The scientists of the Agricultural De
paTtment always work with a practical
end IN view and besides his purely scien-
tific work on the fats. Mr.. CoviHe has
several suggestions 10 offer to the State
and the private owners about the way
in which they may take steps to afford
their grass beds protection. He will
not go into the details OF his sugges-
tions, but they relate TO the building Of
breakwaters at certain points in order
70 catch the silt which is now spread
over all the flats.
Another line Of investigation is into
the life history of the aquatic plants with
view Of determining how they may be
pTopaEated and the beds repIenished af-
ter particularly disastrous seasons. Wild
rice has been experimental with. and
when the investigators have finished
their work. they expect 10 be able to
suggest methods for propagating this
plant as well as wild celery. Several
individuals have tried TO increase par
ticularly the growth of wild rice. but
with slight success.
The nature OF the aquatic plants of
the Chesapeake. their relative values
as duck food, and the means by which
they increase and multiply. are but lit
tie known to scientists OF watermen. but
by next winter Mr.. CovilIe expects to be
able to answer these questions author
itatively- It might be possible TO an
nounce the results earlier, but next fall
the stomachs Of large number OF
ducks will be examined TO learn what
food each species prefers and the deduc-
lions from these dissections viii be val

 that go to make up the stars, he said:
 Actual, natural, physical ability to play ball is one thing, and confidence in ones own powers is another, and is just as important. The player with the swelled head may not be the best fellow in the world to know personally, but if he has the physical aualitica- tions he will be great ball player, while some good souled but difddent chap who is just as strong and speedy is going back, till $75 a month just fits his pay.
 'The player who firmly believes in his own heart that he can hit the ball, and who regards any catch made off his bat as an accident and an astound- ing occurrence, is going to swat some where around 300 all he time, while the half-apologetic player who feels that there are lots of better batters On the team is going to depart to the minor league with u percentage of .142
 Some. men are stars in the minors and no good at all in the bigger organ nations. In most cases these men fail because they feel embarrassed and awe-struck in the presence of the mighty veterans arou1S1 them.

At Bridgeport.


 Bridgeport, Nov. 2S.-The Meridens again won from Bridgeport in n fast basketball game in Sailer's hall last night. The score was IS to 12. The Bridgeport team played better and more consistent game than when they met Meriden in this city a few weeks ago. The blocking was more effective and the passing was all that could be asked for. There was considerable hard luck in the throwing. Several times the ball went within a fraction of an inch of making good. E. Lush threw six of the twelve baskets, some of the shots being difficult. The at tendance was much smaller than the merit of the game warranted there being only 200 present. The spectators, however, were appreciative of the many good plays. The lineup:
 Meriden. Bridgeport. Hall ...... left forward ...... Lush H. Martens right forward. Hoffman Kennedy .... center ... W. Haggerty c. Martens left guard McConochie F. Haggerty fright guard. McKenna
 Score Meriden IS, Bridgeport 12; goals, Hall 5, Martens 2, Kennedy 4, r. Haggerty 1, c. Martens 5, Lush 6, Hoffman 2, Haggerty 3, MeKenna 4; goal from foul, c. Martens; missed goal from foul.

TOM CAREY WON.

Boston, Nov 2S.-Two rounds were enough for Charley Haghey in his fight with Tom Carey. The fight took pace before the Central A. o., and there was a good attendance. The jab- Der, as Carey is called, went after Haghey, and with well timed lefts kept his head rocking. Haghey retail lated with poor judgment, and could not seem to find Carey, who proved to be a very elusive customer.
 Carey's great boxing astonished the members, and they predicted a quick victory for him while the rest was on. They were not amiss in their, reckon ing, for Carey went to work hastily in the second, and soon had Haghey in a bad way. Before the round had gone two minutes a succession of jabs and a right smash to the jaw gave Carey the victory, which Referee Sheehan announced to the members.

GOODWIN WAS CHEATED.

Boston, Nov 2S.-Young. Donohue was severely punished in his fight with Chester Goodwin, the 11S-pound champion of New England. Donohue was substituted for Kid McFadden. g Goodwin was the aggressor from the call of time until the closing round, and with jabs, hooks and body blows he scored on the Roxbury boy in great style. The bout was he'd at the Tam many A. 0.
 The decision of draw by Referee Sweeney was not just one to Good win by any means and disapproval was manifested strongly by many of the members.
 From the fifth to the end Donohue did very little but hug. and in the last two rounds he hung on to Goodwin fer dear life. His blows were weak when he landed. and he smothered and stalled surprisingly we'll.
 It was evident he was there to stay, and he accomplished his end satisfac- torily. He easily outweighed Good win ten pounds.

Jack Roach of This City After Ed

 Jach Roach was caller at the Dem ocrat office today and wanted to ac- cept the challenge of Ed O'Connell of New Haven, to wrestle the best two, out of three falls at -catch-can style. He is willing to go anywhere and before any club in the state to meet O'Connell and all he wants is the New Havener to post forfeit and he will cover it Immediately. He will wrestle for any amount of money and will be ready to wrestle within a few weeks A match between Roach and O'Connell would be corking good one. Both are nearly of the same weight and each is clever and strong. It would probably be the most evenly matched pair that ever stepped on to a mat.

rrrzsIMMoNs 1LL 1N BED.

San Francisco. Nov 2S.-Robert Fitzsimmons is in bed suffering from a severe cold. and his wife fears that he will be attacked by pneumonia. as medicine doesn't seem to have helped him. Mrs Fitzsimmons said yester- day that doctors had forbidden Fitz to receive any callers, and that he was really worse than the day before, as he coughed all night.
 Fitz sent out a message that he was feeling pretty miserable. Both his hands are bandaged. as one knuekle of the right is broken. and the left is much inf1amed Fitz attributes the had condition of his hands to the heavy blows he hit Gardner on the nose and mouth during the fourth round. blows that knocked Gardner down and gave him a wholesome fear of Fitz's punch.
