THE HANDCUFF KING.
Gives Brooklyn Police Captain a Start.
 ling Surprise.


 Harry Houdini, the handcuff king. was thrown into Brooklyn jail yes terday It didn't bother him much. Houd1ni Is an old jailbird. the only odd feature about his experience in that line being the brevity of his sentences. They are always indeterminate. Yes terday he stayed behind the bars seven minutes.
 Captain Baldwin of the Bergen street precinct first had Houdini take off All his clothing. Then the "king" was searched by the captain and his assist ants and by several newspaper men. His mouth was examined and even his hair, which he wears rather long. was combed to prevent him from conceal ing detached portions of a skeleton key in his locks.
 The cell was also thoroughly searched, after which Houdini entered and the bolt was shot Then to make him more secure, two padlocks, were put on the door.
 The captain, his assistants and the newspaper men retired to another part of the corridor. out of sight, and inside oA Juob oVfNh hilhuleS I1OuulUl JOlIIeu them.
 Meantime he had opened another cell door and released a plain drunk, just to show how easy it was.
 Captain Baldwin admitted that the stunt baffied him and gave Houdini a written certificate to that effect.
 Houdini has similar certificates from police officers all over this country and Europe, setting forth the fact that bolts and bars cannot hold him.
 Houdini preserved the secret of his method of operating on the locks by making it condition of his test that none of the spectators be permitted to stand at any point of the jail corridors that would offer a view of the bolts and padlocks. @
 After his lock-picking feats. and to show what he really could do, the per- former swallowed n few papers of needles and some silk, drank glass of water and then drew the silk out of his mouth with the needles threaded on 1t.

The line-ilp.
SHOW YOUR HAND.

Bridgeport will not be allowed to get away from Waterbury on the foot ball field if the local management can prevent it. Manager Danny Walker is pretty good fellow but he is also a pretty foxy one. However it looks very much as though he has been forced to corner and must take the count or else pony up the 'spondulix" The Bridgeport Telegram tells the tale as follows: ... .l
 Manager Daniel Walker, in a con- munfcation to the Telegram this morn ing relative to the proposed series of games between the Acorns and All Waterbury, says: f |.
 T will meet Manager Slavin of the All Waterbury team in the office of the sporting editor of the Morning Telegram at 6:30 o'clock this evening and post forfeit for a series of games.
 Il held October 22 open for two weeks and gave them until Monday of this week at , ?. m. to decide. 1 heard nothing from them and consequently EirNent to iNIugatuck and arranged e series of games with them, the first one te be played in Naugatuck Satur- day and the Naugatucks will appear in this city one week from Sunday.
 Tuesday Manager Slavin of the Ali Waterburys came to this city and posted forfeit for a series of games but his forfeit and offer came too late.
 'The Acorns will play the strong Naugatuck team in Naugatuck Satur- day, and either the Tammanys or Housatonics on Sunday at Park City oval. But when meet Manager Sla- win tonight I will mention the fact that under no consideration will the Acorns play in Waterbury first"
 Manager Slavin of the Waterbury team, in telephonlc communication with the Telegram this morning. said that he would meet Manager Walker this afternoon as desired, and that he was willing to concede the first game to Bridgeport Under these conditions there is no reason why the managers cannot agree upon the proposed series of games.

HEMERY IS SUSPENDED.
Vanderbilt Cup Winner Can't Race in
 France or Italy.

Vanderbilt Cup Winner Can't Race in
 France or Italy.
 Hemery, winner of the Vanderbilt Cup, has been debarred from racing again in France for one year. A news cable from Paris yesterday states that the Automobile club of France decid- ed yesterday that the suspension for a iyedfa from motor car racing fmp6sed on Hemery by the Italian racing auth critics, owing to incidents connected with the race for the Florio cup over the Brescia course last month, in which he finished second to Ragglo, shall be extended to France. It seems that at the close of the race in ques- ton there was some sort of mix-up over the timing.
 Hemery was highly wrought up by the excitement and strain of the race and was impertinent to the officials of the contest. The Italians were not willing to take the circumstances into consideration and suspended the Frenchman from racing in Italy for one year.

