 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. TBS Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn. says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, can with confidence recommend Doan s Ointment. I was for a long time bothered with a persistent irritation on my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments I used did me any good until I procured Doan's s Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that felt relief from the first, and improved steadily It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is or the market. "
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here ir Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.

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 aD- 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 safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment IS q pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

BASE BALL NOTES.

That the American base hall league will invade New York in the near fu- tHre and that tho domain of Andrew Freedman will become q part of the circuit of the new organization. is a certainty. although Ran Johnson has not yet made a formal announcement. His talk. however, indicates that he has seen things in a different light since the downfall of Tammanv and the passing of the power of Freedman. whose control of hase bali has been absolute in the Empire city. sIt is glorious chance for the American league to enter New York now" said Johnson just before he left on his trip to Detroit. 'sWe have our grounds all picked out. too althongh we have not made any lease of them yet New York is the one city that we lack in o1r circuit and I haya been there a connle of times rncnptlv to see about getting in." Raltimnrn will be the team that will be transferred to the new berth. as there is no comparison between the two towns as base vail in- yestments.

POLO LEAGUE MEETING.
All Arrangements Perfected at Last
 Nights Gathering.

Nights Gathering.
 The directors of the new Connecti- cut Polo league held a meeting last night in the Hotel Garde. New Haven, to further complete plans for the opening of the season which takes place over the circuit on next Thurs day evening.
 The disposition of the Hartford fran chise was finally made to Daniel O. Connor and that club has adopted q combination of blue and red for it's colors.
 Several rules were adopted. The one considered of the most importance was a rule prohibiting any player from inquiring of the time keeper how much time is left to play in any, game The penalty for violating this rule will be 9 fine of $2. This rule will prevent players from finding how much time is left and consequently they will not know whether it is best to loaf or not Players on the winning side have been in the habit of asking how much time is left and when there is only few minutes the men will play easy, thus depriving the spectators of spicy fin- ish to the contest.
 Another rule is that the rinks must be uniform in size or as nearly so as possible. The Meriden rink is already
 eing made smaller.
 The referees will be ordered to an- nounce the lineup of the clubs to the crowds before each game.
 The following referees were appoint ed: Michael T. Doherty, New Haven; Thomas Leahy. New Haven. and Charles W. Messer, Waterbury. The substitute referees are Joseph Connor of Waterbury. and w. J. Rorty of Hartford.
 A schedule will be ready in few days. It is nearly completed. The New Haven and Wallingford clubs have picked their teams out of players assigned at the last meeting of the di- rectors. but the other clubs will not report until early in the week.
 The New Haven team will be com posed of Bone and Cunningham. rush CTS; Canavan, center; Gardner and To- bin, halfbacks, and Chatfield or Berry. goal tend
 The Wallingford team will play as follows: Davidson and Spencer, rush. CTS; Farrell, center; Whipple, half back; Lations, goal, and Warner sub- stitute.
 The directors will meet again in the Hotel Garde next Tuesday evening.
 Everyone felt sorry for Tibbetts in the second goal of the first period. when he was struck and so terribly CD injured that he sank to the floor beside his cage. His fellow players were at his side in a moment-they were all there with the exception of Wiley who was off in another part. of the hall peg ging like mad and hurrying for dear life to adjust his skate The rules of this year do not allow time out for repairing skates. but they do admit it when man is injured and Tibbetts knew it. It was clever trick and "Tib's' recovery and the adjustment of Wiley's skate occurred almost si- multaneously Lawrence Telegram.

Making Lots of Money and Finding Lots of Victims-One Round Was
 Sufficient for the Champion of Eng land-Peter Maher and Jim Jeffords To-Night.
 Liverpool, Nov S.-Jack Scales, who was considered the best heavyweight pugilist in England. was again beaten by Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia at the Liverpool athletic club last night.
 Scales and O'Brien met in six round bout three months ago. and the American beat him easily. The Brit ons, however, still thought that Scales was champion, and the second bat tie was arranged. Now they are firmly convinced that Scales is still . far way from being in the champion ship class, for O'Brien last night knocked him out in one round.
 The men were matched to fight for ten rounds for the heavyweight cham pionship of England, a side bet Of $250 and purse of $1,000 offered by the club.
 O'Brien entered the ring weighing about 165 pounds. Scales looked much heavier than the American. It was announced that he weighed 175 pounds. It was remarked on all sides that Scales was in better condition than ever before and considerable money was wagered On the Briton. but the ad- herents of the American fighter had to give odds.
 Tho ma oI, n sound of the bell. Scales rushed in, and soon the men were slugging each other at close quarters. O'Brien clev- erly avoided several swings for the jaw. When the Englishman missed swing for the jaw. O'Brien side stepped and brought his right around on Scales jaw with enough force to drop the Bliton. When he arose he was sent to the boards second time and counted out.
 Kid Mccoy witnessed the bout as did several other American sporting men.
 Peter Maher, who still clings to his moth-eaten title of Irish champion, will be in battle tonight when he faces the gigantic James Jeffords at Baltimore. The contest is scheduled for ten rounds, which may be too many. Maher evidently desires to wreak vengeance on Jeffords, who re gently had the better of a six round polka at Lancaster. In their first en- counter ,Jeffords was somnolent in round ?, and it may be he has inn proved. Maher certainly has deter iorated, but unless Jeffords has con- quered tendency to faint-heartedness at critical moments. the Irishman should prevail.
