Waterbury Democrat., 1900-12-20

Manager Parsons was 10th to let Daily go and he would not turn the pop ular little rusher adrift until he SC cured him d position. Daly will play with Salem of the Massachusetts league after Monday night All his friends in this city, and he has made many, wish him well in his new To- cation.
 Ii was funny to see that ball taken down the rink by one of the New Ha- yens last night and suddenly see it scooped away by Griffin, Jean or Hol- derness. There seemed to be sort of magnetism on the hockeys of the Waterbury players last night and the ball went just about where those hockeys intended it should go.
 Meriden has now won in every city except New Haven and it is the only club that has won i'll Hartford. Both of Hartford's home losses were at the hands of Merden.-Iawtucket Times. Seven times did Meriden run up against Waterbury and seven times did Meri- den go down to defeat. We are very much afraid that you don't like Wa terbury.
 Bcb Russell took about all the passes that were handed up to him by Griffin last night and he played q hard game around the cage. It seemed to be the particular delight of HauS- man, who played in Whipple's place. to tag on to Russell. and several times it looked as if there might be a run in. but Russell has q head on him that is pretty level.
 Russell will play with the Portland team of the Maine league tonight. He is to receive S30 and his expenses to play that one game. and he will be back here on Friday night. No doubt there will be much influence brought to bear on Russell to remain in Maine. but be has promised faithfully to re- turn and he says he has never broken q promise yet.
 There sat in the rink last night one 1 of the old time polo crankS, who has not seen many games this season. He l always was T knocker when it came 1 to saying harsh things against Griffin, ] but after the game last night he want ed to take the Waterbury rusher by the hand and apologize for all the bad l things he has said about him. He says | that Griffin has improved 100 per cent and his game of last night could not be beaten by any rusher in this league.
 Hayes is too good player to lose from this league, and it is very proba- blp that he will get a place on one of the other teams, perhaps Waterbury, as there is no doubt that he could out | play Holderness. With Russell and 1 Hayes on the team Waterbury would ba capable of putting up a game that
 would make them all hustle to win.- New Haven Union. Tommy is worth several players like Hayes. Perhaps you could use him yourself. You cer- l tainly need two halfbacES after that beating of last night.
 In the first period last night with
 both teams fresh and strong. LationS
 was kept the busiest of the two goal
 tenders. Nineteen stops were credited
 tO him, while Fox had thirteen. Tn
 the second period both goal tenders
 were about even. Iations having thlr-
 teen and Fox fourteen.s In the third
 period. where the visitors got angry
 and tried to get the goals the Water
 bury cage defender was kept busy. and
 twenty stops was his share, Lations
 had but twelve. But one goal was
 made on Fox in the last two periods.
 and if that isn't great goal tending
 then what is?
 The Springfield polo tea1n will locate
 in Merden. The third and final chap
 ter was reached last night when Man
 ager William Aufort of the Spring . fields, came here and signed an agree ment to bring his team to AIcriden to- day. The negotiations are closed definitely. so the local management eX- poets, and tonight the Springtields.
 now the MeridenS, will play the Hart lords at the Hanover street rink. he < reasons why Mir -AufOrt gave ul ; Springfield. notwithstanqipg that he , had received permission to play the
 games in City hall are that he found
 that the expense would De considerably
 greater, and that the municipal all
 thorities wanted the privilege of nam ing the nights that the games could bt l played. Under that plan Aufort's l team could not play the home games l according to schedule. Finding this $ out he immediately telephoned the Meriden managers and arranged a con : ference which was held here las1 : night. Aufort signed an agreement tC !; bring the team here today. Manager '; Aufort retains q half interest in the 1 team and will be the active manager r -Meriden Record.
