DENY REPORT ABOUT TRAFFIC. POOLS

1t is reported that a traffic pool eastbound
freight shipments has been in existence for several
months, and also that another pool has been formed
by the Western lines, covering the territory west
ward from Chicago. These reports are denied, how
ever by representatives of the roads, and it is de-
Clared that the establishment of statistical bu-
reau'' since January l has no other significance
than a desire the part Of the roads to obtain
accurate a record possible of the amount of
business handled. This knowledge, 1t is admitted
will conduce to the maintenance of uniform rates.

That Is the Way South Sea Islanders
 Go About Catching Fish.

The natives of Tutui1a, one of the islands of Oceanica, have peculiar method of catching fish. At a given signal all the inhabitants of the will Iage assemble on the seashore, to the number of about 200 persons, each one carrying branch of the cocoa palm. With these in their hands they plunge into the water and swim a certain dis tance from the shore, when they turn, forming compact semicirele, each one holding his palm perpendicular in the water, thus making sort of seive. The leader of the party then gives a signal, and the fishers all approach the seashore, gradually in perfect or der, driving before them multitude of fishes that are cast on the sands and killed with sticks.
 The fish are then cooked over hot coals and served with bananas and CO., coanut milk
 The scene is most picturesque and interesting, the effect being height ened by the appearance of the na- tives, who usually have their hair pow dered white, the warriors in the tribe having theirs powdered red.

BASEBALL NOTES

A movement entirely independent of the Players Protective association ilhs been inaugurated by members of Ma tional league teams against club own CTS for the purpose of compelling m increase of salaries. Contracts for 1902, it is said, will not be signed until the demands of the players are con ceded.
 'St Louis will not only have m American league team in 1902, but will have one that will finish one, two or three in the pennant race" said James McAleer, former manager of the Cleve- land American league club, who ar rived in St Louis yesterday. 'The club will be composed of the pick. of the players of the Milwaukee American league club, strengthened by material from the National and other leagues" The undergraduates of Princeton university last night celebrated the winning of the base ball championship from Yale last spring by kindling tremendous bonfire around the historic cannon back of Nassau hall Previous to the illumination of the cannon a torchlight processiGh was. formed by the students.5 Captain Green and tlle members of the championship team made brief addresses after the fire was started.

THE ENGLISH cR1cKETERs.
London Paper Takes Exception to the
 Comments Made in Philadelphia.

London Paper Takes Exception to the
 Comments Made in Philadelphia.
 London, Oct Commenting on the dispatches from Philadelphia, which stated that the cricket clubs of that city were offended at the mediocrity of Bosanquet's English cricketers, and that the English players made the trip simply to witness the inter-university games, and America's cup races, at the expense of the New York and Philadel- phia cricketers, the Evening News yes- terday says the facts hardly justify the complaint, as the English team won two games and lost two The paper says the team contained five amateurs who have played regularly and successfully on county cricket clubs, and also three well known uni versity players. The team might pos- sibly have been deficient in bowling. but 1t proved to be more than the equal of the Philadelphians under nor- nal cricket conditions.
 The News continues: sTt is begin- ming to dawn upon the British sports man that his American confrere has fallen into the unpleasant habit of grumbling when there is no occasion for it." The paper then instances the cases where, 1t says, the American newspapers described the Leander crew during the Henley regatta as national eight collected for the occa- sion, and again where an American writer made an unworthy and unjustIt fable suggestion in connection with the last race between the Shamrock and Columbia. Now, the Evening News says, the British cricketers are accused of taking a pleasure trip un- der false pretenses.

SOME POLO TALK.
From Boston Comes a Story That
 Leaves Out Connecticut.


 From present indications it looks as though roller polo would have another prosperous season in New Engltnd.
 Last season ended with three clubs in Maine-Po Portland, Lewiston and Bid deford-and six clubs in ;Ithe South eatsern league Plymouth, Brockton, East Weymouth, Clinton, Salem and Lawrence. Plymouth, Lawrence and Salem have formed a compact with the two Maine clubs, Portland and Lew iston, and added Manchester complet- ing what appears to be the most sub- stantial polo league known for several years.
 This left Clinton, Brockton and East Weymouth out in the cold, and Sam uel Upton has undertaken the task of getting enough cities in line to form a six-club circuit MT Upton is not con- nected with any club, but lives in East Weymouth and is, perhaps, willing to manage a club for that town.
 Fall River and Pawtucket are about the only places left for the Southeast ern to take in, unless some of the Con- necticut cities should muster up collr- age enough to start on q light scale.
 The New England league has picked out more than fifty of the leading polo players and assigned seven or eight men to each club, so that the pick of the profession will be found in this league. Among them are Canavan, Cotter, Doe, Mckay, Parsons, Jean, Wodtke, Roberts, Bone. Hayes, Hip son, Lations, Pierce, McGilvray, Ever ett, Conway and an army of younger players that are now doing the finest kind of work. Tom Cotter, the great est all-around player the game ever saw, will give up surface work and tend goal hereafter He will be i'll Manchester, backed up by a strong lcub
 Two more cities may be added to the six clubs now in the combination at the next meeting, as an eight-club schedule is q good thing for either polo or base ball. Boston Globe.

TYPICAL SOUTH AFRICAN STORE

o. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays River. Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the pro- verbal needle to an anchor" This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twenty-five miles from the near est town. MT Larson says: "I am with the custom of farmers within radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Cham beFlain's remedies. All testify to their ya4uesin a household where a doctors advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the pop ulation is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Reme- dy. This must surely be a record. For sale by all druggists.

