THE GRIDIRON
FORT TERRY
 TOMORROW
All Waterbury Ready for the Soldiers - Whitey Reilly Tackles a Freight Car and is Downed.

The All Waterbury team will face the hardest problem they have. this season when they line up against the Fort Terry team tomorrow afternoon. The game will start at 2:45 and it will be corker. Fort Terry team has not been beaten this season only by the All Waterbury team,' but the coach of the Fort Terrys claims that if his boys had not spent Saturday, night around Waterbury the score would have been reversed. Fort Terry will line up heavier than Waterbury and tomorrow will be good test of the prowess of the locals. The Water burys will wear their new jerseys for the first time and will try to make them prove mascot. All are in good condition with the exception of "WhiteyF' Reilly, and he will not be in the line-u up as he tried unsuccess- fully to tackle freight car yesterday and the car put him back for loss of several yards. George ,yaite of Naug- atuck will referee and that means that the game will be run smoothly and cleandy. The field will be wired with new wire to, keep the crowd back and will also be marked off. The lineup of the two teams will be as follows:

MANAGER MCCORMICK.

Mike McCormick's name is being urged for player-manager of the Hol- yoke base ball club. The directors have not had meeting since >the sea- son closed, and to date nothing of great consequence has been done to- ward getting successor for Jesse Frysinger beyond filing applications as they have been received. One of the directors said this week that the Me- Cormick idea was all talk. The player had not asked nor been offered the place. the director said, and he did not believe that he would be. Neverthe- less the club has recently wired Nc. Cormick regarding the matter, but has not yet been able to locate him. There appears to be some doubt whether he joined the team of players that have gone to Cuba and Mexico for the win ter or is still at his home in Jersey City, N. J.
 Mccormick as manager Is not ? lo- tion that particularly appeals to the Holyoke public, says the Springfield Union. Three years ago at Holyoke he was fairly steady player. Dan O'Neil knew how to keep him work ing. But in Brooklyn in 1904, and at Holyoke last season, he was anything but dependable. He appeared unable to manage himself properly and Hol- yoke. can't help wondering how he could be expected to get the best out of team. Personally he Is rather popular. The suggestion is that he be made player-manager, with a financial manager to look after the business end. In the latter post one of the directors would readily serve, and the club would find itself governed exactly as in 1904, when Fitzpatrick first then Dowd, was player-manager and the owners were active in the background.
 Mccormick is now under suspension for absence without leave, but the load can be removed at the will of the club.

ROOSEVELT MAKES TEAM.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 1S.-Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, will play left end on the Harvard freshman football eleven when the 1909 youngsters meet the Yale freshies on Soldiers field this af- ternOon.
 This announcement was made last night and caused no little stir among Harhvard undergraduates. All the season 1t was known tifat Roosevelt had been putting up a great fight, but the feeling everywhere prevailed that he was too light to be chosen for the final team. This, however, is not the case and to-day Teddy will win his numerals and the right to be called one of the big men of his class.
 According to the statistics" given out last night, Teddy, Jr, is IS years old, stands five feet eight inches in height, weighs 145 pounds, and pre- pared at Groton, where he played on the second team. He is nearly ten pounds heavier now, 1t is said, than at the beginning of the season, yet is the lightest man besides Quarterback Sl- mons, who weighs two pounds less, on the freshman team. Kennard, who
  plays the opposite extremity, weighs 1S7. pounds and stands six feet, one inch in height.
 F. Forchhelmer, captain and right guard, weighs 192 pounds, and the ay- craze weight of the team is 165 pounds. Among these men Roosevelt, Jr, is more or less of plgmy. yet his playing this season has been fully up the standard of any of them.
 Speed, aggressiveness and grit have been the three things which have brought him to the fore. and which make him today the most talked of freshman in the university.
 Another youngster of promise who will play for Harvard to-day is F. Cut ting, son of Fulton Cutting of New York. Cutting, like Roosevelt, is a Groton school man, where he played halfback two years. He is IS years old. six feet tall and weighs 1s0 pounds.

 Ormondale, the winner of the Futuri- ty, is the largest winning two-year-old of the season. He only won one race, but as that event exceeded in value every other race of the season it tplaced him at the head of the list First mon ey, coupled with two third places, which he secured during the Saratoga (N. Y.) and Brighton Beach meetings, placed his wln1ings close to $45,000. His nearest rival was Harry Payne Whitney's Burgermaster, who won a number of stakes at various tracks.

THE DIAMOND.
DURANT STILL
 CONFIDENT
Says He Will Get Local Franchise and Talks of the Crou nds - Other Base Ball.

Attorney H. R. Durant stated last evening that he was certain the Wa terbury franchise would be awarded to him on Tuesday next when the com mittee of the Connecticut league meets here to look over the situation. He stated that he certainly had the Meriden franchise bought and paid for and that he would also have the players. He does not want all of them but will keep the best. The ground will not be in the south part of the city as was first believed. It was expected they would be located on the old morse burial ground" near the Eagle brewery but that idea has been abandoned. The grounds will now be located in the eastern section of the city about ten minutes ride by trolley from the center. A farm of thirteen or fourteen acres has been secured, or an option is held on it, and as soon as the franchise is award ed these grounds will be converted into one great athletic field. This field will contain everything pertaining to sport of all kinds and lovers of base ball, football. horse racing and other sports will be pleased when the farm is converted into an athletic field.

