HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

Although the opening of school is about one week ahead, yet Thomas Butterly, captain of the football team of the local High, is busily engaged preparing for the season. Since the winning of the Yale cup Waterbury High has not been represented in any league. This was partly due to the lack of grounds and partly because of lack of enthusiasm on the part of the students, who failed to get out and make the team a success. Last year Dr Herr and Harry Durant used their energy for the success of the team with the result that the sea son was very good one.
 This year determined effort is to he made to obtain admission into the Trinity league. composed of Meriden, New Britain. Hartford. New Haven, Bridgeport and Torrington. It is be. lieved that the local team will gain admission as several of the teams are favorable to it. Superintendent Tinker is working very hard for the boys as he believes the team should be repre- sented in some league or other. He says that it is a shame that a school the size of the Crosby is not able to put forth a strong aggregation of sturdy football players who would do the school proud in contests with their opponents. He thinks that there will be no trouble getting a place in the league and expects to be voted in at the first meeting in September. The Messrs Herr and Durant will again coach the team and the material which they have to work on Is rather encouraging. according to Captain But terly. Tn all probability the squad will consist of at least the following: But terly. Maltby. Mahaney, Tracy. Stad. miller Caesar. Freney. all of last years team: Finn, Miller. Pierpont Maloney. Eagan. Byrnes. Doyle | Beach and Moore.
 Manager Everitt may not go back to school. but if he should not the team will be well looked after by Assistant Manager Charles Egan.

Spiders" The newcomers modesty attracted the brusk and open-hearted OConnor, and he took him under his protection and acted as sponsor for him. The pair became inseparable companions, and during the term of their service with the Cleveland club were roommates MeAleer proved tho sensational fielder of the league, and O'Connor gloried in Jimmy's success as much as if it were his own triumphas over which he loved to dwell. O'Con- nor's retirement did not break up the old friendship that has always exist. ed between he and Mir. McAleer.
 The catcher decided to devote all his time this summer to his business, with the exception of Sundays. when he may catch for semiprofessional team and act as manager. Jack is one of the oldest cstehers in point of sSTv- ice in baseball today. He started t0 catch when he was boy, and has beon at it ever since. He was with the Rob insons at Cleveland fos more than c decade. and they declare that he wus one of the trickiest and most con. scientious ball players that ever work. cd for them.
 When the Robinsons transferred their National league franchise 10 St. Louis O'Connor came here, but he was traded for a cash consideration to Pittsburg In Pittsburg o'Connor was a warm fsvorite and developed such star pitchers as chesbro, Leever and Phillipi. When the war broke out be- tween the American and National leagues oConnor cast his lot with the new league and took with him to New York such players as Chesbro. Conroy. Jimmy Williams and Lefty" Davis. o'Connor had some trouble with Clark Grifith. manager Of the HIghIanders. and was turned over to st Louis in trade for John Anderson. HcAleer be- lleves that o'Connor is still one of ths greatest cstehers in the game. T think O'Connor has better baseball head than any catcher in the business" said Jimmy He is not the nashy typs of backsiop. but he knows how ts work hstters to perfection

GREAT DOG CONTEST.
American and English Fox Hounds
 Matched For S5000.

