 To night.
CHANGE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
To Have Full Team--10O0 and 1910 fin Preliminary Interclass Cham-
 pionshlp.

The New Haven High school quintet will play It's last game tonight with the strong New Britain five at the An derson gymnasium. This game is bound to be one of great interest, as the result will be of great advantage to the local five. in their claim for the state interscholastic champlonship Q. This will be the second time that these two teams have played, the first game being won by the New Britain High, at New Britain, by an overwhelming score. The local boys, however, are determin- ed to even up matters by taking the game tonight.
 Should the local boys win, they will have good claim on the championship, for they have won and lost one game to the Bristol five. who are also out for the championship. Besides this they have beaten Waterbury High school, which defeated New Britain High.
 Sake and Frankel, the two crack for wards of the local team, will be on deck. and much good work is expected from them. They will, no doubt, have good men against them, but they will strive to best them. Dustin, who will captain the team, will play center, and 1T he gets the jump on his man. 1t will be Of the greatest help to the local team. The other two men, who will complete, the team, are the two star guards, Alderman and Starkweather
 As an addition to thls game, Bird; the High school basketball manager has arranged another basketball game and also dance. This dance will be very enjoyable affair, as only the pop- ular dances will be on the program.
 The other basket ball game, which is to be played is for the interclass cham pionships, and will be participated ir by the classes of 1909 and 19io. This game will be played as preliminary gameto the regular High school con. test. and ought to prove one of great interest, as both teams are very evenly matched.
 There has been some disturbance raised against having Mercy playing as guard for the juniors. the sophs claim ing that Mercy has two conditions This has not vet been settled, and it IS not yet known whether he will play Or not. The sophs also kicked agains, koletsky. the forward of the juniors claiming that he had been a player ot the regular High school quintet.

NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.
GAMES TONIGHT. Hartford at New Britain. Pawtucket at Providence.

A reckless stab at the rubber roller polo ball as it rebounded from the net ting to in front of the New Ha9n cage in the overtime period of last nights struggle with the national league lead CTS and coming polo champions, decid- ed one of the most exciting and most poorly played games of the season last night at the Quinnipiac rink. Harkins. the Bank wreckers' second rush accom- plished the trick hitting the ball past Sutton and winning the contest for New Britain by the score of 8 to [.
 By losing last nights game New Haven now slides back into fourth place their lowest location thus far this season. Hartford being their sue cessors in third place. A victory over New Britain would have given New Haven second place but the defeat which fin a way was merited places them down where sunshine is unknown. To Bone Gardner and Sutton be- longs whatever honor can be awarded the vanquished. Of the seven goals made by New Haven, Bone was direct ly responsible for six. George played a remarkable game but his partner, Lincoln couldn't locate the ball. Missed passes and drives were the continual performances of this national roller polo leagues best rushs getter. Bone was forced to rely alone on his own ability and although thus severely handicapped almost won the game, Wiley at center was a failure. He seemed to strike every where but the right spot and was an easy victim of "Soxy' Lyons and Jean when he at tempted to pass the ball Lincoln tried hard to be affective but Wiley eeem- :. ed to be unable even to do that Sutton in goal as well as Gardner at half ' back worked hard.
 The game was close and the interest intense from start to finish. Bone start ed off by caging two goals before the visitors were aware that the game was in progress. New Britain returned the compliments and at the close of the period the score was tie Bone caged the only goal of the second period giv- ing New Haven lead of one point At the end of the third period the score was again a tie. 4a

TAU GIRLS AGAIN.
High School Basketball Team Defeat
 Y. w. c. A. Quintet.

The Phi Delta Tau quintet defeated the Y. W. c. A. girls team in a very fast and exciting game last night at the Y. w. c. A. hall by the score of 1910. This Is the first game the re- organized Y. W. C. A. girls have play ed and they put mp a fine exhibition. They displayed fine team work. doing fine passing and blocking. It was this fact that prevented the strong team from securing more baskets. Miss Merriam, the physical director of the r. w. c. A. gymnasium has been coaching this team and deserves much credit for her good work.
 This game makes the sixth victory for the Tau girls out of seven games played. Two of their regular players being absent two substitutes were played. The good work of these sub stitutes was a surprise to the team, for they played a great game. However the rest of the team simply repeated it's star work, being done right along. Their team work and good shooting practically won the game for them. These girls have been practicing stead fly at the Boys club under the com petent coaching of Mir. Hoffmeister.
 The Y. W. c. A. Ave started off well by scoring from a foul. This fact aroused the Tau team, who by working diligently pulled out ahead at the end of the first half by the score of to 3.
 In the second half the Tau girls had things their own way, and soon began to leave their opponents behind scoring goal after goal leaving the score at the end of the game in their favor by the score of 23-1o. The Y. W. c. A. and Tau girls worked. hard throughout the game and put up a good fight until the whistle blew.

And he is no competitor Of Professor
Long for nature taking honors.
The rabbit is, universally accorded
the virtues of modesty and gentleness

we will let Mr.. B. s. Jones tell his own
story:
"When 1 first got possession Of my

chicken coop. But he raised rows
with half a dozen big game ROSTERS,
and one after another he took their
measure. 1t was great to watch
him fight a rooster. AS the cock
closed in, striking and pecking, the
big rabbit drew back from the circling
spurs and, watching his chance. shot
his long hind foot with its sharp toe
nails out and up in regular cross
counter that sent the rooster sprawling
on his side three feet away.
"But it is in fighting dogs that this
wise old cottontail displays almost hu-

round it was seen at once that Biddle
had exhausted himself by his aggres-
sive action O'Brien was quick to note
the change. He struck Biddle several
times with the fiat of his hand and did
not try to hurt him. although Tony oc-
casionally put over blows which made
the former champion vince.
At the end Of this round it was easy
to see that O'Brien could end the fight
whenever he wished.
Biddle came up for the next round
slightly refreshed and showed flash
OF his steam in the first round. He
landed several body blows. The crowd
cbeered. but they lacked steam, and
CBrien's smile broadened. The pro-
fessional sent in body blow. which
was the first that seemed to distress
Biddle. From that time until the end
of the third round he did not try to
hurt Tony,awho was so winded that he
could hardly hop about the ring.

mother who had been so sadly missed
in the lone lighthouse. so close to the
mainland. yet so far away, in it's rigid,
cold stone lines, only made out clearly
from land with glasses.
The invalid was at the pier. with a
slight flush in her pale cheeks at see
ing her rugged husband again.
"How's grandma" she asked, and
John said fine, and the babies too.
The trip back was like a homecom-
ing. the invalid taking in tho free air
with expanding lungs of returning
health. And they could dimly make
out flutter of white from the light
house railing. Grandma was waving
all well and welcome.
Then there came q creak of mechan-
ism, a sharp explosion, and the motor
had hopelessly broken down. The boat
ground on a rock. and in trying to
sheer off Cook broke his only oar.
The tide then was setting in, and
the launch drifted into the wild waters
of midsound in wind that had howled
into a gale. Ripping off the tiller rope,
the lighthouse keeper tied to it and
flung out cushions. chairs, rubber coats
and even boots for sea anchor. That
gave the boat her head so she could
live in the waves. Then Cook piled all
the other clothing and tarpaulin that
could be spared from the sea anchor
over his wife, so she was warm and
untroubled. for her husband had said
everything was all right.
But what about the light? They
