 News.

Give us a fine day, say the fans, and we will pile out to that new ball field tomorrow afternoon prepared to do a whole lot of roofing for the Waterbury boys. The outfield is the only bad spot out there now, but that will be in good condition by to-mor- row when the game is called. The grand stand is ready for it's occi:- pants and so are the bleachers. The fence is rapidly nearing completion and it is possible that some of the workmen. will be employed by the aid of lanterns and candles to get everything in readiness for to-mor- row. Newark, that strong Eastern league combination, is coming, filled with all sorts of prophecies of what
 her players will do to Waterbury. Perhaps she will, and then again per haps she won't. At any rate Water bury will be given a good try-out. All her men will be given chance to show what is in them, and then will begin the wedding process, for all who have signed realize that some will have to go by the boards.

O'BRIEN AND FITZ.

| -g.ls .O'BRIEN AND FITZ. . sA, r New York. April 12.-Jack O'Brien and Bob Fitzsimmons are going to fight again. They met yesterday in the Metro- pole for the first time since their battle in San Francisco, and in the presence of group of prominent Broadway sportsmen both agreed to sign articles to mix matters up for twenty rounds before Tom O'Rourke's Tuxedo club in Essington, Pa.
 Bob and Jack both look pretty fit and when they entered the hotel cafe yesterday and took their seats at a table there was quite buzz of interest from the habitues of the place. In the party were Nat Good win, Tom 0'Rourke. John and George Considine, Eddie Burke and Edward Counsellor of London.
 Eitz was the aggressor In the con- versation and he waxed eloquent early in the action.
 "Td like a fight to a finish" he said, but as 1 want to fight at 0'Rourke's club I want to fight twenty rounds"
 Why not fifteen rounds?" said 0'Brien. "0f course think the fight will reach the same conclusion it did before, but l do think that any man can show what he can do in fifteen rounds"
 "oh, pifie," said O'Rourke, or words to that effect. "lf you fight, fight twenty rounds. The people want to see you fellows scrap. and if it's known that you'll go something of distance we'll get just that much bigger house. So, make 1t twenty. I'll offer s25.000 purse. and a per- centage of the gate receipts"
 "I never felt better in my life" said Fitz. looking around to see how his boast was affecting his audience. When I fought you before, Jack, my mind wasn't just right-I was troubled. Lately I've been living a fine life-early to bed and early to rise. and all the rest of 1t. And my home life's settled and peaceful and happy. and I feel like can lick any man that ever walked. So I'd like to go as long a distance with you as I can"
 "oh. very we'll. make it twenty. :" said O'Brien. tits all the same to me" and he nonehalantly tossed off a bumper Of White Rock.
 "Yery we'll. gentlemen" said Tom O'Rourke, we'll meet here next Sat- uriay at noon and make all the ne- cessary arrangements and sign pa pers."
 Both of the fighters agreed to this and they both promised to be ia the Mefropcle al the appointed time and put their signatures to the necessary articles
 ~This'n be my last fight said Bot Fitzsimmons. -I know I'm an old man-that is. an old fighter older than any other living man vho still has the nerve to call himself a pueilis;. but ! want to win back my

THE PUGILlSTS
M'GARRY FURNISHED A SUR.
 PRISE LAST NIGHT.
Adam Ryan Took the Count in the Tenth Round-0'Brien and
 Fitzsimmons.

Essington, Pa, April 12.-Out- pointed in seven out of nine rounds in the star bout at the Tuxedo club last night, Amby McGarry of New York came back in the tenth round as strong as bull and knocked out Adam Ryan of Philadelphia, in one of the best contests ever seen here.
 Both men fought we'll and the last few rounds were of the whirl- wind order. More than fifteen hun- dred men saw the fight, three hun dred of them having arrived in the O'Rourke Special from New York.
 McGarry was clearly nervous in the first round. He started off at a three-round limit pace, while Ryan was content to feel out his man. Mac started dozen wild swings, but Ryan blocked them all and let the youngster do all the work.
 The second was slightly in favor of Nc Garry, who seemed to regain his confidence, but Ryan started work in the third and with straight lefts jolted Mac time and again.
 In the clinches Ryan used an eff
 
