WRESTLING.
KELLY AND O'CONNELL
 WILL MEET OCTOBER l3

The wrestling contest between John E. Kelly of this city and Ed O'Connell of New Haven will take place one week from next Thursday night in Joe Lawlor's athletic rooms on lower South Main street, near the Jacques bottling works. The match will be for $JO side and the last deposit of the purse will be made not later than Thursday of this week. That. the match will be an interesting one is ev- idenced from the fact that heavy bet ting has already been registered by the friends of both wrestleTs. They will weigh in at the ringside at 13S pounds. O'Connell and Kelly are both down 70 weight at the present time, so the re- port comes from their training quar-. ters, and both are ready to battle for the contest of their lives. Odds seem to favor Kelly in the match, % but O'Connelps friends are taking all bets at odds. It will be a match worth traveling miles to see, for the men wanted to wrestle if they had to go into a room with only the referee as witness.

riERRIMACS SECOND TEAM
 DEFEATED THE ACORNS

The long looked for match game of baseball for $50 a side between the sec ond Merrimac team and the AcoTns was played yesterday on the Riverside grounds and resulted in a victory for the Merrimacs by the, score of II to 10. Both teams had strengthened up, in fact dit looked as if there was but one man of the original teams on each team, and that man the pitcher. 1t was a slugging game as far as the Acorns were concerned, but the errors they made cost them the game. Both pitchers were effective in tight places. Dwyer, catcher for theA MerTinacs, was star ill his position and but few captured the second bag, There was lots of excitement and whole barrels of coin. It was almost dark when Dwyer nailed the last man at second base and the game was over The score:

The Harvard team showed a perfection of team work quite phenom+ enal for this time of the season. Har- yard was held for downs but once and that was near the end of the game, when almost all the first eleven had been taken out. Williams's line was weak and most of Harvartls gains were made there.

Good Local Game Played Yesterday-R Results of all Games Played by the Col. leges.

Before crowd of about ,OOO people on Miser's lot in Naugatuck yesterday the Second Ward A. c. football team of this city was defeated by the Oriole Hammer club of Naugatuck by the score of 12 to 6. It was one of the fastest games ever played on this field. The Waterbury team was the first to score, Fitz making brilliant dash around the left end for 25 yards and a touchdown. Noonan kicked the goal. The rubber borough team scored soon after by a series of terrific line plunges which fairly mowed down the Brass City players. The first half ended with the score tie, 6 to 6. The Hammer club scored their second and last touchdown shortly after the be- ginning of the second half. Line plunges did the business Waterbury then took brace and pushed the ball down the field to their opponents 2O- yard Mne, but then lost 1t. on downs. The game ended soon afterwards. The

PASSING OF JACK DOYLE.
One of the Greatest All-Around Players
Who Ever Wore Spikes

THE release of Jack Doyle by Philadel-
pha," says Fred Pfeffer, sis probably the
end of the big league career of one of
the greatest all-around players who ever
wore the spikes. Doyle's career was long
and picturesque. 1t lasted through four
teen years of big league ball. and was al
ways marked with vivid colors. Through
his later years Jack lost much of his old
skill with the bat and speed in base run
ming, but he never lost his ability to jab-
Der at the umpire.
Doyle was a catcher when he first came
into fast company. and was with Columbus
in the old American Association, Then he
went to Cleveland. still as catcher Cleve-
land gave him to New York, and he after
ward played with Baltimore, where he GER
tainly played wonderful ball.
Doyle never pretended to be a pitcher,
but outside of that position he could play
any place and do it we'll He was a quick
and skillful first baseman he could take
of second, third or short in fine
fashion. and he was an excellent outfield-
er. When in his prime he was always good
for a 800 mark at the bat, and there were
few men who could steal bases as he did
right along. He was always either an in
tense favorite or a target for the bleachers.
They either loved him abhorred him.
There was nothing halfway about Doyle

one of the most capable in every line
