MAY DISBAND TEAM.
New Haven High School Basketball
 Five in Hole Financially.

A meeting of the New Haven High School Athletic association to be held to-day after 1 o'clock in the Boardman session room will probably result in the disbandment of the basketball team of that school. Manager Beers of the high school five Is to hand in his resignation to-day,
 Some weeks ago Head Master Cush- ing said that he would cause the dis bandment of the basketball team If they did not make little money. The team has been poorly supported and this accounts for much of their defeats. School spirit should be shown and the team backed better. The quintet is at present about $30 in the hole and will finish the season deeper in debt if a decided stand is not taken. Gushing will probably leave the matter in the hands of the advisory council and fl they think it best to disband the or ganization then 1t will be done.
 If the team is not disbanded the new manager will be elected. There are very few applicants for the posi- ton.

MCFARLAND TRIMS KEYEs.
Quaker City Boy, However, is Game
 Through the Twelve Rounds.

Boston, Jan. H.-"Packy" Mcfarland of Chicago had the better of Bert" Reyes of Philadelphia, in a twelve round boxing bout at the Armory Ath- letic association tonight. Mcfarland proved himself much the cleverer of the two and punished his man badly in each round. Reyes was willing at all times but is extremely awkward.
 Reyes took terrific beating but was so strong that he showed no signs of it at the finish. Toward the end of the bout Mcfarland landed at will and had Reyes on the ropes at nearly all stages.
 The Philadelphian was game, how ever, and several times came back with heavy body blows.

NEW BRITAIN IS BEATEN
By the Waterbury Quintet-Pawtucket Takes Fast Game from
 Providence.
NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

By steadily creeping from near the bottom of the National league polo ladder the New Haven five have at last attained the lofty throne of pre- miership. Boston. in the fastest and most exciting game of the season, was last nights victim of the Boneyard light but mighty aggregation. This is the band of poloists who so long held sway at the top of the league and who, falling to New Britain Monday, were busted from their respected situation. Nearly 2,o00 fans, the largest of the season, attracted by the game between the falling leaders and the climbing locals, were in attendance at the game Boston arrived late and unfortunately caused the crowd to be obliged to wait fifteen minutes for the commencement of the battle. Roaring Red Rorty, throwing out his chest proudly, made the preliminary arrangements and then in a stately manner stepped to the center of the rink and announced the lineup. Red is a favorite in this city, and his reception last night was a most cordial one. After satisfying his own mind as to the length of time it takes a mob such as was present at the game last night to overcome the thrill which creeps through everyono's frame before the start of a great con- test, Rorty blew his whistle and set the rivals at each other.
 The New Haven five were In grand form and their team work and splen- did defense were far superior to any exhibited at McLay's rink this season. EBonsrende ndeMteests~avmwsrsmoevarssfss..ss'rr N4'ell offensive work and blocking were on the verge of brilliancy, Saun- of guards, felt that the success of the locals depended upon him and he play ed the expected part to perfection and Mullen tended goal in an almost error less fashion. The latter made re- markable stops and to him is due a great share of the reward for the Boneyards' vistory.
 Boston, playing at top speed, endeav- ored to quell the local eruption and the flow of brilliancy was incessant Sutherland, the visitors goal tend, saved Boston from bad defeat.
 Hart and Lincoln played fine games and at times seemed to have the locals pressed hard enough to score, but only once did they inflict a wound on the locals. This was in the third period when New Haven had the lead by the score of to 0. It was the locals only score of the game and Lincoln caged 1t.
 Farrel caged the first goal of the game minutes and 40 seconds before the period closed.
