WESTERN AND CENTRAL
 CLUBS TO BE STRONGEST

There is no longer any possibility that the proposed National Roller Polo league will become a reality, and the Western and Central leagues, which include Indiana and Illinois cities, will be left supreme, as far as the middle west is concerned. This means that the best polo talent of the country win go to that section of the country, as interest in the game has Jagged in the east, and the good salaries offered there have suf6ced to send the cream of the talent to Indiana.
 The National league, which was protected by Frank Bancroft, business manager of the Cincinnati base ball club, and other men prominent in the sporting world, was to include num- Der of the large Ohio cities-Dayton. Toledo. Columbus. Springfield and Cleveland-with perhaps Richmond and Indianapolis, in Indiana.
 For time it looked as if the plan would be a go, but it is now too late to make all the arrangements before time for the season to open. It would require a great deal of work to equip a rink ill each city and make all the other preparations, sign strong team and get into position for play. The na- tional league planned to get the best talent available.

GREATER WATERBURY STA
AMATEUR NOTES

What a pretty race in the Greater Waterbury league. The little fellows are putting their older brethren to shame by the game they are putting up.
 There is no winner yet in sight in the City Amateur league any any one of the first four teams can win out It all depends on the defeat of the two leaders.
 The two Lawlors, Pete and Tommy, are dangerous chaps to face a pitcher in my emergency. They can hit the ball like fiends when they go out for game.
 Slocum, the Hills pitcher, was in great form yesterday, both in the box and at the bat. He hit the ball good and hard and once sent it way over the track for a two-bagger.
 How many runs did you make, Joe?' asked a spectator of Captain Joe Kelly of the Pastimes. q thought we made about 1O0,'' said Joe, tbut l guess we only scored twenty-four!'
 George Byrnes, the AIerrimacs' pitcher who has done such good work for his team this season. had a baG day yesterday He couldn't find the plate and passed and hit more men than he did in all the games he pitched in the past season.
 Camp was easily the shining star ot yesterdays game. He hit the ball hard; he let the ball hit him; he ran the bases like racer and made the prettiest play of the season when he stole home while Dwyer was throw ing the ball to Kelly, the pitcher.
 Although little late, the St Josephs are beginning to get into form. They will cut a big figure in the race for the pennant. Both the Brooklyns and the Mer1imacs have to play one more game with them and loss to eithel of them will kill their chances for the cup.
 Bill Riley unipired, and although his 1 position was made dangerous at times gave general satisfaction by his de cisions. He is a good and capable unl- pire and is the best man in that ca pacity that the league has ever haG. He has no favorites and gives his (le- cisions according as to what he thinks is right. And another thing-he ought not to be abused.

SWInnlNG THE CHANNEL. Plucky Attempt of Rolbein is Fail-
 ure.

Dover. Aug 22.-Montague Holbein and J. Haggerty, representing two London newspapers, started Saturday in an attempt to swim the English channel
 Holbein began his swim at 4:35 D. m., starting from Lydden Spout, two miles west Of Dover. He refused to dive from the Admiralty pier, as he wihed to swim from shore to shore. Haggerty started from the Admiralty pier at 6 o'clock.
 At 8:30 p. n. Holbein was six miles out, beating his own record. At that time he was going strong. There was no wind, the water was calm and the tides favorable He hoped to cross the channel in nineteen hours.
 An hour after the start Haggerty suffered from the cold, but refused to give up the contest and spurned life buoy which was thrown to him. Sud- denly he was seized with cramp and was only able to use his hands. He was plainly sinking when a friend in the boat hooked him around the neck with a stick. Haggerty struggled to continue the contest, saying, If can- not 20 further I will go under" Eventually he was hauled aboard the boat.
 At 1 o'clock HoIbein was half way across the channel and swimming splendidly.
 After ten hours of the pluckiest en, deavor Holbein gave up his struggle, eight and one-half miles from Gris Nez, France.
 The temperature of the water was but 61 degrees, and the cold produced intestinal catarrh. Holbein was sick all night. swallowing more water than ever before. He will make a deter mined attempt to swim the channel again within a fortnight.
 The stranger who entered the water Immediately after Holbein Saturday was Burgesse, the French champion, who swan four and one-half hours. He will attempt to swim the channel in 1905.
 Gnosley, who entered the water yesterday morning, quilted promptly on finding the water too cold.

league games, although printing those of all others. The truth of the, matter is that our teams, as rule, are much better drawers than those of the New England circuit, of which Tim Mur- nane of the Boston Globe is president Hartford Courant.
 The Holyoke Transcript complains of the laxity of the police at their ball grounds in letting so many kids" steal into the games. A contrast is drawn between the want of backbone shown at Holyoke and the business, like methods at Bridgeport where boy would as soon think of stealing the price of admission in cash from merchant as "skinntng" in.
 Everyone is wondering who wih take the Norwich franchise next year. Northampton is spoken of as a towri that would support a winning team something that poor old Worcester couldn't or wouldn't do. Picture the crowds at the Hartford park if we had started the season with Osteen, Dyer. Tighe, Rogers, Murphy, Crolius so much trouble the first part of the year-Hartford Coufant.
 After a scrappy game between New. ark and Buffalo, the Buffalo 'bus was greeted with shower of missiles and one ruffian flung a rock at the team. This angered Pitcher Kissinger, and he leaped into the middle of the crowd, striking right and left. A small riot seemed imminent, until the players qt1ieted the crowd and the Bisons left the field amid a bedlam Of jeers. Newark always was a nice place for a gentlemanly game.

THE DIAMOND.
RESULTS OF GAMES
 PLAYED PAST TWO DAYS

Rain, stopped all games in the Con- necticut league Saturday except those between Bridgeport and Norwich at Bridgeport. Norwich won the first game, as Allen, the Bridgeport pitch CT, was touched up for four hits in the seventh inning. Norwich won out, 4 to 1. Robinson pitched for Norwich. The second game lasted six innings only and Bridgeport won, 2 to o. Nor wich ddd not get hit off Wade. Rob- inson also worked in the second game and Bridgeport got four hits off him ill the second contest. About LIDO people saw the games. New Haven is but four games behind Bridgeport now and the race between the clubs will be an exciting one, with the chances favor1ng Bridgeport. New Haven is poorly supplied with pitchers. Cor coran is the most effective twirler in the New Haven camp. Tuckey, who was. suspended, was getting his bumps very regularly. Mccullough and Wade, the Bridgeport pitchers, outclass the New Haven slab artists The scores: R.H.E Norwich 100 ooO13o o-4 ii , Bridgeport l o o 0 o o 0 o o-1 s 0

TEAM PERMANENT.
Will Not Go to Providence If Sold to
 KilliIea.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug 22.-If Henry J. Killilea and F. c. Cross of Milwau- kee buy the American league fran chise in Washington next year, the team will remain in Washington and not go to Providence.
 This was decided upon at confer ence held here between Ban Johnson and John Taylor of Boston and Killi- lea, who was asked to take the Wash ington franchise. It was a continual ton of the conference begun in Chi cago on Thursday. No decision was reached as to the sale of the club. it was said, but it is generally believed that Killilea and his silent, partner, Gross, will go into the deal. Gross said last night that if they take the club it will surely remain in Wash ington.
