ed of the year and it is a matter or re- gret to baseball followers that cireum- stances combined to dim his 1901 ca- reer. As it is he would have had more victories to his credit with better hit ting behind him.
 John Kennedy, one of the owners of the Bristol base ball club, has re- ceived a letter from James Fl. O'Rourke of Bridgeport, president of the State league in which he congrat- ulates that manager in the warmest terms on winning the pennant. He adds: "The honor is a coveted one. You have won it under admirable cir cImstances and conditions, free from taint and suspicion, and by the strict est observance of every principal of fair play. May the example you have given us in 1901 be an incentive for emulation in 1902. The race was a great one, the best in the history of our grand little league, and to you do we willingly present our acknowledge ments and kindly greetings. May your financial standing be proportionate with your professional success-great. You deserve all the good things that can and will be said of you, and none, I assure you. will rejoice more than yours truly, James H. O'Rourke."
 All of the magnates of the American league excepting Charles Somers of Boston met in Chicago yesterday. 1t was decided, according to all present, to have a team in St Louis next spring, but the question of what team to trans fer was left open. The idea of going into Pittsburg has been given up and the New York proposition is left for future reference The question of a change to 50-cent ball was discussed, but no action was taken. A black list was created and upon it were placed the names of the eight National league players who, after signing with the American last spring. jumped back to the older organization. These men are Christy Mathewson. Dineen, the Bos- ton pitcher; Roger Denzer and Luther Taylor, pitchers of the New York team; Victor Willis, pitcher of the Bostons; Davis of the Pittsburgs! Sheckard of the Brooklyns and Emmet Heidrick of St Louis.

I2lGM 6 POOR
 AlLslEZE A

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 maiady. 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, protrlding 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 a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

 When James J. Corbett first came east from California he wore his hair pompadour style, and his clothes were evidently not cut on Broadway. Since he won and lost the heavyweight championship Corbett has changed his appearance very materially. To begin with, he sacrificed the pompadour hair, and by system of natty dress ing has brought about transforma- ton.
 Photographs of the former cham pion as he now looks have reached the Pacific coast, and those who knew him there as a bank clerk are much pug zled. They have difficulty in distin- gushing the features of the former Californian, and there is a disposition to find fault with his changed looks. One of his former townsmen makes this comment:
 Judging by the latest published picture of James J. Corbett, the ex. San Franciscan has lost all the youth ful, genteel appearance that made him noticeable figure among pugilists. He also has done away with, that pom- padour and now wears his hair parted in the middle and fattened down at the sides like that of an Anglican cur- ate of the Reverend Robert Sparerib type. His face looks hard enough to crack cocoanutS on, and the only good point about him is that he has retain ed his agile figure and appears fit to go right off into training if inclined that way.
 But James has other views than getting himself hurt by any other big, strong, active, aggressive person. It is darkly whispered that he has deep designs on the part of Hamlet Judging by what is published in the New York papers there is no boxing act in the play, but Hamlet and fellow called Laertes have q fierce duel with rapiers in the last act and Hamlet kills Laertes and then dies of his wounds himself. Jim won't like this latter clause and doubtless the dramatist will rewrite the act and have the cur tain fall with James Hamlet standing with one foot on the breast of his fall en foe, waving the Stars and Stripes ill one hand and with the other grasp ing the referees outstretched mauley.

CANADIANS WIN MATCH.
The United States Team Lost After a
 Good Rifle Contest.

2
 Sea Girt, Sept 6.-After holding for many years the Palma trophy, emblem atic of the championship at rifle shoot ing, the United States yesterday was obliged to relinquish it to the Canadian rifemen. They outshot the American team 2S points, the total scores being 1,522 to 1,494 On the 800 and 900- yard targets the Americans held their own very well, but when the two teams moved back to the thousand yard range the visitors walked away from their opponents. This was not surprising to many, in view of the fact that the Canadians have always been recognized as fine long range shots.
 The carbine team match was won by the men from the First troop of the National Guard of New Jersey, known as the Essex troop, and they celebrated their victory royalty. This match was shot over the 200 and 300 yard ranges, and resulted in tie between the ES- sex men and the Pennsylvania squad ron, each having a total of 205. But as the Jersey rifemen had the better aggregate score over the longer range the Pennsylvanians had to take sec- ond place. Squadron A of New York was next with 1S4 and Troop A of Maryland fourth with 1S0.
 Tn the Schuetzen match at the 200- yard ranges, D. w. G. Hudson made the top score of 216 out of a possible 225 on the German ring target, and tied with Harry M. Pope of Hartford and Michael Dorrier of Jersey City, each having made 139 out of possi- ble 150 on the standard American tar gets 4

ABOUT THE RINGsIDE.

