BASKETBALL NOTES.

The Crosby High basketball team journeys to Springfield today to play a return game with the High school five of that city. The last game here about two weeks ago resulted in a victory for the visitors and they are likely to win more easily to- night on their own floor as one of Waterbury's regular players is out of the game and the team work will be handicapped considerably.
 Middletown High and Gilbert High have each won one game and the final contest will be played in a short time. In all probability the winner will play Crosby for the championship of the state.
 Perhaps the manager of the Mid dletown team will tell the All-Water- bury quintet to go and get reputa- tion. -
 Will the High school boys and the All-Waterbury team play series for the championship of the city. The games last year wer hair raisers and drew out large crowds.

ANOTHER CATCH BET.

The following question has been decided so often that it seems scarce ly necessary to repeat the decision. A bet B that he weighs over two hundred pounds. 5 takes the bet. A then takes the two hundred pound weight. places it under the platform of the scales and weighs himself. claiming that he weighed over two hundred pounds B claims the bet because the weight placed under the platform did not weigh tvo hun dred pounds This fs a catch bet and neither man can win Even though the weight did not weigh two hundred pounds. it must be marked somewhere as a two hundred pound weight which would make A the winner, if the bet stood. but 1t Is a catch bet on both sides and the money should De refunded to each man

Sheppard until last year was only mediocre ranner, able to do a mile in about 4:40. A year ago he was granted the privilege of training with the University of Pennsylvania milers on Franklin field. He soon made the Quaker stars look like nov. ices and before the year was over had established . record of 1859 for the half mile. 4;2s 2-5 for the mile and s:5s for the two miles. His work in the two miles was all the more remarkable. since 1t was the first time he had ever run this distance and was made on the afternoon in which he had previously won both . haIf-mile and mile race. Sheppard entered the University of Pennsylvania last fall. but did not remain after the first week, though he had passed all his entrance examinations. Sheppard is now . member of the Irish A. A. c.

 For several days arrangements have been under way to have the wrestlers decide their dispute in this city.

BIG WRESTLING BILL.

Wrestling promoters are stilf con- fident that there is no end of inter- est in that sport. despite the fzzle that came out of the match between George Bothner and Abraham Kazzi. It is now proposed to bring Har- vey Parker and George Bothner to- gether in match at 138 pounds
 ringside. They will appear in semi
 windup to a finish bout between
 Fred Beell, the Wisconsin boy who
 has the credit of a fall over Tom Jenkins, and John Fleming, ''the Butcher Boy who has been in re- tirement for the past year.
 It will be the New York public's first chance to see Beell, and no doubt after his great showing against Jenkins last summer he will prove a big attraction, and on the result of the bout will depend the making of a match with Jenkins for the championship of AmericS. Beell weighs about 160 pounds in condi- tion, and according to wrestling ex- perts is the most adept wrestler now before the public, and is picked by many to defeat Jenkins.
 Bothner and Parker have agreed to their match. and Beell has em- powered his representative to sign the articles of agreement for him with Fleming.
 After details are completed it is intended to hold the show at Grand Central Palace in about three weeks.
