 Alderman Mahoney suggested that they close up Warren and Atlantic streets and give it to the petitioning company.

BASEBALL NOTES

The Pittsburg Pirates have decid ed not to give Buster Brown of the New Britain team trial and have hold him back to Manager O'Neil This is not bit surprising as wher Brown was purchased last season ii was the talk of the circuit that the player was purchased to prevent his drafting by some other club.
 Archie Marshall who filled ir around the HOlyOke infield last sea son is said to have received offers to umpire in the@Connecticut Tri-State and New England leagues. Marshall announced at the end of last season that he would seek a. berth as an in his playing days were about over, his throwing wing having gone back on him.
 The Connecticut league loses the best umpire it ever had in Bobby Hart who on saturday signed two years contract to officiate in the Eastern league. Hart saw President Barrows of the Easterns in New York Saturday completing all arrange ments. The Eastern league is tu have eight umpires, two working in each game.
 There is a possibility that after all Mickey Finn may be the Waterbury manager again next season. He made an attempt to break into the Texas league with a team in Little Rock, his former headquarters, but there, was nothing doing. About that new Ieag que out in Utah, Finn admits that he never had any intention of taking a franchise, not caring to take a risk in a new and uncertain organ ization. Finn can get together all the desirable funds for the purchase of the controlling stock of the Water bury club. It is stated that the stock can be purchased for s4,50O.
 Says the Syracuse Herald anent the evident intention of Manager Ashenback to retain Jack Deal the former Holyoke single-sacker for next seasons Stars: If Ash figures on again uring Deal at first base he will not gain the team any popular ity in this city. The fans want clean baseball and Snake" Deal has dem onstrated that while he is a first-class ball player he is not a gentleman on the diamond and that is what the fans here demand. Baseball is the cleanest sport before the public to- : day, and it is up to the managem ment of the Stars to maintain that high standard in this city.
 "Other clubs want Deal. Nobody denies that he is a good player and

FISHER ALMOST
 CAME TO YALE
The Ellis Narrowly Missed Getting Harvard Football Captain.

A man does not always know his own mind, nor does a collegian all ways understand why he chooses this or that institution for his alma mater. The action of Bob Fisher. Harvard s new football captain. is a case in point.
 Like most of Andover's stars, the Harvard captain had every intention of entering Yale. and even went so far as to engage his room at New Haven. yet that room was newer oc- cupied. and he was never seen with in the walls of Connecticut's great in stitution.
 Robert Thomas Fisher prepared at Newton and Andover academy, and his clever work as tackle at the latter institution for three years made him the most highly regarded football man in preparatory circles. During the time he was preparing for college he fully intended to enter Yale even up to the day that he was graduated from that academy. Practically all his schoolmates and clubmates who had played on the same elevens that he had, were to become wearers of the blue also. Among those who had already gone to Yale or who were going were his closest friends, includ- ing many famous athletes such as Fred DaIy. captain of last years Yale team; John Fitzpatrick the All-Amer- fan end; Fuller. left guard. and Me- Davitt. right guard on the Yale eleven ; Brooks Reilly Freeman and Green ough of the same team. Of the 1909 championship Yale eleven. the follow ing well known players had also come from Andover: Goebel. Ham Andrus, Henry Hobbs and Fred Murphy Thus it may be easily seen that it would be contrary to all custom. to say the least. for Fisher to have considered going to any other college
 After he had graduated from An dover in 1907 he spent a year with a Boston firm and then commenced thinking of college. Everybody ex- pected he would join his former scom- panions at Yale. but without saying a word to his friends he gave up the room which he had engaged at New Haven and entered Harvard

 .North Attleboro, Mass, Jan. IT, When the regular town meeting of this place convenes, tonight it will face a situation such as it never has faced before, in the practical open revolt of the workingmen. The situa- ton was brought about when last nights special town meeting broke up in an uproar that was only pre- vented from becoming a free for all fight by the police, when a coterie of business men tried to force through an appropriation of $20,009 to pay the Boston & Providence In- terurban Railway for expenses in moving its tracks to benefit several large factories.
 Selectman Devlin. backed by sew eral hundred workingmen, opposed the measure, declaring the manufac- turers benefited or the railroad should pay the expense.

No samples will be carried, but at
each town the trade boomers will

many of them have not heretofore en-
joyed, although probably having dealt
with each other for years.