In the meantime unless Lacy consents the local management will at once take steps to make another match that will he just as interesting That little atil- letic pavilion is slowly nearing com pletion and when it Is fnishel then the wrestling matches will boom for the rest of the winter.

FRANK BROTHERS,
BRIGHT FUTURE FOR JEWS.
Jacob H. schin Says America VIII
 Produce Greatest of the Race.

&mcob H. sehtm says AMeFtcm WAAA
 Produce Greatest of the Race.
 Jacob H. schif recently told an audi ence at the headquarters of the Educa- tional alliance in New York that the crossing of the i've or six Jewish races now in the United States would make in future the greatest Jew of all ages. says the New York Times. Mir. Schif in a i've minute speech spoke of the outrages in Russia, the consequent ex- odus of the race to the United States and its encouraging prospect here. He said that the great Jew as a citizen and power was yet to develop and that the United States would produce him. Mir. Schin's speech was an incident of the regular meeting of the alliance pre- sided over by Isidor straus. at which the annual report was read and the board of directors was rechosen. He said:
 The Jew Is passing through a criEis.' The present turmoil in Russia must have serious consequences for the Jews of the United States and the world, but the increased immigration to this country as . result of this turmoil should not worry US. because there is, room on our shores for thousands andi thousands of people who are obliged to leave the old world. We must keep our doors wide open to those who leave un- der forced conditions. and we must welcome AH who elect to come from Russia.
 Now a word about the allianca. The work of this body ls not thorough- iy appreciated. The dif1culty win the Jews Is that where their hearts have been appealed to. as. for instance. in the construction and maintenance of hospitals. they have always responded very HberaIly. but where their heads have been appealed to. as Ia this case. where education is the foundation. alas. they are lacking. and they are not ready In response. In this respect we must do our duty to oarselvsa. else our children viii suffer.

James X. Keene's Stake Winning Thoroughbred Has WOn More Money Than Any Other Amer ican Horse Except Domino.

There may be some doubts in the minds of race goers in regard to the greatest race horse the American turf has seen during the last twenty years, but there is no question that fin Domino and sysonby James R. Keene has owned the greatest breadwinners In the country.
 It seldom falls to the lot of one man to own at any period two such great horses as they. But to possess two such champions in less than fifteen years is remarkable. With these two horses alone Mir. Keene has won s3s1.- 4s3 from the various racing associa- tions.
 Domino, known as the black whirl- wind, won s1965SO. This sum will like U be ecIlpsed by sysonby. the racing marvel of today. It took Domino three years to win this amount. In two Fears sysonby has won s1S4,S53 If the latter had won last seasons Flu turity, the only race in which he has been defeated in his career. be would have beaten all previous winnings made by race horses in this country. and be would have overtopped Domi- ao's record by nearly S30.Oo0.

have issued the following statement
dealing with the conditions In tina,
town under a $4,000 a year license
tor saloons. Its statement follows:
."For Is years the city license TO,
selling liquor has been $4,000. Each
succeeding council fixes 1t. No change
has ever been made, and no one haf
applied for the privilege within that
tame. This tax was levied as a prohi-
bltlon, and has been effective. Not
only is the legal sale prohibited, but il
legal selling Is kept to the minimum
and four policemen keep perfect order
IN this town OF 5000. Ninety per cent
OF the white population own their
homes. There are no paupers, no poor
houses, no loafers, aud SO per cent. Of
the children attend school. The town
supports twenty churches, and all are
we'll attended. Swearing is rarely
heard on the streets, and one does not
see q drunken man once IN three
months. The large railroad shops and
one car factory are operated here be.
cause theme are found to be more re.
liable than in liquor towns. These
are some reasons Why Waycross keeps
the license at $50, 0O0."

Hcw "Just As Am" Came to b
Written.

In the March Delineator Allen
Switzerland gives an interesting &C.
count OF the origin OF "Just As AM"
Charlotte Elliott's famous hymn. At
ter telling how the hymn came to be
inspired through a remark of DR.. Cae.
sar Malan to the invalid composer.
when she had told him that she did
not know how to find Chrlst.-"Come
to Him just as you are," said DIR. Ma
LIANT is related that the hymn first
appeared anonymously in The Yearly
Remembrance. DR.. e. S. Robinson, a
noted clergyman, states: beginning
thus its public history in the columns
of an unpretending magazine, the little
anonymous hymn, with its sweet coun-
sci to..troubled minds, found Its way
into scrap books, then into religious
circles and chapel assemblies, and final
ly into the hymnals." That the hymn
has had deep influence for good upon
humanity may be seen from the testi-
monies OF ministers given in this arti-
Gle, and from the fact that after the
death Of Miss Elliott, above thousand
letters were found among her papers
thanking her personally for the great
blessings which had come to the lives
OF the writer's through the instrument
