for the past few years. EXcludlhs the High school team. there were three teams of the first rank in this clty lasl year, namely: the St Thomas Cadets the Elm Athletic Club and the Merrl- mac Athletic club The three teams were composed of strong players ana there was intense rivalry between them. Each team made record last season of which they could have felt justly proud As to the High school eleven, their history is too well known. There is no necessity of rehearsing or how they won the championship of the Connecticut Interscholastic league and the Yale cup for the second time.
 The High school team has already re-organized for the coming season. Frank Hayes and Henry Cook have been selected respectively manager and captain. The call for candidates has already been issued and about 20 players have responded to the call They have been practicing for the past two weeks and the new. men have shown up well. There are likely lot of youngsters. The chances are that the Yale cup will be won for the third successive time this season by the local boys. The old players who are with the team this year are Captain Cook. c. Bauby, Schick, Culhane, Flanagan and Walker. G. Bauby and Mahaney and Fl. Sanderson, last years substi- tutes, are also candidates this year The other candidates are as follows: J. Daly, c. O'Connor, A. Cook, Butler, Butterly, Wheeler, Lewis, Johnson, Lynch, Mcdonald, Shannahan, Thomp- kins, Gardner and Tucker. A second team will be organized in short time. Athletics at the High school have all ways suffered from the lack of funds. No interest has been taken in them ex- cept by few. It is hoped that this fault will be remedied this year. It is purposed that every member of the senior cass will contribute at least 25 cents and that the other pupils of the school will contribute a nominal sum. Principal Wilby has started the ball a rolling by contributing $5. It is be- lieyed that the other instructors will contribute a similar sum. The foot ball management is working in har- mony with the faculty of the school The .candidates for the St Thomas Cadets football ftgaIn reported for { practice orI Monday of last week The chances for a strong team are rosy, nearly all of the old players have re- turned and the new candidates are a promising lot Edward Dunphy is manager and Henry Eaters is cap tain. They intend to have the cham- plonshlp of the city and perhaps of the state. The old players, who are trying for this years team are as follows: Eaters, Phil Riley, Riley, l.. Cronan. Stein, Dunphy, Bagley, Buckley and Heating. Among the new candidates are Hoffman and Hine of Winsted. Doran, Leary and Le Vasseur. The team will greatly miss the services or Jack" ,Bagley,nw was captain of the team last year, and Hy1and who was fine guard Both the new men are strong and powerful and will make good players. About seven games will be played by the Cadets. including those with the Yannigans of Bridge port and the Fifth Artillery of Fort Hamilton, N. Y. The first game will Ill all probability be played in Winsted on October ,. They intend to surpass their record of last season.
 1t has been said that things were not running smoothly with the Merrimac Athletic Club team and that Manager Hayes path was not all roses. That must have been the report of the un- initiated. Last season, was the first time that the eleyensof the Merrimac Athletic Club was ranked among the best in the city for ltlle clubtis q young nTU1niuatinn that 1t was represented with a first class football eleven. But it had such strong team that it was at once con sidered among he leading teams of the city. Manager Hayes states that he will have a stronger team this year and that he will give some of the wise acres surprise. The list of candi- dates is as follows: Beardsley, hcNellis, Slavin, DriscoII, Heating, Dodds, Cronan, NJ. Byrnes, E. How ard, Slavin, W. Mcdonald, John Hayes, Stevens, Gallagher and T. Kinney. Bauby, Stout and Manager Hayes may also play with the team. The men will report for practice within a week. Games will be arranged with out-of- town teams but games with local eleyens will be preferred.
 The Elm athletic club will also in all probability have team on the grid iron this season which will uphold the reputation made by last season s eleven. Among the old men who will be back in harness, will be Captain Hannah, Doolan, Guilfoile, Riordan, Buckley and Green. Among the new men will be Scully, who formerly play ed halfback for the Fort Schuyler eleven and Barker, who was quarter back on the Denver High school eleven. Manager Cosgrove is said to be confident that he will have a stronger team than during the past two seasons.
 The Y. NJ c. A. will also be repre- sented by strong eleven as may be seen by perusal of the list of candi- 1: dates: Captain Shute. c. F. Goss, Jr, Bauby, H. Dews, Mcfarland, D. Clark, Charles Warner. c. F. Mckay, William Kenealy, Sickmund, Tattleton, Patchen, Reeves, Armbruster and others. Manager Clapp intends to ar range several games with good out of-town teams.
