The work of dismantling the old
steamship Luzon at Point Isabel,
mention of which was made some
time ago in the columns of THE
HERALD, has just about been COM
pleted and none too soon it seems
for several men have been kept
busy pumping water out to keep
her from sinking while Mr.. Rem
dali was taking out the machinery.
1t is understood the engines will
be brought to Brownsville pending
final disposition while the hull
will be condemned as worthless.

The kindergarten conducted by
Mrs. Perdomo opened Monday
with a very fair attendance of tiny
tots. The Inauguration of a kinder
Garten in Brownsville marks a new
era in the history of educational
events in this place. The tiny tots
who enjoy the privilege of taking
their first steps towards acquiring
all education under the kinder
garten are to be congra tulated. A
good kindergarten teacher is like
a/fairy god mother, who gives to
the little ones under her charge the
gift of seeing and doing things,
who develops the senses of the lit
tie ones and trains them.

 McEnroe, the new shortstop, is a i New Haven boy and has been play. ing with Danbury. Tommy Lawlor says there is no better in the league than this same McEnroe, but wheth- CT he will give up his Danbury en- gagement to play professional ball is another thing.
 If Manager Durant wants a man to help Thackara out in the hard work of this week, there is no doubt but that Mike slavin would jump into the breach. He would be of good assistance, too, for he can give some of the backstops in this league few pointers on the game.

 Jim O'Rourke's standard of sports manship can't be very high when he protests on any snch techincality as he Is putting forward in trying to get a double win for yesterday. If the teams were willing to chance 1t on the second game. Jim ought to be man enough to abide by the result Springfield Union.
 The suggestion made by the writer some weeks ago and taken up by Manager Danaher of New Haven. that New Britain and Meriden sup plant Norwich and New London. is being generally adopted throughout the circuit Even our contemporaries recognize the fact that when you see it in the Democrat 1t must be so.
 The rules say that every champion ship game must be begun at least two hours before sunset. Once the game Is started. the umpire is the sole judge as to whether 1t Is light enough to continue. Jim O'Rourke will find he has about the same chance with the directors as yellow pup has in Springfield nowadays Springfield Union.
 If Jim o'Rourke is going to resort to technicaiities to win both those games of yesterday. then let us rake up a few technicalities ourselves. Murphy pitched the game which Bridgeport really won by the score of g to g. Waterbury can claim that game because Murphy is barred from this leagae by his act of playing with Manchester. Jim O,Rourke helped to make that rule. nov let him en- force it, and if he does he will lose both games. Give Jim O'Rourke a dose of his ovn medicine and see ho~ he enjoys 1t. Bah. he a sport, he's q dead one in Waterbury forever more.

Beastly hard luck.
 We have reached the anxious point.
 Another game that will be dis puted and Waterbury is in the dis pute.
 Jim o'Rourke forgets the fact that Manager Durant would not forfeit the first game in this city when o'Rourke refused to play two games.

 Even the secretary of the league is not adverse to trying sharp meas ures to win a game. How 1t must have grated on Jim's nerves to have an umpire punish his team right in his own village. too.
 Arthur Nichols will In all prob ability be asked to umpire the two City league games next Sunday. His work last Sunday gave general sat- Isfaetion and there was not the sem biance of an objection.

THE FARCE GAME.

Irrespective of the merits of the disputed game the second session which Waterbury claims was forfeit cd to t-.pin by Umpire Watson and was one of the second of the double headers, was tiresome to look upon. In the second inning Waterbury found that Levy was n juicy plum. Tn his behalf 1t must be said that errors were made by Jimmy O'Rourke and Phoenix that assisted the visitors and after that Levy was found easy. The two misplays placed men on bases and then McEnroe cracked out a homer. clearing the bases. Levy went up in the air and Rogers was hot and singles were cracked out by John Walsh and Swander adding two more runs or a total of five in that inning. After that inning the Orators played to delay the game and prevent five innings from being finished. In the fourth inning they made errors on purpose and threw wild and made every kind of misplay. On the other hand the Waterbury team attempted to get out and swung at the ball and ran but they were not put out. The tiresome play was called to a stop by the umpire at the ending of the fourth inning. Waterbury had ten runs in at that time. They had made eleven hits to two of Bridgeport on Rogers. At the last Innings tile small boys crowded on the grounds and tilere was all kinds of delays in clear ing the field.
 At the conclusion of the game Capt QHagan asked Umpire Watson who had no reason to have any respect for the Waterbury captain, If the game was forfeited to him.
 "The game is called. You can call 1t whnt you please" was all the an swer the umpire gave.

ALL WATERBURYS
 GETTING READY
Managers Slavin and Cronin Have Corralled a Bunch of Fast
 Ones.

As the baseball season Is slowly drawing to close. for there will be but another month of it, the football adherents are coming to the front and Waterbury as usual wiif be we'll represented on the gridiron. Manager Mike Slavin will assume the reins of government once more and he will be assisted by that hustling footballist, Lew Cronin, than whom there is no better i'd any amateur team in the state. The management has secured the state league grounds on which to play their gaines which will be another pleasing feature to the lovers of football. The grounds will be SO arranged that the bleach CTS will be in the center of the field and every person sitting in the grand stand will be able to see every play on the field.
 The following will make a try for the team and from this talent there should be secured team that can give all the others in. the state a thorough drubbing: Burns. Egan, I.awlor, Dan Cronan, Shields. Reilly, Higgins, Benson, Neary. Spellman, Stowe. Hannon. Palmer. Mahaney Brant, Newhart, Sheehan. Hayes, Welcome, Hoffman, Rabbit. From this list 1t will be seen that there are several new men on the team, Dan Cronan. Rabbit. Benson. Well come, Palmer and Neary. George Waite will referee all the games in this city and a meeting will be held fin about a week to select coach. The choice may fall again upon Har- " Batcheler, who last year made such a success of the team.
 among the teams which will play here this season will be the For Haniilton team of New. York. who wf)t open the season with the locals on October 1. The other teams sign ed are the Naugatuck Acorns. Bridge porf Nonpareils. New Haven. Fort Tefry. Fort slocum, Reveres of Re- vere Mass, Franklin A. C. of New Hsven and many others, The locals viU berin the season under the new rules. but will play all the other taues under the old rules Under inc new rules all the games would aImost sure result in tie games as t would be almost impossible to make ten yards in four downs. The first game Is being played under the new new rules to show the people just what it is like.
 Tommy Lawlor will captain the team again this season, which meats that harmony will exist In the team ana the boys will play for all that is in them. AIl-Waterbury won the champIonship of the state last season and they are out to do it again thlE season. They won nine out Of In, ten games played and as they ex- u,rt to be much stronger this season they ought to make pretty near clean sweep.

 The one game that was played to finish was captured easily by the Orators. Murphy was in the box for the locals and was effective enough to make it an easy win. but he did not pitch as well as he did when he went up against Norwich and won that double-header last week. Be- sides that he was given good support, the two errors scored against the To- calls did not effect the rtin-getting d the visitors Voorhees, and Hughes were the battery that started In against Bridgeport. but they. were soon superceded by Treat and Thack- ara. In the third Hughes reached out to take in wide curve and split his right hand. Thackara was called in, and Treat being one of his pitchers, Voorhees, was also benched. The score: sss.sas
