WORCESTER BASE BALL
John T. Brush Places the City in
a Bio LEAGUE

The spectators have figured out that
Worcester will be in a bigger league
next season. John T. Brush, the Gin
cinnati magnate, is said to be behind
the deal which will place Worcester in
big league. He has slated these
cities for the National league: Boston,
Cincinnati. Brooklyn, New York, Phil
adelphia, Pittsburg, Chicago and st.
Louis. The western circuit would be
composed of clubs in these cities De-
troit, Milwaukee, st. Paul, Cleveland,
indianapolis, Kansas City, Buffalo. and
Toronto, or Louisville. The Eastern
league makeup, according to the
scheme attributed to Mr. Brush, would
be Providence, Worcester, Washington,
Baltimore, Springfield, Hartford, Mon
treal and Rochester.
All this is very elaborate as a sur
mise. but in an Associated Press dis
patch in The Spy recently, President
Soden of Boston, one of the National
league board of directors, made a
statement which knocks this theoriz-
ing into mere dream. President So
den said that the National league will
be composed of 10 clubs next season,
and that only Cleveland and Louisville
will be dropped. In 1901, the two clubs
which show the least value as drawing
cards and money winners will be
dropped, thus bringing the big league
circuit down to eight clubs

Task After Recess

Washington, Dec. 19.-Discussion in
the Senate of the financial measure
drafted by the republican members of
the House, will commence on January
4, the day after the holiday recess. This
announcement was made in the Senate
today by Mr.. Aldrich Or. ID chairman
of the finance committee, in connection
with his report of the Senate substitute
for the financial bill passed yesterday
by the House
Mr.. Aldrich, who will have charge
of the measure, declared his purpose
to press the measure to passage as
soon as possible Mr.. Vest jMo.) de-

not represent the views of the minor
ity of the committee: Hon. w. V. AL
len, appointed by Gov. Poynter as SEN
ator from Nebraska, took the oath Of
office today.
The House was in session two hours
today. A large number of perfunctory
resolutions for printing for committees,
leave to sit during the sessions, etc,
necessary to get the committees under
way, were adopted and the several por-
tions OF the presidents message We're
distributed in accordance with the
usual custom. The resolution for the
distribution; cf the message was made
the occasion of a speech by Mr.. Grow,
the venerable eX-speaker of the House,
in defense of the administration S
course IN the Philippines, and by Mr.
Bell, a Colorado populist, criticising the
presidents utterance.

ALASKAN SITUATION
President Thinks Congress
Should Take Action

Washington, Dec. 19-At the cabinet
meeting today, there was discussion
of the situation in Alaska, which, ac-
cording to the view of the president
and members of the cabinet, requires
the immediate attention of congress.
1t is estimated that during the coming
summer there will be from 10000 to
10000 people in the vicinity of Cape
Nome without laws or means of en-
forcing such as the better class of citi-
zens might improvise.
The present financial situation in
New York was talked over, and it was
the general opinion that Secretary
Cages action last night would have a
good effect.

FOR STOCKINGS"
Big Trojan Lasts Only Seven
Rounds Before Referee Stop
ped the Fight

New York. Dec. 19.-Gus Rubin, the
Akron (O) "giant," who has aspira-
lions for heavyweight championship
honors, defeated Stockings" Conroy of
Troy, N. Y, in seven rounds before the
Broadway Athletic Club, tonight. Con-
roy put up a game battle and sent in
some fearful rights on Ruhlin's ribs
and over the Kidneys but he was I'M
able to Withstand the big Ohioan's
bruising swings and jabs, and was all
most out when Referee Charley White
stopped the bout when the seventh
round had almost been completed.
There was a large delegation of Tro-
jan sporting men around the ringside,
and they placed some fair-sized
amounts on their townsman, taking
odds of 100 to 40. They also bet even
money that Conroy would last ten
rounds or more, and lost tidy sum
on this score also.

that another track should not be al

Water in Lynde Brook Reservoir
Shows an Increase During
the Hardest Day of Week
OFFICIALS CONTINUE
TO PREPARE TO PUMP
One and Possibly Two More Du.
pick Pumps Will Be Bought
BY the City if Necessary

The outlook on the question of water
supply is brighter. Although there
have been no heavy rains, Lynde brook
reservoir showed a gain of two inches
yesterday morning, and the rainfall
during the day will help out still more.
This gain, in the face of the slight
draft to help out the low services, and
the fact that Monday is the largest
day in the week for consumption, is
gratifying to the officials, although
how the supply increased so rapidly.
During the past few days, Holden res
ervoir has gone down only about one
half as fast as for weeks previous, and
taken altogether, the outlook is much
more promising
The rain yesterday coupled with the
warm weather, has set the brooks flow
ing in good shape, and with a few
more daysiof steady rain, the present
EFFICIENCY MIGHT BE BRIDGED

but, as it is, preparations for pumping
will be kept up, in order that a supply
may be available in case of necessity.

supplemented by the purchases of an
other duplex pump, and the possibility
of still another which will do away
with all uncertainty relative to suffi-
Gent pumping facilities. The second
boiler will probably be placed today,
and work of finishing other details in
connection with the buildings and

possible.
The water from Tatnuck brook will
