country. Root which way the tide is turning
and refused to be candidate for reelection fear
ing defeat.
Senator Smoot of Utah. took his seat in the
Senate March q, 1903 and his third term will begin
March d: When he first entered the Senate he
was inclined to be progressive and petitions by
the carload were sent to the Senate charging him
with being a polygamst. This forced Smoot to ally
himself with the money power and the campaign
for his removal ceased and his is insured for
another six years. Smoot is engaged by the
Shipping trust in trying to torpedo the Democratic

COMPETITION FOR BULLETIN CUP
Taftvie and Planeld Clash in Initial Association Football Game of All Teams Register Players Killing iy Has Fast Aggregation.

The opener of the Association foot ball season in competition for The Bulletin cup will take place this aft- ernoon, when the old rivals. Taftv1lle and Pla1nf1eld meet at Plainheld Tor the first time this season in the begin ming of the championship series, that last year created much interest and the chances are that the rivalry this fall will be of the keenest.
 Plainf1eld,a last seasons champions, and holder of The Bulletin cup have practically the same strong aggerga- ton and have already played two games with Crompton, R. I. All the men are in excellent condition and if the heat does not preventa fans will enjoy a rare treat in football. Taftville will go onto the field this fall with a team a good deal stronger than the one in the spring as they have additions from the disbanded, Ponemah Wheel club and Baltic teams, having selected the strongest for their weak points. -s.
 The Killingly team, new to Eastern Connecticut football. is the dark horse of the triple alliance but rumors from up the line indicate that they are 8 clever and fast bunch. Having won @ loving cup last spring their fol- lowers are confident that they will make good showing. The registered players to date follow.

ing periods are likely to be short. The preliminary practice of the four teams which open the season has been ham, pered by the necessity of working in a temperature of 80 or higher each day and little more than rudimentary principles have been mastered.
 Chief interest will center in the showing of the Carlisle eleven, which begins the 1915 campaign minus the services of Coach Glenn Warner, who is now instructing the University of Pittsburgh squad in the mysteries of football attack and defense. Warner was unusually successful in handling the redmen who donned moleskins, due to his thorough understanding of the peculiarities of the aborigines off and on the gridiron.
 Albright has never been a menacing opponent against Carlisle in the an- nual contests of past seasons, but the size of the. score run up by the In- Indians has always been accepted. as a reasonably accurate forecast of the strength of the victors for the season. Owing to the extreme heat since the beginning of practice and the intro duction of new coaching system and staff, the result of tomorrow's game can hardly be accepted with the same value accorded in past years.

 Sunday.

There is one more opportunity for the lovers of baseball in this vicinity to witness a ball game that will no doubt keep interest keyed up from start to finish.
 Sunday the Sachems will cross bats with the fast White Rock team of White Rock. R. I. This combination is one of the fastest and are the cham pion semi-professionals of Rhode Isl- and, and the management of the Sa- chems are looking forward to a game that will test the ability of the fast going local team to the utmost.
 The gait that the Sachems are now travelling at speaks for itself, and the last two games have been hair-raisers and should be recommendation enough to expect the support of the baseball loving public of this vicinity. /; The well known favorites, rHarrigan and Mcintyre. will be in the points for the Sachems, and every. follower of baseball around here knows what that means.
 All factional feelings, as well as the different kinds of friction, have been eliminated by the new management and everything is now harmonious in the camp of the Sachems, and the pub lie can be reasonably sure of good fast clean baseball for the balance of the season.

GRAND CIRCUIT MEETING
 CLOSES AT SYRACUSE.
Three Amateur and Three Professional
 Races Made Up Programme.

Syracuse. sN. T., Sept. 17.-Three ann ateur and three professional races made up the programme of the closing day of the grand circuit meeting at the state fair this afternoon.
 Although no records were broken, there were several surprises. chief among which was the victory of Lizzie Brown in the 2.09 trot- Finishing sixth in the first heat, Valentine took the bay trotter out in front in the netx three heats and was never headed. although Murphy with Mirthful was a contender all the way.
 In the 2.10 pace Queen Bess won in straight heats after finishing second in the first heat. Jean and Ashlook were the contenders. Ames Al Bingen, cleverly piloted by Lon Mcdonald, won the 2.16 trot without trougle in straigh; heats.
 The three amateur races were keen- ly contested and with the exception of the free-for-all trot brought out good fields.

 Leonard's pitching was the out standing feature of the game. Ably supported by his fielders, he held the hard hitting Tigers to one single, in the first eight innings. With the ten sion somewhat lessened in the ninth. he hit Witt and grooved a ball for Cobb. The latter sent 1t flying into the right field stands. an unusual hit at Fenway park, and the visitors only runs were scored.
 As in yesterdays game. the fine pitchin gon one side was not match ed on the other. James. Manager Jen- nings' first choice, proved a poor one, his six bases on balls giving Boston opportunities from which sig runs were developed in the first three in- nings. Roland took his place and pitched much tighter game.
 Although feeling between the teams ran high throughout the game. 1t was not so much in evidence as was the case yesterday. The score:
