Hugh Rorty will referee and predicts that about 1,S00 people will turn out to see the trouble. The Hartfords will play for share of the receipts and they expect to get more than they received at the benefit game in Hartford.
 All the locals with the exception of Frank Sutton will probably leave for their homes to-day. They have made many friends while in this city and everybody wishes them good luck until next season when it IS expected they will return.
 Bridgeport did not do the square thing by coming up here without a goal tender. Waterbury used her better than that when the benefit game was played down there. Bar ney Doherty in the goal was a joke but the fans took it all good na- turedly. M
 Fred Druehl came up from New Haven last night and oficiated as referee and did the job well. Sey- eral times he narrowly escaped be- ing wedged in by the fliers Loxson and Duggan as he dropped the ball to the floor.

Favorite Led His Field In Handicap
 at Washington.
 WASHINGTON, April B. = Oxford had his final preparation in the sixth race at Bennings for the Carter handi. cap, the first big stake event of the season to be run Monday.
 The race was handicap at one mile, and Oxford shouldered top weight, 126 pounds. Miller had the mount and handled the big gray horse well. He rushed to the front when the barrier flew up, and he was not in trouble afterward. He led his field by half a dozen lengths at the turn. Buttons came on resolutely in the stretch, but could not approach the leader. Oxford won by three lengths, with Buttons seven lengths in front of Faust. The time, 1:34 3-5. was not impressive, but the track was slow and Oxford wal not extended.
 Two favorites, one second choice and three outsiders won the six events, the winning favorite, besides Oxford, being Senator Barrett, also ridden by Mil Ter. Despite the fact that no special feature marked the card. the crowd was the largest of the week. LAmour at 80 to 1, won the opening event by two and a half lengths. Ackbar gave the winner an argument in the stretch but did not last, Blue Dale was third
 Servile, one of Madden's pair in the second, won, going away in the very good time of 50 1-5 seconds, beating the odds on favorite, Ben Cole, decisively In the third Hartford Boy. heavily played, was left at the post again Senator Barrett, Marston and Bob Cal lahan. Jr.. finishing in order.

The ships of the American navy will soon enter up on the annual target practice with the big gun and each boat will seek to make the highest score. But 1t may not be known that the enlisted man of the navy is as carefully drilled in the use of small arms as in the handling of the big guns. The ships of the At lantic squadron have just completed

BASEBALL NOTES.

Pitcher Whipp, who was released by Holyoke after three days trial. was recommended at the. close of last season to Clark Griffith of the Ner York Americans, and it was through Griffith that Holyoke heard of him.
 Tom Crook made himself solid with Baltimore fans for while at least in the game with the New York Americans Wednesday. when he made two hits. One was a three-base hit that sent in three runs, and the other . two-bagger.
 Doc White, with the Chicago White. Sox. believes running the best of all work to condition one for the season. He does not. put in hours of pitching as one might suppose, but gets one of the fellows to bat fly balls to him in the outfield, and hit them so that he will have to run for them. He has done more work in that manner while on the trip than in any other way.
 Spread the glad tidings. Jim O'Rourke has loosened up his purse strings and paid big price. exact sum not given out, to secure ]. j..

The Bridgeport pitching stan is also touted asy a worldbeater with Cornen. Red Wal Ter. Gerber. Yerkes and George Stacy
 Kid Mccormick. the former Hol- yoke captain. and another member of the. Nashville team had thrilling adventure recently in Clarksville, Tenn. While exploring a cave near that place they found that they had not the lease idea where they were at. For five hours they wandered through chilly caverns. climbing over rocks and through holes. At last they saw the light of day. but when they arrived at the station the train bearing their companions had de- parted. and they did not reach Nash vile until the next day.

THE SEASON
 IS NOW ENDED
Waterbury Defeated Bridgeport and Now Rests Securely in
 The Second Place.

Murmurs of surprise were waited around the Eagles hall last evening by the fifteen hundred or more people present, when, after wait of twcn- ty-fiye minutes, the Bridgeport polo team was not prepared to go on with the battle. Many wondered if polo was to be classed ill the same game with wrestling and boxing matches. They had been stung so often in those two sports that they had become used to it, but to be taken in by polo was more than they bargained for. The murmurs gradually deepened into a rumbling of dissatisfaction and things were beginning to look serious when a hush fell over the assemblage as out from the dressing room shot something that bore just little re- semblance to human being. Did I say "shot" out of the dressing room? It was mistake this mollycoddle or whatever it was waddled out like duck. As it reached the playing sur face it was still waddling. It was surrounded by an armor that would remind you of the days of old, the on
 ly difference being that this armor was made in mattress factory. As the being removed his helmet, shout went up from Carson city as the sor- rel top of Barney Doherty illuminated the playing surface. Yet 1t was Bar ney, captured, subjugated and pressed into surface because Bridgeport's reg ular man had taken freight train instead of passenger and was then on his way, with the rest of the cat tie, sailing gaily toward the west.
 Barney appeared tired and disgust ed with himself as he gazed at the robes in which they had decked him.
 He was soon awakened from his lethargy for the game was on while the hands of the timers watch were climbing toward the ten o'clock hour. But Barney was there alr right and had Bridgeport played little faster. pr rather had Waterbury played lit tie poorer. we might this morning say to Billy Hanna. sir you have taken second place in the Connecticut Polo league" But we won and with only small margin at that. It was not brilliant game. although there were some good plays made. It was fast and slow, just about as the players felt and all were we'll pleased when the last bell had sounded for the close of the game and the close of the polo season. The ineup and summary:

The following letter ought to make
 Jack Roach sit up and listen for 3 few minutes before he draws his
 breath. It was written in reference
 to the challenge which Jack sent to this office few days ago and is as | follows:
 Waterbury. April IS, 1907. Sporting Editor Evening Democrat: Dear sir-Learning that MT Roach of Waterbury inserted an item in the Waterbury Evening Democrat
 Tuesday evening, stating that l had
 said that I thought I could make
 some easy money by biting lazy Winters of New Haven against him, 1 I would say in reply that I am not Winters manager and have not got
 him on string. The argument
 which I had with MT Roach one
 month ago would not indicate that I was Winters manager or wanted to make match, but told MT Roach few things that I had heard from reliable sources. If MT Roach wants
 match with MT Winters, why don't
 he go to the right parties, as lie knows them as well as I do. | Respectfully yours,

Much interest attaches to the com- ing wrestling match between Cham pion Frank Gotch and Fred Beell.
 The two men have divided honors in the last two matches in which they have participated. Gotch has now announced that he will retire from the wrestling business in June to
 marry and take up quiet rural life. There are those who want to be- lieve that Gotch has chosen Beell as the man upon whom to transfer his honor as champion. Should Gotch
 lose this coming match there is a
 large sporting following in Iowa that
 will demand Beell to meet in the near future Farmer" Burns, of Big Rock, la. Though Burns is nearly fifty
 years old and taught the game to
 Gotch, who has reached the height
 and is about to retire, he is never
 theless one of the most active men
 on the mat.
 Hundreds of admirers of Deells maintain that no other man than
 Gotch can defeat him in a catch-as- |catch-can bout.
