and the enthusiasm was at its utmost
height. This exuberance of delight
was occasioned by the defeat OF the
Waterburys by almost a shutout score
and the appearance and star work of
Malone. the new halfback. When the
understudy of Tom Cotter climbed
over the railing he was given a hand
some ovation, but when he got into the
game the audience went wild, with the
exception of the 30 rooters from Water
bury. Malone plays his position much
the same as Doherty. but is superior to
Hartford's favorite in quick passing
and general rapidity. He played a
great game Saturday. Only once did
he allow the Waterbury rushers TO
carry the ball past him. Parsons and
Jean played in championship form and
although Bottomy played a fair game
the score would have been higher on
the New Britain end had he been
quicker in catching Malone's fancy
passes. The boys already call Malone
willy Waggles.''

NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED.
Board Of Arbitration Does Nothing and New
Bedford Hands will Strike.

New Bedford. Mass. Jan. 1.-THE
state board of arbitration accomplished
nothing on its visit to New Bedford
today. and the situation is practically
unchanged from what ii was before the
visit of the board This afternoon the
board met with the manufacturers and
the representatives of the Spinners'
Union at the office Of one Of the mill
treasurers, and the situation was gen.
orally discussed. Several propositions
looking toward the settlement of the
strike We're made but no agreement
could be reached.
In addition to holding a secre; meet
ing the members of the conference
were pledged to secrecy. and at the
close OF the meeting they would give
out nothing The only thing they
would say was that the visit of the
board had not amounted to anything
and there was no difference in the out
look than before the conference.
According to notices which the board
Of trade had sent out. the representa-
tives of the operatives had expected to
meet the board of arbitration at h.
board Of trade rooms at 4 O'Clock.
however. and neither the manufactm-
ers. spinners nor the state board show
ed up, there was a general feeling Of
discomfort. IT was then learned that
the board of arbitration was in con
ference with the spinners and the man
ufacturerS alone to the exclusion of The
representatives of the other operatives
and the Inference was drawn that az
effort was being made with the manu-
!acturcrs to effect a compromise. The
labor men were outspOken to the effect
that they would not consider such az
arrangement binding upon them and
there was an expression of considcrd-
ble bitterness against the course which
the board of arbitration had taken.
The WeaVers and the Card Union, Al
their meeting. tonight, voted to join
the strike. and they will come out with
the spinners. next Monday,
