BASKET BALL
GREAT INTEREST IN GAME NEXT
 THURSDAY.
Seats Go on Sale This Evening The Y. M. c. A. Cham
 pionship.

'
 The big basketball game between the Bristol Delphis and the Crescents of Paterson, N. J., which will take place on Thursday night at Eagles hall will be witnessed by several hun dred basketball inthusiasts from Bris- tol. Manager Charles Barker of the Delphis has made arrangements with the Consolidated road to run special train of ten cars to this city. The re- turn trip will be made at 11:30 o'clock and BristOl's sports hope to take home a good deal more money than they had on arriving.
 The game will undoubtedly be an usually fast one, as the professional rules call for quick and snappy work from the time the whistle blows. Fouls are not so numerous as under the am ateur rules and the chances for rough work are always taken advantage of. The officials in game governed by professional rules have to keep almost as active as the players and the fact that few of the referees in this vicin- ity have a working knowledge of the game as played professionally has made the task of securing officials a rather difficult one. Two men from Massachusetts, where professional basketball is more in vogue, will in all probability be secured.
 Tickets for the game will go on sale this evening In Duncan's drug store on East Main street. The west gal lery will be reserved for Waterbury and the east gallery and entire bal cony for Bristol and Terryville. Be heath the galleries temporary seats will be erected for all others who de- sire to see the game.

THE DIAMOND
OPENING OF THE SEASON ON
 FRIDAY.
Strong Newark Team of the Eastern League Will Be Here
 Sunday Games.

. All lanes, avenues, roads and troll ley routes will lead direct to the new ball field on Friday, when the first professional ball game that has been played here in a couple of seasons will be inaugurated. All the old fans will be out there with their cheers for the good plays and their hoots for the bad ones. Everybody will want to get line on the new players signed by Manager Durant for the season that is about to open. All of them will be given a try-out, and such a medley of base ball will never be witnessed again on the local diamond. The team that will be the strong attraction will be the Newarks of the Eastern league. They have been praeticing for some weeks and will be in excellent condition to stack up against Durant's pets. The latter may give them trouble, however, and o fthe local manager if by some chance Waterbury would turn the trick. It is only a ride of about ten minutes to the new ball field and the cars will run just as often as the crowds want them. Get your lungs in good condition and go out there and give the local players such a sendoff that they will feel bound to play their best if they don't take the victory.
 Thousands of people focked out to the grounds yesterday and watched l the operations. Busy as bees were the workmen and the transformation in a weeks time has been marvel. ous. All the cars had on signs read
 ing "To the Ball Grounds" and the great majority who went out there took advantage of the nice day tc see just what the new field is going to be like. All were satisfied thai there has been no exaggeration as tc
 the beauty of the grounds when com pleted. The grand stand is nearing completion and the arrangements are so perfect that even from the top
 most seat every ball hit, no matter
 how high in the air, can be seen tc advantage. The bleachers may no,
 be in position on Friday, but tha
 may be possible, too, with the bus ! ting that is going on out there. Int
 ball field itself will be ready, as vii
 the grand stand apd the fence whict
 will surround the field.

ten that trouble in San Francisco, and l was going to show the world that Thomas was never in my class. and that I could whip him so quick that 1t would hurry ticker to tell the story. I don't make any defense of my feelings. It was just natural soreness, and was out to wipe mark off the slate. think Tom had an idea that he could trim me, but if he had. it's vanished now, and he knows bet ter, and he knows a few other things. too.
 But to get to business. Charlie White was referee, and he gave us the usual instructions. The gong tapped and went after Thomas. I just felt Tom out to discover if he had learned any rev tricks since I'd seen him last. and found he hadn't. tapped him here and there. and took a little one or two. just to encourage him. Then I went after him and drove him around a bit, making neat little re- marks to him. crossed a right over to him and it jared him all through, for I could see him vince. Then 1 got just a wee bit careless. and Tom hand- cd me one that caught me of my bal- snce. I was upswith the sound of the gong.
 The next round-and the last-T was a little bit sore, and I started out to show Thomas how little he knew of the fighting game splattered few into Toms ribs. and he went back like he was facing heavy sea. An upper cut or two. and then some more rib coasters. The left to the stomach and a few more punches here and there. Then a swing took Tom down and dropped him. He took the full count. and got up feeling pretty small. If can read a mans eyes. went after him with both hands. and in no time al all I had him hanging on to me. Then shook him of and put fev more over and handed him that neat affair in the solar plexus. following # with the left again to the jaw. Thst finished Tom. and he dropped ike . poleaxed COW.

BILLY BRADY WINS.
Appellate Division AfiirIns Judgment
 Awarded by the Lower Court.

New York. April 9.-The suit of William A. Brady against J. c. Ken nedy and Patrick Powers. involving s21,000 was finally determined by the appellate division of the su- preme court Friday. Mir Brady won in the lower court. and, although the order is somewhat modified. this judgment is affirmed.
 Brady sued Kennedy and Powers in 1901 for an accounting, claiming that he had been frozen out of the partnership business of giving bi- cycle exhibitions and races in Madi- son Square Garden. He got judg- ment in the supreme court for s21,- 900.
 Kennedy and Powers appealed. giving a bond, and the opinion of Friday orders that settlement be made on notice.
 Mir Brady when seen Friday night was highly pleased. but was too busy attaching his name to a stack of ST. 900 bonds isued in connection with his Coney Island enterprises to dis cuss the matter at length

NO "sCAB" PITCHER.