NAVY WON GAME.

Annapolis, Md, Oct 19.-The navy defeated the light team from Western Maryland college yesterday afternoon by score of 20 to 0. The visitors played a very creditable game, but could make little headway against the superior weight, strength and speed of the midshipmen. The latter used several men in nearly every position, and thus gave most of their prominent candidntes a chance. The feature of the game preceded the last toucnuown. Decker received the ball from Higgins punt on the visitors forty yard line. He cleared the ends with a splendid dash and hurdled Higgins cleanly, giv- ing himself a clear field for a touch down. Decker proved himself bet ter all around ground gainer than Norton, whom he succeeded.

THE GRIDIRON
CROSBY BOYS
 VENTILATED
Gilbert School of Winsted Gives Them a Sound Thrashing-Bridgeport is Now Forced Into a Tight Corner.

Crosby High school suffered it's sec ond defeat of the season yesterday afternoon when it was trouneed in Winsted by the Gilbert school by the score of IT to 0. The Winsted boys tore up Waterbury's line in whirlwind fashion and never lost the ball after the kick-off until they made touch down. Crosby in the first half played a fair offensive game. They carried the ball the entire length of the field and would have pushed it over if time were not called. In the second half the boys from this city did not have look-in and Winsted scored two touchdowns. One of these was a run of about 90 yards. The local team needs to get out and do some good hard practicing if it wishes to win any games i' ft '

yesterday afternoon on Franklin field. Ursinus was Pennsylvanla's opponent. The score was 30 to o in favor of the Red and Blue. The Collegeville team was outclassed. A younger brother of Pennsylvania's left guard, Ziegler, who is now in the University hospital with typhoid fever, occupied the posi- ton of fullback for Ursinus. Know ing his brothers condition, the boy was asked if he would rather not play. His reply was: "The fellows need me. I must go in" The game was too one sided to be interesting, Runs by Stevenson and Soble were the fea- lures.

NELSON no ENGLAND.

Kansas City, Oct. 19-Battling Nel- son may go to England. Manager Billy Nolan has received an offer of S2.OOO a week for the Battler to do a stunt in London. but he turned the offer down, as the contract was for only four weeks. However, he says. Nelson may make the trip. not as an actor, but as a fighter.
 Jem Bowker, the bantamwelght champion is outgrowing that class and he says he is anxious to meet Nelson. AS 1t Is not thought that Bowker would draw in this country. Nelson may make the trip to annex the easy ctfrrency.

Zanesville, Homestead, Braddock and Butler, Pa.
 These eight clubs may form new league next year, and if they do a strong organization so far as ability to play is concerned is predicted.
 A meeting Is about to be held to set tie up the affairs of the Ohio Pennsyl. vania association and award the pen nant to Youngstown. At this meeting next seasons plans will be discussed and preliminary steps for 1906 taken, it is expected.
 Amanda Clement, college girl who resides at Hudson, s. D., is probably the only girl in the country who is an umpire of professional baseball games.
 Miss Clement, who has played base ball with her brother and his friends, has taken much interest la the game for years, and last summer, she .ofiaei1 ated at twelve or fourteen games be- tween the professional teams of north west Iowa and South Dakota.
 Though the task of umpiring base ball game between teams representing rival towns Is particularly arduous, Miss Clement not only has succeeded remarkably, but says she likes the work. She knows the rules by heart, and 1t is impossible for any player to make her violate them. She has re- ceived pay for her services.
 The ball players, though gallant to- ward women, frequently criticised her decisions quite as enphatically as they would those of man. On such occa- sions she has had no hesltancy In talk ing back and on half dozen occasions has ordered players from games.
