DURANT IN SPRINGFIELD. Was There Recently Seeking a Polo
 Franchise for Next Year.

Springfeld March 6.-AttOrney Harold k. Durant. manager of the Waterbury baseball team, is after q roller polo franchise in Springfield for the. next season, and was in this city recently. looking over the field with a view of securing a location for a rink. He found that he is not alone in his desire anent getting a franchise for Springfield. Manager Charlie Ken nely of the Lyman street rink having asked for franchise several weeks ago.
 Mir Durant talked with Mir Ken nedy Monday and stated that he had already signed up three players for next season. The Waterbury man is anxious to get q rink that will pro- vide seating accommodations for 2.G0 spectators. He considered Ly- man street rink too small for his pur- pose even if he could secure It. wiI- liam Aufert has also put in a claim for a franchise in Springfield next season.
 It seems as good as certainty that the city will he on deck with a roller polo team next season. hut the ques- ton of its ownership is likely to he a hard matter to determine. Mir Ken nedy has been working up the project all this winter while managing the Lyman street rink. and as the base hall umpire Is a popular man in Springfieh the public would un- ,IouI,tt-IIy resent any course that uiuri,t fry-sze him out and give others the benefit of his work

transferred the franchise to Pitts burg. This seemed to be the last straw for Grim. and to his wife he said:
 I'm losing my nerve. IL seems funny that after all I went through in the last year that I should lose my nerve now.-
 His wife left the room for a few minutes snd returned to find her hus- hand dying.

POLO WHITES.

FOLO WHlfFD.
 Dropping.
 Save us or we perish.
 New Haven was very eager to mix it up.
 You may knock Dews, but he can play polo just the same.
 Sutton was left unprotected time and again last evening.
 Bill Miller had 'em all guessing last night. That boy can play some.
 Would that the new center and new rusher would land here quickly.
 Although Herb Dews is a Water bury boy one would not have thought 1t last evening while listening to the crowd.
 Whipple made seven of the goals for Hartford last night against his old team mates, the BridgepOrts. That must have made Manager Sim mons grit his teeth a bit.
 MacGilvray will not come into the Eastern league for any price offered, so telegram says. Fancy prices have been offered to other stars and there may be some good results.
 Quite a scrapping affray between Loxson and Dews last evening and yet few minutes later during a delay they were sitting side by side on the floor chatting away as if noth- ing had happened.
 The fast pace told on Jason last night, too, and before the close of the game he was killing time around the local cage. That game was fast and rough enough to suit the most exact ing fan.
 Dickey Pierce and Eddie Menard, rushers; Dumpy Williams, center; Kid Conway, halfback, and John "Pocahontas" Smith, goal What an invincible combination, when the key board was in tune and the players in harmony.
 A former Meriden man, now in business in this city, can give lot of inside history about the crooked deals that knocked out polo in this state in it's haicyon days.-Bridge- port Ielegram. Manager Starkie of Hartford would like to know where Bert Nal lory is keeping himself. Starkie rather counted on Bert for his goal tender during the remainder of this season.
 LoXson and Murray could not work together at all in the early part of the game and the former was giving his partner little advice. He evil dently was somewhat angry at the way things were going.

Polo League Standing.
AMATEUR NOTES.

Foley and Burns were put out of the first game because of mixing 1t up. The former apparently is in- clined to be anything but gentle.
 The Hamilton Parks had hard luck in their game. They outplayed their opponents even when they had only four men on the floor. Larson and Harvey putting up fine game.
 The game between Company G and All Brooklyn should be the second contest on Thursday night instead of the first as scheduled. As it will have much bearing upon the standing there is every reason why the game should be played at S:15.
 Jimmie Noonan of the Second Wards had horseshoes on his feet last evening, and ball did not get by him.
 The Company G team is confident of defeating the Brooklyn quintet on Thursday evening.

HIS DIPLOMACY.
A Good Billiard Story With a Whole
 Lot of Truth.

Harry Laughlin, the billiard ex- pert. told at an exhibition game in Toledo billiard story.
 Once. when I had my own parlor in Columbus" he said. "I was good deal perturbed by the loss of chalk. Chalk disappeared at a tremendous rate and 1 said to my helper:
 Keep an eye on the chalk, Jim. I'm no millionaire
 T know de gents wot pockets the chalk, Mir Laughlin.' Jim said. but they're regular customers. I guess you wouldn't want me to offend 'em, would you?"
 Well, mo- said I; T wouldn't. You might give them a gentle hint though. Use your diplomacy
 Jim, I found out later, used his diplomacy that night. He walked up to one of my best patrons that had just pocketed a piece of chalk, and he said:
 "'You're in the milS business. ain't you, sir?'
 "'yes. why?' the patron asked.
 ".I thought so.' said Jim. from the amount of chalk you carry away. The boss likes enterprise and he told me to tell you that if you wanted a bucket of water now and then you could have one and welcome

POLO
WE WERE
 AGAIN WHIPPED
New Haven Rough Housed Us Out of a Game Bridgeport
 Got a Good Beating.

The fact was clearly demonstrated last evening that the Waterbury team is weak in a few places. We won't at this time say just where the places are, for they will reveal themselves If they have not already done so. It was owing to this weakness that New Haven was able to defeat us last night on our own floor It was one of the toughest contests that the fans have witnessed here in years and to think of it this roughness was start ed by local boy. Dews, who is play ing on the New Haven team. He tried to put the kibosh on Bob Lox- son and locked in not too loving embrace both went to the floor Here Loxson indulged in a few short arm jabs which landed on Dewss face, and Referee Rorty called the count on both. He did not put them out of the game, but called foul on each. This roughness continued all through the three periods and it is wonder some of the players were not injured.
 We were beaten because we were outplayed after the first period. The first session was hot one from be- ginning to end and when the bell rang for the finish of the fifteen min utes not one goal had been scored on either side. The second period waxed even warmer and ended with goal credited to each. In the third period we jumped to the lead before min- ute of play had passed when Murray caged the ball. After that we were helpless, for New Haven caged two and through good defense we were saved several more goals against us. The lineup and summary:
