All Waterburys Getting Into Good
 Shape,


 The game between the All Water- burys and the ThomastonaA. c. eleven which will be played at Reidville on Sunday afternoon promises to be much more interesting than the nrst game of the season usually is. The Waterbury aggregation under the coaching of John Bagley is working diligently every night and will, 1t is safe to say, be in readiness for a good battle on. Sunday. The mere fact that Thomas Knowles, at one time physical director of the Y. M. C.. A. in this city, is coaching the Thomaston team should make the public realize that the village from up the line will send very formid- able aggregation to this city on Sun. day. All Tom Knowles does not know about football is not worth knowing, and. he. has not been look ing after the Thomaston candidates the past ten days without having something to show for his work. Thomaston has always been fast and in this respect is likely to have it on the home team, which because of its weight does not get going until af- ter it has played few games. Con- sequently even though Waterbury may be trSfle heavier, it will un- doubtedly have to work mighty hard to prevent7defeat. John Hannon, the big guard. may be in the game. on Sunday and Hoffman, the full back, from Bridgeport, has signifed his in tention of being on hani for the con- test. The All Waterbury team will meet tonight for practice.

sity backs, has done some accurate passing of from 20 to 40 yards in practice. If he gets away with for ward pass or two of that length in the Yale game the Ellis will be hoist with their own petard.
 Fullback Walder and Right Tackle Brinton have returned to Cornell. Both men are in splendid condition. Langdon Babcock, left end, arrived, but will be unable to play this fall on account of illness. He is just recov- ering from an operation.
 A promising back has been dug up at Annapolis in the person of Rei- nicke, who was one of the substitute fullbacks last season. He is a strap- ping fellow, weighing over 19O pounds. and is showing great fm- provement over last year, which was his first in the game.
 The final conference of the big off, cials who will oficiate at the big football games in the east and west this season will be held in New York tonight. At that time all the changes in the new rules will be ex- plained by the committee that has had them in charge.
 x. C. Morris of Denver. Col. has been elected captain of the Colorado university football team. Morris was expected to come east this fall to play at Dartmouth. The honor was be- slowed upon him not only in recog- milton of his splendid work on the team last season, but in order to in- duce him to remain with his old as sOciates.
 The Navy football team has lost two good men in William B. Piersol and Charles A. Harris. PieTsOl has played left tackle for the last three seasons. He was injured in a game early last season. although he filled the position in most Of the games and stood the strain Of the West Point struggle He had the muscles of his left leg torn about the knee cap. Harris has played halfback. a growth on the thigh as a result of playing football. keeping him out of the game

THE PUGILISTS
SOME FIGHTS
 LAST NIGHT
One Knockout Down in New York-Other Fight News of
 Interest.

Before a crowd that packed the New York Athletic club last night Young Otto knocked out Johnny Allen of Philadelphia, in the last sec ond of the six round bout that was a lively, slashing fight from start to finish.
 Six months ago Allen had the best of a bout with Young Otto in Phila- delphia, and a good mix-up was promised last nights spectators. The promise was kept. Allen was always after his antagonist, but was clearly outboXed. In the first round he went down for count of nine, but kept on fighting until just before the bell in the sixth he received the knockout blew.
 In the other bouts Joe Wagner and Battling Flint of Philadelphia fought six rounds with honors even, and Jack Smith and Kid Shields of Phila- delphia came together for six very fast set-tos, in which Smiths work was rather questionable, although he got the best of the bout.
 Young Livingston of Philadelphia outpointed Tommy Nelson of New York, and Eddie Smith fought four very fast rounds to a draw with Harry Allen of Philadelphia.

STALL TO SUE.
Wants Damages Not Being Allowed to
 Play Ball.

Chicago, Sept. 27.--Jake StahI, manager of the Washington baseball team of the American league in 1905 and 1906, has engaged Congressman James R. Mann as attorney and soon will institute suit against the nation al commission and the Washington, Boston and Chicago clubs upon the ground that he has been prevented from following his, calling, that of a professional baseball player, all the season. He lost thereby his salary of more than $4,000 offered by Boston, and suffered serious damage to his reputation.
 Stahl says the Washington owners promised to let him go to any other American league club he might choose. A three-cornered deal was proposed by the Washington club to Detroit for Mcintyre and OJ.eary end Mcintyre in turn was to be traded to New York for Joe Yeager. But when called on to go through with the deal the Washington club refused. StahI appealed to the national commission to set price on his release, which 1t did, of s5,000. Under this ruling the Chicago club is alleged to have pur- chased S:shl, but has neI,r, ul to the ptesen' t''re. formallv offered him q ciLtiact

GRIM'S JAW BROKEN.

Joe Grim, the middleweight pugi- list, visited Bellevue hospital yester- day, and the surgeons found him to be suffering from a compound frac- ture of the jaw.
 On Monday night Joe battled for six rounds with Jim" Barry, at the Dry Dock club. After the bout he complained of pains in the jaw, but his trainers thought it nothing more than pain due to an extra hard punch of Barry's. Dr Cuddeback, who set the fracture, said as the fighter left: Tt must have been an awful punch"

THE DIAMOND
GREAT RACE IN
 THE AMERICAN
Detroit and Philadelphia and Even Chicago Has a Good Chance
 Other News.

