with an average circumference of ten
inches. The price asked was IS cents.

side, and in color is a very faint
green, almost white in some places.
The chayarette should be boiled

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-12-22
BOWLING
Silly Talk From New Haven About Throwing Games to
 Hartford.

Once more the screech comes from New Haven that Waterbury Is play ing her false and 1t comes too from the same source that screamed about baseball and polo, whenever things were not coming all New Ha- ven's way. The writer on the New Haven Palladium Is a funny chap and he can see more crooked things being done in that vivid imagination of his, than all the other prolific writers in the state. This time 1t is in the bowling game that he dis covers Waterbury has not been true sport. The claim is made, that because Waterbury appeared in Hart ford one week ago and there was not quorum present to contest against Hartford, that Waterbury did it on purpose, if you please, for the sake of allowing Hartford to keep on even terms with New Ha- ven. Such silly things that some fellows thing of. It is too near Christmas time to be unkind to the poor fellow, but has he taken the advanced degrees before entering the Roosevelt club.
 When interviewed last evening re- garding the above Frank Beardsley, who holds the management of the To- cal team stated that it was abso- lutely false. He stated that the for felt was caused by the failure of two of his tenn, Mahney and Lewis, to appear at Hartford as they had promised to do bM were later pre- vented from doing. There has been no regular time set for the Hartford trips. the bowlers going by train or trolley as convenient to themselves and it was not known that the team was not complete until nearly time for the game. Even then a tele- phone message was sent to mem- bcrs of the team here to get them to go to Hartford and when this failed an effort was made to secure Hart ford's permission to a postponement to the following Thursday night as is permitted in the leagues bylaws. Hartford refused to accede to this demand and the only thing left for the Waterbury team was to forfeit the game.
 The Hartford Times last night had the following to say regarding the charges:
 Perhaps he of New Haven is of suspicious nature, or possibly he is hard loser. It may be, even, that he is so carried away with zeal to have New Haven take everything in sight that it cuts him to the quick to see somebody else get something, and in his blind devotion he lets fly his pencil, or his typewriter, or some thing of the sort. No stock is taken in this frameup yarn outside of New Haven. If memory serves correctly The Palladium cried "colusion" last winter when the Hartford team was battling with New Haven for first place and finally landed it. Our New Haven friends should realize that when the Hartford, team can win five straight out of six games from the New Haven team itself as it has, there is no necessity to put out the white flag and call for outside help"

JOHNNY DUBUC HERE.
