ABOUT CANDY" LAGRANGE.

Frank Farrell, part owner of the New York Americans, is the purchaser of the Montreal Eastern league fran chise, according to a special dispatch from New York to the Montreal Her aid. He says Several of the best of last seasons team will be in line again and in addition l expect to land Joe Yeager and couple of promising colts from the New York HighlaDders. I have the promise of first pick of the squad let go by the Highlanders. There is bare possibility that Frank Laporte. the heavy hitting second baseman of last years Buffalo team. may appear in Montreal uniform If he doesn't make good with Clark Grlf- filth. I am on the lookout for first baseman to succeed Candy Lachance. The magnate's bee is buzzlng strongly in Candy's bonnet and there is no chance of his returning to the Royals. I also expect to sign a new pitcher and first-class catcher this week.

KID M,COY MOVES IN.


 New York, Feb. 17--Kid Mccoy was a quarter of a million dollars strong as he bowled along Broadway last even ing in an automobile. He carried with him q large part of the stock in trade for his new diamond brokerage and retail business, which opens to-day at 1503 Broadway.
 The Jewels had been kept fin Maiden lane and the proprietor went after them himself. When word spread through the Tenderloin that he was due with the goods, the captain of the Forty seventh street precinct sent two policemen to 1503 to see that none of the gems got away.
 The former fighter carried them in side himself from the auto and put them, into his new million dollar safe. He calls it . million dollar safe be- cause it will hold a million dollars worth of stuff if filled to its capacity.

LOOKED LIKE sILER.

An adyenturer recently arrived in New York from South Africa after q remarkable experience among the pugs of that country. He sailed from New York two years ago as a stowa. way with 40 cents in his pocket and when he arrived in Cape Town ke was taken for George Siler, the well known referee, who presided over the Corbett-Fitz battle at Carson City. He did not correct the mistake of the South African sporting men but soon agreed to referee several glove con tests of importance. In time he clear ed up $15.0O0 in various ways and he then took French leave. Along Broad way the other day the man was showing his roll and telling his story with much satisfaction.

 THE DIAMOND
SITE IS CHOSEN
Ths Reid Farm Out East Will F. the New Stamping Ground
 For Base Ball.

There was a sigh of relief preached over the, telephone wire this morning as Manager Harry Durant of the Wa terbury base ball team sent word to the sporting writer of the Democrat that the new base ball grounds had at last been discovered. After months of weary dickering in every section of the city, racing from north to south and from east to west, the prospectors have brought lp at Maurice Reids farm in the eastern section of the city, where the diyining rod struck oil It took few days to come to terms, but this morning everything was settlec satisfactorily, and the coming sumnle. all lovers of base ball will have chance to enjoy base ball where on many Sundays they relished the juicy -clams, with side dishes of chicken and Holsters. The new field is on the farm where these happy clambakes have been held and Is situated very adyan- tageously for all the coming patrons of the game. Work mas already begun on the grand stands and bieechers, which will be moved out to the new field in sections just as soon as completed The grounds are just about one mile and a half from the center of the city and much nearer than the local man | agement expected they would be able | to locate them. They are on the Che shire line, so that residents of Meriden Southingt0n, Cheshire and other places along the trolley route will have an ap portunity to get to the field and wit ness the games.
 Now about those season tickets They are on sale for $20 each and there are only fifty of them. This $20 giyes you $28 worth of games, and we could easily go down the line and name you fifty of the old base ball cranks who ought to get those bits of pasteboarf right away. While the hackers oi the team have plenty of money witt which to get everything ill readiness still that little bunch that would coms from season tickets would go lonf ways toward advance money to play CTS and other incidentals that were no thought of. If you don't get in on thai first fifty you can't get in at all, foi no more season tickets can be issued So get busy, you base ball cranks, ant let us see just how much you do wan base ball. &
 Two more players have been signed by Manager Durant in the persons ol Fred G. Clark. an outfielder, and VII liam Piel, an inhelder, who played las season with the New York Centra league. Waterbury wants to begin thu season with a rush and the local man agement is making every effort to lant some premier players.

GOT Al SCARE.

Philadelphia, Pa. Feb. 1T-Follow- CTS of boxing in this city had scare at the Washington Sporting club yes terday afternoon when Terry Cleary collapsed in the fourth round of bout with Fred Douglas of Savannah. The first round was too mild to suit the crowd or the officials and In the sec ond round Douglas was urged by the club managers to stop his wrestling and clinching and -cut loose" He did so, and early in the fourth round CIeary was sent to the mat. He tried to clinch after that. but twice fell from weakness. finally rolling over un- conscious. T7
 It was fully half an hour before Cleary had sufficiently recovered to he able to leave the ring. Meanwhile Douglas was held In the ring and was not permitted to go until the author. ities were assured that Cleary would not have to go to hospital.

LAWSON SPEAKS UP.

Charles Lawson. the Naugatucll wrestler, writes to the Springfield Union from Worcester regarding the chance for a meeting with A. T. Lacy of Adams as follows:
 T see by your paper that Lacy's manager says that Lacy will meet me and will agree to throw me three times in an hour providing I make 1l2 pounds as stated In my challenge. Now, If Mr Lacy or his manager will spare few moments and read my challenge over carefully I don't think that anyone will find where I said I would make 112 pounds. stated that would meet Lacy at 120 pounds In a straight match, or if he will agree to throw me three times in an hour at catch weights will wrestle him for s200 a side. That is just what said and will back 1t up by your paper. If Lacy wishes to meet me at catch weights let him post forfeit with the sporting editor of the Union and l will cover 1t. I will wrestle. winner take all of the gate receipts.

WAS IF FIXED?

Since the fiasco in City hall Thurs day night many stories have begun to circulate through the city and some of the stories are told without any effort at coricealment Some of the sports assert outright that the match be tween O'Connell and Cnaki was fixed between the two men themselves. Dick Howell. manager of Cnaki, or rather ex-manager now, is in no way implicated in the fixing and the stor- les say that he was given the cold deal just as was a whole lot of Cnaki's friends. This story may not be true, but still it would be hard to convince any person who has followed the game, and who has seen CnaA wrestle. that his quitting was not a peculiar thing. There should be pro viso in any future wrestling matches in this city that any wrestler who quits will not receive one cent of mon ey, and the referee should disqualify both men if, in his opinion, the men are working queerly. This may be giving the referee very great powers, but it is the only way to fix things so
 
 that the public will be protected. If 1t can be proven that O'Connell and Cnaki did make deal to fool the pub lie on Thursday night they should be obliterated from athletic contests in New England. It is dollars to nickeis that if Dick Howell can discover any such thing someone down Bridgeport way will be made to walk pretty close line. There Is no doubt but Dave Cronan over in the Brooklyn Athletic club could probably tell a few things if, he wished, and even before the match of Thursday evening he was thinking strongly of coming out In print and telling what he knew. nor about the Cnaki and 0'Connell match, but about O'Connell in past dealings.
