HIGH SCHOOL MINES CLASH.
New Haven to Play Bridgeport This
 Morning at Yale Field.

Much excitement and interest has been manifested in the game scheduled at l0:30 this morning at Yale field, when the New Haven and Bridgeport high clash in their second league game. Both teams are evenly matched and a rattling good game is expected. Their evenness was brought out by the fact that both the high hines beat Nauga- tuck high by exactly the same score, each team getting point to the 3 points of the Naugatuck nine. Besides this the Park City high is tied with the local high for first place in the western section of the interscholastic league, each team having 1000 per cent both having won league game, the Park City defeating Meriden and New Haven Hartford
 Furthermore, the Bridgeport high has been defeated in many branches of ath- letics by the local high athletes. Be- sides beating the Bridgeport eleven twice, the local high overwhelmingly defeated them In basketball. Last year the local high also showed its superb ority over the Park City representa- tives, by besting them in two games of baseball. Considering these things and also the fact that the Bridgeport high has a stronger team this season than in years, they will strive hard to even up matters by getting the best of the local high nine today.
 The New Haven high squad has been working diligently during the week under the competent coaching of MT. Hackett and will put up stiff fight to win their second league game this morping. At yesterdays practice, MT. Hackett put the players through some of the hardest practice indulged in dur ing the week. For the first time he gave the players some practice in slid ing for basej, and also put them through some team work.
 The report cards were yesterday is- sued, and their appearance has barred only one candidate from playing. Con molly who has been playing a good game at center has been barred and his l place will be well taken care of by Jackson, who has been doing good work at practice. Midget Holacher 1 will probably start the twirling while starkweather will be ready to replace him, if his good work Is not kept up. Capt Blakeslee will play behind the bat, Flanagan at first sack, Rapuaro at second base, Grodske at third bag Falsey at short-stop Burns at left field and Messinger at right garden.
 Forecaster Tarr had promised good baseball weather for today, and large crowd is expected to attend. At all the l previous games the poor condition of the weather kept large crowd from seeing the local high in action and will be given Q fair chance today.

NEW SECRETARY OF THE NAVY

The resignation of Secretary of the
Navy Metcalf and the advancement of
Assistant Secretary Truman Newberry
to the head of the navy department
is a deserved honor and compliment
to our sister state of Michigan. which
has Jared none too we'll in the way of
cabinet appointments in the past.
Mr. Newberry lives in Detroit. He
comes from one of the oldest and
richest families an is and exceptional
Iy capable and desirable man for the
place. During the Spanish war Mr..
Newberry offered his services to his
country and received an appointment
in the naval department.. Following
the close of the war he gave most of
his time to a study of naval affairs
and since he was appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt assistant secretary
he has been indefatigable in the
study and investigation of all prob
lens pertaining to his department.
His work for the naval militia has
been notable in building up ''our
second line of Defense, and his zeal
and ability will make him recognized
as one of the best officials the depart
ment has had in many year. This is
especially interesting from the fact
that coming as his appointment does at
this time, just in the closing months
of the Roosevelt administration. the
reasonable presumption is that he
will remain in the same capacity in
President Taft's cabinet.

The new battle ship North Dakota
was launched last week. This is the
first one Of the tremendously large war
ships built for our navy and is Of the
Dreadnaught type which have made
the British navy famous. 1t will be
close to three years before the North
Dakota is equipped with her arma
ment and ready for service, but when
ing machine in the world. BY that
time, ten 12.inch breech loading, long
range rifles will have been placed in
position, as we'll as fourteen 5-inch
rapid fire guns; four 3-pound, and
like number of 1-pound semi auto
matte guns; two 3-inch field pieces,
two machine guns of 30 calibre, and
two 21-inch submerged torpedo tubes.
This constitutes the active armament
of the battleship. Protective armor
to the extent of about eight inches,
will cover practically every available
spot which might be reached by an
enemy's guns. and. as a result of the
recent naval conference, many minor
details of additional protection will
also be added. When placed in COM
mission, the North Dakota will be $40
feet long on the load water line.
with breadth of So feet, 258 inches
at the same point. The length over
all will be about 5l8 feet, 8 inches.
The battleship will have a displace-
ment of 90, 900 tons 1900 in excess of
the original British Dread naught.
1t is estimated that speed Of mole
than twenty one knots will be at
tanned on her trial, and that the
battleship's horse power will exceed
%, OOO Unlike her sister ship, the
Delaware now under construction at
Newport News, Va, the North Daktoa
will be fitted with Curtis turbine
engines. Including officers, the
crew Will number more than 900 men.
1t is estimated that when formally
taken over by the government, the
North Dakota will have cost at least
81, 900, 900, the contract price of her
hull and machinery alone being $4
377, O00
