WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1900.
Lots of Talk Still Going on
About the Rina-side.
Tim Corbett Has Returned to New
V York and He Says Jeffries Is Afraid
of Him Tommy Feltz Defeats .Joe
Hurst Billy Smith of New York
Wins a Fight in London.
James J. Corbett returned to New
York yesterday alter a week's vaude
ville iucursiou of Chicago. lit? said
he was very successful, despite the
burning of one theater in which he
was playing. "I am going to stay iu
my cafe in this city for a time," lie
said, "and attend to my business. I
have had some idea of going to Cuba
to box, but it will depend on what ar
rangements can be made. I saw that
McOovern-Broad fight and it was a
bummer. When Cans and MeUovera
light on December 11 I intend to ar
range an excursion to take iu the bat
tle. But here is something I want to
say, and it may surprise some people.
There will arrive iu New York in a few
days a man of solid financial standing
who will offer a large purse for a bout
between Jeffries and myself. This
man will post a substantial forfeit to
guarantee that he will bring off the
bout in a large city east of the Missis
sippi river. This town has over 300.
000 inhabitants and is centrally lo
cated. The man will offer a purse for
a twenty or twenty-five round bout.
Then we will see what Mr Jeffries will
do. I notice.' said Corbett, "that Mr
Brady says I was not mentioned in
connection with a six round bout, in
Chicago witli Jeffries. Now, I saw
'the letter written by Brady to Lou
Houseman, matchmaker of the Tatter
sail's dub. asking that I be matched
to box Jeffries six rounds. I will
wager Brady Sl.ono that I can produce
the letters in which he mentioned my
name. He simply .thought he would
catch mo out of condition, and when
he found I was ready for him. he
, -switched. Jeffries knows better than
to box in six rounds. Iu fact, he is
afraid to box me at all: but he can't
slide out of a match and get away
with it."
TOMMY FELTZ WINS.
Taterson. Nov liO. Tommy Feltz of
Brooklyn knocked Joe Hurst of Fhila
delphia out in the seventh round at
the Starr of the Passaic County A. C.
last night. The men fought at 112
pounds and were to go twenty rounds.
In the first three rounds the Philadel
phia:! had a shade Iho better of it on
points, although both men were light
ing fast. Then Feltz seemed to get
Ix tter. He led for Hurst's stoma -h
and reached it repeatedly. He soon
had Hurst groggy any by the end of the
sixtli round Hurst was at his mercy.
In the seventh round a right hand
punch under the heart put Hurst to
sloop. In a iireliminarv bout, Billy
Duiir-m put Eddie McOinty out in the
seventh round. Duncan landed a
heavy blow on McCinty's jaw and it
took McOinty six minutes to recover.
Eddie Cain of Brooklyn, a brother of
Joe Cain.' the lightweight, met Chris
McCann of Passaic. They were to go
twelve rounds, but after the second
round the referee stopped the riirht
and declared it no contest, as Cain
was thirty pounds heavier than his op
ponent, whom he was punishing se
verely. THIS AMERICAN WINS.
London. Nov 20. At the National
Sporting club last evening what was
to have been a 'fifteen round contest
took place'hetween Biliy Smith of New
York and Bill Fielder of London, the
affair coming to an abrupt termination
in the second round with an easy vic
tory for the American. Smith scaled
five1 pounds overweight, but Fielder
consented to go on for a monetary con
sideration. In tile course of the even
ing Kid McCoy was introduced. He
was well received and announced that
he intended to spend the winter in
England.
ONE YACHT FOR LIPTON.
Shamrock II.. the challenger for the
America's cup, will be built by the
Henderson Brothers at Meadowside,
on the Clvde. David Barrie. who is
Sir Thomas Lipton's representative in
this country, was'positive in his state
ment yesterday to this effect. Mr
Barrie said: "I am amused at the
cablegrams stating that the new boat
is to be built by Denny & Co. I stat
ed over a week ago that she will be
built by the Hendersons, and I repeat
the statement. The contract for the
building of Shamrock II. has already
been signed with the Hendersons. They
built the Valkyries and other challen
gers. ' They always have been Wat
pon's favorite builders. The story .that
Sir Thomas Lipton is having two boats
built, one at Hendersons' and one at
Denny's, is. sheer nonsense." The con
tract calls for the handing over of the
completed yacht March 30 next. -and
the only , other .stipulation binding
'.Messrs ' i. and W. nenderson is to
build the yacht in accordance with Mr
Watson's .designs, ---
BASKET BALL THIS EVENING.
The crack Yale basket ball team will
be the opponents of lie Y. M. C. A.
five at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium this
evening. For three consecutive years
' Yale has been beaten by the local five
and to-night she intends to wipe out
these defeats by a grand victory. The
.-Yale five is a fast lot of. youngsters,
who play with vim and dash and ac
curacy. It does one good to see their
snappy team play. But in all these
things they have their equals if not
their ' superiors in the local players.
The game, which will commence at S
o'clock, will no doubt attract a large
crowd. The following will be the link
up of the two teams:

