Probable Makeup of the Team Several ont Of Town Games Ar ranged.
 There are seventeen candidates practic- 1 ing for position on the school eleven. The material on hand is very light and the | team will therefore not be up to the stan dard of the teams that have represented the school in the past. The candidates are practicing daily under the direction of l Captain w. s. G. Bassett, and considering the light weight of the men are doing un- commonly good work. Most of the candi- dates have had from one to two years' ex- perience in playing on elevens represent ing smaller schools, and on this account their work does not show that raggedness which is so common in new beginners. The makeup of the school team will prob ably be as follows: Center rush, Boyer; right and left ends, Arvine, Hatch; right and left guard, Bowden and Brooks; half backs, Gordon and Lineaweaver; full back, Richards; left tackle, Bassett (cap- tain); right tackle, Burkham, quarter back, Pratt.
 Challenges have been received from and matches arranged with the teams repre- senting the Betts high school of Stamford, 1AO 61ASOlAa Ak4Sh boA1OoA3 oAiSA eAlO xahooAAAss Athletic club. No game will probably be played with the Cheshire academy this season as it is understood that the acad emy will have no team in the field this fall.
 Ease Hall Notes.
 Horner will spend the winter here, hay ing decided not to accept the offer to go to the Pacific coast.
 <,f 4Lo ;oA; sfo of the past season will be found in the major leagues next year.
 The last game in this city this season will be the one between the Boston and New York Players' league teams, next Thursday.
 Colonel John I. Rogers of the Philadel- phia (N. L.) club is after two of the best players of the Atlantic association. .-Phila- delphia Inquirer.
 It would be gratifying surprise to all persons concerned, patrons of the game in particular, if the warning leagues could sensibly bridge their differences and bury the hatchet.
 Base ball is so dead to Newarkers that the directors of that club came to the con clusion not to play exhibition games, con- sequently the club has been disbanded. The loss to the owners of the club during the past season will foot up over 5000 and from present indications it is doubtful whether professional club will represent Newark next season.
