The Cohan & Harris Minstrels Proved a Snappy Show With Strong Features. Lew Dockstader is still the premier minstrel man although Cohan and Harris will malie the genial Lew put forth his very best efforts in the burnt cork line of amusement if he does not wish to be superseded by the latest aspirants for the plam. The show which the above named managers presented at Smith's theatre last evening in which "Honey Boy" Evans was starred, although it con- tained at least three of the leading vaudeville acts of the past few sea- sons, was one which seemed to be gen- erally pleasing. George Evans, however, was ovei shadowed in the performance by Julian Eltinze. billed as the world's best fe- male impersonator, and we suess he was for his performance was 'a most remarkable one. His make-u- p was absolutely perfect it seemed and with a voice of singular softness and the ability to use it his work was a treat. George Cohan who it seems has a large proportion of the theatre-goin- g public at his feet at the present time has injected some of his own ideas in- to the performance a.nd the result was seen in the rapidity of movement of the different acts. A very well exe- cuted drill, at the end of which Mr. Cohan's national colors, red. white and blue, and green, are triumphantly waved, seemed. to strike the fancy of the audience. Eddie Leonard and his pickaninnies, who were a big hit in vaudeville last season, made a favor- able impression. Mr. Leonard has a way all his own of "crooning" darkey melodies which will continue to earn a living for him for a long time to come. In the first part the singing, of Mor-rel- l. the California tenor, was sensa- tional and the yodling of Matt Keefe, the finest heard in a long time. Mr. Keefe's voice seems to be naturally suited to that particular style so well portrayed by Billy Scanlon and "Fritz" Emmett of a former generation. Mr. Morse as interlocutor had little to do while John Kins and Alf Gibson filled in as end men. The stage setting were especially fine, but Mr. Cohan's music was not as catchy as in his other musical pro- ductions. The audience was f good size and enthusiastic, the "pit" especially, for isn't a minstrel show the kind that appeals most to that very critical por- tion of the house? O Bears the The Kind Yea Have Always Bought Signature of ETHEL BARRYMORE TO WED YOUNG COLT ANNOUNCEMENT OF ENGAGE- MENT SENT OUT FROM BOS- TON WHERE SHE' IS PLAYING. (Special from United Press.) New York. March 10. Colonel Samuel Pomeroy Colt, head of the United States Rubber Company, president of the Industrial Trust Company of Provi- dence, refused to-d- ay to see -- dew-ers who called on him at the Holland House to secure his opinion of the en- gagement of his son. Russell Griswold Colt to Miss Ethel Barrymore. the ac- tress. He sent back word that at present he had nothing to say al- though he miirht have a statement later. Friends of his declare, how- ever, that he is delighted and that he has long been one of the dainty most enthusiastic admirers. Mies Barrvmore is now playing at the Hollis Theatre. Boston, and the story of the engagement sent out ffrom there states that the wedding wall take place in that city next Sunday but the time and place, or who will officiate, is kept a profound secret by the bride-to-b- e. The Colt family is one of the richest in New England and Russell Colt is worth a large fortune in his own right, which he inherited frontalis grand- parents. Miss Barrymore Bis been re- ported as engaged to several persons in the past, the latest having been Captain Harry Graham, an officer in the Scots Guard and one time secre- tary to Lord Roseberry. That engage- ment however, was broken by Miss Barrymore in July. 1905. It is under- stood" that Miss Barrymore will con- tinue on the stage after the wedding.

While many believe that Gans stiil has enough power behind his blows to put away any fighter, others believe that the negro's health, which, it is j said, has not been of the bpst lately, and the terrible beatings handed him by Nflson. have taken away some of; T . , . : over o oiii USUHU This is the second appearance of the Englishman in America, his first en- trance being a few years ago when he went to the Coast and lost to Jimmy Britt.

The Blue Ribbons, champions of this city, will play the Nutmegs of South Norwalg ht at 9:30 o'clock. The Nutmegs are cleaning up every- thing in sight and they think they can walk away with the Blue Ribbons. So it's up to Burdick to keep his feet close to the floor. There will be a one mile exhibition race between "Dick" Barrett and Harry Burke the "Boy Wonder on Rolllers." These boys have met before and have each won a race and are evenly matched.

