TRINITY PRACTICE TODAY. Preparing For Saturday's Game Wtth Morn. Monday was a holiday at Trinity College and some of the football men who had taken advantage of the few days' vacation for a visit to their homes, did not return to college until late yesterday. Coach Gettell has not had his team out this week so far. but he has called them out for some good stiff practice this afternoon.

Trinity plays Storrs on Trlnltv FloM on Saturday and from all Indications It will be a close and interesting contest The Connecticut Agricultural College has a very good team this year, especially In weight, and has shown up well in every game played so far. Gettell intends to keep the Trinity men busy the rest of the week nnd from all appearances the fast work of the local collegians should just about offset the superior weight of the Storrs team, so that an Interesting game may be expected on Saturday. TO GIVE UP FOOTBALL. Scranton, Nov. 2.

Announcement Eighteen Years Since Holy Day Came so Early. For the first time since the Hartford Baseball Park was opened the Hart ford team will be unable to play an exhibition game on Good Friday next season. In 1910, Good Friday cornea on March 25, much too early for a baseball game, as the team does not report until nearly the middle of April. In some years, the teams in this section report as early at April 5, but they are never on hand as early as March. This will be the first time In eighteen years that the holy day comes so early.

In 1891 Good Friday was on March 27. On Good Friday, this year, the Providence team played here. Two games were scheduled, but the weather was bad and but one game could be played. Hugh Duffy, who is to man age the White Sox next season, brought the Providence team here and Hartford won the game. It was on April 10.

Manager Clarkln received re quests this week from some clubs in the New England League to switch off on the holiday dates, the New fc.ng- landers wanting to 'come here on Good Friday and have the Hartford team play up there on Patriots' Day. Because the Good Friday date this year was not given to New Bedford, there was nearly a break in athletic rela tions between Managers Clarkln and Dowd. The latter was ready to sever the relations until he learned that the date had been promised to Duffy, and he knew that Manager Clarkln would not go back on his word. For several years, the preliminary outlay and training expenses of the Hartford team were paid by the Good Friday receipts and the club was able to begin the championship season with a balance on the right side of the ledger. This was notably so the year that John E.

Kennedy managed the team and the crowd poured through the gates In such numbers that the manager had a headache when he was through counting up. The weather last season was too cold to bring out a bumper crowd but the fans were very enthusiastic and the work of the players Indicated the great exhibitions that were to follow. While the game was being played here, deep sea divers were at work upon the grounds in New Haven and Springfield, as it was the time of the annual floods in those localities. At Savin Rock, there was so much water on the diamond that Manager Bone issued an Invitation to the Yale crews to come down and have some prac tice. The Springfield management never recovered from the losses en tailed by the flood, the monetary loss handicapping the management when new players were sought for.

For some time. Manager Clarkln has fa vored a later season for the champion ship games in this league. PUZZLE CLUB IS FORMED. BJIly the Barber Is Chosen Master Mechanic, For a number of years, 'William Eaton, known as Billy the Barber, has been recognized as the authority in these parts on everything connected with the prize ring and the boxing game. He has all the records from the time of Figg, who was the cham pion in 1719.

He has the principal fights catalogued and he can tell off' hand not only how various fights were won but various incidents in the lives of the champions, such as the dates. of 'the marriages of Bob Fitzsimmons. Eaton is a little partial towards Ruby Bob and when any one hints that there have been better men than the Kan garoo, Eaton, will come back with a flood of statistics and memoranda to show that the Blacksmith wa3 the greatest man who ever entered the roped arena. Eddie Lyman and Joe Cairns always contended that they knew just a little more about a fighter than Eaton and Lyman went Up into Neil Sloan's yesterday to argue a few points with Eaton about the respective merits of Jeff and Jack. "Hey, Billy," said Lyman, "I see that Joe Cairns says that the dinge will butcher the- boilermaker and he may "not be very far out of the way at that." "Work on this for a little while." answered Eaton, as he held several blocks of with notches cut in different places, so the blocks could be pieced together.

