NEW BRITAIN BEATEN.

Middletown, Oct 20.--The Middle town High school football team broke its record of three tie games yester- dayiafternoon on Andrus field, by de- feating New Britain High school 16 to 0. The local eleven played to s game with New Britain last Satur- day, but yesterday New Britain was completely outclassed at every point, and never threatened the locals line. The Middletown team presented it's strongest lineup and the play in all departments was brilliant. New Britain could not penetrate Middle towns line, and often Cannon and White broke through and stopped plays before they were started. Mid dletown's ends did fine work and spoiled New Britain's forward pass. The work of the local back field was a revelation and New Britain only once held for downs. The forward pass worked successfully and on the first try netted thirty-five yards, Pike throwing the ball to Ross.

THE INDIAN SIGN.

The bout between Young Corbett and Terry McGovern illustrates con clusively the old saying that some pugilists have the Indian sign' on another. This fact has been illus trated strongly In the three bouts ilseidf btttteen these lads. and -dneunctl occasion that the men have met Cor bett has demonstrated superiority, yet Jimmy Britt beats Corbett, and McGovern beats Britt. Surely it is q hard thing to follow dope in the ring, to prove accurate in your surnises when you do so. George Lavinge all ways had 1t on Joe Walcott; Walcott could always beat Dick O'Brlen; Tommy Ryan could always whip Billy Smith; Young Griffo had the Indian sign on Australian Billy" Murphy; Jim Corbett always could whip Joe Choynski.
 l Coming down to more modern times Jim Jefferies has always had, 1t on Tom Sharkey; Fitzsimons can al- ways beat Peter Maher; Willie Fitz- gerald Is built to Sorier for Jimmy Gardner; Honey Melody always fell below the blows of Buddy Ryan; Kid Goodwin; Young Corbett was like chaft in the hands of Battling Nelson. So that the old sporting truism of that a man who can win once, should win on a second try, seems to be borne out by facts.

THE GRIDIRON LOCALS PRAY
 FOR NO RAIN Acorns of Bridgeport Will Meet the AILWaterburys To-
 Morrow.

Unless this heavy rain continues the lovers of football in Waterbury
 and other cities around the state will be given rare treat tomorrow out
 on the State league grounds. The Acorns of Bridgeport will be here with Danny Walker at their head
 and everybody who has seen the Acorns play knows that they are a husky bunch of gridiron line smash CTS. It will be big feather in the
 cap of Danny Walker if he can give the All-Waterburys their first defeat of the season, and he secretly hints that such thing will come to pass. Coach Bagley and Managers Slavin and Cronan say that Danny wil have another think after the All-Water-
 burys get through with his men. George Waite of Naugatuck will off ciate as referee, and all know how he runs game of football. Referee Druehl, who has officiated in all the other games. resigned from the posi- ton as he found it was encroaching on his other business. He was an efficient referee and knew the rules of the book by letter. While many disagreed with him on his decisions he was backed up by football author ity in about every decision he has made. It is the old, old story, a home referee or home umpire can not get into the good graces of the crowd.

THE PUGILISTS TERRY WINS
 ONCE AGAIN hi. Time Ii Wa. a Court Decision -Lucas to Fight in Private
 Other News.

New York, Oct 20.-Terry McGov- ern. the little Brooklyn fighter, won another battle yesterday. He was a prisoner before Magistrate Tighe in the Butler street court charged with assaulting Charles Anderson on Au- gust 27 last. At that time McGov- ern and Anderson got into an alter cation and words were followed by blows. Anderson got an awful drub- ping for his presumption in talking back to such a handy man with his fists and swore out warrant for the redOubtable fighter.
 The police were unable to find Terry until September 25, when he was arrested. He was in training at the time and Magistrate Tighe, was asked to postpone the hearing until after his fight with Young Corbett. Anderson in the meantime became an admirer of Terry and wished him luck in the coming battle. He de- clared that if Terry won over Cor bett there was possibility that the assault charge would be withdrawn. Terry made such a game fight that he was recognized as the winner. Whether this opinion was reached by Anderson or not could not be yer flied, but the complainant failed to appear in court yesterday and Mag istrate Tighe dismissed the charge against the little fighter.

GRIDIRoN NOTES.

Ground nice and soft to-day. Game should prove fast and inter- esting.
 Wonder if Naugatuck will play Waterbury?
 Cadets were to play the NonpareIls in New Haven.
 Number of rooters from Bridge port here tomorrow. George Waite will find refereeing somewhat easier than umpiring ball game.
 Harvard meets the Springfield Training school to-day. the same team that held Yale to 12 points. A number from this city intended to go to New Haven to-day to get a line on the Yale team, which was scheduled to oppose Penn State. 'f Crosby High would have been fin a weakened condition if they had played in Winsted to-day. Their tackles. Chesson and Butterly, would be out of the game, as the former has left school and the latter plays only home games.
 Talk of stopping Sunday football in Seymour The selectmen do not believe in breaking the Sabbath in such manner. The football games are the nearest thing 10 a prize fight in the burg since the night that vallone-Ruetter fight was held there.
 James Foley. the Chicope. Falls boy who was forced to retire from the Holy Gross halfback because of injuries sustained last year, has sprung into prominence as a coach, handling the Holy Cross "preps." Under his direction the team is de- veloping rapidly and great improve ment is being shown. . Fred Crolius of Connecticut league fame. now coach at villanova. says that Princeton will loom up as the strongest football team of the year. He says: "The new rules were made for the Tigers They have mastered half a dozen varieties of the forward pass and are playing more football than any eleven I have seen this year"

Winters took the first fall in and hour and 33 minutes and the second in an hour and 27 min utes. Both falls were obtained on a combination body scissors and arm hold.

 The match was for $200 side and in addition to raking in this amount. Winters followers cleared about $150 on odd bets at the ring side. Philip Powers of the Adams was as good match as has ever been seen in this city. The victory is a booster" for Winters, who is but IS years of age. and has had but three years at the game, while Lacy is an old timer and also has an advantage in weight.
 Although the bout was gruelling one at times. Winters came out of it in fine shape and will be fit for the bout with Chick" Lawson at the simonsville A. C., Waterbury, next Thursday evening. when he expects to throw the Naugatuck boy twice in an hour. The referee for the bout is expected to be named in day or two

"Cymhe,ine' The company numbers
twenty-five this year, and the former play
