Waterbury Democrat., 1901-01-16
wednesday-New Haven at Water.

! l bury.
 We have two teams to get square with this week and we wilf do it. Hartford and New Haven have used l all kinds Of rough tactics to throw | down the Waterbury team and to- | night one of the teams will be paid ! off with interest. G ] Our chance to take the lead again 1 this week depends on New Britain to- morrow night. Should the New Ha- l yens meet with warm reception in 1 that city, then we will take good care i that our home games are placed in | the winning column.
 New Britain opened it's season in | the National league on Saturday night i before 900 people, and the team made
 hit with the people by defeating the crack Waterbury team. This team
 contains players whom. it was hoped, would be seen in this league in the | near future.-Brockton Times. Even should we win to-night's game | New Haven will still lead us by seven 1 points. We have two more games this 1 week and as both are played at home 1 we expect to win both. We will take l the first one tonight when we run up agaiAst that New Haven crowd, who i never were known to be rough or un- kind.
 Practically there was no city court today. There were two cases, but they were settled out of court. The first was Edward Sheehy, charged with making a false statement. He hired team from Liveryman c. A. Sackett under misrepresentation John Bonnet. for being cruel to horse, settled for $5.
 When the Waterbury rooters go down to the auditorium tonight they will be treated to a great game of polo. New Haven has thrown it into Waterbury at every opportunity and they have been used pretty rough down in the Elm city. The local play CTS remember those things and they will not forget them tonight when they. come together.
 - Nine hundred in New Britain, over 1 GOO in Hartford and 1900 in New Haven at the games this week. and to- night Waterbury will do her share and the POO mark will surely be passed. How does that strike you. fellows, up in Maine and in Massachusetts? Polo is dead in this league, is it? Well, the officials in Boston can have an- other think and draw few more weeks salary.
 It is said that Jimmy Canavan draws $50 a week and George Bone S1:I :l week. and if, this is so these two players should cut about $25 a week off and help the New Haven team along. Democrat. George Bone says that it might be news to the Democrat to learn that both 1e and Captain Canavan gave up se3 per week of their salaries two or three weeks ago.-New Haven Register. Good for them.
 Isn't it q funny thing to be told that Waterbury is responsible for the fouls made by the other teams in the league. and yet that is the case as far as New Haven and Hartford are concerned. Up in Hartford they call Tom Cotter a '.cherub' because he tried to break Jeans back across the railing. They call Waterbury all sorts of names. but although Hartford and New Haven de- liberately foul and punch the Water bury players they are considered an- gels. The poor little things ought to have glass cases in which they could be exhibited.
 Harrington, Raymond and A1atty Doyle, who accompanied Castle down to New Haven the other night, tell some funny tales about the hustling butcher, and they claim they are as true as gospel When they arrived ill New Haven they entered q restaurant and among the orders was one by Cas- tie for q plate of sausages. When they were brought on the jolly seller of meat said that he never saw such sausage in his life and he claimed that there were none like them sold in Wa terbury. All the boys joked him about having to come to New Haven to get good SauSar{ naturally inc man from South Nreet was indignant and abashed that he had put his foot in it. Aney ran across John ny Dillon,, the popular wholesaler, and the New Havener who is always look ing for business. shouted to the Castle chap, at the same time holding up his four fingers and thumb, Five" he said, and Castle, thinking he meant $5 on the game, answered back: "Sure. five goes" Dillon wasn't thinking of betting on the game, but was selling eggs about that time, and what was the surprise of the butcher to receive five cases of eggs yesterday, and he now has eggs to hatch.
 The New Haven Register says polo is dead in Connecticut outside of Wa terbrry.
 It would not be surprising if the four Connecticut teams found places ID Massachusetts next -week-New Haven Register.
 If the Brockton Times. writer who enormously credits the above items to the Register would keep tabs little sharper upon his clippings, he would confertia favor. The Register never gave space to the statements quoted. New Haven Register.
 HARVARD WILL NOT ROW.
