The Swedes of this city will travel to New Haven to-oDpose the Winches- ters of that city in the first round of the state cup competition, both teams are out for victory as the winner will play the Bridgeport City team the following week in the semi-fnal round. The Winchester team will be strongly represented in this game as the services of such players like Smith anud Houstan, who assisted the Bridgeport City team in the Ma
 tional cup competition games have been secured along with Taylor of Ansonia, who is regarded as the finest wing forward in the state. On the other hand, the Swedes of this city will only rely upon their regular players to win the game. It will certainly be a hard game and who
 ever wins will be regarded as the fla vorabIe candidates for final honors.

George Gibson, who is to manage Toronto, will go South with the New York Giants to coach pitchers for Nc Graw. At the same time several players to be turned over to Rochester will also go South with 1IcGraw. Thus we have the odd case of the manager of one team in the Interna- tional League coaching some of the players of another team of the league in the spring training period.

II ARRY WILLIAMS of Bridgeport, A en route to Harrisburg, where tonight he meets Leo Houck of Lan- caster, Pa. in a lO-rounder, touched this city yesterday afternoon. The writer who rode with Larry as far as West Phila delphia, was told by the Bridgeporter that his intentions tonight are to knock out the veteran. Larry said he was in perfect physical condition and fit to battle 20 rounds.
 As the train chugged through swamp, Jersey, Williams directed the attention of the writer to an article that appeared in one of the New RYcrlz daihee. Sam Langford was touoted. as saying of Willie Meehan of with the Boston Tar Baby in the Coast City tonight:
 'Say, this man Meehan is so good that if the, strucksme with his hardest punch while I was asleep he could inot. even. as much as awake me-
 Sam Langford said a Inouthful,' % rezid williams. "I wish I get a icrack at that guy when he comes iEast. I think T. can knock him out. U met him when he was supposed to sbe in his prime and this flash at comeback is joke. for I~believe that s11eehan is the biggest bonehead in the business.
 And an elderly gentleman sitting inc. forward seat, apparently having scverhead the remark, turned around and said:
 '"That. g just what Ishave%been con tendingsright along"

The greatest game of the day will be played at Hartford where the Hartford Swedes and the Manchester team will face each other, in a regu- lar battle royal game. There has been great rivalry all season between the Manchester team and the Hart ford team in that league, and the teams have not got along together with the harmony that is required and this has made the Hartford teams (three in nrmber) refuse to join the competition individually, but have amalgamated together to form one good strong team in order to poat the Manchester team.
 On paper, the Hartford team in this competition is stronger than the Manchester team, but the latter are regarded as great cup fighters and will only be beaten after a hard struggle, if beaten at all. D. E. Davidson, who was appointed as the referee for this game has refused the game, owing to pressure of business and it is left for the writer to find q substitute which in these times will be hard task owing to the import ance of the game
