Chances. Stops. Average.

The outlook for polo next season is that several towns now enjoying the sport may be cut off. There have been some frosty disappointments this season-BrOckton Enterprise.
 The National leaguers have played good polo, but outside of the East Weymouths they haven't triumphed materially over their Southeastern brethren Enterprise.

YALE LOSING STARS.

Yale football men are much amazed over the withdrawal of Ralph Bloom CT, the great left tackle. from the uni
 yersity, together with the report that Perry Hale, the giant full back: Al Sharpe. the brilliant half back. and Dick Sheldon, the big guard, have de- cided not to return to the university next fall. As Gordon Brown, the crack left guard. and Coy, the big right end. will graduate in June, it looks as if Captain Coy and the coaches will have many obstacles in turning out another championship eleven There are strong substitutes, left from last fall. however, and the reports from the preparatory schools would seem to indicate that Yhles ln- coming freshman class will fairly bristle with good fooloall material.

GREAT ROOSTER FIGHT.

Charleston, Feb o5.-A state cock ing main was fought in a magistrates court room at Ten Mile Hill, this county, yesterday, and several thous- and dollars changed hands on the re- suit. Sports from Charleston and other cities gathered at the Hill. Fifteen birds were shown for the main and nine events were fought. Aiken Rhett, who handled a celebrated Caro- lima strain, won eight of the nine fights from Congdon, who pitted another breed. There were wagers of $50 on each fight, with $500 on the odd. The bulk of the money was wagered by spectators A Charleston sporting man cleaned up 5000 on the day, and others won in proportion. The hack fights added to the sport md one or two of these lasted for nearly an hour. In the main fights, however, the bat ties were quick and snappy, and Rhett's birds sent the gaffs dying with mortal effect.

regent Koof fRyers hShf fhS uHnaesc of the National Sporting club had the master of ceremonies announce from the ring in stentorian tones: "The Hon Percy Henderson, shining light in things political on the Golden Slope. will in hls capacity as president of this club, purchase hogshead of tar and feathers for the edification of fighters who do not go the route at a sufficiently fast clip to meet his ideas of straight leads and counters" The next day the Hon Percy Henderson resigned the presidency in disgust. It is said that Harry Corbett, a brother to 'Pompadour Jim,' will soon open q big boxing club there. Jim Kennedy is going ahead with his plans, but he has been greatly handicapped by the statement sent out from here that he intended to purify" boxing in Cali fornia as soon as he could get his hands on it.

WRldeck.Rousseau, French Prem1er F. Who Is Making . Fight on
 All Monastic Orders.

Pierre Marie Waldeck-Rousseau,
 whose mighty war on the Roman Cath oic orders of priesthood in France is arousing the keenest interest in Eu- rope, was made premier in 1899 after several years retirement from polit- ical life, which was never very conspic- uous. His government is warmly sup ported by majority of the legislators in it's attempt to dissolve the monastic orders in France The struggle is one of the most remarkable in the rei- gious history of the great unstable re- public. The governments bill, which. it is argued. will drive religious asso- citations from France, is couched in general terms, but the third section. if enforced, would be mortal to the monastic orders which flourish in the republic. It provides (1) that no asso- citation between Frenchmen and for

coRBErr MAKES DEBUT.

James J. .Corbett made his debut on the vaudeville stage yesterday after noon at the performance given by the White Rats at the Academy of Music, New York. It was not his first ap- pearanee on the vaudeville stage, for Saturday night, accompanied by many of his friends. he journeyed to South Norwalk to try his act on the dog. He chose for his debut comparative ly short monologue. This he had ap- parently learned verbatim. and there was every indication that he had studied long and hard to master the most authorltive pronunciations of some of the unusual words which were included in his effort. It was chiefly stories on himself from the time lie met Sullivan to Carson City. He was remarkably free from nervousness. h. deed, he seemed to enjoy the situa- ton, and the few guying remarks that were hurled at him from the gallery he treated either good-naturedly or with disdain.

 Polo Pointers. The state league polo is at an end Tor this season at least. There was 8 meeting of some of the polo man. Rgers yesterday in Hartford and the affairs of the league were discussed. The managers were called together by the secretary for the purpose of fnding out how things were progress ing. Some of the teams were doing fairly well but there were others that were not. Manchester, although lead ing the league and playing good polo Mas not drawing good crowds and there was talk of transferring the team. Waterbury has not taken l1ipd- ly to the state league game and al- though Manager Guest did not at- tend the meeting he notified the sec retary by telephone that he was not doing much business. In fact there was not much encourag cement given out at the meeting that the league would last Manager Guest was will
 
 would have done so had not the Meri- den team collapsed. The members of the Meriden team held a meeting last night in Meriden and listened to the report of their manager who had at tended the meeting in Hartford. When that report was heard the Meri- den team at once disbanded. Man. ages Guest received q telegram from Merideh this morning stating that the e, ,nl,r Gari- den was postponed but there was nothing said about the disbanding of the team. A dispatch from there. however, says that the team has dis banded. When Manager Guest heard this he at once decided to quit the game for the season. He did want to play this week out and would have stood for the expenses sooner than be the first to quit but it only need cd the diSbanding of one team to dis rupt the whole league and Meriden has that honor. Manager Guest was try ing to make arrangements with Fred Jean and Barney Doherty to come here Wednesday night and play with the local team but that is now also de- clared off, and the polo season for Waterbury ends at once. This un- doubtedly will mean the dissolution of the league.
