THE ELM FOOTBALL TEAM.

Lines from One Who Believes fin
 Their Prowess. Of all the teams in this state There's one like the best; They were the champions last year So you must know the rest. From the opening game in Bridge
 port,
 Where they played the Berkshire team, And came home with the money Slowed way down in their jeans. It was that day they started F And won near all the season; Some people wondered how they did
 it,
 But you bet they had reason. Our center Roger tChuck) Connor. In a big class by himself: You bet the boys from on the hill
 Will never leave him on the shelf. And Martin, our old captain.
 Can hold down fullback great, And Pickett. our star halfbaek,
 Can give them all the shake. With Honey there at quarter
 And viekers there at tackle. And waiting for the starter.
 -Tis like a game of prattle. With such good men as they are. Who bled for the green and the white, Who fought through thick and thin To keep those eolors bright Now three cheers for the Elms.

HOLDING ON TO THIRD.

New Haven, Aug 29.-New Haven strengthened her strong hold in the Connecticut league standing by add ing another victory at the prairie yesterday afternoon. The victory was a dearly bought one, the local in- fantry being compelled to waste their energy in thirteen sessions of interesting conflict before they were able to overcome the Silver city scrappers. Our representatives had everything their own way and should have easily pocketed the battle in nine innings instead of being forced to fight it out in overtime sessions, but on account of failing to fire and hit when in tight pinches were un- able to do so.

SOAK THE BALL MIKE
Donlin 0beyed Actress Wife. and New
 York Won Ont.

At Pittsburg the other day Mrs Mike Donlin, known in stage life as Miss Mabel Hite, won the game for New York in the ninth inning at Exposition Park, 4 to 3. Clad in a pretty black and white striped dress, and with large black picture hat, she rose to the occasion from one of the upper boxes and cheered the apparently beaten New York players until they rallied and beat Pittsburg under the wire by nose.
 Soak 1t, Mike" called out the pretty little Mrs Donlin. as her big husband came to bat in the ninth with one out. Larry Doyle was on second, Bresnahan on first, and one run was needed to tie the score and two to win the game. Big Captain Donlin blushed at thus being ap- pealed to by his pretty wife in the presence of so many people. He threw a kiss to her and said: "Fll soak 1t, grille. Watch me-"
 And Mike did. soak it. One minute later he was doing a pedestal clog on the first base bag. waving his cap like a big schoolboy at his wife in the upper box, who was trying to climb down to hug him. Doyle wal over the plate with the tying run and Roger Bresnahan at third was humming How I'd like to reach that home plate once again." Yes Mike soaked it. all right.
 A moment later Seymour had lift. ed a fly to the outfield and Bresna' han was over with the winning run Pittsburg had been beaten for the fourth straight time by the now pennant-crazed New Workers.
