NTH TIE AMATEURS. l!
Pretty Fight Going On In the
 City League.

BrOoklyns and Pastimes Will Have to
 Meet for the Deciding Game-Sharp
 Contests Yesterday in Which Wash
 ington Hill Beat Brooklyn and Pas
 times Beat the Cadets-An Admis-
 sion Will Be Charged for the Final
 Game.
 The race in the City Amateur league for the handsome and costly cup is just as close and interesting as was the race in the Eastern league and the present contest in the American league. It looked like q win for the Brooklyn Athletic club up to yester- day, but it has now developed into a battle royal between the Brooklyns and the Pastimes. When the St Thomas Cadets q week or two ago shut out the Pastimes on the Riverside park, all supposed that the Pastimnes were out of the running. Not so the Pastimes, however, for they played all the harder and to-day they stand one game behind the leaders, the Brook 'Iyns. The latter team, while not overconfident, believed that they could defeat the Washington Hills yester- day and thus clinch their right to the cup. The tables were turned and the hill boys have put the Pastimes III a positicn to fight the Broolxlyns for the lead. The iPastimes yesterday looked for satisfaction for that defeat admin- istered by the St Thomas Cadets and they did the trick just as effectively as did the Cadets some weeks ago. The Rrnelslyns and the Pastimes are to meet now in a battle for the finish, and a hard contest it will be. A win by the Pastimes means a tie with the BrooxIyns and a win by the Brooklyn boys means the cup.s The results of yesterdays games are as follows:
 At the Driving Park.
 One of the largest crowds of the sea son witnessed the base ball game al the Driving park yesterday afternoon between the Brooklyn A. c. and the Washington Hill A. c. teams Three thousand persons saw the Brooklyn boys fall victims to their old rivals, the W. H. A. c. winning by the score ot II to $. The Brooklyns played in very ragged condition They couldn't hit McGuinness; they couldn't field the ball. To make things worse, Kelly was as wild as a hare. McGuinness pitched fine ball and only eight hits were made off him. His support was ragged. Dews's playing being, very vel low, almost as bad as Lallier's for the B. A. c. The game was very interest ing and very exciting and the enthusi asm of the spectators was unlimited. Joe Connor umpired q good game. The B. A. C.'s defeat may be attributed to Kelly's wildness and Lallier's many errors. The following score tells the rest:

 ABSORBING TOPICS OF THE SPORTS

is played the human pin setter will have TO do the business.
 It would not surprise those who are devotees of the game if the pin settlers in the principal cities of the country formed union for their pro- tection and the increase of their wages. Strange as it may seem their duties are more arduous than those of a great many laborers. Statistics said to have been collected by an en- thusiastic doctor show that the avo- cation is more dangerous to human life than railroading or mining. The younger the pin boy who sets the pins for the experts who make the strikes, the Jess injury the work brings to his system. It is when the pin setter is middle-aged man or a youth out of his teens that the work tells most.
 When big match is on and the balls are flying down the alleys with great speed and the bowlers are excitedly coaching one another, the bowling alley often seems smoky down at the end where the boys set the pins The fact is the air is surcharged with dust, no matter how carefully the proprietor of the alley may plan to ventilate it.
 Each time the pin boy stoops to set 1 the pins he breathes faster than he would under normal conditions and his lungs are filled with this dust. Be- sides the effort of getting up and down on the seat provided for the boys, so that the lignum vitae balls will not strike them, has a direct effect upon the muscles of the small of the back and superinduces early disorders of the kidneys.

CONNECTICUT LEAGUE.
Annual Meeting of Baseball Managers
 Ocfnher 22.

October 2S.
 The annual meeting of the Connecti- cut Baseball league will be held Octo- Der 2S. The principal matters to come up will be the trouble between Manager Reisling and the Hartford club and the disposal of the Water bury franchise. Regarding the Reis- ling matter yesterdays New Haven Register says:
 Broadly speaking, club that owes it's players beyond the time usually set for payment of salaries is power less under baseball law to enforce fines or suspension, nor can it legally hold it's players in reserve. But the na- tional agreement provides way for the relief of unpaid players, and so far as can be learned Reisling never set the machinery in motion to obtain this Irelief by the prescribed course. It may, therefore, be claimed that he forfeited his right to claim relief The matter was one that should have been handled by the league. A spe- cial meeting should have been called and prompt action taken. The Hart ford club was unable to induce Secre- tary O'Rourke to call q meeting, al- though the required number of con- sents was obtained, so it took action on it's own account, prompt action being demanded by the approaching close of the season. Whatever the league may now do the matter seems bound to reach the courts, and it must be re- membered that judges have invariably held baseball law almost in contempt.

ON THE GRIDlRoN.

The Hartford High school football eleven lined up against the Middle town High school eleven on Trinity field, Hartford, Saturday in their first football game of the season. Score, Hartford ,, Middletown O.
 The New Britain and Meriden High school football teams met for the first game of the season Saturday at Elec- tric field, New Britain. 1t was de- cidedly an unpleasant day for the game and only about 100 saw the teams play the two halves without either side scoring.
 At Brooklyn. Conn, on Saturday, the Company A football team defeated the North End A. c. eleven by the score of Il to o. A large crowd witnessed the victory of the military boys, who were somewhat heavier than their op- ponents. The game was very good fo1 so early in the season. Stout made both touchdowns and kicked one goal Stout and McAndrews, members of the Waterbury state league base ball team during the past season, put up a good game for Company A.

