A Relative of J. Ps Morgan Pays
 Novel Football Bet.
 George Green Coolidge, member of the class of 1904, Sheffield Scientific school, Yale university, who halls from cousin of J. ,Pierpont Morgan, is a wealthy business man, recently took out license at police headquarters to buy, sell and peddle junk, rags and old bottles in pushcart, says New Ha- ven special dispatch to the New York World. Coolidge, who refused to state his reasons, also took out a bootblack's license for his friend and classmate, E. B. Johnson, IT,, also of East Orange.
 Coolidge was not at the fashionable St. Elmo clubhouse when a reporter called. Johnson declared that he knew nothing about the boorblack's license. He said that he and Coolidge had a wager on the Harvard-Yale football game, Coolidge betting that Harvard would score. If she did not he agreed to purchase pushcart license at cost of $2. #
 Coolidge evidently intended to turn the joke on me by getting me license to black boots," declared Johnson. Re ally you don't believe a cousin of J. Pierpont Morgan is going to peddIe junk, do you? It's simply bet.''
 But the fun of the joke is that the holder of junk license under the law must make weekly report to police headquarters Of all his purchases and business, whether he does any or not. The prospect of making weekly trip to police headquarters Is more than Coolidge bargajned for.
 Don't forget to say that Coolidge is a strong candidate for best dressed man of the class" said one of his club mates to the reporter at the St. Elmc club. Don't fail to mention that he is the only man who ever took four girls to the Yale junior promenade.''
 Chief of Police Wrinn of New Haven was asked if Coolidge would be com pelled to make a report to his office of all his dealings in junk and secondhand articles. Certainly, yes," was the re- ply. "This young man has seen fit to launch out as a junk dealer. Why should we bend the law to suit his pur- pose? We shall require strict ac- counting of all business done.''
 When Coolidge heard of this he was so worked up that he paid a visit to Chief Wrinn at police headquarters and asked to have his license revoked.
 'No, sir,' promptly declared the chief. That license was issued for one year, sir. You fellows can't make a monkey of me. You may come here weekly and report until further notice.''
 A twinkle in the eye of the chief leads to the belief that he will not be as strict in the enforcement of the law as appears.

ON THB GRIDIRON.
Strange Happenings in the Trinity As-
 sociation,


 The Trinity Athletic association faces serious proposition and all it's decisions and changes with regard to the championship of the Trinity league may have gone to naught.
 It is the eoncensus of opinion that the Trinity officials have been alternat- ing their decisions in favor of the New Haven and Meriden teams as appeared to them most likely to be successful in keeping the league intact and incl dentally bringing in about $500 to the athletic association.
 The trouble began shortly after the eventful and much haggled-overr New Haven Meriden high school football game at Meriden. November '.
 After New Haven's protest, the SiI- yer City contingent was bound it would not play the game over whether or not it was right. So the men ar- ranged with the New Britain people to play the game with Meriden, "As fixed by schedule" according to one Of the Meriden players.
 The game was played at New Brit ain. Meriden losing. Some $500 was taken in at the game and, in view of the fact that the New Haven school had possession of the cup and the ban her, the New Britain people refuse to give Trinity the money from the game until they get the cup.
 As the New Haven team was unjust ly decided against and the matter made arbitrary, right not counting, as all the members admit. the New Ha- ven school intends to keep the cup, it is said. This, according to a Meriden player, is just what Meriden and New Britain wish for If the latter does not get the cup 1t will keep the gate receipts from the game with Merfden, half going to the Meriden association.
 So the Trinity league stands good chance of losing $500 and silver lov- ing cup which it offered to the cham pion for certain number of years. :
 When all the teams quit the league, as 1t is said they intend to Go, it ap- pears that the New Britain and Meri- den schools will have $250 apiece, the New Haven school a silver cup and silk banner. the other members of the league nothing. and the Trinity asso- citation an unenviable reputation.

 Owing to the disagreement in the American basketball league, Walling- ford has dropped out. Some days ago the South Norwalk team, which was owned by William Lush, the manager of the Bridgeport team, with MT Hoyt of that place, announced that they would surrender their fran chise. It was agreed last Monday, however, that the weeks schedule should be carried out. Wallingford, which has won but one game this sea- son, after a disappointment in not playing New Haven Thanksgiving day. decided to throw up the sponge and quit
 4 meeting of the league was held at Meriden yesterday and the Wallingford notice was received. Informal appli- cations for membership in the league were received from New London and Mystic. But to admit these teams would mean the lengthening of the circuit and additional expense for car fare so the arrangement will be for six clubs to continue the circuit and fight for the ehampiorship These six are Meriden. Hartford. New Ha ven, Bridgeport. Waterbury and New Britain. There is some talk of trans ferring the Hartford team to Bristol.

Gardner Did Not Possess Game
 ness to Win a Victory.

Bezenah Won But Did Not Get the
 Deciston--Tom Carey Wins a Battle
 in Short Order-Bob Eftzsimmons Ill
 in Bed.
 After all is said about the Fitzsim- mons-Gardner fight, the last word is: Had Gardner been a game man he would have won. While Fitz's hands were good, in the early rounds, he hurt Gardner. After that the Lowell boy had the fear of those Wauops in his heart, and this fear kept him so far away from more of them that he dared not come in to land a good solid punch of his own on the disabled and fast tiring 'old man." Nor had he the keen knowledge of the game that would have taught him, by Fitz's actions, that his opponent was in distress and unable to do serious damage. It is too much to say that Gardner quit, but he made a half hearted, retiring fight that lost with the dogged grit that made win ner of little Frank Erne, when the tearing black, Joe Cans, was cutting him to pieces, he would have retained his title of light heavyweight cham pion. Erne took terrible beating from Cans round after round, the while he never budged the black, but the white boy, with his heart always strong. stuck, and in the end made the black quit. It is such gameness as that which turns defeat into victory. Gardner does not possess it.
