Captain NTcKeon of the Holsters is the luckiest player in the league.
 Yeager leads in individual bowling. Rostwick is second and J. Curtis is third.
 Joseph Danaher. the new referee, is winning praise for his excellent work. His rulings are fair and impartial.
 The Eagles have a new captain in the person of William Reeves, who is also captain of the '. M. c. A. first team.
 Many new faces are seen on the diff ferent teams this season. Reeves and T. Curtis are the only two old players who gre still in the game.
 An interesting basket ball game will be played at the "gym" on Thursday play the first '. NJ c. X. team.
 NTcKeon leads the league in throwing baskets Larl1in and w. Curtis are next. T. Curtis has the most fouls chalked against him. Kenealey is sec ond.
 The Normans, the last team in the league have been strengthened with the addition of Sickmund and Nichols, and hereafter this team may be ex- pected to win the majority of it's games.
 It looks as if the Nutmegs would win the championship in the Y. NJ. c. A. bowling league, although the Tri- angles are giving them hard rub. Five more games remain to be played in the league.
 i11fC s1.1 fn1 ft1 the games in the Y AI c. A. basket ball league than ever before. Large crowds attend each game. Such en- thusiasm has never before been seen at the Y. NJ. 0. A. "gym."
 Next Tuesday night at the Y. NJ. 0. A. "gym' the Waterbury High school team will attempt to retrieve the de- feat which they incurred at the hands of the Springfield High school team in Springfield several weeks ago.
 The cleanest playing team in the league is the Business Mems team, who are in the lead. The Business Men have had the least number of fouls called on them, while the members of the Monitors the second team in the league. have had the most fouls called on them.
 The race between the Business Men and the Monitors is growing more and more interesting. At the beginning of the season it appeared as if the former would have a cinch; but they ran up against one or two snags. with the re- suit that the Normans are one game behind. It looks now as if either of these two teams will win the cham pionship. Captain Robert Platt of the Business Men is confident of winning while Captain Will Curtis of the Moni- tors cannot see. how his team can lose.

Delaware River Dannerous.

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y, Feb. 26.-- Disastrous effects are feared from the ice gorge in the Delaware river be- tween Callicoon depot and Narrows- burg. A heavy rainstorm makes the situation precarious.
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-02-26

sporting men here were surprised to learn yesterday that Young Peter Jackson had succeeded in making Tommy West stop in two rounds at Philadelphia OH Monday night. West not long ago was considered one of the best middleweights in the ring. but he went away back in the estima- ton or the experts when Walcott tackled him in Madison Square Gar den in the summer of 1900. Though beaten into helpless state West won because Walcott said that his arm was injured at a time when he could have scored a knockout with the oth- CT hand. Young Peter Jackson. by stopping West so summariIy. has mounted another rung on the pugilist- fc ladder. Those who have seen him say that he may turn out to be world-beater in his class.

Robert Fitzsimmons is interesting Chicagoans. He went out to the Lincoln Park zoo in that city on Mon day and said that he wanted to buy the big lion, Leo, for a training com panion. He peered through the bars at Leo. but that was all A cage of half-grown cubs, however, was more attractive and before the keeper knew what was goinS on the lanky pugilist had jumped inside and was punching the young lions right and left At first the animals did not relish the jolts and smashes that Fitz rained at them, but soon they made friends with him and a lively rough and tumble romp followed Fitz fi- nally emerged from the cage with bleeding scratches on his hands and arms as a result of the encounter He said that it was 'bulIy fun.' Some day Fitz may meet with serious ac- cident. He was bitten by a dog the other day, but thought nothing of it. His antics with lions. horses, dogs and other animals have caused many friends to fear for his safety. but Bob says he is not afraid.

most cordial relations now exist be-
tween the two great parties to this
question, and if a rupture comes hope
it cannot be traced to the Incorporate
utterances of Catholic Americans. Let
me close these remarks. which through
your courtesy l have been permitted
to make, by expressing the profound
conviction that the American Catholic
can have no safer guide to measure
the exalted purposes Of the American
government in this crisis than is found
in the reply of Cardinal RampDlla to
the cablegram of Secretary Root.
Commenting on that paragraph in
which Attorney Byrnc compares tlra
Philippine friars with the Irish land
lords the Catholic Standard and Times
says:
There is no just parallel between the
Irish land question and the friars'
property question in the Philippines.
1t is not correct to describe this as
"boundless acres: its actual extent is
known almost to an acre. 1t is about
100000 acres-a mere Spcck on the
map of the vast archipelago, whose
acreage runs into the millions. The
Irish landlords, on the other hand, own
every foot of soil in the island-save
the Curragh of Kildare and the Phoe-
nix Park. They never did a single
thing to establish a moral title to its
possession, but whenever tenants i'm
proved it and reclaimed it from a
prairie state they made such tenants
pay additional rent for it's improved
condition. They acted the part of rob-
bers and blOOdsuckers. The fria1S in
the Philippines. on the other hand,
won their land from the wilderness
and the jungle by their own arduous
toll. Their communities worked on
them with their own hands, till they
made them bloom as gardens. No one
has ever dared to charge them with
rack-rcnting the tenants whom they
took for portions of them. They civil

as degraded and inferior beings. They

| comparison could well he more Odious,
indeed. than that between the case Of
the Irish landlords and the "Naboth's
vineyard" of the slandered Philippine
friars. 1t is pity any Catholic should
have made it.
