CROSBY vs SPRINGFIELD.

The Crosby High School Basketball team will probably have the hardest game of the year to play tomorrow when they line up against the crack aggregation from Springfield HiglF school. The latter team comes here direct from it's great victory over Northampton last Saturday. Captain Cunliffe of the Massachusetts five tod a Waterbury man in Springfield the other day, that this years i've was the strongest that ever represented that town. Of course their is great interest manifested in the game, not only by the large alumni of the school and the followers of the game, but in the fac tories as well, where many tickets have been sold. The local high school boys have trained faithfully for this contest, not only do they desire to take the visitors into camp, but they wish to show their appreciation of the support given thefr team by their friends. Cunliffe is the star of the Springfield quintet and is wonderful man on the floor. Patrons of the game should watch his work we'll. as he is scheduled for a Harvard five of the future. For Waterbury Captain Jo-' seph Guilfoile of this years baseball 1OOIDd11 1CSlOS LAC- IOCcE boys in playing and in headwork. He has had much to contend with, but fourteen men have practiced faithfully and the team has been able to win the three intercholastic games it has play ed. Beach and George Tompkins are fine forwards, Usoskin and, Tompkins though not as steady as other high school guards have been, are good workers and watch their men, while Ryan, Schlegel and Morse have de yeloped into brilliant players, and Fitzgerald is one of the headiest guards Of the squad. Watrous has developed into good center, but is not consistent in his playing. Or late Eyeretts has played star game against him in practice and the battle is a royal one. Stahl and De I4igouri, with Larkin, have lost much practice and are not playing as fast a game as they are capable of For preliminary game the Films of New Haven will play the Ramblers.

Jeffries, who was here last week playing ''Dayy Crockett at the head of his own conn pany. announced that he would try to sign Jack Munroe to join bis show and box three rounds with him nightly.

GEORGE VAN HALTREN.

George Van Haltren, one of the most popular players who ever wore d New York baseball uniform, has just wound up a successful campaign in the strong pacific Coast league, in which his batting average was PIP. Van Haltren. fielded brilliantly and ran the bases with as much speed and dash as in the good old days when he was one of the star run getters i'll the National league. Probably no player ever took better care of himself than this remarkable veteran. He first came in prominence as left handed pitcher in California and was signed by Anson for the Chicagos in 1887, when Van was 21l years old. From that time on Van Haltren was always in evidence and might have been play. ing here yet if he had not had leg broken during game in 1908.

helped considerably in the sestablish- ing of new marks. Easily the most wonderful performances of the year, however, were the truly remarkable performances of Alfred Shrubb the noted English distance runner. It is claimed that Shrubb is the greatest distance runner that the world has ever seen. He is member of the South London harriers Shrubb is practically novice at the game, ac- cording to the English standards. He took part in his first race in the four mile English championship ir 1900. He finished third, but since then has competed in score of races frcm one mile to ten, and has never since been defeated. He is the holder of nation al and Southern, cross-country cham
 pionships, having won those titles every year. for the past four years; is four-time A. A. A. champion for four and ten miles; is holder of the inter- national country championship, one-nile A. A.. A championship, and also the Sussex championship In the early portion of last July Shrubh broke ten amateur records for from one to ten miles, and also lowered two pro- fessional marks. Tn the two-nfle handicap he ran the distance m 9:09 3-5, which broke his own record of 9:17. This also broke the professional record of 9:1115 held by Bill Lang, made in 1863. shrubb also broke a number of records for intermediate distances during his two-mile journey. The next day he tackled the four-miIe run. Shrubb broke number of rec ords in this event also, his. time for the entire distance being 1923 2-5. Shrubb also won a special ive-mile race in the astonishing time of 24: 8 2-5, breaking every record for that distance. Shrubb also dispiaced a number of other marks, It is predict ed that # shrubb. runs in the form next year that he has been displaying this season, that he will eventually hold every record from one mile to ten.

sIELOFF- DEFEATS COFFEY

Otto Sieloff of Chicago, who few years ago was rated as one of the best sIightweights in the west, showed some thing like his old form i'll asten-roun0 bout with Charles >Coffey Of Brooklyn before the Detroit A. C.. Detroit, Mich. last Tuesday night Coffey was sup posed to be tough customer, but the way that Sieloff reached him belied this impression. The only favorable thing that can be said about Coffey is that he is game. For two rounds he made SieIoff hustle. Tn the first round he landed heavy left hook on Sic loff's jaw, near{y putting the Chicago man out of the hunt In the second he did a lot of rushing, landing sey, eral hard jabs on his rivals stomach, and Sieloh was forced to clinch. But from this round to the finish Sielofl had matters all his own way. He pounded Cofey on the head and on the jaw having him groggy repeatedly
 Coffey showed wonderful capacity for taking punishment. At the finish Cof- fey was pretty much cut up. Sielofr was declared the victor on points

Charley Mitchell Speaks HI of Young Corbett- -Seve- ral More Good Battles .Ieffries and NunrOe.

Charley Mitchell. in letter to Jabez White, who intends to come over here seeking a fight with James Britt. has some interesting things to say of American fighters. The letter, which is printed in the London Sportsman, is as follows:
 can just realize your feelings at the result of the Corbett and Nelson go. 1t is just what l predicted, but that does not help matters. 1t would have been fine for you, and you would have made barrel of money and never had to fight again. No one feels worse than do, but he (Corbett) sidestepped you was there with the money, but he had already made a match with Nelson. He then signed with you, and ! put in clause providing he beat Nelson; but you would have had to wait again, as I told you in my last they had prearranged for he and Britt, so I'm glad they got it in the neck. You can stand on what I'm telling you. If you had l &an on the scene it would have made no difference as they would have shut you out. l shall ar- range for you to meet the winner of the Britt and Nelson go,e and that will mean Nelson certain. and he is only q good rough. As I said before. there are at least twelve men here all in a bunch, and they will beat each other. As regards Corbett, he Is a dead cock In pit not worth mentioning. He would not draw cab fare now. I feel sore and yet pleased that he got it for doubling on you. I'm feeling first rate and expect to sail for Englanc shortly, and will stop at Birmingham and tell you everything. I will settle match with Nelson or Britt before sail ing.''

 PRIZE FIGHT NEAR NEW HAVEN.
 Before a crowd of twenty five, per, sons. mostly friends of the boxers, Bob Costigan of New HavenS and Peter ATunroe of Hartford met to a finish ill private at Eyestyille Conn, last Tues day night. The men met for side bet of $200. While the fight lasted it was a struggle worth going miles to see. But it ended in a row after the rivals had gone ten rounds. MuDroe punished Costigan badly for seven rounds. After that he became winded and Costigan rushed him all over the ring. Four times in the next three rounds Munroe was fioored and his chances of winning were very poor. Tn the eleventh round James NJ SheF- ". the referee, called an uppercut de- livered on Munroe's jaw foul. This decision reused Costigan's friends and a riot ensued Soon both sides got into a tangle and there was considerable doing before order was restored The referee called of all bets, and the back CTS of the men refused to go on with the bout 1t is likely that the pair will meet again in the near future.
