Hartford, Dec. 30-The most I'm
portant action taken by State league
magnates since James H. O'Rourke
was elected president marked the d.
rectors' meeting Of the Connecticut
league to ratify the constitution OF
the organization, yesterday. at the
Hotel Garde, when the baseball men
voted to close the Connecticut league

Connecticut league circuit for an en-
tire season and If any addition to the
number of teams is made no more
than six clubs will be allowed to take
part in the league race until 1913 The
directors are satisfied that this step
Is a wise one and for the benefit of
the league.
The staff of umpires OF the Con-
necticut league receive a raise in SAL
aries next season, according to the
action Of the directors yesterday. The
s. per single game The umpires last
year in the State league received $3.50.
In the coming season the umpires. &C
cording to action taken last night.
will receive s12 for doubleheaders.
For doubleheaders last year they re-
will get So. The raise in umpire sal.
aries indicates that better men will
be provided for the league next sea-

FRENCH FIGHTER IS
FIGURED, AS COMING
STAR IN Be M..G WORLD

There's many a ffstic argument on
for next Monday afternoon, but there
is none which will attract more gen.
era! interest than that at the Fair
mont Club New York on New Years
afternoon between Marcel Moreau, the
French middleweight champion, and
Jack Denning, the clever welterweight
If Moreau lives up to his reputation
and stops Denning he will be kept very
busy Walter Coffey Will be the first
on the waiting list. and after Coffey
will come Frank Klaus, victory over
whom will give Moreau the champion
to plug away at the New Polo A. G.
ship of the world. Moreau continues
He wants the public to be right on his
ability. He says that fnfghting is
not the strongest thing in his make
up. He says he can box as well as
any man of his weight in this coun-
try. He can prove this when he meets
Denning.

Eddie Hart Has
Returned Cash To
Generous Alumni
Princeton's Victorious Foot
ball Captain, Refused to
Accept Money from Wor-
shipping Graduates.

Princeton, Dec. 3o-"Eddie" Hart.
captain Of Princeton's CHAMPION foot
bali team, will not allow 'hero-wor-
shipping alumni to dig down in their
pockets for the purpose Of filling his
purse just because he Is a football
hero. For the sake Of this principle
Hart has returned several hundreds OF
dollars worth of checks sent him by
Princeton alumni and declared he
didn't care to make money out Of his
position in football. He also gave
up a chance to win a scholarship.
Hart had agreed to magazine propo-
81 Ton which called for him sending
letters to alumni in which he asked
them to subscribe to the publication
and which would probably have netted
him a few thousand dollars and a
scholarship.
So popular is Hart among the Alumni
that for week he has been fairly
swamped with replies, each containing
check for a subscription for one or
more years.
After the first batch Of letters was
received and Hart was many dollars
richer he thought it unfair to the
alumni and sent out letters through
the college publ 'a'fon apologizing and
returned the money.
