 Protecting Birds.

The members of the fish and game commission held the regular weekly meeting in the state capitol Tuesday. Routine business was transacted.
 The attention of the commissioners has been directed to a statement pub lished in some newspapers in the state, to the effect that they Intend to spend some of the money derived from hunt CTS licenses. amounting in all to about s2o,00o, for the propagation and. pro- lection of shell fish, principally
 Commissioner George T. Mathewson, speaking for himself and his colleagues, Commissioners Crampton and Geer gave the Statement flat and unquali- fled denial. Commissioner Mathewson said that not a penny of the money re- ceived from licenses will be used for any purpose other than that of propa- gating and protecting game birds He said that already the commissioners have made contracts for the stocking of the woods with game birds next spring. One of the contracts is for the importation of several thousand Hun garian cartridges in the spring This bird is very prolific and is superior game bird. The commissioners have already constructed and placed mum Der of sheds throughout the state for the protection and propagation of quail.

 In regard to pheasants this state has not been exactly noted for the number | found in the woods. The commission.

STATE LEAGUE STANDING.

Morgan and Schiller have been doing the ascension act during the past week, and now the difference between the team man-for- man Is but few points. which shows much consistency in roll ing, the locals having used but six men during the season.

 Joe Musante of Bridgeport came to the fore during the week. and leads the league with in average of 2l7. but as he has only just started he can not be given the real honor of being the Watt is the real leader. although he fell off badly during the past two weeks
 Hartford stepped into second place again by defeating Waterbury so that the Brass City team Is only a few points ahead of the locals.

 Into Superior Court.

Boston, Jan. e.-Hugh Duffy mana ger and proprietor of the Providence baseball club his brought a bill in equity in the superior court, naming Alfred c. Doe, Patrick T. Powers, president of the Eastern league, and Rhode Island Exhibition company, as defendants. seeking the divisioin of 15s shares of the capital stock of the ex- hibition company between himself and Doe, formerly held jointly by them. In addition, also, he asks that the seven ty-rine shares assigned Doe be turned over to the plaintiff as collateral on a note debt, which he wants established.
 Duffy and Doe bought the stock of Powers and immediately after pledged 1t back as security or promissory notes. On the same day, the bill alleg- es, Doe borrowed s1,750 from Duffy, giving his note secured by his share of the stock, subject to the pledge made by Powers.

SWIMMING POOL AT ROCK.
Night as We'll as Day Baths Win be
 Q Feature.

f
 Murphy Brothers have enlarged their plans for the new amusement place being built on Beach street, and will add an elaborate bathing pavilion to their merry-go-round building now nearing completion The original plans called for a structure extending lS6 feet over the water; the new one calls for an extension of 200 feet; S35 feet in all.
 An immense swimming pool 75x150 feet in size is to be made on the south side of the merry-go-round by build- ing concrete sea walls. The bottom of the pool will be graded in such . way that the bathers can find any depth of water they desire, as Mir. Murphy states 1t "the pool will vary in depth from the smallest child to the largest man. It twill have . concrete floor The entire pool will be lined with vitrified brick and ala baster. Ingeniously built tide gates will keep the water at an equal depth at all times. This feature will be ape preciated by those who like to take . dip without waiting for high tide.
 This plant will be larger and better fitted than the famous Sherry pool at Narragansett Pier, the millionaire's resort, and will be open to the public with only a very small fee charged for the bathing privilege.
 A pier supporting a block of bath houses 25x100 feet in size will ex- tend along the east side of the pool. On the end of the pier a fully equipped steam laundry will be installed to take care of bathing suits. All suits will be sterilized with live steam after i each rental
 The pool will be lighted with elec- tric lights in order to allow working people to make use of it during the evening.

CHALLENGES CORINTHIANS.
Springfield T. s. Soccer Team Would
 Play England's Best.

