EVERYBODY wants to dicker
with the primary election law.
Even the statute revision COM
mittee takes hand in it, and
has inserted a provision by
which anyone may be made to be
candidate providing his name
is presented by five voters,
The principle on which the
primary law is based is alright
all members Of a party should
have the same opportunity to as
siSt in the nomination of candi-
dates. But in actual practice it
is found that the law m ultiplys
the opportunity of the politician
to play sharp tricks on the peo-
pie. For instance in the effort to
defeat certain candidate in a
county not a thousand miles from
Beltrami, nine candidates were
brought out in different parts OF
the county. The end schemed
at by the politicians was accom-
plished and man was chosen by
less than 20 per cent of the total
vote. The change made in the
law by the statute revision com.
mittee multiplys this OppOrtu.
nifty of the politician indefinitely.
If it were desired to make a fight
on a particularly strong candi.
date he could be almost certainly
defeated by entering other can
didates from every one of his
strongholds.
The evolution of satisfactory
primary is going to be a matter
of time and much experience:
the law making attempted by the
statute revision committee Ger.
tainly does not help any.

THE CRIDlRON
BETTING FAvORS YALE
 FOR TOMORROW

New York, Nov 17.-Local betting on the Yale Princeton game has been very slight Few bets have been made on the Stock exchange. where gener- ally a good deal of betting is done. There is no Princeton money. Odds of 215 to l on Yale have been offered but not passed up. Several bets of even money have been made that Yale will beat both Princeton and Harvard. Last week the betting was ? to l that Harvard would beat Pennsylvania, and with few takers. But if the bet ting were 10 to and the chances of the short end just as slim 1t would not affect the interest in the game or the attendance. That Yale has 21z to 1 chance to beat Princeton is not believ- ed by coaches and students, who are not offering that much inducement to entice Princeton money. Hell Devil Skillman's prediction that Princeton will win is as significant as Stock ex- change odds.

OWENS OFT FOR LIFE.

Manager-First Baseman Kelley of the St Paul American association team must go to the St Louis Americans, ac- cording to a decision reached yester. day by the National base ball commis. sion. He had objected to his sale ta that club, wishing to go to lie ToledG American association club.
 Infelder Owens and Outfielder Hey don were forever disqualified from playing in organized base ball for jumping contracts. Owens was sold by Brooklyn to Rochester, but jumped the contract, and Heydon jumped from Baltimore to York of the Trl-State league.
 Player Graham, who was drafted by the Boston Americans and took ad- vance money from the New York Ma. tionals. was declared ineligible until he repays the money.
 Thomas l.. Owens, or Red Owens. as he Is spoken of by followers of base ball. is well known to enthusiasts ln this vicinity, partly from the fact that he played under Roger ConnOr, but mostly because of the notoriety he has gained through his contract jumping since his brief sojourn in Springfield. His path in the future is not likely to be strewn with money in such plenty as he has received in the past. now that he cannot make the threat of doing a leap back to organized base ball.
 Owens has always shown capabllI- ties that might some day make him a great base ball player if .ny depsn- denee could have been placed on hiu as a contract keeper. But he has dis played such feelings of unrest at all times as to make him an undesirable bit of base ball property. and he win now be compelled to seek a livelihood with Independent and outlaw teams.
 At first thought this may not appear a serious matter. since he has always made more money by being an outlaw than by playing with teams of the Ma. tiOnal agreement But iu the future It is likely to be different Outlaw man. agers have already found they must cut salaries. and men like Owens fg. ured on escaping the pruning kife by asserting that they would go back ts the regular ranks.
 When Owens played in Springfield with Roger Connor be made the repu- tatiOn of being a savage hitter and q fast fielder. Then he jumped with Ed Corners tO Toledo. and later found his way to the Southern league, when Dan O'Nefl made a fight for him on the ground that be was property of the Springfield club. He was finally pro nouneed a Pony. but refused to 60 fo Springfield and went to York Of tho Tri-State league.

POI
ED. HIPSON
 IS DEAD
Popular Rusher Succumbs to Pneumonia in the West Well Known in This City-pole Notes.

