PREHISTORIC SKULL IS FOUND
Interesting Fossil Mammals Dug Up
Near Cumberland, Md.

BALTIMORE, December 9.-The recent
important discovery of fossil mammals
Of heretofore unknown origin in the lime
stone caverns near Cumberland, Md, led
the Academy Of Sciences to Immediately
dispatch its collector. John Wigden. to
the spot. He has returned, bringing to
the academy a most interesting and val
liable collection Of these fossils.
The deposits were found In the lower
Helgerburg formation and have been
visited by the representatives of the
United States National Museum, who de-
clare them to be among the most Valu-
able ever unearthed in this country. 1t
is thought that these discoveries will
throw new light upon the mammal life
of the heretofore known prehistoric spe-
cies of this country, but which may have
their duplicates among the fossils found
in Africa.
The new extension of the Western
Maryland railroad, cutting through a hill
west of Cumberland, uncovered these de-
posits, which are giving to science most
imp ortant problem to study.
One of the most interesting specimens
Is that of the skull of an animal like the
ape A piece of the outer petrified bone
having been removed. the brain is shown
in a perfect state of petrification-fossil.
bones, teeth, etc, imbedded in hard and
emi-hard limestone are as perfect as the
day they were engulfed. ages ago.
The specimens will be on public exhi-
bition after today at the academy rooms,

FAR FROM BEING A CORPSE.
Jimmy Carroll Surprises Friends
Who Come to Attend His Funeral.

NEW YORK. December 9-An imp os-
ing array of taxicabs carried many of
the veteran sporting men of New York
city to Sheepshead Bay last night to at
tend the funeral Of Jimmie Carroll,
old-time prize fighter Brooklyn Jim
mic" was popular for years along Broad
way, and when word of his death from
injuries in train accident reached
Broadway all of his old admirers agreed
to attend the funeral in body
When they reached the Carroll house
they were a little surprised that there
was no crepe on the door. Are We too
late for the last sad rites?" asked Jack
McAuliffe. former worlds lightweight
champion.
The answer came promptly from the
darkened hallway. It was in Jimmie
Carrolrs own voice, and the language
was emphatic.
I'll prove to the man who started the
story of my death that ] am far from
dead!'' cried Carroll, as the astonished
men filed into his parlor He explained
that he had been injured as reported,
but was now we'll on the road to re-
covery.

LEAGUE TAKESUP
BRESNAHAN'S CASE
Players Claim for $4,000 to
Be Argued by Counsel Be-
fore Magnates.
INTERLEAGUE SCHEDULE
MAY BE ADOPTED
Tinker Deal Is On Again, and
Cub Star May Manage Gin
Cinnati After All.

NV YORK, December 9.-Roger Bres-
nahan's claim against the st. Louis base
ball club for $4,000 in satisfaction Of his
fve-year contract. terminated by the
clubs owner at the end of the first year,
was the chief subject discussed today by
directors Of the National League, whose
annual meeting will begin here tomorrow.
Both the club and Bresnahan are rep
resented by counsel. Meanwhile, it is
understood Bresnahan is still considering
an offer of $4,000 a year to catch for
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
August Hermann Of Cincinnati. chair
man Of the national commission. spoke
with renewed hope today Of his proposed
interleague championship series Of sixty
four games after each major league cir
cult has played 112 games. 1t is probable
that the plan will come up for discussion
tomorrow. Mr.. Hermann proposes a
joint meeting Of the major leagues to go
over the situation.
Herrmann's Scheme.
1.-The interleague schedule is bound to
be adopted in due time he said today.
Its sure thing that New York fans
would relish games here between the
teams during August. September and a
part Of October. after McGraw's men
have played a 112-game schedule with all
the National League teams.
I'm Cincinnati, under my plan. the Reds
would play the Highlanders. Red Sox,
Athletics. White Sox. Detroits. Cleoe
lands. Washingtons and Browns. who
have never bee. seen there before. The
Giants would draw we'll in Cleveland,
Detroit and Washington. where they are
strangers. The Brooklyn club would be
able to provide entirely new attractions
at Ebbets Field after the fans had grown
tired of seeing the Cubs, Pirates, Reds,
Phillies and other National League out
fits
The deal whereby Joe Tinker was to go
from Chicago to Cincinnati in trade for
certain players, was still hanging fire this
morning, but It was said negotiations
were we'll under way again and that the
trade probably would be consummated
this week.
Although McGraw Of the Giants has
been quoted as saying he is a candidate
for president Of the National League, pre-
dictiOns were today that President Lynch
would be reelected tomorrow without
much opposition.
International League magnates, in ses-
sion here today. had little but routine
business to transact. The principal bust
ness for consideration was the players
salary limits.

