YOUNG DONOHUE WON.

Philadelphia. Oct 26.--Fred Lam ders, of California, who was brought east by Billy Delaney, the noted train CT of pugilists. was given his second tryout here last night, when he was sent against Young Donohue, of Bos- ton. one of the hardest hitting, clever est little men in the ring. They fought at the Industrial A c before 1000 spectators, who yelled their heads off at the sight of as savage, clever q battle as has been witnessed here in many moons.
 Donohue was the victor, but he knew he had had a fight when the bell sounded at the end of the sixth and final round.
 Donohue let the westerner do the leading in the first two rounds, study ing his man carefully and evidently getting q proper line on him. ln the third the Bostonite got busy and waded in. Landers was simply swept off his feet, and in the fifth and sixth rounds had to stall hard to save him. self from knockout.
 Landers proved himself a nervy, clever man, but was clearly outpointed by Johnny Mack's protege. Mack at the finish of the battle offered to pit Donohue against any man of his weight in the world. and declared he would post $1.0O0 forfeit to bind q match.

POLO
STRANGE STATE
 OF AFFAIRS -
 Players Who Are Signed Here Are Playing in the West- Results
 . Awaited. ~~-.

The situation nthe polo field in the east at the present time is envel- oped in mystery as regards the play CTS who will comprise the various teams. There is no doubt but what the west has some of those players at the present time, but whether they will remain there after the season opens here is another conjecture. Western managers claim they will. while the eastern magnates say the players, who promised to play in the east, are only getting two extra weeks salary by opening in the west and then they will jump east. Take the situation right here at home. Managers McMahon and Halliweil went out strong for Hart, who is now playing in the west. Manager Bone of New Haven offered him one price, Manager Starkie of Hartford offered him another, and then the local man. agers went them both one better. It looked like Hart for sure until he went up to Hartford one night, where he was corralled and offered his weekly salary besides half interest in the team. He attached his name to contract and then immediately jumped to the west. Does that mean that Hart will stay for his two weeks salary out there, and then come on to Hartford, or what does it mean? The Akron management tried hard to get Bob LoXson, but that fast rush will remain with the local team. Fahey is now playing in the west, but he promised faithfully to be in Waterbury when the season opens. Holderness will be here, but not Frank Sutton, who promised that he would tend goal for the locals this season and received an additional $1O a week raise, but who jumped to the west with several others and is now playing with Sharon. In his place the local management has secured as good a goal tender as was in the league last season and he is Ander- son, who played with New Britain but who conld not get along very we'll with Billy Hanna.
 Billy Hanna over in New Britain says he has Fred Jeans for sure, but Jeans is playing with the Akron team, although he has promised to be back for the opening. He also had Ramon signed for goal, but he, too, is playing in the west. Harper and Curtiss of Bridgeport are also in the wetsern contingent. as are Jason and Dougherty of the Boston team and Canavan of the Pawtuck- cts. What the outcome will be time only can tell. There is one certain sure thing that within few days there will be g bunch of money sent into the west that ought to tempt the best polo players in the world, and if the west wants a battle they can have it.

Mike Donlin at Dwight, III.

Perhaps you have been wondering what has become of Mike Donlin, base ball player and hard hitter of the Giants. Mike got married last year and would not play ball. Short ly before the season closed he went to New York from Chicago, and it was announced that he would be in the Giants outfield. McGraw looked him over and said something; then Donlin was seen no more. Last Tuesday the Detroits. on barn. storming tour. went to Dwight. III, and played the Dwight team. They were amazed to find Mike Donlin in left field for the Dwight team. Mike can still bat; he was the only player that made a hit for the Dwights. and he made three, two singles and a double. Dwight is where the Keeiey gold cure for too much devotion to rum is given.

NO COLLEGE PROFESSIONAL.
Yale Alumni Weekly Heartily Sup.
 ports Dartmouth Idea.

