the reasons for the proposed strike this

Italians In Trouble.

Italians were much in evidence IN
Magistrate Hollis court last night. John
Il. Dccillis, Il barber on Front street, had
two cases before the magistrate. which
took nearly two hours to settle. The
first case heard was against Mlchael
Friss and Sarugo Pcrilli charged by De-
ellis with assault and battery. Both tho
| defendants pleaded not guilty TO the
| charge. As most all of the witnesses
testimony had to be interpreted 1t took
some time to hear them.
DcclliS testified that on Sunday, July
with party of other Italians he went
ON Il picnic to the Cleaners farm near
Holly Oak. While there he claimed that
they were assaulted by Il gang of twenty
nine other Italians and recognized the
two defendants rs being among those
who urged the assault. He said the
party he was with was stoned by the de-
PENDANTS and their gang and two of the
men in his party We're injured. This
testimony was Corrohorated by several
other Italians who We're with Decillis.
The dcfcniants produced several wit
n"sses who claimed that the two men
were not with the gang that made the
assault. Mngistrat" Hollis thought

Waterbury Democrat., 1901-12-21

old, corrupt National Association Of Professional Baseball Players and tho organization of the present National league was born.
 After MT. Hulbert's death in 1881 MT. Spalding became president of the Chi- cago club, remaining at it's head until 1891, when he retired from active man. agement.
 MT. Spa1ding took the Chicago nd All American teams on that memorable trip around the world in 1888 and 1889. He organized and managed the tour and assumed all financial responsibility.
 Spalding was generally recognized as the guiding spirit of the National league through the great Brotherhood struggle of 1890, and, while the game was somewhat demoralized by the war and both sides sunk over $50000O and were financially exhausted, considera- ble credit was given to Spalding for tho clever manner in which the leagues campaign was handled. He showed great ability in winding up that disas- trous fight and harmonizing the many conflicting interests.
 Spalding has been entirely out of ac- tive baseball management for the past ten years, and, although he has been an honorary member of the National league during this time and was always welcome at the meetings, he refrained from participating in it's business or legislative matters.
 A. G. Spalding was the American commissioner of sports to the Paris exa position of 1900, and the extraordinary success of our athletes in sweeping ev- erything before them was in no small measure due to MT. Spalding's exer-
