these years. the National League gained
strength. while in the American League
the veterans were dropping by the way
side. But now the Youngsters OF 1905 and

three years every team In the American
League has been recruiting. Connie
Mack was the first manager to get a
team of youngsters and experienced vet

It is probable that the wrecking pro-

of the Chicago team may get the grand

in the worlds series this year. In other
camps the work has been going on for

Cincinnati team; John McGraw has de-

Although no important changes took
place in the standing of the teams during
the past week, some surprises were hand
ed over that We're entirely unexpected.
The Auditors came strong and defeated
their ancient enemies. the Bookkeepers,
taking three games and dropping the lat
ter team to third position. Claim
strengthened its hold upon the honor po-
sition by trimming Law for three games
and incidentally bowling the high team
set. LAS.
The Controllers are deteriorating.
After a good start they have bowled
poorly and are now anchored in the low
position next to the despised Transporta-
ton. Their best bowlers, Lehman and
Hoskins, have failed to deliver.
The Bookkeepers early in the week won
the set from the Controllers and ex-
pected to make 1t q banner week by
landing on the downtrodden Auditors
But things happened with the result
stated somewhere above.

CHESS CHAMPION OF
AMERICA ON VISIT
Marshall Will Meet All Corners
in Chess and Checkers Ex-
hibitions at Local Club.

Frank J. Marshall Of Brooklyn, the bril-
liant exponent of chess, who succeeded
the late Harry n Pillsbury as chess
champion of the United States, is slated
for a three-day visit to the Washington
Chess and Whist Club. Ga 18th street
northwest commencing tomorrow week,
November %. Marshall Is accompanied
on his tour by e. Nicholson, one of the
strongest players of the west, formerly
western champion, and the two will, no
doubt, provide an entertaining and profit
able chess menu for the local followers
Of the game Valuable prizes are Of
fered to all opponents who draw or win
against the American champion either In
individual or simultaneous play.
Marshall fully maintained his great rep
utation among the European masters in
the big tourney held at Hamburg. Ger
many, last spring. The individual en-
counter between him and DIR. Tarrasch,
champion of Germany, on this occasion
was the sensation Of the tourney.
One never knows what line Of play
Marshall will adopt in an important con-
test. He has, in fact, effected more sur
Irises in the big chess events In recent
years than any other player OF modern
times. At Hamburg, for instance, he IA
vored the Max LANCE attack, q supposed
obsolete variation OF the Scotch gambit.
But what he did with this opening to DR..
Tarraschs acknowledged to be the fore
most chess analyst of the age, astonished
the entire chess world. This game. which
was won by Marshall in faultless style,
was the choice titbit of the tourney.
The doctors own published review of
this game gives an interesting sidelight
On chess as game. After commenting
on a number Of the more important
moves, he concludes with the remarkable
statement that here was a game where
black CDR. Iarrasch) found himself with
a lost game, although not a single move
made by him could be called bad.
Visitors are welcome to the clubrooms
at any time, and especially in connection
with the exhibitions to be given by
Messrs. Marshall and Nicholson.

CITY FILM FLAMMED SAYS
 FORMER FIRE COMMISSIONER
Franchise to Lay Underground Duct Granted Free of Charge to United Illuminating Co.,; But City Has Not Obtained Right to Use Duct for Fire Alarm Telegraph Wires.

to- supply the city with ducts for nothing in every instance that it put it's wires underground, but that the United Illuminating Go. had put down an iron pipe which was of no use to the city.
 Asked what the agreement was be- tween the city and the United Illuni- hating Co. relative to the underground wires, MT. Bullard made a search of a number of records and said that the only thing he could find was in the Common Council proceedings of May 6, 1907, where it is reported that Alderman Thomas O'Brien moved "an amendment to the report that the United Illuminating Go. be requested to allow the fire depart ment to place it's wires in conduits, in separate ducts in streets where the fire alarm telegraph wires were not already underground"
 The contract between the city and the United Illuminating Go. in refer ence to digging up the streets to lay the conduits was signed by Mayor Reynolds and City Attorney James A. Marr and is published in the year book of 1907.
 MT. Bullard said this morning that it looked as though the city had been finn -fiammed some way.
 President Crawford now wants to know why the United Illuminating Co. made a pretense of laying a duct, in the shape of an iron pipe, if there was no contract calling for it.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-01-22

The United Illuminating Co. is not bound to provide Q duct in it's under ground conduit for the installation of the wires of the fire alarm telegraph although members of the fire com mission supposed they were as did many private citizens.
 President G. B. Crawford of the Fire Commission raised the question at the meeting of the board last night, desiring to know how the fire department stood on the matter. This morning the president stated that he was going to take up the matter with the city attorney for the purpose of ascertaining the status of an agreement he understood had been made with the city by the electric what the United Illuminating Co. had provided for the fire alarm wires was an iron pipe that was laid on top of the conduit, and which was no use to the city. In some instances he un- derstood that the pile had been torn up in the laying of new pavement be- cause it was too near the surface of the street and would not permit a change in grade for the paying of permanent pavement.
 A Farmer reported asked Former President A. H. Bullard about the matter this morning. MT. Bullard said that there was a clear under standing about ducts for underground wires with the Southern New Eng land Telephone Co. who had agreed

Pale and wild-eyed, fearful of the erf1owing, John Marock,- alias Jan Jankiewicz, and Bartoni Laski, were held in bail of $15,OOO each by Jus tice Bacon Wakeman in the Fairfield town court this morning, probable cause being found after technical ar raignment of the two prisoners.
 Marock broke down completely on being taken out of the county jail this morning and wnined like a whip ped cur. He was afraid of his life when he saw the mob awaiting his al rival in Fairfield, and renewed his moaning.
 Never mind, Marock," counselled Sheriff HaWley. You're a good deal safer with us than you would be if we set you free out here"
 He was right, for there has never heen committed in Fairfield an out rage that has come in for more gen. eral and heated indignations than the attempt to kill Annie Moskil by hurl- ing her down the well of William Ferris last Saturday night.
 Laski showed much less concern than Marock, but that he was pretty we'll alarmed at sight of the crowd in Fairfield was apparent.

At torney Clitus H. King of Fairfield, re- presenting the state, joined issue, and the court Overruled the demurrer and found probable couse.

FAILS TO KILL
 LAWYER WEBB
Leading New Haven Attor- ney, Shot In His Office By Insurance Agent New port, Has Chance of Re- cOV6rV

New Haven, Jan. 22.-Howard c. Webb former city attorney of New Haven and one of the leading Repub- licans of the State who was shot in his law office yesterday by w. K. Newport, an insurance man, is believed today to be rapidly recovering. The bullet struck him in the stomach and lodged several inches higher in the ribs where it was extracted about an hour after the shot was fired.
 pr. E. R. Whittemore, one of Webb $ physicians, announced this morning that his patients recovery is prac- tically assured unless blood poisoning, which is highly improbable. sets in.
 It is now an established fact that Webb had feared bodily harm at the hands of Newport for some time. It is learned that Webb and the insur- ance man have had several wranglings over the manner in which Newport shall pay the alimony to his wife or dered paid by the court when her de- cree for divorce was granted several months ago after a long and sensa- tiona1 suit had been heard It was at Webb's request that recently the police revoked Newport's permit to carry a revolver. the attorney declaring that Newport was not a safe man to carry wea COn.
 Newport is today locked up without bond Many rumors are af1oat regard ing the mans sanity and it is not inn probable that steps will be taken by the attorneys, in view of Newport s alleged strange actions for several months past, to have his reason test ed
