Candle Coming Here.

Martin Candle will be in this city
within few days and he is coming
here to remain a week or more with
his friend Davy Cusick. Candle has
but one idea in coming into Con-

JEFF Doherty of New Haven. He has
heard about some cracks the New
Haven boy has made and he hurls
this defiance at him. Candle says
that he will meet Doherty for any
number of rounds at catchweights
and will bet him any part of $500
that he can put him away. Here Is
a chance for the New Haven boy TO
unloosen the rubber on that roll that
Martin carries with him. He can be
addressed for the present at his

Stranger Comes to Town And Gets
The Money.

Down in Mulligans cafe on South
Main street last night there appeared
a stranger In a strange land. He in
timated that he could play pool a
little and he was induced to go up
against player named Donovan. He
was also induced to bet a little OF
the long green. II was observed that
he could play some and he soon had
the match won as well as the long
green ones. In the meantime Bob
Mclaughlin was looked up and was
induced to come down and try his
luck. Bob did and like his prede-
eessor he was taken into camp by the
score OF 75 to 6S. With the victory
went more of the local sports money.
Finally the stranger disclosed himself
as the Syrian Kid" from New Haven,
pool shark, who needed few more
shekles to buy his spring suit. He
got the shekels all right.

too strong and too clever for his OPP

result was never in doubt. Shea
managed to hold his own in the first
round, but in the second Glover
dropped his opponent with a right
hook to the jaw. Glover beat Shea
all over the ring in the third round
and in the fourth put him down for

BOWLING.
Torrington Took Us Into Camp Last
Night.

The local bowlers went up TO Tor
rington yesterday and were given a
good trimming by the bowling ex-
perts of that place. We managed TO
capture one event out Of the four
contested. We won two games out
of three in the three-man event and
that was the best we could do. In
the individual match the Torrington
bowlers captured four of the fVe
games, they took three out OF four IN
the two-man event and two out OF
three in the five-man affair. This
last contest was a well fought one.
Torrington won the first frame by
forty three pins, Waterbury won the
second by twenty-four and in the
third the home players captured 1t by
twelve pins by lucky stunt OF
Fessenden's in the closing minute OF
play. The following were the scores;

But the game-oh, the game, it
was something awful. New Britain
bounced upon us right at the first

up that bouncing until We looked
like a cheap one cent dried herring.
The big crowd shuddered as they
saw the slaughter. The shudders
grew into fears and finally into
jeers. Let us go home" they cried,
I'VE have had great su1ficiency."
"Wait, oh watt" said New Britain;
I'VE are not half through set" My,
how they did tie us up in kuots, and
hard knots, too. There was nothing
to it but New Britain. We we're like
