WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1900.

The Four Teams Are Having a
Very Warm Time. ,
Waterbury Is Holding Her Own and
Is Tied for Second Place New Ha

night. Waterbury turned the tables on Xew
Haven -last night and defeated her by
the same score that she was beaten ly
in New Haven in the afternoon. It
was one of the biggest crowds of the
season that crowded into the Auditor
ium, and all those present were well
satisfied that they came out on Christ
mas night to see the game. It was a
game that kept the people on edge un
til the last gong had sounded, and
every man on each team was in the
game fighting inch by inch to the last
ditch. It was one of those games that
make you get up on your feet and
yell, for the two teams were fighting
for the game from the moment the
referee's whistle sounded until all was
at an end. There was not an idle mo
ment on the floor and the fans were
given a full return for their money.
; Waterbury lost one goal on fouls, two
of them being made by Russell. The
last one was a peculiar one, Russell
tossing the ball into the New Haven
cage with bis hand. There was a
bunch of players around the cage at
the. time and it was hard to tell just
what was done, but the referee said
foul, and that settled it. The play
ers on each team were anxious also
about the outcome of the game, for
they kept tabs on the amount of time
they had in which to get goals, and
rfhat made the tight all ''the faster.
There was good team work on each
side, and the balls were fed up to the
rushers with equal precision, out some
how or other they were kept around
the New Haven cage more often than
around our own.
Waterbury made four goals in the
first period to one for New Haven, and
it looked as if we were going to have
a walkover. Then, in the second period,
Waterbury made but one, while New
Haven made three. This made things
look more even and in the last period
the New Havens started in with a
rush to win the game. Waterbury
started .to do the same thing and the
consequences were there was a battle
royal. Waterbury made the first goal,
which made it 'more interesting, and
then Jason scored one for his side. L'p
to this time two fouls had been called
on Waterbury. but Russell hammered
another ball in and the score looked
better. Then Russell did, his little
trick at the New Haven cage,- and off
came a goal, and the score stood to
5 in our favor; With but a minute or
two to play, New Haven started in like
demons to win out or tie the game,
but it was too late , -and the Ik II rang
with both teams lighting hard.

means a red-hot contest. If Meriden
wins to-night it will mean bringing
Waterbury down to pretty close quar
ters with that team. Of course, we
should win to-night, and we will make
a big effort to make that statement
good.
There must be something wrong
down New Haven way. There were
less than 1,0X paid admissions at the
game yesterday afternoon, and with
Waterbury. too.' Certainly a city as
large as New Haven should turn out
a bigger crowd than that, particularly
when the city has such a good team
of players. Jimmy Canavan deserves
better treatment than that at the hands
of the sport-loving people of New Ha
ven. A peculiarity of the standing which
has caused some comment is the fact
that every team has won more games
than it has lost, a circumstance which
is accounted for by the games of the
disbanded Meriden team. It has been
suggested that.it would bo fairer all
around if the games of the defunct
team were thrown out. Boston Globe.
Ring off and tend to business; both
you Boston men are becoming very
tiresome.
Fox, the Waterbury goal tender, is
well named; He uses a pair of 30
I cent wooden roll skates, so that when
I a Waterbury player has to leave the
I floor on account of a broken skate, he
can knock the roll off his v ates, thus
i compelling the game' to stop until he
: is ready to go on, which is usually as
j soon as the other fellow is fixed up.
I He did this trick Saturday night, when
I Jean broke his skates and it probably
! saved the game for Waterbury, for
I with Jean out of that team a big hole
j is made. Captain Pierce, of the Meri
i dens, protested the game because Ref
eree Leahy stopped for the "broken
skate. The rule is that unless it is
before' game agreed to stop in case
of accidet the gajiie must go on.. As
I'eferee : Leahy ' was late in arriving,
not getting on the floor until the seconel
period, no such agreement was made
and Pierce lias gooel ground for his
protest. It is only for use in just such
ganie-s as Saturday night's game that
Fox bothers with any kind of skates;
that is the only use he has for them.
He never stands on them, as do other
goal tenders. He stands flat on his
feet. Then, too, he has his standards
built out like the wash-board on a
dam, so that when he stanels on the
palms of his feet in front of the cage
he covers the entire openiug. so that
it is only,, when he .is enticed, to one
side that there is any hope of getting
a ball past him. Meriden Journal.