March 1C "Jack" Johnson, the heavyweight champion pugilist, with his white wife, a former Philadelphia woman, who threw in her lot with him after his fight at Sydney, and Sam Fitzpatrick. who is no longer manager of the bijr black champion, having severed relations with him. ar- rived yesterday morning by the Cana- dian Pacific-Australia- n steamer Ma-ku- ra from Sydney. Johnson unreservedly declared his willingness to meet Jeffries or any other man. In an interview just be- fore leaving for Vancouver Johnson said: "I am willing to meet Jeffries. I am willing to meet any man in the world, and I do not think any one can get a decision over me, much less put me out. It tires me to hear this talk about Jeffries claiming the champ'on-ship- . Why. when a Mayor leaves office he's an isn't he? "When a champion leaves the ring he's an If Jeffries wants to try and get the championship back I'm willing to take him on. "In all the notices I have seen about a fiffht between us it is what Jeffries will take. What is the matter w'th what Johnson will take? I'm the champion, ain't I? I want a winner and loser en 1. I don't care what it is CO and 40 or 75 and 25. but there's got to be a winner and loser's end. That's how I met Burns." BAXTER BATS BALL BEAUTIFULLY That long unsettled dispute between Joe Sullivan, the South End "Sod-buste- r" and Billy Baxter, the Chicago Phenom as to who was who, was finally settled at Seaside Park. Mon- day night. Sullivan bet Baxter that he could strike him out three out of six times at bat. The office force of E. C. & B. No. 1 plant have long been tired of the constant talk between the two participants and rather than let the two-hav- e any more to say took it upon themselves to tret the match to- gether. - Even though there was snow on the ground and the tree tops. Sulli- van toed the pitcher's plate and Bax- ter with a trusty willow marched ma- jestically to the batter's box. In order to win Baxter would have to hit the ball safe four times. Baxter's first at- tempt was successful, the second and the third took the same route and the fourth not being willing to be outdone by its predecessors decided to go safe. Sullivan took his defeat gracefully, but his old smile is now lacking. The large crowd of spectators on hand congratu- lated Baxter and then beat it home to the eats. POINTS OP INTEREST.

(Special from United Press.) New York. March 10. There was no shipping reporting on time in New York offices to-d- as the result of a gray, clammy fog, so thick that it even got into people's pockets. The cnlv traffic line that wasn't seriously af- fected by the fog was the subway. On the surface and elevated and all the water routes, schedules were "badly twisted. Boat1; on the Bay and rivers poked cautiously along, their bolls and whist- - les sounding a continuous warning. Several collisions were narrowly avert- ed and passonjrers were in fear until they were safely across the gang- plank. The Staten Island ferry, which is the longest haul, abandoned its schedule altogether and rather than take chances, many of the Island remained. at home, all morning waiting for the fog to lift. JERSEY CITY WILL BUY WATER WORKS End of Long Straggle With Private Com- pany Now in Sight-Pr- ice $7,505,080. Jersey City, March 10. This city took yesterday the long delayed steps necessary to secure possession and con- trol of the waterworks and water sup- ply which i't agreed, under a contract made with Patrick H. Flynn on Feb- ruary 8, 1S99, to purchase" for the sum of $7,595,000. The contract was as- signed by Flynn to the Jersey City Water Supply Company. The Street a.nd Water Board passed a resolution setting forth that as the Court of Chancery had made a decree on June 4, 1908, adjudging that the con- tract ought to be specifically perform- ed anid carried into execution and the water works and water supply convey- ed to 'the city at the price named in the contract, less deductions' because of delay, imperfect performance, etc., the Board off Finance be requested to issue bonds to cover the cost of the purchase. The Board of Finance and the Street and Water Board then adopted concur- rent resolution's instructing counsel for Jersey City to apply to the eourt for leave to pay $7,595,000 into court, so the water works may be conveyed to the city. The resolutions were promptly signed by Mayor H. Qtto Wittpenn. SIMPLE REMEDY FOR LA GRIPPE. La ..grippe coughs are dangerous as they frequently develop into pneu- monia.

