more games than any ten catchers you
are apt to meet, acquitted himself with
credit in holding down Mute and Bene-
dict. Between the two it was a toss-up.
Both captains early showed that STRAIT
egy was their long suit. No better evil
dence of their determination to win by
craft if by no other means could be de-
sired than the disposition which each
showed in changing and shifting posi-
tions. All told, an even thirty men APP
peared in the lineup of both teams,
counting Henry Fasola, who took pinch
htter's chance for the lean men i'll the
last half of the gloomy ninth.
Scoring Begins Early.
In their half of the first, the Fats
pushed a trio of runs across the pan
through brace of hits by Attridge
and Mute and two passes. The Leans
came back with the wallop, however, and
the end of the initial skirmish saw them
leading the Fats by margin of one.
Enterprise, four passes, an error by
Rounds and lone bingle by jackson
were responsible for the quartet of
counters. Something like deluge OF
marks came into the Fats score column
in the third when Attridge, Rounds and
Tilden came across with timely bingles,
which, when augmented by couple OF
errors, Melted the ground gamers anoth-
err bunch of four. Operations on the
part Of the Fat men were quickely
squelehed in the next round by a fast
double in which Holt and Ennis were
the shining figures.
Meanwhile the Leans had been adding
to their collection to the extent of two
safe ones by Ennis and Holt in the third
brought in one and McLean's sizzling
triple was responsible for another in the
fourth Not until the sixth did the Fats
negotiate any additions. In that chap
ter. Wishart's never to be forgotten
three Dagger and singles by Jackson and
Mills brought the total up to ten. Err
rors contributed to the eleventh run in
the eighth and with man down in
the ninth Gall Benedict, Reynolds and
Wishart started batting bee that net
ted another trio of counters. The total
was left at fourteen.
Most of the scoring done by the lean
team came in dribbles. Singles by pitch
er Wishart and Mclean corraled anoth-
er run in the firth, one came in the sixth
through an outfield error and some phe-
nominal baserunning by Ennis and an
other in the eighth as the result Of Wish
arts bang to center and base on balls.
Tim Kenefek got life ON muffed
third strike in the ninth and completed
the bases in some manner before Wood

retire in order. The score;

their meeting yesterday in the form OF
letter or a personal statement is not
known but ii is understood that he
places his reason for severing official
connection with the road on the ground
that there is a disposition to hold the
president of the railroad eriminally re-
sponsible for acts which might be com
mitted by an engineer OF other employee
of the railroad company and of which
the president might not have the slight
est knowledge. He felt that having a
wife and children he could not face the
serious personal responsibility which his
position imposed upon him under these
circumstances.
1t is reported also, on good authority,
that reorganization of the board of di-
rectors of the New Haven is contemplat-
ed with the approval of the stockholders
protective committee. These plans are
said to contemplate the immediate re-
tirement of Mr.. Mellen as chairman Of
the board executive committee of the
directors and the placing of the manage
ment in the hands of strong commit
tee OF members of the present dictor
ate.
1t was stated an influential factor in
the board of directors favors the sale of
the eompany's water lines and many, If
not ALL its trolley roads. So far as it
can reasonably be accomplished, it is
believed the New Haven will relinquish
control of the Boston & Maine.
The man who has been most favorably
considered as likely to succeed President
Mellen is Howard Elliott, president of
the Northern Pacific railway, who re-
Gently has been in New England and
whose name was mentioned in connec-
tion with the presidency of the Boston &
Maine railroad.
Mr.. Mellen became president of the
New Haven system in October, 1908.

Some chronic sufferers from rheu-
matism are human barometers.
They can recognize by the growing
pains in their tender joints and
muscles the slightest increase OF
moisture in the air, even change
in the direction of the wind.
Such condition of supersensi-
tiyenessis always attended with thin
blood. The watery, poison-laden
fluid that fills the arteries must be
built up and purified before there
can be any progress toward per-
manent recovery. The problem of
medicine is not to cure single at
tack OF rheumatism but to eradi-
cate it from the system and
strengthen the body to resist an
other attack. This can be done by
building up the blood.
Mr.. Israel Dearborn, of Corinna,
Maine, says: II had always had
more or less rheumatism in my
back and in my legs from the knees
down, but it was not until few
years ago that | began to suf-
fer severely from the disease. Then
| had such a severe attack that /
was confined to the house for two
weeks and was unable to use my
legs. | also had pains in my arms.
The pains became 80 intense that /
could hardly move and / had to lie
down most OF the time. Ihad been
sick for six months when some one
recommended DR.. Williams Pink
Pills to me. They quickly relieved
me and drove the disease entirely
out of my system"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are an
excellent tonic for the blood and are
absolutely safe. Our booklet,
Building Up the Blood" is free
on request and should be read by
every rheumatic sufferer.

A GREAT CROWD
STOOD AMAZED
There Were Some Startling
Performances on God
dard Campus

Fats and Leans came together in base
ball at Goddard campus yesterday aft
ernoon in one of the most madly excit-
ing games since the diamond became the
stage for great national pastime. 1t
was signal victory for obesity for the
Fats Waited, or waddled rather, to the
wire with the large end IF IA to 10
argument in their favor. Not since the
halcyon days at lntercity park has any
baseball field in Washington county been
the scene of such long and conten-
tious struggle for supremacy.
On the one side the Leans, the pick
of the city. and on the opposing team
the plumpest citizens that coarse tooth
comb could rake out of the highways
and hedges The campus took on the
appearance of an old home week affair
for fans of every hue and color, every
sex and all ages swarmed the bleaehers.
There were 500 OF them, according to
the most conservative estimate. The
proceeds went to the City hospital and
the game was the initial encounter Of
series which the fat and lean people in
tend to pull off during the summer.
Gate receipts from each contest will be
donated to the hospital and everybody
who cast casual eye over the throng
at yesterdays get-together agreed that
the one time knights of the diamond had
made handsome start.
Capt George N. Tilden led the fat
forces against their less corpulent adj
versaries, who were captained by Frank
w. Jackson. The eannonading started
early and when the dust of battle had
rolled away after the first inning, to-
tai of seven ITALICS had been garnered.
His honor, Mayor w, H. Ward threw
the first two balls at the catcher. II
may be mentioned here that one went
over the plate and the man at bat
missed it by a mile. The other skirted
the corner but the umpire called it a
ball Charles Wishart. an erstwhile
Goddard seminary twirler, then took
charge of the heaving and began to NOW
down the fat swatsmen. The game was
on.
Some Fat Stars.
What followed well nigh beggars de-
scription. For individual brilliancy, the
most lucious plums must be handed to
Reynolds, Joe w. Jackson and Attorney
Will Wishart. Not that they were the
only ones to cover themselves with
glory, for there were startling plays re-
vealed aplenty almost anywhere in the
roped arena. Charles Wishart was main
stay enough in the artillery department
to weather the storms of nine innings
and looked good for more when the gong
sounded and the referee passed the palms
over to the fat men. Hen Mute and
Matte Benedict had charge of the twirl-
ing for the fat brethren and when Henry
grew weary of the pitching game, Bene
dict came across with bunch Of benders
that were never very readily solved.
Comparison of the teams by their per-
1crmanee would be altogether odious, but
it must be admitted that an even bet
would cover the situation at the back
stop position. John Mclean, we'll
known catcher in the old days, stood at
the heavy end of the firing line for the
Leans and Dick Attridge, who has caught
