De ORC KEEPS HIS
CUE CHAMPIONSHIP
BY BEATING DAILY

New York, Oct. 26-Aifredo De Orc
defeated John DAILY. challenger for
the worlds three-cusi billiard
championship. at Leonard Howison's
academy, last night. when he won
the final block of the match by a
score of 30 to 4s, which, added to the
totals of this previous nights play
gave him total Of 150 to 1873 for the
entire match.
The first night the Cuban won at SO
to 43 and the second night the score
was in his favor by SO to 40. The
contest last night was the closest,
therefore, that the two Contestants
have waged, and one of the specta-
tors was unwilling to coneede that De
Orc was the better player. AS soon as
the match was finished he offered to
wager $1,000 that DAILY could defeat
De Orc. The Cuban turned quickly
and asked If that was said seriously,
On receiving an affirmative reply De
Orc offered to cover the money and
play the contest Immediately,
Daily was agreeable to the PROPOSE
ton, and for a few minutes it seemed
that a second contest would be played
between the two men. Leonard How
ison, the proprietor of the academy,
however, refused to allow the use of
the championship table. A special
match at a. future time was then pro-
posed, and this may be arranged,
De Ore last night played with the
ceHsummate skill which he has sheWn
all through the match. His shots
were many times sparkling reveia-
tons of the possibilities of three-cush-
ion play, which drew repeated ap-
plause from the big gathering Of spec

CROSBY HIGH HAS
CALLED OFF GAME
WITH B.H.S.1EAM

Crosby High school of Waterbury,
has called off the game with the
Bridgeport High school. to have been
played at Newfeld park tomorrow, on
account of a date with another team
from last year. They tried to make
ARRANGEMENTS to play the B. H. S:
boys next Friday, but this is impossi--
BILE, as the boys play Meriden the fol-
lowing Saturday, and would not have
time enough to prepare for that
game. The game with Meriden is
eagerly waited for by the students, as
Meriden and Naugatuck played a no
score game with each other, and the
B. H. s. did the same last year. The
game between Naugatuck and Meri-
den will probably give each of the
teams ene-half point toward the
championship of the league, but this
will be decided by the directors.
The High school soccer team viii
tomorrow play the Remington Juniors
for the championship OF the Junior
League. The game, which is to be
played at Seaside park, is expected to
be attended by a larger number of
students than attended the football
game at Newfeld park last Satur-
day.
The schedule of the B. II. s. Girls
Basketball team will be re-arraHsed
somewhat in order to accommodate
other teams in being properly sohed-
uled for the season. Some slight
changes will possibly be made in the
boys schedule also, to be announced
in this column as soon as the
changes are complete.

CONNERY WITH TANKS.

Connery, the old Hartford manager,
will now become member Of the New

ing the engagement of Miller Higgins
to manage that club. Connery Is a
friend of Higgins ana when the new
pilot was signed he insisted on bring

After he left Hartford at the close
OF the 1912 season. Connery went with
the St. Louis Cardinals as a scout. At
that time he was working for a club
that refused to spend large sums for
players. So Connery had TO make
the rounds Of smaller circuits where
players were cheap. He discovered
such stars as Infslders Hornsby and
Beck and Pitchers Watson and Mead
ows Of the Cardinals and none cost
very much. Connery is a. good judge
Of playing talent and a fine chap

able to find some more valuable play

Then if the winds disturbing are
comes out that weeping train,
Till tear-spent mortals 'mong the
fronds seem rent with direst pain.
O trim old poplars spare and grim,
tall sentinels on guard,
We wave to mellow moons; again,
We shroud the sleeping sward! Il
You're soldiers of the night and day,
you're fiuttering leaves astir
Seem like the silver stars you've won,
as viewing thro' nights blur;
But mystic, too, you seem to us who
peer with muted eyes,
And lips that move to prayerful
moods, thou sentinels of the skies,
Our ears would fain deceive. us all, for
oft in fancy bring
The winds, sounds as if intoning bells
above we're caroling;
A murmurfng dirge that follows on
thro' all the hours of night
Till, shrouded ghouls We seem to rise
against the Dawn's twilight.