"I did not come here to build wooden houses," said Lyman; "what are you doing here with that truck, you'll be playing 'London bridge Is falling next." "Go ahead and do the said Eaton. Well, well. Is it as bad as that?" asked Lyman, "you keep that game up and they'll have you In the booby hatch." Lyman had gone Into the place to get the current dope on the chances of the contenders for the champion ship and he would not be put off with a puzzle. Eaton took him into the back room, where he manufactures the puzzles, and showed him the lathes, planes, chisels and other tools with which he worked. He picked up a plane and began to smooth the edges of a board.

Hey, Bill, you're all right," said Lyman, "John McClary has got nothing on you. Detective Hart and Bob Magonlgal have Joined the club, which has the following officers: President Neil Sloan. Master Mechanic Billy the Barber. LAWS0N AND KEEGAN. Walter Keegan of Rochester and Chick Lawson of Naugatuck have signed the articles for the wrestling match In Waterbury on the night of November 12.

Most of Yale's football work was In secret again today. The regulars clashed with the scrubs for a 25-min-utes half before the gates were opened. Two'touchdowns were forced against the scruhs' goal. Murphy and Coy taking the ball over. Howe was bark at quarterback and ran the eleven fast.

Captain Coy went back to fullback and Murphy to left halfback but Coy says that it Is lie plan of the coaches to play the hacks In perhaps two positions this year. Every member of the haekfleld Is expected to know the signals for the three back positions and. although Coy. Murphy and Phllbin are! regarded as the trio certain to start the closing games of the season the positions which they will till at the start of play will not be decided till the night before the Princeton mulch. Coy was tried at left halfback and Murphy fullback for three days.

Kiipatriek did not report and Vaugiian was given an afternoon at left end. Paul was tried in Lllley place at right tackle but again hurt his knee and quit in the middle of the drill. But for the Injury which has kept him on the sidelines for ten days he would now be filling one of the regular tackle po sitions. He is regarded by some of the. coaches the strongest tackle on the squad.

Fifteen minutes of play was given the two elevens after the gales were opened. Tills was entirely devoted to defensive work for the varsity. Savage, who was fullback on the scrubs, hit the regular line hard and enabled the second teum to take the nail from the 25-yard line to only five yards from the varsity goal where the regulars held and drove back the scrub attack. The second team were given five tries without being able to take the ball over but tinally a forward pass, Corey to Freeman, enabled the varsity to score a touchdown. The coaches were Gordon Brown, 1IW1: Henry Holt, 1H03; Kalph Bloomer, 11106, and Bos Heebe, 1908.

Phllbin reported today for the first time in a week but did no scrimmage. He practiced punting and catching kicks an hour. SOCCER ALSO DANGEROUS. Philadelphia, Nov: 2. T.

Fred Harrison, the Cheshire Giant, put on a new pair of shoes yesterday and he walked as If they squeezed a little, although the size was 14. They are about twice as large as the shoes worn by the man of average size and they do not look very big on Harrison's feet, as he is well proportioned and is big all over. Like tho other articles that he wears, he has to have them made to measure as there Is nothing In the ready-made stock that Is large enough. Harrison Is very proud of his new shoes and when he showed them the Strong Men's Club last night. Manager Alfred Anderson said he had seen a pair of shoes as large once he-fore and that was when Andrus Anderson was here.

Andrus was a big man who came over from Sweden and with his bare fist drove a spike through a four-inch plunk. "I was walking down State street with Andrus one day." said Manager Anderson, 'and he sloped in front of tho American Hotel, looked Into the window of the little simp In the base ment, and said he thought that It was good place for big shoes. I did not comprehend what he meant and when said 'big shoes' 1 supposed he meant was a big store for boots and shoes. told him that It was a small store and there were many other places here where they had a larger stock. But was bound to go in and he saw a pair that suited him.

