From present indications it looks as if the local high school eleven will play the Naugatuck high school warriors on Thanksgiving day at Yalo field. hll efforts to arrange a game with the Commercial high school team of New York city have proven unavailable, the New York team wishing the local boys to go to the city on that day while tho management of the New Ha- ven team has offered special induce ments to them to come here which they have neither accepted nor declined.
 An effort also was made to arrange 8 game with the champions of Con nccticut namely the New Britain high school team but they fearing lest the honor would be taken away from them have as they did last year refused to recognize the challenge
 The Naugatuck team which appear ed at the field last Thanksgiving has been taken on for the same day this year and undoubtedly will give tho lo- cal boys a hard tussle.
 The first regular practice of the week will be held this afternoon at the Yale field at 3 o'clock, A large number oi the members of the team who were in trouble over their studies have madC satisfactory arrangements and will un. doubtedly get into the game on Thanks giving.

 Association Refused.

Cincinnati O., Nov. 17.--The state- ment given out in Chicago during the recent meeting of the National associa- ton to the effect that the national baseball commission would refuse to hear either side of the controversy be- tween the National association and the Eastern league and the American as- soclatlon was branded as untrue today when Chairman August Hermann of the national commission announced to President P. T. Powers of the Eastern league and a committee from that league, that the national commission was ready and willing to hear either or both sides of the controversy at any time Mr. Herman added however, that what action would be taken when the case was heard would depend upon what power the commission had in the premises, and secondly on tho merits of the case.
 The Eastern league and the Ameri- can association at the Chicago meeting asked that they be classed alone as class A, while the other leagues now in class A be reduced to class B. Upon the refusal of the national association to do this, the two organizations left the meeting; and at the same time 1t was announced that the national com mission would refuse to consider either side of the controversy