That notorious phase of college professionalism teemed summer base LaH and which has been the trouble at Dartmouth calls for its special line of unstinted criticism" says the Yale Alumni Weekly. No valid objection can be raised to either the play of the college man against professionals or with them as a fine recreation or the payment of his actual expenses for particular games. But the line of demarcation must be very sharply drawn and the rule strictly con strued.
 "It may validate carriage hire and meals for a day or lodging for . night: but continuous board it justly scorns as compensation and every other form of compensation: and it procIaims that meanness and deceit are added to professionalism when the college player at the end of his season in q big summer hotel sells his baseball stockings for a hundred dollars or during the vacation for twice that sum shOvels smoke in the gashOuse-
 ."The lie that such a college player lives when he returns to play in a nine that excludes professionalism of the sort would be had enough if Him. itesI to himself It is far worse be- cause his example is likely to le infec- tfous. The moral broad and deUT points to the severest efaStisement of the practice as a protection Of the amateur purities Of the college sports And with that sentiment whi-h ws believe to be that of Yale goes un- qualified praise of the position taken hv Dartmouth.

THE GRIDIRON
ACORNS WILL PLAY. TOMORROW
Strong Bridgeport Team Will Tackle the All Waterburys at
 Rockville.

The Acorns will be here tomorrow and all lovers of football know what that means. The Acorns are from Bridgeport, and everybody is aware of the snappy game this team usually plays against the All Waterburys. They are said to have a strong team this season, much stronger than last, and if they have they will make the locals step a few lively paces to keep up with them. However, Coach Jack Baglsy and Managers Cronan and Slavin say that the Acorns will be the easiest proposition they have yet tackled, The game will be called at 3:15. The All Waterburys are open to play any team in the state a series of games for any amount of money and the sooner such series is arranged the better the locals will like it. The Villanova boys have promised to be on hand tomorrow and witness the game. It will no doubt be one of the most f1ercely con- tested football contests of the season and will bring out the lovers of that sport in good numbers. As a pre- liminary game the Orioles of Bridge ports will play the Brownies of this city. The last practice game of the All Waterburys was held last night and everybody is in good shape.
 The lineup of the Acorns will be as follows: Kicko and Duhigg, ends; Griffin, Walsh, Rock, tackles; Mccormack and Bauder, guards; Sul- livan, center; Finn, Buckley, quar- terbacks; Lavery, fullback; Sirrett, Flynn Reilly ard Shearan, backs.
 All Waterbury's lineup will be as follows: Reilly, left end; Farley, left tackle; Brant and D. Cronan, left guard; Mahaney and John Bag ley, right tackle; L. Cronan, right end: Lawlor and Legge, quarter back; Joe Bagley, left halfback; Hoffman, fullback; Hayes and Han non, right halfback.

THE DIAMOND. GREAT CLOSING
 OF CITY LEAGUE >..~ - .F Brook)yns and Pastimes Will Fight It Out For the Championship & To.Morrow.

With fine weather promised for to- morrow, the chances for the closing of the City Amateur league race look bright. It will be the greatest fought baseball battle that ever took place in this city, and all the fans who want to see excitement should be on hand to witness the close. It is nip and tuck race, and there is scarcely q choice between the two teams. The Brooklyns and the Pastimes are most evenly matched. Siosher, the twirler for the boys over the bridge, is in excellent form ,and his last victory stamps him as good pitcher when in condition. He allowed but two hits to his opponents. Johnny Moran ot the Pastimes has also been well groomed, and like his competitor he allowed but two hits to his opponents but those two were made by one man, while the rest of the team failed to find him. Any expert in baseball and any lover of baseball can see then what a contest this final one will be. Both teams are nerved up to the high est pitch. It will be mighty strug- gle between two as good amateur teams as there are in the state. Tom Houlihan of Boston will again hold the indicator. No expense has been spared to make this game one of the most interesting that has ever been witnessed in Waterbury.
 The whole of Brooklyn will be over there at the Driving Park tomorrow afternoon at half past two. when the game starts. They have their songs and cheers as have the big colleges | There never was more loyal body of rooters in the city of Waterbury | than those that follow the Brooklyn boys. Even when low down the lad der they have cheered their players on. and now that the top is in sight they will tear things loose. The west | end will not be without its rooters either. and they will be reinforced by rooters from every other section of the city, with the exception of Brook lyn. Talk about your pr0fessiona
 baseball endings, it isn't in it witf this close of the City league race Manager Madden of the Brooklyns and Manager Mcdonald of the Pas times are both confident of winning Bets have been made. but they have all been even money. It will be q fitting ending to great season and the fans should show their loyalty t( q little league that has been up againsr it this year, by turning out in goodly | numbers.
