Waterbury Democrat., 1900-12-11

Something is to drop next week and it is said that the jar will make the league rise on to still tirmer fOunda tion.--Brockton Times. Wonder if the Lewiston chap is going to drop into town.
 It is said that Doe offered George Cunningham SLIGO for the remainder of the season to play with the Lewis tons and agreed to put the money up
 in advance. The financial ball must be rolling right with Fred this season. -Brockton Enterprise.
 It is New Haven's turn to doff hats for what none of the other teams could accomplish, the Waterburys did. It was the first defeat for New Haven on the home grounds and it comes pretty near making everything right for that bad defeat in our own rink last week.
 We have begun the week we'll and if we can keep up the good work, there is no doubt but that we will give New Haven race for the first place be- fore the week is out. We are only one game behind the leaders and another miss by those chaps will make things interesting.
 Tonight the WaterburyS will be here ill full strength. The visitors are hoping to break the New Ravens rec ord in the home rink. and as they have been doing a lot of unexpected things the past few weeks, there is likely to be considerable trouble before the game ends-New Haven Register. And the unexpected happened.
 Springfield comes here tomorrow night and it is good betting that Heffernan will not be absent from the game That game will be one of the hardest fought that has been seen here in several weeks. Springfield is after Waterbury red hot and her packers in the Springfield press believe that Waterbury is an easy mark for her. We'll we will be waiting for them. If Billy Long. manager of the Rock land polo team. hasn't been misquOted, Fred Doe is the whole thing in the Maine league Just think of Fred call ing a meeting of the managers and saving: See here my good friends. I am it up here. The percentage plan doesn't go. see. Everybody keeps their own receipts" That doesn't sound as though Fred was laying out money to keep the league intact.-Brockton Times.
 It was Thursday morning and l had just finished breakfast. says Lations in the Register. and taken a walk into the hotel office. when in rushed Whip pie, who grabbed me and made me go to his room. Rather puzzled at his ac- tions, I said: Whip, what is the mat ter?' II want you to tell me the truth. Does this head of mine look like a barrel? Does my mouth look like bunghole of a hogshead? Do my cheeks look like barrel slaves? Do l look as though I was going to swell up and bust, or do I look like push ball: : Tell me the truth old pal; I must know the worst.'' I hastened to assure him that as far as could see he was in normal condition. and the pictures he drew of barrels. bungholes and slaves, so far as I could see. was a nightmare Thanks, thanks, old pal, knew you | would tell me the truth" as he showed newspaper clipping from the Meri- den Journal before my eyes, which read: 'If Whipples head continues to grow much more some one will have | to engage cooper to build special bands around his head or it will grow as big as push ball" Well, well we'll! talk about the Waterbury papers saving I looked like q wild bull in q crockery store; that is not marker and he walked away mumbling some thing which sounded to me like. HOW I wish Eddie Moneys dream would come true.'
