WATERBURY CLUB FOR SALE.
Dowd's Offer of $500 DecIined-PIay- CTS on Hand Are Nucleus for Good Club.

A new ownership is expected for the Waterbury baseball club before the first of January. It is known that Dan O'Neil has made a bona fide offer for the team in the last two weeks. through President Tracy, but that the figure was not satisfactory to H. R. Durant who controls 80 per cent. of the capital stock. M. J. Finn, former owner of the Little Rock (Arh.) club, has been bidder. but has not yet made an offer satisfactory to the own CT. The best offer has come from Tom Dowd, who has offered $3.50o cash.
 Last year that this time the club could have been bought for a song. The season of 1908 ended with an in- debtedness of $2,S00 and the prospect for 1909 was apparently hopeless one. However, just at the time when the league politicians were to take 1t away from the present owner and hand it to Dan O'Neil, several well known busi- ness men, Thomas W. Fitzmaurice, w. W. Wallace, F. P. Bacon and John Lilley, stepped in and kept 1t going. These men said to go ahead and that they would stand the bills. They had local pride enough to want Waterbury to have a baseball club. The result has been, according to MT. Durant that last years indebtedness is all wiped out, the club faces the season of 1910 with nothing to pay out, and with the nucleus of a fine ball club.x

CHICAGO HAS ALWAYS
 HAD STAR cATcHERs.
Fans in the Western City Accustomed to Good Talent for Thirty Years.

For thirty seasons, almost without an appreciable break, one of the towns upon the big circuit has been favor ed with strangely uniform good for tune in the protection of difficult position, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. During all this long stretch of time the fans of Chicago have been entertained by the finest, most artist ic and most glorious of catching.
 So persistent has been the good luck of the city in this particular posi- tion that Chicago bugs would not know what to say if they saw. catch ing poorly done by the members of the home squad. Other cities have had terrible times trying to get catch CTS who would fill the bill up to big league demands. Never has this hap pened in Chicago. No matter how weak the rest of the teams might be, there has always been great catcher in Chicago.
 Silver Flint Began It.
 Back thirty years ago Silver Flint was the Chicago clubs chief backstop. and he was a marvel. As the years passed Mike Kelly became Flints al- ternate, and the dash and headwork of Kelly, coupled with the reliability and iron strength of Flint, fortified the team tremendously.
 When Kelly went and Flint began to fade Tom Daly joined the team and Daly in his youth was a whirlwind catcher. Then came Charlie Farrell, and the Duke" was a wonder when he was young and slim, even as in the
 Anson Got kittredge.
 In 1890 the Brotherhood took Far rell and Jack Boyle was also brought into play by Comiskey's all-star team. Against these great catchers, who de- lighted the South Side fans, good old Anson introduced Malachi Kittredge, and 'Kitt" became catcher when the teams consolidated.
 Kittredge reigned for years. sharing the honors toward the last with Tim Donahue, a fine catcher and most lov- able comedian. As this powerful pair began to fade Frank Chance arrived. The burly Chance more than made up for the failing strength of "Kitt'' and Tim, but, in turn, gave way when John Kling came on the scene. Frank went to first and King became head catch CT, a position he held undisputed for years, until his own rebellion took him from the aggregation.
 The sub-catcher of the Cubs, Pat Moran, himself of quality about equal to the best on the other teams, was showing good form as Kings suc- ceSsor, when the brilliant Archer was added to the staff and at once became a sensational star. Down on the South Side, meanwhile, through the reign of Kling, Comiskey was depending on Billy Sullivan, and the hardy Turk made good, ranking in the front flight season after season.
 What other city can show the series of great catchers paraded at Chicago through generations changeful time ?

FAKE DETECTED.
Claimed to Be Michael Shea, 19, from Norwich, Deformed, Deaf and Dumb.

State Policeman Robert Hurley rounded up real crooked crook Tues day afternoon, a crook of a type that is more despicable because of the role he assumes. He gives his name. prob- ably fictitious, as Michael Shea, his age as 19 years and his home as Nor wich.
 MT. Hurley can into the fellow over at Attawaugan, where he was solicit ing money from the employees of the mill and had secured S1 49. Shea was limping along, a pitiful sight. with a shriveled and twisted arm and hand holding out card telling of his\ mis- fortunes. Aside from the afflietions mentioned. he claimed to be deaf and dumb as the result of an attack of typhoid fever and the cards that he handed out read to that effect
 Mir. Hurley did not like the looks of him, however. and drove him out of the village. Later in the afternoon, when the officer returned, he found Shea working his game here and lock- ed him up.
 At the police station he claimed to suffer much pain from his infirmities and whined and cried when the officers touched his injured arm. Shea was due for a showing up, however, and got 1t when Dr. E. F. Perry was called in to look him over.
 In about two minutes he was proved a fake. He can hear and talk as well as anyone and has two good arms and supple hands. He admitted and demonstrated that after the physician and officers went at him.
 His wrist is dishgured as the re- suit of some treatment he has given it to aid in his deception of the pub lie, but it is in first class working or der He was given a good showing up before the officers took him down to the police station to spend the night.
 This Wednesday, morning he will be taken to Danielson and turned over to the officers for presentation at the town court The cards he distributed were as follows:

Packard Of Westerly was the candy boy in a rattling finish at the Rose alleys Tuesday night, when he put over a strike in his last box, thereby taking the fifth game and the match at duck pins from the Norwich rollers, Julian Harris and Allie Murphy. Norwich got off in the lead by taking the first game, but the Westerly pair overcame this advantage by taking the next two. The fourth game stirred the excite ment to the boiling point, as it came to the last box with Casey and Harris tied at 106. and Murphy and Packard tied in the ninth box. Allie redeemed a poor frame earlier in the evening by getting 99 to Packard's 97, bringing the games even.4
 On the last and deciding game Har- ris had his man beaten by five pins, but Packard copped the match with his strike at the spectacular moment.

HEAvYwEIeHTs HAVE CLAIM.
Baltic Captain Adds His Word to Cit,
 Championship Controversy.

Capt. Joseph S. Henry of the Baltic football team can see nothing to Man. ager Larkie's claim of the city cham pionship for the Mohicans.
 In letter to the sporting editor of The Bulletin, Captain Henry says:
 Larkie's team did not win a sin gle game from a local team and yet he claims the championship. He said he had only one-half of the regulars in the Heavyweight game. Can any one tell who the regulars are? He never played the same lineup twice
 In Larkie's recent challenge to the Heavyweights, he spoke sneeringly of the same old bunch, Baltic That same old bunch defeated his team TO- 0. l wonder whether he'll use the same old gag about having half of the regulars in that game, or will it be laid to the referee, to explain his defeat there. He arranged another game for Thanksgiving morning, but squealed the early part of the week, saying he wanted larger guarantee. Did he really need more money .or was 1t case of cold feet? By de- feating Baltic, the Heavyweights won the championship and are the only ones who have a rightful claim to it."
