2Spalding has played another winning card, in that he has baked thea enemy and has secured clear sailing to put into effect his scheme to reorganize. the national game with certain turbulent clements left out.
 While the National league is in this tangle, the magnates have completely lost sight of the fact that the Ameri- can league is strengthening it's teams with the addition of former National league stars. Tile National leaguers have also forgotten to go out for new timber, which, by the way, cannot be secured from the minor leagues, who hold their playing talent in q vice-.like grip. Perhaps this is part of the scheme to cripple certain National league clubs so that when the ineyi- table crash comes they will be totally bereft of players and have nothing left but grounds, for which high rentals must bepaid. In nutshell, while the National league cannot play ball until the present court proceedings end, there is nothing to prevent the Ameri- can league from operating on q much broader basis than i'll the past. It is up to Freedman & Co, therefore, to get the National league out of it's pres ent predicament. for the Spalding fac tion is perfectly willing to stand pat, with number of high cards yet to play.
 The anxiety 1.-the Freedman faction to regain possession of the trunk which Spalding has in his possession has caused much curiosity as to it's con tents. s. a-
 s'Can 1t be-" said prominent base ball man last night, "that the trunk contains a record of a non-payment of dues by certain club? Does it con- tain q record of the , per cent contri- button to the settlement of the cost of reducing the circuit from twelve to eighl clubs2 Or possibly there's Il record of the payment of S1 ,00O for the leagues S12,OOO guarantee to the New York club by the order of Brush? :? What Is there in the trunk that any body wishes to conceaf?.
 Freedman. when asked what he had to say about yesterdays court pro- ceedings, remarked:
 II have nothing to say. The action or the court speaks for itself. I am not talking for publications

w RICH 6 POOR ks] EALlMl5 -

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It IS also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment. IS d pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch- ing diseases of the skin.

MEASURED PLANET MERCURY.
pr. See of the Naval Observatory at Washington Finds Its DiameteR
 to Be 2,65S Miles.

Dr. See, of the United States naval observatory in Washington, has just concluded a measurement of the planet Mercury with the large tel escope of that institution. It's diam- eter is found to be 2.s5s miles. Dr.. See calls attention to the fact that he has never observed any marked spots on the planets disk, not even when the sky was absolutely pure and the image of the planet perfect ly defined on the lens of the tel escope. His observation also is that there is no diminGtion of brightness at the edges of the disk, such as would be produced by an absorbing atmosphere. Although these results agree in general with those obtained at the Lick observatory. they dis agree with those of Schiajarelli and MT. Percival Lowell.
 . Dr. See has made another inter- esting estimate regarding meIeors. Every observer notes a considera bic number of small meteors while he is engaged in, telescopic observations. The field of view of telescope is a very small fraction of the surface of the heavens, and a simple proportion based on the number of meteors en- ables an estimate to be made of the number of meteors in the whole sky. In this manner, says the Wash ington Star, Dr. See estimates there are. about 1,2oo, o,0o0,ooo telescopic me- teors appearing in the sky daily. Between 1o,o0o,0oo and 15,Oo0,eoo me teors, bright enough to be visible to the naked eye, encounter the earth daily, according to the estimate of Prof. Newton.

 San Francisco, Dec 21.-George Gardner of Lowell, Mass. and Kid Car ter of Brooklyn met last night at Me chanies' pavilion, under the auspices of the San Francisco Athletic club. in what was announced as a contest for the middleweight championship of the world. Gardner clearly established his right to the title by knocking out Carter in the eighth round. The men had met twice before under similar conditions, and on each occasion the Lowell man was returned winner. Carter's ability to stand punishment was a revelation.

 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. IeS Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn, says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, I can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for long time bothered with persistent irritation on my body, andnone of the many preparations and ointments l used did me any. good until I procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was. so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that I felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is or the market. 7
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.

M'FADDEN FIGHT STOPPED.

