EMPIRES TO PLAY
Will Stack Up Against Trojans of Hartford in Great Football Game Tomorrow Afternoon.

The Empire A. c. football team of this city will play their first home game of the season Sunday afternoon on the Newington Road grounds. Kickoff at p. m. prompt. They will have for their opponents the fast Trojan A. c. of Hartford.
 The Trojans last year won the Hart lord country championship in the 15O to 160 pound class and they are de- termined that they will do the same thing again this season. They also have aspirations to annex the state championship. They have a stronger .ineup than last year, with only a few veterans on the squad. COnrOy, who was one of the best fullbacks in the state last season, will again be seen in the same position with them ou Sunday afternoon, and local gridiron enthusiasts will remember that it was largely due to him that the Trojans defeated the Empires by score of to 0.
 Ed. Dooley, the Trojan captain will pilot the team again this season and he is we'll know throughout the state would do credit to any team.
 The local team is determined to stage a comeback this season and make up for the defeat that was hand ed to them last year. In order to do this the Empire manager has got to- gether a squad of local men that would cd credit to any team.
 The probable lineup that will start M. Johnson, right halfback and J. Sake, left end; D. Politus or George Beckett, left tackle; R. Carlson, left guard; G. Puppel, center; c. Krause right guard, R. Strohecker, righ1 tackle; w. Anderson, right end; A Nyborg or w. Mooney, quarterback Red Dunnigan (Capt.), left halfback R. Johnson, right halfback and J Stefnick, LeRoot or Dobb, fu1lback
 The team has put in a lot of prac- tice in the last four weeks and they feel that there is nothing in their class that will be able to defeat them.
 The Empires will hold a final prac. tice Sunday morning at g o'clock.
 Either the Hartford trolley as far as Chapman street, or the Chestnut stree Bus will take the fans right to the field Sunday afternoon.

POLO OUTLOOK IS NOT
 AS BRIGHT AS BEFORE
Formation of National League Will Block the Conn. Circuit, Says
 President Hanna.

The polo situation in Connecticut is up in the air, since the announcement that the National league expects to do business in Massachusetts this season. Such was the announcement of Will liam w. Hanna, who was chosen presi- dent of the Connecticut league several weeks ago. Ut must be an entirely Connecticut league, or else there will be no po1o," MT. Hanna said last night. The outlook for a successful season was bright, until the sudden de- cision of the National league directors to go ahead and organize again this year. There is, however, a possibility that the bright prospects for the game may catse a change of conditions, that will bring the game to Connecticut by early in November.

Hartley and Jackson Engage in An
 Uninteresting Bout.

New York, Oct. 1.-Willie Jackson, Bronx lightweight, and Pete Hartley, the Double Dane," battled through b disappointing rounds at Madison square Garden last night and, when the final bell changed, the decision was announced as a draw. The verdict was received with disapprovaI by the crowd as it seemed an injustice. Hart ley appeared the winner on points.
 The bout was below the average of Garden attractions, not through any fault of Hartley, but because of Jack sons comparatively poor showing. Hartley fought a methodical, consis- tent, steady battle, in which he did the major part of the leading and

 With a general shake-up in the line, the Nutmegs are expected to show great potential strength in the revamped lineup when the local war riors oppose their ancient rivals from Meriden-the Nohawks, at Vibberts field tomorrow afternoon The re- juvenation of the line was necessary as the line fell down in the opening games of the season. The players in the backfield demanded a stronger line and tomorrow the Nutmegs will try to show a strong line and a poxy- erfu1 backfield.
 It is reported that the Silver City team have been laying in wait for the Nutmeg team. There has never ! been any love for the Nutmegs and since the local eleven have acquired Rarnikow, a Meridenite the anxiety and desire to beat the Nutmegs has grown stronger. Furthermore the Mohawks have loomed up as one of the strongest elevens in the state. The Meriden team held the AI1-Hart- ford wrecking combination scoreless | for three periods and it was only breaks that the strong Hartford club was able to score. The Meriden line is very heavy and pitted against such
 a strong line as the A11-Hartford team possesses they showed their real strength. --l

 Dingy Coach.