Clergyman Calls All Liquor Men Crim- inals Dealer Finds Some Crim- inals Among Clergy. Hartford. March 10. Bitter words by both prohibitionists and liquor dealers marked the hearings yesterday after- noon before the excise committee. A bill introduced by the retail liquor dealers' association giving the right to saloon keepers to open their places of business on election day after the polls were closed was first heard. N. W. Kendall of New Haven said the law used to be. as he wanted it. but it was changed by a ruse. The bill which changed it was a spite bill introduced into the House when Mor- gan G. Bulkeley was governor, and in- stead of being referred to the excise committee was referred to the judi- ciary committee and. before the liquor men knew anything about it, railroad- ed through both houses. In response to a "protest the governor refused to sign the bill and it became a law with- out his signature. This law is more generally violated than any law on the statute books, he said. Men feel that it is unjust. H. H. Spooner of Kensington, speak- ing in opposition, said: "It has been my privilege four times to oppose this bill. There is no injustice. Since the law was passed they have known when they took out their licenses that they were not permitted to sell on that day. As to the fact that it is violated more than any other law, who violates it? No one can, but the liquor dealers." Severin Johnson of New Britain ap- peared in behalf of a bill to close all saloons on election day and legal hol- idays. He said that it was a disgrace to the country to allow saloons to be open on Christmas Day and Good Fri- day and that the number of arrests on legal .holidays was enormous. Rev. S. G. Ohmfin of New Britain, who stumped the state for O'Brien, for governor last fall, attacked the liquor dealers, saying that their arguments were but a confession of their sins and that the greater number of liquor dealers were criminals. Mr. Guethlein said: ' Our friend, the minister, has put. all liquor dealers down as criminals. I don't think it right because there are some crim- inals among the clergy." KING EDWARD AT BIARRITZ. (Special from Unied Press.) London, March 10. To-da- advices from Biarrit where King Edward is taking the rest cure, wholly discredit the alarming reports current regard- ing the King's health. The King yes- terday, after a walk, motored to the Golf links, where he enjoyed himself hugely in spite of the heavy rain. He has planned to go to Piiu Thursday or Friday to see the Wright aeroplane in action. HUMAN FINGER AS EXHIBIT. Barkhamstead. March 10. With a human finger in evidence as an exhibit. Carmelia Nrei. an Italian, was ar- raigned here yesterday on a charge of assault. It is alleed that he assault- ed Domtnick Costello. another Italian, with a knife and in the fight cut one of Dominick's fingers off. The de- tached finger was held as evidence against Carmelia together with the knife which did the cutting and Car- melia rs bound over to the superior court. If He's Australian Billy M'Carthy His Memory of Own Fights is Defective. Much has been said of a noted fight- er, who at present is wintering, sum- mering, training and what not at Ja?ques' saloon. Water street. The noted fighter goes under the nom do plume of Australian Billy McCarthy and claims that he could trim any of the youngsters of the present day. in- cluding Sailor Burke. At present he i down and out. but does not drink, believing in the John L. Sullivan theory of the present day, that drink is a bad thins for the constitution. According to the real McCarthy's former trainer, now a resident of Bridgeport, the personage now sojourn- ing at Jacque's emphorium is a raas-querad- while the original Australian Billv McCarthy is a business man, in Galveston. Texas. This masquerader claims that the bijrgest strike he ever made was in J93. sixteen years ago. when he cleaned up $47,000 on a fight pulled off in Australia. At the time of this alleged money making. Mc- Carthy was in the