Newark. \. j.. April 9-The threat ened trouble between organized labor and the Newark Baseball club was averted yesterday. a temporary truce being declared. The labor unions had several hundred pickets in front and fin the neighborhood of the ball park to warn union men to stay away from the game between Newark and the Philadelphia Athletics if the Newark team attempted to use Pitcher Car rick fin the game or at practice.
 carrick was not in uniform. Repre- sentatiyes of the Polishers' and Buff fers' union and directors of the club held a conference shortly before the game and the latter decided not to play Carrick until some kind of settle ment is reached. The labor men then bought tickets, went in and enjoyed the game.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.

A bout which was most interesting while it lasted took place yesterday afternoon out near the East Mountain reservoir, being witnessed by large crowd of those who like to see battle now and then. The principals were Kid Shea and Henry Galway and it is lucky that the latter hurt his arm in the second round for the police got wind of the affair and arrived shortly after the encounter was stopped.
 The stake was for $50, there being also considerable betting. Shea had all the better of the first round but it was pretty even in the second until the accident happened. .
 It is said that couple of weeks ago Shea defeated Abe Fondillo in a twenty round bout held in barn near Baldwin Hill.

SATURDAY BALL GAMES.

NEW YORK. April 9.--Solemnly the Yale frog croaked gleeful gurgle of satisfied ambition at the Polo grounds when Camp. the bespectacled, square shouldered second baseman. charged down the base path from third to home and crossed the plate with the first run against the Giants. ..
 "F0r we didn't expect to win. far be it from that" confided first year man who had travelled down from New Ha- ven to watch the nine. but we did want to score. It is better to have scored and lost than never to have scored at all" Even that was not all the story of Yale's success, as the deer footed and stalwart athletes of Old Eli's school, O'Brien and Kinney, crossed the home plate before the task of beating them was completed.
 All told the Giants made ten runs. It doesn't matter much how they made them. It may add a triHe to his- tory to say that they got their first three because Jackson Rusie couldn't locate the plate. and the other seven were the result of good batting and base running. Score, 10 to3.

the rest of the night. We'll. After Charlie White had given us our in- structions, made up my mind then and there that I'd try rushing tac- tic or two, and feel Gus out, and thus give him a chance to show how hard he could hit, and just how we'll he could keep his head when the going was fast. We went together right of the reel, and I kept close to him. ,ust failing away and fumbling now and then to give him chance to show whether he would take fair shot if it was given him. I found him hard, tough young fellow, willing to keep right close to me, and slug with all his heart. He handed me a few choice swings that rocked my head. end when I dusted him again he stood light up and pushed me back to the ropes.
 I'd got his measure by the end of the first round, and in the second l tegan to try out his wind. knew I had him from the moment the gong tapped and the hooks I tossed Into his stomach were warm ones. kept this up during the third. varying it with a few straight lefts and some few crosses until I think had Gus won- cering just where he was going to get it next. could see he was weak from the punishment he was taking. and he had hurt me a little, too. Gus has a punch of sorts. It isn't a cham pIonship punch. however, but 1t will lar a good man just the same. couldn't escape all of them. and took what was coming my way. In the fourth round 1 took out after Gus and drove him across the ring. just to rat tie him. and then 1 bluffed that 1 was tired and dropped my head bit. Some easy mark in Gus's corner yelled out:
 Hes gone. Gus. Go after him
 And poor Gus did. That was where l strengthened up and pelted Mr. Rah- lin clear across the ring and brought him down on the mat near the ropes. The gong saved Gus that time. but vas In no hurry. as I knew just where Gus lived. and could call and get him any time. In the fifth I played with him-snyone will tell you that, but they don't knov shy. perhaps. I'll tell yoa right here. could have put him away in the first ten seconds of the fight. but I wanted to give him 4 chance t0 get himself together and show what there was h him I held him safe every minute.

thinks, regardless of consequences.
From his own viewpoint he is so sim
cere and so much in earnest, SO genu-
inc in his own rough way, that in his
eyes the art of ingratiating oneself in
the good opinions of men has in it not
only an element of subtle selfishness.
but of sham as well. His honesty may
be savage, and he may enforce his
opinions with a rhetorical club, but he
at least leaves nobody In doubt as to
what he means, and he stands for the
thing he is. He may be brutal, even
coarse, in his statements, but he hits
hard and fights fair. He may shock
and offend his own friends and by lack
of tact place ammunition In the hands
of his enemies, but he succeeds in chal-
longing attention for his principles,
and perhaps that Is what he desires.
The ruggedness and vigor of his
style, his homely illustrations. his utter
lack of diplomacy, the candor with
which he announces views that other
men who entertain the same opinions
think it the part of wisdom to with
hold, the bluntness with which he
puts forth ideas that he knows to be
to those held by his audience,
the vitriolic character of some of his
and manner that from
its very forcefulness closely approaches
the spectacular and sensational, all
these things may attract or repel, ac-
cording to the character of the hearer
but they cannot be ignored. They have
created the popular conception of Till
man, but have they done him justice?
