THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

Referee Donnelly of the Connecticut polo league has resigned and tomorrow goes to Washington to join the base ball team representing that city. He is cap tain of the Washingtons and takes the team on trip through the south, begin ming March l. As far as can be learned there will be no referee appointed to fill Donnelly's place. The polo season is draw ing to close and it is thought that Kelly and Daniels can take care of the remaining games without difficulty. They would un- doubtedly be willing to work every even- ing for the remainder of the season at $5 per game.
 The St. Louis club is said to be trying to make deal for pitcher Hughes, of the Brooklyn club.
 Here is a team from the National league that would be hard to beat:-Keefe and Clarkson, pitchers; Ewing and Bennett, catchers; Connor, Dunlap and Denny on the bases: Ward, short stop; Thompson, Johnson and Herman in the outfeld. For the above team MT Murphy figures out a batting average of 347: fielding average is 917, and a record of 339 stolen bases.
 Hoggins, who was with the Waterburys 2 while last season is trying to organize a Texas state league.
 Ed Daily says his arm is all right again and that he will pitch good ball for the Washingtons next season.

THEY JOIN WATERBURY.

Many Towns Appeal From Orders of the
 Railroad Commissioners.
 Many towns are joining hands with Wa terbury in appealing from the orders of the railroad commissioners concerning grade crossings. Many of the towns along the line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and branches are dissat- isfed with recent decisions Fairfield, Norwalk, Branford and Westbrook have already taken appeals and number of other towns are prepared to follow their example. Guilford will resist bridging the Shore Line tracks at the depot crossing, Madison refuses to submit to any assess ment for similar purposes, and Clinton and Saybrook will be permanently injured by bridges, necessitating the erection of large and unsightly embankments.
 Some of the most active of the opponents say that in all probability the next legisla- ture will pass law compelling the rail road company to pay for all such improve ments and abridging the powers of the commissioners.

THE M. AND w. INJUNCTION.
The Hearing To-day Before Judge Brat
 street in the District Court.

The Hearing To-day Before Judge Brad
 street in the District Court.
 Judge Bradstreet in the district court this morning gave hearing on the injunc- tion against the Meriden and Waterbury railroad from constructing their railroad through a piece of land on River street and Mad river, claimed to be the property of Dennis Kilduff, who prayed out the in junction last week. Attorney Thomas Donahue and John O'Neil appeared for the plaintiff, and General s. w. Kellogg and Attorney John P. Kellogg appeared for the railroad company. General Kellogg said that the defendants should ask for a modification of the injunction so that the company would not be impeded in it's work of construction on it's land. It was willing, he said, to pay MT Kilduff for any land that belonged to him.
 The point at issue is as to the ownership of the land. MT Kilduff claims to own the entire strip, and the railroad company says he owns only portion of it.
 City Clerk E. G. Kilduff, being called, read from transcriptions of the town rec ords the deeds from 1S4O down to the time the property in question passed into the possession of his father, Dennis Kilduff. In 1864 his father put up six buildings on the land. There was a barn on the prop erty along the river until four years ago when that and other sheds were removed. He said the old American mills dam was constructed of logs. He said his father sold the American mills company a piece of this land at the time they replaced the wooden dam by one of stone. He said his father owned 300 feet front on River street.
 The first deed is warranty deed and those that follow are quit claim deeds.
 Dennis Kilduf said that he owned this property through which the railroad con- pany intended to run.

BEATS BRIDGEPORT. The Home Team Open the Week With
 a Victory.


 The people who went to the rink last night saw thel Waterburys toy with the Bridge ports in manner that was distressing to Manager Harris. At the start Waterbury played very hard and did some excellent work but towards the last they played of and kept the Bridgeports chasing the ball from one end of the rink to the other. For Waterbury Williams took every rush and Conway and Shea played good polo Menard made one of the finest playes ever seen here. Williams knocked the ball down the rink on the fly, and as it was going over Rridgeport's cage Menard picked it on the side and guided it into the cage The great Pierce did not play fol Bridgeport. He hurt his hip in Merider Saturday and was laid off. Parsons played a good game but the rest of the team was very weak John smith wants to play goa and rush at the same time. He carried the ball down to the center once last night anc would have kept right on if Shea had no taken the ball away from him. The score

KING MALIEroA's VICTORY.
Tamasese's Men Chased into the Sea
Zoo ssmoans Killed.

SAN FRANcIsco, Sept. 29.-The
steamer Zealandia, which arrived
from Sydney and Auckland to-day
brings additional information OF the
recent fight at Samoa between the
forces of TamaSese on the one hand
and of Malietoa, the deposed king, on
on the other, in which Tamasese's
men we're defeated. The correspond
ent writes from Apia that the battle
ground was in and around that city,
aud that several weeks before the
fighting commenced Tamasese's forces
had built forts and formidable in
trenehments. which were manned by
over 1000 men. September i2 Malie-
toa s forces charged upon these works,
and in less than two hours Tamasese
and his followers had been driven into
the sea, where they took refuge upon
the reefs andfinally got away III boats.
During the fight Capt. Sisset, an
Englishman living at Matuala, near
Apia, was shot and killed. He was
not engaged in the battle at all. The
shooting Is believed TO have been aeci-
dental.
The largest fort was at Matafagitilo,

sent word to ths foreign consuls, ask
ing ii they desired to leave for the
neutral territory established for their
safety. The British and United States
consuls we're agreeable 10 this ar
rangement, but il is understood that
the German consul refused 10 have a
neutral territory established.
The correspondent claims that the
reason for this refusal was that fama-
sese and his followers would have been
deprived of the shelter of the guns OF

trail territory was established. Tama-
