 This is the way Dicky Pierce sets forth the Bills" of the Springfield club: Honest Bill (AuforD; Silent Bill (Curtis); Wild Bill (Whiting; Big Bill (Heffernan)
 Fred Doe still has some hot air left. His latest telegram says he will give you $150, but does not say for how long. Fred has no limit, anyway Thus talks Jimmy Lations in yester- days Register.
 To show their appreciation of their | old manager, the New Ravens present ed Manager Aufort with a travelling bag Thursday evening. After the game
 Manager Aufort rendered the mem-
 berS of both teams q banquet.-Spring- field News.
 An idea of the fast game the Water
 bury team put up against Hartford last night is shown by the record of fifty stops Starkie, Hartfords goal tend, made, and with Barney Doherty in front of the cage, too. Surely Wa terbury must have played like cham pions-Springfield News.
 Waterbury has sig ed Griffin, releas- ed by Hartford and Ae signalized his first appearance witt the team at Wa terbury last night by winning from his old associates "G F'' is an excel lent polo player an will make big improvement in the Waterbury team. Parsons vii play Spring. field News.
 It was apparent from the start that Cotter and his associates were sur prised at the wonderful work of the upriver men. Curtis was like a whirl> wind. and if last nights game can be used as q criterion he will surely equal Cunningham or Hipson before the close of q very few weeks.-Hartford Globe.
 The second week Of the polo season of the National league has about prov en that New Haven. Hartford and Springfield are in a class by themselves with Waterbury, and Meriden hopeless Hartford Globe. And yet one of the tailenders, by name Water bury. gave you the worst beating of the week.
 All kinds of schemes have been de- viSed to secure attendance at, and to attract attention to, the polo games, but Manager Canavan enjoys the dis tinction of being the first to venture into the trading stamp pan. The Red Amusement Voucher company re- deem its stamps by issuing free thea ter tickets. Manager Canavan has had the rink put upon the list of amuse ment places for which tickets will be given in exchange for stamps. It re- quires 150 stamps to secure an admis- sion ticket.-New Haven Register. Harry Starkie in the circle has kept up the good work which made him a big favorite in Waterbury last season, and with q few more games it can be safely said that Hartford will be in the fight for the championship to the sound of the gong next March. It is hoped for the best interests of the game that the Waterbury and Meriden clubs will be strengthened before many more games, but Messrs Parsons and Reilly are two o1G heads at the business and they will undoubtedly bob up serenely before many games with a lineup which will keep the others busy.-Hartford Globe.
 There is to be a noticeable improve ment in the polo balls, Manager Au- fort says. Recently he went to the Victor factory and had q talk with the superintendent of the department which manufactures the balls. He learned that no one had ever taken the trouble to explain what the fault was or to indicate what was wanted When Manager Aufort pointed out the defects, chief of which was the ten dency to turn from a sphere into heXagon, the official said it would be remedied at once. Manager Aufort has tried one of the new balls and pronounces it to be satisfactory Holderness at halfback seems utter ly unable to get into the form which made him a big fayorite in the Brass city in '9S. His principal weakness is in his habit of indulging in blind pass ing and smashing the ball to the four corners of the surface, without pur pose. He has a very bad habit of placing a handicap on his associates by his persistent holding of opposing players. which will cost his team many close games on account of for 1elleu goals. 1n Jean ana FOX, Par sons has two consistent workers, and with Holderness adopting an entire new system of play and Warner in the game the Brass city quintet may be able to shine as a possible pennant winner, but it will take tall hustling on the part of Billy Parsons to bring his men into winning gait-Hartford Globe. This week will tell the tale, and Waterbury may be thought more of when the week is ended.
 The second week of the polo season ends with all the clubs of the various leagues still intact, and with the leagues also in promising condition, if all reports are to be credited. The much tOuted prosecution for the Illegal use of cages has not yet materialized, and it looks as if Jean Jacques had not the courage to carry out the threats he made with such great bombast few weeks since. The turning over of the cage rights to the National league appears to have been a clever ruse to
