THE FOOTBALL OUTLOOK.
High School May Have Strong Team
the Coming Season.

High School May Have Strong Team
the Coming Season.
Much interest has already been cen-
tered in football at the Waterbury
High school during the coming scar
son. The prospects of a strong foot7
ball team are very good, as good as
for several years. Several members Of
last years champion eleven have re-
turned to school and there will be a
promising lot OF new candidates. The
material from which to select a star
eleven viii be strong. Maurice Gull
hane has returned to school and he
will probably be made captain of the
team. He is one OF the best quarter
backs the local school team has ever
had. Other good players are Wheeler,
Gardner, Frank Thompson, Lewis,
DAILY and Guilfoile. Henry Cook, cap
tain of last years team, may also be
be seen on the gridiron in q High
school uniform this season.
But the matter Of good team is
not troubling the High school students
at all, but the question of whether the
local school will be granted admission
to the Trinity Football league is
causing them much anxiety. AS is
we'll known the Connecticut Interscho-
lastic Football league Is thing of
the past. The local High school won
the cup three years in succession and
the cup is theirs forever. In the
Trinity league there are five High
schools, Hartford, New Britain, Meri-
den, Boardman and Torrington.
Neither Meriden or New Britain have
any love for Waterbury, for they have
not as yet recovered from the defeats
administered to them the past three
years by the local eleven, and they
will probably vote against the admis-
sion of Waterbury into the league, as
they have too much fear of her.
Bridgeport and Hillhouse High schools
may also apply for admission and as
only one team will probably be admit
ted, Waterbury will have to hustle to
get in.
A meeting of the High School Ath-
letic association will be held tomorrow
when a delegate to the Trinity league
will be appointed. The name of John
Gaffney is being mentioned promi-
nently for the position and also for the
position of manager.

lieves that she is as far up the line as
she can get now and whenever there
is chance to play listless ball the
advantage lis taken. That was the case
yesterday and Meriden was with her.
Tt was a poor exhibition Of base ball.
Deegan, a new twirler for Meriden,
occupied the box and he did good
work considering the miserable play
ing behind him. He received two
hard bumps, too, in the second inning.
one a liner from Dan Hoffman's bat
and the other while he was at bat in
that inning. He stuck to his post,
however, and won out. The score:

Waterbury Sends New London
Into Third Place.

The Locals Played a Double Header
Yesterday in the Whaling Town and
Dropped Both-The First Game Was
Fifteen Inning Affair Meriden
Trounces Springfield Umpire Klimm
Again Asserts His Authority.
New London, Sept Anew London
went into third place yesterday by de-
feating Waterbury twice at Armstrong
park. The first game was the long
est of the season, it taking 10 innings
for the Whalers to get away with it.
The game was largely a battle OF
pitchers, Paige and Lindemann doing
the box work for their respective
teams. The run getting was pretty
much the result of errors, both teams
mispIays being costly ones. The pitch
ers kept the hits well separated and
deserved better support than they got.
Paige's work was exceptionally good.
The bright particular star of the local
team in this game was Rising, who
covered a mile of territory and accept
el every Cudnce I4dl CAME 10 Hill, al
of them the hardest kind. The extra
innings Were finely played up to the
last one, when Waterbury lost its grip
and the winning run could probably
have been made several times il ne
cessary. So
In the second game New London
pitched Ford, while Waterbury pre-
scented Staub. Staub is light haired
comedian who has lot of queer
moves. He was an easy mark for
the locals in the first inning, when
they batted him for three runs. Wa
terbury did not get look in, and it
was only question of whether there
would be time to play five innings. 1t
was rapidly growing dark when New
London went to bat in the fourth, and
the crowd yelled to the New London
players to strike out so as to get Wa
terbury's fifth inning disposed of be-
fore the game should be called But
they went calmly at the game as if it
were noon, and If they happened to
get hits instead of sending flies to the
outfelders, or If the Waterbury team
had declined to put them out for a
few minutes more the game would
rave been no game at all. The scores:

MILITARY BASE BALLA
State League Proposed and Meriden
Invited

Invited.
A state military indoor base ball
league is proposed and the members
of the Meriden company are asked to
join, says the Meriden Journal
1t is proposed that the league be COM
prised of teams representing companies
in New Haven, Waterbury, Hartford,
Meriden and Bridgeport. The opinion
lis expressed that the cities mentioned
could be represented with the possible
exception of Bridgeport, and that city
would have a team known as the Yani-
ganS, which is an outside team, but Il
very good one, and has IN excellent
reputation. 1t Is argued that the cities
mentioned are within easy distance of
one another and that the travelling fa,
cilities are good. This would make it
very convenient for members of the
teams to play in the evening and still
return to their homes the same night.
Military companies In the several
cities mentioned have also been inter-
rogated ON the subject. and it is likely
that the suggestion will result in the
organization of the proposed league.
A league of this kind, if properly
conducted and composed of strong
teams would doubtless he a financial
success and furnish plenty Of whole
some amusement for the public. The
New Haven Light Guard team was one
of the list in that city last year, and
with something more to gain than at
any previous time, there would be n
greater contest for places on the team,
hence it would be stronger than last
years and stand a good chance for win
ming the league championship. The
members of the team expressed them
selves last night as being favorable to
the proposal. A meeting of represen-
tatives win soon be held for the pur-
pose of adopting schedule and com,
plotting all necessary details.

