The baseball season is drawing to
a close. Only three games remain
ito be played in the City Amateur
league. The baseball season has
hardly breathed It's last when the foot
BAH talk begins. Already the footS
bail talk is growing warm and from
what q person hears local lovers OF
football may expect some fine sport
in that line during the coming season.
There will be at least three or four
star football teams in this city the
coming season. The st Thomas Ca
Aets' A. A. and Go A will surely be
represented ON the gridiron. 1T is
said that the Elms will have no team
this year. but that a number. OF their
players will be seer on the Moonlight
eleven, a new aggregation which will
make its first appearance this season.
1t is not yet known whether or not
the Merrimac A. @. viii have a team
in the field. Neither the Merrimac
nor the Elm football elevens made a
brilliant record last year. It is ru-
mored that William Mcdonald for
merly manager OF the Merrimac elev-
en-, will be manager of an independ-
ent team this season. The st Thomas
Cadets and Co A, which had the star
elevens last season, intend to have
even better teams. Co A wishes to
regain the championship OF the city
while the Cadets desire to retain it.
Hence the public may expect q great
game here on Thanksgiving day.
Manager Henry Batters OF the St
Thomas Cadets A. A., says that he
VIII have team this year that will
be better than any team which has
ever represented a local club. He is
confident that his team viii carry off
the championship. Games will be ar
ranged with all the local teams, espe-
cially with the Moonliglts. Games
Will also be arranged with a number
or QUE Of town teams, Including Naug-
atuck. The Cadets have never de-
feated the Naugatuck team, but they
intend to do so this season. Mana
ger Batters is hot after the Yannfgaus
and VIII try to arrange two pafnea
with them. The first game OF the
season will probably be played at the
Driving park on the last Sunday in
september. Among the members of

form this season are the following:
