BOWLING THE TOURNAMENT OPENS TONIGHT Casino Management Has Made Arrangements For a Big
 Crowd.

The big state tournament opens with the strong Hartford team at
 the Casino this evening. The local
 management has made arrangements for the accommodation of every
 body and the biggest crowd that ever
 attended a bowling game in this city will undoubtedly be in attendance.
 This is Hartford's first appearance in Waterbury and the bowlers of the
 Capitol city are rated as stars in the
 bowling world. Here is what the
 Hartford Courant said of the game this morning: ,.,. ..
 -.. Word came from Waterbury yes terday that the demand to see the Hartford state league team there to- might was so great that it had been
 decided to put 150- reserved seats on sale at 10 cents each. The money will be used towards defraying the
 expenses of the Waterbury team on its trips out of town. This will be the first time in several years that 8
 Hartford team has invaded Water
 bury and the bowling sharps there
 are on the qui vive to see what Hart ford has got in the tenpin line. As the teams are tied for first place, there will be additional interest in the contest tonight. The teams will line up as follows:
 Hartford-Redfield, Peard, Rich
 ards, Parsons, Kimberly (anchor).
 Waterbury-Neal, Stokes, Harper, Beardsley, Teller (anchor).
 The game is scheduled to begin at 2 o'clock. The Hartford team and

Fred Crolius Writes About the Waterbury and Bridgeport
 } Boys at Villanova.

Villanova College, Villanova, Pa.,
 .>.... Sept. 29. 1907. Sporting Editor Waterbury Democrat:
 Just few lines relative to some Waterbury and Bridgeport boys, who are playing on our football team, and incidentally a few words about the Carlisle-Villanova game,
 The Villanova lineup contained such personages as Slavin and Buck ley of Waterbury and Curley and Rock of Bridgeport.
 Slavin played halfback during the game, and his work was of the gilt edge order. Buckley at center was the center of attraction and his pass ing of the ball was remarkable. Cur ley and Rock both 200 pound line men showed up remarkably well. Rock, at guard, was simply stone wall for defense and Curley's tackle around tackle plays, were the cause or ceaseless rounds of applause.

Detroit and Philadelphia in a Fight
 to a Finish-Results of Other Games.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.--Battling with temper as fierce and courage as strong as was ever seen on a baseball dia- mond, the Detroit Tigers and the Ath- letics of Philadelphia ran neck and neck until Umpire O'Loughlin reluc- tantly called the game on account of darkness after seventeen innings of play that for nearly three hours kept 30.000 spectators in state bordering on hysteria. When the game ended and the frenzied fans came back to earth the score was 9 to 9, and the greatest pennant race in the history of the game remained as it was before this contest began

FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION.
Waterbury Has Entered a State
 League of Five Cities.

The second annual meeting of the Connecticut Association Football league was held at the Hotel Dayton, Ansonia, Sunday - afternoon. The session was we'll attended, delegates from soccer football teams in New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Naugatuck and Ansonia being pres ent. The Rangers of New Haven were awarded the championship for last season, having won eight out of the nine games played. The other game was a tie.
 The Ansonil team came second. with four games won out of six, and one tie. It was voted to offer cup and gold medals for the team closing the season with the greatest number of victories. At the close of the sea- son the champions will play picked team made up from all the clubs in the league for dinner to be served at the Hotel Dayton.
 The league season will open next Saturday and will close Christmas day. Mayor Charters of Ansonia was iidhS huhOidls pSSiuChI bI ti6 league, the officers elected being: President, John Francis, Bridgeport; first vice-president. T. Hodgkinson.

 With six cities and towns in the league. and nine or ten clubs, a live. ly season is expected. All the clubs were reported to be in a good condi- tion financially. and several of them made money last year. Interest in association football seems to Le in- creasing, and the game promises to grow in popularity. One hundred and seventy-six players are regis tered in the league. It is not unlike Iy that this number will be increased as there is talk of organizing assO- citation teams in cities not nov rep resented in the state league.

BASEBALL NOTES.

What a scene that must have been at Philadelphia yesterday? . Wild Bill Donovan was certainly the candy atfer the seventh inning.
 The majority of Waterburians are anxious to have Detroit win the pen nant, just because the Tigers were here one Sunday and made many friends. .57aa 51r | Seventeen innigs of base ball in this weather and with the street lamps lighted before time was called shows the interest that the American people take in their national game.
 While Detroit and Philadelphia are watching each other Chicago is doing little quiet sneaking of her own. What joke it would be if the last worlds champions would steal march on her two rivals?
 Y- Claude Rossman was the naughty boy yesterday. In the exciting four teenth inning, angered at what he thought was interference on the part of Monte Cross he struck him. Wh chance the big fellow took sur rounded by crowd of forty thousand crazy rooters?
 Owners of property surrounding tn Philadelphia base ball grounds yesterday, reapedNa harvest by charg- ing any price from twenty-five cents up, to watch the game from the roofs of their houses. It was estimated that ten thousand people were out side the grounds.
 The National league has been lost in the shuffle and scarcely a fan is giving the games in that league a thought. This has been the case al- most every year since the American league came into existence.
 The people in the east are hoping and praying that Philadelphia will win the pennant. They are anxious to see some of the series between the winners of the American league and the Chicagoes of the National league.
 Ed Walsh, the White Sox pitcher, was in Meriden yesterday and will re- join his team in New York to-day. Walsh considers Rube Waddell the greatest pitcher in the business when he is in shape. He figures that if the Athletics should win the pennant they will pitch Plank, Dygert and Waddell in the world sseries. Walsh thinks 1t will be hard work for either the Detroits or Athletics to beat the Cubs. as the latter have had nothing to worry about all season. The Am erican league leaders are under such a strain that they are liable to be all in when the worlds series begins.
