HIGH SCHOOL GAMES.

In the first Interscholastic league game Saturday afternoon at Newfield park. Bridgeport, the nine of the New Haven high school made the Bridgeport high nine look like the proverbial 30 cents. There was a large crowd of rooters present, bur they scarcely had a chance to shout for the Bridgeports. The final score was 24 to 2.
 The Watertown high school nine iourneyed to Thomaston Saturday af- ternoon to play It's first game of the season with the Thomaston high school. The Watertown boys were defeated fin close game by a score of II to 10.
 The Hartford high school base ball team lost two games Saturday. In the morning the team went to New Britain and was defeated by the high school of that place. S to i. New Britain scored eight runs in the first two innings. In the afternoon the team was defeated on Trinity field by the Volunteers of Rockville, to 2.
 IL was supposed that the game last week between the Windham high school base ball team and the team from the New London high school team was the first of the Eastern Connecticut High School league, but it is now claimed that the New Lon don team was not in the league. and SO the game Saturday afternoon be- tween the Windham high school team and the Putnam high school team in willimantic was really the first of the league games. Putnam was beat en by the score of Q to 1.

BICYCLING
BILLY FENN MET HIS MASTER
 YESTERDAY.
New Professions Rider Makes All the Old Ones Sit Up and
 Take Notice.

Willie Fenn, erstwhile boy won- der" and aspirant to wrest champion ship honors from Frank Kramer. was twice compelled to trail across the line behind others at the Vailsburg bicycle races yesterday.
 In the five mile open Floyd Krebs, the Flying Dutchman." provided a sensational finish, beating out John Bedell and Fenn by a we'll timed jump. climaxing a tremendous spurt in the last eighth mile.
 Fenn led the bunch at the bell tap and tried to hold the lead over the wire. He was challenged by John and Menus Bedell and the trio raced for keeps into the stretch. They failed to notice Krebs, who came like the wind, and refusing to be denied passed John Bedell almost at the in- stant the latter went ahead of Fenn.
 There appeared at the track yes terday a newcomer in the ranks of professional bicycle riders who gives promise of having his name heralded at the next six day race. He is AL fred Ashurst.