Phfldapelphia, Dec 21.-The fight be- tween George McFadden of New York and Jack Bennett of McKeesport. Pa, in Industrial hall last night. was stopped in the middle of the sixth round by William H. Recap, the ref cree, because the principals did not ad- here to the rules of the prize ring. Me Fadden had the better of the contest as far as it went. The first three rounds were hot ones and were clearly in the New York mans favor. Nrest- ling by both men characterized the fourth round, but the fifth was cleanly fought. After two minutes had elapsed in the sixth the referee interfered, as neither man had needed his warnings regarding wrestling. Bennett put up a stiff fight, but McFadden was the master of the situation throughout. He punched straighter and there was more power behind his blows. In the pre- nminaries Willie Lewis of Brooklyn knocked out Billy Fairburn of this city in the first round, and Young kel- 1y of this city stopped Joe Berry of Brooklyn in the second round.

WOMEN HAVE BEST OF IT.
Deference shown the Feminine Sex in Transferring Salt Lake Street
 Car Passengers.

Women in Salt Lake City have a considerable advantage over the men when they come to patronize the street cars. Tn that haven of Nor monism they have a system of street railway transfers which is hard to beat The passenger who receives q transfer from a Salt Lake conductor is compelled to use it himself or throw it away.
 Every ticket has printed on it, be- sides the usual hours and the names of intersecting lines, row or seven small heads Five of them are male heads, two are female. Of the male heads the first is a beardless face, the second bears a mustache, the third mutton chop whiskers, the fourth a chin beard and the fifth is fully bearded. Beneath the row are two plus signs, with forty between them. The conductor is required to identify each passenger by punch ing one of the faces and one of the signs for age, the first plus being used for young men, the 40 for men of middle age and the final plus for elderly men.
 Of the heads representing women one wears hat and represents young women in general, and the other a bonnet, for matrons. With really rare delicacy, the question of age is not mentioned in regard to female passengers.

 Manager Harrington has the best team of polo players in the league.
 At the present time it looks as though Saturday night would see polo, under the present auspices. at least, cease in Brockton.
 Waterbury has never seen faster polo in any league and the cranks who are staying away from the games are missing some corking good games.
 There should be at least two thou sand people present at the game here Christmas night for the local team is deserving of better patronage than it is getting. Give the boys good send off next Wednesday night.
 That game last night would remind you of the old days when two thou sand cranks would rise in their seats and yell like mad for the home team. That scrap between Conway and Far rell brought back recollections of knobby knowlton.

He was not able to stop him. self and slid into the board railing next the stage.

 ; The fifth straight game is what Waterbury took last night and she has now beaten every team in the league in succession. Wallingford was the victim last night and the home players danced all around the visitors and made goals with ease. This was the more surprising because Eddie Menard was not here, having missed a train, and Spiers, local am- ateur, played in his place. It looked like old times as the Waterburys plugged in the goals and the crowd cheered them on. The game was q good one and was won by the best team The score and summary

HANnIER N SHAPE.

Although he is in shape to go into the ring tonight, Jimmy Handler, the Newark boxer, who is to meet Young Peter Jackson here New Years day, began active preparations for the mill to-day. choosing the rooms of the Brooklyn Athletic club for training quarters. He will do the usual grind of punching the bag, skipping the rope, using the wrist exerciser, and boxing an imaginary opponent and indulge in several other stunts. And he will do this daily, taking 10 mile airing Naugatuck way to fill in time. Hand Ter certainly looks we'll and is making a great many friends here. His re cent match with Young Peter Jackson at Trenton which was stopped by the police in the eighteenth round because of its fierceness, affords a constant source of conversation to the local sporting fraternity. It was warm battle and if the boys repeat their eff forts, the New Years day event will be worth going miles to see.
 The show will start at p. m. and Charley White and Joe Humphreys
 will be the directing officials. Jacques Auditorium, judging by the interest al ready shown, will shelter an immense crowd on the afternoon of New Years day. The show aims to be on the level and is positively the best exhibi- tion ever arranged for Waterbury. Notwithstanding this fact, the prices will remain as before, $1, S1.50, S2 and s. The last price is for ringside seats The preliminaries really take high rank. Frank Hallett of New Ha- ven and Johnny Haywood of Water bury will box 10 rounds at 133 pounds, and Kid Lee of Waterbury will box 10 rounds at 1O5 pounds. meeting Kid ifWestman of Bridgeport.
