been answering questions down at the
dock and in the office over the telephone
all day concerning the time OF the boats
arrival but as the telegraph strike was
working overtime the progress OF the
boat down the river had not been learn
ed and no definite time could be as
cribed for her appearance.
For the hundredth time the Office was

went through to bring the boat in on
time is mystery. But he wrote down
"s:2O' and posted it up. He was asked
no more questions, except those that
came by phone, which were all attended
to pleasantly.
When the smoke from the Lurline's
funnel was sighted well up the river it
was race with time and the men on
the dock began to make bets concerning
how she would hit the time. When Cap

what time he got in. 1--WE pulled in at
$780," he replied. That clinched matters
and now Ed Donelly is considered the

THE TRIBUNES' STORY.

The Young Tribunes stopped the Tomatoes chances for the cham pionship of the city for their weight Sunday morning at the golf lots by defeating them by the score of , to o. They were playing one minute when Moriarty. the right end for the Tribunes, made a touchdown. The Tomatoes did not want to give this and began chewing the rag" like they always do. The Tribunes did not count this. for if they did the Tornadoes would not play. The Tribunes did not want this to hap pen so they agreed to begin over again. They started at it again and were playing one minute more when Walsh got the ball and made anoth- CT touchdown, and no more scoring was done for the rest of the game. In the second half the Tomatoes were about ore yard away from the Tribunes' goal when time was up. The Tomatoes say the goals were moved back, but it was impossible. for there was a tree about ten feet in the ground and it could not be taken up in so short a time.

Tommy Connolly Sent to Middletown
 from Police Court.

New Haven. Oct 15.-The last round of Tommy Connolly's fight against hard luck which has kept him between lookup and jail for the past year. came in police court Saturday when he was pronounced mentally unbalanced and committed to the hospital for the in sane.
 Tommy was one of the snappiest boxers in the state a few years ago and his whirlwind bouts in this city gained him many admirers here, among whom he was known as Jaw breaker Connolly. In the opinion of the physicians who examined him at the jail. ConnoIly's mental condition is the result of blows on the head re- ceived during his ring career. Several years ago he was given a bad knock ing out by Kid Gleason in New Brit ain. striking on the base of his skull as he fell. He was out for a half hour and the fighters friends think that it produced condition of the brain from which he never recovered
 There IS a chance. however, that treatment at the hospital for insane may cure him, as he is not violent hut merely a victim of deIusions- Con- nollyIs relatives live in New Britain

THE PUGILISTS JOE CANS
 BUYS AN AUTO
The Colored Champion Going to Enjoy Himself r. Summers and
 Reyes Are Matched.

Joe Cans, the fighter, has just pur- chased an automobile in New York and he gave up $5,S65 for it. The salesman did not recognize Joe in his swell togs and offered him a second hand car for $3,000. Cans said he wanted a new car, high-powered one, with all the fiXings. He was shown one fitted with top, French sir en horn, glass front, clock, speedo- meter, luggage carrier, and all the tixings which raised the price of the car many hundreds of dollars In just about five minutes Joe said that this would do, and the salesman, who had then discovered who his customer was said: MT Cans, believe you should have shock absorbers on this ma chine" The old master returned, We are not accustomed to those in our business" When told that he handled things in hurry Joe's re- ply was, Yes, we are accustomed to that in our line of work.
 He immediately ordered put upon the panel of the door a triangle in which is inscribed in gold letters, Joe Cans, Goldteld Hotel" The fighter had his first ride in the car on Thursday morning and will drive it himself. In speaking of his purchase, Joe said: 'l have had fitted to this car one of those French screechers, for l want everybody to get out of my way. It would not do for me to hit anybody, for that would be sort of publicity which 1 would not want. It is all right to hit them when you are getting the money, but 1 am afraid that this kind of striking would cost me some. l am satisfied that this car is an automobile in which I will be safe and l do not believe that shall break it up for a moment. It is not my intention to race and should any of my old opponents challenge me l shall refuse to take part in any con- test whatsoever
 MT Cans had his car shipped to Baltimore and he will drive it around there When he purchased it, the most wonderful fighter of his time said that he had but seventy-five dol lars in his pocket, but that he was good for the amount, as he was then building a big hotel in Baltimore. The following day he returned and the roll he pulled out of his pants pock ct would have choked a horse. It started with one thousand dollar bills and ended with them.

DAN O'LEARY TALKS.
Veteran Pedestrian Who Is Now on
 Last LRp of 1000 Miles.

Dan O'Leary, the veteran pedes- trian, has entered the homestretch in his 1000 mile walk. On next Saturday he will have accomplished his task of walking 1000 miles. in 1000 hours.
 He began his long journey on Sep tember s, and undertook to walk one mile in every one of the hours of every day. So far he has averaged a mile in eleven minutes. His sleep ing, eating, in fact everything must be apportioned so as to be done dur ing the remaining minutes of the hour. Despite these hardships he is still plugging away and confident he will finish on scheduled time.
 O'Leary is the holder of many pro- fessioual walking records. He has competed all over the world and de- feated the fastest pedestrians in many countries. His first big walk was in May, 1875, at Chicago, when he walked 800 miles in 153 hours. In 1876 he walked 800 miles in New York in 143 hours IT minutes. In 1878 he won the go-as-you-please walking championship in New York, walking 403 miles in 142 hours. He walked 516 2-7 miles in San Fran cisco in 1889 in 142 hours.
 The veteran is crank of exercise and food. He believes in much eXer- else and properly cooked food. In a recent interview he said that nearly all unhappiness comes from viola ton of the rules governing life's mainsprings. "Td rather have a son of mine marry divorcee of the devil than a bad cook" he said.
 "A wife may be perfection in al! other things, but if she give her hus- band poorly cooked food or little nourishment, he is gradually weaned away by saloon or club. Then comes unhappiness with its varied results.
 About eight hours sleep a day are necessary. And exercise is the road to happiness. Without exercise food cannot he properly assimilated. Indigestion ruins the temper, cuts into the capacity for work. lessens the earning capacity and leads to un- happiness.
 ''I eat much and sleep well, but the average man could not go through what I have"

