Wright LEADS IN
BOWLING LEAGUES
Johnny, High Man in City and
Red Men Organizations

Johnny Wright the clever little
league and also member Of the
Red Mems league, enjoyed the dis
tinction of leading both Of these or
CARNATIONS at present with high aver
age. In the City league he has an
average of 1913 while with the Indians
he boasts of a SO average. Two 9TH
er members Of the City league are
right on his heels however, Rogers
and Larson having marks of 102.
pretty race is on for leadership of the
City league, the Live Oaks who have
maintain the lead with the Tigers but
a few games behind. Tomorrow eve
ming will see a clash between these
two teams, and from an interest
standpoint the game should prove
very thrilling. Followers of both
teams are confident that their pets
will be returned victorious clean
up for the Tigers will mean first
place while the same result for the
Live Oaks will virtually mean the
Of the championship, as the
The Annex are in third place with
a small lead over the Wanderers
while the Rangers and the South
Ends are battling away for fifth
place. There is no question as to
who shall be awarded the BOBBY hon
ors, as the Pastimes by their two
games won and twenty five lost rec
ord have practically cinched the sub
ing and averages of the league are
as follows:

NUTMEGS ARE BEATEN
Winchester Arms Eleven Downs Lo-
calls On Their Own Stamping
Ground-Stupid Play By Scott.

A pretty drop kick from the 25-
yard line by Captain Coogan and
touchdown by Reilly, aided the Win
chester Arms eleven of New Haven
to defeat the Nutme gs Of this city be-
fore a large gathering Of fans yester-
day afternoon at Fraternal field, the
final score being 10 to 0. The locals
were beaten but not disgraced, the ell
eInent Of luck assisting the victors.
Considerable kicking took place dur
ing the contest, both from a verbal
standpoint and booting the ball. The
locals suffered time and again from
penalization which greatly marred
their chances of scoring. Hard
luck overcame the home boys in
the first period when Nelson carried,
the ball to the vineyard line but the
time expired and the ball was carried
back by the referee. AS stupid a play
as has ever been pulled on a local
gridiron was the direct cause of the
touchdown of the visitors when in
trying to execute a lateral pass, Scott
threw the ball directly into the arms
Of Reilly who raced thirty yards
across the goal line.
The home boys won the toss and
elected to defend the north goal. Re-
ceiving the ball on the KICKOFF the To-
calls essayed to pound their way
through the visitors line which held
like a stonewall and on an attempt to
punt Larson let q bad pass get away
from him and a visiting player raced
to near the goal line before he was
thrown. One attempt at the line
availed nothing, and then a penalty of
fifteen yards was inflicted on the Wis
itors. Captain Coogan dropped back
to the locals 25-yardline and sent as
pretty a goal from the field as has
ever been seen on local gridiron.
During the remainder of the half the
play see-sawed back and forth and ex-
change Of punts were frequent be-
tween Larson and Milliken with the
visiting player outclassing the chief.
Scott executed a pretty forward pass
to Larson but Milliken downed him
before he got away very far.
The discouraging play by Scott
seemed to take considerable "pep"
out of the home team after the ten
point lead had been secured and when
the visitors secured the ball they i'm
mediately punted out of danger.
: Nelson was used very, effectively
against the visitors line making long
gains, but was forced to retire on ac
| count of injuries and with his going
| went the locals chances of scoring.
The work Of Koplowitz was a bright
feature for the losers, this clever lit
tie player breaking up many of the
Elm City teams plays before they
PLAYED hard game.

CONDOR vs.. FULTON
LenOX A. c. Brings Together Boys
Who Furnished One Of the Best
Battles Ever Held in Conn.

A boxing exhibition that should at
tract lovers of the sport from all
parts of the state is scheduled for this
evening before the Lenox A C. Of
Meriden, when Harry Condor and
Young Fulton Of Brooklyn will face
each other in a fifteen round bout.
The boys met once before in the Sill
YER City and the attendants at the
bout on that occasion still remember
the rip snorting battle put up by the
lads, and a repetition Of that scrap
is the forecast for this evening. Both
boys know nothing but slug, and all
science is thrown to the winds when
the bell sends them away. There has
pCen considerable discussion between
the followers Of Condor and Fulton
relative to the superiority Of their
pet, and as they have never met since
that memorable battle in Meriden,
the clash tonight will probably settle
this little controversy
The Capitol City will have an en-
u AA1 CI1Ao evening CAIIlDtlOl NIlGl
"Chick' Mccormack q new conner in
this vicinity will tackle Frank Brin-
dist of New Haven. The Elm City boy
at present is hitting the high places
in pugilism, defeating every oppon-
ent that he has encountered in the
last few months. Reports from Macs
camp, however, indicate that frankie
will be a busy gent tonight. This is
an eight round affair
Jimmy Welton who IS vieing with
Young Mack for popularity honors in
the Meriden world of fistania will
stack up against Jack Flynn of Mid
CLEANED from the managers of both
boys some BATTLE will be the result.
We1ton has licked everything deci-
sively since his initial appearance in
the roped arena, but in Flynn he will
have a worthy foe, according to the
latter's manager. Alderman Fftzger-
aid Of New Haven will handle the
bouts with Dennie Mcmahon holding
the Ingersoll and Roaring Red"
Rorty announcing. New Britain will
send a large delegation to witness the
bouts. and the management has ar
ranged to have the exhibition over
in time to connect with the II o'clock
train.