Gould and Fincke.wnq play respec

lale 'varsity eleven, which so over
whelmingly defeated the . Princeton
Tigers last. Saturday, will be remem
bered by local lovers of football as
being members of the Yale freshmen
team which played the St Thomas
Cadets football eleven in this city in
1808. Ramsey, Adams and Hubbard,
who are substitutes on the-Yale eleven,
also played iu that game, which the
local eleven won. The St Thomas was
a powerful eleven, that year, but it is
no exaggeration to say that the team
this year is in every way equally as
good. Before the season opened the
management of the St Thomas Cadets
promised to give the public good foot
ball in return for liberal patronage.
The game has been well patronized so'
far and consequently the St Thomas
management intend to give the public
the best Thanksgiving game ever of
fered In Waterbury or vicinity. Al
ready this season they have expended
about S250 for football expenses and
this will be increased to over $400 by
the end of the season. It will cost over
$ir0 to bring the Fifth Artillery
eleven here, but the management hopes
to be well repaid for its labor and ex
pense by having the largest crowd that
ever attended a football game pres
ent on that day.
Philadelphia. Nov 20. Pennsylvan
ia's team continued its erratic work
yesterday. Bornett, Hedges. Stearns
and one or two other graduates were
out and they coached the. scrub, who
played a very strong game.'
New York, Nov 20. There was no
foot ball practice at Columbia univer
sity yesterday and the men wiil rest
to-day also. To-morrow linal prepara
tion will begin for the Carlisle game.
It is considered very doubtful at the
university whether the faculty will al
low the team to accept California's of
fer for a game on the Pacific coast for
Christmas, but no decision has as yet
been arrived at.
Cambridge, Nov 20 Harvard's reg
ular team was on the line-up yester
day, and the work was such that the
coaches came out with smiles on their
faces and iov in their hearts. In the.
thirty minutes in which the 'varsity
lined up against the scrubs two touch
downs were scored, but as the work
was mostly on the offensive, that does
not truly indicate the character of the
work;
New Haven. 'Nov 20. Vale coaches
tried a risky experiment yesterday,
when they lined up nine of the 'var
sity players who were in last Satur
day's game with Princeton for a hard
scrimmage half. They quickly were
convinced of the fact that the 'varsity"
had been played enough for 1he pres
ent by the listless manner in which the
regulars acted on the gridiron. They
seemed unable to get into the play
quickly and were continually thrust
aside by the second team. In both ag
gressive and offensive work the regu
lars were unable to do anything. They
could not land the ball on the scrubs'
territory and the scrubs kept pushing
their wav through the regulars for
scores. Two touchdowns and a goal
from the field was the record the
scrubs made during the twenty min
utes, while the 'varsity had no chance
at a score.
JOHNSON WANTS WAR.
Frepared to do Battle With the Na
tional Base Ball League.
Chicago, Nov 20. Aroused by recent
interviews with President Young of
the National league. Ben Johnson yes
tenia y stated for the first time the
positive plans of the American league.
He admitted his organization had
failed to renew allegiance to the Na
tional agreement, and stated positive
lv that it neither could nor would tin
til said agreement, was changed. Pres
ident Johuson said:
"We are trampling on the rights of
no one, and I have written President
Young to this effect, telling him there
is still no need of friction with the
National league, provided fairness and
common sense prevails. In going into
me east aim paralleling me .muioiku
league, .as we are now prepared to do.
it is absurd to longer class us as a sec
ondary organization.
As a matter of fact, we have occu
pied Washington and Baltimore large
ly in order to protect our own inter
ests. In that much-talked-of confer
ence between the two leagues, held at
Cleveland last year, the National
league promised to protect that unoc
cupied territory and also to satisfy Mc-
Graw. It has been able to carry out
neither of these promises. It was
the American league, not the National
that crushed the aspirations of the Na
tional association, and we were forced
to do 'this- for our own protection,' q
long as there was a field for .another
organization besides ours: to : parallel
the National league our. interests were
unprotected. ; - ."," .:; i
' hue we' oourt no rrictlon ; nor
.trouble of any sort in eastern territory,
nevertheless we have fortified our
selves so that .we are able abundant
ly to protect ourselves and will do so,
The National league hardly has been
able to govern itself, and, that being
the case, it scarcely has been in
position to protect other leagues.
"I think still that it is for the inter
est of both organizations to work to
gether amicably rather than to seek
trouble, but I will say that the Ameri
can league will not petition the nation
al organization at the annual meeting
of the latter organization in New York
for any concessions whatever. If it
sees fit to grant them, however, we
will be pleased to work with the older
league for the good of , the national
game. ' .
The American: league headquarters
again were, the scene of an important
meeting of, some of the magnates yes
terday. Urged on by the recent ru
mors to the effect that Buffalo might
be minus a franchise next- season.
President Franklin has joined the anx
ious class. He spent the day with
President Johnson, talking of the Pan
American exhibition, and. ,dilating on
the great base ball opportunities of
fered by his city for next season. It
now seems that Franklin's wishes may
be respected and that the Bisons wiil
make the eighth club in the circuit.

