BADLY THRASHED
 LAST NIGHT
Pawtucket Didn't Do a Thing to
 Us-Hartford Trimmed New Haven.

We went up to Pawtucket last night and what, they did to us up there was caution. When the bell changed for the end of the game, we had scored just twice and Pawtucket had sent eight balls into the netting. It was beating for fair and by a team that had not won a game before this season. Manager McMahon is still in the west and he will remain there until tomorrow. AS soon as the Canton team jumps to Boston and that will take place after the game tonight, then the other players will be on the market and Mac expects to gobble up few of them. With Can ton out of the race it will be goodby to the western league for Canton has been carrying all the other teams for ome time. Higgins may then consent to come east because it will be hard to draw crowds with the best elem
 gone. John Roberts wants to come east and so does Eddie Menard, but both of those players have evidently seen their best days. Roberts is now doing nothing but cover point and the rusher with him has to do about all the work.

Bill will cover the game for his paper Boston certainly agrees with him and he was given many handshake from his numerous New Haven friends, all of whom were glad to see Bill in town.
 When asked as to the polo situation in Boston, Bill said:

San Jose. Cal. Nov 16.-Hal Chase who was the first baseman last sea- son for the New York Americans. will be with Griffith again next year When interviewed yesterday in regard to the report that he had already sign- cd a contract for the coming season, he said:
 Yes. it is true that I will 20 east again next year. My contract is al- ready signed. and during the coming season I will be at my OId place again
 When asked if he intended sO oIp- serve the recent ruling of the National association. which prohibited the big league players of the east from talk ing part m the games Of the CalifoT- mia State league. he Tpplied:
 The ruling is an unjust one. and 1t is hard on the men in the hiE leagues. for it deprives them of an opportunity to make some money after their con- tracts with the eastern clubs have ex- pred StIII. the association Is power fuI enough to enforce the penalties. and the hest thing we can do IS to clpey the rule

Some Fights That Took Place Last Night Other Boxing News
 of Interest.

Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-Willie
 Fitzgerald last night fought Eddie
 Chambers 'easy picking" in their bat tie before the members of the Indus trial Boxing club. In one round, only,
 the third, did Chambers make any showing against his clever opponent.
 At all other stages of the fight Fitz- gerald had it practically his own way.
 In the first round Fitzgerald had all the best of the milling and sent Chambers to the floor once with a wallop to the stomach. Chambers claimed a foul, but it was not allow ed.
 Fitzgerald in the second round jab- bed his man in the face often and hard, besides occasionally slamming one into the body Chambers spruced up a little in this round and gave Fitzgerald couple of wicked lefts tc the face.
 Chambers was again knocked down in the third round and again put in a claim of foul. He was being counted out when he arose and renewed the battle. Fitz had peppered him hard and all he could do was to stall long enough to stay the round out.
 The fourth round was a busy one for both men and Chambers came out of it little in the lead He used a right repeatedly on Fitzgeralds beak and had his opponent worried bit when the bell rang.
 Fitzgerald came up strong in the next round and forced the milling Chambers tried repeatedly to bacl him up, or at least, hold him off, but the Harp" was mad and waded in smash bang and regained the leau Chambers showed the effects of his punishment when the gong sounded.
 The sixth round was a repetition of the fifth. Fitzgerald forcing the fighting and landing many wicked jabs with two or three stiff rights that worried Chambers badly. Cham. bers was fought to the ropes toward the end of the round and it looked as if knockout was due, but he man. aged to stick until the end of the round.
 Neither Fitzgerald nor Chambers proved the drawing card that the club expected, and only a fair-sized crowd witnessed the bout. Fitzgerald heretofore has always drawn big crowds and the management of the Industrial club was keenly disap- pointed last night at the slim attend ance.
 In the preliminaries Jack Hardman quit in the fourth round of his set-to with Johnny Hogan. Jack Hanlon was entitled to decision over Young O'Brien in their four-round bout Johnny Dohan, of New York, whip ped Jack Riordan of this city easily

THE GRIDIRON READY FOR
 THE ACORNS All Waterbury Will Have a Cork king Good Lipe-Up For
 To-Morrow.

One of the best football games that the lovers of that sport will en- joy this season will take place to- morrow afternoon. when the Acorns of Bridgeport will stack up against the All Waterburys out at Reidville. It will be the meeting of the two giants of the minor leagues of Con- necticut and will be bitterly fought contest. Manager Dan Walker of the Bridgeports will wager any part of $500 that his team will take the game tomorrow, and in all proba- bility he will have no trouble in placing the coin. While the All Waterburys will be without the ser vices of Bill Mahaney, who has just taken charge of his fathers busi- ness, there will be an addition to the squad in the person of Dan Buckley, the famous center of the Villanova team. Dan is home to get linked up in matrimony with one of Water bury's beauties, and he will do sev- eral stunts tomorrow while his sweetheart will look on and cheer him. Kerry Egan will also be miss ing from the lineup, for he sus- tained a fractured rib in his last game and will be out of the running for some time. Waterbury will have a great team, however, and the con- test should be one of the best and most bitterly fought of the season. AS the local team was given every consideration down in Bridgeport on >f hot To c;+ the spectators will have to keep off the field here tomorrow. No one except those in authority will be al- lowed on the field. The game will cease unless this rule is observed George Waite of Naugatuck will ref cree and Bowling of Bridgeport will act as umpire. The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock so that it can be finished before darkness sets in. It will be one of the warmest games of the season and the fans should turn out in goodly numbers and give the locals a good hand. The follow ing will be the lineup of the two teams:

NOW IN HOLYOKE.
Third Baseman McAndrews-Dowd is
 Looking Around.


 drews, third baseman and captain of the Waterbury base ball club and former member Of the Holyoke team, arrived in the city yesterday and will probably spend the winter here. For the past several winters McAndrews has been employed by the Holyoke Paper Co. Since the close of the base ball season he has been at his home in Scranton, Pa.
 Manager Tom Dowd of the Hart- ford base ball team has already started in to pick up promising ma terial for the team with which he promises to land the Connecticut league pennant again next season. He has signed Pitcher Jack Fraser, the former Holy Cross twirler. and his contract appears in the latest bulletin issued by Secretary J. Fl. Farrell of the National association. Fraser started last season with the Holyoke team, but on account of the large pitching squad which Dowd then had under his wing, the young ster was allowed to go. He spent most of the season in the Maine state league, where he had much success. Dowd thought we'll of Fraser last season and at the time he released him said that he was more than anxious to give him longer tryout. but was unable to be- cause he had so many veteran pitch CTS. Fraser has world of speed and with season or two more of experience DOwd believes he will de- velop into first-class box man. As Hartford's pitching staff has been practically wiped out, Dowd will probably again try his policy of last year in rounding up as many availa- ble young twirlers as possible.
 A E. Hampton. a New Jersey twirler of some reputation, has been signed by Bridgeport.
 There is a strong probability that Bobby Lowe will not be a Detroit Tiger next season. He has several deals now on with minor league clubs to manage, and the Tiger man. agement will reward his faithful ser- vice by not insisting on his remain ing with the club should he desire to take up any one of his several offers. If Bob gets hold of job IS manager that he would like 10 take We would not hold him to his Detroit eontract.' said Secretary Nayin. It is said that he is seriously considering taking the management of the Grand Rapids club in the Central league. which has been offered him Other offers in leagues Of better class have come to him. but he would like to get into the Eastern league