Cartridges Fonud at Frankfort, Ky,
FRANKFORT, Ky., Dec. 26 One of
the clerks in the state auelitor's office in
searching the vault for old records yes
terday found a cartridge bor containing
eight metal patched smokeless powder
cartridges, 38.55 : caliber, corresponding
exactly to, the' bullet' found in 'the haek-bert-y
tree and Which' ' was believe! to
have passed through Senator Goebel's
bo4y- The significance of the discovery
lies in the fact that Henry Youtsey, con
victed of participation in the Goebel as
sassination in October, was a clerk in the
auditor's office at the time of the assas
sination and had access to the faults
where the cartridges were found and
that George Barnes, another clerk in the

The best card arranged by any ath
letic club in Connecticut for a long
time is that announced by the Crescent
A. C. for its boxing exhibition to be
given at the Coliseum iu Hartford,
New Year's day, at 3 p. m. For the
star contest Arthur Jones of AA'ashing
ton, D. C, and Jack Hamilton of Troy,
N. Y., have beeu matched for twenty
rounds at 126 pounds. These men are
top-notehers iu their class, Hamilton
having frequently met such men as
Jack O'Brien, with whom he has lost
once and drawn. Hamilton and Jones
Met at Troy some months ago and
after twenty furious rounds the referee
called it a draw. The middle bout is
in itself a star attraction, and it is for
the bantamweight championship of the
world. Griffith Jones of Philadelphia
and Kid Flanagan of Brooklyn will
meet at 110 pounds. Young Jones has
a record of twenty-two straight wins
in Philadelphia and has only beeu de
feated twice one of these defeats was
by Flanagan on a eleeision. The first
preliminary will be between Alike
Maher of Hartford and Kid Matthew
son of Roekville. These men probably
are the cleverest pugilists' in the state,
all things considered. It will be re
membered that the two men met in
Hartford some months since anel after
a pretty exhibition the honors were
even. Charley White of New York
will referee.
DIXON WOULDN'T FIGHT.
Boston, Dec 20. George Dixon re
fused to meet Jimmy Davenport at the
Isoteric A. C- last night because Da
venport was at least fifteen pounds
overweight. They had agreed on 124
pounds. And .Daly was substituted,
and made Davenport look like a cheap
selling plater. At the end of 'fifteen
rounds the bout was called a draw, as
the boxers had made that agreement
before going into the ring.
OHIO'S BOXING LAW.
The distinctions made by Ohio law
between prize fighting and boxing are
decidedly interesting. Under the laws
of that state prize fighting is classed
as a felony and is expressly prohibited.
Boxing contests aud sparring matches,
when given before a club, are within
the pale of the law when sanctioned by
the consent of the mayor of the city
iu which the club is located. The legal
distinction between a prize fight anel a
sparring match is that a prize light is
a contest which is ttnderstooel to be
terminated by a knockout, while a
sparring 'match is a contest limited to
a elesignatetl number of rounds. The
courts in Ohio in the case of Seville vs
state passed the opinion that no expert
testimony as to whether a boxing con
test was a prize fight or simply an ex
hibition could be admitted, and that
the result of such a test is the only
test by which it can be decided wlteth
er a prize fight or a boxing match was
indulged in. The proposed contest be
tween Jeffries and Ruhlin is a boxing
match, limited to twenty rounds, not
a fight to a finish. ' This being the case
the governor says he cannot legally In
terfere. Governor Nash, moreover,
has established the precedent of leav
ing the preservation of the public peace
in the hands of the local authorities.
No governor of Ohio has ever called out
the state militia to suppress a riot or
conserve the public peace except upon
tlie request of the mayor or sheriff of
the disturbed district. As the mayor
of Cincinnati has already given bis
permission to the club to pull off the
contest he certainly, will not call upon
the governor to help him stop it. That
state of affairs is rather discouraging
to the fanatics, but their next point
of attack will be the courts. There
can be no doubt that the alleged re
formers will continue to nag the bout
to a finish, but it is to be hoped they
get a knockout and are counted out.
This will have a salutary effect on the
tribe elsewhere. Shoultl a heavyweight
championship bout be held iu Cincin
nati despite the shrieks of the reform
ers it would be a knockout from which
they might not recover. ' '
THE SCISSORS BLOW.
And still the talk of "new blows" in
pugilism will not cease. The latest is
a "scissors punch" to be used by Ruh
lin on Jeffries. ; McCoy's "corkscrew
punch" was so thoroughly exploited
that many persons really believed that
there was such a blow. Frequently
fighters in training say that they have
invented new blows, and they go into
details about them, too. But Fitz
simmons exploded the whole business
last summer when he said that invent
ing new blows was all bosh. "When
you are in a fight," said Fitz, "you
have got to punch a fellow good and
hard. If he hits you' a crack ' on the
jaw you have no time to think about
fancy movements or tricks, but .you
have got to sail right in and fight the
best you know bow. . If you see an
opening for a ' solid, smash, either In
the body or on the.bead, let your hands
go in for all you. are worth. That's
the way I' believe in "doing business
and I have found very effective."'".

