A telegram received In town this morning from Harvey Parker states that be won two falls and the match from Kaiser at Auburn, X. Y, on Wednesday night. He went to that part of tbe country early In tbe to try out and see wbst he could do New Haven," Jan 26. In a game that started listlessly, but grew more and more exciting as time elapsed, New Haven defeated Waterbury in polo last night at the Qulnniplae rink by the score of 3 to. 2.' After the two or three indifferent spells in the early part of the game, the. con test was red hot and full of spectacu lar incidents New .Haven tried two new men; one was Mullen, at goal, and the oth er, Perkins, who essayed to play rush. Mullen more than made good. In truth, if it had not been for Mullen, the score might have been something like 25 to 3 in favor of Waterbury. But Mullen was on to Mb Job, and put up the best game at goal ever witnessed in this city since the palmy days of polo, several yearB ago. Loxson and Murray, the Water bury rushers, drove the ball repeat edly at the recent" acquisition, but contrary to former games in which either Porter or Dupee was con ' cerned. they found somebody that I knew how to tend goal. - Mullen won the crowd though, when he caught the ball with, his knees on a drive from Holderness, , wiggled out to one side and then opened up, letting the ball drop in back of the goal. Had he not ais- ' played this presence of mind, Water bury would have surely scored, as there were three of the visitors al most on top of the cage. Allen was ! not far behind his rival and stopped magnificently. . Perkins created anything but a fa vorable impression. Whether he had stage fright or didn't like the crowd is still a matter of doubt, but he i hardly ever connected with the ball. Bone soon hauled him out and sent Dews into the game. At first Dews didn't do much bet ter, but he came out of his lethargy in the third per 1 and really played decent ball. .The trouble with Dews and Welch,' particularly the former, seems to be a lack of confidence. i When Dews assimilated a little faith i In himself in the last part of the ;game he displayed the dash be ex I hiblts when backing up Bone. Neith ; er Dews nor Welch, however, follows up his man sufficiently. Welch caged the first goal of the evening after 36 seconds of play. Sev eral minutes passed before the next score was tallied, Waterbury making a spirited attack upon the local team's goal. Loxson finally tallied a goal through the aforementioned carelessness of tbe ball. No more goals were recorded until the third period when the playing became wildly exciting. New Haven was the first to break the tie then existing, Welch tallying the ' goal Waterbury soon duplicated the trick however, and from then on until time was called, it was anybody's game. By a clever piece of passing. Dews and Welch negotiated with the ball directly in front of the visitors' goal several times, and after sending four or five shots at Allen, Dews finally poked the ball by him for the last score of the game. Loxson was formed to retire from the game through his attempting to rough It with Bert Warner. Umpire Rorty was just a bit shy in Imposing penalties. Three fouls were called, two on Waterbury and one on New Haven. The line-up and summary: New Haven. Waterbury. Welch, Dews Murray . First Rush. . . Perkins, Welch .... Loxson, Landls Second Rush.

Shar- of considerable Interest to the sport key, who retired some time ago, but ; loving public of this city as well as who is in pretty fair physical trim at ; to the managers of the league, who all times, smfled broadly as bo . re-1 would rather see the teams bunched piled: closely together geographically than "They are a poor lot. If I couldn t to have the Norwich and New Lon- beat any of them now, 'with two joon teams so far away from the oth- months of training, I would be will ing to take a jump off tbe end of a dock. Mind you, I do not mean by this that I will ever fight again, for I believe I have seen my best days. But I have so little regard for Jack O'Brien, Tommy Burns, Jack John son,' Kaufmann and the other big fellows who are called real heavy weights that I know I could beat any of them even now. When I read of Burns tackling Jeffries it makes me laugh. Why, if Jeffries ever fights again you can bet that he' will be fit, in which case a man of Burns's cali ber would not last half a dozen rounds, provided, of course, the little fellow stood up and took his medi cine. . "For that matter, do not be at all surprised if O'Brien beats Burns the next time they meet, for the reason ers. The matter has been quietly talked j up among the various league mag nates ana an enori is oemg maue w locate the two teams mentioned in this city and New Britain. It Is be lieved that New Britain is ripe for the game If a field can be secured nearer the center of the city than White Oak park. A league manager in talking about the situation said that he would do all he could to effect a transfer and have both teams located in the larger cities. . Norwich and New London are mighty poor investments for the owners of teams in other cities, and very rarely do they make enough to pay the expenses of the trips. It is thought that the interest In' Norwich is less strong now since the departure of Jack Tlghe and that THE PRESENT TROUSERS c 1.1 A.

