A, G. sPALD1NG,
B. B. JOHNSON.

This merely shows that the Spald- iHg-Jo -Johnson-Pow combination is ar- rayed against Freedman, Brush & Co. which means that the trust schemers are being gradually squeezed into a pulp. Spalding has whole lot of cards up his sleeve which he intends to play between now and March 1. If he does not approve of a twelve-club league, which would have frozen the opposition solid, it can be regarded as q sure thing that he has a better scheme. Those who are watching the situation should not lose sight of the fact that D. B. Talcott has a syn dicate of local capitalists who stand ready to buy Freedman out, and that Judge Ferriss and a Cincinnati syndi- cate are ready to purchase the holdings of Brush. Tn Boston Charles Corey and other wealthy sportsmen have as- sured Spalding of their support, while Arthur Irwin, who holds lease on Charles River park, stands ready to turn this inclosure over to anybody who wishes to put new club into the Hub. These facts should come pretty near convincing people that when Spalding says Freedman, Brush, Rob- ison and Soden are out of the baseball political party he comes very close to speaking by the card.

The score was tie at the end of the second half. and the teams played overtime with the above result. The Monitors had an easier time i'll winning from the Eagles by the score of 16-6. The Normans were easy meat for the Business Men, who won as they pleased by the score of 41-1O. The standing of the Y NJ c. A. league is as

BASEBALL NOTES.
Hartford Would Like to See Water bury Dropped From the League.

Od1g &14OPPOo A AOA4A NAA( A@~eAS9 0Ns
 Hartford still persists in trying to make the public believe that Water bury will be the city to be dropped at the next meeting of the Connecticut league and that Bristol will be taken in again. Of course, not all the Hart ford writers believe or write this way, but there are one or two, now that Hartford has been allowed to come in with good company want to run the league to suit themselves. In this they are backed up by Tom Reilly of Meri- den, who has a personal axe to grind and who has been grinding it for some weeks. There is no doubt but that if Hartford and Meriden could drop Wa terbury and take in Bristol it would be done without a moments hesita- tion. Perhaps Meriden has some fears that she will be dropped herself. When was Meriden ever such a good sporting city that she can attempt to force an other city out of the league, that can give her cards and spades on sports and a thrashing at any old kind of game? There will be four certain teams to stick to Waterbury and those four are New Haven, Bridgeport, Springfield and Waterbury It is not at all likely that New London and Norwich will do anything so foolish as to vote to put Waterbury out of the league, and we find when the matter is sifted down that Hartford and Meri- den will be with themselves. and what a lonesome couple they will makei It would pay Hartford and Meriden bet ter if their managers would get to work and sign some players. and not be left at the post when the season opens. Manager Harrington has his team almost complete and he has agents at work all over the circuit get ting the best in the market Water bury will be good paying baseball town this season, and we would like to wager little that Meriden will not be one. two. six in the matter of at tendance and that Hartford will have fo change her present tactics if she expects to get anyone to go see her ball games.

WITH THE POLoISTs.
George Bone Says He will Never
 Play Polo Again.


 "I'll never play another game of polo for any man," said George Bone to q Register reporter recently. The state ment was brought out by a reference to his overtrained condition which is undoubtedly partly responsible for the accident which resulted In breaking his arm at Meriden recently. Dr w.. J. Butler, his physician, advises him that summer of training for baseball followed by the same course of train ing for long season of polo, is in- furious, and as he expects to follow baseball for a livelihood he has defin- itely decided to quit polo
 Notwithstanding this determination Bone has expressed q desire to play just few more games this season to wind up his career. At the time of his injury he had contract with the Portland club of the American league, and he has been hoping that his arm would be so far healed that he could put in. a week or two there at the wind-up of the season. All his friends strongly advised him not to risk fur ther injury, but to give the injured limb full time to heal before the base ball season opens.
 The retirement of Bone means the loss to polo of the best rusher bar none, in the game. His work of the past two seasons has been of the most marvellous order. He is wonderfully speedy, utterly fearless, and aggres- siye to a degree that makes him feared by all goal tenders. He is a hard and accurate driver with either hand, and a juggler that made op Dos ing defense men dizzy. His equal is not found on any floor.
 A benefit game for Bone will be played here during next month. The Portland and Worcester teams will be the opposing teams and will play in the Chapel street rink. The date is to be arranged the night after the Portlands play at Worcester, so as to reduce the travelling expenses. As the schedule is made up from week to week, the date cannot be definitely fixed.-New Haven Register.
 Canavan was obliged to retire from the game on Friday night owing to an injury.
 George Cunningham, the old time rusher, has signified his desire to ger into the game again.
 Jimmy Canayan says that the bulk of the American league players time is taken up in travelling over the cir cult.
 Charlie Fitzgerald has accomplished wonders for Lewiston, as the team has not lost a game since he joined it. Portland Argus.
 Hart, now Of the Lowell team, cut a big figure in the game with Ply mouth Friday night. He caged F of! the IS goals scored by his team.
 With Pierce in the game, the team work is splendid. He is capital guide for the players and is making the out! fit pay faster ball than it did even in. it's palmiest days.-W Worcester Spy.
 Tarrant has supplanted Roberts as rusher at Plymouth It is said that Roberts will go to Lewiston, taking Mercer's place. The latter has not been satisfactory for some time past.
 Farrell is dangerous man when he gets the ball in his possession. It is next to impossible to take it away from him, and he can place 1t where he wishes every time. Fitzgerald has a remarkable propensity for breaking up the opposing teams work. He can also locate the ball Well.-LeWiston Journal.

 DOUBTS FITZ'S DESIRE TO FIGHT
 New York. Jan 20.-Jim Jeffries came to town yesterday morning from Philadelphia and he is not over enthus- iastic as to the outlook for a match with Bob Fitzsimmons. The Californ- ian thinks the Cornishman does not wish to fight him.
 T have done all that n fair person could have done." he said yesterday. T am willing to waive the side bet which has proved such a bane of con tention and 1 was ready to give Fitz a liberal slice of the prize money. As 1 have said he can have 70 per cent of the gate receipts if he wins and 30 per cent if he loses. I thought he would call on me at Philadelphia had articles of agreement covering all these points drawn up for him to sign, but he failed to put in an appearance. If Fitz meant business these induce ments ought to have brought him to time. I am going to Hartford to-mor- row and will be around New York for several weeks yet. If Fitz cares to do business he will find me always ready to treat with him. But be- tween you and me and the lamppost he evidently does not want any of my game"
