Relative to the purchase of the Hartford baseball team, the Hartford Courant has the following to say this morning:
 William J. Tracy, owner, and John l.. Kennedy, manager of the Hartford baseball team. yesterday announced the makeup of the team for l9Uj. That it is superior to any team that ever represented club in the Connecticut Baseball league will be seen by d glance at the men signed, as follows:

 MT Tracy has received several offers for tue team and franchise, but he has decided 10 stick as he thinks a first class team will be well supported.
 That Hartford is regarded as val uable city for q team is shown by the number of offers that have been made for the franchise. Joe Connor, the Springfield catcher, who has been drafted by Newark. is one of the lat est prospective buyers of the Hartford franchise. MT Tracy received lette: yesterday from Connor. who wanted 10 know if he could purchase the club. No figures were mentioned.

 William T.. .Aufort. who for q mum. Der of years has been Jimmie Cana vans right hand man and who has been the business manager of the New Haven team. would also like to have the Hartford franchise. He wrote for terms and it is understood that he rep. resented outside parties. Philip F. Hendick. the well known sporting man of Taftville. made an offer for the team some time ago. He was at the Charter Oak park races last fall and it is, possible tbat he made thco -cffcr' after spending an evening with the state treasurer of Kentucky. who was in Hartford at the time.

CORBETT GIVES ADVICE,

Somebody asked James J. Corbett what chance he thought Wrestler Frank Gotch would have in fight with Jetfrias. 'No chance on earth" was the quick reply. Wrestling and boxing are vastly different. You see a mans right arm is the most import ant part of his fighting makeup. His right shoulder must be as Timber as possible. so that he can use it from any position. The right shoulder of q wrestler is hard and stiff. He trains 10 make his shoulder strong. while a boxer does all he can to get the mus clos flexible. so that he can have. q free movement of the arm.

 IN THE WEST
Young Sutton of This City
 Still Doing Good Work
 All the Old Favorites are In The Game.

The many enthusiasts who were wont to shout themselves hoarse over the game of polo when it was in its element in this city and state will no doubt be interested in the work being done in the west by many of the old players who were the pride of Water bury and other cities This is partic- ularly true of young Sut1se, of this city, who seems to be not only hold ing his own with the older men ill the game but is giving the majority oi them cards and spades and a good beating. The following account Of the games played Saturday night ias, is taken from the News-1ribune Of Marion. Indiana Here is how tbey speak of the gams im the west:
 ''The Fort Wayne polo team, to. setber with Arlie Latham, who pos scsses tue title of referee, defeated Marion at the local rink Saturday night by a score of to I. Latham s work was the worst ever seen here. It would have been q hard matter for the Foxy Five to have defeated Fort Wayne and the official combined Re. gardless of this fact, it was a good ex- hibition of the game and the fans got the worth of their money. As in the preceding contests the boys played in tough luck and lost
 "1zzy Whipple, late of Fort Wayne, Marion's new utility player. made his debut in the secopd period Saturday night and his lsaying pleased the crowd. Whipplc is a good man and he will add much strength to the taam
 The two teams were evenly match cd and until the game was half over Marion had a fair chance to win. The first goal was made by Lewis in elev- en minutes and seven seconds.
 "At the end of the first period each side had made goal and the contest proved to be an exciting one. Tn the second period, however, the visitors scored three times. while Marion made but one. and all hope for q vie tory soon faded away.
 ''1n the last period rough tactics were practiced by both teams. Team work was forgotten. McGilyray scored twice and for brief time the fans felt that there was at least a slim chance for Marion to tic the score. The defense of the visitors was per feet, however. and Marion failed to make another score.
 "Doherty and McGilvrav were the stars for Marion. Doherty at center had hold of the ball much of the time McGilvray made three of the four goals given to Marion.
 The playing of Sutton. the Fort Wayne goal tender. was one of tho features of the game. Sutton played remarkable game. Many of the stops made by him were sensational His work saved the game for Fort Wayne. The Marion rushers drove accurately. n-5.n aule '4I 'N"" ~"""
 Back to the referee. He called two fouls on Marion. but failed to sec about a dozen made by the visitors. Finally, when he was hissed by the crowd, he decided that he had better adopt different policy. and as a re- suit two fouls were called on Me. Grath. Lineup:
 Marion. Fort Wayne.
