SIXTY-FIRST WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY

Life. with all ITS stern realities, oc-
casionally breaks out in a halo of light
and joy so respondent. the clouds vanish
far in the distance and We dwell in the
realms OF ecstacy for time. The
sixty-Iirst wedding anniversary Of Me
and Mrs. William q. Anderson was the
counterpart, Of this when their children.
grandchildren. other relatives. friends
OF today and friends of long ago. met TO
shower congratulations upon them.
To very few happy young couples,
who launch their barks on the matri-
monial sea in high hopes of pleasant
and safe journey to a distant haven Of
restfu Old age. does a golden wedding
Gay dawn. Eleven years ago this hap
py anniversary was celebrated in the
Anderson home. and Tuesday evening
when We found them both enjoying
life, surrounded by their unbroken
family circle, then indeed could we say.
their marriage had been blessed and
could be fittingly symbolized as hap
Ply voyage.
Mrs. Anderson maiden name was
Lucy Herndon. being the daughter of
A. q. and Nancy Herndon. She was
fourteen years old when her father
bought and moved TO the home where
she was married to William Anderson
in 1854. July 9TH, by Dr. Hatch. She
has spent all of her married life in the
same home. In the same room. at the
same place. at the same time. eight
O'Clock in the evening" where they were
married sixty one years ago they stood
and received congratulations on the oc-
casion of their golden wedding and sixty
first anniversary. Their attendants Of
1854 are all dead with the exception of
one, who is Mrs. Betty McConalthy
Gibson. The others were Messrs Jno.
Gill Sr.. Mr. Will Wherritt. Garrett
Elkln, 'Sr.. and DIR. Logan, Misses
Angie Robinson, Bette HerHdon and
Emma Hatch. Mr.. Anderson was 81
years young his last birthday and Mrs.
Anderson five years younger than he is.
As they stood in the receiving line
Tuesday evening with their children
and grandchildren. We could not but
know they had encountered disappoint-
ment and sorrow in this long journey.
But the bright hopes blasted the agonies
they had endured, We're not reflected in
the faces of either, but they seemed
rather to welcome the years as the EN-
blems Of peace and of rest. Could
there have been more pleasing picture
than this couple surrounded by their
loved ones in the beautiful old home
they had always loved? Who can deny
that such picture is soothing TO the
human mind. and eompensstes US for
the loss of many pleasures peculiar to
youth.
May many more years Of happiness
be added 10 those already passed.
Those present from distance were
Mr.. and Mrs. John Anderson Of Lex.
ington, Mrs. Lula Bowman of Mason.
Co.. Mrs. Mamie Young Of Maysville
and Mrs. Maria Jasper. Of Danville.
The house was beautifully decorated
just as it was long ago and delightful
refreshments were served. The cakes
were iced with the figures '6l" upon
them.

to the democrats considering both sides

General Haley and the other McChesney
managers, judging from there past, are
more interesting IN holding on, than in

HELLER GIVES UP.
No League Baseball in Pittsfcld This
 Season,

Pittsfield, April 9.-Pittsheld's bal players have been scattered to the four winds. Pitchers Troy, Rettig, Sherman and Alexander have been sent to the Troy club. Outfielders Moseley and Phillips, Pitcher Fay Tor and Shortstop Prysock to the Utica club, and Pitcher Barrenkamp to the Syracuse club. Somerlot, Hyatt, LOT rain and others have been released outright. Owner Jack Zeller has given up all attempts to run a ball club in Pittsfield this year, but he has a notion that Pittsfield will be in the Eastern association next year; that is, he thinks the Eastern asso- citation will be dug out of the grave and given another chance on earth.
 Zeller has retained his interests in Wanconah park, the ball grounds in Pittsfield. James Nichols will look after his affairs in Pittsfield and it may he that Nichols will decide to run an independent ball club there this season. Zeller says franchises in the Eastern association next year will be awarded to men who will not quit cold "just because they have had one bad season.

 NEW YORK BOXING
Everyone Tries to Climb Into Ring When Mckay Gets Ketchen
 Against Ropes and Fouls.

New York, April 9.-Four knock the interesting features seen at the boxing tournament last night at the Olympic A. C..
 The disturbance, in which half a dozen men were fighting in the ring at one time, came in the second round of the final bout, which was adver- tised as the feature. between Fight Ing BiII ketcheII and fred Mckay.
 Everything went along serenely in the first round. ketcneIl was glV- lnS away welght Tn the nelsnuor- hood Of twenty pounds anu 1nc>ay Was almost looL taller than ms op- ponent, but these disadvantages uld not appear to discourage the sInalief man III the least ana ne hammered away at Mchay's stomach unul ne soon had 1t marked with large red blotches.
 The latter, contrary to all his for mer prowess III the ring, weathered the nrst round successfully. The trouble came in the second session of the bout. ketchen, by jumping on his toes, managed to land two or three blows at Mckay's head. Me Kay then let loose and banked ketch- ell all over the ring.
 The latter was backed up against the ropes, and Mckay fouled him time after time. The referee was powerless to separate them, and they disregarded the gong. Mckay kept pounding his opponent below the belt, while ketchell shouted to the official that he was hurt.
 The spectators yelled, and every one tried to get into the ring to sep arate the boxers, and several inn promptu mixups were soon in prog ress. In the meanwhile, when quiet was partially restored, Mckay slipped out of the ring and returned to his dressing room. He accused Ketchell of fouIing him first

TO-DAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS.

