Pitcher Nichols Is Manager.

Charles Nichols, famous as BOS- toms star pitcher for many years, has practically signed to manage the St Louis National league team this year. Nichols has been a credit to baseball ever since Frank Selee brought him from Kansas City to the Hub nearly fourteen years ago. As q pitcher he was one of the best that ever got in the box, and for that matter he is still able to shoot them sover with some of his oldtiIne skill It is be- lieved that Nichols has cosed deal by which Joe Corbett. the crack Cali fornia pitcher, will also play ball this year with St Louis. although Hanlon of Brooklyn says that he has not as yet waived claim to Corbett's services. Corbett jumped the Brooklyns some time ago and has been on the Pacific coast ever since He is brother of James J.

ENGLISH CLUBS
 TO RAISE PURSES.

Owing to the great popularity of box ing in England at present there is a movement. on foot to increase the size of purses offered by the various fight ing promoters. Some time ago the Ma tional Sporting club of london made a sweeping cut in the purses and the other clubs followed suit. As a eonse- quence the incentives were so small that the winners end was not large enough to cover training expenses In order to make any kind of money pugllist had to depend on an outside wager amounting to three or four fig
 ures. This could not be done without securing the services of q good back CT. and these people are scarce in Eng land just now. The new lease of life which George Dixon has gained since he went abroad has done considerable to boom the sport, and the attendance at all bouts has materially increased. Dixon was the first to start the ball rolling by refusing an offer of $7OO to meet Cockney Cohen, with whom he is matched. A year ago such a sum was considered large and the English pugilists were glad enough to battle for half that amount. Now. however, , they laugh when a purse like that Is hung up. The sports are with Dixon and other well known boxers in their kick, and agree that they have been underpaid. Manager A. F.. Bettfnson of the National Sporting club says that the purses at his club will not be in- creased unless the attraction warrants. As an illustration of what pugilists in England have had to contend with dur ing the year just ended is the fact that a noted American boxer, after fighting twenty hard rounds and losing, re ceived only S10 for his end. AS he had prepared for the mill for at least three weeks he was out of pocket about $1uv on the match.

As was expected the Waterbury High school basketball team was de- feated by the Storrs Agricultural Col lege team at the college gymnasium op Saturday. The score was 46125. The High school team was barly crippled by the absence of Guilfoile, who is suf- fering from blood poisoning, and Lit tleiohn. who was unable to accompany the team The playing of the High school team accordingly lacked that heady individual and consistent team work which have characterized it when the regular players were in the game As it was, however the college bobys were given hard rub.

CRIPPLE CREEK MINERS.
Are Represented in Waterbury by
 Joy Pollard-Ei Eight Hour Day.

In the interests of the striking
 miners of Cripple Creek, Col Joy Pol
 lard, general organizer and representa-. tive of the Western Federation of
 Miners, is travelling through the east
 and is now i'll Waterbury All who wish to sustain the striking miners and help them ill their six years bat tie for an eight-hour day may send their subscriptions to William D. Hay
 wood, secretary and treasurer of the Miners union. in Denver, Col. or give
 been raised through Mir Pollards eff fort. but the fight has been long one
 and d bitter one.
 Mir Pollard's story of the times i'll Cripple Creek differs entirely from that which has been published in the
 newspapers of the east. He says every member of the Miners union Is | ans American and is fighting for his God given rights as an American.
 The eight-hour day for which they are | fighting was first granted by the legis- 1 lature but the capitalists of the state took the matter to the supreme court, which decided it was unconstitutional under. the state charter ThereupOn, at the next session of the legislature the desired amendment was made to
 the charter. But the employing miners of the state would not recognize the law and then began the trouble. The public i'll the east, according to Mir
 Pollard, appear to have the idea that l it was for more pay or shorter hours the miners struck. Mfr Pollard says | it is for a principle, a law passed by l the legislature.
 The blowing up of the depot at Vic tor and the killing of fourteen men who were there at the time, was the work of the detectives employed by the mine owners he says. The mili- i tafy, called out by Governor Peabody, failed to put down the strikers, even
 though burden of $500, ,000. the cost
 of keeping the militia under arms in ] the town. was thrown on the people.
 Governor Peabody is hirelings ana ! everything of that kind, according to
 Mir Pollard, and the people showed their estimation Of him at the recent I election by voting him out of Office.
