THE HOCKEY WIELDERS,
Harry Starkie Tells; About Polo i
 Massachusetts

"Polo as it is played in Massachu setts is a mixture of prize fighting, hockey, push ball and every other thng'' said Harry Starkie yesterday to Hartford Globe reporter. The former Hartford goal tender has been playing with Fall River and Hudson of the Southeastern league since the collapse of the major league circuit. and is now at his home in Hartford for q brief visit.
 ''Why, if the players attempted to- give such an exhibition as they call polo in the Southeastern circuit in Hartford or any other city of the for mer major league. they would be driven off the surface by the crowds. I is simply a parody on the sport. The rinks are on the two by seven plan with few exceptions and the referees are the worst that ever hap pened.
 The crowds are also of different class than those who were interested ill the game in Hartford and other cities of the state. l was surprised when we played our first game i'll Clinton. We had a local referee and he simply did things to us.' and thai accounts for q large number of games lost by the former National league ttdIlS WHICH were tTlnSltTrou 10 Iil0 Bay state. In this game we had the home team beaten to d StandStill and the crowd began to hoot and yell at us; at every opportunity they would reach through the netting and grab our players as they skated by. and they also threw stones and other mis- SlleS on the floor as We attempted to skate along the sides of the rink. 1 recall an instance in this game which will give Hartford people an idea how the partisan feeling runs along the Southeastern circuit.
 Tt was in the second period and we had the score at 3 to o. The referee stood in the usual position and five times he forced Lewis to go back to the cage after blowing his whistle. and of course the Clinton player took the l rush. After playing a few minutes the home team caged the ball and you should have seen that crowd. You
 would have thought that their favor- it's candidate had been elected to the highest office in the land and the most enthusiastic rOOter was the referee | He stood in the center of the floor and
 yelled until his face seemed ready to burst and all the time crying We've got 'em. We've got 'em.' He got so l excited that he forgot to blow his WillSlle and 1OuSHIOn LOOK the rush 1 and caged the ball before any motion had been made by the referee to start | the game. but still he allowed the goal
 to count in spite of Cotter's protests l That Brockton rink I think was about the smallest band box that ever saw where a game was played. I It was like stepping out of dressing; l room into milk wagon. The rink is

NATIONAL ATHLETIC CITR

Manager and Match Maker Harris, of the National Athletic club. may well De proud of the program that he has spent q nnmber of weeks making ont for the boxing carnival to be given at the auditorium March 21. It is the finest-card that has ever been put be- fore sporting circles in the east and is to decide for once and all whether the sport can be made to be sulf-sup- porting.
 With forty-six rounds of boxing. by the cleverest boxers this test ought to be decisive one.
 The star event of the evening will be the twenty-rcund go between Charlie McKeever of Philadelphia and famous Joe Walcott. McKeeyer will be here tomorrow and commence training at the Washington Hill Athletic club. with George Mulligan. the local celebrity. who is to meet Walter Burgo. Walcott will train at Boston, although he won't need much of it for he is in trim all the while.
 In young AIulligan there is certain ly the material for star in the ring. He has already shown up we'll against such men as Walcott and there is a good deal expected of him. He is an earnest conscientious worker, clever, steady and sound. Walter Burgo has a reputation wherever the ring is known.
 Harry Galway. the well-known local lightweight, and Frank Hallett of New Haven. will have another ten round go at 12S pounds
 ..Kid" Lee. the bright young local bantam weight and "Kid'' Brown of TOrrington. will have it at no pounds for six rounds.
 
 Johnnie White will preside at the ring.

"To show that We mean business,' said Mooser. ''I am ready to post a forfeit of S10OO in cash that we will pull off the struggle on the date scheduled. Our offer of SS.O0O for McGovern and Erne still holds good. Somehow McGOvern is not very anxious to face Erne. although the lat ter has informed President Romans that he is willing to fight.

 From Bristol comes the following story:
 Bristol will have a team, this season that will be in the fight~ from the jump.' writes Frank Relsl1nS, the playcr-manager of that club to one or the directors.
 Ut is difficult to fill the places lett vacant by the loss of Sellers and Shef- fer. but I ain confident of gathering together q team which will have the fans with us from the opening game.
 Manager Reisling also writes that ne has secured three promising younsters who have made good records in the west in professional company and they will be sure to make good in the Con necticut league in every department Of the game.
 Of last seasons players Shorty Bren- nan. who was known throughout the circuit as Butler. will be seen in his old position behind the bat. while Oid Reliable Joe Theisen will be stationed on the initial sack. Owens is slated for short, but the auburn-haired boy is still star gazing and refuses to sign q contract.
 Jimmy Cooney, who is at his home in Bridgeport. was mailed a contract. but he has not signed. Harry Moves and Bill Clements are both held on the Worcester reserve list. but it is very probable that both will be allowed to remain in Bristol another season. Ken nedy will gambol in his old position in center, while Reisling will also sta ton himself in the outer garden when he is not officiating on the slab.
 Teddy Sechrist is still in town and he may reconsider his previous desire to play ill the proposed Southern league. although he received very flattering offer from the south. Taken all together the prospects of base ball in Bristol this season were never brighter and with Reisling at the helm the Bellmakers should cut out warm pace from the start.

New Britain sends a base ball story out like this:
 Jerry Denny of Derby, who owns the franchise in the Connecticut State league for that town, is making an eff fort to transfer his club to New Brit ain. and will go there Tuesday to make canvass of tue situation. En- thusiasts of the national game stated Saturday that three New Britain men are willing to subscribe S2OO each for stock, and believed that much more could easily be raised if the effort was made.
 The sudden boom has been caused by the announcement that the old dia- mond at Rentschler's park can be again secured. and q MT Hoffman of New York, who recently acquired the property. says he is willing 10 lay out a first class athletic field at the park if backing is secured for State league club in New Britain.
 Several managers of State league teams are urging that a team be To- cated there and think the circuit will be greatly strengthened by the move. Il is said that three teams in the league are ready to locate ill New Britain if the deal materialiZes. Henry c. Gussman is one of the prime movers in the scheme and he believes that the full amount of cash needed can be raised.

It is quite probable that Joe Began, for three seasons past center fielder for ORourke's Bridgeport team of base ball players. will not return to the
 game this year, as he is now engaged as a travelling salesman for the At water Manufacturing Go, manufactur

 he took out letters of patent upon q

 the rooms of the Monitor -A. C. on

The Difference.

a riot in southern city for the purpose
Of driving the colored element out Of

phis and Nav Orleans the public parks
are ofssn practically moaopohzed by
negroes. IheY come early and stay
la:e, and occupy ths choice benches
and sit nearest the music when the
band plays. 1t is frequently remarked
that they get the most of the benefits
of the PARKS, but the white people
never think of driving them away with
clubs and rocks. But in Indianapolis,
Ind, they DO things differently. Two
