WRESTLING.
o'coNNELL WILL wREsrLE.

South Manchester, Oct. 16-Edward 0'Connell, instructor of wrestling at Yale, was in town Saturday evening to arrange a wrestling match with Leo Filere of this place in answer to the challenge issued by Filere two weeks ago.
 O'ConnelI has asked another Man. chester man to arrange a meeting place with Filere but this was not done and when O'COnnell came here Saturday night he did not meet Filere or his manager He met a newspaper man and informed him that he was ready to take on Filere to wrestle at the terms made by Filere just as soon as Filere was ready to meet him. This was told to FIlere yesterday and yes terday afternoon his manager wrote 10 0'Connell arranging to meet him in New Haven next Saturday even ing when terms could be arranged and place and date of meeting de- cided upon
 It is probable that the match will take place in this town as when wrestling was held here a few years ago the armOry. where the matches took place. was always crowded and the receipts were large
 George O'Connell. brother of the wrestler. came here last night and met Joseph Flood. FIleT6's manager. Each posted a forfeit of S25 Co bind the match and 1t was decided that the men should wrestle for a purse. time and place to be decided later. They will weigh 13s pounds.

CHAMpIoNS FoR A DAY.

Worlds champions for but brief day are the New York Nationals, and all the per-fervid enthusiasm wrought up over the Philadelphia Athletics has cooled. For in a post post-season gamemot even scheduled regularly by the National commission, the proud McGrawites were humbled by the Ridgewoods to the tune of runs to 2. Fifteen thousand persons were witnesses of the deed. The Ridge woods fell upon the pitching of Red Ames and battered him to the bench. Then followed Claude Elliott the great absentee twirler, who fared no bet ter.
 In vain did Mertes play shortstop, and equally futile were the efforts of Wiltse in left field. All would not do and Linderman held the champions to a quartet of hits while his team mates garnered a decade from Ames and FL llott. Let it not even be breathed that this was not the regular team that won the championship from Philadel- phia. Let no such remark be made to tarnish the laurels of the Ridge woods, now worlds champions by right of having beaten the New Yorks
 And even if it were the team that beat the Athletics. that Is no such great matter. Paterson. the lowllest in the Hudson River league. yesterday, took the Philadelphias into camp So what does 1t matter that the New Yorks did beat them. Any one can beat the Quakers.
 An excited baseball populace is for post-post-pOst-season series between the Patersons and the for the real worlds cham pionship. The games. 1t is said. will be played in Madison Square Garden in connection with the next shape show. and ground rules will count every hit to the Fourth avenue side a two-bagger.
 Ridgewood's triumph in it's succes- sIve stages shows forth as follows:

player made the name for himself that has stuck to him ever since. Most peo
 pie think that because man is pro
 fessional ball player he can't be a gen
 tleman. The rowdy tactics of those old-timers who drank heavily and were always borrowing money gave them this unsayory reputation. With the change that has come in baseball in the last decade there has come a change in the style of ball player also
 Instead of drawing half a years sal

 season, getting the total sum coming to them when the curtain falls The rule now is that when a man retiref from the game he has accumulated : competence sufficient to at least keeI him, if not to do so in luxury. There is this difference between the majoi leaguer of to-day and 10 or Is yeari ago-the present generation of players get much larger salaries than they did back in the eighties. and through the nineties When the game was young in the days when we used to play only 96 or '106 games season, naturally the men did not draw the coin that is given now. Then after the consolida. tion of the National league and the American association and the end of the Brotherhood war limit of s2.40t was put on salaries, though there were instances where players drew more than that, usually. however. captaini being the ones who were thus favored Since the war with the American league salaries have gone soaring. and there is no reason on earth now why major league ball player shouldn't save up bunch of. money. They're getting 1t and those who do not take advantage of their opportunity are the remnant of that old guard that had nearly van ished-ihe improyident ball player"

THE DIAMOND.
NEW YORKS
 ARE CHAMPIONS
natthewson the Peerless One Was Invincible - Lindermann Defeated the Champions Yesterday.

The New York Giants, by winning their game on the Polo grounds in New York Saturday, to 0, became the worlds champions for 1905. It was the fourth victory of the New York Nationals over the Philadelphia Amer cans and was made possible by the superby pitching of Christie Mathew. son. About 27,000 people saw the game
 Bender, the much-feared brave from Carlisle, tried to repeat his triumph of last Tuesday and did good work. Five hits were all that the Giants could register against him while the Ath- letics got six off Mathewson.
 Philadelphia had men on bases in the first, second, third, fifth and sixth innings, but couldn't get one past the second sack.
 The inst run of the game came in the fifth when Mertes scored on long fly by Gilbert. The other run was made in the eighth by Mathewson on a left field drive by Bresnahan and a liner to second by Browne.
 The Giants were well rewarded for their hard work in defeating the Attn letics for by the weeks labor each man to-day has a check in his wallet for $1,1f1.41. That is the share of each of the eighteen Giants for the series. The figures given out officially yesterday show the receipts of the first four games. from which the play CTS derive their profit, to have been $50, 730.50. The share for which the two teams struggled amounted to 7,3q. Seventy-five per cent. of that amount was divided among the Giants. The remainder went in equal shares to the Athletics, about S450 to each man.
 In the three victories over which Mathewson presided he pitched twen- ty-seyen innings During that series he allowed not a single run, only one Athletic reaching third base. He was touched for only n total of fifteen hits and by men who are reckoned as the American leagues strongest batters; he allowed only one pass to first, hit only single batsman and struck out sixteen men. The record has perhaps never before been equaled in profes- sional baseball. The score:
 R. H. E. Philadelphia. 000O0OOOO-0 i 0 New York;. 00001001'-2 , 2
 Batteries-Bender and Powers; Ma thewson and Bresnahan.

THE GRIDIRON
BRISTOL WAS
 VERY EASY
All Waterburys Have a Picnic With the Bristolites Results of All Games Saturday and Sunday

The second game of the All-Water- bury team on the Riverside grounds yesterday afternoon showed much i'm provement over that of the game a week ago, and Bristol was showed un- der by the score of q to 0.
 Although the crowd was not as large as week ago it was a good sized at- tendance and if each one put in his mite the management would be on easy street But the spectators hang on to their money and let the mar agers whistle for their guarantee. Do your share if you wish to see the games.
 Waterbury kicked off and quickly obtained the ball on downs, as Bristol was unable to go through her oppo- nents line. Then began a series of plunges which moved the Rristolites down and the ball was carried over the line for the first touchdown. The try at goal was a failure.
 After the first touchdown it was simply case of how many points the Waterbury boys would score. Ali kinds of runs were made and Bristol did not have a look in.
 The Bristol team was not much bet ter than the soldier boys week ago, and the strength of the local team is as yet unknown. The game was en- liyened by a little punching which pleased the onlookers, who again stayed off the field in admirable fash. ion.
 The followers of the local eleven would now like to see. some good, strong aggregation brought here for next Sunday to see what the home team would do in a real live game.
 Their. game was snappy in all re- spects yesterday with the exception of goal kicking and pulling along ths man with the ball after he has been tackled. In regard to the former fault it should be quickly eliminated, as in close contest it would prove a decid- ing factor. Pick out q man that can kick goals, let him practice and keep him at 1t. It is the only way that success can be obtained.
 In regard to the pulling and helping of a player after he has been thrown, much coaching should be given. It is "a means by which many additional yards are gained and often times player is pulled to his feet with fine results.
 All in all, the team is becoming mighty good one and any other eleven in the state will have very hard task defeating it.