I did not pay any particular attention to his "Andrus was my guest while he was Hartford and while here he followed the custom which prevails in the hotels and public houses abroad. When he retired at night, he placed his shoes outside the door, probably supposing that 1 had a valet who would brush them by the time he was ready for them. 1 was walking through the hallways and saw two objects extending out from the door. They looked like small canoes. Andrus wore the low shoes with large silver buckles that are the style in Sweden and when noticed the si.e of his shoes I recalled what he said when he talked about the place where they had big shoes.

He wore No. just the same size as our iriend Harrison here, and when I saw Mr. Harrison coming In todav with his new Xo. 14's. 1 recalled the experience had with Andrus Anderson, who drove spikes through the plank with his bare list." CLINTON PARK AN AUTO COURSE.

Manager of Boston Americans. Boston, Nov. 2. Following Fred Lake's resignation yesterday as manager of the Boston American League Baseball team. Patrick J.

Don ovan today signed a contract to man-aie the team next year. I-ake's resig nation was due to a disagreement with President John 1.

V. 213 CHEER DR. WELDON. WILLING TO TREAT THE POOR WITHOUT PAY. Makes Proposal Which Settles Town Doctor Controversy.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CHARTER REJECTED. (Special to The Courant. South Manchester, Nov. S. When Dr.

T. H. Weldon made the statement: "Gentlemen, to show I am elnce-e and wish to have the poor people of this town have the right to select their own doctor, I stand ready to enter Into compact wlth the other physicians of the town and the board of selectmen, to furnish professional service to the dependent poor of this town free of charge, not for this year alone, but as long as I practice medicine in the town," he brought tha voters of the town to the number of almost BOO, to their feet, white cheer after cheer went up. Another cheer was given when Horace B. Cheney, chairman of the board of selectmen, said, "When Dr.

Weldon comes to the. selectmen with the names of the other doctors I will answer for Dr. Burr, and If he still holds to his contract will pay the 5 00." It was a strange finish to a very stormy session during which much mud had been thrown, mostly at Dr. Weldon, but the doctor's words mada him one of the most popular men in town. There "was little more to do and Harry M.

Burke moved that the meeting then adjourn, to be held in the same place at 8 o'clock In the evening one montn from tonight. iseveral amendments were offered to the motion to one being by H. B. Cheney, which was ruled out of order as not being a definite time, and when all had been cleared away the motion made by Representative Burke and seconded by Judge Bowers was passed by a vote which left no doubt In the minds of the selectmen or the othtrs. The town meeting to consider the question of a town physician was called to order at 8 p.

by Horace B. Cheney, chairman of the board of selectmen. The call was read by Town Clerk Benton. Dr. T.

H. Weldon, a-former selectman, who headed the petition, was the first speaker. He told of the supervision exercised by the charity commissioner. Under the present system thf own doctors are allowed to make 6xitj one call before reporting the case to the charity superintendent, who then regulates the calls of the doctor, if regulations are necessary. The cost to the town last 1 year for town's poor was about $620.

By the proposed change of having a town physician to look after the town's poor there would be a saving of prob-' ably $100, but in so doing deprives the worthy poor of the physician in whom they have confidence, which is a big factor in the aid of sickness. He did not appear before the voters for a selfish method or as a politician, but one Interested In the poor for the purpose of giving equal Justice to all. John S. Rlsley, charity superintend ent, In a speech In which there was considerable tartness, said that he, too, was Interested in the poor. The cry had been for economy in the charity department There was about 3,000 taxpayers and about eleven doctors.

It was for the purpose of doing the right thing by the taxpayers that the change was made. It was a change for the good for greatest ntfmber. He was surprised to learn that there was a set of men In town who would dare sign a petition for a town meeting on any such question. The town poor had been allowed to pick their own grocer and abuses had crept in. The change was made at his suggestion In regard to the securing of the town doctors.