1SS3-Charlie Mitchell defeated Mike Cleary in four rounds at New York. This was the first American battle of the clever English middle weight. Mitchell had cleaned up the best middles and heavies in his native land and came to America early in 18S3. His bout with Cleary was held in the merican Institute building and was under Queensberry rules. The Englishman was vastly the superior of Cleary and in the third round Charlie landed a body blow that ali but put Mike to Sleep. In the fourth round Cleary was in such a bad way that the cops stopped the rookus. The following month Mitchell fought his first bout with John l.. Sullivan, and although defeated the English middle weight had the glory of knocking Sullivan down. Mitchell remained in America five years, and fought his way from coast to coast and back again. In 1887 Mitchell returned to England and the next year fought his famous thirty-nine draw with John l.. in France.
 18S0-Thosper (Tom) Thomas, Welsh light heavyweight, born Tn Glamorganshire.

SPEEDY BASEBALL IS' LOOKED FOR AT H..S
Six Vettfsns and Crowd of Nt6
 Men Report for First Practice.
----.-a--..--.....-.

Everything points towards sue cessfuI baseball season for the New Britain High school Practice hw begun, as about twenty candidates re sponded to Captain Walther's call to report yesterday afternoon. The squad is made up of half a dozen veterans and the rest youthful bah players with more or less experience gained playing on amateur mines about the city. From the materia& on hand n strong team might Be welded and that process has already begun.
 Six Veterans Back.
 The men of last years nine who will again appear in uniform are Cap tain Walther, Johnson, Dudack Schade, Cabellus and Kiniry. With out much doubt they will fill the po- sitions they held last year. Cap. tain WaIther will direct the tean from left field and Johnson will he his running mate in centerfleld. "Bilr Dudack Is expected to be the main stay in the box with Kfniry, Schade and Cabellus composing the support- ing infield,f holding down second. third and first bases respectively.
 This part tentative lineup leayes only three places to be filled. NameN short stop, catch and right field. The abundance and worth of the new cam didates will make these positions easy to fill. Since the schedule in long; one or two other pitchers will be needed to support Dudack. Cap tain Walther is searching the mater ial for two hurlers equally reliable and of at least ordinary experiences.
 Good Backstop Wanted.
 Backstopping is the thrilled posi- | tion which will cause the most worry. Hultgren, last years regular catcher. has graduated, and Koplowitz, his understudy, has left school. The candidates for this place are Mulvi- hill and Conley. At present Con- ley cannot report as he has class work to make up. Perhaps others will try for. this position later. Dudack's only assistant is ondrick who has played on some hines about the city. Horton is showing up we'll at short stop. The others who reported were Martin, Kopf, McEnroe, O'Meara, Coffey and Barrett. The first game will be played Saturday afternoon against Bristol at Walnut Hill park.
 Basketball Monograms Awarded,t
 The Athletic Council met last even ing and took up numerous basketball and baseball matters. Monograus were awarded to the following bas- ketbaQ players Tuthill, Schade, Ginsburg. Dudacll, Walther. Root. Martin, Schmidt and Manager Gaff- ney. The basketball report showed net deficit of about s2O. A cop. mittee of three. NJ. F. Davis. Man ager Baldwin and w. E. Fay were appointed to look into the matter of baseball supplies.

DOHERTY FOR UMPIRE.
O'Rourke Wants Mike on Staff This
 Year.

New Haven, April 9-Mike Doherty, one of the most competent umpires that ever held the indicator, is in receipt of a communication from President ORourke of the Eastern association asking him to state his lowest terms for services during the coming season. Doherty nas submit ted a letter to O'Rourke and is await ing q reply.
 Doherty was q. visitor at Hotel Garde yesterday afternoon, but left before the meeting was over, and, as a. result, had no chance to talk with O'Rourke. O'Rourke has great con fidence in Doherty's ability as an umpire but has been loathe to en- gage him owing to his nonsensical policy of hiring men who are pre- sumably strangers to the managers and players alike. If the league should start, which is hardly prob able, Doherty will be one of the um- pires.

GUY NICKALIES PLEASED.
Satisfied With Work or YaIe Crew
 Against l. of p

Guy Nickalls, head coach of the \ ale crews, has written a lengthy article dealing with the work of the Eli oarsmen up to and including the races with Pennsylvania. The arti- cle appears in the current issue of the Yale Alumni Weekly and it is mighty interesting. Commenting on Yale's victories over Pennsylvania, NickalIs states that the work of the Blue was better than had been expected.
 He says: T suggested last week that the Yale men would give a good account of themselves, and three days of good water conditions did, per- haps, a trifie more for them than I had anticipated. From whatever point it is viewed, that complete vic tory was notable one. Penn. con sidered that they had n faster and more finished crew than rowed sec ond at Poughkeepsie. nine months ago, and I believe they are correct in their surmise. Anyway, the double victory augurs we'll for the Yale rowing season.

cial interest in the present situation. Friends of Canavan believe he has a definite proposition to unfold to the league when the proper times comes.
 Hugh McKinnon, the Federal league minor organization promoter, ran up from New York to keep in touch with the situation. He denied he made any definite proposition to any one during the afternoon. Harry Moves and Kid Sherwood, two of the leagues veterans players, looked the situation over with philosophic mien. In case an effort is made to keep the league active during 1915 another meeting of the organization will prob ably be held here next week.
