney. BUI Whiting. Gavitt
and Bill Heffernnn. Mr Aufort tried
to sign Frank Wodtko. but the Dutch
man stated that ho" would not piny this
season.' He also looked up Hipson,
but was informed that the runaway
rusher had gone to Lewiston to join
Fred Doe's club. Last night Mr Au
fort was in this city for. the purpose
of securing Billy Curtis, a Fawtncket
youngster, who was highly recommend
ed to him by several of the stars. Cur
tis was made a good offer to play in
Springfield, but as he has partially
made up his mind to nrctt the game for
good, he did not give Mr Aufort a defi
nite answer. Curtis is a- fast man and
his friends in Ibis city are of the opin
ion that he could make good in the
big league if be decides to again get
into the harness. He will let Mr Au
fort know of his decision within a few
days. There is"no doubt. Mr Aufort
says, but what the league will go
through the season intact as at pres
ent constituted. For his Springfield
team lie has good backing by individ
uals and the league has also agreed
to stand behind him providing the
game should not prove to.be, ft paying
venture there. Springfield has the
reputation of being one of the best po
lo cities in New England, however, and
with a good team there is4ittlo fear of
the other magnates being compelled to
go down in their pockets to keep the
club on its feet. Fawtncket Times.
ON THE GRIDIRON,
Several Games Flayed But' Practice
Was the General Issue.
Manager Dunphy. of the St Thomas
Cadets' foot ball eleven, .is incensed
at some of the statements in the affi
le in last evening's Democrat m re
gard to the attempts to arrange, a game
between his eleven and the Elms In
justice to himself as manager, as well
as to the eleven, he denies the veracity
of the statement that Manager Cost,
grove of the Elms is not to be blamed.
He says the following are the facts
of the case:
About a month ngo Manager cos-
groye, of the Elms, had a conference
with Manager "Ilunphyi of. the St
Thomas Cadets: and' asked him" for -a
game on Thanksgiving day... The lat
ter answered in the affirmative".' ' Cos
grove then said that Griswcld wanted
him to arrange a game for that day.
and he (Cosgrove) asked dunphy it lie
would be willing to give ' Gviswold
33 1-3 per cent of the gate receipts
on that day, or $r0. Manager Dun
phy replied no. 1 bat he would give no
more than $'-. Cosgrove said no
would see Griswold about it.
About ten days later he saw Man
ager Dunphy again. This time he stat
eVl he didn't want a. game on Thanks
giving, but would like' one. onrlier in
the season. So Manager Dunphy
named November IS and he agreed to
it. A week ago last Tuesday he saw
Dunphy for tlie third! time. Again lie
cancelled the game on the date. No
vember 18. on which they had agreed
to play and again expressed a wish of
playing early as he didn't know
whether the team would hold together
long or 'not; but a. meeting Whs; tor be
held that night to decide whether the
team should be continued or not. Man
ager Dunphy said he would see him
later. OuS Thursday night of the same
week .they met again. Manager Dun
phy said he could give, the Elms a
game on October 25, as the game which
they were to play with the. Merrimaes
on that day" was cancelled. Further
more he would'give them ?25 to play.
He thought this was very reasonable,
as the Elms had journeyed to Union
ville for 915. barely enough to pay
expenses. Manager Cosgrove feplied
that his team wouldn't play that Sun
day for $50," as the players weren't in
proper condition. A short while after
wards Manager Cosgrove ' again saw
Manager - Dunphy . and - asked for a
game on Novejnhor ll5Ianager "Dun
phy refused' as his team was-to play
in Ansonia on that .-dayl Manager
Cosgrove then said that it looked, like
iiq game between the two elevens this
year, and Manager Dunphy co;nciuea
in this opinion. . x
" Manager" Dtmp'iy says" that" "he has
givn the Elnjs plenty of opportunity
to :arrange a game with'.liim and that
lie. does-not no.w.;jntend 'JaiHsarra.nge

