RACE FOR POLO PENNANT.
New Haven and Hartford Begin the
 Week Tied.

 New Haven and Hartford Begin the Week Tied. Only two more weeks of polo. Only four more games at Bowling hall.
 Only seven games more in which to
 decide who shall win the pennant.
 New Haven won three out of five
 games last week-a record that will
 surely satisfy the most fastidicious
 crank
 Hartford lost three out of four games
 and start out the week tied with the
 Blues in the race for the pennant.
 Thomas Cotter, manager of the Hart
 ford team, says: we shall win the
 pennant."
 William Aufort, the modest and lln-
 assuming manager of the Blues, says:
 We would like to win the pennant."
 Wonder which will come out on top the Hartford manager who says, We shall" or the New Haven manager who says We would like to?"
 One thing is sure--if Cotter and his 5000 week team mean to capture the pennant of 19O0-19O1 there will have to be marked improvement in the teams playing and a larger record of wins made than has been the case for some time past. The spurt they took against the Blues on Saturday night may be a foretaste of what is to be meted out to- the other teams by the Indians during the coming two weeks. If this is so, then-well, Hartford may yet sec the pennant flying from the front of the Coliseum. But supposing New Haven should keep up their winning gait dur ing the closing games of the season; then what? Well, it would be hard to predict.
 Captain Canavan, Manager Aufort, Bone, Warner, Whipple and Lations are to be congratulated on the work they have exhibited during the past week; and all that New Haven supporters of the team ask now is that they will keep up the good work during the coming two weeks and win the pennant. Win or lose, every one will feel satisfied that they have done their best and will feel satisfied at the result. With the same degree of luck following them that has Hartford throughout the sea- son, the team would now be head and shoulders above them all in the race for the pennant During the season, with the exception of Lations, every member of the team has been laid off by sick ness and when this is considered the nome teams present position is highly honorable one.
 The large crowds which are attend | ng the games are ample proof that the enterprise of Manager Aufort in keep ng together a strong team, no matter | what the cost may be- is highly appre- | ,iated and that general satisfaction | 'eigns all around. Of course there are ranks who would like the team to win | very game, but this is an impossibility, | lnd, again, if such was the case, all in- | crest in the contests would drop.
 New Haven plays just three games his week, two with Waterbury and one with Fall River Here's hoping they nay win all three.
 Tuesday nights game is against Wa erbury and Friday nights game will be ,ith Fall River. This is the last oppor- unity of seeing these teams play this eason and big crowd is assured for ach event.
 Reserved seate were at a premium on friday night, not a ticket being on sale or love or money after S:30, and many sere disappointed. Tospreyent the same ccurrence it would be well for those de- ring seat to secure it during the day t Wells cigar store on Chapel street, nd not wait until the eleventh hour, as yas the case on Friday.
 The schedule for this week, beginning o-night, is as follows:
 Tuesday, at New Haven, Ieriden at Hartford.
 Wednesday-NeW Haven at Water- ury, Meriden at Fall River.
 Thursday-Fall River at Meriden.
 Friday-Fall River at New Haven, { Hartford at Waterbury.
