THE SPORTING NEWS.

ond point passed over the heads of the opposing backs. For some minutes frequent assaults on both kerry's and the LondOners posts became the order. The pace was exceedingly fast throughout and the spectators were treated to some fine exhibitions of the defensive operations. London Irish appeared to distinctly better advan- tage in the first half-hour but their scoring line missed a few chances. Play had to be suspended on two oc- casions to lind substitutes for players who had been incapacitated through accident. London Irish had pulled off three points and when full time was whistled the positions were:

FRENCH STYLE RAD.

Paris, Dec 4.-Jiu jitsu, championed by typical Frenchman named Reg rier, has beaten the French method of boxing, represented by a professional, Dubois. The match was held last week.
 Champions of French boxing for weeks had been demonstrating on pa per that iiu jitsu was no good against a kick, because the latter keeps you. so to speak, at legs length.
 The encounter was short and decis- i've, lasting only one minute. Dubois aimed fierce kick at Regnier's chest. The latter avoided it easily and closed at once. In an instant Dubois was down. his arm pinioned and twisted. and second later he was shouting his surrender.

THE DIAMOND.
GROUNDS ARE
 OUT EAST
The New Waterbury Team Will Play in the Eastern Part of the City Other News.

Waterbury will have baseball and will play it in the eastern part of the city as the Democrat has claimed right Along. There will be no Boulder grove grounds or South Main street grounds or Driving park grounds or any other grounds except those secur- cd in the east. The promoters of base ball, Harry Durant and George Stro- bel, wanted to buy about three acres in that part of the city but the own CTS of the property refused to sell a portion of the land wanted but would dispose. of the whole field. This was finally done so that an athletic field of about thirteen or fourteen acres has been bought. This field will be con verted into big athletic grounds A circular grand stand will be erected and the bleachers will be so arranged that they can be moved into the center of the field when football is played there. The grounds will also be laid out for track meets and 1t is expected that next season Waterbury will be- come one of the centers for athletic sports. It will cost the promoters about $S,000 before they are ready for baseball but they do not expect to stint themselves in the arrangements for the grounds will be equal to, if they do not surpass, any in the league -l In regard to the Merlden players they will all be held for the present. Even Sam Kennedy cannot get away for the Waterbury promoters claim they have his contract with Meriden safe and sound McAndrews will not be sold either because he Is too good a man to let go just now. Perhaps Sam Kennedy will not play in this city but he will be held to his contract just the same. The disposal of the Meriden franchise will take place thls week and then all that will remain will be the ratification of the sale by the league directors. Manager Durant will then get his lines out for players for the new Waterburys for he in- tends to put a team in the field that will start off winner if possible at the beginning. There s plenty uf money behind the team and good play CTS will be secured at any cost

Not With Waterbury, However, But
 With the New Londons.
 Manager Charles W. Humphrey of the New London base ball club yester- day signed Samuel J. Kennedy to csp- tain the Whalers next season. Ken nedy has been manager and captnin of the Meridens, but he says he has had no contract with Merfden since 1g02 Kennedy claims that putting him on the Meriden reserve list will not hold. He has been coquetting with several managers and 1t was understood a few days ago that be might catch on with Holyoke Kennedy said he was willing to play anywhere except Wa terbury.
 It ls supposed that Kennedy will play first base for New London. He is not as clean a fielder as Slafs Drew. but he is more reliable and Is always In good condition Kennedy was in cllRed to plumpness last season. but he did not play every day as he had good many colts to try out Kennedy is the equal of Drew at the bat and while be cannot make the sensational stops and pickups that Siats fs noted for be is more apt to De sure on easJ balls- The new New London captain is an outaelder of considerable ability.

SMITH AFTER ROACH.

Wrestler Smith of Oakville is after Jack Roach of this city and so anxious is he to get on match with him that he will meet him tonight in the Demo- crat office at 7:30 sharp. He wants to meet him at any weight from 123 to 12S pounds. He will wager any amount of money that he can throw him and wants the match to take place next week. It is very likely that Roach will call this Oakville chap. for Jack feels there are no wrestlers around here of his weight whom he cannot beat

one week ago. The rules remain about the same as last year with the exception that all goals from fouls are thrown from a distance of 15 feet instead of from 10 feet as in former years. This was the chief reason why the Sterlings were defeated in Mid dletown this year.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-12-04

Kennedy is regarded in New Lon don as of the Tom Bannon stripe of captains. He knows what to say to an umpire when things go wrong, but he does not make practice of con tinual pickering. He keeps his men in hand at all times without nagging them and he is popular with the play CTS. It is now the opinion in New London that if Kennedy is given de- cent team he will go long way to- ward bringing the pennant to the live ly whaling town.

FIRST TWO TEAMS

Choosing an all eastern football team this year IS anything but easy because of the fact that ill several positions there are four or i've first class meil so evenly matched ill ability that it is hard to decide on the ones for the team. The first and second all east ern eleyens which are given below are selected partly from the work done bS each member thereof in his positios and partly because the teams named would be the strongest possible con. binations.
 There are few "all' teams of the past that would have anything on the first team named here, and in all around offensive strength it would be hard to ind a team it's equal. While all the men picked played in the posi-. tons in which they are named, no par ucular effort has been made to avoid selecting men who played on the same side of the line. For instance, a right guard could play left guard if need be without hurting his game to any appreciable extent. The iirst and sec ond all eastern teams are as follows:
 First team-Shevlin, Yale, and Is Glaze, Dartmouth, ends; Brill, liar yard, and Lamson, Pennsylvania, tackles; Maxwell, Swarthmore, aud Irlpp, Yale, guards; Torrey, Pennsyl yanla, center; Hutchinson, Yale, ulIar. terback; Shelbe, Pennsylvania, and Roome, lale, halfbacks; Folwell. fennsylyania, fullback.
 Second team-Levine, PennsylyauIa and To0ker, Princeton, ends; Forbes Yale, and Squires, Harvard. tackles. weeks, West Point, and Thompson, Corneii, guards; Flanders, center; Ste yenson, Pennsylvania, quarterback: Hubbard, Amherst, and Morse, Yale, halfbacks; Mccormick, Princeton, full back.
 'oi'H'''" FOOTBALL ' NOTES, 1f' sSn'a'''
 The rooters and players of the Nj. agara football team think their eleven would have a fine chance In game with Villanoya. They were sorry that a contest was not arranged the mast season as they are sure, according to oneSof the players writing to friend in this city, that the boys from Penn sylvama would have the time of their lives defeating the New York boys The Waterbury enthusiasts all season were waiting for the elevens to clash as there are local boys on both teams.
 Lew Cronan and Hannon out of the game next season.
 Georgetown suffered considerably in regard to winning games by clean ing out her team, but she gained far more in the estimation of those col leges and rooters who are looking for good, honest sport. Other institutions. and not small ones at that, should fol. low in her footsteps.
 An eleven picked from Naugatuck, Acorns and Waterbury would be com posed of the following players. &C., cording to a ro0ter who has followed the game all season: Center, Sulli- van (A): guards, Musante (A) and Ma nancy w tackles, Thompson CV and Stinson (N): ends, Neary CS) and toss-up between Cronan CWl and Duhigg (Al: quarterback. Kecko (Al fullback. Hoffman (Al: halfbacks Ryrnes OY) and Dunning ClD: substl- tutes Ashmore (ND. Hannon Cw) and Shields Cw).
 The Merrimac Juniors defeated the Second Wards Saturday morning by a score of 37 to O. This is the first time the Second Wards have met with defeat.
