REFEREE WAS RATIFIED.

It was a case of the referee being badly rattled in the twenty-round bout between Mike Schreck of Cincinnati and John Willie of Chicago, at Salt Lake City last Tuesday night. The fight ended in the tenth round. The men battled in the open air and a steady downpour of rain. The ring was wet and slippery. Referee VII lard Bean gave three decisions during the mill. He first declared Willie the winner when the Chicago man had fioored Schreck. A few moments la ter he said Schreck had won on a foul but before quitting the grounds called the affair no contest and said that all bets were of.
 The blow that ended the fight came soon after the tenth round opened. Willie caught Schreck low with a full left swing and sent him down. Schreck was on the floor in apparent agony. Bean made no effort to count him out or give any verdict. Schreck was weak from the punch and fell to the floor as soon as he arose. Willie had the better of the combat up to tue time the fight terminated, but the spectators think he committed a foul and that Schreck was entitled to the decision.

WRESTLING. GOOD BOUTS
 TONIGHT
Three Contests Sched ule d For the Simonsville Ath. letic Club Rooms Will Be Corking Good Ones.

The meeting tonight of the Water. Dury ana Naugatuck wrestlers in the slmonsville Athletic club rooms ought to attract a big crowd of sports. As the admission prices are only 9 and 50 cents, every seat will undoubtedly be occupied. Those three contests to- night will be good betting propositions and there is no doubt but that Nau- gatuck will back their men to the lim- it. All of the wrestlers are in good shape and ready for the call of time.
 The first contest will start at eight o'clock, and Peter Connolly of Nau- gatuck will try to do things to Tommy Fitzgerald of this city. Tommy says the things will be doing to Connolly and not to him. Jack Roach of this city will try conclusions with John Subie of Naugatuck. Every one knows how clever Jack Roach is and his friends expect he will have a cinch. The Naugatuckians. are not talking very much but they are quietly back ing their man to beat Jack. This match should be a hummer.
 The main contest will bring togeth- CT Charlie Lawson of Naugatuck and Young Blondin" of this city in a handicap affair. Lawson agrees to throw Blondin" two falls Tn one hour of actual wrestling. Lawson is rated as one of the best of the little fellows who are wrestling in this state He has a whole lot of friends down in Naugatuck who will back him to their last dollar. On the other hand "Blon- din" is a tough proposition for any little fellow to throw twice in one hour and he too has a good many friends who will be on hand with the dough. Altogether this tournament should be an interesting and exciting one.

 Fielder Jones Is said to have been so worried by his managerial duties that he is grouchy even with his own play CTS. His present suspension is the re suit of calling SIX 0Loughlin a crook.
 Steamer Flanagan will have his fare. we'll today. Tonight at 621 o'clock Flanagan plans to leave for his home in Pennsylvania. Saturday night he joins the Pittsburg team when 1t be gins ifs trip to st Louis.

TRouRLE IN NEw HAVEN.

New Haven, Sept 7.-Because Man ager Kennedy of the Hartford base ball team refused to allow his team to go upon the field with Umpire SmInk, the officially assigned umpire. officiat- ing, the league game scheduled for the Sayin Rock grounds for yesterday was promptly forfeited to New Haven.
 The trouble came about in this way: Umpire Smink held the indicator at Hartford on Tuesday to the dissatis- faction of several Hartford. players. As result MT Smink did not wish to speak to Captain Doran Of the Sen ators. Consequently when he wanted to learn what the Hartford battery would be he inquired of Manager Ken nedy, who told him to ask Captain Doran. SmInk said he wouldn't, and he didn't. He asked one of the re- porters, who told him. When it be- came time to call play he announced the batteries and asked for batter up. but Manager Kennedy declined to play, to the disgust of the 300 fans who had gathered to see the game He wanted another umpire, any one else. but as Smink. the assigned man. was present, his desire could not be compiled with. President whitIOck held a brief confer ence with Mir Smink. Then the um. pire drew his watch, called play. and when Kelly had put a few balls across the undefended plate he declared the game New Haven's. Q to Q.
 An exhibition game. with Billy Lush as umpire. was then played. but the spectators did not Ike Manager Ken nedy's action a bit. New Haven took the game. { to I. The score:

HOW HANLoN WON.

Eddie Hanlon. the San Francisco lightweight, defeated Willie Fitzger- aid of Brooklyn on foul at Los An geles last Tuesday night The men were to have fought twenty rounds, but Fitzgerald struck Hanlon in clinches, which was contrary to the rules. and was disqualified. Hanlon had the better of the mill up to the time the contest was stopped and probably would have won on his mer- its. Hanlon set the pace and follow ed Fitzgerald about, ripping home lefts and rights with accuracy. Once in the fifth round, Fitzgerald was doubled up by a blow in the wind. Just as Hanlon was about to send home another smash the gong sound cd. To the majority of those present it looked as if Fitzgerald was glad to lost on a foul

THE PUGILISTS. MANY BETS
 ON FIGHT
It is Expected That Half a Million Dollars Will be Wagered on Britt and Nelson Other News.

