WATERBURY EVENING THURSDAY. OCTOBER B. 1907
TIGERS HAILED AS WcToRs.
Detroits Now Sure of Winning Ameri-
 can League Championship.


 Washington, Oct. 3.-Detroit made sure of the American league pennant by winning two games at this city. The double victory puts the Tigers nearly four games ahead of the Ath- letics, and the Philadelphia team can not overcome the handicap in the few remaining days of the season.
 Already Manager Jennings and his men are hailed as the victors, and they are. being overwhelmed with congratu- lations from all points in the American league circuit and elsewhere. Their al- most unexampled exploit in going into "the enemy's country and bringing close and stubbornly fought contest to successful issue compels admiration in every quarter, and it is felt here that the team which will battle for world championship honors this year measures fully up to that which low cred the colors of the National league champions last year.

THE GRIDIRON VILLANOVA DID N. PRETTY WELL Local Boys in the Line-Up Against
 Pennsylvania Results of Other Games.

Philadelphia, Oct 3.-Pennsylvania played the second game on her sched- ule yesterday and won from Villanova by score of 16 to O. Villanova was beaten Saturday by the Indians 10 to Q, so Pennsylvania does not look so badly although the score was small CT than was anticipated. Pennsyl- vania played great football in the first half when she scored two touchdowns, but in the second period her work was loose. In straight line plays she was strong, but in end runs and open work her showing was disappointing. Straight football was the order of the day for both sides. eN
 Villanova could not gain oN line plays and her defence, while not ade- quate to Pennsylvania attack, was spirited and active. However,, when Pennsylvania used the open forma- tions it was not uncommon for Villa nova to get the runner at. loss, and once punt by Hollenbeck was block ed. Villanova worked two forward passes. On the first she gained thirty-five yards and on the second she gained fifteen yards, which car ried the ball to Pennsylvania 15 yard line Barr tried for field goal but failed. The lineup:

They are looking for games where they can fight Their tactics in games have shown them up. All that the Quakers need is to get clean repu- tation. All these tactics they have shown do not do them any good. They also speak about arranging games with out of town teams, espe- cially the Orioles of Bridgeport. They will be lucky if they arrange games with them as there is some talk of their meeting with re- fusal. So cut your bull in the pa pers and play as you ought to and not like a lot of youngsters.

BROWNIES COME BACK STRONG.

Sporting Editor Democrat:
 An article appeared in your paper last night from the Quakers refer
 ring to the Brownies as a pack of soreheads and as having a lot of hot air talk. Also that they would play the Brownies for s1O a side. There was no mention of the Quake- foot ball teams weight because they thought they would squeal out of it. This is one sign of their squsaling. They have nothing to dispute about last years championship ia last nights issue of your paper. The Brownies are still wondering if the Quakers have looked up rule s5. par agraph [, yet. Who came ont and squealed this year first about last years gamer The Quakers. Talk about your hot air, why that's all there is in that Quaker team They are a bad bunch in all kinds of sports. Take, for instance, when the Quakers played the Brownies in base ball: they were trimmed by the Brownies. Tn the eighth inning, with the Brownies ahead, they stole the ball What kind of a bunch would you call it7 No kind, of course
 The Brownies have barred the Quakers this season They are not and never will be able to play any sport until they learn enough about the right way.

THE PUGILiSTS
PRIVATE BATTLE
 LAST NIGHT.
Johnny Duane Won After a Terri. fife Battle of Eighteen Rounds
 -Gardner's Bank Book.

There was great finish fight last night in Coytesville, N. J., and 500 New Workers, many of them brokers and business men, who made the journey got a run for their coin when they saw Johnnie Duane knock out Tommy McVey in the eighteenth round.
 It was fierce battle and Duane's victory was not a cheap one, by any means flor McVey fought like a tiger from start to finish, and his victor had to extend himself to the limit to win.
 Both men were battered and wal loped until the blood flowed down their bodies and stained the floor, but neither has tinge of yellow in his makeup, and they kept continually boring in for more.
 A terrific left to the stomach, fol- lowed by a savage right to the jaw, put McVey out for keeps, and it was ten minutes before he could help him. self.
 The spectators met in cafe in 13Oth street. at ' o'clock, and crossed the river an hour later. Eight trolley cars had been chartered and carried the party to the scene of the battle, a deserted school building, near Coy tesville.
 Well-known pugilists served as re- fierce, timers, seconds, etc, and the whole affair went off in bang-up ring style. Only the favored few in the sporting world got the tip. Broad way and Wall street were we'll repre- sented.

Gus Gardner, the fighter, had a curious experience in matrimony. Gus had bank book which showed deposits of $500. The book had originally been for $10O, but Gus had drawn this, money, making the book useless. In one of his bright mo- ments he raised the figures.
 Shortly afterwards he was proudly displaying the book to a chorus girl. The chorus girl had a large bundle of fake jewelry, and she had showed the paste gems to Gus in the same spirit that he had shown the book to her. 6
 She wanted an angel to star her. Gus wanted somebody with lot of diamonds. Both thought the others resources genuine. They were mar ried..
 First day Gus tried to get one of the diamonds for a trip to the Sign of the Three Balls.
 Draw check" said the wife.
 q cant honey" replied Gus. You -you-you know, that books only fake.'
 - Well, so are the diamonds" she responded
 Gus was furious and blamed his manager for allowing him to be "roped in by that designing, schem- ing woman"
 The fake gems are still doing duty in the front row.

FALL BASEBALL PRACTICE.
Of Little Use. Says Billy Lush. the
 Yale Coach.

Billy Lush, the Yale baseball and basketball coach, who is to be referee ill the National Roller Polo league this season, said recently that the decis- ion to omit fall baseball practice at Yale would not have any effect upon the quality of the team eventually de- veloped. He said the men would start work in the cage earlier than usual in the spring. Lush said the fall practice might be resumed another year if the entire squad was not en- gagged in other sports, as at the pres ent time. Besides Captain Tad Jones, the other members of the baseball squad who are now out for the var sty football team are: Murphy, Coy, Philbin, Wheaton, Logan, Dunbar and Wylie. These men will form the necleus of next years baseball squad and practice without them would be nothing more than farce.
 The Boston Americans expect to give Hazelton, one of the debarred Dartmouth men, a chance to show his pitching powers next year and are now flirting with Percy Skillin, the one time proud leader of Dartmouth Percy says nay thus 5ar and it is thought he will go with the White Sox, though it is claimed he promised some months ago to 20 to the Pilgrims if ever he decided to be- come an out and out professional.
