The hall was packed with interest," ing spectators at last nights matches and some first class card playing was in evidence as Bill O'Donnell led his Galty boys to an easy win over Johnny Phelan's All-Stars. Jerry Shanahan's Steamrollers after drop ping their opening match last week turned in their first win of the tourney and their victims were George O'Neills Golfers.

Joe, after the bat tie, when asked if there was to be a shake-up in his team, replied in the negative, saying that his boys did not get started yet, but when they do, 1t will be just too bad for the other eleven teams.

NEW LOCAL WPA
 JOBS SENT IN
No More Men at Work; $500 Employed in COn-
 neCticut on Projects

several additional Waterbury WPA projects have been forwarded to Washington for final approval, but no more men were at work in the city today, other than these transferred last week. Throughout the entire state, according to a re- port released by the New Haven WPA office, almost $500 persons are working on WPA projects.
 A large part of the total number at work is employed on projects in New Haven, New London, and Middlesex counties. In these three counties, representing one district of three under which the state is divided by the WPA, 2,800 persons are at present at work on 39 pro- jects. In Waterbury, where close to 900 workers must eventually be transferred from the EZRA, less than 200 are now employed by the WPA.
 According to survey of the WPA made public yesterday at Washington, the number of made work jobs under the new relief program continues to remain far below par in Connecticut. The re- port is made upon the basis of pop ulation.
 Up to the present, only one-half of per cent of the total number of work-relief jobs created in the na- tion have been given to the needy in, Connecticut. The population of the state, according to the report, represents 1.3 per cent of the coun- try's population. Upon this basis. Connecticut is entitled to 10,352 of the 796,32l work relief appoint ments already made.

Roger HOrnsby
To Remain Head
OF Browns Team

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4. U.P)-Rogers
Hornsby, the trader" for the St
Louis Browns, will continue as pilot
of the club, should the team be
sold to syndicate Of business men
now making plans for the pur-
chase.
This was learned indirectly to-
night, following announcement by
Walter M Smith. organizer of the
syndicate, that s5oO00o will be nee
eSsary to finance the purchase.
The machinery has been set
in motion by eleven capitalists who
attended meeting called by Smith
to discuss formation of the syn
dicate. Success Of the venture will
have no effect on the present pos
ition of Hornsby as team manager.
The Rajah, however, refused
to answer questions concerning
the future sale, expected to mat
erialize within two weeks. I'm
still working for the ball estate"
he said. "and all / know about
this is what I've read"
The former National League slug
ger has a new three-year contract
with the club. He was asked if this
contract would be binding on any
new owners.
Its too soon to talk about
that" he answered.
HOrnsby, however, is expected
TO remain. This was indicated
when one of the group planning
the purchase remarked that
Hornsby-who had not been in
vited-should have been present
at the meeting.
Smith, executive of a nation
wide chain store, was first inter-
ested in the plan TO purchase the
club by George Sisler, former
first baseman and manager of
the Browns. Sisler, should the
deal be made, will become general
manager of the club.
The club franchise can be bought
for 100000, it is understood. The
other 100000 the syndicate plans
TO raise will be used TO condition
the club prior to the start of the
1886 season.
There has been no option on
the club. Smith pointed out the
estate controlling the property
is not empowered to grant one.
However, Smith did say that a
working agreement had been
reached, although no figures
have ever been named.
A second meeting of the syndicate
Will be held within 10 days, at
which time it is believed the sale
will be announced. The entire tran
saction is subject TO approval by
the American League.
