Too Frank by Far.

Jack London, before setting out on
his world tour in q small boat. was
the guest of honor at dinner in San
Francisco.
"My friends have been very frank
with me about this tour" Mr.. London
said at the dinner. "They have told
me that am poor sailor, that l
know nothing Of navigation, that l
won't get anywhere near around the
world, that I'll be wrecked, that I'm
q fool, and SO on.
"Frankness is a good thing but
sometimes 1t is rather unpleasant. My
friends frankness reminds me of the
unusual address that an eccentric San
Fracisco clergyman made to a young
couple that he was about to marry.
George, the clergyman began,

graduate you on the wise step you are
about to take. It was sad, indeed, to
see you wasting your youth In drunk

BASE BALL.
WATERBURY
 IS PUNISHED
Must Pay Out Nearly Two Hundred Dollars For a Whole Lot of
 Foolishness.

New Haven June 29.-The Water.
 bury baseball management certainly
 got it right from the shoulder last
 night at a meeting of the state
 league directors at Hotel Garde.
 George Strobel and his able manager,
 Harry Durant, were present and list
 ened attentively to the discussion pertaining to the team from that
 city. It all occurred over Captain
 Nichols being fined $25, which he
 fused to pay and Manager Durant in- sisted on his team playing with the suspended player. The game in which the fuss started was with Nor wich. The umpire under instruc- tions from President Tracy, forfeited the game to Norwich. It was voted by the directors that the Waterbury management will have to reimburse the Norwich club to the amount of $50 damages. Norwich claimed $150 on account of having to return tick cts for the game.
 The second dose to the Waterbury club was when the directors unani- mously voted that Waterbury be fined S125 for refusing to play with out Nichols who was suspended. Owner Strobel stated that he would immediately pay the fines and did not approve of the methods taken by his manager. He said he did not thoroughly understand the situation. Durant claimed that Nichols had not been notified of the fine which was sent by President Tracy in care of Durant.
 The league directors then took up the polo situation and decided to go into the business head over heels. The magnates are more than enthu- siastic over the sport and will con- duct a polo league this winter with out fail They discussed in an in formal manner the securing of suit able rinks for the games. Several applications for polo franchises from the different parts of the state have been received by Secretary James O'Rourke of Bridgeport and he stat ed that the outlook is very bright at the present time. MT McLay, own CT of the New Haven polo franchise, has applied for franchise in the new league. Dan O'Neil of Spring field was strong in resenting the statements recently published that he would not stick to polo. He told the baseball directors he would stick to polo as long as there was any juice in it and wants to see the league a success.
 This presents an interesting situ- affnn and tho ppoSffpp artcao bof will become of the present polo league? Those present last night were Cornelius Danaher of New Ha- ven; Dr George Thompson of Nor wich; Allie Page of New London; Dan o'Neil of Springfield; J. J. Prindleville of Holyoke; George Strobel and Harry Durant of Water bury; James H. o'Rourke of Bridge port, and John Kennedy, supervisor of umpires.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-06-29

Manager Guilfoile said to-day that 1t would not surprise him little bit to see the St Josephs walk away with that game from the Hills tomorrow. Stranger things have come to pass and there may be something up the sleeve of the St Jo manager.
 Umpires Waite and Foley will offciate in all the games and this will assure the public that every thing will be conducted in the regu lar and proper manner. Each has the same powers as an umpire in the National or American leagues.
 President Tracy may be blamed by some of the fans for the stand he has taken in the Nichols matter. but the great majority will uphold him in trying to make the league a clean one Admit that Nichols's act vas done ia hasty manner and with no evil intent. it was done just the same and the president should be upheld.

ONCE A BASEBALL PARK.
Property in Bridgeport Foreclosed
 Yesterday by Bank.

Foreclosure proceedings in the su- perior court in Bridgeport yesterday marked the end of an athietic venture that promised all sorts Of big things fourteen years ago. The Park City Athletic club built a clubhouse and grandstand on Boston avenue and they were going to have boxing. base ball, running. gymnastics. etc. The Boston Nationals played game there once. The club soon got into financial dif1i- culties and when James II. o'Rourke opened his Newfield avenue grounds he moved the fence and grandstand. The indebtedness of the club amounts to over Sl1.OOO. The property Is worth about S20.OO0 now.

 NEW YORK. June 20. Grapple, backed down from l6 to to , to 2, fa- vorite. easily won the Thistle selling stakes. the feature of the card at Sheepshead Bay.
 There was considerable rough riding in this race, in which First Mason and Hyperion II. were the chief. sufferers. their chances being thereby ruined. Grapple went to the front in the first furlong and set fast pace. leading by two lengths. This advantage he held to the end and won.

TABLE OF PERCENTAGES
BASE BALL NOTES.

City league games tomorrow.
 All the fans should be out at Reid vile.
 The boys have been handicapped pretty badly and deserve big at tendance at the three games to-mor. row.
 The first game will bring together the Hills and St Josephs, the Brook lyns and North Ends in the second and the Pastimes and Merrimacs in the third.
 | Duke Farrell, the catcher just re- leased by Holyoke. and who played for a while with Hartford, will be- come resident of this city and will catch for the Benedict & Burnham team.
 The Waterbury players were sur prised to meet Harry o'Hagan down in Bridgeport yesterday. He came on from Newark to see what busi- ness he could do with Manager Du- rant. He did not come up with the boys last night.
 With all due respect to Captain Nichols we are very much of the opinion that Jimmy Mcdonald with an alias will not do. That was an awful error yesterday. and at such a time, too. With the stick also he was not in it.
 While little McEnroe did not do anything in the batting line yester- day, he certainly was a busy man around the second station. Thir- teen chances and all accepted clean ly is pretty near record for a sec ond baseman in this league.
 Tad Jones is said to be booked for the captaincy of the Yale base ball team. The election will take place after the final game with Harvard in New York to-day.
 Jimmie Canavan is to pilot the New Bedford team for the balance of the season. Last year Canavan was a success in New Bedford, but without him things have not been moving along so smoothly this sea- son.
 The writer has claimed right along that the fines on Captgin Nichols should have been paid. Had this been done the owners would not be up against bigger fine and the loss of many dollars by small attend ance.
 All the friends of the teams in the City league should make an effort to get out to the games tomorrow. There will be three corking good contests and the players deserve good recognition since they have been prevented from playing on many occasions.
 Supposing some of the recalcitrant players in this league were given the dose that Tim Flood of the To- rontos got this week in the Eastern league. Sentenced to jail for fif- teen days for insulting an umpire and then bounced from the league forever by the president. Perhaps that would make them as meek as lambs.
 Perhaps the Hills are sorry now that they took some of the North End players for their own team. for the North Ends go up against Brook lyn tomorrow and the Hills would give almost anything to see the North Enders down the boys from Brooklyn.
 One of the fighting contests will be the Merrimaes and the Pastimes- Here are two teams about evenly matched and 1t should be a nip and tuck fight from the beginning to the end The Merrimacs will try hard not to be displaced from their pres ent standinE
