. Hartford. Nov 19 Nearly 2,000 peo
ple crowded the Coliseum Saturday
night expecting to see . Hartford and
Springfield put up a fast game of- the
old tfnie .variety of polo, and they
were not disapp'ointed. It was swish,
bang, bing from the sound of Referee
Leahy's whistle, and although Hart
ford carried off the victory by a score
tof 11 to 7, it was anybody's game un
jtil five mlriutes before tne close.
During the first two periods the vis
itors outplayed Hartford at all 'points,
although at times Wodtke showed phe
nomenal bursts of speed, which
aroused the spectators to enthusiasm.
The German, however, seemed disgust
ied at the poor work of Schofield, who
teemed to .be 4n everybody's way. in
'cluding his own, during the first half
hour of plav, and Cotter and Doherty
were very tired at the close of the sec
tond Inning with the score 6 to 5 in
Springfield's favor.
The ball seemed to roll Hartford's
war ftt the opening of the final period,

Bert Mallory. had two telegrams
from Fred Doe on Friday offering him
a large-salary to join, .Doe's Maine
league team.' Mallory, decided he
would riot go. ' - .
This is the way Dicky "Pierce sets
forth the "Bills" of the Springfield
club: Honest Bill (Aufort); Silent
Bill (Curtis); Wild Bill (Whiting);
Big Bill (Heffernan.) .
Fred Doe still has some hot air left.
His latest telegram says he will give
you $150, but does not say for how
long. Fred has no limit, anyway.
Thus talks Jimmy Lations in yester
day's Register.
To show their appreciation of their
old manager, the New Havens present
ed Manager Aufort with a traveling
bag Thursday evening. After the game
Manager Aufort tendered the mem
bers of both teams a banquet. Spring
field News. t
An idea of the fast game the Water
bury team put up against Hartford
last night is shown by the record of
fifty stops Starkie, Hartford's goal
tend, made, and with Barney Doherty
in front of the cage, too. Surely Wa
terbury must have played like cham
pions. Springfield News.
Waterbury has sig r d Griffin, releas
ed by Hartford and le signalized his
first appearance witl the team at Wa
terbury last night bj Winning from his
old associates. "G ff" is an excel
lent polo player an (will make a big
improvement in the-' Vuterbury team.
Parsons wil play substitute. Spring
field News.
It was apparent from the start that
Cotter and his associates were sur
prised at the wonderful work of the
upriver luen. Curtis was like a whirl
wind, and if last night's game can be
used as a criterion he will surely equal
Cunningham or Hipson before the close
of a very few weeks. Hartford Globe.
The second week tff the polo season
of the National league. has. about prov
en that New Haven, Hartford and
Springfield are in a class by themselves
with Waterbury- and Meriden hopeless
tailenders. Hartford Globe. And yet
one of the tailenders, by name Water
bury, gave you the worst beating of
the week.
All kinds of schemes have been de
vised to secure attendance at, and to
attract attention to, the polo games,
but Manager Canavan enjoys the dis
tinction of being. the first to venture
into the trading stamp plan. The Red
Amusement Voucher company re
deem its stamps by issuing free thea
ter tickets. Manager Canavan has had
the rink put upon the list of amuse
ment places for which tickets will be
given in exchange for stamps. It re.
quires 150 stamps to secure an admis
sion ticket. New Haven Register.
Harry Starkie in the -circle has kept
up the good work which made him a
big favorite in Waterbury last season,
and with a few more games it can be
safely said that Hartford will be in
the fight for the championship to the
sound of the gong next March. It
Is hoped for the best interests of the
game that the Waterbury and Meriden
clubs will be strengthened before
many more games, but Messrs Parsons
and Reilly are two oler heads at the
business and they will undoubtedly
bob up serenely before many games
with a line-up which will keep the
others busy. Hartford Globe.
There is to be a noticeable improve
ment in the polo balls, Manager Au
fort says. Recently he went to the
Victor factory and had a talk with the
superintendent of the department
which manufactures the balls. ' He
learned that no one had ever taken
the trouble to explain what the fault
was or to indicate what was wanted.
When Manager Aufort pointed out the
defects, chief of which was the ten
dency to turn from a sphere into a
hexagon, the official said it would be
remedied at once. Manager Aufort
hag tried one of the new balls and
pronounces it to be satisfactory.
Holderness at halfback seems utter
ly unable to get into the form which
made-him a big favorite in the Brass
city in '98. His principal weakness is
in his habit of indulging in blind pass
ing and smashing the ball to the four
corners of the surface, without pur
pose. He has a very bad habit of
placing a handicap on his associates
by his persistent holding of opposing
players, which 'will cost his team
many close games on account of for
feited goals. In Jean and Fox, Par
sons has two consistent workers, and
with Holderness adopting an entire
new system of play and Warner in the
game the Brass city quintet may be
able to shine as a possible pennant
winner, but it will take tall hustling
on the" part of Billy Parsons to bring
his men into a winning gait. Hartford
Globe. This week will tell the tale,
and Waterbury may be thought more
of when the week is ended.
The second week, of the polo season
ends with all the clubs of the various
leagues still intact, and with the
leagues also ,ln promising condition, if
all - reports are to be credited; The
much touted prosecution for the Illegal
use of cages has not yet materialized,
and 1t looks as if Jean Jacques baa
not the courage to carry out the threats
he made with such great bombast a
few weeks since. The turning over of
the cage rights to the National league
appears to have been a clever ruse to
saddle the troubles upon the league. A
proposition has been made to send a
league representative up to Maine to
institute proceedings against the clubs
there, but the directors seem to be of
the opinion that they have troubles,
and expense enough of their own.
There is no immediate danger of any
attempt to collect royalties unless Jean
Jacques undertakes, the, ' proceedings
himself. New Haven Register.