'MANAGER DIXON IS. OUT.
Basket Ball Not a. Success New
' Yorkers Left In the Lurch. .
Yesterday, in all probability, saw
the finish of professional basket ball
in Waterbury for this season at least.
Manager Dixon's new venture was not
a bowling success even at the begin
ning .and matters have been growing
worse since. The people absolutely
refuse to take to the new game, two
game of polo a week were sufficient to
satiate their sporting tastes. In the
New ' Britain game both euels barely
met while in the Danburj game the
elebit column appears to have been the
larger. No salaries had been paid to
any of the players, money was owed to
Manager Parsons, who has charge of
the autlitorium, ushers were minus
their salaries and Billy Snow had not
been recompensed for fixing up the
auditorium for the game. It was
clear that a crisis was impending and
that something would burst if money
was not forthcoming. -Yesterday was
anxiously awaiteel by all. A strong at
traction had been booked, but it was
of no avail. Only a small crowd was
present. Everything sailed along
smooth until the last half of the pro
fessional game, Manager Dixon was
called from the floor to the ticket office.
There he was informed that Man
ager Parsons bad levied on the box
office to the extent of $25 for rent for
two nights of Jacques autlitorium.
Dixon could do nothing, but take what
remained. He then went back to the
floor and finished the game.
After the game he hurriedly dressed
and told the manager of the "All New
York" team he woulel meet him out
side at the box office. When the New
York manager had dressed and went
outisto the box office, there was no" Mr
Dixon in sight. He had skipped. There
was not sufficient money to pay the
expenses of the New York team,
amounting to something about $40, and
he tlid not wish to tell them so. So
he hieel himself away and left the
New Yorkers to take care Of them
selves. Luckily they had money with
them and they tooK the 6:0o train
back to New York, carrying with
them a poor opinion of Waterbury.
Mr Dixon's action in thus treating
the New Yorkers was conelemned on
all sides. Those who knew said that
everything woulel have been all right
if Dixon hael explained the financial
situation to the visitors. But in acting
the way he did. he made himself a
target for all sorts of knocks. But the
knockers ought to remember that Mr
Dixon deserves great credit for his
push and energy in venturing to make
a success of professional basket ball.
It is true it proved a failure and that
lie is so much poorer anel wiser now
than when he started, but it was not
his fault that the game was not a
success. As said before professional
basket ball is dead in Waterbury.
Present appearances would indicate
that basket ball isn't destined to be
extremely popular in Waterbury, for,
despite the excellent attractions, only
a meagre attendane-e was present at
the auditorium yesterday afternoon to
see the All New York team contend
with the local boys. Two te-ams were
never more evenly matched anel they
furnished a beautiful article of sport
and gave those present several chances
to enthuse. ' ' J
Fisher filled Waterbury's basket in
thirty seconds, anel a few minutes later
McPartland gladdeneel "the Waterbury
rooters by doing the same trick to the
New York basket. Then Dews follow
eel in two minutes. The- gamer waxed
warmer and warmer. The New Yorks
making some phenominal-stops but al
ways bussing by an ine-h. Fisher
finally caged another for New York.
Next Dixon, in thirty, seconds, on
pretty shots, enlarged, tifi. Waterbury
score. Two minutes " elapsed and.
Fisher scoreel again. R'yan then even
eel it tip, making four for New York.
Both teams went in to win anel the
game grew rough anel the shooting
wild. When Dews in 2:30 caged the
next anel broke the tie a mighty shout
went up. On slick individual work
Miles shot in two more. The New
Yorks begau to play the faster and
Fisher succeedeel in getting the fifth
in 1:45. The first . half eneled with
both teams playing desperately and
the score 6-5, in favor of Waterbury.
The second half commenced with
both teams playing fast and in two
minutes the wily Fisher hael populateel
the Waterbury basket, a he same fel
low put another in in 30 seconds as elid
MeMahon. Thirty seconds anel Ryan
made another. Reeves presently took
a hand anel made it one more for Wa
terbury. By pretty passes and accur
ate shots it looked as though New
York woulel bury AVaterbury. Their
team's work began to show anel very
easily took the ball elown the floor
unblocked. McPartland lessened the
agony by tying the score in six min
utes. And in ten seconds Miles made
it 10. Ryan then tied the score again.
Farley broke it in a minute and Miles
tied it on a .beautiful shot from the
center. Dixon piled on another in
fifteen seconels and Dixon called again
shortly. Fisher came in thirty seconels
and Ryan tied in thirteen seconels. But
Dews broke it in an instant with only
a minute to play and McPartland
came in fifteen seconds. .
Score, Waterbury 15, New Yorks 13.
Both teams played beautifully and
each individual deserves credit, one
no more than another. It was one of
the most sensational games ever play
ed in Waterbury.