The contract with Dr. Burr was for $500, while the average cost for doc tors during the past ten years had been $1,042.83. Thomas McRoberts started to SDeak and an effort was made to stop him by applauding. Chairman J. M.

Shew- ry stopped the noise and allowed Mr. McRoberts to speak. Chairman Cheney said that the rea son that the contract had not been put up for auction was because the general statutes would not allow them. The result was not reached in a head long way, but after careful consideration, and was a matter that had been taken up In meeting of the board selectmen for a year before the appointment was made. Dr.

Burr In accepting the appointment also agreed to supply most of the drugs used and also to appoint two deputies, one for the South End and another for th? North End. He did not consider that any action taken by the voters at the meeting would invalidate the contract that the selectmen had made with Dr. Burr. He asked that the co-operation of the town be given In carrying out this experiment, and if it was not a success it would not be continued after the present contract expired. After considerable heated discussion Dr.

Weldon made his proposition which changed over the whole aspect of the meeting. New Amendment Rejected. Town meeting No. 1 held from 9 a. m.

yesterday to 8 p. to vote on the proposed amendment to the city charter, proved to be a very tame affair. Eight hundred and fifty votes were cast. While the vote was being taken the following officers were in charge: Moderator, Charles R. Hathaway; envelopes, Michael O'Connell and Thomas F.

Gry; ballots, Benjamin Cadman and Hehry Wheeler; booth, William Merrick; box tender. Dr. F. Sweet; checkers, W. S.

Hyde and Walter Cowles, jr. The vote was an nounced as follows: Whole number cast 853 Necessary for a choice, 428 Ko, 629 Yes, 222 Majority for No 407 This means that the new amend ment, which was first brought to the voters by a by-law committee, chopped down and passed and then presented the Legislature, where it was passed with a referendum clause, is now and that no changes will be made In the present form of govern ment for the present, at least. ROLLER POLO. NEW YORK UNIVERSITY WINS, 13-12. Fordham and Georgetown Plays Tie Game.

TRINITY TEAM RESUMES PRACTICE TODAY. (Special to The Courant.) New York. Nov. 2. New York University, unbeaton and even unscored upon, lined up against Wesleyan on Ohio Field this afternoon and nosed out a single point victory, 13 to 12.

The day was Ideal for football, the crowd numbered about 4,000 and play whs fierce and at times tricky. New York University celebrated election night as It expected to and Adeline Oenee wore purple and white ribbons on her ankles In "The Silver Star" tonight. It was the first time New York University had defeated Wesleyan and the celebration of the undergrads was correspondingly great. The victory was not a clean one. Wesleyan scored like a flash at the start and rolled up twelve points on good plays.

One touchdown was the result of a forward pass to White, who also scored the second touchdown. But Pazzettl was forced to safety twice on rumbled or blocked plays and a straight football touchdown for New York University brought the score 12-10, favoring Wesleyan at end of the "first half. In the second half, the Manhattan-ltes secured a goal from placement on the fifteen-yard line and succeeded In holding the point advantage until the final whistle. Pazzettl was brilliant for Wesleyan at times, while White's work through the line was noteworthy. Quill, Nixon and Yule were the home stars.

New York University's complete change of plan from end runs to guard back formations Is perhaps accountable for victory. A feature was a lifty-ftve-yard run by- Yule, the New York University full back, for the first touchdown. Klce, the Wesleyan left halfbacjc, was severely Injured and removed from the game, Reynolds taking his place. Summary: New York University. Wesleyan.

Team II ceo vera From Butter Finger Maludy. In the first scrimmage of the week yesterday afternoon for the Hartford High School football players, the first team easily rolled up a score of twenty-seven points against the seconds. The practice game was fast and at times brilliant, for the open style of play was used to some extent by the first team, developing several long runs, forward passes and nnslde kicks. Fumbling yesterday was very Infrequent, and the team seems to have recovered almost entirely from the butter finger malady which appeared Saturday in the game with Mlddletown. C.

