FRANK BERGEN READY.
| his Honey Is Up And His Feet Are Not Cold.

Manager Frank Bergin of the Wash. ington Hill base ball team was caller at the Democrat office to-day and left the following communication:
 T see by the Waterbury American, in it's issue of Tuesday, October. A. that some person, who does not know what he is talking about, says that had no reason for postponing tho Washing ton Hil-Merrinac game arranged for last Sunday, and refers to me as hay, ing cold feet. In reply would say
 that when Manager Hayes of the Mer, rimac team called at my home on last Friday night to make arrangements for ethe game I told him yes, for fun or
 money But after the arrangements
 had been made representatives of the
 Acorn club told me that the same Mir
 Hayes was to let them know Thursday night if he was going to have a game for Sunday. He did not give them any word and they went ahead and made arrangements for a game between the Acorns and the Merrimac Juniors.
 Later the Acorn representatives called on me and told me that they had had their tickets printed for the Sunday game. I did not like to infringe upon them and decided to call the game off. Now, In regard to cold feet, I have had q forfeit of $10 posted at the Dem- Eocrat office for the past two weeks to | play any City Amateur league team in | the city for any amount of money. The | forfeit has not yet been covered and
 is still at the office. In the face of l these facts I would like to know who has the cold feet"

THE YANKEE HORSE.

New England puts its stamp upon horses, even more than upon men, and it is probably the best place in the world to raise them. The one thing that cannot be expected to pro- duce in the equine line is size. Large horses will, of course, be grown now and again in New England, but 1t is doubtful if any family or breed of large horses could ever be established there. The tendency of the climate, unless enumerated by such warm stabling and blanketing as would i'm pair stamina, is to produce a small compact animal. Horses yield with astonishing quickness to the influence of climate, soil and treatment. The foals of plains horses, when taken east and stabbed grow up much taller than their sires and dams. A horse foaled In Australia, the sire and dam having been imported from England, can be distinguished at glance from one foaled in England. Moreover, 1t is easy to reduce the size of horses, because they were originally no big ger than large dogs, and it is only by long-continued efforts that their size has been increased. Tn the seven teenth century pony fourteen hands high was considered rather tall horse. Tn 1868 the legislature of Massachusetts passed an act providing that entire horses under fourteen hands should not be permitted to run at large in pastures or common lands. It Is reckoned that the average size of the English thoroughbred has in creased whole hand -four inches) in the last century.
 The bracing atmosphere, the long, cold winters, the deep snows of north ern New England contribute to pro- duce a small, tough, hardy, muscular animal, with an abundance of nerv- ous energy-the Morgan horse. More over, the early Morgans shared the privations and labors of pioneer community. They belonged to poor men who were carving farms out of the primeval forest; and consequently they worked hard, were roughly sta bied. and received small grooming or blanketing. These seventies tended to make the little horses tough and strong; and, in addition, they were ! nourished on such hay and grain as only primeval soil will produce. There are no oats like those which sprout among the huge roots and blackened stumps of land but lately cleared; there are no: pastures like those noun tain slopes upon which the plough share has never run. It is a question worth considering, whether some part of the strength and fecundity for which the early settlers of New Eng land are noted should not be ascribed to the fact that they drew their sus- tenance from virgin soil. Tn a eli mate like that of Kentucky, the Mor- gans would still have been good horses, but they would have been good in somewhat different way. They would have been larger, and probably faster at the trot and at the gallop; they might have had longer necks and a general appearance of greater breeding. But they. would not have possessed quite the snap, the vim, the dash and style for which they are famous, nor would they have
 walked so fast or stepped so high Outing.

DAILY GOT DECISION.