Read what a Waterbury citizen says :
Mr Daniel Keenan of No 40 William street says: "I put in many
a hard day's work when a young man, but of late years I have not
been engaged at anything that should cause backache, yet I hael
attacks of It and accompanying it there was a urinary difficulty.
Very annoying and particularly inconvenient at night. I tried to
stop it by using simple remedies, but all my efforts were useless
until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. I saw some newspaper accounts
about them in which the symptoms were similar to mine and de
termining to try them I got a box at H. AV. Lake's drug store. This
one box cured my backache."

boys were athletes, every one, and
they easily and clearly out-classed
their opponents. It was a case ef
pretty passing anel shooting and nie-e
team work on the part of the High

didn't even have a smell of the High
school basket while the latter team
easily filled the AA'ateh shop six times.

TOBACCO GROWING.-
Successful Experiments With Suma
tra Leaf In Connecticut.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. The fol
lowing notice has been posted by the sec
retary of agriculture:
"Milton Whitney, chief of division of
soils, reports a successful termination ol
experiments conducted in co-operation
with the Connecticut experiment station
ia the production of Sumatra tobacco
near Hartford. One-thirel of an acre was
planted under a cheesecloth shade nine
feet high and cultivated and fermented
under the direction of M. L. Floyd, to
bacco expert of the department. The
yield of cured tobacco was 700 pounds,
making an estimated yield for one acre ol
2,100 pounds. This lost about 10 pet
cent in the fermentation. The crop has
just been sold by L. B. Haas & Co. it
Hartford to Mitchelson & Hibbard ol
Kansas City for 473.70, making an esti
mated value for one acre of $1,421. The
cost of production, including the whole
cost, of the shade, the frame for whicli
will last five years, will not exceed $500
per acre, leaving a net profit of over $900
per acre. This was an average price of
71 cents per pound. The crop grown in
the same field without shade and fer
mented in the same way yielded about
the same quantity and brought 27 cents
per pound, or at the rate of $507.87 pci
acre. Deducting the cost" of cultivation,
fertilization and treating, this would
leave a profit of about $300 per acre.
"The ordinary crop of the Connecticut
valley brings the farmer about 20 cents
per pound, or $360 per acre, and, deduct
ing cost and expenses, leaves a profit of
about $200 per acre. The Sumatra to
bacco grown under shade has been sub
mitted, to New York and Philadelphia
business men and has been pronounced
entirely satisfactory and fully equal to
imported Sumatra. These facts, taken
in connection with the award at the Paris
exposition of two points for the Florida
grown Sumatra over that given for the
imported Sumatra, show that we can
grow Sumatra tobacco of the highest
quality in this country and save our farm
ers between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000
which is now sent abroad annually foi