The Waterbury Players Put Up a Stiff
Article of Polo New Haven Has a
Snap With Hartford Frank Warner
May Join the Meriden Team Wa
terbury Is Tied for Third Place.
The Waterbury polo team dropped
into Springfield last night and the
players threw a bombshell into the
camp of the Springfield players. It
was expected that Springfield would
have a walkover with the Waterbury
team, but this was a mistake, for the
walkover was on the other side. Wa
terbury started in to win that game
right from the first sound of the whis
tle, and in less than half a minute
young Daly had put the ball behind
Heffernan for the first goal. Pierce,
iu order to keep up the hopes of the
fans, sent the ball behind Fox for
the first goal for Springfield in less
than two minutes of play. Daly fol
lowed with another for Waterbury
after nearly three minutes of play, aud
Pierce again sent one behind Fox to
keep the score a tie. Then Waterbury
started away with a jump and the next
three goals were taken by Jean, who
made two and Daly one. That closed
the first period. In the second period
both teams fought hard and only two
goals resulted, one for each side. In
the last period three goals were made.

New Haven, Nov 20. Hartford went
to New Haven last night with the in
tention of wiping up the floor with the
bodies of the champions of last sea
son. The visitors started off with a
rush and the fans thought New Ha
ven was up against it. Schofield
scored the first goal and then Tom Cot
ter made a foul in goal, which counted
one for New Haven, and that seemed
to take away the life of the visitors,
for after that they never were iu the
hunt. New Haven just toyed with
them and the results shows how well
it was done. The score and sunimarv:

New Haven here to-morrow night.
The report from Meriden that Frank
Warner will soon wear a Meriden uni
form seems to bring out the true state
of affairs as regards this player. War
ner evidently did not want to play in
Waterbury, and no doubt if the deal,
goes through for him to play with Mer
iden he will have , a mail right, off . to
take that job in his. store. .
, By the .defeat; ,-oX Springfield ... last
ijjght, Waterbury demonstrated . that
Elbe is not so far, behind the tluje'e .teams
which have constituted themselves the
pennant winners. Waterbury has
beaten Hartford and Springfield and
now it is New Haven's turn, and she
may get the same medicine to-morrow
night when she pays us a visit.
The rink should be packed from door
to door to-morrow night, when New
Haven conies here. It will be the first
time that many of the fans have had
a chance to see Johnny Griflin work,
and they will be given an opportunity
to-morrow night. New Haven will be
pushed from first to last and there
is no two to one shot on the result.
' Bartlett. with his long experience, is
the best halfback in the league. His
directing of plays and judgment in get
ting in front of the ball saved Clinton
many a setback. With Brockton Clin
ton shares the honor of havinte great
defense, and. according to exchanges,
a majority of the teams in the league
are favored the same way. Mullen
is in the myst4e circle, as the averages
show. Brockton Times. . :
Since its last appearance here the
Waterbury team has been greatly
strengthened bf the addition of John
Griffin, Who played with the team two
years ago and was released by Man
ager Cotter last week. "Griff" is a
clean player and a credit to any club
he belongs to.- He. is a hard worker
and the home club, will not have any
"snap" . in to-night's contest, for he
.has proven himself invaluable to the