COL0RED SCHOLARS
BUSY AT BASKET BALL
Different Divisions Had Many
Games Scheduled Last
Week.

The Thirteenth Division Athletic
League began its schedule of games al
the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium last week,
and the start was rather inauspiciOus
Three forefeitures marked the seasons
opening. The committee has worked HARD
to induce an interest in the sport, bu,
conditions in that division do not favor
the indoor game, largely because of lack
of practice place and because few of the
players ever attend basket ball games
One bright spot was. however, the trim
ming of Randall by Lincoln. This is
Lincoln Schools first attempt at the
court game. and that It came off with
honors is due to large extent to the
coaching received by the son of the prin.
cipal, a capable performer himself This
division has games all this week at the
Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium.
In the eleventh division the four games
played were well contested. Langston
Garnet and Mott proved true surprises
Slater heavyweight quint had all that
it could do to defeat the Mott aggrega-
ton, which earlier in the season it had
trimmed to the tune of 26 to 6. and this
time could not muster a greater score
than to 0. Horad and Gilmore were
stars Of the game, but all the players
did we'll.
Slater lighteight was outpiayed by
the team from Garnet School. Garnet
had perhaps a superior team at their
last meeting, in which Slater won by the
score of II to ., but on this occasion
they had received some coaching from
an experienced player and the long end
OF the score Of & to . was theirs.
Bruce heavyweight team came upon
the scene on this occasion with form
sufficient to defeat the Langston heavy
weight team by the score of S to 3.
Neither team was brilliant. but improve
ment was noticed in the performance of
each. That basket ball and other teams
will take q brace at the schools men,
toned is assured from the work shown
the other night
weight boys from Langston, which as
sures them a place in the semi finals to
be played in the race for the division
championship. The Langston team
proved a more Interesting proposition
than formerly and although never hav-
ing a chance to win kept in the play
to the finish. Epps of Cook played an
excellent game and although not In a
position to star, was yet bright spot
on the team for his consistent playing.
Morris also played a good game.
Chairman Wilkinson has the hardest
set of teams in the lists just now to

the thorough manner in which he is man.

BARS TANGO ARGENTINE"
Governing Board Excludes Dane,
From Assembly Balls.

CHICAGO, December 9.-The board Of
governors of the Chicago assembly balls,
the leading annual event in the fashion
able life of the city, has just decreed
that the Tango Argentine shall not
be among the dances on the program.
The decision is said to have caused the
biggest controversy that society has
known here for years, many being in
favor of the dance.
The board of governors, which is COM
posed of Arthur Meeker as chief JUS
tice and seventeen other men prominent
in the affairs of the city, did not reach
it's agreement until it had communicated
with the boards of New York and Phila-
delphia assembly balls AS a result only
waltzes and two-steps will appear on the
programs at the dances to be held De-
cember IL and January II.

