A jolly Party.

One of the jolliest parties of the
season came off at the Sanderson
home on Litchfeld avenue last
Thursday evening when the Happy
Hooligans entertained the members
of the Silent club. According to
reports the silence was confined en-.
tirely to the name, altho the noise
might have been made by the Hoo.
ligans, who have somewhat of re.
putation, at least in the Chicago
Sunday papers. for making a little
racket now and then.
Leaving aside the question OF
noise, the affair was highly sue
cessful one. The porch had been
decorated with Jack-O-Lanterns,
the curtains and chandeliers in the
different rooms carried black bats,
black cats, and black witches--only
paper ones, Of course, and clusters
Of carnations added brightness and
beauty to the surroundings. Over
it all pumpkin-lights shed their be.
witching light, and everybody felt
properly spooky. Altho the Hooli-
gans had planned all the surprises
for the evening, they in turn had 8

FORFEITS GAME TO
BENSON ELEVEN
Willmar Boys Withdraw Charq
ing Unfair Treatment TO
Benson People.

Benson. was awarded the game
played with Willmar last Saturday
at Benson by the score of l to 0.
In the middle of the second half,
with the score 10 to S in Willmar's
favor, the visiting teams quit,
claiming that Young, who carried
the ball for Benson, rolled further
with the ball after play stopped.
When the referee decided with
Young. Willmar left the field. The
boys claim that this was only one
of a number of unfair decisions on
the part of Clarence Peterson, the
referee, but they do not accuse him
of any Intentional wrong, but are
rather inclined to think that he was
not sufficiently we'll versed in. the
rules of the game. For instance he
did not know what a touch back
was, and after a touch down on one
side Of the field he carried the ball
out from behind the goal parts and
rolled it on the ground.
Udell, coach of the Willma1
team, was put out of the game be.
cause the crowd charged him with
coaching his team as we'll as um-
piring. We cannot but believe
that the crowd was carried away by
a desire to see the home team win,
for Mr.. Udell has had a number Of
years experience in football and
knows the rules. and we do not be.
lieve he would violate any of them.
Such occurrences are to be regret.
ted. The crowd is nearly always
to blame, for it is naturally anxious
to see the home team win. and il
boots anything which gives their
team a setback, even tho the jus.
tice of the decision is ever so clear.
The crowd ought to come to the
game with q desire to see the best
team win. OF course unfair or in.
competent officials ought not to bt

upon the basis of experience. anC
ought not in any way to be identi

KNOTTY PROBLEM DECIDED IN
 THE CITY COURT THIS MORN
 ING WHEN PATRICK GILL WAS
 TRIED FOR THEFT
 Judge Pullman allowed Patrick Gill to go this morning in the city court upon payment of $15 and costs. Gill was charged with stealing big white Bramah rooster from Isaac Rome or Strntford avenue. Gill lives at Tar rington court and has been laid off for a few days from his work at the Singer factory. Saturday he imbibed too much according to his own story and wan dered about in the rear of the Rome residence. falling over a box and at tractfng the attention of Mir. Rome Gill did not see the rooster, he said, but the bird must have followed him out. Rome heard it however and made an investigation. He testified that he dis covered Gill with the rooster under his arm, running up Carrol avenue. He finally caught Gill after he had drop- ped the rooster and they had a tussle in a vacant lot near by where they were discovered by John F. Goulding. a near by resident. Goulding pulled Rome from Gill as they were Strug- gling on the ground. Both men bore scratches as evidence of the fray but there were no indications that blows were struck. Mrs. Rome testified that she saw Gill drop something white when he was chased by her husband and when she followed found the old white rooster dozing on the sidewalk. Judge Pullman could not be made to believe tAat the rooster. chased Gill out of Romefs territory. In fact he said he believed Gill had stolen the chicken l. a <r hs saI hi For the offense on the evidence offered. He no1led the charge of theft and fined Gill heavily for drunkenness.

