THE GRIDIRON THE MANAGERS ... AT MERIDEN Waterbury's Application is Laid On the Table at the High School
 Meeting.

New Britain, Dec. 9.-The Connec- ticut High School Football association held a meeting in Meriden Saturday and made plans for next season New Britain was represented by Man. ager Douglass Johnston and Profess or Morse of the faculty. The annual election of officers was held and New Britain, having won the cup, was honored with the presidency. The following were the officers chosen: President, Douglass Johnston; vice. president, c. A. Terrell of Meriden secretary, Warren Sheldon of Middle town treasurer, R. w. Davis of Hartford. A schedule was arranged for next season. It was decided to increase the number of games so each team will play every other team in the league. New Britain will play Meriden and Bridgeport here, Hart ford at Hartford and Middletown at Middletown. The season will open about the middle of October.
 Waterbury applied for admission to the league, but the application was laid on the table. Changes were made in the constitution and by laws so as to provide a permanent board of officials of fifteen men, two of whom shall serve at each game, one as umpire and the other as re- fierce. The cup is to cost not over $2O. The New Britain delegates and Vice-President Terrell were author ized to select cup for the past sea- son. Possibly it will be here this week.
 Manager Johnston reports that about $350 will be cleared on the season locally. The athletic council will meet this week to settle ac- counts.

GETTING READY
 FOR HARTFORD Game To.Morrow Night Should Be Fast-State League in a Very
 Funny Condition.

The game tomorrow evening will be just as warm as was the one the other night when we downed New Britain in an overtime contest. Hart ford comes tomorrow night and Harry Starkie has got together as fast bunch of players as there is in the league. The fans have been asking for Hartford for a long time, but the mystery of the schedule has kept the Capitol city away from this city. Everybody will have a chance to see them tomorrow evening and no doubt everybody will want to see them. They have been speeding along rapidly, but Waterbury will put a kink in their cog wheels. It will be glorious battle and we hope a glorious victory.

Corbett fired the pistol that sent the sixteen contestants of on their long grind in the annual six day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden, and as the cheers of the thousands of spectators drowned the sound of the report the riders swept out around the saucer shaped track with a burst of speed that seemed to threaten all the records of other years.

President Dovey, of the Boston club and Joe Kelley will possibly come to terms during the meeting. If they do Kelley will take away with him three years contract to man. age the Boston club. Kelley has given his final word to Dovey on the question, but the Boston man, having been misinformed that Jimmy Casey of Brooklyn has signed to manage the Toronto club of the Eastern league, offers Kelley a contract for one year. The liberal owners of the Toronto team, in return for Kelley's bringing that club from last place to the championship of the Eastern league, are willing to sign him at the terms he has given to Boston to man. age the Canucks from the bench, from the grand stand, or from the street is necessary. At the present time Kelley is still under contract to the Tronoto club, and is signing play CTS and doing other business for President J. J. Caffrey and Louis Solomon, owners of the club. Hay ing been drafted by the Boston club, Kelley must play in Boston next sea- son or nowhere. Dovey has been quoted as saying: II have made Kelley good offer and won't make any better offer either. I am offer ing him another chance to make good in the major league" As a matter of fact, by drafting Kelley, he has secured very valuable man for a small outlay.

If Charles 4. Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox. persists in his opposition to President Ban John son at the meeting of the American league in the Windy City this week the chances are that he will find himself in the minority. It was stated in Chicago the other day that COmiskey had enlisted the support of John I. Taylor of the Boston Americans and that Taylor was par ticularly sore on Johnson because Boston did not secure Jake Stahl. But Taylor has knocked the turn on the head with a positive statement to the effect that he has never been opposed to the leagues president and that he will stand by him to the end in case of a real fight at the coming meeting. This leaves Chicago. Wash ingtOn and Cleveland in a supposed anti-JohnsOn combination. but as far as Cleveland is concerned it Is be- Iieved that when the matter comes to a head the Forest City will be found in the JoHhson camp.

quickly learned that Lobert and Schlei were not on the. market. Ne- gotiations between McGraw and Hermann are still on, however, so that some sort of a deal may be pulled off at the National league meeting to be held here this week.
 Hermann, by the way, has been overrun with applications from base ball men who want to secceed Ed Hanlon as manager of the Reds. One of them is from H. R. Durant, Yale graduate, now manager of the Wa terbury team in the Connecticut league. Another comes from the manager of an independent club at Albion, Pa., while third has been received from Rochester man who wants a salary of $35 a week and who agrees to resign if he does not make good in four weeks.
 Hermann has announced that he will this week give out the name of the man he has selected to succeed Ned Hanlon as manager of the Reds. Among those who have been men toned aside from Durant for the place are Tommy Leach, John Gan gel, J. Ed Grillo, Roger Bresnahan, John Kling and Ed Ashenback.
