New Haven in Springfield tonight.
 New Britain here tomorrow night.
 New Haven plays four games this week.
 Will some team down Bridgeport out of town, pleasea
 Meriden and New Britain are still fighting for last place.
 The teams lack of practice last week hardly did them any good.
 Cooke's work is better at present than 1t has been in some time before.
 New Britain at Bridgeport tonight and Bridgeport at Meriden tomorrow night.
 benefit will be given to the employees of the Gem rink in Bridgeport on Monday night, March 17.
 Once more the polo cranks are deeply agi- tated over another event. John Smith has ' new cheat protector.
 Lstions is tending great game at present. Tom Cotter's drives failed to scare him Sat urday night at Hartford.
 Reed and Phelan played great game in Msriden Saturday night. Stubs thirty five stops tell what kind of c game Msriden put up.
 The woodohoppers will be here Tuesday night and the cranks will be treated to good game of polo. Look out for @ new goal tender.
 Hallett did not sign with Msridsn as he did not wish to be reserved for next season, but he will play of and on with the "Kids" until the season closes.
 The Waterbury team is home again from it's trip to Massachusetts. They played six games and won four of them. A good record to make up there. Canavan is playing a great game for the Springfslds ct present and helps the rushers out considerably by rushing down the rink and passing them the ball.
 The crowds are larger in Bridgeport at present than they have ever been before. The Bridgeport Post thinks that there is no danger of polo dying out in that city. Saturday nights games resulted as fol- lows: At Meriden, New Haven 1, Meriden 2; at New Britain, Bridgeport 3, New Britt ford 6.
 Bridgeport plays but one more game in the local rink, while the home team plays two ous, boys. But you might just as we'll be asked to jump to the moon.
 John Smith has way of leaving the cage and passing the ball in back of it with Con way until their rushers get in position and then "Kid" Conway will go up the rink with the ball and pass it over to either Pierce or Mensrd.
 There was a report that Kelly was going to get through as manager of the Meriden team. He says he will remain with the club until they maintain a better footing than they have at present. He can go back refereeing again if he wishes, so Secretary McDonald has told him.
 One by one the old polo players are coming bank to the ranks. Now that Hallett is once more at work, 1t will be in order for some club to hunt up Dean, who once rushed for Meriden; and then Roland Reward, Crowley and Kean might be induced to again don the rollers.-Bridgeport Post.
 One great feature of the playing of Menard and Pierce is their driving. They don't try to pass the ball up into the cage, but if they think they have any show to get a goal by driving they let the ball go. They get a number of goals in this way and the local rushers would do we'll to try 1t. Kean was never any use and Reward is making more money in Waltham, Mass I, than he could ever get playing polo. Roland was good cover point, but whether he would make 8 success as a center or rusher is not known. Crowley would hardly by a match for any of the present goal tenders.