John L. Sullivan Is Recovering Ped
lar':Palmei Wants to Como Over
Here For "Another Try at McGovern
Bat Mattison Says the Western
Clubs Will Not Offer a Big Purse
Al Weinig Wins a Fight in Canada
Other Notes of Boxers.
John L. Sullivan, who is a patient
at the Polyclinic hospital on .East
Thirty-fourth street, is gradually re
covering from the effects of the pain
ful operation which has necessitated
his confinement and has lost over nine
teen pounds since he took to his bed.
The loss of flesh is gratifying to the
big fellow, who has grown too stout
during the past live years. The for
mer champion is looking better and
younger than he has in years and says
that he feels as lively as a two-year-old.
PALMER COMING OVER.
"Fedlcr" Palmer has posted a for
feit at London to get on a return
match with Harry Hare. Talmer has
lost prestige among the British sports
and he finds it more difficult to get
as remunerative backing as he could
before he lost to Terry McGovern in
this country. Palmer says he may
visit America again and try to get on
another fight with McGovern in a
limited round bout at Chicago or Louis
ville. ,
BAT MASTERSON TALKS.
Bat Masterson," the ' well-known
western sportiugman. is iu town. Mas
terson was "Kid" Broad's timekeeper
when the latter fought Terry McGov
ern at Chicago on last Tuesday night.
Masterson says that Broad made the
featherweight champion extend him
self. He further said: "I have re
signed as matchmaker of the Colorado
A. C. of Denver. As far. as I can see,
there is no earthly chance of any of
the big men fighting there this winter.
The people have not got the money and
no club will give such a purse as
$20,000 or $25,000. as the foremost
heavyweights will no doubt .demand.
AL WEINIG WINS.
Toronto, Ontario, Nov 19. The
Crescent Athletic club conducted a
boxing show at the Bijou theater Sat
urday night that was well attended.
The main bout was between Al Weinig
of Buffalo and Eph McGee of Toronto.
It was a very brief affair. Weinig be
came the aggressor from the start, and
in the second round landed a hard
right on the Canadians jaw, and Mc
Gee did not recover for nearly live
minutes. The men 'were matched to
box twenty rounds.
ABOUT THE RINGSIDE? . ...
There is talk of Tom Sharkey meet
ing an unknown heavyweight at Phil
adelphia within the next two weeks.
Morry Krause says that as he has
not heard anything from George Mun
roe, he will match Jimmy Lowe
against any other 110 pounder in the
business.
Jack McCormick of Philadelphia,
Who put Kid McCoy to sleep with one
punch at Chicago last year, has de
cided to take up his old profession of
wrestling. McCormick is anxious to
meet any of the Graeco-Roman cracks.
Champion Jim Jeffries and his
brother Jack have patched Up their
grievances. The latter will in the fu
ture be the big boilermaker's sparring
partner. The two had a falling out
owing to the fact that Jack took up
fighting as a business against the
wish of the champion.
It is evident that Kid McCoy in
tends to remain away from this coun
try for an indefinite period. He has
sold his cafe to his brother Homer,
and says that lie has no idea of going
into the saloon business again. Homer
savs that he has received .onlv. one
letter from his brother since he went
to Europe.
Joe Macias, manager of Kid Broad,
on Saturday received an offer from a
Chicago club for a six-round mill be
tween Broad and Benny Yaeger, the
"Tipton Slasher," to be decided at
Chicago on November 27. Macias says
that lie lias been compelled to refuse,
as Broad is not in condition to meet
any one at present.
Peter Maher says that he will take
a trip to Louisville In a few days to
see the matchmaker of the Nonpariel
A. C. of that city regarding his pro
posed match with Gus Ruhlln. Maher,
who is in fairly good shape, declares
that if he cannot come to terms wun
the "Akron Giant" he will ask the club
to hang up a purse for himself and
Tom Sharkey.
Articles of asreemeut were signed
on Saturday night binding a match of
twenty rounds between Joe Walcott
and Bill Haurahan, to be decided at
the Empire A. C, Hartford, on De
cember 13. The contest will be for n
part of the gate receipts, 75 per cent
to the winner and 25 per cent to the
loser. Both pugilist? have started in
to train, John T. Willis will be
referee.
Bad Wmvrm From Colombia.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Nov. 19. The
British steamer Atrato, Captain Copp,
which left Southampton Oct. 17 for Bar
bados, has arrived here from Colon, Co
lombia. Captain Copp reports that the
insurgents had gained several important
victories during the fortnicht that pre
ceded his departure and that when he
left Colon they were marching in force
against Panama, where the stores had
been closed iu momentary expectation of
an attack. He says that the. three mast
ed schooner Marie Isabella was ordered
to leave Colon Thursday because she bad
a cargo' of gunpowder which the Colom
bian authorities believed was intended
for the rebels, although it was consigned
to a neighboring republic. It appears also
from Captain Copp's statement that busi
ness in Colombia is generally at a stand
still, that exchange is now at 1,200 and
that the military difficulties of the situa
tion are complicated by an outbreak of
yellow ' fever, rapidly approaching the
proportions of an epidemic, at. Port Li
mon and Boeas del Toro.