THE GRIDIRON'
THE INDIANS ARE LEADERS
Have Made More Points 50 Far
 This Season Than Any of the .... Other Colleges.

The Carlisle Indians are the leading team in the east in total points scored, with the Pennsylvanians sec ond; but in the combination of points made and showing against oppon- ents, Princeton heads the list. The Tigers have made 152 points in three games and have not been scored on The Indians have made 173 points 1 but have been scored on twice-both touchdowns-while the Quakers have made 155 points and have been SCOT ed on three times. None of the points on the debit side of the Pennsylvania 1 ledger, however, is due to crossed goal line. Field goals and safety made them. Yale has hiked her total of points up to above the hundred mark, and Ter opponents points are represented by a zero. Other teams not scored on are: Lafayette, Brown. Exeter, An dover. Dartmouth, West Point and Amherst. Cornell is another team that has passed the hundred mark in points. The only member of the big five which has not done that it Har- yard. The Crimson has been scored on once, but ont by rushing. Lehigh is among the big scoring teams, and has d very good record .as has Penn sylvania State The large number of points scored against Wesleyan is ac- counted for by the fact that she had played Yale and Princeton. and some of the friends of that institution do not think it good policy to run up against the big teams, get all knock ed to pieces and be in poor shape for teams in Wesleyan's own class.
 The most points for any one game is 91 by the Indians. Pennsylvania comes next with 57. while Princeton has B and Yale B Cornell's big gest is Ar The IS to 0 score by Cor nell against Colgate calls attention to notable brace made by the latter team. Niagara beat Colgate Il to 6, Cornell vanquished Niagara A to D. and yet Cornell downs Colgate only IS to 0. As Cornell is improving right along it looks as if Colgate had taken a very decided brace. Total scores follow:
 Harvard. S6-4 (for games); Yale, 106-O -four games); Princeton. 152- 0 (three games): Pennsylvania, 155- 10 five gamesl: Cornell, 110- 5 -four games): West Point, 35-0 two games): Annapolis. 59-6 -four games): Brown, S5-0 -four games); Dartmouth. 34-O five gamesl; Car lisIe 172-11 five pames).

Battle of the Giants.

New York, Oct. 15.-The most at tractive event at the games of the Irish A. A. C. at Celtic park yester- day was the hammer throwing with Matt McGrath of the New York A. C. and John Flanagan on the scratch mark. The duel between the big men brought a lot of enthusiasts to the ground. McGrath again showed his mettle by sending the hammer los feet, but this did not secure him the prize as T. c. sherman with a thirty foot handicap, won with throw ot 145 feet 10 inches. A. G. Williams of the Xavier A. A., with a thirty foot handicap, was third with a throw of 132 feet 3 inches. Flanag- ans best throw was 161 feet 7k inches. John J. Daly won the two mile steeplechase in 13 minutes 26 seconds, which was rather a good test of his stamina after winning the ten mile championship on Saturday. Mar tin Sheridan won the discus from a : foot circle and foot circle, the lat ter being that used in Greece, but no records were broken.

NO WINTER BASE BALL.

Chicago, Oct 15.-There will be no winter base ball games between the California State league and the major league clubs. This point was ruled upon by the National base ball commission at it's meeting Saturday afternoon on contention raised by the Pacific Coast league. The Cali fornia State league, which is an out law" desired to arrange series of games with eastern clubs between the regular base ball seasons.
 The practice of farming out" players was also given it's death blow by decision of the commission to revise the rules governing sales with options for recall of players. so as to provide that all such options in either major or minor leagues each year, and the players required to report at once to the club exercis- ing the option. with the further pro- vision that no club could enter into any such contract with option for re- call more than once for the same player.

THE DIAMOND
BEST SEASON
 ON RECORD
Attendance Figures in National and American Leagues Sur.
 pass Everything.

The year 1907 will long be recorded as the banner year in baseball. Es- pecially is this true of the attend ance.
 The figures show that the Ameri- can and National leagues drew a grand total of 6,136,557 persons. The nearest approach to these figures was in 1904, when 5,S69,260 persons wit messed the combined games of the Ma tional and American leagues. These figures are an increase over last year of 417,26S.
 The American league again out drew the National Ban Johnson s organization showing a total of B. 398,764, while the Nationals figure; show a grand total of 2,737,793. The American league drew 460,00O more than last year, while the National league shows decrease of 10000 Last year the Americans outdrew the Nationals by 56,863; this season the Americans outdrew the Nationals more than 660,Q00.
 This is accounted for by the sensa- tional race in the American league from start to finish, while it was a foregone conclusion before the season was half over that the Chicago Cubs were the best in the National.