TEDDYS ARE
 DISBANDED
ERSTWHILE POLO PLAYERS OF THIS CITY ARE HANDED
 AROUND-TEAMS WHICH GET fTEJEM

A surprise was sprung at the meet ing of the National Polo league held yesterday at Providence when it was decided to break up the Bridgeport polo team and distribute the players throughout the league. Lewis was awarded to Providence. Roberts to Lynn. Canavan to New Bedford, Car rigan to Pawtucket and Harper to Fall River. Mccarthy of Fall River, who has been taking the place of Jason on the BrocktOn team was awarded to that city and Loxon, last season with Waterbury but afterwards with the Empire State league was given to Lynn.
 The change goes into effect at once and the players will be with their new teams tonight. Manager Bone was given permission to transfer his team to Lynn. President William E. Smith of this city presented his resignation to the league and William w. Hanna, manager of New Bedford was elected president in his stead. The league ap- propriated SIP of it's funds for the re- lief of Referee Rorty who had his jaw broken in this city about two weeks ago.
 This action will come as a big sur prise to polo fans in this city who have followed affairs in the National league closely. Evidently Lawrence was found to be incapable of supporting polo It looks as if the league magnates were up against it' and that the roseate reports from the league towns have been stuffed. Unless affairs are strengthened out it is predicted that the league will be forced to the wall

AL" O'DELL HAS
 HAD ENOUGH OF
 OUTLAW BASEBALL

To-day the baseball magnates of the country begin a big session in Cincin- nati The principal business to be talk en up will be the long standing issues of the American Association and Eastern League against the National Association of Professional Minor League Baseball clubs. Representa- lives from the rival interests will be present, and whatever action is taken will change the complexion of the na- tional agreement. The American As- sociation at it's meeting in Chicago last week decided to stand by the decision of the National Commission On the other hand stories have been going around that the Eastern league and the American Association have $3,000,- 900 to fight the American and National leagues in case of war. In this con- nection Chicago. Pittsburg and Gin cinnati are mentioned as places where the new league will place teams to compete with the older leagues.
 The case of Joe Kelley. formerly manager of the Boston Nationals will also be taken up. Kelley wants to know if the Boston club has any more right to break contract than play CT has. Other important matters to come up are the reinstatement of out law players. New York Americans want Chase and Brooklyn wants Stricklett and Sebring. President Eb- bets wants Sebring to manage the Brooklyns. Another case to come up that is of interest locally is the ap- plication for reinstatement of SAP O'Dell. formerly of this city but for Tri-State league. It is likely that his -instatement will be opposed by Jim O'Rourke. who is representing the Con- necticut league at the meeting.

CORBETT WILLING TO GO AGAINST
 JACK JOHNSON
FORMER WORLD CHAMPION THINKS HE COULD DEFEAT NEGRO AFTER SIX
 MONTHS TRAINING.

Denver, Col, Jan. 4.-Apparently A. James J. Corbett is sincere in his an- nouncement that he will re-enter the prize ring and endeavor to regain for the white race the worlds heavy weight puglistic championship won by Jack Johnson, the Galveston negro, who recently defeated Tommy Burns in Australia for the title.
 Given six months in which to train properly for the contest, Corbet said that he felt supremely confident he could defeat Johnson. So it is more than probable that should the Austra- liam fight promoters, who have failed to coax Jim Jeffries back into the arena to meet Johnson, take Corbett' s talk seriously and offer a purse for a championship fight, Corbett again would be seen in the ring. Corbett is now 42 years old but he appears to be in perfect physical condition. Since the night of August IA, 1905, when Jeffries knocked him out in ten rounds Corbett has had on boxing glove only once.
 ''But I've always kept up my exer- cise'' said Corbett to-day, "and, phys ically, know I am in better condi- tion than Jeffries, or any of the others outside of these young fellows, who would not have chance on earth with Johnson.
 IT the AuSlTdIldH SIlOOlo like the idea and give me six months in which to train, why, I'll go into the game again, and I think I could get that championship.
 Corbett said that he intended to do some active training at the Denver A. c. next week He said that his weight had not changed much in sev- eral years and that he probably could enter the ring weighing 1855 pounds stripped.