3;ts first defeat, in three years was
administered to the Winsted'.T., A. B.
football eleven fn Winsted on Satur
day by the strong' Merrimac eleven of
this City, the' score ' being 0-0. The
Winsted team is 'made up of strong,
husky fellows, veterans, whose knowl
edge of how the game should be play
ed is unlimited. Among 'its games
this season are victories over the St
Thomas Cadets, the crack Seymour
team, the Torrington team and several
other teams. But Saturday they met
their superior's, being outclassed in
every thlug except weight. The Mer
rimac's was characterized by a vim
and dash, agility and snap which won
the admiration of the - 500 rooters
present. Neither side scored in the
first half though it seemed as if the
WInsteds would do the trick. By
straight football they pushed the ball
from the center of the field to the
Merriinas's 10-yard line. .' Here, with
two and one-half minutes to play, the
Merrlmacs made a determined stand
and prevented their opponents from
scoring. During the second half the
Merrlmacs held the. ball throughout
after the kick off. By hard bucks
through the line and by skirting the
ends, the Merrimacs pushed the ball
down the "field from her 20-yard line
for a touchuown, W. Thompson mak
ing the tour by a plunge through the
line. Scully kicked a goal. Shortly be
fore the game ended Captain M.
Byrnes of the Merrimacs received an
injury to his leg, forcing him to re

unable to accompany the team but his

BROKE UP IN A ROW.
The Waterville and Union City ele
vens met on the gridiron in Waterville
yesterday before an audience of about
500 people. The game, which was full
of interest and excitement, ended in
a dispute. The score stood 0-0 iu favor
of the Union City team when a dis
pute arose in the second half. The
Union City timekeeper claimed the
teams hau already played two min
utes overtime, while Waterville's timer
persisted that there was four minutes
more to play. Waterville then made a
touchdown and kicked a goal without
any opposition by the Union City
team. The score was 0-0 or 0-0; take