states, he having been in this country since 1890. after gaining the middleweight champion- ship of Australia. The impostor claimed he fought Fitz-simme- in Australia, when as a mat- ter of fact the mill was pulled off May 29, 18P0. in San Francisco, F.tz getting the decision in the ninth round, when the police stopped the bout. Since that time the real McCarthy has fought Jack Dempsey in San Francisco, when he was knocked out. after 28 rounds; Alec Greggins in the same place in 1892; George LaBlanch in New Orleans in 1893. all of which occurred when the impostor claimed he was making his pile in Australia. It would be a grand idea for him to get himself right with McCarthy's real fihts before he begins making blund- ers at which he is so easily captured. As a matter of coincidence McCarthy came to this city in 1894 to arrange a match with Ike Williams, who at that time was one of the rfladiators of the padded ring. No boxing was allowed at that time, the match being called off. McCarthy has not been here since. His last fight was with Jack Dempsey in 1894 in New Orleans which was call- ed a draw after 20 rounds. INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE IS PROSPERING Team from Warner Brothers Desires to Come into Organization. The directors of the Industrial Ba?p-ba- ll league met, last night, with Presi- dent Buckingham, getting rid of a great deal of work in a very short time. The schedule committee report- ed a complete schedule to cover 21 gaijpes, which will include all Satur- days and holidays, from May 15 to Sept. 11. inclusive. The schedule will be given out to the manager of each team for a comolete review before adoption. The application of the War- ner Bros, baseball team was read and placed on file. The team wishes to en- ter the league in place of the Bullard team, which withdrew at the meeting last r.ieht. A committee of two. in- cluding the managers of the TJ. M. C. and Union Typewriter Co. teams were appointed to look into the matter of the eighth team to complete the league. In place of Manager Pitt of the Bul- lard team, on the committee on revis- ion of constitution. Manager Colljung, of the E. C. & B. No. 2 'team, was ap- pointed. A committee of three were appointed to arrange with Manager O'Rourke of the Bridgeport team for the use of Newfleld park for Saturdays. The subject of permanent seats at the grounds was also taken up. Arrange- ments to get prices on the construc- tion work were made. Representatives from the firm of S. Loeb & Sons. New Haven, baseball outfitters, were pres- ent with samples of suits, sho&s and balls. As near;- - all the teams in the league will be refitted this season a big order fcoll be given to some com- pany. The representatives of the New Haven company, informed the man- agers that if they procured an order which will amount toajover S400 they will present a silver cifP'to the winner in the series, and a pennant to the team coming in second. CASTOR I A For Inianta and Children. The Kind Yen Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of ED. CASEY "GOES" IN PHILADELPHIA The crowds of sporting peopI in Philadelphia seem to be over enthusi- astic when Ed. Casey, the Bridgeport boxer appears among them. Monday night Casey refereed a match in the old town and received a reception that would make President Taft blush. The following challenge in one of the Phila- delphia papers will show where Casey stands in the boxing lines: "It makes no difference to me whom I box, I am in business to try to make myself a winner, and if the National Club wish- es to match me with Jack Reed of Toledo or Jim Smith of Brooklyn, both of whom have challenged me, I am ready and in shape to accept either man. It is my desire to keep on going up the ladder and I shall always "e- ndeavor to do my best. Ed. Casey." With such a challenge, with an honest desire behind it. it is small wonder that the sporting folks of Philadelphia have taken Casey to their hearts. HEAVY STORM SWEEPS GEORGIA AND CAROLINAS Richmond.

