 Swords has been signed by the New Ha- vens. Stamford will be released to-day. The Spring6elds play here tonight. It is pretty safe guess to say the New Ravens will win. See if they don't. To the Editor O fthe JOURNAL AND COURIER: see that Valiant is not satisfied with his treatment here. Ye godsl what does he wanti I will give you some figures to show that he has been treated in first class style. The polo association paid him $1S1 since his injury and ali of his doctor bills. Now he has been of seven weeks, and his salary dur ing that time would have amounted to $196. He thought he was able to play, but the association thought differently, as doc tor was seen and he said 8 person with a broken collar bone could not play roughly. In not playing Valiant the association was only protecting itself, for if he should get hit just right he would be laid up again and it would thereby cost the asso- citation about $200. I also understand that Perry is backcspping the management. Now will say that if anyone ought to feel grate- to the management, he should. When re- leased he was given an extra weeks salary, and last week out of kindness the association gave him $20. I think these facts should be known in order that the public will not be-
 lieve this idle gossip that players are ill., treated. ONE WHO KNOWS. The New Haven Amusement association will hold meeting to-day. It is expected that Manager Hackett will be present. springneld. Meriden went to Springfield last night and
 was defeated in 8 well played game by the
 Springfield team by score of 2 to 4. 
 Hartford Falls to BridgepOrt Hartford met corker in Bridgeport on it's
 visit to the Bridgeport club last night. The Capitol City team went home bearing their defeat of to in much more joyful man. ner than some would under the circum- stances.
 DODDS FEELS CONFIDENT. He is to Back HIS Confidence With More Meney-Dodd's Makes 8 State. ment In Regard to the Alleged Fast Time Made by Dick Phillips. Johnnie Dodd's trainer called at this office l last night to make statement as to the ar-
 ticle in yesterdays Register. This article, signed by Dick Phillips, says: wish to say that in my match with Dodd's on
 but am going to try to lower my own record , for
 feel confident of winning. as this makes my 14sd
 contest and no defeats since 1686 Out of 521 | have been defeated but twelve times.
 Dodds says that in looking through the 1 records he can find no such time as Phillips ! claims he made at Rochester. The Turf, \ Field and Farm has no such record, and they publish the result of all matches. Walton ! has made the best record, which is 16m. 10c. | for five miles, thereby winning the diamond belt offered by the Turf, Field and Farm. Dodd's comes next with a record of 16m. l 171Ss.
 Dodds has competed in 439 races and has I lost only twenty-six. He has won the last ! 17S consecutive races.
 1 Phillips is confident that he will beat Dodds | in the coming race. Dodds is also confident | He will add $25 to the stake money already put up and will deposit the money with the sporting editor of the COURIER. Dodds is 1 training hard and will doubtless be in fine l form when the race comes off,
