Wants to Sell.

New Haven, Dec 13-Attorney c. J. Danaher of Meriden, the present owner of the New Haven baseball franchise, was in town yesterday morning and had talk with Billy Lush relative to the sale of the team.
 After considerable arguing, the mat ter remained unsettled. Danaher's price is pretty stiff one, and although Lush could probably secure all the backing necessary, he is averse to pay ing more than he considers 1t worth.
 MT Danaher, in talking with a rep resentative of the Palladium, said:
 T shall dispose of my franchise tb's week. 1 am out of baseball for good. expect to see Mir Lush again to-mor' row Wednesday, and it is barely pos sible that we may reach an agreement. I understand that he is a favorite i'll New Haven, and personally would like to see him in charge of the team next season.
 ''If MT Lush does not get the fran chise," Danaher continued, 'I shall sell to another party, who is more than anxious to buy. Asked if the party referred to lived in New Haven, MT Danaher replied:. T do not care to state. He. Is. a Connecticut man, though"

BoTHNER AFTER o'coNNELL.

Tho following letter must have been written later than some others, for in this challenge to Edward O'Connell of New Haven George Bothner does not stipulate that the match must take place in New York or any other place. If Bothner means what he says, and he eidvently does, match between 0'Connell and himself pulled off in this city would make an interesting affair. iManager Joe I.awior has already made bid for the match and if he pulls it off in his new gymnasium down in Si- monsville every seat would be filled. The hall will seat at the very lowest six hundred people. and that with what others could get in would mean at least eight hundred people. If both those chaps want to meet in this city all they will have to do is to say the word and arrangements will be made at once for their meeting. so says Joe Lawlor. The letter from Bothner was mailed in New York yesterday after noon at 2 o'clock and arrived in Wa. terbury at 7:30 last evening. It Is ap- pended below:
 New York, Dec 12, 1905. Mir Edward Maloney:
 Dear Sir-In reply to the recent challenge issued by Edward O'COn- nell of New Haven to meet any man of his class, desire to state that I have forfeit of five hundred dollars posted with the Gazette. and if o'Con- nell is desirous of arranging a match all that Is necessary Is to post sub stantial forfeit. and will wrestle him at any time or place at 137 pounds. This offer Is also open to Alex Swanson, John Kelly. or any man in the country at 137 pounds.
