 the sooner that they understand that 1t is to their own interest to do gentlemanly work the better 1t will be for them, for tho public will not tolerate dirty, mean work of this kind.
 Polo Poiaters. l
 Springfield tonight.
 It will be great game tonight.
 Newcombe had an off night Saturday. ' Other games tomorrow night: New Brit. tain at Springfield and Hartford at Meriden.
 At the rink Saturday morning the Favor- ites defeated the Hillhouse high school polo team by score of g to 3.
 Little Willie" Leydon, with his new all cut quite dash all day long on tho street in Meriden Saturday.
 < It is quite amusing when you think about It, 10 read of Conway using such men e Cot ter Sealey and Mckay roughly, and being fined for doing such work.
 Saturday nights games resulted as follows: At Hartford, Bridgeport 1, Hartford Q; at Nerideu, Sprin6eld 3, Meriden 6, and at New Britain, Now Haven 5, New Britain 6.
 Connors is not losing any time about fining men right along. He slapped g on McPeck Saturday night, and 1t would have cost "Mack" $5 more if he had not shut up.
 Tomorrow night the local team will jour- ney to Bridgeport and endeavor to show the cranks in the Park City that the Scientists are out for fourth place and they mean to get 1t. A large crowd will probably accompany them and cheer them on to victory.
 It would have been hard indeed to have found more satisfied crowd of polo cranks than those who left the rink in Meriden Sat urdaY night, and well might they be satisfied, for the Kids put up game that they have not equaled before in two years. Dnnning especially did great work and caged all the game started until 1t ended he hustled as he never hustled before and drove the ball like rife shot. Cunningham and Lsydon al- ways passed him the ball and once only did "Cunn" drive and then he caged 1t, but it came ont again. It was great work and the local team will find it hard to pass them.
 There is 6 polo crank in Meriden who brings pair of opera glasses to his aid in watching polo game. He can be seen at every game played in the Meriden rink sit. ting at the lower end of the rink and follow means of his glasses. He was thus busily engaged Saturday night when somehow or other he lost track of the ball and was just going to look up the rink for 1t, when bang went something by his head. He evidently thought someone had thrown dyn- amite cartridge at him or done some thing equally as sensational, and 1t frightened him so that he nearly fell from his high perch, glasses and all. But he re- covered himself sufficiently to look around, and instead of seeing the mangled remains of @ squad of polo fends, which he apparently expected, he saw only a round lump of red rubber known to every crank in polodom as 6 polo ball. Dunning had s'swiped high one" from center and it had landed against the end of the rink about an inch from his head. That's all.
 The Atlantic Athletic Club. Saturday evenings Meriden Journal takes @ strange view of the new athletic club in that city. It says:
 ssThe New Haven JOURNAL AND COURIER this hsd quite lengthy 1s
 etc association, whose object is to give handieaps The puff is an excellent one put ut the sssSc.sf,on So full handicaps last year"
 The Meriden Journal is by far too previous. The new athletic association in that city is distinctly new organization and not an old one. It Is only one week old. It is composd of fifteen young men who had nothing what ever to do with the club referred to by the Meriden Journal and will be run entirely different than the old club It is called the Atlantic Athletic club and from general ap- pearances it bids fair to outdo any other or- ganizstion of it's kind in the state. Ease Rall suits.
 CLEVELAND, O., March 16.-The Cleveland Players, league team will be the first club of the new organization to begin 6 suit against it's deserting players. Yesterday Attorney l.. A. Russell, legal agent of the team, pre- pared papers asking from the Cuyahoga county common pleas court an injunction against Catcher Zimmer and Shortstop Mc- Kean to prevent them from playing with the local League team. The papers will be filsd tomorrow and the cases will be pushed to speedy trial. MT. Russell said that as the two men signed Players league contracts frst they could be legally held.
