THE DIAMOND
THE EATERS GOT
 THE LOSING END
Independents Gave Them a Wal lopiug Out at Reidvlls
 Yesterday.

The Independents stacked up against the Danbury team out at Reidville, and defeated them in a close and well fought battle. It was a pitchers contest in which Eddie Carmody carried off the honors, not only in the box, but at the bat. His hitting was one great feature of the batting part of the programme, and he sent. in the. runs across the. .plate himself that cinched the game. Dan bury had a crowd of rooters over. headed by, Mike Cuff; the well known and popular politician of the hating town and Mike. had great time, coaching his team and replying to the jokes that, were hurled his way all through the game. Bill Dwyer, out in left field. distinguished himself on two occasions. by capturing flies that would have cost the. Independ- ents the game, had they got away from him. Frank Fitzpatrick also was right In his element at the sec ond corner and some of his plays made the rooters sit up and take no- tice. McNamara, the Danbury twirl- CT, did not get the support that should have been accorded him or the score might have been different. The game proved, however, that the Inde- pendents, with, the lineup they had yesterday, has all the independent teams skinned in this state.
 The locals will play one more Sun- day game and this one will be cork. CT. Manager Curley is arranging now to bring either the Boston Nationals with Tuckey in the box or the Gin. cinnatis with Dubuc on the slab here for next Sunday. That point will be definitely settled this evening. The score:

Pittsfieid~ defeated Meriden, 6 to 4, on the common in Pittsfield Sat- urday afternoon before crowd of oyer 1.700 people. he game was an interesting one to watch because the score was tied twice during the matinee. but Pittsfield held the. up- per hand most of the time. Casey and Robarge obtained freak home runs. The formers came in the sec ond inning, when his single took a high bound over Curtin's head and went to deep left field. .Robarges homer came in the seventh, when Chris" Mahoney fell after knocking down what appeared to be a triple. Mahoney lost the ball and the run. ner made a circuit of the bases. Meriden outhit Pittsfeld, but 1t couldn't bunch hits at opportune times, which the home club did at will. Ferry's men ciinched the game in the seventh. when two triples and two singles sent three runs across the plate. The hitting of coffey, Noonxnr f3ronkie. Finn and Robargs was all that could be de- sired. while the nelding of .BfonkIe and Na4sneld helped in tho fe&tureA

The All-Waterbury football team will hold the first practice of the sea son this evening. All the candidates will meet at the South End Athletic club at half past. seven and will then adjourn to the Watch Shop lot and begin their initial workout. Coach Jack Bagley will be on hand to put them through their stunts and two weeks hard practice will be indulged in from now until the opening of the season. The first game will take place on Sunday, October 4.

Manager Lawlor requests all the candidates who wish to play on the team to re- port this evening. The following will be in, line for the various posi- tions: Porter, solberg, Barbadoe, Dodds; guards, Hanan, Brant, Nor gan, Wentworth; tackles, Jack Bag ley, Foley, Wade, Bauby, Gooding; ends, Reilly, Roberts, Bergin, L.

Sal" Slavin, captain of last years Villanova team, will help Jack Bagley in getting the, men in condi- .tion and Mat Phelan, trainer at Vil- lanova for the past three years, will take care of that part of the work with the .All-Waterburgs The man. agement will leave nothing undone to make this years team the best one that ever represented Watrbury and from the lineup it looks it. Manager Lawlor has arranged for three games with Thomaston, one in Waterbury, one in Thomaston, and the third to be played on the toss of coin. It looks bright for football in this city this season.

TELEPOST BUYS
 TELEGRAPH LINE.
Will Reduce Rates Between
 Portland and Boston.

New York, Sept. 21.-By purchasing control of the Atlantic Telegraph com pany the new telegraph company, the Telepost, has acquired the use of a working line over 150 miles long, from Boston to Portland, Me.
 President H. Lee Sellers of the Tele- post company made the following an- nouncement today:
 Tt is true that we have acquired control of the Atlantic lines from Bos- ton to Portland and will immediately install our rapid automatic system of telegraphy on this line, accepting busi- ness at our uniform rate of 9 cents for twenty-five words, cents for each additional ten words. The Western Unions Boston-P Portland rate is 30 cents for ten words.
 "We are able to utilize full capacity of the wires by machines which send and receive at speeds of 1000 words a minute. The old wire companies are limited by hand transmission to a small fraction of this speed That is the explanation of the superiority of the Telepost system and of our lower rates.
 Portland will be the starting point westward of our transcontinental trunk line. on which we are actively at work. Our plans for the opening up of other territories are well advanced, but we are not now ready to announce details. The fulfillment of these plans. howev- CT. will soon become evident to the public. just as in the case of the AtIan- tic lines, when all our arrangements are completed"

 Lindsay, giant tackle, who play ed one season with Dartmouth five years ago, is now at the,St Louis uni versity. When he was at Dartmouth there were very few tackles in the east that could class with him. He should prove a, real corker for St Louis.

AS result of this accident no more football will be played at the Southwestern normal school this eyar.

Exciting Finish of Six-Dav Team Bi'
 cycle Race.


 New York, Sept 21.-In one Of the most stirring finishes ever seen on a bicycle track, Floyd Mcfarland of the team of Mcfarland and Down. ing of California won the six-day team race, two hours day, at Madi- son Square garden Saturday night. Members of six teams were entered in the final sprint of the mile and the contestants were so close together as they flashed across the finish tap that only expert judges could separate them. Mcfarland won by less than half wheel length, A. J. Clark of Australia of the team of Clark and Lawson, was second, but was placed third because he did not keep within the wheel line, and Frank Kramer of Newark. N. J., of the team of Kramer and Bedell, was third, only few inches behind Clark The placing of Clark third gave Kramer and Bedell second place.

 Fight.


 A prize fight took place at the Long Hill club house on Friday even and the two belligerents were Bert C'Kid") Brown, the west end cham pion, and Samuel Leasy, who has the honor of staying fourteen rounds with Kid" Shea, also of this city. An old quarrel between the two which took place on the street brought about the meeting. Brown was the heavier of the two by many pounds, but he was no match for his clever opponent, and Brown took the count in the nninth round. It was q grueling battle in which both men got a taste of the gaff. Leasy, be- cause of his lesser size, had the crowd. of 300 present with him from the beginning of the encounter.

He said he was anxious to get away as he knew he could get more money else- where.