weeks by Eddie "McEvoy, who"? has
taught them the latest plays. The Mer
rimacs are confident of defeating their
opponents again, as they did a few
Sundays ago, but this time so decis
ively that there can be no dispute. To
morrow night they will line up against
the strong Union City eleven for a prac
tice game. ' ' "' i ; ., ; '
Ithaca, Nov 1. Cornell's chances of
besting Princeton in the coming con
test on Saturday next have materially
decreased now .that it is learned that
Alexander will not be able to play In
the' game. Alexander's injury is more
serious than was at first expected, and
the big right tackle will not be allow
ed to don his uniform on that day.
The secret practice has continued, and
the gates were kept so close that not
even any of the students were allow
ed io witness the practice.
Philadelphia, Nov 1. Pennsylvania's
athletic committee has decided to play
McCracken against Harvard. This
positive statement was made last
night as the team left for Boston. The
feeling here is that Harvard's query
about McCracken is unnecessary-' in
view of the fact ' that last: fall the
Harvard committee asked Pennsyl
vania's committee whether it con
sidered McCracken a three-year or a
four-year footballer. Pennsylvania,
replied that he was then playing his
third year upon 'the team and Har
vard answered that that reply was
altogether satisfactory. The four
year rule cannot properly be brought
into the question because Harvard had
agreed that the "JO interpretation
should rule.
rrinceton. Nov 1. Princeton's under
graduates turned out in a body yester
day afternoon to watch the Tigeis at
work and incidentally to practice songs
and cheers for the coining contest with
Cornell. And what they saw amply
repaid them for the inconvenience
which they experienced on account of
the cutting north wind. ..which swept
down the field, for Princeton's 'Var
sity put up an article of football the
equal of which has not been seen here
this year. In the last twelve minutes
of phiy the representatives of the
Orange and Black rolled up 22 points
against the strongest scrub that could
be picked and -four touchdowns are
included jn that score. The new stands
are now completed. They will seat.
13.000 persons and the management
expects that a big" crowd ' will he on
them next Saturday.
Cambridge: Nov 1. Harvard had a
varied and encouraging jiracUce yes
terday afternoon. There was .n short
running signal practice for tlie backs,
a sharp line-up for the linemen in
which they were put opposite a ma
chine to test them as to slowness, con
siderable practice in receiving the
kick oft" and getting the hall lor punt
ing, and finally a fifteen minute game
to practice the 'Varsity on offence. In
the irame the 'Varsity scored four
touchdowns on long-end runs by
Gierasli, Devons and Putner. Sawin
and Gierasli were in the game. Lee
lihived through it, and Ellis did sonic
snappy work in the signal practice. So
all of Harvard's cripples will lie in
shape to play on Saturday. Bowditch
again displaced Campbell at left end.
Eaton played at left tackle all
through. Roberts had first choice at
center and Barnard at right guard.
To-morrow's practice will be the last
before the game on Saturday.

New Haven. Nov 1. Freshmen car
ried off the honors at the fall handicap
games on Yale field yesterday after
noon. The . veteran track men were
most agreeably surprised. No records
wore broken, but in the high and broad
lumps, two events in which Yale has
been without even second-class repro
sentatives for years, the performances
were first class. J. S. Spraker,, the
old Berkeley boy,, cleared 0 feet 21A

