POLO
LOCAL MANAGERS
 ARE HUSTLING Waterbury Will Have a corking Good Team-News From
 Other Cities.

s From the reports that are coming in from all the cities that will be represented in the National Polo league, the game this season will be faster than ever before. Waterbury will not be behind in the race by any means, for Managers McMahon and Halliwell are banking on a win ming team. The following players will surely form a part of the team: Bobby Loxsoa in second rush posi- tion, Fahey and Tommy Holderness doing the center work, and Murray for substitute. Frank Sutton will in all probability play in the west, but in his place the local managers are dickering for one of the best goal tenders in the country. The first, rush is another position to be filled, as McGilvray will not be here, because he will be at the head of the Providence team. The local fans need not be surprised if they see Bob Hart in the first rush line. He was the best man in the west last season and would just fill the bill in this city. With Hart on the first rush line and LoXson feeding them up to him as Bobby knows how, there would be nothing to it but victory after victory.

HOW THEY FRAME UP.

As result of the three series of games in the Connecticut State league bowling tournament last night, Hartford dropped from first place to tie with New Haven for second place, and Waterbury, who was tied for second place with New Haven, jumps into the lead. New Haven won two out of three games in Hartford, capturing the deciding game by eleven pins. Meriden lost three games at Waterbury and this put Waterbury in the lead. New Britain won the second game in Bridgeport by one pin and lost the first and third. In this game Bridge port broke three of the seasons rec ords. The team made the highest total score, 2,S04, the highest single total, 1,010, and Douglas made the highest individual three string total, 624. He made 206, 1S2 and 236.
 c. w. Pullam of Meriden, who had the best individual average up to last night, took a big drop, as he rolled scores of 152, 125 and I'll. Beecher of New Haven, who was we'll up in the race, also had a drop. His average up to last night was 1864 and last night his average was 173. Henry s. Redfield of Hartford, an- other of the leaders, did not go down much as his average last night was 1923, and before it was 1851. The race is getting very warm and there will surely be something doing next week, when Bridgeport makes it's first appearance in Hartford. Water bury rolls in New Haven and Meri- den goes to New Britain.

PRINCETON WORK RAGGED.

Princeton, Oct 9.-Work on the college gridiron was very light yes terday. Princeton has to meet Wes- leyan to-day, and the Tiger coaches do not care to take any chances of injuring their men. Bucknell Will be here on Saturday, and the two games will be all the hard work that the Tigers will have this week. In past seasons the early games were looked upon as days of rest. This year things are different and the work through the week is subordi- nate to the games.
 The change in Princeton's policy was shown very much in Mondays work. The scrimmage practice was very short. It lasted not more than five minutes, and the work was very ragged. In that time, however, the regulars scored touchdown, and Harlan made his usual goal from the field. Harlan turned the trick from the 35 yard line, and from rather a difficult angle.

COACH CRANE PLEASED.

Cambridge. Oct 9.-Head Coach Crane said yesterday that he was very we'll pleased with the work of Brennan and Cutting. the two play CTS that were promoted to the var sity in Mondays practice. Brennan was tried at fullback and did far bet ter work than any fullback that has been seen on the field this year bar ring only Apollonio. Cutting was also tried behind the line. and all though he did not show up as well as did Brennan. he made favorable impression. Both will be given a trial in to-day's game against Bates.

SECOND ELEVEN SCORED.

New Haven, Oct 9.-To the great chagrin of the varsity, the second eleven crossed the regulars goal line twice in yesterdays practice. The scrubs are now really stronger than the varsity, as they have been reinforced by Hobbs, the former Dartmouth tackle; Warren, guard from Penn State, and Andrus, the giant freshman. These men are all stars, but not one is eligible to play on the varsity. Their work on the scrubs is valuable to the regulars, as they give Yale the finest trial horse. of any of the colleges. Philbin played left half yesterday in place of Wheaton, who is still in the in firmary.

 Walter Eckersal, Chicago's famous quarterback, who now has a team named after him in the Windy City. has put himself on record as in favor of the new rules. because they have helped the smaller colleges and given light teams a chance against the big fellows.

HARTFORD GOES DOWN.

Hartford, Oct 9.-The largest crowd of the season turned out at Kirsche'B last night to see the strug- gle between Hartford and New Ha- ven. The roofing was the strongest ever heard at the alleys as the bugs were loyal to the home club and were anxious that they should win. They were fair to the opposing team, too, and no attempt was made to rat tie the pitcher.
 The Hartf0rds rolled poorly in the first game and New Haven was an easy winner. The second game was closer and Hartford won out. The excitement was intense when the final game was started and the local men made fine start. Red field topped off with POP. He got five strikes and they were hard to get last night. It was supposed that Hartford would win the rubber. but Tom Kimberly, the anchor. had beg garly luck. getting three splits in the middle of the game, which put his score on the bum. Johnson. the New Haven anchor. put up a star game and made the best score of the evening, 211.

Says Italy Backs Sulphur Trust.