l Dygert skillfully held the world $ champions at bay at every stage of yesterdays grand battle, which clos ed the series between Chicago and Philadelphia, and which practically pushed away the shade of expectation instituted among the many support CTS of Jones White .Sox, most of whom anticipated repetition of Chi cago's remarkable squirt last year in which it captured the American league pennant, and followed this victory up with the unexpected re- cord of trouncing the proud Chicago Cubs in the series for the world s championship. Dygert allowed but two scattered hits, while Walsh, who desired to repeat his splendid work in the first of the series, lost his hold on the situation presented to him dur ing the early part of the game and was hit frequently and opportunely.
 Jennings Tigers repeated their massacre of the Boston Pilgrims which started on Tuesday and was continued "Wednesday in an overtime struggle. Boston tried out several of the speediest of her new recruits, but no team which she could patch to- gether could hold a candle to the De- troit nine for speed and determine tion. The grand individual match battle was between the two great shortstops, Wagner and O'Leary. Both played brilliant games, clearing up all kinds of difficult and em- barrassing situations. Crawford's s batting was special feature. He had four cracks at the ball, and in each instance a hit resulted.
 To-day marks the opening of the series between the two battling hines who are fighting almost side by side for the American league pennant,an then the resulting struggle with the Cubs, the champions in the National league. Philadelphia and Detroit are not tied for first place, as the apparent standing carried out but three places would indicate, but Mack's Athletics are in the lead, .0002 ahead. This could easily be enough for them to win the race by Donovan and Rube Waddell have been saved for the opening game of the series and these two great pitch CTS will fight for. all that is in them to-day.
 If Philadelphia should win the Am erican league race New York will endeavor to have one of the series played in the latter city. The sport lovers in New York are equally in spired with the spirit in which De- troit, Chicago and Philadelphia have been involved owing to this remark able fight.
 Only one game was played in the National league yesterday all the others being postponed so that double headers could be played Sunday.

JOHN L. DEPENDS JOHN D.
Fighter Says Oil Mans Money Should Not Bring Him Criticism.

Pittsburg, Sept. 27.-John L. Sul- livan arrived here recently and hunt ed up his friend, John Newell. Newell is a brother-in-law of the late Dan O'Day, and, like the latter, has made a few millions out of oil. It was only natural that the conver- sation should drift on to the Stand ard investigation and tainted money
 'These people who are makin' all this bark about tainted money give me cramps" declared the former champion. "In my mind there ain't no such thing as tainted money. I've handled good deal of it in my day, and it all looks alike to me. I could never tell the difference.
 Nobody ever made. squeal on takin' my money because it was tainted, and I think the coin handed out by John D. is just as good as that handed out by John L., and would buy as many meal tickets for the missionaries as though 1t never knew the scent of kerosene.
 John D. has got some of these tight-wads beat to a frazzle, and it isn't fair to keep him on the pan all the time."

LARGE FATHERS BOX.
McAleer's Scheme to Increase the
 Strength of the Batting.

While Fielder Jones, leader or the champion White Sox, has been carry ing on his campaign against the spit ball, 1t remains for Manager Jimmy McAleer of the St Louis Americans to suggest practical remedy for not only this, but to increase the batting as we'll. It is nothing more or less than increasing the length of the batter's box and give the batters more room in which to maneuver.
 At present the batter's box is six feet long and four feet wide. half of 1t being in front of the plate and half behind. McAleer thinks that an ex- tension of two or there feet on the front end of the box would help the batter along a lot, without in any way interfering with the present ar engagement of the game. This would give the batter a chance to run on the ball and hit either a spit ball, curve or break before the ball had a chance to deviate from a straight line. Under the present rules If a DdlleE nlls a DdAl Nulle O4A or l1e batteT's box he Is called out
 Most of the batters now stand close into the plate, or on a line with the center of it, in order to judge wheth- CT a ball is over or not This gives them only the part of the box in front of the plate in which to move or less than three feet Even a good, long stride will take a batter over the front line of the box- The after three feet of the box are use Iez ground for uost bzttsTs-
 With even two feet more added to the fro1t of the box the batter could get a running start at the bzll and hit it before there vss chance fer a break

ACORNS IN SHAPE.

Bridgeport, Sept 27.-The Acorns will be in stronger and better form this year, there is big field of can- didates for the eleven, and the candi- dates and members of last years eleven are all supposed to get out for practice Sunday afternoon at the mud flats, when a captain will be chosen.
 The Acorns would not have been started out this year, but for the earnest wishes of many lovers of the sport, by Dannie Walker, for Dannie had concluded that he would give up managing the team for good. But the fine material in sight and the promise of a great team drew Dannie back, and now he is for a champion ship team with his old time energy.
 The team may have its first game week from Sunday with the Thom- astons up in the woods, for Walker has a letter asking for a game on that date. He will take the boys up providing they make any kind of showing Sunday afternoon at the first practice.
 He also has a. letter from Mana ger Cronan. of the All-Waterburys, asking for series of three games. The football field has been engaged for the season up in Waterbury, and they don't want out of town games especially, but might consent to play ing down here. Walker will prob ably match up for the series, one at Waterbury, the second at Steeplss chase and the third to be tossed for. He will also play the Naugatucks a series.
 There is some fine material in sight, including Louie Musante and Hennie Murphy in the line, with Me Cormick as full, and Eddie Reilly, Billy Duhing and Etto Heating in the backfeld. Keating's return to the game will help the eleven ma terially.

ONE WAY TO BEAT THE BISHOP.
But Londoner Thinks the President
 Will Be OutcIassed at Tennis.

London, Sept 27.-Somebody writes to the Daily Mail saying that President Roosevelt will have stiff row to hoe when he meets the bishop of London at tennis.
 The bishop, the writer says, is an excellent stayer, as he knows from experience, and he advises the presi- dent to be extremely careful of Dr lngram's service, which, although not very fast, is very deadly.
 He also advises MT Roosevelt not to try the net game or he will be likely to find the bishops placing too good. The way to tackle the bishop. writes the anonymous monitor, is to play a back of the court game, as Dr Ingram does himself with great success. He predicts that MT Roose- welt will be beaten.
