Arrangements Made to Seat a Large
 Crowd at Wrestling Bout

Crowd at Wrestling Bout. This evening at the opera house Kelly of Waterbury and Mayser of Naugatuck will battle on the mat for supremacy in the wrestling field. Both men are in the pink of condition and the large crowd that is expected to be present will witness one of the best mat matches that has been seen in this vicinity. MaySer will have tie heavy end of the weight, but Kelly expects to get the better of the scientific part of the game. Much Waterbury money will be in evidence tonight, for the To- cal contingent are liable to give odds on Kelly. NauGatuck is Mayser to the backbone and much money will be wagered on the outcome. Arrange ments have been made to seat the large crowd and taking it all in all it bids fair to be a noticeable sporting night in Naugatuck.
 The games in the local basket ball league were fast and exciting last night. especially the last one between the Y. M. C. \. and \. \. C. The first game was between tho \. IT. $. and the |. C. w. C., and resulted ill a victory for the High school boys. The Wheel club boys started off to play a good. strong game, and all dur ing the first half the game was pretty even. but in the second half the High school boys, who had been playing . 1istleSS game, pulled themselves tOgeth CT and from that time to the end of the game they threw baskets as they pleased. During the second half Un- ion City seemed to lose all confidence ill herself and played q sort of T don't care" game. The principal fea- lures of this game were the neat blocking of George Patchett and the basket throwing of Grove. The teams lined up as follows:

 Notes on the Games.
 Curry. of the '. M c. A. team should discontinue his dirty playing for the rest of the season.
 Grove, of the High school. team broke the record Of the league fol throwing goals last night. The record was formerly ten baskets, and was held by Clifford. but Grove secured eleven last night, and so has the high est number to his credit.
 Tompkinson. of the '. N. C. A. team felt so sore over last nights defeat that he thought that he would be re venged on Scorekeeper Klein anC went down in the hall and started al argument. during which he allowed hi: temper to get the best of him and ht tore the score book to pieces. Mi Tompkinson should not so far forge himself as to do an ungentiemanly aci and he should offer an apology to Scor CT Klein as soon as possible