Washington, Oct. 9.-There is the probability of international complica. tions in a request made by Attorney General Bonaparte to seize cargo of sulphur about to arrive in New York and to proceed under the Sherman an- thrust law against company that has the support of the Italian government The request is made by the Union Sul- phur company of Louisiana, which al- leges that the Consorzio Obbligatorio, an institution for the sale of sulphur, having the resources of the Italian government behind it, is preparing to throw 450000 tons of sulphur upon the American market. This course could be averted only by an agreement on the part of the American company to cease the exporting of sulphur to foreign countries and limit the output at home.

CORNELL IS HUSTIING.

Ithaca, Oct 9.-Cornell coaches have sent word that there will be no let-up in the practice of the Ithaca eleven. The way that Oberlin scored on Saturday has made every one real ize that the defensive work of the local eleven needs bracing up, and that can only be done by good hard work. The team was driven through long practice Monday, and all though Niagara is scheduled to play Cornell to-day there was no let-up in the practice.
 A decided innovation was tried in the work Monday. The regular backs were put behind the scrub line and Earle, Tydeman and Shean were time and again hurled at the varsity line. It was great practice for both the backs and the line.

san Franclsco stIn Qualsing.

A curious Illustration of the condi- tions that prevail in San Francisco was given the other day by New Yorker who stopped at Kansas City for a few hours on his way home from the Pacific slope. It was the first time his feet had touched ground since he took the train at San Francisco, and lie remarked that it was refreshing to stand on a sidewalk and be assured that building would not tumble down on you. He said the shakings of the earth were still going on at San Fran cisco, at least fifty having recurred since the great earthquakes heavy enough to do any appreciable damage, but still plainly felt.
 Such little incident as this enables one to form a faint idea as to how the people of San Francisco must feel, re- minded continually of their awful call amity and not knowing at what mo- ment it may come again. This shad- ow of fearful doom overhangng them must be almost as terrible as the fabled sword of Damocles suspended by hair above it's victims head Kansas City Journal.

RIDGEFIELD SCHOOL
 10 BE ENLARGED The Inn and Cottage Secured for Use for Coming
 Year.
INSTITUTIONS GROWTH
Yale Men to be Associated With Dr. Mulford in
 Administration.

Ridgefeld, Conn.,, June 4,-Closely following circmar which outlines the plans for the new Ridgefeld school comes the announcement that the we'll known Ridgefeld inn and an adjoining cottage have been secured as quarters for the school for the coming year. The inn, a new, spacious and attractive building facing on the beautiful main street of the little Connecticut town and designed to readily accommodate about forty-five guests, Is a distinct improvement over the buildings, for merly the home of Miss Fincke's School for Girls, which Dr. Roland J. Mulford had selected as the temporary quarters for his new school. The extensive sur rounding grounds will afford ample room for several tennis courts while a football field and baseball diamond will be located in the immediate vicin- ity.
 Ridgefield is reached by way of South Norwalk and Is centrally located be- tween New York and New Haven, a magnificent tract of rolling country
 
 sea. It is an ideal location for a bcys' school, offering numerous advantages and no objectionable features. More over, an extraordinary interest is being taken in Dr. Mulford and his new un- dertaking by the residents of Ridge field, many of whom will send their ! boys to his school next year.
 Dr. Mulford is well known in New Haven as an educator and worker among boys, having for more than ten years conducted a camp in Pennsyl- Vania and having been master at St. Marks school, the Pomfret school, the Country school at Baltimore and the Cheshire school Almost entirely through his efforts, the Cheshire school was built up to prosperous condition from the broken state in which he found it in 1903. In this Ridgefield en- terprise Dr. Mulford will labor vigor- ously for that success which seems al ready assured With him will be as- sociated Edwin B, King, a graduate of the class of 1897 at Yale and since then q master at St. Marks school, Mir King leaves St. Marks with a most

THE SUMMER OF 1916
Frost, Ice and snow in June. Frost and
 Ice in July and Thick in August.

Ice in July and Thick in August.
 A friend of the Waterbury American sends an ancient newspaper clipping which is of interest just nov as show ing how much colder than this season was one ninety-one years ago. It IS the northern states. It was known as as follows:
 In the year 1916 there was sharp frost Tn every month of the year in the northern states. It was known as the year without a summer. The far- mers used to refer to 1t as eighteen hundred and starve to death. In May ice formed half an inch thick in Hart ford, buds and flowers were frozen. and corn killed In the adjacent towns. Frost. ice and snow were common in June throughout Connecticut and the snow fell five inches deep in New York land in Massachusetts, ten inches, deep on June 19. July was accompanied ] with frost and ice. On the fifth ice i formed to the thickness of window glass in Canton, Conn, and through out New England, and Pennsylvania corn was nearly destroyed in many sections. In August ice formed hall an inch thick In Litchied. A cold northern wind prevailed nearly al summer with heavy rain falls. Corr was frozen so that a greater part was cut down and dried in fodder. Farm. CTS were obliged to pay $4 or $5 bushel for corn of 1915 for seed for the next springs planting.
