Rain Prevented All Games in
 Connecticut League

 Opposing Teams-Other Base Ball
 News.
 Rain prevented all games in the Con- necticut league yesterday. This is the first time there have been any post ponements since the opening date' when 1t rained in Springfield. Hartford was billed to play in Meriden yester- day and of course the team did not have ,an opportunity to improve it's standing in the race. Hartford will play in Springfield to-day and as Reil- ly's men have bad two days of rest they will probably make a runaway game of it. Springfield is dissatis- lied with its present team because 1t did not hold the lead. Joe Connor has been in Hoboken after players and ac- cording to the Springfield papers he was after Pete Kdernan, who has been playing as long as Roger Connor. The baseball management up there will be securing some of the Old Peoples Homes next. The Springfield Union is howiing for Roger to carry four pitchers, but as Roger had to buy an- other pair of glasses after he was tripped up by Hardesty he will prob ably feel like not putting out any more money. It is due to Hardesty to say that he never attempted any dirty playing while he was member of the Hartford team. Rube Vickers is sched- uled to pitch for Holyoke in the game at New Haven tomorrow. Rube ought to make short work of the two spots Tuckey reached the end of his rope Saturday and the twospots have very weak line of boxmen. Gloomy Gus Fricken has quietly disappeared from the hmelight and he will not be heard from again. There is apt to be rouble if Kennedy comes here again. Springfield has two men batting over 300, and Holyoke has seven, two of the latter batting over .400.-Hartford Courant.

Ann Arbor, that the innovation was tried in the west. The last half of this match has just been finished at Chi cago. It is not many years ago that golf was an unheard-of sport among western universities, but the gradual spread of the game among the prepar- atory schools has tended to bring 1t more and more into collegiate life.
 The annual conference meet among the western colleges, recently held at Chicago, was won by the boys from Ann Arbor and furnished some excit- ing sport for the "rooters." The vic- tory gives Michigan permanent posses sion of the famous Spalding trophy, thus realizing long cherished hope, as the college has now been victorious for the third successive time. The meet proved the closest in years, Mich igan scoring 49 points to Chicago's 40. Wisconsin finishing 8 poor third with but ten points. In the east Yale won the intercollegiate championship cup in most exciting meet by half point from Harvard. The result of the meet was in doubt until the running of the last event, which was the 22o-yard dash, and the finish was so close that the crimson have g filed a protest against the decision of the judges.
 In the lawn tennis field the pros- poets are very bright for a successful season, and the list of tournaments that will be held throughout the coun- try is large. In the western intercol- legiate tournament, recently held at Chicago, Michigan was victorious in both the singles and doubles, St. John, of Michigan, forfeiting the singles to Danforth, of Michigan, who was cham pion last year St. John and Lee, of Michigan, won the doubles from the Wisconsin pair, Morley and Garnett.
 BASEBALL.
 College baseball in the west is about over for the present season and the University of Illinois team has again been returned the winner. The univer- sity has always turned out fast team, one that has been able to hold their own with the best college teams in the east, which fact was demonstrated when the team trimmed both the Har- yard and Pennsylvania nSnes g year or z bWO dSO.
 The franchise of the Anderson, Ind.. baseball team in the Central league has been transferred to Grand Rapids, Mich.
 It is reported that "Rube" Waddell, the eccentric and star pitcher of the Philadelphia Athletics, will tired be- hind the footlights next season, ap- bearing in the melodrama, "The Stain of Guilt" Just what position he will play in the production is not yet known.
 Prof. Joseph J. Thomson, of Cam bridge college, England, recently gave the following explanation of curved pitched ball: "nrhe ball follows it's. nose, so to speak. lift leaves the pitch CTS hand revolving downward on horizontal axis, it is bound to drop. If 1t leaves revolving upward on a hori- zontal axis, it follows its nose and rises. When the ball travels on yer. tical axis, with an inward revolution, the inshoot is caused. The outdrop is the result of the balls travelling on a s1anting axis, with an outward revolu- tion, and so on. The axis and revoIu- tions are determined by the manner of the spheres leaving the pitchers hand, and there you are.

OKLAHOMA KNOCKING
At THE DOOR OF
STATEHOOD
Governor Presents Ter
ritory's Claims.
HAS BRAINS and MONEY

Washington, Nov. 22.-The gov
ernor of Oklahoma, in his annual re-
port, just received by the secretary OF
the interior, declares that his territory
Is not only entitled to statehood but
that is entitled to 1t now. In signing
its claims he says among other things:
"There are In the territory 100000
intelligent American citizens who are
deprived of the right of self govern
ment. A conservative estimate OF the
wealth of Oklahoma places it at $780,
100000. There are seven educational
institutions of higher learning under
the control of the territory, besides
numerous high schools and colleges un-
der the control of religious denomina-
tions Our people are In every re-
spect entitled to that which Is dear to
the heart of every progressive Ameri-
can-the right to govern themselves" ,"
he declares.
Against this proposition there can
be no logical objection. Oklahoma has
the intellect, the wealth, the normal
force, the energy, the natural resources
the development already achieved, and
the promise of splendid future suffi-
cient to justly entitle her to careful
consideration and congressional action.
No logical reason can be urged against
her early admission into the sisterhood
of states"

SITUATION CRITICAL
Governor Wells of Utah Responds to
Sheriff's Call for Troops.


Sheriff's Call for Troops.
Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 22.-The situ-
alton in the big coal camp of Carbon
county has become extremely critical,
so much so that the sheriff and county
attorney shortly after midnight this
morning, wired Governor Wells setting
forth the fact that the sheriff is un-
able to protect life and property and
having exhausted all resources calls
upon the chief executive of Utah for
soldiers to aid him.
Governor Wells replied to the sher-
iff stating that he would send General
Channon, who is in command of the
national guard of Utah to Castle Gate
tomorrow morning to investigate the
conditions and report upon the neces-
sity of ordering out the soldiers. There
is little doubt that the militia will be
ordered out.

ASPHYX|ATED
Woman Rendered Un-
conscious by Gas
Fumes.

Cropping blindly in the hallway Of the
Hartzell flats, 212 West Ninth street,
neighbors found Mrs. Claude Ellison
overcome by burnt gas fumes about 4
o'clock Friday afternoon. Before her
husband, who was summoned, could ar
rive home she had become unconscious
1t took several hours of diligent eff
forts on the part of physicians to res
| tore the woman to consciousness.
The obstruction of fiue by bricks
which had fallen into it during a re-
cent storm is responsible for the fail
ure of the fumes to flow out through
their proper channel. Instead of pass
ing out of the chimney they were uriv-
en- back through a CRATE into the din
ing room, where Mrs. Ellison was seat
ed
Becoming suddenly drowsy and nau-
seated, Mrs. Ellison called to her
daughter, Zelma, aged 6 years, who
was in the front room to inform. the
neighbors upstairs that she was i'll.
When assistance arrived the woman
had wandered from the dining room to
the outer hallway. DR.. H. w. Faulk,
who was passing at the time, was call
ed in.
At s o'clock Friday evening Mrs Eli
son wcs reported out of danger. The
child was but slightly i'll, the fumes
not having penetrated to the front part
of the apartments.
