New Haven Story Says Roger Connor Will Have a Team in Connecticut League Results of All Games.

Here IS another story about Wa terbury and this one emanates from New Haven:
 Dan Danaher, business manager of the New Haven baseball team, says: Never again will I spend a season on the road with a baseball team. l had troubles of my own this past year.
 Mir Danaher also stated that the Philadelphia Americans were after Lenox and Burke and added that we are not averse to selling if we get a good price,
 The same holds true of the New Haven franchise, which, it is per sistently rumored, will go to Billy Lush before the next season begins.
 Burke and Lenox were bought from Meriden during the flag end of the season, both are fine ball players, and fast enough for big company.
 At the next league meeting, to be held here this month, the chances are that Norwich will be dropped, and Waterbury substituted. It is well known that Roger Connar has practi- cally clinched matters in the Brass city, and unless all signs fail, New Haven will next season face a live team in a good live sporting town.
 Norwich is a dead one from a base ball point of view. for unless the Rosebuds have a championship team they simply will not patronize games, and championship team costs a big wad of money, more in fact than Manager Allen and others care to in- vest in baseball.
 The following players are reserved by the New Haven management: Jope, Tuckey, Corcoran, Kelly, Bun- van, Sherwood, Hayward, Burke, Lenox, Connell, Sanfranandez, Law Tor, Krebs and Fitzpatrick.
 Manager Danaher also has his eye on several other good men. whose names will undoubtedly appear later on New Haven contracts.

The Springfield wrestler lost no time in making the announcement that he would accept Paris offer to throw him twice in an hour Barnes said he doubts even if Parr can throw him once in an hour and Is willing to wager as high as $1,000 on himself if Parr will post money to back the claim that he can throw him Barnes) twice in 60 minutes.

LOCAL BOYS
 IN DANBURY
Gresham Forced to Quit in His Match With Capiro- Jack Brennan Beats His Man.

There was a wrestling tournament in Danbury last night in which a couple of Waterbury boys participa- ted. Jack Brennan of this city met Charley Lane of Danbury in which Lane agreed to throw Brennan two falls in one hour of wrestling. Lane found he was up against 1t before he had been on the mat many minutes and when the hour closed he had se- cured not even one fall and Brennan was declared the winner. George Gresham of this city went against Capiro and the match promised to be an interesting one, but after a fast match of five minutes Gresham hurt his hand and was, forced to quit and Capiro was awarded the decision. Ed O'Connell of New Haven and Jesse Foley of Danbury, formerly of this city, furnished the principal contest of the evening. O'Connell agreed to throw Foley two falls in one hour, but the match ended without a fall on either side and Foley was de- clared the winner.

TIGERS HARD PRACTICE.

Princeton, N. J.. Oct. 3-The Tigers had a hard practice game with the scrub yesterday in which the varsity scored one touchdown. Dutcher. vii lock, Mccormick and Brown are still laid up with injuries and the substt- tutes are gradually improving as a result of the additional work they are getting. Simons and Bard are being tried as new combination of backs and their progress is being eagerly watched by the coaches. Bard has weight and considerable speed, and Simons, though a bit light. has the best speed of any back in the squad. Simons won the intercollegiate broad jump last spring and from the way he hurdles on the gridiron it is evi- dent that he can use his jumping to advantage fin other places besides the track. During Butchers absence from the field Carothers has been winning laurels for himself at the pivotal po- sition.

SUBSTITUTES HELD VARSITY.

Cambridge. Mass, Oct. 3-In the fifteen minutes of serimmage between the Harvard varsity football eleven and the substitute eleven yesterday afternoon the substitutes got the bet ter of the first string men though neither side scored. The subs carried the ball twenty-eight yards, while the varsity made only a few gains in fits and starts, and was three times forced to punt. Twice the varsity was pen alized for offside play. The second team gained largely because the men In the line. with the exception of Pierce, played too high, allowing the lighter substitutes to drive them back. Montgomery played a good game at left tackle on the second. mailing sev- eral plays for loss. Whites pass ing was so poor that Coach Reid put him on the subs and moved Cunniff over the varsity.

JOE GRIM AGAIN.

Joe Grim, the "human punching bag" returned to the ring again on Friday night at Allentown, Pa, where he met Jack Williams of Philadelphia, a crack middleweight. in a ten round bout. The mill went the limit and there was action in every round. Both fought as hard as thye knew how. Grim. with his usual pluck, took a lot of punishment In the second round he received an ugly cut under the eye, and the wound bled until the end of the scrap. Grim tried repeatedly to put his man away. He aimed a dozen wild swings at Williams, who by clever ducking avoided them. In tht seventh Grim scored knockdOwn, but was aopped himself ten seconds later. The result was a draw.

FULTz IS IMPROVING.
But He Will Probably Never Play
 Professional Ball Again.

Dave Fultz will probably never play professional baseball again. The ac. cident in which he and Kid Elberfeld figured in Saturday will put both of them out of the game for the remain. der of this season and as Fultz will practise law with a firm in Wall street during the winter, it is not likely that he will resume his connec- ton with the diamond next summer.
 Fultz is still fin the hospital. but Is improving. He did not have concus- sion of the brain. as was feared. but Is suffering from contusions of the face and head.
 Elberfeld has bruises on his body. a sprained ankle and cuts in his head. He expects to leave shortly for his home in Tennessee.

New Workers Would Like to Throw Cold Water on Delaney's New Find = Terrible Terry Training.

New Haven, Oct 3.-The first suit for damages for delivering knockout blow in a prize fight was brought ill this city yesterday when Albert l.. Kelley was arrested on complaint of John B. Costigan, aged IS years, who asserts that he has not been able to walk since Kelley knocked him out In a fight last March. He wants 5000 damages and declares that he is per manently injured. Both had some thing of a reputation as fighters among the sporting fraternity here and match was arranged between them in Westville on March 90. The fight was warmly contested, but it ' vas suddenly ended by Kelley landing an uppercut under Costigan's chin that laid him out. Since then he as- serts he has been partly paralyzed. At one time it was thought he would die from the effects of the blow.
 COLD WATER FROM BROADWAY.
 Delaney is not especially popular with Broadway sports. and 1t must De admitted that good deal of cold wa ter has been thrown from the Great White Way on the boast that the new heavyweight champion has been found in Al Kaufman.

The Laws Effectiveness.
Members of County Board of Ed.
ucation.

The following editorial express
sion is from the Fulton Gazette:
The laws supremacy us empha.
sized in the closing of the Delmar
race'track in st. Louis is of mo-
mentOus import to Missouri and to
the United States. Belief that it is
impossible to enforce laws that any
powerful element chooses to violate
has become widespread. The in
effectiveness of prohibition in
Kansas, the common disregard Of
Sunday laws in the large cities of
the country, and the ability of
large corporate interests to avoid
the restrictions placed around them
by state an federal statutes has, no
doubt, encouraged the opinion that
man needs only large influence
and large resources to enable him
to do whatsoever he pleases. The
close of the ace.track will do
something to dissipate that feeling.
Ii had behind it not only immense
financial and political interests, but
also the sympathy Of some officers
of the law and the best legal ad-
vice that money could buy. That
the law against bOokmaking was
enforced, Notwithstanding such
tremendous obstacles, is triumph
for the law that will be neither
quickly forgotten nor ihoughtless.
~ underestimate.
We shall not again doubt the eff
feetiyeness of the law. tho ocea-
sion may sometime arise to doubt
the courage and manhood of those
charged with enforcing it.
