NEW HAVEN DEFEATS SOUTH
 NORWALK 80 TO 10.

Local Team Gave . Fine Exhibirion of the seIsntine Points of inc Gams-out- played Ihs Visitors in the First Half Special Attractions for Saturday Eyensng Games.
 The eranks who stayed away from the basketball game last night missed one of the finest exhibitions of the sport ever put up by any team in this city. The New Haven boys had as their opponents the South Norwalk qulntette. The Blues started in to rush things from the start and 1t looked for a while as if the visitors would be un- able to score at all. The team work shown by Manager Aufort's team was of the finest kind and their passing was treat to witness and fairly nom Iplussed the South Norwalks, who sel- dom or ever were able to get beyond their own goal line. Their basket throwing was also excellent and show ed a great improvement on previous matches. During the first half of the game New Haven found the basket twenty times while South Norwalk on- ly managed to score two goals. In the second period the New Haven team eased up somewhat to begin with. The visitors took advantage of this op- portunity and by clever work scored several goals.

Indeed the cos tune and makeup are so nlarvelously realistic that when Fred Stone, who plays the part, is first lifted on the stage
 and leaned against the stile very, few
 people in the audience believe that the figure is that of real man. He not I only looks like a rag dummy "a ver- I etable man Of straw-but he so closely commercials the rigidity of dummy
 that nearly all of the spectators in the audience are convinced that this rlanni-
 kin will presently be replaced to the &C., companiment Of some hocus-pocus by
 the real live comedian so essential to
 the play. Thus when Dorothy rubs the
 magic ring bringing the Scarecrow to l life and Stone utters his first speech there is gasp of astonishment all over 1 the theater. , | This is the original New York com-

FOOTBALL.

There was but little science displayed
In the game that was played yesterday
between the Dexters OF Pawtucket and
tho Alumni of the Cranston high school.
The fun for both the visitors and the
spectators was Of a variety unailoyed.
The game was scheduled to commence
at 10:30 but IL was nearly one hour later
that the leader OF the visiting team kick
ed OF. The Pawtucket boys were far
younger than their opponents. but they
played plucky game for all that and
were only beaten by Ave points in 30 min
utes of play. One. OF the most laugh
contest was tho fact that for almost ~
minutes of the play OF the first half there
was no timer. When someone needed a
little rest and called for time II was
found that no one held the watch.
There was scamperlng around for
some one TO officiate. and until one such
could be found those who were winded
OF the onlookers was induced to accept
the honor and the game continued.
IL only took few more minutes OF play
over the line for the first touchdown.
This was done by steady rushes and the
final lunge was made by Wheawil. ths
right halfback OF the team.
Cranston then kicked off TO Pawtucket.
but the latter was unable to gain the
necessary fye yards. and the ball went
TO Cranston. The Pawtucket boys made
n. plucky stand. however, and took the
ball on downs on the four-yard line. They
were unable 10 gain this time either and
lost the ball TO Cranston. which team,
made another touchdown in a couple OF
rushes.
Time was called In another minute and
after n short rest Cranston kicked of.
Players having been laid out with rather
startling frequency, end no substitutes
being available. Cranston played this half
with nine men and Pawtucket with 10.
The superiority in numbers told In favor
OF the Dexters, and they made several
short gains toward the Cranston end OF
the field. The ball was lost on a tumble.
however. and the Cranston boys soon had
IL on Dexters Nre-yard line. At this
point the crowd showed a decided dispo-
sition 10 get into the game themselves.
and In the general mix-up incident on the
next scrimmage ODonnell of the Dex-
ters managed In some unknown manner
10 secure the ball. and before anyone
knew II he was scudding up the field and
lodging through the spectators so fast
that IL was impossible 10 catch him. This
Crapston team claimed that the time