37 COVENANT TO FORM NEW CHURCH
Little Meeting House Liberty Hl Lebanon, To Be Their Church Home-Severa Denominations Represented and Eleven Join on Confession of Fah-Fruiton of Hopes and Labors of Venerable Exeter PasorHe Delivers the Charge.

was recommended to the fellowship of the New London conference of Con- gregational churches.
 Several Denominations Represented.
 The exercises of the afternoon were simple but most impressive Thirty seven people covenanting together to form a church is quite an unusual thing in this day. But there they were eleven from the Exeter church, seven from the Baptist church of Lebanon, one from the Columbia church, three from the Baptist church of Willimantic and eleven on confession of faith. Among these latter were many young people and three members of the Pro- testant Episcopal church.
 Pastors Who Spoke.
 They were received into the fellow ship of the church by Rev A. J. Park. The right hand of fellowship was giv- en by Rev. Charles B. Bliss of South Wilbraham, Mass, whose father had preached in that same meeting house and where he had attended as a boy. The council prayer of recognition was said by Rev. Henry A. Blake of Col chester The charge to the newly con stituted church was delivered by the I ed to the dignity and weight of his words without detracting a particle from the strength and clearness of his voice or the vigor of his delivery. He spoke of the watchman of the 33d chapter of Ezekial and taking the place of the watchman he warned the people against indulgence of the flesh, against laziness, against Sunday sickness" against taking offense," and also ex- horted them to be faithful workers and hearty supporters of their newly con- stituted church.
 Rev. Joel s. Ives preached a vigorous sermon from the first chapter of Ephe- sians. He said there were two things which must be accounted as fact: the thralldom of sin and the power of Christ to make alive" He said that what the true Christian must strive for was not merely personal salvation but efficient service in the kingdom of God. He said the church was not a club but was an organization open to all who were imbued with true Chris tian purpose.
 Music was very pleasingly rendered by the choir. The delegates were most hospitably entertained at chicken pie dinner in the nearby parish house.
 Exeter Pastor WiIll Rest.
 The veteran pastor, Rev. A. J. Park, of the Exeter church, who on Thursday saw the fruition of his hopes for years past, the answer to his prayer and re- ward of his earnest labor, with physi- cal vigor unimpaired at the age of S9, has resigned his pastorate at the Exc ter church and his work for the Lib erty Hill meeting house and will rest for a few weeks. hoping again to take up his work in some other field. The newly constituted Liberty Hill church has no pastor with which to begin it's existence as a church, but 1t is hoped that one will soon be found to occupy the commodious parsonage and work in this promising new field.
 The aim of the new church is to welcome to it's membership Christian people of all denominations. It al ready has Congregationalists, Baptists,
Norwich bulletin., 1912-12-14

A rather unusual spectacle for well ch9rched Connecticut was witnessed and a memorable event in the history of the little settlement of Liberty Hill occurred when on the afternoon o1 Thursday, Dec. 18th, thirty-seven peo- pie stood up and covenanted together to form a new church. Twenty-six ot these entered the new church by letter from other churches, while eleven en- tered on confession of faith
 This event is only a chapter in the history of the little meeting house on Liberty Hill The house of worship was built by an association of men, each possessing shares in the property. Twenty-two years ago the Liberty Hill religious society was organized, and since that date the people have main tained unbrokenly weekly religious services in that house, including preaching. Sunday school and young peoples meeting. There has never been a settled minister, but the work has been conducted for the most part as mission of the Exeter church.
 For the People Near By.
 Because of the depletion of the Pro- testant population about the Exeter church. that church has dwindled from a large church to a mere handful, and most or Ine acJlFe members i've nedl the Liberty Hill meeting house. The result has been that agitation was started some time ago to form a new church at Liberty Hill. This move ment gained as it was found that there were many members of other Lebanon churches in the village clustering about the Liberty Hili church who were three to four miles from their own churches.
 By the activities of the Rev. A. J. Park of Exeter, together with John Clark of Liberty Hill and others, these elements were all fused together into one church.
 Recommended to New London Confer
 ence.
 Exercises were held morning and af- ternoon on Thursday. In the morning an ecclesiastical council of neighboring churches was held. At this council RsT Joel Ives of Hartford was elected moderator and Rev. Olliott O. Foster Sof Columbia scribe. Evidence as to the advisability of organizing a church was examined and the council voted to recognize the organization as the Liberty Hill church of Lebanon, and 1t
