NEW YORK TEAMS MAY TRAIN
 IN CALIFORNIA IN sPRTS,

New York. Oct. 2O-Although leather cleats will not replace steel spikes on the turf of the Polo Grounds until tomo-- row and the Metropolis is just preparing for winter, talk of one or both of the local major league baseball teams going to California to train next sprin. has begun.
 While official word was unavailable jt was said unofficially the world champion Giants were tired of San Antonio, Tex as, where they have limbered up for a number of years. and were anxious to go to California. While the cost would be probably twice that of the San Antonio trip, it was believed that the differences could be absorbed by exhibition games
 To make the exhibitions a guaranteed success, however, it is almost necessary that two major league clubs travel to- gether. The only other club training on the Pacific coast is the Chicago Cubs. National league club. and the Giants need an American league companion. Put this may be arranged, possibly with the Boston Red Sox.
 The Yankees are understood to have arranged tentatively to go to New Or leans but there are substantial appear ing stories that only few inducements would be needed to take them to Califor- nia They could rattle east with the Cubs and in addition would have for an attrac- tion who is less familiar to the fans oi the west and far west than to those in the south.

,TAFTviLLE SOCCER TEAM OPENS
 SEASON TODAY AT TAFTvlLLE

The Taftville Soccer team gets away to it's start of the fall season today at Taftyille when they play the fast team of the American Thread Go. of Vest erly. This is considered the strongest team in the eastern part of the state and has held the Bulletin Cup for the past two years and has neveE suffered a defeat at the hands of Taftyille.
 As Taftville has entered the U. S. Amateur Cup Competition the village will be represented by the strongest team that has been on the field in a number of years. In order to bring their team up to high standards sev- eral new players have been added to the lineup. These additions include Jesse Alexander. formerly a star for ward man for Plainfeld, Heber, a full back from sPlainfield, Doran of South Manchester, and two other dark horses, one recently arrived from England where he has played for a number of years. The probable lineup for today's game will be Finlayson, goal; McCluggage and Heber, full backs; Wragg, Doran and Parsons. halfbacks; Brown. Strong, Walton. J Greenhalgh and Alexander, forwards; i; F. Greenhalgh, Knowles and Mathers, reserves.

! A week ago the game aclipsed any of the worlds series games for real base , ball, and every fan that saw that game will be on hand Sunday to see this conflict. If the weather does not moderate before Sunday, overcoats and mittens will not be amiss in the bleachers.
 | The Kacey team will line up the same as last Sunday. while Williman- lies lineup will be slightly changed, Sullivan doing the catching for Naylor and Noel playing in the outfield. The rest of the team will be the same with Babe Adams on first, Massey at sec ond. Hamel at short. Scheer at third, Kane in left field, McGowan in center and Noel in right.
 Fortune will be in form on Sunday and it is expected that he will again ioutpitch Naylor. During the last three games only 10 hits have been collected off his delivery, and at that rate Willimantic is due for about three hits on Sunday. Behind Fortune will be Shauffel doing the backstop work, Bowman, New Haven star, will be on

Williams will give Yale a close com- bat but nothing in the present season records indicates victory. The same IS true of Vermont in the game with Dart mouth. Cornell rolled up total of 6S points against New Hampshire and the Army while it may not duplicate these figures should win decisively from the New Engianders. Brown is favored to defeat Lehigh and Pennsylvania expects to win from Swarthmore by one or two touchdowns thus wiping out the tie game of last season

BLUENosE AND HENRY FORD
 READY FOR RACE

Gloucester, Mass, Oct. 2O-On the eve of the first deep sea sailing, con- tests between the racing fishing schooners, Bluenose of Canada; and Henry Ford, Representative of the American fleets, the former was grounded on a mud flat at her wharf, and the latter was having her sails re-cut to meet the requirements of the competition.
 It is expected, however, that both would be ready to race as planned tomorrow morning
 The Bluenose was stranded by low tides that also caught the Mayfiower, Boston's crack fishing schooner that came down to meet the winner of the international championship series.
 High tide of the early morning was expected to float both without injury
 Although a smaller vessel than the Biuenose and with a smaller sail spread, official measures reported tc the international sailing committee that they found the Henry Ford had 437 square feet more sail surface ii proportion to her waterline length than is allowed under the conditions of the contest.
 In order to bring the vessel within the stipulations, Captain MorrisseJ ordered that the main sail and fore top sail be reduced
 The Henry Ford, sailing as the champion of the American fisheries and as challenger for the international fishing vessel championship cup offer ed by the Halifax Herald, will carry secretary of the Navy Denby.

BILLY WOODS TO MEET
 CARNEY INSTEAD OF PALlTZ

Dave Palitz, New London aspirant for pugilistic honors, has again run out on the Mystic A. c. matchmakers and uses his bum lamp as an excuse for calling off the bout with Billy Carney. Palitz claims that since Mike Morley laid open the cut it has never been the same. and he is going to take no chances of infection by boxing until it is thoroughly healed.
 Al Cassidy says that he has waited long enough for the New London pug land is now going through with the show on Monday night. He has se- cured Billy Woods of Manchester, N. H., to meet Carney in the feature at traction. Woods is boy that takes on anybody who cares to swap punches and is always in condition to go on at any moment. He is no ham and egg CT, but a real boy that has showed | class around Boston during his recent ] boutsi He is without doubt every bit as good as the New Londoner and fans will miss nothing when they sec him instead of Palitz.
 Billy Carney has record that ought to qualify him for the perpetual mo- | tion championship.
 In the. comparatively few years that l he has been boxing he has fought just l 2S7 contests. Of these he has lost ] but 30, fighting 2S draws; winning by knockouts 79 times, winning by ref erees decisions 14S times, and being awarded two bouts on opponents fouls.
 His manager says that Carney is always eager to fight and bars no body. He even has had to do some of his training on Pullmans, his man l ager asserts because of the necessity 1 for quick jumps between bouts.
 Among the better known mittmen ] Mello, Nap Lejoie, Kid Poula, Fred Yell, Dave Powers, Johnny Clinton Chick West, Felix King, Sailor Dar- den, Young Goula, Elmer Hogan Frankie Grace, Wild Man Gould, Frank Tillo, Cyclone Ketchel, Harry Silva i K.

 It Is expected that the largest crowd of the season will see this game not only because it is the last game of the season, but because it is bound to. be a real contest The proceeds will go to the Tuberculosis Sanato- rum, and 1t is hoped that the base ball commission will be able to turn over a substantial sum to this worthy cause.
 The Khceys have put on the fastest baseball this season that Norwich has seen since the days of the old Con- necticut league, and deserve the sup port of the people in this last effort to give a real attraction to the public
