WORLD OF SPORTS.
The Acmts Win the First of the Series

The Acmes Win the First of the Series
 From Meriden
 The first of a series of seven games between the Acmes and Meridens was won yesterday by the Acmes by a score of : to ,. The home teams success was due to superior battery work and bat ting. Murphy, the little shortstop of the Yale team, made his initial bow to Waterbury people, and became at once a big favorite. The local team put up good game, with the exception of Frank Donahue. The Meridens again devel- oped theIr kicking propensities, and it is safe to predict that before the series is completed it will require & Lynch or Gatfney to satisfy them. Thiesen ought to wear a gag. or at least ought to argue like a gentleman, and not like a rowdy. Meriden sports who lost thelr money called on the umpire after the game and said it was a good, square deal; that they asked for no better. Only one close decision was made, and no two people can tell the same story of that slide for home. It is time that some Waterbury people would cease their propensity for kicking and try to imagine themselves in the umpire's position. It is a fact that Meriden will kick anyway and they should not be supported by the better class of people who attend the local games. One thIng is certain, Ed. l.. Maloney will act no more as umpire. It is impossible to satisfy both managers teams and people, especially when the people have dropped their roll. The score:

Hot Discussion in the Convention of
 Foresters To day.
 The national convention of Foresters of America, at New Haven, is still in session, with no prospect of an early adjournment. There was an exciting debate to-day on home rule, as to whether the supreme court should inter- fere in local matters. It was finally de- cided by a two-thirds vote that hereafter all matters of local nature should be in the jurisdiction of the state courts It is probable that Cleveland will be the headquarters of the supreme court.
 The greater portion of last night was devoted by the supreme session of the Companions of the Forest, in ses- sion at New Haven, to elect ing the following supreme officers: Chief Companion, c. H. Brenner of San Francisco: Sub-Chief Companion, Sarah Storey of Philadelphia; Secretary, E. w Wrench of Detroit.

Stray Leaves From a Reporters Note
 Rook.


 A LEAF in this column last Saturday spoke of the rumor which was and is now being circulated, that a number of we'll known politicians had contributed pap to one of the democratic ward clubs, expecting, of course, ''quId pro quo" on election day. Selectman Pinney rises to remark that, so far as he is con- cerned, the charge is wholly without foundation, and furthermore, that any one who will show that he has contri- buted to the support of any democratic organization may draw on him for $50. And there you are. The story was given to the writer by man who is not given to telling extraordinary tales and who claims to have had direct in formation from the seat of war. For private reasons he does not desire his name to be given publicity in this con nection. So the charge remains un- proven. All of which augurs well for the success of the democratic ticket at the coming election, for if the republi- cans will only keep their money in theii stockings the candidates of the people will win in a canter. Brother Wells of the Republican should read the party 6 section of his corrupt practices act which didn't pass.

NEW BRITAIN has just completed its new water works, at a cost of over $200, ,000, and a special investigating committee which has been looking over the job reports that there has been gross negligence; lack of business methods and proper management; con- tracts unratified; time books involving a large sum of money missing; excessive charges for engineering and surveying; outsiders given the preference; the poorly paid workmen made to pay for riding to and from the works, while the high priced employees rode free; pleasure trips at the expense of the taxpayers" " This is a roundup of the facts made public and it is enough to prove that somebody has been juggling with the peoples money who ought to be in jail.
