TOO MANY CONFLICTS
IN EASTERN CONN. DATES.
Schedule is Poor One for All the
Clubs. Says Benoit Of Norwich
Taftvile.

Manager Benoit of the Norwich
Taftville team of the Eastern Connec-
ticut league is criticising the schedule
adopted at the meeting this week on
the ground that it has too many con-
fiicting dates for the sixNball teams,
that is, the dates are punched either In
the north. central or south end of the
territory on the same day, when bet
ter plan would be to assign the games
go that all parts Of the territory would
have some game that they could go to
every Saturday.
Another objection pointed out by
Manager Benoit since he has studied
on the schedule Is the way team is
sent away from home for several Sat
uroay's in succession. The Norwich
Taftville manager has schedule
drawn up which avoids all this, he
says, and he believes it would be worth
while for the league to consider a
change and adopt his schedule for the
mutual heneflt of the teams.
Manager Benoit's analysis of the
schedule already adopted is as follaNs:
1t shows twelve conflicting dates,
twenty -four times when teams play
two games. away before they play at
home, and once when a team plays
three games away before they play at
home.
Both Norwich and Jewett City have
five conflicting dates, Dayville and
Wauregan have five and Putnam and
North Gresvenordale have two. In
this manner I believe one team Is
taking money away from another, es-
pecially Dayville and Wauregan, which
both depend greatly on Danielson.
There should be no conflict between
any of the teams which are paired for
holidays. Four times during the sea
son Putnam, Dayville, Wauregan play
at home on the same day, while there
are no games either in Norwich or
Jewett City for the followers of the
league. From q financial standpoint
the schedule is q very poor one Tor all
teams, as every team is taking money
away from another while there is no
necessity of it.
Every team should play six games
with each other and the schedule does
not come out that way, and cannot be
made to unless it is/a new schedule,
and 1 believe the league will have to
adopt a new one.
Norwich and Jewett City have five
conflicting dates, May %, June 5, July
81. Aug IL, Sept. II. Wauregan and
Dayville have FIVE conflicting dates.
May Is, %. June ~, Aug. p, Sept. Is.
Putnam and North Grosvenordal9 have
two conflicting dates, May s. Aug. Z.
-Four times during the season Nor
witch plays two games away before they
play at home. Jewett City three times,
Wauregan four times, Dayville three
times, Putnam four times, North
Grosvenordale six times. Once during
the season Putnam plays three games
away before they play at home at all.

The winning fall was won with
Gotchs famous toe hold. The French
man allowed his shoulders to be put to
the mat almost without an effort.
Goteh really won the bout in the first
fall when he so weakened De Rouen
with the toe hold that his opponent
did not care to repeat the experience
in the second fall. De Rouen broke
The hold by a superhumau effort this
time, but when Gotch got int on him

dodge Packey Mcfarland, owen Mo-

to go back to Australia with promoter
