Waterbury Democrat., 1900-11-23
AIeriden here tonight.

Thursday-Hartford at Springfield.
 Meriden comes here; tonight and of course she must be given sound trOuncing. It would llpver do for the Waterbury team to allow Meriden to beat her after defeating the three lead CTS.
 The Hartford writers are wearing the Q" < off their hammers in knock inc ,ung Schofeld. Wodtke's partner .che yOungster has any polo in him they certainly will Knock 1t out at the ate they are travelling.
 spot Hadley. q former Pawtucket and National league player, is now the main guy in the Lawrence aggrega- tion. "Spot'' is playing fast polo and the fans up in the Massachusetts city are pleased with tine appointment.
 ''Hurly Burly". Dick, Furbish and Long John" Wiley aFa out with a manifesto. Tn brief it is Look out for us; we're after the flag The 1 other players in the league had better either take to the woods or lay in q 1 stock of football togs.
 Hartford will begin to think after l q few more defeats that she made q | mistake in releasing Johnny Griffin. As at present constituted the Hartford | team does not look like pennant winner and perhaps no one realizes | that fact more than does Tom COtter 1 himself.
 Why does not someone on the inside | give out the real facts on the attend ance in the Maine league? In Massa- chusetts the attendanGt seems to be 1 given out correctly } 1t the reports from Maine are so diff rent that it does look as if the padding clerk was kept very busy.
 Some of the Hartford writers are after Tom Reilly over in Merfden and | want the franchise taken away from him and transferred to New Britain or some other place. Manager Reilly will make good before the season is very far advanced and perhaps Hart ford may find some of the money she is now giving up to Meriden.
 It should not be a difficult feat for the Meriden management to secure one or two first class players from the | Maine league circuit to accept berths in the major league circuit. Eddie Menard is with Lewiston, but the ex- Kangaroo is said to be anxious to re- turn to the fold provided suitable terms were offered.-Hartford Post.
 A report coming from New Haven intimates that the game between New l Haven and Waterbury the other night was not on the level. Of all the non sensical reports that were ever sent out that is entitled to the first prize. Just ask any one of the New Haven players about that game and about the condition of the team after the l battle was over. Each man on the both teams was about pumped out when the last bell sounded.
 There should be big crowd of fans on hand tonight when the Meriden | fpo m .oJnnC Frank Warpa1. i'll be along with the visitors and it will soon be discovered whether Water bury lost anything of value when he did not sign here. Perhaps it was just as well that he did not come to Wa terbury for, good fellow though he is, he might not meet with a warm recep- tion after delaying so long in getting into the game. At any rate the Wa terbury players will try to make it interesting for the AIeriden aggrega- tina.
 Speaking of the game between Paw tucket and East Weymouth. Wednes- day night. the Pawtucket Times con { tributes the following: The mainstay of the visiting aggregation was in the circle. where Sutton kicked them out in a style that would have made some of the stars of the game look like coun. terfeits. The Tigers put the sphere DeilnQ Hlul to stay d uoIeH times. but ! his remarkable work saved the Easl i Weymouth forces from an overwhelm ing defeat. Riley, Meriden young. ster, was with Rooney in the rush line 4 He is a "ringer'' for Wodtke. Hart. ford's Plying Dutchmans' except in one thing-a most essential feature that of playing the game. He was I fast enough and could hit them hard but he was in the habit of missing passes and consequently lost several good chances to get the sphere up tc l John Smith.