the foreign grown leaf. This work is the
result of the soil survey made in the Con
necticut valley two years ago, and simi
lar results can be expected only from
very similar areas where the soils and
climatic conditions are similar to those in
the Connecticut valley and in Florida."

The Kind You Haw Always Bought
TOD SLOANE RIDES.
He Was Given a Right Royal Recep
tion in the AA'est.
San Francisco, Dec 20. Right roy
ally eliel California's racegoers greet
Toil Sloane as he paraded by the stand
on AA'alter Jennings's A'esuvian in the
Christmas handicap, run at Tan fa ran
yesterday. Not only we-re they hearty
in their applause, but they presented a
handsome floral piee'e to him. This
was Sloane's first appearance in the
saddle in California in two years and
his first mount since the Jockey club
of England announced that it practi
cally had ruled him oft' by refusing to
issue a license to him for next year.
AA'hether the San Francisco Jockey
club acteel wisely or unwisely iii
granting a license to Slotine. the ae
tion of its patrons yesterday left ne
room for doubt as to the popularity
of its move. AA'ith the exception of a
few soreheads, California racing men
are glael that' Sloane has been permit
ted to ride, and they are glael because
they believe the boy has been treated
unfairly by tlie English Jockey .dub.
Riding in the same race with Sloane
was another American jockey fresh
from England, Clement .tenkins.
There was some applause for Jenkins,
but it eliel not partake of the popular
demonstration with which Sloane was
greeted. There were two reasons for
this. -The first is that as a jockey he
does not approach Sloane, and the pr
ond is that unlike Sloane he elid not
have a. chance to pose as a victim of
English prtjueliee, which, in the opin
ion of many horsemen, Sloane is.
Yet the honors of the handicap,
which was the chief event of the elay's
sport, went to Jenkins, who rode Eeldie
Jones and piloteel him to victory. Eel
elie Jones, who was coupled with Mort
gage in the betting, was quoteel at 7
to 1. The best Sloane could elo with
A'esuvian was to finish seconel. just
beating Marty Bergen on the 15 to 1
shot, The Lady, who was a neck be
fore Advance Guarel. A'esuvian, with
his stable companion Anelrissa, who
made the pace in the early part of the
race, was favorite in the betting.
There was much speculation among
tlie horsemen as to Sloane's future. In
rieling for Jennings the jockey is prac
tically riding for .T. B. Haggin, the
wealthiest breeder in the country. The
horses traineel by Jennincs came from
Mr Haggins's Rancho del Taso, and
it is understood that the breeder re
tains an interest in their winnings.
It is not supposeel that this fact
will have any bearing on the jockey's
case when it comes before the Jockey
club of New York, if it ever comes be
fore that body, hut it may carry a
favorable influence for him iu t
west.
The weather was fine yesterday, the
track in good condition anel the attend
ance large. Texarkana fell when lead
ing in the steeplechase. The ride of
Murphy on Lord Chesterfield will be
investigated.