Baltimore, Oct 6.-Tommy Daily was given the decision over Kid Williams after ten rounds of fast fighting before the Eureka Athletic club last night. Williams had a slight advantage in height and reach, but Daly overcame these by his cleverness and aggressive ness. It was vigorous from start to finish, and while Daily forced most of the lighting, Williams met the attack with right and left jabs and threw in occasional uppercuts which landed with telling effect Within twenty seconds of the beginning of the first round Daly swung wild right, which put Williams on his knees, but the Philadelphia boy was right LID and mixed 1t to the gong. Daly persisted in swinging his right for quick knockout, but failed to land, while Williams relied upon wild uppercuts which missed oftener than they count ed. In the eighth round both drew blood, Williams cutting Daily under the left eye with right jab, whereupon Daly immediately retaliated by cut ting Williams's left eyebrow with a right swing. The ninth round saw more fierce slugging, and Daly put Williams down with left to the jaw just as the gong sounded. Williams was Up and began the last round with rush. It was give and take, with Daly shade ahead. Both were slug ging on the gong. Some of the specta. tosr thought Williams should have got ten a draw

SOLDIERS SHOOT MORE
 AND DANCE LESS

The victory of the New York militia rife team over teams of the regular army and navy in the national match at Fort Riley, Kansas, ought to give and no doubt will give the encourage ment needed by American militia or ganizations to raise the average stand. ard of marksmanship. 1t proves what can be accomplished with only little but faithful and regular practice; and 1t establishes beyond possible question the utility of the state rife ranges concerning which there has been such an amount of wrangling. Every state in the Union should have its range and every regiment of the National Guard should by state law take it's practice, or be mustered out of service. Militia unqualified in marksmanship is worse than useless for serious work; Ameri- ca, which on occasions must rely so largely upon its volunteer soldiers, cannot afford to countenance sham in it's state troops. In the match Ut Fort Riley the number of points possible for each team to make was 5000; the scores made were as follows:
 | New York, 4,332; navy. 4,294; army infantry. 4,25O; army cavalry, 4,15S; marine corps, 4,O7S; District of Colum- bia, 3,9o4; Pennsylvania, 3,9S3; Rhode Island, 3,977; Massachusetts, 3,95O; New Jersey, 3,sO7; Washington, STAG; Maryland, 3,723; Georgia, 3,631; Con, necticut, 3,614; Iowa, 3,524; Florida, B. 357; Michigan, 3,15S; Kansas, 2,6S5; Alabama, 2,17S.
 These scores, although creditable in the case of the leaders, show unmis- takably how much practice is needed; as does also representation from only | fourteen states emphasize the indiffer. ence of American militia to this vital part of their duty. When the great states of Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, h. diana, California, send no teams to so l important a match it is time for the people of those states to look into the spirit of their citizen soldiery.

THE DIAMOND.
NO CHANGE IN
 THE STANDING
Scores of the Games Played in By Leagues Yesterday Manager of the Giants Flatly Declines to Play.

New York, Oct 6.-All chances of a series between the Giants and the American league winners, if there ever were any chances, were dashed yesterday by Manager John J. Nc Graw, who has taken the responsibdl- I3ty of ignoring the sportsmanlike achal- lenge of the American league.
 Entirely ignoring the almost unani- nous osinion of the baseball public that the Giants should play either Bos- ton or the Highlanders for the honors won last year by the Boston team, McGraw was quoted yesterday as say ing that he had received no challenge from the New York Americans for 6 series, save thro dgh the newspapers. and that if he received such q chai- Ienge he would not answer 1t.
 McGraw added that there would be no post-season series so long as he had control of the Giants until such a ser- ies Is specifically provided for by inter- league agreement, with rules and safe guards.
 McGraw, by insinuation, ranges him. self alongside of President Hart of the Chicago Nationals, who refused to allow his team to play the White Sox .this fall and hinted at dishonesty" ]" .s the Americans did not lose a series last year, Hart's allusion can only re- fer to National league players.
 So far as the games between Boston and Pittsburg are concerned, they were cleanly played without a word of protest from any of the losers. There was only one kick made against the umpiring and that was hy Ferris of the Bostons, who objected to a decis- ion made by Umpire Connolly of the American league staff. Ferris was squelched by Jimmy Collins and apol- ogized to Connolly.