It will be Yale and Harvard next.
These are the names to conjure with
this week, and on Saturday, when the
two greatest football elevens in this
country line up in New Haven, it
should be a struggle from the first
sound of the whistle to the last stand
before the goal.
Harvard's raaguificcut victory over
the University of Pennsylvania and
Yale's overwhelming of the Tigers
bring these two teams close together
for the championship title, so far as
reasoning persons arc able to estimate.
There will be betting ou the result of
the meeting, and it will be even money,
or Yale favorite with Yale and Har
vard favorite with Harvard. ,
The question of who will win is one
that safely may be left to those who
have attachments to the one or the
other- university, or to the individual
who, for reasons of sentiment of ecsta
sv, has always adhered to the Blue or
the Crimson. The very fact that the
winner .is hard to pick fills the coming
contest' with-the promise of a fierce
struggle throughout.
Other pending games sink into in
significance in comparison with that
between Yale find Harvard, and when
this is ended the real- football season
of 1900 will have closed. The Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, however, yet has
to meet Cornell, and Columbia will
face the Carlisle Indians .with- the
memory of last year's defeat as an in
centive for deeds of valor and a vic
tory.' - ", . . .
The manner in which Yale disposed
of Princeton -on Saturday-is no sur
prise.' Out Of consideration for the ex
pressed opinions of ' the .New Haven
paptain and coaches football follow
ers tried to-' convince themselves -that
the -seore would be small, and that the
old spirit of Nassau that so often has
carried the Tigers through the- brunt
of battle bravely and well would pre
vail. But enthusiasts were beyond
persuasion, and though Princeton had
sturdy supporters in plenty, many of
those who secretly wished for a Tiger
victory felt certain that, Yale "would
sweep the field. And Yale did Ifc -
The management of the St Thomas
Cadets' foot ball eleven" intend to have
their players in the best possible; con
dition for the Thanksgiving day game
With the strong Fifth, -Artillery eleven
of Fort H&milton.New York, and con
sequently they will put the players
through the hardest of practice this
week. Yeste-'av afternoon Captain
Bagley and his men indulged in hard
practice at the Rye lots and the work
of the different players was very fav
orable. The practice was witnessed
by a large number of spectators, who
appeared to be very well satisfied with
the work. Toward the latter part of
the week it is expected that a well
known coach from out of town will ar
rive here to assist Captain Bagley in
drilling the men. The Cadets have
made an enviable, record so far this
year and they intend to augment it by
a decisive victory over the rack mili
tary eleven from New York, which
come3 here with a record which few
teams in the country have equalled
this season. The game will be played
at the Driving park on Thanksgiving
afternoon, and - careful arrangements
are being made to handle the large
crowd which will, no doubt, be present.
DIES OF FOOTBALL INJURIES.
Andover, Mass, Nov 19. Charles
Hanabry, a 15-year-old boy, who was
injured i: a football game here ou
Saturday a week ago, died at the
Massachusetts general hospital on Fri
day. The boy had his arm broken in
the game, but did not tell his parents
of the injury until Wednesday, when
a physician was summoned. He was
attacked with blood poisoning and was
removed to the hospital at once by ad
vice of the physicians.

PLAYER'S LEG BROKEN.
Sing Sing, Nov 19, A serious acci
dent to one of the players of the "Poly

day at Sing Sing. In a scrimmage in
the' first half George Dombush, one of
the tackles, sustained a compound
fracture of the right leg just below the

vised stretcher to the train and brought

said that the injured player was in
better condition than he anticipated.
BASKET BALL.

league are rapidly Hearing completion,
and from the present indications the
Auditorium will, na'doubt; t)e tilled by
a vast audience on Thanksgiving even
ing, when' the strong' New Britain
team will line up against the crack
local five. That New Britain is ex
ceedingly anxious to win this game is
attested by their attempt to have
Bruce, the fast center of the Middle
town team, play with them. It is
not known yet whether they will suc
ceed or not in securing him, but the
probability Is that they will.
Seats for this game will go on sale

