 We have not the slightest doubt, that if Neriden was to pick a team from the best players in all the leagues Waterbury would still be her jonah, and vet Meriden would sooner defeat Waterbury than any team in the league.

MITCHELL AND ABINGDON

Charlie Mitchell, who is expected in New York soon, recently discussed the E,itzsimmons-Han fight at New Or leans. Mitchell had never thought q man could be knocked out hard and fast, but Hall was by Fitzsimmons. '.As far as beating the Squire out of a lot of money said he, that was bosh. He never bet on fights, al though he would back man. But what was it for a man of Abingdon's wealth to back q fighter for e ,OOO? Nothing at all It is done for larger amounts by many, many men,"

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
Young Man Discovered in Attempt to
Burglarixe Drug store.

Young Man Discovered in Attempt TO
Burglarixe Drug Store.
An important capture was made by the
police of the third precinct about O'Clock
this morning in the arrest Of Frederick Will
liams, young colored man. who was try
ing to enter the drug store at the Portland,
at 14th street and Vermont avenue. Charles
Simpson, colored, was also arrested and
held on suspicion. Williams luckily escaped
a number of bullets that were fired at him
by the police before he surrendered.
During the past few weeks the police Of
the third precinct have been annoyed by
burglars who committed robberies at small
stores, and Lieut.. Boyle laid plans to catch
them. As the burglaries were invariably
committed after midnight he strengthened
the force during the early morning tour or
duty and last night the men Were sent out
in citizens clothes. About O'Clock Special
Officer Poole discovered two colored men
One Of them was endeavoring to cut the
putty from the window. They ran, and the
special officer fired several shots at them as
they were being pursued.
Policeman Lehman, who was attracted by
the shooting. took up the chase, and he, too.
fired at the men. Near 10Th and NJ streets
Policemen Mccarthy and Hospital Joined
in the chase, and succeeded in arresting
Williams. When taken to the police station
he admitted his guilt, and told Of another
robbery in which he was implicated. He
informed the police of where he had dis
posed of a revolver he had taken from one
house.
He gave Vermont alley as the place of
his residence, and said Simpson was the
man who was with him.
1t was because of his statement that the
officers went to Simpsons house and took
him from his bed. Simpsons appearance,
the police state, indicated that he might
have recently engaged in a sprinting con-
test. He denies that he was in any way
connected with Williams in his early morn
ing visits to stores.

Latest About Big Fight.
Mr.. w. N. Hobart. president of the Saen-
gerfest Hall Association of Cincinnati, said
the last night in that city that the con-
tracts had been let for the remodeling of
Saengerfest Hall for the Jeffres-Ruhlin con-
test February 10, the work to be completed
by February 8. Mr.. Hobart declined to state
the exact cost, but 1t will be not less than
$1,000. The letting of these contracts, it
has been all along declared by the organic
ed opposition to the fight. would mean the
opening Of real strife to whether the
fight should be allowed to take place. Big
legal moves are therefore expected within
the next twenty-four hours.
Yesterdays work of the Saengerfest board
means that it will invest another $1,000 in
addition to the forfeit money $4,000 al
ready up in the boxing contest enterprise.
Mr.. Hobart said the tickets would be put
on sale Monday and that positively nothing
now stood in the way of the contest. He
said the mayor would certainly duly grant
a permit.
