Last y the locals won one game and the sec- ond resulted in a tie. The Capitol City aggregation is one of the strong- est teamg in Hartford and is en- gaged in the spirited three-cornered fight in Hartford for the champlon- ship of that city, and their rivals are the Tiger-Ramblers and Clay Hills The team is coached by Joe Mulli- gan, a former Colgate star, and has already played two splendid games against the West Ends of Bristol and the Valley Park A. C., of Torrington {In the lineup of the All-Hartfords will be “Mickey” Landers, one of the best semi-professional football play- ers in Connecticut. With him are four other brothers, each of whom Is a very capable football player. Also, among the others, are McCabe and Peterson: both of these men are well known to those who have fol. lowed the Nutmegs in previous sea- sons. The local elated over their great battle with the heavy Lake Torpedo team last Sunday, are con- fident that they will put up as good | a fight tomorrow. The attack das been Improved, and with Koplowits back at quarter, a decided change can be seen. Last week, Hagearty, who played that position, was forced to g0 in without ever having played | that position. Tomorrow he will be back at his regular position at left halfback. With these two sturdy boys, will be Capt. “Nervo” Nelson, and Joe Neville. Talbot will also be in uniform for the first time and will undoubtedly get jnto the game for a while. One of the most pleasant sur- prises of last Synday’'s game was the all round work of Jim Conley at left end. Conley, although quite heavy, weighing in the neighborhood of 170, is very fast, and the way in which he stopped the heavy onslaught of the Lake backs has won him a reg- ular position. Harold Thompson also played well and will surely play to- morrow. As for the line, their de- fense was almost perfect, and all that the coaches could wish for. Clesson Parker will again referee, and to- morrow's game will start at 3 o'clock. Extra cars will be run to and from | Nutmeg field on Stanley street The Nutmegs will have a surprise for the fans tomorrow, when a new | end will be found in the ¢ocal's line- | up., boys, MITCHELL WANTS TO KNOW.

Johnson admitted having wired President Heydler his belief that the conferenee of major leazue club own- ers scheduled for Monday would be a mistake in view of the incomplete work of the Cook County Grand Jury. He said: “This grand jury has accomplished already what no other agency has been able to do, and has done it with a celerity that astonished every- body. Its work is not finished. In fact, it is my information that clews are now in hands which may lead to disclosure of more facts than have yet been dreamed of. I believe that all attempts to reform baseball by new tribunals should be deferred un- til we know ‘who's who in baseball.” “Some people have been made sore by the exposure already made. More may be made sore when the infor- likely to come before the grand jury next week is known “No other investigating body incap- able of summoning witnesses and ex- amining them under oath, could have turned up the crookedness that has already been uncovered by the grand jury in the short space of time in which it was done. I believe the developments of the coming week will be even more surprising to the pub- lic. “Judge McDonald is honest determination to expose all dishones- ty in baseball, and I am willing to give him all the aid in my power. I think all the friends of baseball ought to stand by him and await thc de- cision of this grand jury before tak- ing any further action. “I believe in making a housecleaning before starting to re- model the house.” = President Ban Johnson of the Amer- ican league In disc ing his reason in his thorough VARDON AND RAY HELD EVEN. e Reid and McLeod Finish All Square in Exhibition Golf Match.