.New York Nov 19"..Nqw that the
racing season of. l'JUO is -History, we
may glance at the results in a broad
way, and as the world moves along
the patlis of finance and measures suc
cess by the volume" of dollars, it may
not be uninteresting to record that
since April 15 last, 'when the racing
began in this state, until November 15,
when the curtain waa rung down at
Aqueduct, no less a sum than ?1,332,
000 was distributed umong the win
ning owners. This, in round figures,
is $241,000 more than in . 1899, when
the figures, .approximately, were $1,
191,000. This is an increase over 1898
of about $305,000, and over that of 1S07
of about 500,000. Thi3 surely is giant
strides in the pathway of progress, and
attests at once the stability and the in
creasing popularity of the sport. If
we include the Bennings spring meet
ing, with which the season really
opened, there was divided among the
winning owncro approximately $1,305,
000. Statisticians have figured out
that this money was divided among 270
different racing stabk-s, representing
about 5,000 hor-ses and employing di
rectly in the care of these horses at
least 5,000 person?, whose salaries,
with board, ranged from $12,000 for
trainer;!, down tj the :aroiakcrs and
apprentices ct $20 per month, with
board p.nd lodging. The jockeys, of
course, are a separate, item. Tt'is cal
culated that, iu the keep and enro of
the stables, 30 per cent of the prizes
won stays in the vicinity of the meet
ing and is divided among the trades
men of the places for the necessaries
purchased and always purchased at
race track prices.
The stable of James K. Kocne heads
the list of winners. Of the $111,357
to its credit, no less a sum than $41,002
was won by the great Commando, who
was first in five races of his six starts,
and finished second in the sensational
Matron Stakes, which he loft bv a fluke
to Beau Gallant. In the sanie stable
Tommy Atkins won $14,750, and Fe
truchio, mainly by his victory in the
Brooklyn Derby, $0,175. Victor, who
won nine races, was twice second and
once third out of thirteen starts, gath
ered in 10,130. Conroy won in excess
Of $S,000 and Cap and Bells earned
S 1.400.
William C. Whitney is second on the
list, with $02,543 to his credit a most
commendable showing. Of this Bally
hoo Bey. the Futurity winner, is cred
ited with S37.00O, anil Trince Charles,
now in England, with $13,815. while
Killashandra. whose death at New
market a weekgo was renorted. won
$9,905. ElkhorlP won $5,375 and Kil
marnock, larerely bv his vietorv in the
Withers, contributed $i,970, Mr Whit
ney, in all, started twenty-six different
horses, so that his average is high.
Beau Gallant, while lie raced ill Sam
Hildreth's colors, won $25,115. the ma
jor portion, of which came from the
Matron, and he ranks next, in the
amount of money won. to Commando
and Ballyhoo Bey, although he is close
ly pressed by Bonnitiert, whose early
stakes won him a high place. He
credits the Messrs Fleischmann with
$24,987.
Of the older horses in training Eth
elbert holds the first position with $33.
020 earner last season, with Kinley
Mack closely pressing him with $25.
475. and Imp third with $18,125. In
Ethelbert's case it is interesting to note
than in 1890 he duplicated exactly his
performances of 1899. winning eight
times, being second four times, third
once and unplaced once. Kinley Mack
was five times first, twice second, third
ence and unplaced, once: and Imp was
eight times first, three times second,
nine times third and four times un
placed. Jack Point, largely because of
Ids victory in the Brighton Handicap,
earned $17,400. .
Among the 3-year-olds three of the
first four owe their prominence in the
winning list to single victories. David
Carried heads the lot with $23,700.of
which $20,000 came to him from the
Annual Champion, when, by a series
of fortuitous circumstances, lie de
feated Etlielbert. Prince of Melbourne
with $21,555, is second, his money be
ing earned in eight races, in which ho
was first five times and second once.
Ildrim conies third with $19,200, main
ly result of the Belmont.' McMeekin
is fourth wKa $12,100 and Petruchio
fifth with $10,175.
Tha' the prizes fell to a largo num
ber of stables is shown by the fact
that only six stables -won more than
$30,000, and that out of the six Etli
elbert, for Perry Belmont, and David
Garriek. for Pierre Lorlllard. are re
sponsible for their, being r.n this li:;t.
Of the $30,090 wou. Iv Mr Belmont
Ethelbert contributed $33,020. and of
the $32,070 won by Pierre I.orillard
David Garriek earned $23,700. the bal
ance being the earnings of the twelve
other horses In the stable.
If we except the stables of Mr Keone
and of Mr Whitney, which were excep
tionally strong In 2-year-olds, the mon
ey was divided well.