To test the relative merits of Ameri- can and English fox hounds, the two greatest packs of those dogs in this country have been matched to meet in a trial hunt for 5000 side and handsome silver trophy.
 Harry W. Smith. perhaps the best known American sportsman. who, rid ing his own horse. the Cad. won the Grand National steeplechase some years ago. is the master of hounds of the Grafton hunt. has entered his pack of American bred dogs to compete with the English hounds of A. Henry Hig- ginson of Boston, M. F. II. of the Mid dlesex hunt
 It is believed that almost every well known huntsman and cross-country rider in America, as well as many representative English sportsmen. will he on hand to attend the meet. which is scheduled to take place during the first two weeks in November in the Piedmont valley Virginia.
 This will be the first match of the kind ever held in America, or any other country, and is attracting great attention.
 According to the rules the judges are to determine the awarding of the match on the following:
 The killing of the fox Is to be the test.
 If this cannot be accomplished in two weeks the judges may continue the trials until same has been accom- plished, or award the trials to the pack which, in their opinion. has done the best work with that object in view.
 Foxes chopped fin cover are not to he counted as kill. If fox is run to earth he Is to be left there. unless the hounds, master. huntsmen or whips are able to dislodge him by nat ural means. Frying of rocks to enable the hounds to dig into the earth by fence ralls etc, Is to be allowed. and also the use of terriers.
 If inc judges can. at any time be- fore the two weeks are iIp. arrive at a unanimous decision. they may make the award without further running. The judges must render a decision. giving the match to one pack or the other
 Should t be impossible for the i judges tu follow the hounds on account of wire. rivers or the nature of the t country. they are to take such testi- mony as can be obtained from reliable parties and make a written memoran- dun of same on the day lt Is given and file same with the cefk Of the match.
 The number of hounds run in the English and American packs is to be left tD the master. but a full pack as selected by him must be run on each running day.
 Each master is to fife with the judges the name and markings of his hounds which he Intends to run in the match. nud the name and markings of ten substitute hounds. which. on the approval of the three judges. shall he allowed fa substitute fl necessary owing ts ioss. injury. etr.
 Neither pack is te tse hunted la the Piedmont valley before November l. N The pack which ls ta hunt ihe first 1ar shaii he determined hy fst. and from that time the packs are to run on alternate days. rain or shine.

THE PUGlLIsTs. GARDNER BEAT
 BUD RYAN
Fight Ended in the Fifteenth Round When Ryan Claim. ed . Foul-Madden De. fends Gus Ruhlin.

Colma. Cal. Aug 26.-Buddy Ryan, who claimed the welterweight cham pionshlp, and Jimmy Gardner, the Lowell, Mass. scrapper. came together here last night. and big crowd of western sports was on hand to see the battle.
 Both men weighed fin at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. and failed to move the beam when the scales were set at the reaired limit of 142 pounds. They stepped into the ring in perfect condition, and Ryan was confident of his ability to do better than he did on his two previous meetings with the New Englander.
 Gardner was at all times an odds-on favorite, but there was very little bet fling on the affair. as the San Francis co fight fans remembered how easily he had disposed of big Rufe Turner with a knockout few weeks ago.
 The fight was scheduled to go twen. ty.five rounds. Jimmy Britt and Bat ting Nelson were both at the ringside.
 In the fifteenth round Gardner land. ed two blows apparently very low and Ryan sank to the floor ip agony. Claims of fou! made by his seconds were not allowed. Ryan was heOred again as he rose and his seconds ear- riesl him to his corner. where tie gong rang. Ryan was clearly unable to con. tinue and his seconds threw up the sponge. Referee Roche gave Gardner the decision and declared all bets off.

Holyoke Beaten Out By Cy Miller of Springfield One Double Header Yes. terday-Resvlts.

Springfield, Aug 26.-Holyoke's pen nant pole climbers found the going slippery yesterday. Score, Springfield 5, beloved leaders 2. Until the eighth inning the men who have enriched several railroad corporations by their spry behavior, thus enticing greedy gem seekers from big league districts, were unable to score. The runs came ill the last two tries.
 The Ponies church-spire pitcher, Sigh Miller, was doing business from an elevation. and by methods which made him looked up to at all times. Until the fourth inning, when Hum- mel doubled, no Paper Weight got a start toward run. Only six hits were made by the burly boys who have pelted boxmen for all kinds of swat piles in the past few weeks. Mil Ter didn't have enough power to go the whole distance at the speed with which he reeled off the first seven iD- nings. but taken as mass of pitch ing. yesterdays display by Sigh was the keenest thing that has come from Springfield pitcher in any of the re cent tries against the new champions.

HESTON OFFERED $500 A
 GAME TOPLAY FOOT BALL

Detroit, Aug 26.-Willie Heston, last years captain and halfback of victorious Michigan football eleven, and now engaged to coach Drake uni yersity this fall, has received an offer 10 become member of the Canton, O., Independent team this year. Canton offers Willie S5U a game.
 Heston, who is now in Detroit. does not deny that the offer has been made. but refuses to say whether he will ac- cept. Last fall after the close of the Michigan season, he was offered S1.000 to play one game for an Ohio eleven, but refused it thinking it would ieop- ardize his standing as an amateur.
 Heston was star at Michigan for four years and twice was honored by eastern experts for the All-American team.