He gave me a lerriQie beating when we met at Coney Island some years ago, yet I fully believe that the worst I was entitled to was a draw. At that I put up the best fight of my career on that' occasion, yet I found that the big fellow was a giant in strengtn as weu as a wizara in ring generalship and science. I would like to bet that Jeffries, if such a contest could be arranged, would put both O'Brien and Burns away in the same ring in one evening, mey would be pie for him." HENRY LAID DOWN. Tjmenster.

As far as New London is concerned it is believed that the Whalers will put up a fight to retain the franchise, although if Norwich is taken away there will be less local interest, as the chief battles of the season for them occur between the two teams. A subscription list will be started here right away and an endeavor made to secure the Norwich fran chise and the players that are still left, although the team has been greatly depreciated since the middle of last season. Some influential citi zens of New Britain are interested in the proposition to make New Britain and Meriden rivals In the game, and It is likely that something will be done at that end immediately.

It Is now time for them to turn to the secretary once more and ask him where are tbe averages of the play ers. Dews, whom the New Haven pa pers so love to knock, won the game for his team last a'ght after the New Haven management had taken out a rusher who had come down from Mafcaachusetta. Secretary Peet advises the use of masks and say goal tenders should be enforced to wear them. There are many goal tenders that do not want to wear a saask. They claim It ob structs their vision.

Another play er of last year's list has been put on tbe ex-redlegiist. Johnny Deal has gone back to the minors. Lancaster, the place from which he was secured, gets the Reds' clever first baseman, and Johnny Gabzel now has the in Itlal sack all to himself. The sale of Deal to the Lancaster team took place severa days ago and yesterday It was learned that he is entirely satisfied to go back to the Trl-State. Deal's work in Cincinnati was peculiar. For the first two weeks he aDneared to be a world beater. On the field he is easily the equal of Fred Tenney. His fielding Is not only accurate but spectacular In the ex treme, and he gets everything that comes within twenty feet of him. He Is far the most sensational field ing first baseman that the Reds have nad for many a moon, but his batting is wnat cost him his Job in the tin cinnatl uniform. SALE TALK AGAIN.

Figures Machine Exploded, Hnrl InaT Famous Chauffeur Fnllr Twenty Feet la the Atr. DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Jan. 26. Tremendous excitement was caused at the auto tournament on the sands here by an accident to Fred Marriott, the daring driver who holds the world's auto record for a mile. Marriott had already made two un successful attempts to lower his own figures and was on his third trial when his Stanley steam car, locally known as The Bug, from its likeness to an enormous Insect, was wrecked with terrific results, hulling Marriott twenty feet Into the air and running into the surf. Fragments of the car were scattered in every direction, and Marriott nun self, cut and bleeding, fell upon we sand unconscious. The great crowd, realizing from distance that some terrible accident hud happened, was thrown Into a fren sy of excitement, and A. B. Stanley, the owner and designer or ine Bug, lumping Into a large car, and Captain Button, In his own fast Koiis-iwyce, sped up the beach at high speed. Dr. Btiuson of Jacksonville, Jumping Into McLaughlin's Cleveland, rushed after the two leading cars and reached the scene Just as Marriott, his face covered with blood and both his arms rrigni- fully scalded, was being lifted Into the Rolls-Royce car. Stanley, the owner of the car, said later, "Marriott Is very badly hurt" Tbe Stanley steamer is a wreck and looks as though It bad been through a railroad collision. The accident occur red as the car was making Its third trial for the mile record. The machine rolled over and over after it skidded and Jammed Marriott fearfully. He regained consciousness during an ex amination by physicians, who report that he has sustained several fractured ribs, but unless Internal Injuries are present he will recover. His right eye is badly Injured, and he cannot see with that optic at all. Frank Croker, a son of Rlchsrd Cro ker, the former lesder of Tammany Hall, was killed In a similar accident two years ago. The beach was in excellent condition for tbe racing. The first event was a six mile race between two thirty horsepower Cleve land runabouts driven by R. M. Bund and J. Loughllu. The latter won In 635 3 5. A special race at twelve miles wss the second event, and In this Captain Hatton In the Rolls-Royce won by about a minute from Dr. Min- son. driving a Franklin. The winuer'a time was 13:12 3-5. In the third event William Ray of Brooklyn made a new mile record on a two cylinder motor cycle, covering tbe distance in 44 2-5 seconds. Fred Mar riott. In the Stanley steamer, before tbe accident made a trial to beat his rec ord of 024 I'n but only made It In 032 4-5, a disappointing performance. considering tbe fine condition of the beach.
