THE DIAMOND.
MORE ABOUT
 FRANCHISE.
P. J. Lawlor of This City Has Entered the Field as One ofthe Buyers--Denny Reard0n Also is In.

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 16-The true inwardness of the Meriden-W Wa terbury baseball franchise situation, and its H0lyoke affiliations, are re- vealed by Dennis M. Reardon of Holyoke, just now the leading bidder at the Connecticut leagues auction block. MT Reardon said:
 Yes. 1 am after the franchise and I'll tell you all know about the plan. do not propose to be manager of the team there, nor to be on the ground. nor to do anything but stay right here in Holyoke and look after my busi- ness here. If our plan goes through 1t will be found to stand this way: Frank Fitzpatrick, now captain of the Springfield team, and F. J. Lawlor, Waterbury business man of weight. will own two-thirds of the club and l the other third.
 will not. as you may have heard. be manager. Waterbury people have urged it on me but I don't want any part of the job. MT Lawlor will be manager and Fitzpatrick captain. How is Fitzpatrick going to get away from Springfield? He may be bought or he may be exchanged for Meri- den player. If the league turns the Waterbury rights over to us there will be no trouble about Fitzpatrick. How about Albert De Wolfe's offer :? l am positive that he Is not still in the field. If he were I should do nothing to oppose him or block his chances. It is certain that he has decided to n,pff d Aa the scheme through, the way seems clear. We have talked with Messrs ONeill. O'Rourke and Bristol. the members of the special transfer con- mittee. and although, of course, they could make no promises, we feel that there IS no serious opposition. Attor- ney Durant of Waterbury has an ap- plication in but we do not fear him. l think you'll find us in Waterbury"
 No meeting of the committee has been called yet. Just now Dan O. Neill. the chairman. is indignant over story printed in a Waterbury pa- per last Sunday. It charged the Springfield manager, in effect, with holding up" the franchise in order to arrange it so that Rogers, the left handed Meriden pitcher, could become Pony for next season. MT O'Neill says that he doesn't care what be- comes of Rogers so long as the fran chise goes to the applicant best able to carry 1t successfully. That, he ob- serves. is his sole interest as a. mem- Der of, the. committee. The commit tees'task Is to investigate, and that 1t is doing impartially, according to the Springfield manager. He says that he is willing to call a meeting any moment and is only waiting assur- ance from the other members, which he has asked for. that they are ready for conference.

New York, Nov 6.-Arrangements were made by the New York Nationai league baseball club yesterday where by the Giants will open the prelimin- ary season at the Polo grounds on April against Yale.
 It was stated by John ]. McGraw, manager of the worlds champions. that he has no intention of trading Roger Bresnahan, as reports from the west recently would indicate Me- Graw received letter yesterday from Bresnahan, In which the latter stated that when he Is through with the New York team he wants to be through with baseball forever.
 West Point has written to the New York League club asking for one of the worlds champions to coach the army team this coming spring. It is possible that Mike" Donlln will ac- cept the position if it does not inter fere with the spring training plans of McGraw In going south.

PLAYED IN SNOW.

Cleveland, Nov 16.-Oyerwhelmed in weight and handicapped by a mud dy field covered with snow and slush three inches deep, the Carlisle Indians were defeated yesterday by the Mas sillon Tigers of Massillon, O., team composed of professional football pIayers. The score was 8 to 4. The Tigers gains were often made by sheer brute force, the redskins being unable to withstand the heavy rushes. Hudson, the Indians coach, was also their quarterback, until his nose was broken, when he retired in favor or Libbey, who was replaced in the sec ond half by Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant kicked a goal from the lo- yard line.

CoRBETT AND BRITT.

Two important matches are planned by Jimmy Cohfroth, the San Francisco tistic promoter and manager of the Colma A. O., Colma, Cal. Coffr0th said yesterday that Jimmy Britt and Young Corbett will figure in the first contest and that, if possible. he win try and bring Britt and Battling Nel- son together again.
 If everything goes along the way I expect" said Coffroth. Britt and COrbett will have 1t out at Colma next January or during February at the latest. 1 think that Corbett and Britt ought to be able to attract a very large house because they are both popular on the Pacific coast. You can say for me that Nelson and Britt will surely meet again. Nelson has told me that he is ready to give Britt another chance but wants to make all the money he can out of the show business. If Nelson wants to meet MeGovern in California I will offer a liberal purse for the pair.-

SCORES TO DATE.

The records show that Yale has in every case made a bigger score against mutual opponent than Harvard, Princeton and Pennsylvania. Yale beat Brown II to 0, Harvard beat Brown 10 to 0. and Pennsylvania beat Brown s to 6. Harvard made a pig ger score against both Brown and the Indians than Pennsylvania did so that this lesson teaches us that these scores have no bearing on coming con tests. Yale not only made a bigger score against Brown than <did liar yard-though this mutual opponent furnished practically a tie for the win ners-but also against West Point and the Springfield Training school. Co Iuunbia is the only team that both vale and Princeton have met. the re sults showing a difference of Al points i'm favor of the Blue. Amherst has the distinction of having played two lie games. one with Columbia and one uitb Dartmouth. This Is a rarity In sootball Michigan leads the country in combined offensive and defensive results. though Minnesota has made more points.

 T am glad that I can welcome you to clean city instead of the Philadelphia of old. It gives me pleasure to intro duce you to other men of your line who are present, and who so ably assisted the graft-ridden city to throw off the yoke of corruption.
 There was time when 1t was not a fair city, Corruption was everywhere. but the people rose almost as one man to throw 1t off and declare themselves done with that form Of government. In future the City of Brotberly Love will attempt to live up to the standard made for her by the first men of this country, who laid the foundations in Philadelphia for the foremost city of the world in purity. We will emulate their ideals as far as possible. To such men as Franklin, Penn and others, we will show our respect for their memory"

ROPE FIBRE FOUND
 ON BOYS CLOTHING
Coroner Secures Additional Evidence to Prove Theory That Pierson Was
 Tied to the Track.

Mt. Vernon, O., November 14-Further evidence that young Stuart Pierson, the Kenyon college student who was bound to the railroad track, has been secured by Prosecutor Stllwell and Coroner Scar borough. They have made thorough examination of the clothing worn by Pierson on the night he met his death. The coroner says that the wrists anu ankles of Pierson's underclothing were examined yesterday and about 1000 small particles of rope fiber were found The fact that the particles are rope fiber has been conclusively proven, it is stated. by the use of an expert The fiber vas not found on the outerside of the garment, but found imbedded in the cloth so deeply that they had to be pulled out.
 Many of the fibers, the coroner states, were also taken from the socks worn by the young student. and were so deeply ground in the material that many remained after being sent to the laun- dry. This evidence. with all the rest that has been gathered, will be submitted to the grand jury. which will begin con- sideration of the case Friday.