Terry McGovern announces that he is through with acting and that he will confine himself exclusively to sparring and boxing hereafter. McGoyern de- clares that acting runs fighter down instead of increasing his strength.
 George Siddons, the old-time feath- erweight, went into the ring in q re- sort not far from Boston the other night. Siddons, who has been fight ing for nearly 15 years, met young ster named Young Gibbs. Gibbs gave Siddons such whipping in six rounds that his seconds threw up the sponge.
 Kid Ashe of Cincinnati has received an offer to meet Joe Cans in Balti- more. Ashe recently challenged Cans and as soon as Al Herford, Gans's manager, heard of it. he notified the Kid that he could have a contest. If the affair comes off it will be decided within three weeks.

Getting Ready for the Game Up Mas
 sachusetts Way.
 Polo for New London was given up fC. s,oo,l r.aeons. Inc pIlnc4l1ai req son was that the managers of other proposed clubs about the state insist ed on an agreement that the profits should be equally divided between the clubs, instead of the percentage sysr tenn such as prevails in the State ball league adopted.
 It is reported in polo circles that Fred Doe will be manager in Lowell, and will ask for franhcise in the Southeastern.
 Upton's move in going to Brockton to work has setathe polo enthusiasts guessing. Not "a few. are picking him for the next managers of the Brockton team. He was always on good terms with the directors and at. present Brockton is apparently without man ager, as Mir Dwyer does not care to serve again. If Plymouth should be dropped Upton would no doubt be will ing. He mentions some things about polo and among the most prominent is to have a little league in southeastern Massachusetts, and bar Lawrence, Lowell and other autocratic cities out. He would see Plymouth, Brockton, East Weymouth. perhaps, Taunton and Rockland banded together, and thinks 1t would be great. There ap- pears to be method in his madness in regard to barring Lawrence nd Lowell. William Parsons has a strong string | up that way and the Plymouthite does not seem to have any Cupid $ darts, for the veteran Parsons thinks that Ply 1 mouth is too far out of the way to be paying town for team. Thus it seems to be small war between the | two, and there will be case of the | survival of the fittest or of both, if a | compromise can be reached through 1 the aid of Brockton, which wants both | in.

HANDLER sEEKs A MATCH.


 Jimmy Handler of Newark, who has been displaying rare form of late, wants to try his skill against Kid Car ter. Handler received decision over Carter when the latter was just bud ding as fighter. Jimmy says that ever since that time he has been very anxious to get another chance at Car ter. Handler is also desirous of tack ling George Gardner of Lowell, who whipped Carter ill Frisco the other night. Handler met Gardner before the Hercules A. C., Brooklyn, when boxing was in vogue in this state and knocked the Lowell fighter out after a vicious struggle. Handler says that he has written to Bill Crowley of the Nutmeg A. O.. Hartford asking whether the latter will hang up a purse for himself against either Gard ner or Carter

 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. 1.8 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn, ,says: "To any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, l can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for 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 l procured Doan's Ointment at 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 on the market
 Just such emphatic endorse ment can be had right here in Waterbury. Drop into Lakes drug store and ask what his customers report.

o,BRIENs RING ETIQUETTE.

Jack O'Brien is making himself pop ular by his ring manners. When he knocks an Englishman down he al ways picks him up, and when he stands over him or pushes him against the ropes he always veers away and makes a nice apology, with his hand upon his heart, before resuming the fighting, while the poor Englshman rolls his eyes, gasps and says: "Hall right, pal; Hi know you're good feI- low"

RrTTtNG ON YACHT RACE

The news yesterday that the Colum- bia had been chosen to defend the America's cup did not seem to bring to the surface in the Stock Exchange any great supply of money to be bet on the Shamrock II. A wager of $500 to $4O0 was made, E. Wassermann put ting up the $500 on Columbia Thomas Mccarthy offered to bet S1 900. on Col umbia at even money but found no takers. Wasserman. it Is said, has S25 900 to bet against S20.0o0, that the Shamrock will not win.

FIGHTING AT NEW BRITAIN.

New Britain, Sept 6.-The best box ing bout which has taken place in this city was that at the Casino last night under the auspices of the National A. c. There were about six hundred present. including delegations from New York and nearby Connecticut towns. John Willis acted as referee, and James Cornell as timekeeper. The star bout of the evening was between Artie Simms of Akron, o, and Kid Thomas of New York. The western man had his own way from the start, and in the 18th round Thomas, appar- ently to save himself from defeat re- sorted to questionable tactics and foul ed repeatedly, striking Simms low. After several warnings Willis award ed the fight to Simms on foul The preliminary between Spider Clark and : Morris Miller, both of Hartford, was an easy win for Clark in the fourth round.

NJ. J.

Samuelson is q big and powerful man and went to Worcester from Sweden within short time He will have the advantage in weight and he is also clever. as Hjal- mar Lundin was unable to throw him in a limited time recently. DWyer taught President Roosevelt to wrestle When Dwyer left the gov ernor he was asked to provide good man for. Roosevelt to practice with. Dwyer picked out q man that he be- lieved was all right and Roosevelt threw him all around the room.