AVA' I' "We told you so." We knew from the first that "Red" would make grood. The following is just a sample o the bouquets handed out to "Red" Waller. (From the New York American.) Mr. "Red" Waller, of Bridgeport. has "drawn" with greater skill than any of his fellows so far and has gained the reputation of having a long, wise head nder nis luminous thatch. Me-Gra- w thinks highly of "Red" as a pitcher, to. Mack said to me this morning. "That fellow Waller pitched a great game in Waco Sunday. I'll bet he struck out a dozen men in five in- nings. He has got a good head, he is a fox. and he knows what to do with the ball. He may make a great pitcher for me. You can't tell." Waller told me his arm was in good shape and he cut loose for the first time. Cleveland can boast of the oldest battery in existence. The members of this battery, who for years have defied the Osier theory, are Pitcher Cy Young and Catcher Jim McGuire.

"Red" Waller distinguished himself yesterday by making a three bagger in the game between the Colts and the Regulars.

The Hartford Courant com- ments that there, is a pitcher in New Haven masquerading under the name of Doeppensmith who is looking for a job in the Nutmeg league. The young fellow has been sick and perhaps for this reason Manager Zeller has over-lock- ed him. "I will plav independent baseball before I will go to Waterbury or any other place which does not suit me. I have a good offer now and if the Rochester eport is true will accept it," says Pitcher Bannister, who was recently turned over to Waterbury by Rochester of the Eastern league. Per- haps Mr. Bannister will change his mind when he realizes that those who have tried that same came have been many seasons trying to induce the big moguls to allow them to get inside the breastworks. NOTES ABOUT THE FIGHTERS Boston. Mass., March 10. By virtue of the same old Quick punch. Ketchel hung on Papke, Sandy Ferguson, for years discredited as a fishter, is to- day in the limelight, and Kubiack. the Michigan giant, is eclipsed. Ferguson stopped the Western man in the fourth round of what was sched- uled to have been a 12 round contest at the Armory A. A. Three left jabs to the face, followed by a whipping right to the jaw. settled Kubiack. The final result hinged upon a punch sent in by Ferguson immediately after the first bell. As the men stepped to the cen- tre. Kubiack advanced to shake hands. Quick as a flash Ferguson sent over a terrific right hand drive that landed flush on the jaw and dropped Kubiack. He got up shaky. From then until - the end Ferguson gave a wonderful exhibition of jab- bing, gradually wearing down Kulfack and he was powerless to prevent the series of punches that ended in his de- feat. Boston, March 10. Amateur punch- ers of all weights and sizes will be given the chance to show their mettle here on March 23. Solid gold cham- pionship medals will be awarded the victors in each class.

NUTMEG LEAGUE STANDING.

The Cohan & Harris Minstrels Proved aSnappy Show With

Strong Features.

Lew Dockstader is still the premierminstrel man although Cohan andHarris will malie the genial Lew putforth his very best efforts in the burntcork line of amusement if he does notwish to be superseded by the latestaspirants for the plam.

The show which the above namedmanagers presented at Smith's theatrelast evening in which "Honey Boy"Evans was starred, although it con-tained at least three of the leadingvaudeville acts of the past few sea-sons, was one which seemed to be gen-erally pleasing.

George Evans, however, was oveishadowed in the performance by JulianEltinze. billed as the world's best fe-

male impersonator, and we suess hewas for his performance was 'a mostremarkable one. His make-u- p wasabsolutely perfect it seemed and witha voice of singular softness and theability to use it his work was a treat.

George Cohan who it seems has alarge proportion of the theatre-goin- g

public at his feet at the present timehas injected some of his own ideas in-to the performance a.nd the result wasseen in the rapidity of movement ofthe different acts. A very well exe-cuted drill, at the end of which Mr.Cohan's national colors, red. white andblue, and green, are triumphantlywaved, seemed. to strike the fancy ofthe audience. Eddie Leonard and hispickaninnies, who were a big hit invaudeville last season, made a favor-able impression. Mr. Leonard has away all his own of "crooning" darkeymelodies which will continue to earna living for him for a long time tocome.

In the first part the singing, of Mor-rel- l.

the California tenor, was sensa-tional and the yodling of Matt Keefe,the finest heard in a long time. Mr.Keefe's voice seems to be naturallysuited to that particular style so wellportrayed by Billy Scanlon and "Fritz"Emmett of a former generation. Mr.Morse as interlocutor had little to dowhile John Kins and Alf Gibson filledin as end men.

The stage setting were especiallyfine, but Mr. Cohan's music was notas catchy as in his other musical pro-ductions.

The audience was f good size andenthusiastic, the "pit" especially, forisn't a minstrel show the kind thatappeals most to that very critical por-tion of the house?

jestically to the batter's box. In orderto win Baxter would have to hit theball safe four times. Baxter's first at-tempt was successful, the second andthe third took the same route and thefourth not being willing to be outdoneby its predecessors decided to go safe.Sullivan took his defeat gracefully, buthis old smile is now lacking. The largecrowd of spectators on hand congratu-lated Baxter and then beat it home tothe eats.

EXCISE BILLS.

