ALL-WATERBURY
 PLAYS NEW HAVEN BLUEJACKETS NEXT
Ralph MastriannO's Club Will Invade Elm City Sunday Locals Anx- iOus to Pile Up Score

New Haven, October 26 - The Elm City Bluejackets. who dis played excellent form against the Ansonia Acorns in a scoreless tie Sunday, expect 10 clash with the powerful All-Waterbury eleven Sunday. The Blueiackets have three offers for the Sabbath day, but in all probability will stack up against the rejuvenated Wa terbury eleven that swamped All Naugatuck last Sunday by score of 19 to O.
 The Jackets have games sched- uled with the West Ends of Bristol, who have been the only team to stop the gallop of the Thomaston Ponies this year; the Wheel Club eleven of Milford; the Laurels of Branford, and are open for an en- gagement with the Annex to deter mine the city championship. To date the local eleven is the only team in the state to hold the All Torrington eleven to a no-score game.
 Last Sunday afternoon the Jackets showed great improvement on the offense and showed snappy form in tieing the Ansonia team on their own grounds, and are fast rounding into top shape, despite the fact several players have been nursing injuries.

Rurors And Reality Gathered From This Sporting World
 The Grist Of Athletic Contest BY JOHN A. CLUNEY
1 Hurrah for the Rajah
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

In accepting a one year contract to play for the same man that tied can to him a few years ago. Rogers Hornsby seems to be in the same position as a drowning man grasping at straw. It is reason able to assume that certain amount of public sympathy has been worked up to his favor due to the publicity given the raw dear' handed him by the Chicago Cubs when they voted him out of a World Series split, but it seems as all of the why's and wherefores attendant upon that action just never will come out unless Hornsby himself spills the beans, and he's sitting pretty tight-for the prob able reason that he doesn't want to create a situation which could be described as "the teapot calling the kettle black" Hornsby's base ball, personal, and gambling career is pretty much of an open book, with his ability as a player or rath- CT a hitter as the best bet of the three, which is directly in line with the statement of Sam Breadon, St Louis Cardinal president who made it plain that it was not for senti- mental reasons that he is taking Hornsby back, but because he thinks the Rajah can help the team. Success, to attain it's great est peak in connection with any organization must be built around thorough, hearty and willing CO., operation from everyone concerned. Hornsby is not the most popular figure ever to play in St Louis. In fact, the reaction of the fans to- ward seeing him again in a Car dinal uniform will be worth watch ing. He Is not to be a manager, but player, from all accounts and must compete with the Cards field captain, Frankie Frisch, for the second base job. Another interest ing angle in connection with the one-year contract which the Rajah grabbed is-his salary. Breadon caught him at the right time, and you can bet all the coffee in Rio, his annual stipend for the 1893 season will be an awful lot of thousands less than the $40,000 he command ed from the Cubs. I think you will see a different Hornsby next season. Yet, despite his faults and failings, his bitter tongue and bet ting mania, 1t is still too early to say that he is of no further use as a big league ball player. And that, old pals is what big-hearted Sam Breadon is gambling on-nothing else. It's apparent that Hornsby is not wanted and Breadon is talk ing him on-for business, not for pleasure,

MERIDEN FAL CONS MAY
 PLAY ALL-WATERBURY HERE THANKSGIVING

Meriden, Oct 26-An ambitious schedule, as yet tentatively out lined, faces Manager Stan Barca- vich's Falcons. Starting with this Sunday, when the Falcons come to grips with Mickey Fortuna's Sons of Italy array of Middletown at St Stanislaus stadium, the Fall cons are practically certain of en- gazing the Wallingford Walcos the following week, either at home or abroad, and dangling with the Mer- iden North Ends on the following Sunday, November 13.
 Right afterward, although not yet arranged, there should be re- turn games with the Walcos and the North Ends and pretty good Likelihood that the Falcons will accept the offer of the All-Water- bury team to play a return game at Hamilton park, Waterbury, on Thanksgiving day. The Falcons won a 1912 victory over the Brass City combine recently that was a distinct upset.

Pitt Will Prove It

Maybe it's just because this hap pens to be the open season on ru- mors, but there have been reports that the current edition of the Notre Dame pigskin pelters is greater than any ever developed by the Great Rockne, not excluding the famous team of 1925 with its -Four Horsemen". All must agree on one point, however, and that is, the Notre Dame scoring punch is still at its heighth, and perhaps a bit better. For something on which to base such an assertion, one need go no further back than last Saturday when the erstwhile Ramblers sent the Carnegie Tech Skibos home on the circular end of a AZ to 0 count, the worst beating a Carnegie football team has suf- fered at the hands of Notre Dame in ten years of gridiron felicita- tions. Yet, the Ramblers did not seem to have occasion to "bear down" in six weeks of play. Next Saturday, facing the Pittsburgh Panthers and the astute Dr Jock Sutherland in the Panther jungle, the mis-named Fighting Irish will probably have to go the limit of their offensive and defensive abil- ity, the scoreless tie with Ohio State last week notwithstanding, for Pitt must be rated one of the casts best football machines this season. Pitt has had a pretty fair test of fire and has come through unscathed, while Notre Dame has been pihng up nearly a point a minute against opposition that was not too strong. Saturday should prove or disprove the fallacy or truth of the 1892 Notre Dame squads reported ability.

Old But
 Not Feeble

Back in the days of bare-fisted fighting, a boxer known to the world of sport as Jack Burke SCOT ed seventy-two consecutive knock outs in the light heavyweight divi- sion. He deserted boxing to be- come a wrestler, fought Hacken- schmidt, one of the great in the grunt and groan business, to a draw in a worlds title match that went hours 47 minutes without fall, and later travelled through out the world demonstrating feats of strength.
 A few days ago, reports The Syracuse Post-Standard, Burke, who is George W. Parker of 2 Washington street, Cortland, N. Y., bent a 10-penny nail between his teeth, twisted horseshoe out of shape, and snapped a brick in half for the amusement of members of the Optimist club at a meeting in the Hotel Syracuse. Parker ob- served his 73d birthday, Septem- Der 30 last.
 William Muldoon found Parker atop a coal wagon in Cortland forty years ago. and offered him a contract. The late John Courtney took care of the details and Parker was launched upon his career. Muldoon brought his new fighter to New York and sent him on a tour of the country with the Worlds Athletic association stable. For nine years Parker was mem- Der of the stable of John l.. Sul- livan, sparring with the champion and meeting all corners at his own weight. Without training, Parker stepped into the ring for his first fight against Shaggy McMann, one of the topnotchers of the day, and won.
 Parker holds the worlds record for the barrel or neck lift with harness, 2,250 pounds. He has al- lowed twenty-one men to see-saw on a plank laid across his chest, and he is said to be able to hold 500 to 600 pounds on his Adams s apple and talk at the same time.
 He taught Eugene w. Logan of Syracuse how to lift weight, and Logan still holds the record for the greatest weight ever lifted in the dumb bell method. At present, Parker is teaching his stepson, Robert Flash, and Charles White of Cortland all he knows about boxing, wrestling and weight-lift- ing. The former wrestler has given exhibitions against Jim Lon- dos and Strangler Lewis.