Riga. July 1.-Senator Franco of Maryland, who plana to confer with Russian soviet officials relative to trade conditions. has left Riga for Moscow. He rode in dingy old sec- ond- class couch which would take him through to the Bolshevik capital and was accompanied by a fussy haired, bespectacled young man, who spoke . with more or less accuracy 12 lan- guages, and for whom the Bolshevik legation here asked for a double pass port, as ho was to enact the role of official courier and interpreter.
 The luxurious sleeping car usually provided for Bolshevik diplomats on the trip from Riga to Moscow, and in ' which distinguished guests of the soviet government have been taken to 0he capital, failed to materialize. The car in which Senator France left had a capacity for fl persons and provid- ed considerable baggage space. It had 15 persons aboard, and differed kom the other 14 cars on the train Hbnly in being less crowded than the rest.
 Senator France and his companion Had one small compartment entirely to themselves, but there was no bed ding except a mattress, but the sena-
 
 tor had provided his own sleeping bag.

 A Bolshevik journalist who inter Niewed Senator France quotes him as having declared that American and Russian cooperation would suffice to counteract Japanese designs in Siber- ia and as advocating close co-opera- tior between Russia, Germany and the United States in economic and political spheres.
 Senator France told the Associated Press that in the main the interview was correct, but that he did not mean . to advocate German, American and Russian political alliance. He expects to stay in Russia for about two weeks

Secret Police Service Gets
Credit for Good Work and
Evil Schemes.

STAFF Correspondent Of the Associated Press.
/ MOSCOW. october 21.-If you see
Cheka agent on the right side Of
the street. take the left side" is q
common saying In Russia. showing
the fear fnsttlled by the secret police
which is credited here with untold
crimes and violence. Its agents lock
up people. try and execute them. II
they see flt. according to popular in
formation. As there are no police
in Russia. it devolves on this organ
ization to keep the peace and. when
necessary. control the red army.
! While travelling through the entire
length OF Russia. the Associated Press
! correspondent was shadowed, from
city to city, by these agents, but
never bothered by them. AS in Tur-
| Key. their mission was possibly to
protect the correspondent and not
| involve, the soviet government in
fresh complications regarding it's
| treatment Of Americans.
Keeps Order in Country.
That the Cheka keeps order is evil
dent from the fact that there is at
present order everywhere In Russia,
save for bands of robbers among the
Don and Kuban Cossacks, calling
themselves the green army and now
and then holding up trains in the re-
seas. along tho line from Rostov to
Petrovsk.
While passing through this region
the correspondent learned Of one
good deed of the Cheka, the details
Of which indicate how frishtfully
their revolutions.
Commissaire Lander of the Kiev
hCheka was spending the summer for
his health at the beautiful watering
place of Kisiovodsk. once one Of the
most fashionable Of the north eau
to his house young man and woman
who told of the sudden disappearance
of a certain countess, pretty girl
of twenty. belonging to one Of the
most famous Of the old Russian no.

Lander started an Investigation and
by morning had found the girl. but
in dreadful condition. 1t developed
that while she. was sitting in one OF
the parks of the town the evening
previous two men had placed her
under arrest in the name OF the
prisoner in a lonely house.
Has Men Executed.
Lander put at once all the ma
chinery of the Cheka at work, had all
the trains watched and by night had
arrested two bandits who were fden-
titled as the criminals. While the
men were being returned to Kis-
lovodsk they leaped from the train
and escaped. Lander after twelve
days of search again arrested them
at Rostov, where they were at once
Lander is now spending his own
money In an effort to ala the girl. as
she and her family are without re-
sources. -.-~.-. -
Against this good deed thousands Of
evil ones are told. According to one
of these stories the Cheka searched
the home of a university professor
and physician. DR.. Floriansky, a year
ago in Kiev and found in his desk a
forgotten list, dated 1908. Of forty
three members of a patriotic organ

named in the list still in kiev and
