NEW GOAL TENDER.

Hartford, Feb 4.-Manager Starkie has signed Robert Wermert of Brock ton to tend goal for the Hartford team and he will report in time to take part in tomorrow nights game in this city. Wermert played in the league in Massachusetts and he was also a member of the Danville team of the Western league. Wermert Is said to be a gilt edged performer. Manager Starkie will give his time hereafter to managing the team. He will be on hand at every game and will play himself if necessary.
 Hartford defeated New Haven. z to 5, in Germania hall Saturday night. New Haven was handicapped by the loss of Dews, one of the rush. CTS, as he missed the train. His place was taken by Roland. an anna teur, who played in the preliminary game with the Nutmegs. Hartford was penalized one goal by Referee Rorty because Starkie stopped the ball while he was on the floor in the circle. The new bleachers on the south side of the hall were appre- ciated by the bugs, who turned out to the number of 1000.

WESTERN POLO NOTES

A Youngstown exchange says that Cusick Is playing good goal for the Youngstown team.
 Sharon's lineup includes Jason, Daily. MacGilvary, Wiley. Doherty. and Mallory--a familiar list.
 Bill Miller is playing on the Youngstown team at centre in fine style. Charlie Farrell is playing centre at Erie.
 Kid Houghton is the rush liner and Tobbetts in the goal are perform ing at Niles, o.
 John Roberts with Akron is play ing fast polo. and a western news paper tells of some remarkable goals that he has achieved lately.
 The exhibition put on by Eddie Higgins at sharon. last night was marvellous. They never saw any polo playing like that in Wilson's town. He carried the ball down the floor time after time and twice went by Barney Doherty so fast the sharon halfback never did see him. De- herty is one of the best defence men in the league but he cannot get Higgins.-Youngstown Indicator.

MeCarry Fight. While Suffering From lpju,rri.. and Get. ,.
 Good Praise.

Philadelphia, Feb 4.-Amby Nc Garry, of the Bronx, is looked upon as hero by his followers of the manly art in this town.
 He was scheduled to fight Unk Russell at the National Athletic club Saturday night and responded on time, although he had to hobble ln- to the ring. Last Wednesday Nc Garry fell while roller skating and injured his left knee severely. lie would have been justified in sending an excuse but declared he was afraid he would be misunderstood and be- sides he didn't wish to disappoint the crowd. It was plain to be seen that he was suffering great pain, but he insisted upon going the rounds. The bout was torrid in spots and Russell had the better of it. Nc Garry did the best he could and often kept his opponent back with crash ing swings to the jaw and stomach. Russell, whose activity was un- impaired, was able to stab McGarry with his left and get away with 1t but he had wholesome respect for the McGarry right haymaker which Ifelled Kid Sullivan. McGarry was enthusiastically applauded at the end ,, of the bout for his gameness. It was a sort of Philadelphia against New York carnival and four boxers returned to Broadway de- feated.
 In the semi-wind-up Tommy O'Keefe, of this city. made Owen
 Flynn of New York, look like a novice The visitor survived the six rounds but he was punished severely. Young Nitchie, of Philadelphia,
 had a shade on Terry Young, of New
 York, and in the curtain raiser
 Young Clifford outpointed Frank Sheehan. Kid Broad was the only
 Philadelphian who met with re-
 verse. Jimmy Moran out-fought
 him in six rounds.
 The bouts were not the best that
 have been seen in Philadelphia, by
 any means. although the crowd was
 Enthusiastic. It is announced that the next card will bring together 8
 better class of fighters and that the going will be faster.

New Britain here tonight.
 That will be a warm contest and no mistake.
 Harry Starkie has become man. ager now, as he has secured new goal tender for his team.
 Wallingford missed the services of a good player from Massachusetts be- cause the word has gone up to that state that Wallingford is not a good town to play in.
 New Britain will make the effort of her life to down Waterbury to- night and the fight will be an inter- esting one from beginning to end. All remember the last meeting and how fast that game was. Tonight promises to be even more rapid. New Haven will be here to-mor- row evening and we will have to trim that bunch again. The New Ravens will have several new play CTS who have come from the big leagues, but we will take them home just as easily as we did Bone and the rest of them.

THE DIAM ND
FOR
 THE SEASON
Some of the Local Team Will Arrive Here Next Week
 Notes On the Game.

Manager Durant is still busy cor railing players for his ball team and when the list is announced he will make the other managers sit up and take notice. It Is approaching the time when the players will come out of their winter quarters and make tracks to this city, that will be their home, if they are lucky, for the next few months. Eddie Farley and Perry Thackara are already on the way and will arrive here next week. They are not walking either in order to get in condition, as some of the players in the other teams did last season. Both have been very saving since the win ter storms set in and, like all good salaried men, they still have little nest eggs stored away. No Water bury player ever walked out or into this city, with the possible exception of poor old Sockalexis,and he only did it because of the Indian in him, which told him walking was good for him. However, the players will soon be here and the girls can be happy for few more months and the fans can begin to get their base ball voices in condition.
 Manager c. J. Danaher of the New Haven base ball team announced yes terday that he had secured Herman Bronkie of Manchester, of last years Hartford team, to pitch for him the coming season. Bronkie was seen last night and he said that he be- longed to Newark and he did not know that he had been sold to New Haven. It was news to him that MI Danaher had bought him and the | pitcher rather doubted the report | Bronkie was with Waterbury a part of last season and later went to Hart ford, where he did good work. New Haven fans will be glad to have Bronkie down there as they remem Der how he held their team down te three hits one afternoon at Savir Rock last season. MT Danaher also says that he has pitcher from New ark named Knauth, who Is six fec tall and weighs 1S0 pounds. | seems that New London and New Ha ven are buying men by weight ant height this season and there Is l rivalry as to who will secure the tall est and fattest players.
 The Hartford team will report ol Il April 10 and they will have about
 week to get into shape for the prac
 tice games. The exhibition games ar
 ranged to date are: April 16. Mon
 treal; April IT, Rochester; April IS
 Niagara university; April 20, Jerse'
 City. In addition to the new player
 recently mentioned Manager Clarkil
 has secured Wesley Johnson of Phil
 adelphia, second baseman who wa
 recommended by Monte Cross and l said to be conner. James B. on
 of Philadelphia, a young pitcher, l to be given trial. He is the sol
 of Connie Mack's private secretar
 and is anxious to see what he can d
 in fast company. Negotiations ar
 also under way for another pitcher
 an outfielder and first baseman
 They will be with their teams in tn
 big league for the spring practice ant
 it is not known when they will b
 available for Hartford. With the ol'
 material left over and the new bloo'
 that is coming, Hartford ought to b
 able to start the season in goo'
 shape.