 Amby appeared to retain his strength.
 In the fourth McGarry came out with rush. He swung both hands repeatedly to the body and head, but Ryan appeared to be holding himself in reserve.
 Both men fought hard in the fifth, with honors slightly in favor of Ryan. The veteran escaped Me Garry's rushes and shot in lefts to the head and straight rights to the body. The sixth was all McGarry and had the battle ended there even the youthful New Yorker would have been entitled to the decision, as he showered blow after blow on Ryan during the full three minutes. Me- Garry evidently was proving big surprise to the Philadelphia sports. The seventh was another hummer, but in the eighth Ryan drew city block ahead, and with left swings to the head and clean rights to the heart, had McGarry in distress. In the ninth it also looked bad for Me- Garry. The tenth round was one of the greatest ever seen in this city. Me- Garry, although beaten at this stage, came out like a cyclone. He landed a fearful right to the jaw and Ryan crashed against the ropes. Referee Recap counted four and Ryan arose. The New York delega tion wildly cheered him on left to the body, and Ryan staggered to the ropes. He was fioored with a right to the jaw and although he worked hard to get up inside the count, Ro- cap tolled off ten and declared the novice the winner.

NIAGARA BOYS COMING.

Manager Edward P. Mellen of the Niagara university base ball team writes as follows to the Democrat about the coming of his team to Wa terbury:
 "On Monday, April 23, the Niagara university base ball team will make it's initial apearance to its many friends in Waterbury when it crosses bats with Manager Durant's men at the new ball park.
 Niagara has been the amateur champion of western New York for a number of years past and this sea son is coming east looking for new victories The fact that Waterbury has representatives on the team lends a new interest to the game. Jack Moran of City league fame will no doubt be in the box for Niagara. Bill Dwyer, also of this city, will cover center for the college boys, and the bat, Bill is sure to make good as he is considered the find of the season as willow artist.

THE PRESIDENTS PASS.

Washington, April 12.-The most handsome baseball pass ever issued in the world is soon to be present. ed to President Roosevelt by Presi- dent Ban Johnson of the American league. It is party" pass that will lsAptitle the president tp4 see any game The cares to see in the entire circuit, and will permit him to take anyone he cares to take.
 "All congress may go on that pass if the president sees fit," says King Ban.
 This pass, embossed in gold, is inclosed in a seal case, on the out side of which is a monogram of the president, "T. R." in solid gold. The pass bears the legend, Theodore Roosevelt and party, complimentary
 Only fifty of these party passes are issued by the league. Three are given to each club in the league and the remaining twenty-six are given to President Johnson for disposal. It is one of these, especially printed, that is designed for the nations chief executive. Officials of the Washing ton club will soon make an appoint ment at the white house for the pur- pose of presenting this gift to the president and inviting him to enjoy the games at any time.
 A special box for. the personal use of the president and his party is be- ing built on the grandstand at the Washington park, next to the press box. The president has not, hereto fore, been frequent visitor to ball games. but Congressman Longworth and Miss Alice Roosevelt, now Mrs Longworth, were regular attendants last season at the Washington park, where they were we'll known figures.

South Eastern North Dakota Teachers
Association Do not Think
Paw IL HIGH Enough.

South Eastern North Dakota Teachers
Association Do not Think
Pay is High Enough.
The following are parts Of the reso-
buttons adopted by the South Eastern
North Dakota Educational association,
in session at Valley City:
Resolved. that 1t is the sense of the
association that teachers should strive
through definite channels to bring the
school and home into closer co-opera-
ton. and should hold our boys and
girls in school by making school of
vital relation to life; that every COM
munity owes 1t to themselves as we'll
as the teacher. to uplift their school
by uplifting the teacher, salary being
an essential consideration; that 1t is
prominent duty of the teacher to
strive systematically to formulate
public opinion upon salary and other
matters; and that school officials and
educational institutions should aim to
give the employer a stronger con-
fidence in the professional worth of
those accredited for teaching.
Resolved, that 1t is the opinion of
this association that the interests of
education will be advanced by raising
the compensation of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction, from
$4,000 to an amount more compatible
with the importance and dignity of the
Office. Under the present law county
superintendent may draw as large a
salary as the state superintendent
We respectfully urge that the compen-
sation Of the state superintendent be
substantially increased.
