 New Britain will be here tonight and that should be one of the best games of the season. New Britain is just leading Waterbury and a win to- night will make a lot of difference in the standing. According to all reports from other places where New Britain has played, and in her games at home, the players on the New Britain team are lot of man-eaters. They go at the game in a rough and tumble man. ner and this coupled with their clev- erness and they are clever, makes the game an exciting one and one that you should not miss. It will be great game for Waterbury to win and win she will, so say the local papeSs-

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.
Trinity Interscholastic League Decides
 the Disputed Game,

the D1SpuIed IaLnG.
 Hartford, Nov 24.--There was meet ing at Trinity college yesterday of the Trinity Interscholastic Football league to take final action on the much dls- cussed and often decided game be tween New Haven and Meriden on No vember 7, which Meriden won. Hart ford high was represented by Robert NJ. Keeney. The game was disputed by New Haven on the ground that only ten minutes of the second half was played, and a protest was also entered by Meriden. Several decisions have been given, the Trinity football cap tain holding that the game should stand and the league reversing this decision at a meeting last week. It was later found that the notice for that meeting of the league was not legal, hence the meeting yesterday.
 The representatives from New Ha- ven, Bridgeport and Hartford voted in ! favor of throwing the game out, whils the Trinity captain and the representa- tives from Meriden and New Britain voted to declare it legal. This made a tie, which was broken by the Trinity managers voting with New Britain and Meriden. This reverses the action of last week and the result is to make legal the game played last Saturday by Meriden and New Britain and confirms New Britain as winner of the league championship. ToTrington's represen- tative was not at the meeting yester- day or the one last week. and 1t is said l that the, reason for his absence is that l he did not receive sufficient notice. A 1 committee was appointed to revise some parts of the constitution, to re port at the regular meeting Of the | league on December 5.

 Glasgow Nov 24.-The Heralds yachting reporter confirms the report that syndicate of Clyde yachtsmen is likely to challenge for the Americas cup next year. It is suggested that Messrs Coates Clark, and Donaldson will head three separate syndicates which will have three yachts designed by Watson. Fife and Mylne. The yachts will be raced throughout the summer and the one that proves the best will be selected as the challenger for 1905.
 so far as he was concerned there was no truth in the report. Mir Donaldson entirely discredited the story of chalA lenge by a Clyde syndicate.

According to the accounts of the bat tie between George Dixon and Pedlar Palmer for the 120-pound championship of England, which took place Novem- Der at Ginnett's circus, Newcastle, the contest was one of the best decided In England in years. The London Sporting Life has this to say of the mill: '"The articles stipulated that the men should box at 120 pounds, but when they weighed out in the after noon Palmer was found to be two pounds in excess of the specified poundage. Dixon lodged all objection at this breach of the conditions, but on the metropolitan depositing ten ner' the Yankee conceded the extra weight. Pedlar Palmer was seconded by Jack Palmer, Newcastle, Spider Carr and Tom Murphy, while Dixon's corner contained Andrew Tokell, Tibbie Watson. the Australian, and Jumper Howe. The popular parts of the house were crowded, and three-fourths of the higher priced seats were appropriated by an enthusiastic audience, but there was no wagering of any importance, offers to take to 1 on Palmer failing to lead to business. Gloves of six ounces in weight were worn, and the contest in the first ten rounds revealed some fine form on the part of Palmer, his leading, feinting and characteristic slipperyness enabling him to run up strong sequence of points. Time and again he delivered the left flush on the American's face without q response. Dixon, however, gradually became more aggressive, and was noteworthy
 for his powerful tactics in playing for the body. The operations of each com
 blatant. however, lacked sting, and.
 though the work at times seemed fast and telling, the use Of big gloves pre- vented any effective results. Dixon became very conspicuous after the tenth round mixing it up in merry
 fashion and assuming a good lead. In the last four rounds, with surprising
 dash and cleverness, he was all over Palmer with both hands. The Lon l doner hugged his adversary persistent ly. and was feeble In guarding the rushes and powerful leading tactics of the famous Yankee, who was awarded 1 the verdict amidst much enthusiasm. Palmer gave a very disappointing per formance, and in addressing the house at the close said: I held the old man too cheaply. and have been we'll beat en- MT Loves announced that a
 sportsman had offered to back Palmer 1 to again box Dixon for e50 or z 100 a l side. but there was no response to. this
 challenge. I. R. SmouIt was referee
 and Jim Gibson timekeeper."

An evidence of the progress of polo in the west this year as a sport, in the correct sense of the term, Is the atti- tude of the metropolitan papers. Last year the game was but imperfectly taken care of. except by the papers of the town where the game was played This year the big papers are giving a considerable amount of their space to the game.

At WallingfOrd.

Wallingford, Nov 24.-WallingTotTI lost again last night before a crowd of $50, to New Britain, 16 to IS. The game did not start until S:45 on ac- count of Vozel, who arrived on the BPS train with the three new players from Massachusetts. The only one that went in was Ewing. one of the crack players from the Bay state The game was the closest seen here yet the score being tied several times. Referee Nottram's eyesight was bad last night, as he allowed both sides to foul several times and the only two called. were on New Britain. The two men who did not play are Chapman and Sullivan, who have been playing in the leagues in Massachusetts. The New Britain team was uniform in playing. all of the players being in the same class and capable of playing foul when the opportunity presented itself. Wallace for the locals did not seem as lively s on other occasions, but held his own. The remainder of the team put up fine game, notably Freder- icks and Vogel, who last night showed how. he could handle. two men and keep them tied up. Tn the first half, Lane went on for Bolton and in the last half Wallace took Fredericks's place and Ewing went on at left guard The lineup: -.. Wallingford Position. New Britain. Bolton.