Ilrown kicked off to C. A. Brown, who tore off twenty yards in short order. On the next play, tseo vllle executed a satisfactory forward pass to Griswold, which left the bull thirty-five yards nearer the second team gonl. Another forward pass and several tackle plays carried the ball to the one-yam Hue, ami then Mi I lennott was sent around right end for the first touchdown.

Love kicked off to W. C. Brown, who ran fifteen yards, 1 he second team lost the ball on downs, and a punt by l.ove and a second team fumble recovered by bnve left i he ball again in the first team's possession. Scovllle reeled off a thirty-yard run around right end and C. A.

Brown dove through the right tackle hole tor the second touchdown. W. Brown kicked off to A. Brown who again ran the ball back twenty yards. After several poor passes by both teams I'tley.

plalng for the second team, punted to S.oville. who made a twenty-yard run. McCue, by good following of the ball, captured C. A. Brown's on -side kick.

The second team held fur two plays and Love made a line punt with the wind which went over forty yards. Griswold was "Johnny on the Spot" In getting down under this punt. and. picking the bull up on the second team's ten-yard line, he trotted across the gnal line for another touchdown. Love kicked off to W.

C. Brown, who ran ten yards. W. C. Brown soon punted to MeBermott.

I'tiey, now playing on the tirst team, made a good run around left end and passed the nail forward to Mol'erniott. This piav carried the ball to the live-yard line and Mcliermoti scoied another touchdown through right tackle. W. C. Brown kicked off to c.

A. Brown, who for the third time ran back the kick-off twenty yards. Konig secured C. A. Brown's onsido kick and easily ran thirty yards across the line scoring the hist touchdown, l.ove kicked off to W.

c. Brown, who was tackled back i the line when attempting to run the hail out. This meant a safety and added two points to the tirst team's score. The rest of the scrimmage was uneventful. Final score.

27 to 0. FORDHAM AND GEORGETOWN No Srore At American Uitur Park. New York. Nov. 2.

Fordham and Georgetown fought out an election day football game at the American League Baseball Park today to a scoreless tie. Although Fordham had half a dozen of the same players who defeated Georgetown last year, 22 to 0. and the same team which bent Cornel! this vear, the local eollegians found the Georgetown heavier line an Invincible defense, especially In open plav. In the first half, most of the plav was In Fordham's terrltorv, due to the superior kicking of Wvnard of Georgetown over Walsh of Fordham. and three times the visitors threatened Fordham' Rtuil, Poor forward passes and a fumble checked those efforts to score.

After considerable delay and dls- cusslon among the students of Trlnltv College who are interested In basketball, a team has finally been organized with Hobart Cook as captain and a schedule of eleven games has been arranged by Manager Joe Carroll. Two years ago the Athletic Association of Trinity College voted to discontinue basketball as one of the regular sports, because the games were very poorly attended and the team consequently ran and was a constant drain on the association for a number of years. Some of the students, how ever, got together last year and decided to try to run a team independently. The result was that because of Manager Creedon's economic manner of arranging the schedule, the team last year came out even, as far a finances were concerned. There were only three home games, wan laie, storrs and Wesley and this made It possible to run the team without going into debt.

This year Carroll has so arranged the schedule that there will not be any iienie. fcaiues ai hii. Interest In basketball at Trinity seems to be confined to a few enthusiastic students and tney are willing, evidently to keep up the game for its own sake! as without the recognition of the Athletic Association the men on the team can get no official honors or numerals or any other formal recognition for their worn, ine reason tor mis state of affairs seems to be the lack of any Interest In basketball among the general oiuueiii ooay. 11 is possioie. However, aner ine good snowing or last years team, that, if this year's team does as well, basketball may again be Included in ine list 01 omciai sports at Trinity oiiege.