Jim Jeffries is Trying, to Call
Bob Fitzsimmons ";
It Is Regarded as One of the Big Pel-
low's Bluffs Lou Housman Criti
cises One of , the Chicago Clubs and
Fighters Patsy Sweeney and Andy
Watson 'Fight a Twenty Round Draw
Some. More Foints on) the Boxers.
James. J. Jeffries knows all about
the- uneasiness of '.the head that wears
crown. He wears the pugilistic
crown, but there are thorns in 'it. While
e assumes a contented and jovial air
tie realizes that a maioritv of the nel
sons who admire boxing are of the I
ODlll otl that n clisrbt flnW mo, -a thu
'.lampion's title. He knows that when
the ancient gladiator came forward
for 'a second fight with Jeffries, and
one week from the time the old chap
had capsized Sharkey," the cham
pion sidestepped.
Jeffries also knows that it was his
own proposition to fight Fitzsimmons
before the Horton law went out of ex-
stence, and nil.. talk of a battle there-
fter was idle talk, .feffrios. is now
trying to convince the public that Fitz-
tmmons was at fault.
Fitz .will fight again." said Jef
fries in a recent interview. "He re-
M-ed once before, you remember; told
ow ho had sworn to his wife that he
would never fight again and a lot more
rot of that kind. T-Iio public would
never have him as a theatrical star,
nd they wov't have him -now. As
soon as lie satisfies himself of this
fact, I think ho will lie willing enough
o light -again. He-is going around
from barroom to barroom boasting
nd bragging about how easily . he can
whip me. I want to see him under
take it. I gave him a licking once
hat he didn't forget for a year. I
would just like to get another chance
t. him, and if I do, I will give him
a thumping that he will never -forget.
to the day of his death."
"How is your lame arm?" the boil-
crmnker was asked.
I haven't any lame arm," he re-
ponded. "The arm that was lame is
all lisrht now. If I get a chance to
tackle Fitz he will swear to it after
ntn tlirouarh with him. If he won t
fight me. I think Gus Ruhlin is entitled
to tlie next, chance, don't you?"
"Ruhlin is a big, strong, powerful
fellow, and a decent one. He gave
me a good fight in California, and his
career has been honest and straight
forward, and, as he has never been
engaged in any faking that I know of,
I think he is entitled to more consider
ation at my hands than any other man
ii tlie rin!r to-dnv. barring b ltzsim-
mons. Who conquered him, and whom I
defeated with ease, and whom I desire
to defeat again, just to tiow the public
that I am in reality the champion of
the world."
It can be readily seen that Jeffries
ealizes the public does not regard him
as the real champion, end he hopes to
change that view by loud talk.
. It, is not improbable that Jeffries can
tent Fitzsimmons as thoroughly as he
claims, but what puzzles the public
the fact that when the old man
stood ready fo fight! in Madison Square
Garden on tlie nigtvt of August 31. the
last day of Horton law grace, Jeffries
declined to toe the mark
LOU HOUSEMAN'S STORY.
Lou Houseman writes the following
story about one of the scraps in Chi
cago: "Tlie uisgracerm row ensuing
on the decision of Referee Fallon at
the Star theater shows the utter lack
of discipline exercised by managers of
clubs in America. Such a tiling never
would have been permitted in an in
stitution like the National club of Lou
don. I understand that Harry, Forbes,
tlie brother of one of the principals in
the bout which precipitated the riot
in embryo, has been barred out or
the club quarters. A few such steps
will undoubtedly have the proper stay
ing effects on club ruffianism. Ihe
game is in a bad enough way without
further smirching it from within.
Manager Carroll may have erred in
permitting Fallon to referee the bout.
Patsy, who should know as much
about the art of refereeing as any one,
was hardly in shape to pass judgment
on any sort of contest Friday night.
His decision of a draw was a bad one.
This, however, did not justify Forbes
in his assault on the referee. The mat
ter might, have been adjusted by a
reversal of the decision at the-hands
of the club management. In. the final
between Sullivan and Yanger there
was not nough margin either way to
warrant a verdict other than a draw.
Sullivan did most of the forcing, but
this, as I have always maintained,
does not entitle a boxer to any con
sideration. Tommy flyan has won
most of his battles Ty making his op
ponent do the forcing, and then win
ning with counters or tetntlng ms vis
a-vie ,into bumping , up against his
(Ryan's)- own extended left. Sullivan
was somewhat of a disappointment.
His showing against Yanger was hard
ly as good as when he met' Buddy
Rvan;'.- His left was slow ana wtta,
while., his right appears to lack ail
distance judgment. That Sullivan
should have won over ueorge Dixon
demonstrates just how . far "Little
Chocolate" has gone back. Tlie Dixon
who whipped Cal McCarthy, Tommy
White, and Eddie Santry . could have
disposed of a couple of Sullivans one
after tlnvbther in the same ring. The
more I see of the present day feather
weights the greater my admiration
grows for the wonderful little boxer
from Boston. :xanger may some uay
make a. champion, but if-he does he
will have to go forward approximate
ly, as fast as Dixbh has gone back.
One lone, . straight left-handed punch
was all that Yanger was able to land
on his re-topped adversary. The lit
tle fellow, however, excelled at short
arm work, and in roughing it with
Sullivan he showed that he has lots
of strength -and knows how to husband
It. :. ...f . :.-.'. - ,. ,..-,!; .
BERNSTEIN USES JAWBREAKERS
Joe Bernstein; the champion of the
Ghetto, is now.- in Louisville, training
for a bout with McGovern to-morrow.
When 1 Joseph -.was asked some ques
tions about;-McGovern, he is said to
have replica:;. "Tlie secret of Terry
McGovern's success, -is his wonderful
physical ability, nothing more nor less.
There is no element - of psychology