At New Haven.

New Haven. Nov 24.-Chief among the features of the basketball game between Meriden and New Haven teams was the passing and team work of the Meriden team and the unusu- ally large number of baskets thrown. The visitors won the game by the score Al to 32. It was a NIeriden game from startto finish, although the home team had little the better of the game during the second half The crowd was a fickle, though enthusias- tic one, and at one time was ''roast- ing the visitors and at another the home team.
 New Haven showed a slight inn provement over the kind of game played earlier in the season, but the game last evening served to show up the weak points still remaining. KeO' yer and Gunther. the two new men, were in the field, and they showed up well. The chief weakness was a lack of team work, and an apparent indir ference about getting into close scrim- images. This enabled the visitors abundant opportunity for tries at the basket, and this opportunity was inn proved, since Meriden threw 21 bas- kets to New Haven's seven during the first half
 In the second half, the Meriden teSm let up few minutes, but this was so quickly taken advantage of that they again played the game to the best of their ability. Miller proved the strong man for the home team, es- pecially in throwing baskets, although Doran and Keever made some sensa- tional plays. Miller. however, was rather weak in regard to covering his opponent. The lineup:

 Mrs. Talbot introduced Superintend- enr McDonEold, who addressed the club on The Needs of our Schools, and disclosed some glaring deficiencies. both in the educational system and the means of carrying on the work. It appears that more teachers are re- quiYed. newer and more up-to-date means of ventilation, heating ard lighting; better sanitation and more eff fectivc methoGs of preventing the spread of disease which are carried and communicated by means of the dust which invades the various school build irgs. The most important deficiency, and tNe enc in which all the others take their rise, is the lack of funds. Under existing laws the crowded schools Of Phoenix fare alike with the srarseIy attended country schools in the distribution Of funds. All save the Union High school, are "deestrick schools Mir. McDonnold urges that mercy raised by taxing city prop erty be used in the city schools.

CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY
An Organization That is Doing Mag
 'nifcent Work.

The work of the Children's Home So- ciety. headquarters in Los Angeles, is something the value of which few peO- pie in Arizona appreciate because few are familiar with it. But for this society. however, the work would long ago have been forced on the attention Of the public generally. Some facts learned from A II. Garnette. who is now visiting Phoenix in the interest of the society, are interesting.
 The mission of the organization is to receive and find homes for all orphan children in Arizona and California and to aid those who desire to adopt chil- dren who have no homes in finding the sort of a boy or girl wanted. The so- ciety conducts no institution or or phanage, believing there is no efficient substitution for family life in the edu cation of the race" It takes the chill dren who have no protectors and as soon as possible places them in famil- ies where they will be guaranteed an education, good moral influences and church privileges, on trial. If satisfac- tory both to the family and the child a legal adoption follows. If not the child is tried in another family. In this way during the nine years of the society's existence over $50 children have been cared for and at the present time there are less than q dozen not yet provided with good homes.
 It might be imagined by some that as the society was organized in Cali fornia, Arizona should have but little interest in it. But exactly the con trary is true for during that time &i Arizcna children have been provided for and the society stands ready at all times to accept and care for any child offered.
 The society. though conducted under Christian influences is absolutely non
Arizona republican., 1903-02-20

sectarian and it takes children from families of all faiths and places them in families of all faiths. All that is de-
 manded is the practical care of the child and the guarantee that at the proper age it shall have any church privileges it may wish. It has been found that the average expense of talk ing care of a child till q home can be found for it is about fifty dollars This money is raised entirely through the charity of an appreciative public. AS Mr. Garnette said Our bank account Is faith in the people," And fortunate ly, thus far, a | the end of each years work the books have been balanced and all debts paid. M money is vast ed. of course, and there is TO expensive institution to keep going and the gen. erously inclined have always provided for the needs of the homeless knowing that every dollar would be legitimately spent This however is not intended to imply that the society has more money than it knows what to do with which Is rot the case and one of the principal duties of it's representatives is to make known to all friends that those Who wish to help along the work can aid materially by donating sucf:
Arizona republican., 1903-02-20

sums as they may feel able whether it be ten cents CT a thousand dollars. Presumably the more funds collected the more work can be done; more rep resentatives will be placed in the field seeking out more children who need their help, for while Sl little Arizona boys and girls have been made happy there are doubtless many others who need caring for.
 Just what this work means for the people of Arizona in general can best be illustrated by figures. The care. of these St children has cost approximate ly s4,2O0. donated by liberal hearted people in the southwest. Had there been no society it is probable that be- lore this time state institution would have become inpera tive and what that would have cost, during the last nine years, compared to S4,200 can we'll be imagined by any who have watched the expense bills for maintaining public institutions. And none will deny that a good home for child in a good family is far preferable to life in an orphanage The only conclusion is that every dollar donated to this most worthy enterprise is q dollar loaned to the Lord

TORTljRINc
 DISFICURINC Skin, Scalp and Blood
 Hum0urs Speedily Cured by CutIGura Soap, Ointment and Pills When the Best Physicians and
 Ali Else Fail.

The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful sealing, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled head; the facial disfigurements, as in pimples and ringwOrm; the awful suf- fering of infants, and anxiety of wOrn- out parents, as in milk crust, letter and salt rheum,- all demand a remedy of almost sUperhuman virtues to success fully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evi- dencc. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy have made them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world.
 Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales, and soften the thickencd cuticlc. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint- ment freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soOthe and heal, and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood. This complete treatment, costing but one dollar, affords instant relief, per- mits rest and sleep in the severcst forms of eczema and other itching, burning and scaly humours of the skin, scalp and blood, and points to a speedy, permanent and economical cure when all other remedies and the best physi- clans fail.