Captain North, of the Springfield Training school, has so much confi- dence in his soccer football team, which beat Yale and Harvard last fall, that he has challenged the Corinthian team of England This English team plans to visit America in the spring. The Corinthians are the crack anna teur organization of England, and have been defeated only once in their history.

 Three Games from Trenton Quintet.

Both the Brooklyn and Newark in terstate teams won three straight games Wednesday night, the locals de- feating Elizabeth on the Grand Gen. tral alleys, Brooklyn, and incidental ly coming within three pins of the high team score. while the Newarks took the Trentons into camp on the Oxford alleys in the New Jersey me- tropolis. It will be necessary for Brooklyn to win all three games at Jersey City on January IT to tie for the championship, and even then it would be necessary to meet the New arkers in a roll-off before the locals can win the title. After Wednesday nights showing even that is consider ed probable by some.
 It was with no intention of letting anything get away that Cordes and his band started the first game, for, de- spite Hartley's 1854, the team totaled 1,0s0 against which the Elizabethans placed S67 Elizabeth's pinknights were in much the same form in the second contest, while Brooklyn had nc trouble in totaling 951,

New Haven, in Whirlwind Form, Defeats the Pawtucket
 Tigers.
LEAGUE LEADERS SWAY
Bridgeport Wins from Boston in an Overtime Game-Waterbury
 Victor.
NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

One continuous whirlwind procession, led by Mccarthy, interrupted only by feeble defensive efforts of the New Britain polo quintet. marked the game at the Quinnipiac ring last evening and was captured as expected by the locals, the final score being to 4. The con test varied from those played in this city during the past week by the fact that brilliant plays were frequent in every period Mccarthy and Bone for New Haven played marvelously, and Cunningham and Cameron for Paw ticket were the visiting stars.
 The Pawtucket aggregation was weakened by the illness of "Dickie" Pierce. Whipple, the man with the covered upper hip, was in Pierce's place and made a bowling failure here. Saunders, our stonewall halfback, was far too strong for him and the visitors first rush was unable to accomplish any remarkable feats He couldn't drive. pass nor receive passes.
 New Haven played circles around Pawtucket at every stage of the game up till the final part of the last period when the locals, knowing that victory was certain, saved themselves for fu- ture use During the second period the 1 Boneites had the Tigers so perplexed that they stood around and gazed at | the the splendid work of the local five hardly realizing that they were a fac ! tor in the exhibition,
 l Eo ,1ya balf aalx 4 rush, and with Cunningham were the weak mainstays of the Pawtucke' team. Heffernan played a good game 1 in goal and alone prevented New Ha- ven's score from being at least twice as large as the result above. He did not receive the support which was con. tributed to Mullen, but, nevertheless worked hard.
 One of those feats seldom seen more than once a season was performed by Mccarthy when he made the first goal of the game Bone rushed down the rink towards tho Pawtucket goal, and drovethe ball at the cage. The spehrold struck Heffernan in the stomach and bounded up In the air, Mccarthy, who was in front of the cage at this instant waited for the ball to come down and then drove at 1t while 1t was descend ing through the ether. He struck il with his stick and drove 1t past the goal tend and Into the netting. Bone caged New Haven's second goal on a pass from Farrell In two minutes and forty-fve seconds. Twenty second. after this Farrell got in one of hi: great drives from the center of tho rink. Pawtucket only score fin the frs period was made by Cunningham after I series of passes from one end of tn, rink to the other It was remarka bly scientific feat and Cunningham wa. given a round of applause.
 Mccarthy and Bone worked in SCOT, apiece in the second period for tn, locals, and CunniL gham completed an
 5ther pretty goal just before the pc riod terminated.
 Cunningham and Saunders fell in tn, final period, aftera friendly encounte and the former hurt his leg and wa ableto do but little worn during tn, rest of the game. Two fouls wert called during the game, one on Farrel for kicking the ball when down an other on Saunders for holding. The lineup;
