100000 JAPs STARVING.
Famine I'm Island Empire Reported
Growing Daily.


The New York State branch of the
American National Red Cross has issued
"a statement as to famine conditions in
Japan.
THE famine in Japan" the statement
says, (which has been considered for some
time moderately serious, is now known,
as the result of reliable private advices
received by the New York State Red
Cross, to be one of the most terrible star
walton emergencies of modern times.
''The failure Of rice crops, which at one
time was believed to be limited to certain
classes only, in the northern provinces,
has been found to be general in those parts
of Japan, and conservative estimates place
the number of starving japanese at from
100000 to 100000 persons. For those,
owing to extended rains last summer
which have ruined the rice and other food
crops, there is absolutely no relief in sight
until next October, when a new harvest
will be available
las if this were not bad enough, the
present winter has been one of the most
severe in Japan in many years. The sum
of S16,000,000 will be required to save the
japanese country people. This is esti-
mated by allowing for a cost of ten cents
per person per day."
A special meeting of the japanese fam
inc committee has been called for Mon
day. The committee is now considering
whether it is wise to undertake the collec-
ton and transportation of food as well as
money. Already two food experts from
Japan have been asked to prepare food
list showing what American staples can
be used

The fans will warm to him for he is fast and a good sticker.
 Secretary Farrell of the National association has announced that "Cooney" Rice of Cornell has accept ed the terms of the Waterbury man agement, and that means more good luck. Rice is a crackerjack and no mistake and at second he will have no peer in this league. He will prob ably report before the college season is over, as he is under no restric- tions now to play with Waterbury.
 Perry Thackera, who will catch for the local team this season, has met with some very hard luck. Mrs Thackera was buried yesterday in Philadelphia, and the fans all over the state sympathize deeply with him. He will report with the others next Tuesday.

played on the Waterbury state league

About four years ago similar league was organized in the high school by Prof Grafton and it was we'll appreciated by the students. Each class had fairly good teani and the games were we'll attended. The fight for the championship was between the sophomores and juniors, but as the league was started late in the season the final game was not played before the school term closed.
 Red" Moran, who was the twirler for the "sophs," is now occupying the box at Niagara. Charlie O'Con- nor, the captain of the team, is also at Niagara, as is Tom McGrath, who played the initial bag. Others whp were in the league are Joe Murray and Roger Dawson of Holy Cross, Billy" Mccarthy of Brooklyn: Henry Cooke, who has position ir Scovill's; Joe Daily, who is in busi- ness with his brothers on Bank street; Joe Walsh and John Ryan of Niagara; Maurice Culhane, employed at Fitzmaurice's shoe store; Sunny O'Brien of Niagara, Ed Noofiatl of the University of Virginia, Jack Me Grath of Niagara, Jack SpellmaIl of this city, Andrew Dawson of the University of Washington; Waite: Kenyon, employed in McLinden's drug store, and Edward Fitzgerald, who is with Upson & Singleton; Mort Tracy, who is at the Gunnery school, and Michael Blansfield, who recently completed the law course in south ern university. Billy Spain is earn ing laurels at Villa Nova and many more of those who journeyed to Browns lots during the summer that the league was in existence are scat tered through colleges around the country.
 The organization is just the thing to boom athletics, as a large amount of enthusiasm will undoubtedly be in evidence. The captain of the regu lar team has not as yet been elected

BASEBALL NOTES.

The St Joseph T. A. soclety's junloi baseball team would like to arrange I game with Crosby High school team for Good Friday. Call or write te John Corden, Manager, St Joseph's 1t A. society. 199 East Main street. Unglaub, a former Eastern league player, who was offered s2,200 by Boston, has signed with the Will Transport club in the outlaw league for $2,250.
 Hobe Ferris. the 0lneyville boy who plays with the Boston Ameri- cans, and who is with them on the southern trip and who has not sign ed a contract for the coming year, says he will not do so until the team returns to Boston. Money consider ations are said to be the reasons.
 In a total of ten games the colts of the Cincinnati team made 47 runs to their opponents 34.
 Penney at first base, Abbaticchio at second, Bridwell at short and Brain at third looks like pretty nifty infield.
 Breitenstein and Phillips pitched against their old team last Sunday in New Orleans. The Reds were out batted, but won the game.
 Grifflth has a collection of likely infielders, but there are no indica- tions from the southland that Jimrly Williams is to be relegated to a util- ity rule.
 The following statement by Fred Penney will make other managers rub their eyes and turn green with envy: "we lost only one day in Jack sonville owing to bad weather"
 The Pittsburg club is to have ar electric massage machine in the clubhouse. Immediately following visits of the New Works to Pittsburg machine to massage out mental soreness would be more useful.

Three thousand people were present when the match began and 2,000 were on the outside clam bring for admission. The first style was at Graeco-Roman and after one of the most desperate struggles seen on the mat in Massachusetts Mcleod threw Lundin ill fourteen miEates and thirty seconds. When the men came on the mat for the second bout Lundin went after his man like a shot out of gun. Mcleod would not give ground and again were the thousands present treated to fierce combat. Lundin at the end of tWen- ty minutes and thirty seconds se- cured part hammer and scissors hold and the plucky Mcleod went .t;: the mat for the second fall. The men tossed for choice of style for the third fall and Lundin was the winner and chose Graeco-Roman Another battle of giants took place and after nineteen minutes and thi.- ty seconds of exciting work Lundin secured the third and deciding fall and the match. It was the greatest match ever seen in this part of the country.