Clergyman Calls All Liquor Men Crim-inals Dealer Finds Some Crim-

inals Among Clergy.Hartford. March 10. Bitter words by

both prohibitionists and liquor dealersmarked the hearings yesterday after-noon before the excise committee. Abill introduced by the retail liquordealers' association giving the right tosaloon keepers to open their places ofbusiness on election day after the pollswere closed was first heard.

N. W. Kendall of New Haven saidthe law used to be. as he wanted it.but it was changed by a ruse. Thebill which changed it was a spite billintroduced into the House when Mor-gan G. Bulkeley was governor, and in-

stead of being referred to the excisecommittee was referred to the judi-ciary committee and. before the liquormen knew anything about it, railroad-ed through both houses. In responseto a "protest the governor refused tosign the bill and it became a law with-out his signature. This law is moregenerally violated than any law onthe statute books, he said. Men feelthat it is unjust.

H. H. Spooner of Kensington, speak-ing in opposition, said: "It has beenmy privilege four times to oppose thisbill. There is no injustice. Since thelaw was passed they have known whenthey took out their licenses that theywere not permitted to sell on that day.As to the fact that it is violated morethan any other law, who violates it?No one can, but the liquor dealers."

Severin Johnson of New Britain ap-

peared in behalf of a bill to close allsaloons on election day and legal hol-

idays. He said that it was a disgraceto the country to allow saloons to beopen on Christmas Day and Good Fri-day and that the number of arrests onlegal .holidays was enormous.

Rev. S. G. Ohmfin of New Britain,who stumped the state for O'Brien, forgovernor last fall, attacked the liquordealers, saying that their argumentswere but a confession of their sins andthat the greater number of liquordealers were criminals.

Mr. Guethlein said: ' Our friend, theminister, has put. all liquor dealersdown as criminals. I don't think itright because there are some crim-inals among the clergy."

KING EDWARD AT BIARRITZ.(Special from Unied Press.)

London, March 10. To-da- advicesfrom Biarrit where King Edward istaking the rest cure, wholly discreditthe alarming reports current regard-ing the King's health.

HUMAN FINGER AS EXHIBIT.Barkhamstead. March 10. With a

human finger in evidence as an exhibit.Carmelia Nrei. an Italian, was ar-raigned here yesterday on a charge ofassault. It is alleed that he assault-ed Domtnick Costello. another Italian,with a knife and in the fight cut oneof Dominick's fingers off. The de-tached finger was held as evidenceagainst Carmelia together with theknife which did the cutting and Car-melia rs bound over to the superiorcourt.

If He's Australian Billy M'Carthy His

Memory of Own Fights is Defective.

Much has been said of a noted fight-er, who at present is wintering, sum-mering, training and what not atJa?ques' saloon. Water street. Thenoted fighter goes under the nom doplume of Australian Billy McCarthyand claims that he could trim any ofthe youngsters of the present day. in-

cluding Sailor Burke. At present hei down and out. but does not drink,believing in the John L. Sullivantheory of the present day, that drinkis a bad thins for the constitution.

According to the real McCarthy'sformer trainer, now a resident ofBridgeport, the personage now sojourn-ing at Jacque's emphorium is a raas-querad-

while the original AustralianBillv McCarthy is a business man, inGalveston. Texas. This masqueraderclaims that the bijrgest strike he evermade was in J93. sixteen years ago.when he cleaned up $47,000 on a fightpulled off in Australia. At the timeof this alleged money making. Mc-Carthy was in the states, he havingbeen in this country since 1890. aftergaining the middleweight champion-ship of Australia.

The impostor claimed he fought Fitz-simme-

in Australia, when as a mat-ter of fact the mill was pulled off May29, 18P0. in San Francisco, F.tz gettingthe decision in the ninth round, whenthe police stopped the bout. Sincethat time the real McCarthy has foughtJack Dempsey in San Francisco, whenhe was knocked out. after 28 rounds;Alec Greggins in the same place in1892; George LaBlanch in New Orleansin 1893. all of which occurred when theimpostor claimed he was making hispile in Australia.

It would be a grand idea for him toget himself right with McCarthy's realfihts before he begins making blund-ers at which he is so easily captured.