New York, Sept. How much mon ey will be put up on the Britt-Nelson fight tomorrow afterRoonf1 AZ 2knt'
 Here in New York most of the wagers will be small as a rule, but it is estimated that at least $250,000 will change hands in Frisco on the result of the Britt-Nelson battle. Not wlthstandIng the fact that the great volume of coin will be wagered, few bets have so far been recorded.
 George Considine is of the opinion that when the real betting commences the day of the fight, Britt will rule favorite at odds of 10 to g. The gem eral opinion is that is the match had been made a few months ago Nelson would have been the favorite. Brltt's determination, however, to go forty five rounds, and his insistence on q $10,0OO side bet, changed the com plexion of things materially. The sporting public has been influenced great deal by the California mans su- preme confidence and 1t is bound to have its effect on the market.
 The Dane will not lack support on the day of the fight, If reports from bulLC CUuul TUT 1hNAAt4 Clark, the Montana millionaire, has had four boxes reserved for himself and friends. Clark likes to bet and the friends who will occupy the boxes with him, are reputed to be plungers. They have signifed their intention of stringing their coin on Nelson.
 1t will certainly be a great betting fight and throughout the United States more than $5O0,0O0 will hinge on the result.
 The largest crowd that ever saw prize fight was that of the Jeffrles- Corbet match, which drew a S6100O house. Coffroth is expecting Britt and Nelson to draw more. and now that he can begin to judge of the house by the advance orders for seats that are rolling fin by every mail and messenger. he will see that there will be accommodations for all.
 The reserved seats in the arena will not he built up. but the ground has been dug out and every one will have his feet on the ground. % there will be no possible chance for a break down The box seats are all level. and a raise begins with the SID seats. There will be q gradual raise all the way back. SO that every one VII be enough higher than the man In front to see over his head with ease.
 The first fence around the arena will be built of several strands of barbed wire. while there will be q higher wall of boards inside. Mount ed policemen win patrol the enclosure between the wire fence and the board- cd one to keep out the crowds.
 The contract for the moving pic lures fs all settled and the fiim. which will be about two and q half miles lonz. has been ordered Already Cof- frofh fs receiving many letters daily from persons who wish to buy state riRhte and other concessions and that part of the show looks as If it would be a paying one.

Holyoke, Sept 7.-The Norwich grip on last place was cemented yesterday afternoon, when the Tighe tribe was once more victim of Holyoke prow- ess. It is a stiff fight that the Rose buds have put up for the cellar cham pionship and now there is none so bold as to gainsay them the victory. J.. Tighe says he has too many golfers on the team, the only apparent effort some of them make being their attempts to make as low score as possible. The score:

Autos as Read Rollers Put Hartford
 Track in Condition.

Hartford, Sept 7.-Angiola won the Charter Oak stake 2.09 trotting race at Charter Oak park yesterday after noon, after winning two heats the day before, when four heats were trotted. She and Zephyr each stood yesterday with two heats won. and in the bet ting Angiola was the favorite. Geers made a strong drive with Zephyr, but his mare hadn't the speed to overtake Angiola. Zephyr won second money, Norman B. third and Glenwood NJ. fourth.
 Rain interrupted the racing, and the last race on the program. the PIP trot, was not reached. The rain came about 2:30 o'clock, and the track was not sufficiently dried of for racing until 5 o'clock. Soon after the rain stopped, A. J. Welch, owner of the track. in- duced a lot of automobilIsts to take their machines out on the track. The machines served as road rollers and did good service fin getting the track in condition.
 Delaree was expected to take the Capital City 2:3O trot. She came in fifth in the first heat lame from a strained tendon and was withdrawn. The first heat was won by Miss-in-law, but with Delaree out Albert c. became fayorite in the betting. and this con fidence was well placed. He took the next three heats without trouble.
 Most of the men with money to bet could see nothing but Don Carr in the pacing race. and there was little sur prise when he won in straight heats. 0wyho fought hard. but was outfooted. Four drivers. Murphy. Walker. How. ard and Helman, were fined $50 each by Starter Newton for scoring ahead of the pole horse after they had been warned. The summaries:

A Church for Men Only.

In recent address a western Y. M.
c. A. secretary declared that if the
church wanted to attract more young
men the evening meetings should be for
young men only. There should be a
chance in the church." says Benjamin
A. Greene, on the same subject in the
Baptist Standard, where the mas
culine can normally come to conscious
ness and not feel out of place. The
church, including the Bible school,
should be large enough, complete
enough in the variety of it's teaching,
in the methods Of it's work, in the dis
tribution of it's rooms, invitations and
inspirations, in its allowances and its
patient waiting after the fashion of
God, so that the growing boy shall
feel himself at home.
Somewhere in the church There
ought to be something corresponding
to the dem in the home. 1t has been
said the development of the den as
part of a modern house is most sig
nificant; it is a protest against the
spare room and all meaningless con-
ventionality. Certainly the preaching
should be virile. Any man, old
or young, should have manly
self-respect famed into vital glow
every time he passes out from a

Iowa politics, probably true every

ports concerning the probabilities Of
Iowa congressman not being likely to
succeed themselves. For instance take
Congressman Cousins case. One hears
before he gets to the county where the

ing his last term in congress. That in
BlanktoWn and NeXtown and Lastown
his political enemies are working hard
to defeat him. When the writer gets
to those towns and makes a few eau
tious inquiries. the real opposition is so
small. that there is even no copy" in
it, The disgruntled ones are not unit
ed and While there are several would

Congressman Cousins has supposedly
some trouble on hand. In Webster City
the trouble is located in and about
Wesley. In Wesley it is Webster City
that's in revolt Congressman Haugen
is another similar case. In North
wood the writer is told down in Mason
City there is trouble. In Mason City
one hears there is blood on the moon
in Charles City. In Charles City-well
the writer has not been there lately
Congressman Lacey is another man
that sis doomed" to hear some tell it.
In Montezuma one hears of Moses
coming out of Nextown to lead the re-
bellious host In Grinnell, the man to