Edward Hipson, the polo player. of Plymouth, Massachusetts. died Wed nesday afternoon at Fort Wayne where he had been playing with the Fort Wayne team of the Central league He had suffered for some time with typhoid pneumonia, and it was the second attack he had had in his lifetime. He was i'll but a compara- lively short time. Several days ago it was reported that he was not expect ed to live through the night, but the next morning it was said that he was doing better and that there was a be lief that he would pull through. A re- lapse came, however, and death fol lowed
 Hipson will be well remembered by Waterbury followers of the sport in other days. His speed and strength won him recognition and soon brought him places on some of the best teams in the country He was considered a few years ago to be one of the fastest men in the country, and his speed in getting to the spot was only exceeded by the rapidity with which he fol lowed and handled the ball after the spot was cleared. He drove the ball savagely. had a good eye for the goal and rolled up long list of victories for nearly every team with which he was connected.
 He was a prime favorite in this city back some five years ago when Waterbury was one of the leaders in the polo league. He made mary warm friends here. too, who will be more than surprised to hear of his death. John Griffin of this city, who played with him for two years in Salem. was one of the most surprised men in the citu when told of his former comrades death. "Hipson was the best man fin this country at the rush game" said Griffin. There were many who might surpass him in some features of the game, but for steady. reliame player Eddie Hipson had them all beat mile." The polo world loses not only fast and accurate player but gen. tleman always. The name of HipSon was as familiar to all lovers of polo fin this city as was that of Roger Con- nor in baseball He was a good fel- low, a perfect gentleman and as square polo player as ever handled a hockey,

CHOOSING THE PLACE.

The proposed match between Bat ting Nelson and Terry McGovern was
 talked over last night at the Hotel
 Cadillac. Joe Humphreys, acting for McGoyern. met Billy Nolan, the Danes sponsor and manager. at Q o'clock. Several offers for the fight were con
 sidered. One came from Savannah from J. 0'DelL O'Dell wired that he would guarantee a 5000 gate or would give the fighters purse of s1O.- Oo0 with no percentage. Another was from the New Tuxedo club. which Is located just outside of PhiladeIphia and which is controlled by Tom O'Rourke. The Tuxedo people are ready to post s forfeit of s2.5O0 and agree t0 build a commOdious club house with a seating capacity of 6.On0. John Kelly. q Philadelphia promoter. who was present at Tuesday nights session. wired both Nolan and Hum phreys from Philadelphia his regrets that he was unable 10 attend. He added. though. that if the National A c. of Philadelphia. which organization several weeks ago offered a purse of $500 or S0 per cent of the gross would not % any higher. he would give an entieing guarantee. He fur ther said that he could get a hall ln Philadelphia that would seat 6.0o0 per sons.
 Both Humphreys and NoIan dis cussed the offer al length. but could ont agree. Nolan thought that the Savannah and Tuxedo propositions were good things. while Humphreys was inclined to treat them ss d huge joke.

was told of the almost fabulous things the York people were doing to keep the player. Tt would be a crime Is ask you to come to Springfield if the people down here are that kind of spendthrifts," quoth Dan. T can go some myself in getting separated from my money, but they've got me left at the post. Good luck, Red; goodbye"
 Red then showed up as an acquisi- ton of Brooklyn, which club bought his release from Springfield. He joined Brooklyn and played a fair second base, but the Kangaroo habit was too strong and back to York he went. where he is supposed to have had the keeping of the city treasury. On a technicality he. played with Rochester short time in the season end this fall, but 1t was not then thought he would be allowed to play in organized ball again. He plans to be with York again next season.

ABE ATTELL
 HIT HARD
Tommy nowatt Made a Good Showing But Took a Lot of Punishment Austin Rice Won.

Baltimore. Nov T.-Abe AtteIl dem- onstrated his superiority over all othe- featherweight fighters in this countrs by gaining the decision oyer Tommy MoWstt, the fighting conductor" Of Chicago, in one of the hardest fought fifteen round battles ever seen in the Eureka Athletic club.
 Attell outpointed sfowatt at every turn, beat him over the head, in the face and on the body at will. and never allowed the Chicagoan to land an ef- fectiye blow. In the fifteenth round the New Yorker was fighting like a demon and would undoubtedly have landed knockout had the bout lasted much longer.
 Mowatt, however, showed remarka- Die fortitude, and stood the beating wonderfully. He has undoubtedly great punch, but with the clever New Yorker it went for naught, as Attelrs ring generalship was a marvel to all Who saw the match. Abe danced like little monkey around the ring, and his shiftiness and fine footwork won him repeatedly cheers of the crowd.
 The house was crowded to it's ca pacity, a large portion of the recently arrived racing contingent at Washing ton having come over to see the fight
 The betting was to 4 in Attelrs favor. Jim o'Leary. the Chicago book. maker, backed Mowatt, who is from his town, and Honest" John Kelly made q book on Attell.
 The boys weighed in at 6 o'clock, Attell sliding the indicator at 125 pounds. Mowatt was content with not moving the level at 126 pounds. Jim OHara was the referee.

 Mitchell has been in the UmIte,. States for four months on his last trip. He came here the first time twenty three years ago, when bis work in the ring won him many admirers, and his manly qualities and gameness were recognized.
 Since then he has made score O. trips to this country. and, as he says never had bad time. The life and energy of the United States people their hustling qualities-haye appealed to the man who was one of the quick est that ever stepped into the ring. ., year ago Mitchell talked of becoming an American, but business called hiLl to England and he neglected to take out naturalization papers.