As a matter of coincidence McCarthycame to this city in 1894 to arrange amatch with Ike Williams, who at thattime was one of the rfladiators of thepadded ring. No boxing was allowedat that time, the match being calledoff. McCarthy has not been here since.His last fight was with Jack Dempseyin 1894 in New Orleans which was call-ed a draw after 20 rounds.

ED. CASEY "GOES" IN PHILADELPHIA

The crowds of sporting peopI inPhiladelphia seem to be over enthusi-astic when Ed. Casey, the Bridgeportboxer appears among them. Mondaynight Casey refereed a match in theold town and received a reception thatwould make President Taft blush. Thefollowing challenge in one of the Phila-delphia papers will show where Caseystands in the boxing lines: "It makesno difference to me whom I box, I amin business to try to make myself awinner, and if the National Club wish-es to match me with Jack Reed ofToledo or Jim Smith of Brooklyn, bothof whom have challenged me, I amready and in shape to accept eitherman. It is my desire to keep on goingup the ladder and I shall always "e-ndeavor to do my best. Ed. Casey."With such a challenge, with an honestdesire behind it. it is small wonderthat the sporting folks of Philadelphiahave taken Casey to their hearts.

"We told you so." We knew fromthe first that "Red" would make grood.The following is just a sample o thebouquets handed out to "Red" Waller.(From the New York American.) Mr."Red" Waller, of Bridgeport. has"drawn" with greater skill than anyof his fellows so far and has gainedthe reputation of having a long, wisehead nder nis luminous thatch. Me-Gra- w

thinks highly of "Red" as apitcher, to. Mack said to me thismorning. "That fellow Waller pitcheda great game in Waco Sunday. I'll bethe struck out a dozen men in five in-nings. He has got a good head, he isa fox. and he knows what to do withthe ball. He may make a great pitcherfor me. You can't tell." Waller toldme his arm was in good shape and hecut loose for the first time.

Cleveland can boast of the oldestbattery in existence. The members ofthis battery, who for years have defiedthe Osier theory, are Pitcher Cy Youngand Catcher Jim McGuire. Cy will be42 years of age on March 19. whiie Mc-Guire has already celebrated his 46thbirthday, making their combined agesover 88 years.

"Red" Waller distinguished himselfyesterday by making a three baggerin the game between the Colts and theRegulars.

Hogan Yancey, once the pride of theHartford team, has been sold to theBinghampton club of the New YorkState Leasrue. He will grace one ofthe outfield positions.

The signed contract ol" JimmyO'Rourke, Jr.. was received in Colum-bus yesterday. This latest contractfills the club's roster, and will bringa valuable acquisition to the AmericanAssociation.

Bill Kanna says he will have a teamin New Britain that will make thefans about the circuit open their eyesHe has 22 players to report April 6.New Britain will discard the "bedticii" uniforms and use navy blue thecoming season.

Manager Zeller of the Springfieldhas signed a catcher named Dump-houss- e.

What will the line up looklike with Dumphousse. Watchfob andDcbcms. The Hartford Courant com-ments that there, is a pitcher in NewHaven masquerading under the nameof Doeppensmith who is looking for ajob in the Nutmeg league. The youngfellow has been sick and perhaps forthis reason Manager Zeller has over-lock- ed

him.

"I will plav independent baseballbefore I will go to Waterbury or anyother place which does not suit me.I have a good offer now and if theRochester eport is true will acceptit," says Pitcher Bannister, who wasrecently turned over to Waterbury byRochester of the Eastern league. Per-haps Mr. Bannister will change hismind when he realizes that those whohave tried that same came have beenmany seasons trying to induce the bigmoguls to allow them to get inside thebreastworks.

Three left jabs tothe face, followed by a whipping rightto the jaw. settled Kubiack. The finalresult hinged upon a punch sent in byFerguson immediately after the firstbell. As the men stepped to the cen-tre. Kubiack advanced to shake hands.Quick as a flash Ferguson sent over aterrific right hand drive that landedflush on the jaw and dropped Kubiack.He got up shaky.