club thus early. The.Waterbnrys have
done some excellent work -since their
first visit here and are sure to put up
a h4 article of polo. Springfield News.

Manager Miller of the Meriden polo
team is hustling to strengthen the lo
cal chip. He has about perfected ar-
raugenients with Waterbury for the"
services of Frank Warner and it is
quite probable that Warner will be
seen in a. Meriden uniform at Hartford'
to-morrow night and here on Wednes
day night., Meriden polo cranks will
give the speedy Meriden rusher a warm
welconle Wednesday night if plans
now In the works are perfected. Mr
Miller is also planning to change the
playing nights from Wednesday and
Saturday to Tuesday and Thursday,
and by next week the schedule will be
changed so that the games will take
place on Tuesday and Thursday. This
change will meet with hearty approv
al. Meriden is negotiating for a fine

will be secured in a few days. Meri

"DOFE" MEETING A FARCE.
Handful of Unknown Sports in Lon
don Discuss Thysicing of Horses.
London, Nov 20. The much-advertised
meeting called for yesterday to
consider the "doping" or physicing of
horses resulted in a ifarce. A handful
of unknown "sports," a few Americans
and a number of veterinary surgeons
composed the audience. Several of
the speakers said they believed the
American jockeys used electrical ap
pliances, but no evidence to that ef
fect was produced. The meeting final
ly resolved into a discussion between
America!! and English trainers, where
upon the chairman remarked-that the
subject of the meeting was lost sight
of aud invited all present who knew
anything about "doping" to hold up
their hands. There was no response
and the meeting ended.
The Standard, in. an editorial refer
ence to the meeting, says:
"It is pleasant to find that the wild
stories about American jockeys cannot
be substantiated. Mr Atkinson, who
organized the meeting, had absolutely
no case and got himself and others in
to a decidedly ridiculous position. Not
the slightest color was given to the
suspicion."
The Daily Telegraph refers to the
meeting as "a barren and ridiculous
gathering."
MAY BE DEPORTED.
Dowte's Laocmakera May Not Be Al
lowed to Work In ZIoii.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20. Samuel
W. Packard of Chicago, counsel for Dr.
J. , Alexander Dowie of Zionist fame,
has deposited $8,000 with the Interna
tional Navigation company and thereby
secured the release of the laceniakers
who arrived here from England lust
week and who were ordered deported by
the immigration commissioner from this
port on the ground that they were violat
ing the alien contract law. The release
of the lacemakers, who, with their wives
and children, number 25 persons, is on
ly a teiaporiir' one, as then case is now
before Secretary of' ' the 'Tasnry , Gage
at Washington on appeal. .The Jaoemuk
ers , were r brought here by Mr. Dowie
for the purpose of , establishing a "lace
making plant at Zion, the town founded
by him in Illinois. After they were or
dered deported the case was reopened,
and the commissioner again decided
against them. Then the matter was
curried to Washington, and a decision is
looked for the latter part of this week.
Samuel Stevenson, the manufacturer
who sold out his lace factory at Notting
ham, England, to Dr. Dowie, arrived in
Philadelphia yesterday. He says that
the installment of eight lace machines
which have just arrived in New York
are only the precursor of about 100 more
that are to follow them. Manufacturers
in England, he said, are now engaged in
constructing the machines.

