Co C Will Play the Strong Naugatuek
 Team,

What promises to be the fastest bas- ketball game of the season takes place at the armory Wednesday night. The Co q five, which has come to the front in this popular indoor sport so rapid ly. will face the Naugatuck A. C. The Naugatucki X. c, is without doubt one of the best basketball teams ip the state. Aside from having to lose their first game, they are the only team that has defeated the Co G boys, and then only after the hardest kind of playing. With but few seconds to play Naugatuck caged the winning goal and won by the score of 10 to s. Everything is in readiness to give the people good run for their money and the management expects one of the largest crowds of the season. The game starts at S:30.

STRANGE HOME R11N


 Down in the Southern league three years ago I saw a home run made on hit to the pitcher" says Fred Ab- bolt. The pitcher was a big lumber ing fellow about as fat as LundbIoom and about as graceful as Ed Walk CT.
 He tossed Up slow one to a Mont gomery player and the batter landed on it squarely. The ball struck the pitcher on the kneecap and he fell forward, burying the ball in the soft earth under him. -... ,-- .s-.---, -.... ..
 All the intielders ran to the center of the diamond and tried to roll the pitcher off the ball, but they couldn't budge him. In the meantime the hat ter had gone all the way around and was sitting on the bench when the massive twirler was finally bowled over and the ball recovered" ~
 CY YOUNG AS A WRESTLER.
 Did you ever know that Cy Young was corking good wrestler:" asked Ed McKean, recently. .... >=
 Well, he was as good a wrestler when I was' with the Clevelands as any l ever met outside of profes- sional grappler. I remember one time i'll Pittsburg there was big fellow named Connors who claimed to be quite wrestler He was blowing one day about what he could do on the mat, and Kid Childs made the crack that there were at least two players on the Cleveland team who could best Connors. After some argu- ment match for S10 side was made, to be wrestled next morning. was selected to referee, and no holds were barred.
 When time was called Cnnors at once tried to put on a stranglc hold and big Cy went under the Pittsburg- CT and getting both legs lifted him and slammed him down with all his force. CmnOrs was badly stunned. and old Cy had no difficulty in turn ing him oyer and pinning both shoul ders to the mat. That settled the match. as they were wrestling one fall
 "Cy Young was always q @oodna- tured big fellow, and never liked to hurt man, but anyone who picks him up for an easy mark at any old game is more than likely to get fooled. I have never seen him box. but hnvt been told Ire is there with the mtts good and plenty"

TAFT WILL ENDEAVOR TO CON
VINCE SENATORS SUGAR
SHOULD BE FREE.
He Wants the Product Raised in the
Philippines to Come in Without
any Duty.

There is little prospect that the
duty on Philippine sugar and TOBACCO
will be removed at the coming session
of congress. The same influences that
prevented a reduction of this duty
in the last congress will probably be
able to accomplish as much in the
fifty-ninth congress, particularly as
there will be a number of more i'm
portant matters to engross the time
of bath senate and house, is the re-
port that comes from the national cap
ital.
One thing which Secretary Taft ..op-
ed to accomplish by his trip to the
Philippines was to convince seVerai
senators and representatives from
the beet sugar states that it would
be advisable to let down the tariff
bars on Philippine sugar. The secre-
tary has maintained from the first that
the amount of sugar produced in the
islands would never be sufficient to
affect the price Of American suar. He
has stoutly asserted that the cost OF
TRANSFORMATION from the Philippines to
this country would offset the differ
ence in the price of production.
But even should the secretary sue
coed in changing the views of Senator
Patterson of Colorado and few 9TH
ers in his party, he will not be able
to change the views Of the men who
stayed at home. AS a matter of fact
the men from the sugar states are
even now actively at work building up
an organization with the purpose of
preventing the enactment of any law
reducing the tariff on Philippine SUI
gar. And they are meeting with con-
siderable success. Such an organiza-
ton. properly managed, will be able to
defeat any legislation that may be
proposed.
The fact of the matter is congress,
or rather the senate, is going to have
very little time next winter to take
up the Philippine question. Between
the railroad rate bill, the Panama
canal bill and a possible general tar
if bill, there is going to be no time
left for the Philippines, and deter
mined minority in the senate, by care
full cooperation, will be able to de-
feat any legislation of comparative
Importance.
Many senators have, or profess to
have, a deep interest in the welfare OF
the Philippine islands, but when it
comes to choice between vital legis-
lation affecting the United States
and legislation of relative Importance
to the islands, the latter must be side
tracked. That is the fate in store for
any Philippine tariff bin that may
be brought forward.

REPORTS FROM ALL PARTS OF
THE COUNTRY SHOW AN
ENORMOUS YIELD.
Estimated Grain Totals Over Half
Billion BusheIs-Gain of Over
Thirty Per Cent.

According to statistics that nave
been compiled in Chicago from re-
ports received from all parts of the
United States this will be a banner
year in the history of the wheat crop
of the United States. Everywhere
the crop is in good shape, the reports
of rust and other troubles are in most
cases being greatly exaggerated. All
crops are in good shape and the
American farmer will have all sorts
Of money to burn if the present indi-
cations are realized wnen the crops
are all harvested.
The most optimistic reports come
from Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, the far southwest and the Pacific
coast and the wonderful spring wheat
crop of the northwest. Quite as much
to the point, if not more, in casting up
the ledger of prosperity, is the pros
pect that prices, compared with the
hugeness of the production, will be
higher than since war times.
There is a singular unanimity of
opinion among those calculated best
qualified to speak on conditions and
prospects. BY a close range of in
spection of cornfields, winter wheat
fields and the general conditions pre-
vailing in the spring wheat territory
justify flattering comments. The
wheat crop now looks like it will
be fully 74s,OOO,OOO bushels or about
$4,000, 900 more than last year.
On the Pacific coast the crop pros
poets for wheat were never better.
There is, to be true, somewhat of a
smaller yield in California than had
been expected earlier in the season,
but both Oregon and Washington
crops are reported to be monsters.
The wheat yield of Oregon is expected
to be about 16,OOO,O 900 bushels. WASH
ington 100000 bushels and Idaho =
100000 bushels

GOING TO THE WALL.
How the Taste for Whisky Is Doing
up the Red Man.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 9.-Wnen the
United States court in a recent de-
cision. declared that any Indian that
had received his allotment of land
could purchase all the whisky he
wanted, it sounded the death knell of
the Winnebago Indian tribe in east
ern Nebraska, on the Missouri river.
Already besotted and degraded by
lax morals, and cursed by the un-
uuenchable taste for intoxicants, the
Winnebagos and Omahas were fast
going the pace which led them further
into debauchery; but the decision of
the court, by which the saloons are
practically thrown open to them, will,
in the opinion of those most familiar
with the Indians, accelerate their de-
scent and will, in a few years, lead
to the determination Of the entire
nation.
1T will be but a few years until
every able bodied man on the reser-
walton will drink himself to DEATH y
says Superintendent Wilson of the
Indian agency. 1T means the finish,
morally and physically, of this tribe
of Indians
The Winnebagos and Omafas were
the early friends of the pioneers of
the trans Missouri country, and al