WAS PRETTY SOFT
Enfield No Match For Captain Con-
noIIy's Boys-LocaIs Pile Up 60
PointS-Barton Stars.

PointS-Barton Stars.
In a game far too one-sided to prove
interesting to the fair-sized gathering
of rooters present, the New Britain
High school pigskin warriors defeated
the eleven representing the Enfield
High school Saturday afternoon at st.
Mary's Fairgrounds, score sc to 0.
The boys from up the state were never
in the running and a few minutes ga
ter the commencement Of play thu
crowd realized that it would be only
q question of how high the score
would reach, rather than to who
starting off with their regular line
up, points began to pile up so fast
that it seemed as if an adding ma
chine would be necessary for the or
fetal scorer, and rather than take any
chances with the first string players,
q number OF subs were sent in during
the second half and they gave a very
good account Of themselves.
The bright stars of the winners were
Barton who has evidently displaced
rosenberg TOR the quarterback posi-
ton, and who more than lived up to
the hopes of his friends by his braf%y
method of running the team. His elu-
sive running back of punts was also
one OF the bright features. Twice this,
speed merchant carried the ball over
the line for touchdowns Coach Brown
AND FuyaICt.I -,4rSCLOr 4IUuEI1Gau are
jubilant over the work of the little
fellow. Others whose work scintillat-
ed were Captain Connolly, McChrisSy,
showed that at the art of kicking
goals he is in a class by himself, send
ing the ball between the bars on six
different occasions. The work of
Schaefer and Sechrist of the second
team was also worthy of mention.
Captain Burke of the visitors played
a hard game but the work of his
mates was so weak that this lad had
his hands fun throughout the gaps
| breaking up play after play.
Work on getting the team into
shape for the final contest with New
Haven commenced this afternoon and
the boys will settle down to the hard
est kind of practice The victory Of
the Elm City boys over Hartford Sat
urday by the score of 20 to 0 proves
them to be a strong team and one
that is TO be feared at all times rs

won their games. but the middies'
victory over the North Carolina "Ag
gies'' was more impressive than the
soldiers defeat of Maine The cadets
appeared to have had an off day and
played a careless and listless game
against the Maine collegians. Maine
did not have power to cope with the
Army, but wretched handling of the
ball and loss of ground as the result
of penalties kept the cadets score
down. The Navy, on the other hand,
while not faced by a particularly
strong opponent, played with a vim
and dash that has been lacking in
recent games.
In the other more important
games of Saturday Washington and
Jefferson was unable to make any
impression upon the remarkable foot
ball machine which represents the
of Pittsburgh while Col
gate and Penn State won decisively
from Rochester and Lehigh, respec-
lively. Rutgers, however, found West
Virginia a most formidable opponent
and the two teams battled to a score
less tie. Springfield college scored
fine victory over Tufts.

TO PROBE CHARGES.
New Haven Police Chief to Act on
Alleged Trust Claims.

New Haven, Nov. 13.-The sensa-
sional charge by Vincent Reina a
local promoter, to the effect that a
trust is in control of the boxing
game in this city, will lead to a
thorough probe by the police authori-
ties, it was learned last night. The
publication Of Reina'S statement in
winch he bitterly arraigns certain in
d1Vlduals who have been prominent in
the boxing life of the city has caused
a flare in sporting circles and the
opinion has been expressed that the
truth be made known. Developments
of an interesting nature are expect
ed within a few days.
Chief of Police Philip t. Smith, un-
der whose supervision the game is
conducted in this city stated last
night that his attention had not been
called to the Reina charges. The
chief, when told the substance of the
charges declared that they warranted
an investigation and further stated

HARTF ALONE INJURED.
Rest of Harvard Players in Fine
Condition.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 13.-EXcept
for a head injury received by Harte,
Harvard came out of it's game with
Princeton in excellent trim. The regu-
lars will be thoroughly rested, how
ever, before they will start playing
again, although most of them at once
will begin on signal drill for the Yale
game.
This week against Brown it Is likely
that Harvard again will send out
substitute team and allow the regu-
lars to accompany the coaches to
Princeton to see Yale play the Tigers.

On the face of it, the news that the Pacific Coast Steamship and the Alaska Navigation Com panies are to combine and operate under one management, is good news to all those who have anything to do with the transportation compan- ies. With several companies in the field, rival " is bound to exist, and sometimes just to take away business from one another, they will either delay or advance their saiings to suit conditions In doing so criticism follows and dissatisfaction arises Whereas, under one management, a schedule of sailings can be made that will be fol- lowed and the people can depend that on cer- tain date certain boat shall sail. This has been one of the great troubles with all the Amer ican transportation companies. The people can- not depend on any sailing.
 There are some who contend that such com binaton is bad, and give for their reason that 1t eliminates competition and increase to rates This is wrong. With the Interstate Commerce Com mission watching over that part of it, we need not have competition to have satisfactory ser vice. Any time that the company over-steps the boundary of reasonable rates, the people have an effective remedy.
 The difference in the cost of operation should also be considered. Where there are now two agents; two offices to maintain, one will do all saving that will be applied all along the line of management. If the saving thus made is re- tained by the company, it will be expended in the improvement of their boats, and service in gen. eral. If the saving is applied in reducing the rates, the people will be benefited to that extent Either way, we are bound to derive some benefits