MARRIED FOR LOVE.
Dulce of Manchester Says That's Why
-lie Wedded American Heiress.
LONDON, Nov. 20. The social sensa
tion of the hour is the secret marriage
of the Duke of Manchester to Miss Helo
un Zimmerman of Cincinnati.
According to The Daily Mail the mar
riage was the outcome of a long und ro
mantic attachment, but it was only last
July, to use the words of the duke him
self, that they discovered they had beou
iu love with each other all the time.
"Then the duke," says The Daily Mail,
"Kfciug that many suitors were pressing
their attentions upon Miss Zimmerman,
claimed her for himself. The engage
ment was announced, but was denied by
the relatives. Not being in a position to
marry they decided to await awhile. A
fortnight ago Mr. Zimmerman was ex
pected to arrive in London, and they had
decided to see him and to get his con
sent. He did no come, and therefore
they agreed to marry without delay.
They will sail for New York next Satur
day. "The duke wishes it to be known that
he married for love. He has not asked
and does not hope for a dowry with the
lady. The couple will settle at Tan
deragee." How Papa Zlniiucrman Feels.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 20. Eugene Zim
merman, vice president of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton railway and a di
rector in several other lines, was very
much surprised on 'reading the press ca
blegrams announcing that he was the
father-in-law of the Duke of Manchester.
He stated that the press reports were all
the information that he' had regarding
the matter and that he did not desire to
talk about the marriage until he was fur
ther advised. He insisted, however, that
there had been false reports about the
Duke of Manchester, that the duke had
never been engaged to any actresses, that
he is uet a spendthrift4 and has not been
as notorious as reports would make liim.
Mr. Zimmerman suid -i the fortune 'was
dissijMitvd beforq "-the present duke' as
sumed .his horitaj-p?; jMr. Zimmerman
stated that he had received word that
his daughter was pn her way to Ameri
ca aud that' he would go to New York
to avvait her arrival.' He had only the
kindest words to say of his daughter and
of whatever she may have done.

and allotting agents were recently
working- in the reservation of the
Comanche Indians, surveying, establish
ing corner stones and getting every
thing ready to divide the land in quar
ter sections, says the San Francisco Ar
gonaut. The Indians did not take very
kindly to the division and allotment of
their land, and, seeing that the whites
were scared, they decided to act The
surveyors were all tenderfeet from
Washington. Suddenly, without warn
ing, their camp was invaded by a yell
ing, shooting band of 500 Indians in war
paint and feathers. The surveying
party could not stand the pressure and
started out for the settlements along
the Texas line and- kept up their flight,"
pursued by the Indians, until they
crossed the state line. Then they tele
graphed to Fort Sill and the command
er there sent out a large cavalry force
to protect the surveyors. The general
supposition is that a lot of covbo3's
and young- bucks played a , practical
joke. .."..