Hartford, Sept 4.-Three drivers
were fined 800 each at Charter Oak
park yesterday, all OF them being
charged by the judge with laying up
heats. Hudson got it first. He was
behind Twinkle in the 200 pace and
finished seventh in the first heat Aft
ter he came In seventh in the fourth
heat, having been second In the Sec
ond and third, the judges were CON
yinced that the mare had not been
driven out. In the next race $lO0
fine was imposed on Geers, who drove
Prince of orange, landing tenth and
seventh in the first and SECOND heats
respectively. He then took three
straight and the race Snow was
fined in the 2;O4 pace, after coming in
last among the three tinishers In the
first heat. In the succeeding heats
he had his mare well up with Audubon
Boy and finished second each time.
Dan r. was q strong favorite In the
slow pace, selling for 5000 to $50 for
the field. His hackers did not lose
confidence in him when he made bad
break at the start of the first heat and
came trailing in at the end of the pro-
cession. Bad luck attended The geld
ing again In the second heat, dog
running out on the track and getting
run over by Geers1 sulky. This again
put the favorite to the rear, but he
was still strong in the betting and his
subsequent performances showed the
confidence to be justified. Nut Bearer
disappointed his hackers in the 2.13
trot. He sold 500 to $115 for the
field at the beginning of the race, but
his stock gradually went down and

In addition to his 20 round mill with

A NICE DISTINCTION.
The Old Captain Furnished His Guest
with Money to Pay His
Regular Bill.

The bronzed and blue-eyed ''cap'n'
who takes summer visitors on long
and delightful sails in his pretty boat,
the Phoebe Lou, has never grown rich,
although his native town on "the
Cape is full of well-to-do people for
nearly four months every year. A
newcomer to the place thinks he may
have found the key to the captain'a
moderate circumstances, says Youths
Companion.
One day this young man had invited
a party of a dozen to go as his guests
for an Halliday cruise" with the cap
tain. At the end of the excursion he
found that in the hurry of the early
start he had left his money at home.
CPL be down tomorrow the first
thing, to pay you, captain" he said.
regretfully, ''and I'm sorry was 81
careless as to come off without my
money to-day"
"See here" said the captain, grave.
ly rendering the young man bullying
wallet which he extracted from an in
side pocket, ''if you'd feel any easier to
settle your bill tonight can lend We
the money well as not, and you can
give it back whenever it's convenient,
or let her run over till another spring
its pretty near the end of the season,
anyway. Iknow how you feel about a
regular bill. always want to get 'sm
paid up soon as they're due"

CHAPTER XIV.

In the day of it's beginnings, Wa
haska was trading post on the In
dian frontier. Later it became the
market town of a wheat growing re-
gion, and it was of the wheat grow
ing era that, Jasper Grierson was a
product. He was young man when
he went overland to Colorado in. the
wake of the Pixies Peak excitement,
and his tOwnsmen saw him no more
till he returned in the vigorous prime
of age, wealthy, and the father of a
daughter who presently began to re-
construct the social fabric of Wa
haska upon a model of her own de-
vising. ,...t
In this charitable undertaking Jas
pei Grierson abetted his daughter as
the magnate of small town may.
He built a mansion at the lake-edge
and called it Mereside; and when it
was done gave a hOuse-warming to
which the biddings were in a certain
sense mandatory, since by that time
he had iduciary finger in nearly
every industrial pie in Wahaska.
After the house-warming, Margery
GriersOn's leadership was tacitly &C
knowledged, though the women still
discussed her with more or less
frankness in the sewing circles.
Crystallized into accusation, there
was little to be said against her, save
that she was pretty and rich, and
that her leaning toward modernity
was sometimes a trife startling. But
the charitable seamstresses made the
most of these drawbacks, edging
them now and then with curious
speculations about Margery's mother,
whom neither Jasper Grierson nor
his daughter ever mentioned.
None the less, the big house by the
lake continued to set the social pace.
Afternoon teas began to supersede
the sewing circles; not a few of the
farmers wives attained to the for
NAL dignity of visiting cards with
Wednesdays" or Thursdays" print
ed in neat script in the lower left
hand corner; and in some of the less
conservative households the principal
meal of the day drifted from it's
noontime anchorage to unwonted
mOOrings among the evening hours.
For these innovations Miss Grier-
son was responsible. She had ambi-
tiOns, but she was wise enough to
make the most of present opportuni-
ties. 1t was better to be a leader in
WahaSka than to be an humble fol-

- was tall and strong, and she walked
along
with a firm, substantial tread,
Like one who knows that wherever she
goes
She is earning her daily bread.
Yet she is aware that her face is fair;
But she also understands
That the best of her charms are her stout
red arms
And her strong, hard-working hands.
TITS Them" says she, cas- has work'd for

And as for my face, why, it's no disgrace,

'Such chaps may do for wench like you,
AS IS fond of an easy life; @
ButifI get man, I shall do what can
For to make him a working wife"
Then she went on her beat through the
busting street
With a step like martial mans;
A step that suits her iron-shod boots
And the weight OF ner clanklng cans.
There were many who eyed her stately
stride
As she moved through the yielding crowd,
With her hands on her hips and a smile on
her lips, -... ..
