N. H. H. ELEVEN PRACTICE.
Line Men Weak at Bridgeport Given
 Special Practice.

On account of the poor work of the New Haven High school line against Bridgeport Wednesday this important section of the eleven was given special practice yesterday. Bonnie Frinkei, who was star factor of the High eleven of 1904, took charge of the men yesterday and drilled them through the fine points of defense and offense, put ting them through about the stiffest practice to which they have been sub dued this year.
 In the game at the Park City the New Haven line was unable to hold the op- posing linesmen on the offense. nor were they able to withstand the at tack of the opposing backs in many important stages of the game. New Haven ought to have scored twice as much as it did, but on several occa- sions when 1t neared the goal line, the men couldn't open any kind of a hole, and it was necessary to return from whence they had come.
 This afternoon it is expected that a former Pennsylvania gridlron here
 Ehrickson will devote much of the afternoon to coaching the eleven.
 Tomorrow afternoon the New Haven High eleven will meet the Norwich Free academy team at Norwich. The latter has a pretty fast team, and it is ex- pected that they will give the locals q close rub for their money

Notable Feature of Conference
 "Quizn by New Haven Lady.

Hartford, Oct 24.-The closing ses- sion of the fourteenth annual confer ence of the Women's auxiliaries to the Young Mems Christian associations of Connecticut, held at the Park Congre- gational church, took place this even ing, Mrs. Aborn F. Smith, chairman of the state executive committee, presid- ing. The session was opened with a half hours devotional service led by Secretary Noel H. Jacks of the local Y. M c. A.
 Following Secretary Jacks remarks quiz was conducted by Mrs. I. w. Sheath of New Haven in which, she answered a large number of questions, sent to her in writing, bearing on the work of the Women's auxiliary. She explained that she did not feel capa- ble of answering them all, but that she would try, however, to throw a little light on them. The questions touched on about every phase of auxil- iary/work and were of much interest Mrs. Sheath clearly empnasized the power of sincere prayer in all parts of the work. In closing she offered a brief prayer.
 The address of the morning was de- livered by the Rev. pr. w. w. weeks of Springfield, Mass, his theme being Notable Instances Where Women Have Exerted Great Influence for Good.' In referring to the ideal wo- man in political and public life, pr. Weeks said that woman has the same rights as man, that he did not claim she should go to the voting booth, but that if she desired that was her privi- lege, 'Is anyone to tell me that a moral, intelligent woman is not more competent to vote than a Polander or an Italian, who, after a few days in- structions, learns enough to read few | lines as required by law to become a voter? There never was a greater call for warn-hearted, true-souled women, and never a time when she can do so much good as at the present time"
 The reports of the secretaries of the various institutions were read, togeth- CT with those of the conference com mittees and that of the treasurer. The treasurer's report showed that tie re- eeipts for the year had been $124.76 ant that the balance on hand was $4725.

POMMERN TAXES PRIZE
SAILS OVER 873.4 MILES
L'Isle de France Covers 867 Miles-In International Cup
 Goes to Germany.

Washington, Oct. 24-The official airline measurement of the flight of the two leading balloons in the interna- tional race from St. Louis, as computed at the Geological Survey to-day, is as follows:
 St. Louis (Forest Park to Asbury Park, O73.4 miles; St. Louis (Forest Park to Herbertsville, N. J., S674 miles.
 This means that the German entry, the Pommern, won the race and that it's pilot, Oscar Erbsloeh, and aid, Hen ry H. Clayton, now possess the inter- national cup, which was won last year by Lieut.. Lahm with flight of 4O2 miles.
 Members of the Aero club spent a good part of the day figuring out the exact distance covered by the balloons. Although the American entries were not among the leaders, much satisfac- tion was expressed over the way in WHICH ltlSy ndu IlduS tllt NuCO'
 It makes no matter how long any of the balloons was up in the air, or how much actual distance was covered, 1t is the straight line drawn from the start ing point to the place of landing by which the length of the trip is meas, ured. When it comes to a matter of five or six miles this is no simple thing, as the best of maps of such a wide area as half a continent may be expected to err in some particulars.
 Lieut.. Frank s. Lahm, who won the race last year, said to-day that he might contest the right of the Pom mern to first honor in the race. He had, at the beginning, expected great things of the L'Isle de France.
 On the notable features of the race was the statement, made by nearly all of the pilots, that they could have gone much farther had they not been stop ped by the Atlantic Ocean. The Pom. mern landed at Bradley Beach, neal Asbury Park, N. J., the L'Isle dt France at Herbertsville, N. J., a few miles from the shore.
 Five prizes are offered in the inter national race: The International Cup first; $1,OOO, second; $75O, third; $500 fourth, and $250, fifth.

JOHNSON BACK OF TROUBLE
With the American Association Which
 Threatens to Quit Baseball.

The startling statement that Pres .ident Ban Johnson, of the American league, is back of the trouble with the American association, which has threatened to quit organized baseball, created a sensation in baseball circles in Chicago. yesterday.
 A man of prominence in big league baseball is authority for the an nouncement. He frankly admits that he has no proof, but says he is con- vinced that the hand of the big league president is discernible in the bellig- erent attitude of the American asso- citation,
 The belief that the American asso- citation will revolt this winter and re- pudiate the national agreement is very strong among men who are fa- miliar among baseball affairs, and most of them seem to hold the same view as the magnate, who gave out the alarming statement that the idea of invading Chicago with an outlaw league club was born fin Ban John sons head.
