 Boston Herald: It is strange that Hart. ford should be the banner polo city in the country. That city has been unable to sup. port base ball club of large or small caliber yeti nf ono fO 2 fair polo game night after night. Its patron age of the polo game was 50 good as to war rant the purchase of the present team fol ! the very respectable sum of $3, 500, while tht highest salaries known to the polo world | have been paid to the players, the average pay per man being no less than $35 week | New Haven, too, was no good as base bal ' city, and has enabled the directors of tho polo team to declare large dividends. IT | fact, polo has thriven in all the Connecticut \ cities, while the national game could not bt established on paying basis. | Abercrombie, formerly goal tend of the Bridgeports and New Ravens has applied fol
 @ position as substitute referee. Manager Harris of Bridgeport, the story goes, has not treated Perry squarely. He en. | gagged him on two weeks' trial and kept \ him only few days, then summarily releas. ! ing him. Perry played but one game, which was in Hartford, and the papers there spoke well of him. There seems to be little doubt
 that the players prevailed on Manager Harris
 to let Perry go, as he is not one of their class
 Perry is little too stylish for the Bridgeport
 team. Menard suits their taste better. Perry
 is not going to Poughkeepsie. He would
 make good man for some team. He sayt
 the New Haven management treated hin | we'll, but he thinks he didn't have half
 show here, being hired to rush, but only
 playing in that position few times, whe1
 he was put in at center, playing only occa
 sionIy.

 husband will not be on the Washingtoni next season.
 Jimmy Donnelly, formerly manager of ths
 New Haven baseball team, has applied fol the position of umpire in the Central league Washington people do not like. to thinl
 that the other Jimmy Donnelly, who played third base for them last season, is likely tc \ be sold to Columbus of the American associ \ ation. All the Washington correspondents pronounce him as good third baseman as \ there is in the country. His only weakness | is at the bat.
