The meeting this evening in the rooms of the Board of Recreation in the First Bridgeport National Bank building, promises to be one of the most important of the season and a, lengthy program of business is to be considered. Arrangements are to be made for the first International game of the season to be played in this city on May II. The fiasco at the Meadows last week, when the Swed- ish team walked off the field, four minutes from time. VIII also be dis cussed. What the penalty will be is hard to say, but in several quarters it is reported that it will be heavy. The soccer moguls of the state will be on hand and will certainly have some fighting blood in their veins. All interested parties are requested to be on hand.

' TNoFFTCIALLT 1t was learned to- V day that Eddie (KnockouD Sweeney of New York, who has been lover there for considerable time fighting alongside with other brave American boys, will soon be back. But never again will the Knockout star don the padded mitts. He re- tired three years ago and so far as l have been able to ascertain he will not attempt-to re-enter the ring.
 Mention of Sweeney brings to mind some of the best battles have had the good fortune of witnessing in this part of the country. Here is one boy who was a born fighter. Born in the east side of New York, young Eddie began swinging his mitts when but mere child. He took offence to certain statement made by a school chum and proceeded to subject him to a severe punishment for which he was suspended from school for several months.
 That was Eddies first battle. So pleased was he that he defeated his rival that he proceeded to clean up his enLire neighUorhood, meeting with unusual success. And so it was no wonder that when he was a, mere lad of out 5 years old he managed to sneak his way into the ring as a, ban tamweight.

NE FOUGHT like a champion, but Aa the titlehoIder passed him up and Sweeney was forced 10 invade the featherweight division. meeting with equal success :n that division. So dangerous was he that even the featherweight champ refused to con sider him as opponent and he enter ed the lightweight division. Soon he developed into a good welterweight and it was as welterweight that Eddie fought his best fights.
 Never will I forget those splendid slugfests he together with such men as Tommy Maloney of New York, Joe Chick of Gloucester, Mass, and Tommy Mclaughlin What excite ment they did furnish. In those days welterweights fought. And what a great inhghter this Sweeney was! Always a clean fighter, he made friends wherever he went and it was nothing unusual to see him in the ring three and four times a week.
 Eddie made a lot of money in the ring. but most of it went to his folks. In his earlier days he squandered practically all his earnings, but as he grew older and wiser and realized that his dollar was his real pal he changed and put as much of his money away as possible.

He ground ed out while the runners advanced, and McInnis ended the inning with a roller to Pratt.

 Drinkwater will make a welcome reappearance in the local lineup and will be playing his first game since his arrival from overseas where he had been playing soccer with his reg mental team. All wno anow Drink water, will agree that he is a great player and will make a welcome ac- quisition to the ranks of the locals. He has played in numerous final ties and knows the game from A to z.
 Another welcome acquisition to the local team will be McKinstrie, the Holyoke policeman who played with the Farr Alpaca team of Holyoke for several seasons, and who is regarded as a tough player. This "red-headed' player is regarded as the finest center half back in the western section of Massachusetts and his appearance here tomorrow should prove a great attraction.
 The management of the local team has rearranged it's team owing to the inclusion of these two players and it will prove the strongest outfit that | has represented a team in this city 1 th-5 season.

American turfmen have admired many horses, but it has been a long, long time since a three-year- old enjoyed better and more popular ity than does Omar Khayyam. Here is one stopper who carries hims elf like a master. He is not a difficult horse to handle. The comeback of Old Rosebud was also big surprise, for there were few down at the track who thought enough of this equine to dare back him. This aged son of Uncle and Ivory Bell padded through the mud and was well in front of the classy field against which he compet- ed practically all the way. He ran steadily, confidently and consistently

The Giants showed that they were glad to get back to Harlem by jolt ing Pitcher Mule Watson for 16 hits. This mule had no more kick than fiagon of Bevo. Against the weak oposition McGraw's men went on a batting spree, and Lew McCarty helped himself to a home run. Ross Young plastered the Mule for three hits, one a two-bagger, Larry Doyle got a two-bagger, a single, a base on balls and made it a perfect day by being hit by a pitched ball.

The Giants house warming festivities with the Phillies in New York yesterday, which marked the opening of the home season for the National Leaguers, was an enjoyable, pleasant affair for everybody but the visitors from Philadelphia. Before the game the Giants and the Phils paraded around the field, and the Giants spent the rest of the after noon parading around the Phils. The flags, waved in the breezes, the band played, and the Giants won, 14 to 2.

Presto, prestissimo!
Hark! are there nine birds or ninety and

And now a miraculous gurgling gushes
Like nectar from Hebe's Olympian bottle
The laughter of tune from a rapturous

Such melody must be hermit thrush's!
But that other caroler, nearer
Outrivaling rivalry with clearer
Sweetness incredibly fine!
Is 1t oriole, redbird or bluebird,
or some strange un-Audubonned new
bird?
All one, sir, both this bird and that bird ;
The whole flight are all the same catbird!
The whole visible and invisible choir you

Fitting feathery Blondel!
Listen to his rondel!
To his lay romantical.
To his sacred canticle.
Hear him lifting,
See him fitting
His saucy head and tall are f1uttering
While uttering
All the difficult operas under the sun,
Just for fun!
Or in tipsy revelry,
Or at love deviltry,
Or, disdaining his divine gift and art,
Like an imitable poet
Who captivates the worlds heart,
And doesn't know 1t.
Hear him Tilt!
See him tilt!
Then he suddenly stops,
Peers about, fiirts. hops.
AS IL looking where he might gather up
The wasted ecstasy just split
From the quivering cup
OF his bliss overrun.
Then, as in mockery of all
The tuneful spells that e'er did fall
From vocal pipe, or evermore shall rise.
He snarls, and news, and flies
