BASKETBALL GIRLS HURT. Broken leg and Sprained Ankle in
 Normal School Game.

Trenton, \. T., Dec 19.--A broken leg and a sprained ankle. the result of one basketball game between girls the New Jersey State Normal school here recently. are likely to result in a prohibition of the game forever in this school.
 Helen Lee and Julia Goldberg were the martyrs whose misfortunes may rob the school of strenuous athletics. Miss Goldberg. playing certer in a game between High school A class and High school c class. Tn a scrim- mage she sustained a badly spraincd ankle. She was attended by Physical Director IT. B. Royce and sent home for care. Miss Lee had been an m- terestel spectator of the game from the side lines and she volunteered 10 take Miss Goldbcrg's place. No soon- er had the game been resumed than she became the center of a lively skirmish. She cried out in pain. and when the girls were disentangIed she WAS found to have sustained \ compound fracture of the right leg. between the knee and the ankle. So scvere was her injury that she was scmi-eonscious when she was carried to the dressing room.

BOWLING
CASINO HAS

Bowling Matches There Last Night Were More Than Interesting
 to the Crowds.

They are still hocking over to the Casino sporting house to witness the many and varied sport features that take place there every afternoon and evening. There is nothing like 1t in the city and that is the reason the management is always looking for something new and up to date. The bowlers, the skaters, the billiard and pool players all know a good thing when they see and the Casino sport ing emporium has come to be a house. hold word with them all.
 Tonight as an attraction for those who love good skating the manage ment has secured Professor W. IT. Davis, one of the greatest experts on rollers there is in this country. He will exhibit all of the various styles of fancy and trick skating and will also assist any beginner who wants to learn few tricks. The ladies will find him very nice fellow and most pleasurable companion if they want to glide around the hall gracefully.
 The bowling alleys were again in full blast last night as they are every day and night. The "Brassies" were at it again the Brass Goods corpora tion team defeating the American Brass company team of office employ es by the small margin of one pin. It was one of the closest and best fought contests that has ever been witnessed on alleys in this state. The two teams fought nip and tuck and it could not be told which side won un- til the last pin had fallen. To win a contest by the margin of only one pin is sensational ending to any game.

WRESTLING
GOTCH GETS
 SWEET REVENGE
Punishes Frank Beell and Then Defeats Hin More News sf
 Crapplers.

At Kansas City, Mo, Monday night, Frank Gotch won back the champion ship laurels he lost at New Orleans Thanksgiving day, when he defeated Fred Beell of Winconsin. American champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler, in straight falls.
 Gotch won the first fall In 19 min- utes, AS seconds, with an English crosslock. throwing Beell over his head and lighting with his knees squarely on the Wisconsin mans shoulders. The fall dazed Beell, who struck heavily on the back of his head and the matter of pinning him to the mat required but a few ef- forts. Beell tried to bridge, but his efforts were weak.
 Gotch won the second fall in 37 minutes with crotch and half Nell son. In the second round Beell was on the defensive at all times. He never had Gotch in a dangerous posi- tion. Repeatedly Gotch tried his famous toe, hold and as often the Wisconsin man broke 1t. Gotch's weight told throughout the bout.
 Beell weighed 161 pounds and Gotch tipped the scales at 197. After the bout Gotch said his one ambition was to meet George Hackenschmidt for the championship of the world. Gotch said he would go to Europe for match if Hack refused to come here.

This feeling of unrest hits both Senator Dryden and Senator Wetmore particularly hard, and, in the judgment of conservative observers, renders their reelection somewhat problematical.
 It is regarded as just possible that Burnham may be reelected in New Hampshire, but he will know he has been in a fight when he gets through. For many years the Boston and Maine railroad practically has dom- mated the politics of New Hampshire. Senator Chandler defed the railroad and was defeated. Winston Church. i'll. the novelist, sprang into the breach last summer and made a lot of trouble for the republican organ ization and the railroad, but he. toos was worsted.

THE SWAN SONG.
Members Who Will Soon Be Writing
 "EX" Before Names.

AIA L1SAVAO XNotAlCSs
 Washington. D. O., Dec 19.-Eight members of the United States senate and perhaps more, in the mutations of politics, will sing their swan songs at the present session of congress. In the ordinary course the terms of thir- ty members of that body will expire on the 4th of next March. Some of the retiring senators are certain to be returned, indeed, some of them al- ready have been assured of continu- ance in the senate; but the fate of others hangs in the balance and will be determined only by the legisla- lures of their states which are to met this winter.
 Those who are certain not to be re- elected to the senate are Russell A. Alger of Michigan, James H. Berry of Arkansas, Joseph C.. s. Blackburn of Kentucky. Edward w. Carmack of Tennessee, William A. Clark of Mon- tana, Fred T. Dubois of Idaho, Joseph H. Willard of Nebraska and Thomas NJ. Patterson of Colorado.
 Senator Alger's retirement is vol untary. He announced more than a year ago that he woud not be again a candidate for election. In some of the other states the political com plexion of the legislature has changed. rendering the return of the sitting members practically out of the question. Senator Berry of Arkan- sas and Senator Blackburn of Ken lucky will be succeeded by men of the same political faith who defeated them before the people after spirited campaigns. The retirement of both Berry and Blackburn is regretted by the senate. as both of them are held in high regard by their colleagues on both sides of the chamber. Sen ator Clark of Montana was not per sonally anxious to continue in the senate, having had all the glory out of the position for which he cared.
 A few senators who desire to be re- turned are, just now. on the anxious seat. They are Joseph w. Bailey of Texas. Henry E. Burnham of New Hampshire, Alfred w. Benson of Kansas, John F. Dryden of New Jer- sey, Robert J. Gamble of South Da- kota and George P. Wetmore of Rhode Island. Of these 1t is not un- likely that Bailey, Dryden and Gam

Athletes. to Get Bronze Statues of
 Themselves.

The United Irish-American socie- ties have decided on the form of the trophies to be presented to Martin Sheridan and John Flanagan at the public reception to be rendered to these famous athletes on Thursday night, December 27, at the Grand Central Palace, New York. Each of the men will receive a bronze statue of himself.
 Plaster models are now being made, and when the proper poses are secured they will be cast in bronze. Sheridan in the act of throwing the discus, one of the most graceful and animated poses in athletics, and Flanagan whirling in the six-foot, ring to throw the "56" will be the poses depicted. These will certain ly prove striking figures. It is the intention to have copies of them struck of to be sold as souvenirs to defray the cost of casting the bronze.

 It is dificult to make a long dis tance calculation explain why the Boston Americans should seek Jake S;ahl to replace Myron Grimshaw. Grimshaw batted for .2s4 last season. and Jake Stahl for .225. Moreover Grimshav is rated as a good fielding first baseman.

WAGER Is DECIDED.

 Waterbury, Dec 19, 1906. Sporting Editor Democrat:
 Will you please decide the follow ing wager: A. bets B. that Bridge port is not frst-class postofice and also makes the statement that If there is first-class postofice in this state, New Haven has the only one.
 Respectfully, INTERESTED.
 B. wins the wager. Bridgeport is a first-class postofiice and there are any number of first-class postoffices in the state, Waterbury among them. A postofiice that does $50.000 worth of business in year becomes first class postofice and draws salaries ac- cordingly. Carriers, however, do not become flrst-class until the city has a population of 75,000 or over, and this population must be under the census authorized by the government.
