Hartford here Monday night. Ohl for week with no defeats. Bridgeport at Springfield tonight. Al Sword has joined the Hartford Elks. New Haven at Hartford tomorrow night.
 Springfield and Bridgeport are again close together.
 Come, Archie, get move on and line 'em as you used to.
 If the Kangaroos do not look out they will end behind Meriden. McPeck is playing better polo this season than he ever did before.
 Oh, for fourth place once more, and the oranks will feel satisfied. McCarthy is the weakest goal tender in the lesgue.-Bridgeport Post. The cranks are still talking about Monday | nights game. It was dandy, no mistake. Other games to morrow night: Bridge port at New Britain and Sprin6eld at Meri- l den.
 Brace up. boys, and give the audience at | the rink tonight an exhibition of good polo playing.
 Cooke gets around on his ankles like ton of coal, but just the same that "ton head" i. great boy. | Lstions "eats" long drives, but he is lite tie slow when they are driven at him from short range.
 No team in the league is practicing, and yet we seem to have just as good polo as ever except in New Haven. | The Springfelds, during their six years l organization, have not lost game of polo on St. Patrick's day nighs.
 If he is, he does not show any weakness about his playing at present, and Meriden cranks seem to be satisfied.
 Roberts and McPeck are always "chas. ing" each other when on the floor, but are firm friends when off the surface.
 One Bridgeport paper says that "Mul' | Smith is tho only Meriden player that puts up any kind of game in Bridgeport. | Howard Smith comes pretty near having the best record of any goal tender this sea. son. Forty-f four stops is great record. l Hallett gets more raps and cracks from polo sticks than any other player in the league, but the old man seems to stand it.
 New Britain has at last played scientific game in their own rink. They probably sur prised themselves as much as they did ths cranks.
 Tho Bridgeport Post seems to think tha Hallett has not got his skating legs yet Keep your eye on the old man and perhaps your opinion will change.
 Those Massachusetts boys are making big break for the pennant and at their pres ent rate they are liable to overtake tho champions before many days.
 Conway would make good rusher if i was not for one thing, his driving. 9Kid' has one good quality which every gooi rusher ought to have, and that is to hustl, | all through game.
 Bridgeport cranks are bowling for tho teau to put up the game at present that they dii during the month of January. Rut they howl in vain, as they will not do it again thi season but they may smother season.
 Valiant, the x-New Haven and Neridel polo player, has been elected treasurer of th' Protective Union of the Hartford and Weth ersdeld Saturday night at Hartford. Valian Is conductor on that line and has been livin( in Hartford for some time.
 Meriden will play in the local rink to night and hot game mad be expected. Thi is the last game the Kids will play here thi to make 1t victory, but if the home tean play as they are capable of playing the gam will be . defeat for the visitors instead of victory.
 The New Haven papers are advising their tean
 to the # that sas may And itself in the soup another polo leagu | spired against the solitary club from Massachu setts The springfelds, however. are capable Q Connecticut. Union.
 That talented young man on the Spring field Union who writes the polo on tha paper evidently has a screw loose, for If h was not wrong somewhere he would neve let his unbalanced mind run as far as that There need be no fear of any teams dropping games to the champions as they are no loved any too much down this way, but tn truth of the matter is that all the crank want to sec Bridgeport win again and ther Is not much doubt but what they will.