BURKE CALLS "A SPoRT."
Backer of First Unknown Throws It.
 Into Writer of Yesterdays Article.

James J. Burke was a caller at the Democrat office to-day, and the wres-s ting game continues to boil over. lie said that he would almost bet every dollar he had in the world that tue writer of yesterdays article was James $. Carroll He claims that he gave Mfr Carroll chance about three weeks ago t9 post a forfeit for a match with his unknown, but that the said MT Carroll did not come to time with the money. He claimed that MT Carroll and Paddy Mack called down at his place of busi- ness some three weeks ago and asked to match an unknown against Burke's unknown and wanted forfeit posted. Burke claimed that he would post ;t forfeit right there, but MT Carroll so he said, wanted week in which to do it. The week went by and two weeks more, and no money was forthcoming, and then it was that Burke went to New York and arranged another match. He has made that match and his unknown will wrestle at the Jacques auditorium against Thomas J. Carroll on October 31. The match will be at 145 pounds, and MT Burke claims his unknown is not George Bothner either. He offered his challenge to any 13S-pound man in New England in good faith, but not one of the wrestlers wanted to put up any money. After the match on October 31 the same chal- lenge is open to "A Sport" Mir Carroli or anyone else who has the ready money to bet. He claims there is too much hot air being wasted and all he wants is fair show in the matter of challenges. He showed the articles of agreement signed between Thomas J. Carroll of New York and his unknown and they appear all right. He also showed receipt from Dr T. D. Le- hane Df New York, who had been made the stakeholder. He talks right from the shoulder, does this Mr Burke, and evidently has some wrestler whom he has unbounded confidence in. There should be something doing around this city pretty quick, according to his side of the story

WITH THE WREsTLERs.
Several People Are Now After John A.
 Little.

L1IIlc.
 John J. Little seems to be in very hot water with his professional breth- ren, and there are a couple of them who just want to eat him up, says the Brockton Times. The warmest of the pair is James Gilligan, who claims the lightweight wrestling championship of New England. In regard to Little's last offer of a match: Lawrence, Mass.-I am willing to accept that offer of Little's that he would make a match agreeing to throw me three times in an hour. I will bet him $100 that he cannot throw me three times in an hour, and I will meet him or any of his representatives Wednesday night at o'clock and be prepared to post for felt. I will show Little and the public that I am not looking for any cheap advertisement. Yours truly, James Gilligan, genuine champion lightweight wrestler of New England.p In addt- tion to the above there is some other trouble ahead for Little. Charles D. Jackson, the well known collar and el- bow wrestler of Worcester, is anxious to make a match with Little, in Il mixed style, for anywhere from $250 to $500 a side. Jackson's proposition is to wrestle two half-hour heatss one heat at collar and elbow and the other heat at catch as catch can, the man se- curing the greatest number fO falls In the two heats to be declared the win ner. A match under the above cir cumstances would be novel one, and it remains with Little whether he wants either one of the above or both matches
 The return home of Harvey Parker has started up the wrestling talk about New York, and the Little Demon is just as demonstrative and boastful as ever about his wrestling qualities. The New York sporting writers accept Par ker at his own estimate, and declare he is the master of all wrestler living within twenty-five pounds of his own weight The people over ill New York seem to think the same way, for he is packing the theaters where he is ap- bearing, and is disposing of two or three big fellows at each performance. He is decidely a bigger attraction now in the wrestling line than he was be fore he went to Europe. Parker on Sunday said he would no doubt wres- tie Atherton the coming season, and that it was also among the possibilities that he would have to match with Me Leod, as all the rest were afraid Of him. He said he barred no other big man living in this country. It was suggested that he meet Prof Lundin, who has been beating everyone in Worcester. To this Parker had little to say, and did not warm up on the subject He merely said that perhaps he would give Lundin another match this winter. Parker and Lundin wres- tied in Hartford last season, and Lun- din got the first fall. After wrestling an hour and q half for the second, fall. midnight was reached and the contest was stopped.

 Games and Notes Taken On the
 Coach Lines.
 New Haven, Oct 1O.-Yale ran up a total of 'twenty-four points against Wesleyan yesterday afternoon and shut out the visitors. The first half was fast one, but ill the second there was much loose play on Yale's part, que 70 the presence of substitutes. Wesleyan, on the other hand, played a better team game in the second half- lnglls was injured and taken out before the first half closed.
 Yale's big rush line had strong attack. and Wesleyan could form no defense against the line bucking or Wilhelmi and Chadwick, the plunges of GOss and Hogan in the tackles back formation, and hardly any against the Interference for Hart on end runs. Dig gains were the rule of the first half, Yale running up eighteen points. In 
 hold the Yale line twice for downs, and when thus in possession of thesball made several notable gains through Johnson at left guard. He was the weak spot in the line, due more to ill., perience than strength, however.
 Calder's punts gained but little for Wesleyan, as he sent them out of bounds. Two rusheS, even when Wes- leyan made respectable gains, seemed the limit of their attack on the line. At times three or four of the team would be on the ground, used up by the fierceness of the play. The inter ference by, Yale's forwards was better than in any previous game. and the speed of the first set of backs was an improvement Thompson and Corsca- den for Wesleyan distinguished them- selves.