Watson was taking
all the punching in game style up to
the end of the htth round, when he let
fly a wild right that caught Sweeney
on the jaw and almost put him out. !
Both tnen were in good shape when
the sixth round started and tliey
fought hard throughout that round and
the seventh, In a mix-up in the eighth ,
Sweeney cut Watsons eye open with
a heavy right. For the next two
rounds Sweeney .had just a shade the
best of the work, but Watson cut loose
in the eleventh and with two quick
lefts on the jaw he had the local man
groggs'. Sweeney only saved himself
by clinching and it was all that the
referee could do to separate the pair.
Both men were tired and their work
up to the sixteenth when they began
to slug again, exchanging punch for
punch .all over the ring. Sweeney was
cautioned twice in this round for hit
ting, low. There .was no let-up and
with both men on their feet at the
end of the twentieth round, the referee
declared the bout a draw.

TOD SLOANE COMING HOME.
Disgusted With the Trince He Declares
He Was Made Scapegoat.
London, Nov 1. "Tod" Sloane will
sail for the United States next Tues
day. He "contends that he has been
used as a scapegoat. Sloane has de
cided to shake the dust of England
from his feet after his seemingly un
justifiable treatment by the Prince of
Wales. Wales yielded to the "moral
suasion of such . ranters as Durham,
and when one comes under the royal
eye of displeasure it is just as well
to remove- to other climes, i. is in
conceivable on- what grounds II, It.
II. sent Sloane out into the cold world
again, and it will not be necessary for
him to explain, on the ancient theory
that kings can do no wrong, and that
seems to be sufficient to satisfy the
well-watered blood of the English
sportsman. . , -

SAVING A SUMMER RESORT.

. - .''I spent several weeks last summer
in a quaint, delightful little moun
tain village in South Carolina," said
an old clubman the other, evening, re
lates the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
"and I found, a rule in force
there which could .be adopted with
advantage at numerous other locali
ties. I went to the place" by mere
chance, and one of the first things
that impressed me after my arrival
was the total absence of the extor
tion ' one usually encounters at even
the smallest resorts. Everything was
amazingly good and reasonable, and
I marveled how the natives had been
kept unspoiled. One afternoon during
the first week of my' stay I found out
I was sitting on the porch of the lit
tle hotel when a buggy drove up and
a well-dressed man descended. He
was a new arrival, who had been tak
ing a ride in the mountains. 'What
do I owe you?' he asked of the coun
tryman who drove the rig. 'Oh, I
reckon a dollar's enough,', drawled the
other. 'Pshaw!' exclaimed the stran
ger, 'it's worth more' than' that,
Here's a two-dollar bill.'
"The money was about to change
hands when a broad-shouldered chap
from Louisville, who had been staying
at tne notel all summer, tumped up
from a chair at my side and stepped
between the -pair. 'Hoid on!' he said,
firmly. 'We can't allow that. Give
the driver what he oskS but no more.
'Well, I don't see that; this is any of
your business, drawled ' the new
comer, in great surprise. 'I propose
to make it my business,' retorted the
Louisville man. 'Give him a dollar
and let" him go.' 'I'll be hanged ife I
will,' said the stranger, getting red.
'I'll pay him what I blamed please.'
Then you'll have me to lick,' said the
Kentuckian, calnily,. and peeled off
his coat. The other man took a look
at his torso and weakened. 'Oh, well,'
he said, 'it isn't worth" fighting about,
and with that he tossed the country
man a dollar and strode inside. 'We
have to do this in self-defense,' said
the Louisville man, apologetically, as
he resumed his seat. 'A few of us
discovered this resort, and now we're
trying to keep it uncontaminated.
About all the pleasant loafing-places
in Europe and America have been
spoiled by confounded idiots who have
more money than brains and insist on
overpaying for everything they get.
The consequence is that they mill
prices to such an extent that fellows
of moderate means like myself can't
afford to take a vacation, and some
of us old boarders have quietly or
ganized a protective league to hold
things down to a reasonable level.
We've had to lick two New Y'orkers
and a dude from Philadelphia, but al
together the scheme has worked first-
rate.' I applied for membership im
mediately, and never enjoyed a visit
more in my life. There ought to be
branch leagues a'l over the country."
