Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-10-15
BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Mrs John Malone, wife of Alder man Malone, has almost fully recov- cred from her recent illness.
 Mrs Thomas Baxter of Thomas ton is visiting her mother, Mrs Thomas English of Bank street.
 Charles Loeff1er of Washington avenue is in Rome, N. Y, for a few days visiting his son Charles, jr, who will move back to Waterbury within a short time.
 Tomorrow will be Wolcott fair day and of course some of the boys from this section will be at the grounds to renew acquaintances with their friends in the country.
 Although John Spellman, Lou Cronin and Alfred Dufreyne do not practice their acrobatic act at the Brooklyn Athletic club, they still try their hand at the game. Now that Cronin has recovered from his recent illness the trio are once more at the rooms of the Washington Hill Ath- letic club where their act is receiv- ing many favorable comments.
 Nicholas Polambo, age 5, who lives in Wards flats, fell down a flight of stairs in the rear of the building this morning and escaped almost without scratch. The boy was playing on the upper veranda when he in some way lost his balance and went tumbling down the stairs. Although the mother thought that the boy who sent forth some loud screams was badly hurt, she found that with the exception of a few bruises the boy was unscathed.
 Brooklyn will in all probability be represented in the Amateur Polo league provided such an organiza- tion is formed. Last season this sec tion was represented by good five which made stubborn fight for the pennant. The league will undoubt- edly be formed if the management decides to compensate the players in some way for furnishing the prelimi- nary games as is done in other cities. If the managers do so, there should be lively race; otherwise the play. CTS are likely to refuse to form a league.
 At meeting of the Junior Anna teur league last evening Thomas Grimes, manager of the Quakers who won the pennant, was presented with S75,the amount that was coming to the winning nine. William Kopp manager of the Pioneers who thought they had the pennant clinched was presented with $25 the second prize. President Joseph Smith who held the money presented it to the managers. Mir Smith was given a vote of thanks for his services during the season, tLe managers being much pleased with his work. Judging from the com- ments of the managers the league next season will be even more pros porous than it has been the past.
 A pool tournament was started last evening at the rooms of the Brooklyn Athletic club. The list of entries is large. Twenty-three games will be played by each man and the three first will receive prizes. Hu- bert Cunningham, the shark" and Harry Drinkwater are the scratch men. Cunningham should have a good chance of winning but if Pat rick Cronin has much of a handicap he should defeat "Hubie," as Cronin when in form can take good care of the worries. Last evening Martin Duane defeated William Howard: John Schlosser was too much for Michael Carroll: Cunningham won his game with Charles Overton, while P. Clark lost to P. Cronin.
 Although it was the general im- pTession that the Naugatuek station would he out of existence ere now. it still continues to be used. What is more it is likely to be kept in service for some time to come. About year ago almost everyone believed that be- fore this winter all passengers would board and alight from trains at the Highland station IL was planned to have all tracks running there before nov but the work was not pushed as rapidly as expected Several times it has been stated that it would be only few weeks before the NauEz- tuck woulI be discontinued but the few weeks have been rather sxtend- cd The railroad ozciz1s thstnselves do not seem to kr0w just wien the
