Gus Dorner, formerly a pitcher on the Boston National league team, is about to become a benedict. He has just sent to jeweler in New York for the ring.
 The coming meeting of the National league in New York will be the most important since the American league broke into the field. Needless to say the Ameican league is immensely in terested in the outcome.
 Horace Fogel, the new president of the Philadelphia Nationals, once in- sisted that Mathewson would make a better first baseman than pitcher. He may turn Sherwood Magee into an in fielder and Charley Dooin into @ twirl- CT.
 Jeff Pfeffer, former member of the Doves outfit also, and who was draft ed from Toronto by the Cubs at the end of the season just passed, is mak- ing his home in Boston. Jeff married Boston girl and likes everything con- nected with the Hub.
 The Pittsburg club has sent out in vitations to the big banquet which the Pirates will give at the Waldorf As- toria on the evening of December 15. All the magnates of both leagues. the sporting writers and members of the winning team will be present.
 Hlg Ed Walsh held Charley COmiS- key up for an $S,000 salary last year, and LOW another Chicago twirler, three fingered Mordecai Brown, demands the same beggarly stipend of Charley Muroly. The miner wants to salt his pile Before he begins to go back.
 Elmer Stricklett, the originator of the spit ball. will not be able to re- turn to the Brooklyn team for at least two more, seasons. as the national com mission has decided that by an agree ment made between the California and American and National leagues the player must fulfil his contract with the coast club.

Triple Alliance To Secure Fight
Such is Rumor After JeffresJohnson Bids re Opened
 -Jewett City Plays New London Tonight.

New York, Dec. 1.-No decision an- nouncing the successful bidder for the worlds championship heavyweight prizefieht between James J. Jeffries, the retired and undefeated champion, and Jack Johnson, the negro title holder was made in New York to- night because the promoters wished to avoid any possible clash with the po- lice authorities.
 The decision will be made known in Hoboken, N. J., at l o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 Gossip in sporting circles tonight picked as the winning bidders James Coffroth of the Colma Athletic club, San Francisco; Jack Gleason, the Cal ifornia baseball magnate, and ''Tex" Rickard, the Nevada boomer, who have apparently formed a triple alliance for the purpose of getting the fight.
 The talk among sporting men is that Gleason and Coffroth pooled their in terests but that at the last moment Rickard, who pulled off the Gans-Nel- son fight came in with threat to bid such an enormous sum that it could not be denied.
 Both Jeffries and Johnson appeared in a ring at the Madison Square Gar den tonight in what will probably be their last similar display before the public prior to the fight. But contrary to expectations the Garden was not even well filled.
 Johnson came on first and spared with a white opponent in a mild sort of manner. Jeffries came on an hour and a half later and went five snappy rounds with Sam Berger. the fastest work he has done in public at least since he started training for the fight. The crowd sized Jeff up as being in good condition and showing good form, but his old nose trouble bothered him considerably

Wilkinson, Former Nutmeg Arbitrator
 Banished 26 Players.


 Connecticut league fans will recall Umpire Wilkinson, who worked in this circuit during the 1908 season, and who held the indicator in the New York State league last season wilkie had a rather tough time, according to the dope handed out by President Far rell in the recent annual meeting of the organization. The Albany Argus says:
 Wilkinson. peculiar sort of a chap. was probably the most abused official in the arbiters' ranks. Willxie was compelled on twenty-six different occasions to resort to something more than words to keep the players in bounds. Wilkinson quIt when the war got hottest. He was compelled to defend himself on one occasion from the short jabs of Silver Groh of Scranton, and another time to hop around to escape the spikes of Moose Baxter. the Scranton first sacker, who threatened to crush Wilkinson with his pair of eights."

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS REPORT
Jail Alone Earned $3,af6 During Past Year-county Has Over $s,ooo in Treasury.

Once more the annual report of the commissioners for Windham county c. E. Barber of Plainfeld, F. H.. Cor 1 tiss of Thompson and F. H. Hall of 1 Windham-brings the announcement of ] the making of splendid financial rec
 ord in the management of county af- fairs during the past year. The record is one of the best ever.
 | As usual the jail has proved to be the big money maker of the county,
 and the year ends with that institution showing net earnings of $3,316.64,
 which is nearly double the amount of
 last year.
 The cash balance in the county
 treasury is s9,0S1.1o. a gain of $2.-
 5S6.04 during the last year, and this
 last amount represents net gain in
 receipts over expenditures for the en- tire county.
 As was to be expected from an insti- tuition with no earning capacity, the
 childrens home shows deficit, but
 only of s359.39, which is about one half the deficit of one year ago.
 AS has been said, the jail is the
 money making institution of the coun-
 ty and is responsible for the surplus.
 Favored with an exceptionally efficient board of commissioners, Windham
 county is also fortunate in the condi-
 tions that make possible such large
 earnings at the jail. Other Connecti- cut counties are not so favored. At Brooklyn, well removed from competi- ton with free labor, the prisoners can be worked without mourning the anil
 mostly that would likely be given birth In counties where jails are located in
 more thickly populated centers and where the. prisoners as laborers would | be in direct competition with regular day labor.
 ! In the country about Brooklyn the | demand for laborers exceeds the sup ply; hence the jail workers are really | welcomed rather than considered as competitors of the workingman. They | are sent out from the jail in charge of keepers to do all kinds of farm work and not only do it well but welcome the opportunity given them to get out side the jail and labor in the open. The prisoners are as well clothed, fed
 and kept as any in the state, but they
 are made to show a profit for the in- stitution that harbors them. This last
 year they earned s7,0S7.36. The total receipts of the jail was $19,s62.S6, and
 the total expenditures $16,546.22. Included in the receipts were $10,- | 243.01 from the state for prisoners | board, $446.67 from the sale of milk
 and cream from the jail dairy. s44S.62 | for wood and lumber sold, $586.69 for produce sold from the jan farm, $607. .04 | lOr pOIh, veal, peer ana nlucs SOlu IrOnl the jail farm, $27e.S5 from the sale of
 ice harvested by the prisoners. | Jailer Albert Fields is in direct 1 charge of the management of the insti-
 tuition and to him in a large' measure
 is due the showing that makes it a
 model for the state. The system of
 handling affairs has given the county a fat and growing bank account; the
 money in the treasury is to be placed at interest, thus adding another source | of revenue.