Manchester, Mass, Oct 6.-The pre-. liminary round in the state golf cham picnship having been completed yes terday, the twelve survivors, together with the twenty who by drawing byes were not compelled to play on the first day. began the first round of the championship to-day on the links of the Essex County club. Among those scheduled to play to-day was the pres ent champion, A. G. Lockwood of the Allston Golf club, who had drawn as an opponent George Livermore, one of the leading players of the Medford Golf club. Before the play started Lockwood was looked upon as n proba- ble winner.
 AS no matches of especial interest were anticipated by the morning draw, ings. there were very few spectators at the first tee when the initial pair left on their 6,O00-yard journey over hill and dale, feature of the Essex county course.

RACEHORSE FALLS.
Woman Who Rode It Slightly Hart
 Result of the Races.

Danbury, Oct e.--Over 11,OOO per sons attended the Danbury fair yester- day, making the largest Wednesday at- tendance in the history of the fair. There was but one incident to mar the pleasure of the spectators and that was the falling of one of the high jumping horses ridden by Miss Alice Jewell of New York. The horse caught its fore feet on the hurdle bar and fell heavily, rolling over on it's rider, amid the screams and shouts of hundreds of women who witnessed the accident Miss Jewell was considerably bruised and shaken up. Almost a dozen wo- men tainted ill the grand stand, but were speedily revived. Miss Jewells horse, Yellowstone, was found to be paralyzed as the result of the fall and it is probable that the animal will be killed.

The man agers will meet tonight at the otfice of the Yosemite Athletic club and close the deal. Willie Britt's demands will be similar to those exacted by Young CorDett from Jimmy when the Corbett.

THE GRlDIRON.
WATERBURY'S
 GOOD GAME
No Scoring on Either Side -.Bridgeport Paper Makes False Statement-Results of Other Games.

Ine WarerDury High school fo0TDaIl team played the Bridgeport High school team in Bridgeport yesterday, and neither team scored. The local team was heavier than Tne Park city boys and the latter at, once began to shout Ringers! Ringersw As the game progressed and the Bridgeport team could do little in advancing the ball, this cry of ringers was increased. The boys ill Bridgeport were so weak and puny that they refused to play any longer halves than 15 and 10 min- utes respectively. They need some nerve tonic. The play in the first half after Waterbury kicked off was about even, but was confined chiefly to the Bridgeport territory. In the second half Bridgeport got the ball about twice. Waterbury rushed the ball down the field from their twenty-yard line to the opponents ten yard line, and then the Bridgeport referee be came scared and thought his pets might loose and he penalized the Wa
 terbury boys ten yards because he said that William Thompson had been coaching the boys on the field. He hadn't been watching Coach Foster of the home team. This took the heart out of the Brass city boys and they lost the ball on downs. A minute or two afterwards the long half, ten min utes, was over.
 Some wise scribe on the Bridgeport Telegram Union says: "Waterbury had at least five ringers on the team, who are playing with the Merrimacs or other teams in the Brass city,. The Waterbury team averaged 175 pounds. l about forty-five pounds heavier than the local boys. A Waterbury substi- tute admitted that the team had the | assistance of i've ringers, but as this is not league game Manager Clayton
 Buckingham will make no protest.'
 The reporter must have made mis- take. He was probably talking with a Bridgeport substitute. There was not ringer on the the High school team, all the players being bona tide | students. Just because some players are two or three inches taller or if teen or twenty pounds heavier than
 others, that does not prove that they are ringers. It Is easy to shout ring.
 CTS, especially when team is getting | the worst of it. It shows poor sports
 manship when there is not sem
 blance of truth to the charge. The 1 local boys say that Bridgeport has a
 yellow streak when it makes such l charges. The Bridgeport Telegram Union states that Captain Lane, Wor-
 then; Meath, Calhoun and Morehouse played star game for Bridgeport, and
 the Mcdonald brothers and Dalton for | Waterbury.
