He played in 143 games, going to the bat o39 times and making 1855 hits.
 There is a big gap between Eeeler and Harry Davis of Philadelphia, who stands tied with Holmes or Cnlcago with sos. In all, there are eight play CTS who batted 300 or better as against nine in the batting averages of the National league, the leader of which was Hans Wagner of Pittsburg, with .349.

was yEAY SUCCESSFUL.
The Crosby high School Football
 Aeason lNsa Cosaa.

The football season which has just ended has been very successful one for the team representing th7 Crosby High school. As the team had no team during the season of 1903 the probabilities for one during the past season were not of the brightest. Nev- ertheless manager and captain were elected and the team was started.
 The first game played was with the Bridgeport High school in Bridge port, Oct. 5, and the score was a tie, 0 to 0. This encouraged the local boys who had been practicing only a week while their opponents had been out for two weeks or more and were considered strong.
 The following Saturday, Oct. 8, the local team went to Torrington, and defeated the high school team of that town by the score of Il to 0.
 The Crosby boys next went to Eaugatuck, Oct. 21, and easily de. Eeated the team of the Naugatuck High school by the score of IT to 0.
 Oct. % the local bows went to Meri- den and suffered their only defeat of the season by the score of 6 to E. AL though Meriden outweighed her op- ponentyet it was only after hard fought struggle that she won.
 The final game of the season was played November 5, in Winsted, with the Gilbert school. Again Waterbury was victorious to the tune of II to o.
 As the team had not q suitable place for home games and because it was doubtful of the way it would be SUD- ported it did not enter into any leauge
 Much credit for the success of the team should be given to Dr Herr and Captain George McDonnll. The former was present at the field alm0st every afternoon and from a collection of green material he brought forth a team which was almost if not the euunl of any high school team in the state. He was ahlv assisted hv the eantain. Manager Edward NTcDonald and assistant Manager Charles Everitt also worked hard for the welfare of the team.
 One sad feature of athletics at the high school is the lack of finances The teams representing the school have to depend almost wholly unon the business men for their support Tt is honed that in the future that this evil will be remedied and that the athletics of the Crosby High school will soon he on a par with any school in the state.

After about minute of fighting Tn the second round Cote went to the floor, but immediately arose to a 'leap.frog'' position with hands and feet, but not knees, on the floor. While in this posi- tion Connolly hit him twice with light uppercuts. Cote and his seconds im- mediately began to yell foul, and one of the latter jumped into the ring and began to punch Connolly. Tn Q mo, ment the ring was full of men fighting with fists, canes and umbrellas. Five policemen Jumped into the ring, ana for few moments the rough house was complete.

 NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The six day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden has settled down to steady grind, 2 series of sprints and loops and vain at tempts of the riders to steal a lap by a trick. for all efforts depending in mere Gpeed have been fruitless.
 About twenty miles an hour are be- Ing reeled off by the racers, who have not yet begun to feel physically the eff fects of the grind.
 So far the riders have been particu. Iarly fortunate as to injury, and except for Keegan. laid up early in the day with broken nose, none arc the worse off for their tumbles. Hooper and Gala we'll, one of the four teams to lose a lap in the morning record breaking sprint, are making terrific efforts to make up the lost ground and they ap- parently have a chance to do so.
 A few minutes before 10 o'clock the first heat, at half mil ,, in a series of races, to be heiSs between t'rank l<ra- lner anJ Er.ii.e Krlol, the French champion, was run. Kramer won by two lengths. The time was l minute 14 4-5 seconds.

Dec 6.--Kid Pantz of this city was awarded the decision over George Phelan of Portland, Me, when the 1atter's seconds threw up the sponge in the middle of the fourth round at the Cambridge A. c. last night. Phelan showed up In wretched condition. Tn the first two rounds he Outclassed Pantz two to one. Pantz rough-housed him in the third, anu three times Phelan slipped to the mat from sheer exhaustion. He came out Of his corner in the fourth very tired, aud in less than a minute was at the mercy of Pantz. He was not badly punished, but was in too weak condi- tion to continue, so his seconds stopped the bout.

PLAN TO EXCHANGE BABIES
Clearing House by Which Different
Nationalities Are Traded.

clearinghouse by Which Different
NationaIities Arc Traded.
One of the curious things run across
in Europe is the scheme of French
man named Michael Breal, preached as
long ago as 1886, and which Is being
again taken up.
1t consists of wholesale exchange,
a swapping of children from one fam
lily to another.
Here is a Partisan father in modest
estate, with q son. This man has an
ambition that his child shall have a
thorough knowledge of German. The
proper thing would be to place the
child in some German family for a
while. But the difficulty for the father
is to discover just the right sort of
family-one who would receive the
child. and, above all, one who had a
child to swap. The Partisan father
would be spending no extra money in
housing the German child and teach
ing it French, while his own was eat
ing at a German table. Meanwhile
two nations were understanding each
other better. 1t was a splendid scheme,
If only it could be carried out.
What was needed was a baby bro
ker, as it were, an exchange, clear
ing house for children, an agency to
keep tab of families willing to swap
children and to engineer the swap. A
man named Toni Matthew saw the
chance, and improved it during the va
cation period last year. He had pre-
JUDGES to overcome. After a deal Of
letter writing he won the indispensa-
bic, not to say inevitable, sanction of
college professors, of great authors.
prominent lawyers and members OF
Parliament. He even succeeded in
placing an order for five children on
trial. He devoted a whole year to
booming the enterprise. And it was
Misunderstanding work. He would win
the approval of a lot of English or
German or Scandinavian families, only
to find in his own land no readiness to
trade. And yet, in spite of every
thing, he has succeeded in measure
The scheme Is working and Mr. Ma
thieu has decided to found society
and push the idea for all it is worth.
An elaborate system of correspond
ence has been drawn up already. There
is precautionary exchange of photo
graphs first and severe cross-exam-
ination of all concerned. The closing
details of the railroad journey, under
suitable escorts in the case Of girls,
are easily looked after by the ex-
change.
