POLO WORLD DO|NGS.
Waterbury Team Now Complet- ed and Ready For Business.

The Season Will Begin Monday-An the Teams Are Ready for the Fray Hartford Defeated Meriden Last Night in Practice Game-Eddie Menard Will Not Play Polo This Season.
 The Waterbury team is completed and the fans will all be pleased at this news. We had but four players dead sure yesterday and up to noon to-day but Jean Jacques telephoned from Hartford to Manager Guest this noon that he will be home tlifs afternoon and he has with him Dan Daly, the rrsher, and Fox, the goal tender. BoIh are considered corners i'll the polo world and where they are best known they are considered as fast as any men in the league. The team then as ie will represent Waterbury Will De Warner and Daily rushers, Jean center, Holderness halfback and Fox goal. U should make pretty strong co1nol- nation but we will all be able to get line on the men after 1eW uaSS when the season opens.
 Of the five men from whom Jacques has the privilege of picking three, -Aul- len. Daily and Jason are regarded the Lest. Miller and HolderneSS are not slow. however. Daily may be found unable to hold his end up in the DE league
 Parsons vii be 8 valuable man on the outside. He can coach the team and when necessary he can jump into the game and hold his own with the best of them-
 Eddie Menard will not play polo this season. He has a good position down in Bridgeport and he refused odefs from Managers Parsons and Doe.
 The following tales are from the BrocktOn Times:
 The Southeastern league polo mag mates are resting on their laurels ana wondering if any other cars are to De played to worry them. Secretary Sam- uel Upton heard from Mr Minchen Thursday and the wanderer stated that Broadbent is not working as he should. He intimated that he was going to BoS- ton to consult a lawyer i'll regard to Broadbent's action in joining forces with Carroll. He talked as though lie did not like the plan and was going to push his claim. No serious develop ments are anticipated. Salem has se- cured the Mooneys and Heffernan. Ja- son and Wood will make up the bal ancc of the team. This makes q warm quintet which should be an important factor in the coming race.
 Wodtke is being widely sought, but one who has talked with him states that he will not play polo this season He is interested in an automobile and is not listening to any kind of over lures. Rado White was among those who sought for him through an agent but. like the rest. he was refused.
 The Nationals are gunning hard after certain Southeastern league play CTS. Mullens of the PlymOuths was offered a S15 bonus to jump to Hart ford or Waterbury, with a guarantee of S35 a week. He refused. He cast his fortunes with sammy Upton and intends to stay there.
 Cashman. fat and jolly as ever. ar rived in the city Thursday and had all kinds of comedies to tell of his las S9asons experience. His was not al one sweet dream. and less money il genial company seems to be much moro preferable. in his opinion.
 The entire Brock ton team is expected to report to-day, with the exception of Tom Murphy. who will join the team at the opening game in Salem
 The Brockton rink is now ready fol . ] it to-day.
 Fred Doe had a good opportunity tc secure the handling of the Springfield team, but he was not wise so it slipped away from him. Doe ought to be ablt to tell q good thing when he sees it but apparently he doesn' t.-NeW Ha ven Union.
 The Hartford and Meriden poll teams played an exhibition game o polo al Hills Casino. New Britain, las evening. Hartford won. to ). Tn championship season will open in Hart ford Tuesday night.
 The hopes of the polo enthusiast will be gIaddened by the announce ment that Frank Wodtse, the famou Flying Dutchman," will wear a Hart lord uniform for another season q least. For several weeks Wodtke ha refused to come to terms with Man ager COtter, and it was understoo, that the star ruSher had retired iron the game, but late last night he tele graphed MT Cotter that he would ac cept the terms offered and report fo duty tomorrow. The acquisition o the German will make several change in the club and it is very probabl that either Mooney. Schotield, o Griffin will be transferred to Spring
 
 in all probability John Roberts, tn former Waterbury player, would als join the up-river club within q fey days. The decision of Wedtke. MeI ard, Bartlett, and Starkie in comin to terms with the major league ha broken the backbone of Fred Doe opposition forces and the end of tn alleged Maine league is already i sight. Hipson, McGilvray, and Bul gess are still outside the breastworks but they will undoubtedly desert tn Pine Tree state forces before the opeI ing of the National league seasoI With Wodtke on the rush line, tn Hartford quintet looks even stronge than last season, and the prospects c the game in Hartford have been il creased several degrees.-H Hartfor Post.