 high schools and academies ane in the smaller schools. Football has taken the center of the field again for an uninterruptec course that will come to an enc Thanksgiving day. The sound of the toe of the athlete coming in contact with the pigslxin oval is making more music.in the soul of the, big aspirant for gridiron honors than whole or chestras could make in the hot weather.
 East and west there will be great season for football this year. Every fall the coaches and critics predict g greater season than the preceding one, and some critics smile. But the fact remains that intercollegiate football is annually takingsa stronger hold on the people. Staid proxy spectators of the practice make men. tai vows that the sport shall be elim. mated from their colleges, but later on they become convinced that par ticipation in football is like meat and air to some strong growing young men, and college that puts the grid
 
 loses prestige-fnds falling off in the number of matriculates.
 There will beisome minor changes in the way football is played this fall on the varsity gridirons, but it is safe to say that not one in ten spec tators will notice that the game is affected in any way. Intricate, diff cult, heart and brain testing and a ] sport only for well-trained and finely ] conditioned athletes, football is like ly to remain the same in it's i'm The tendency of the rules committee is rather to get out of making changes than to burden the book of rules with involved sections. It takes a studious referee and umpire to keep track of the fine points involved in the rules.
 ''Yale" Butterworth, the famous back of former years, is one of the first of the deep students of she game to severely criticize the suggestion of the committee that this fall the goals be changed after each touch down. Like many others who have gained distinction in the varsity game, Butterworth is for pairing down of rules rather than for the addition of "side issues"
 Each year a determined effort is made to abolish the one point scored by kicking goal after touchdown. Many games have been won by col leges possessing the inferior teams, by the margin of one point because the individual of the losing team counted upon for the kick across the bar. has failed to score the point need- ed to tie or win. That the friends of the abolition of this feature of SCOT ing are increasing right along seems to be the case. judging from inter- views had with various prominent college men.
 One noticeable thing about the football outlook in the reports from Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Prince ton, Michigan, Chicago, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Northwestern, etc., even at this early time of the season, is that every school has a big list of candidates, a fairly generous nucleus of old timers and determination to do as well if not better than last year. Practice has begun in earnest, but it will be some time before the makeup of the regular varsity elev- ems will assume denite form.

@@A champion among women, No one ever saw masculine champion in any line of sports accept honors as gracefully as did this young woman. Beyond a few exhibitions of naturally girlish pleasure over the adulation of hosts of friends, Miss Anthony never has displayed anything that could be termed self-consciousness She is the most "unartful" champion the coun- try possesses. Quite a feat to three times lead all your rivals, yet Miss Anthony does not feat, talk and sleep'' golf, as do some of the men experts. She never discusses the game at hone unless her father, an old Yale athlete and golf enthusiast, persuades her to talk about it. As a matter@of fact, Miss Anthony is the eldest, ofaAfamily of three girls, all golfers, but spends her leisure time in making clothes. sShe fairly drives me to distraction by her silence on the game,v remarked her father one day. ..I suppose only the winning of the national trophy will cause Bessie to take golf seriously and talk about her scores, as do some of the other players,'' said Mrs, An- thony.
 Strange as it may seem-and it tells character story better than words few minutes after Miss Anthony and Mrs. w. A Alexander had conclude9 their brilliant and close struggle for championship honorsa struggle that was kept up for 21a hours and with every nerve highly strung until the last putt was made on the last green I found the victor and vanquished chatting in the most friendly and gra- cious manner about clothes. The set- ting of the latest styles of skirts and the wearing of chiffon on hats, with variety of other subjects dear to the feminine heart, were subjects of con- suming interest with them Each had told the reporters at the conclusion of the match what good natures the other had and how hard it was to beat her rival because of the overthrowing of ambitions, yet Parisian modes and styles soon drove thoughts of the championship from their minds. How unlike the men who play for cham. pionshipsl Do they discuss the latest modes in hosiery or vests soon after their battles? It is contrary to the temperament of the masculine golfer to be so, naturally indifferent. He may invite his conqueror to take a drink and whistle to keep up his broken spirits, but fall styles-well, they be "jiggered!'s

 be as popular a sport this fall and winter as it was last, this sign has made It's appearance. Pin boys are a necessary adjunct of the game, and they are going to be scarce this sea- son. A scarcity of maple wood prop erly seasoned for making pins was 8 great drawback to the game last winter. Happily the dealers in bowl ing supplies have eliminated that i'm. convenience, and have in their kilns great quantities of material for new pins. But the pin boys are not anx- ious to work in the alleys. In vain have the old experts like Dr. Timm, Sam Karpf, 'Tug" Wilson, Harry Kiene, Gus Burkhardt and A. c. An son worked on the problem of an au- tomatic pin setter. To do away with surly, indifferent and often fatigued alley employees and get machine that will set up the pins by pressing a button after strike or spare or break seems to be the desire of the experts, but, so far the problem has baked every one of them. The chances are that as long as ten pips

Toronto is a Winner
 The closing of the Eastern league season was the feature of the Satur- day games played on the diamond. Both the Buffalo and Toronto leaders of that league had double-headers billed and as there was only a matter of three points between them it can be seen that if either team lost one game while it's rival won both, the team with the clean record for the day would capture the pennant. Toronto won both and Buffalo Wone one and fought draw in one game, giving the Canadians the championship. Tn the American league another battle royal was fought between the league leaders, the Athletics and the BostoIls, in Phil |adelphia, more than 24, GOO people wit messing the contest. The Clevelands pulled up to within few points of Boston, who dropped to a poor third by reason of losing in Philadelphia. The Clevelands expect to be in the first division this week. The games in the National league were so poor and drew such small crowds that they are hard ly worth recording.
