Now that the recorders court has

siderable saving to the city in main'

Court officials are hguring that Ger.

and that while awaiting those days,
or periods of days, the Jury can be
excused. This means Z saving OF
$50 = day for every day that the
jurors do not appear In court. Here.

the clearing Of the docket makes It
possible for the Judges to call the

cases.
& The present condition, toward which
the court has been working for many
years-there were hundreds Of cases
on the docket, :, few years ago. and
the number has. been reduced gradu-
ally until there Ii now NO docket Ct

 cIeverest men in the game and bears scarcely a sign of his pro- fession, either in type and demeanor or in the way of scars of battle. Mo- Goorty has shown us. ever since he came here at the expense of Dave Smith whom he knocked out twice, in half a round and the tenth round, that he has a punch in either hand that is like a kick from a horse; can land it, too, for it holds quite a number of the coveted Ks"
 They had met twice before, So that they were wise to each others meth ods. These bouts were limited to a ten-rounder at Denver, Colorado, on was a draw. and F rounds, on June 13 of the same year. at Butte, Montana, when the referee awarded a verdict on points to Clabby, who had been
 knocked down
 
 round, but who. in the official eye. had made up enough points afterwards to hold winning margin at the end. This can easily be recognized to have been probably a correct view, for it often so occurs in Queensbury boxing. We had a remarkable instance of this here in Sydney no later than February last, when Sid Sullivan
 knocked Jimmy Hill
 clean off his feet five or six times dur ing the 20 full rounds, and yet was ab solutely and unQueStionably outpointed by Hill who got the decision at the end; a verdict that was received with cheers. Intense interest was taken in the meeting of McGoorty and Clabby here in Sydney, despite the fact that both were aliens. They are of our own race, blood, and color, any way and both are extremely, and deserv- edly, popular. Therefore the starium was crowded, and many of the un- reserved portions were filled excep- tionally early.

TWO sTRAIoHTs FOR
 MooSUP GRAYs
Score was Made 3-1 Against DanieIson
 by AII-around Playing.

In one of the fastest exhibition of ball playing ever seen on the Carpet grounds this season, the Grays de- feated the strong Danielson team by the score of 8 to 1. The all-around playing of the grays was of a sensa- tional nature every man playing bril- liant ball and gave Pard Phillip, who was on the ireing line for the Grays perfect support This makes Pard's fifth game with the locals and he has won them all he has made good with tho fans here and by his clever work in the box is rapidly putting the Grays in line for the championship This game was the second one of the series of three with the visitors. On Saturday Moosup went to Danielson and put the first one over on them by the score of to 3. It has been re- ported that Manager Hughes of the All Stars team of Norwich had a line on Phillips for his trip through Maine, also that the Taftville management was trying to get him in their line up but Manager Amidon of the Grays wishes to state that he has booked Pard for this season. Moosup goes to Voluntown next Saturday and will try hard to bring home the bacon. Phil lips and Robittail vii be the batteries for the Grays as usual as Moosup plays Sunday ball Manager Amidon wishes to hear from some of the lead ing teams in the state.

ALL STARS POSTPONE
 TRIP ONCE MOE
Manager Hughes Wants a Strong Pitching Staff-WouId Like to Play VoIuntown.

Manager Hughes, said last night that he would be compelled to post pone the All Stars tour of Maine un- til next Monday. owing to the fact that he was shy a couple of twirlers. By waiting until next week Babe Adams and Pard Phillips will be able to accompany the team although they could not go this week. Manager Hughes is in communication with Sheldon who twirled such good ball for the Brown University Freshmen and he will probably take the trip,
 Of course plenty of pitchers of the ordinary calibre could be secured but the Stars are out after the champion ship of New England and nothing but first class men will do. Bill Anderson will go to help out in the catching and Dennison and Flanders are two twirl- CTS being considered. The games scheduled for this week will be played on the same days next week.
 The Stars are out to schedule fast team for this Sunday on the Cranberry so that the people of Eastern Connec- ticut can see the same team that will tour Maine work together for the first time. Voluntown is preferred.
