MANY SPORTS IN GERMANY.
Registered Sporting Clubs Have Mem
 bership of 47O.OO0.

Germany is fast becoming nation of spOrtsmen. According to statistics just issued the properly registered sporting clubs of various denomina- tions within the empire have an az gregate membership this year of 470,- GOO.
 The most popular sport seems to be professionalism in various forms, which is an easy first with 260,000 devOtees, followed by cycling with 115,000 ad- herents. Rowing clubs have 37O00 and swimming clubs 2G.000 members. There are 24,0O0 sharpshooters and 10000 tennis players in Germany.
 Cricket and football are grouped to- gether in seventh place with 14.000 en- thuSiasts. Sailing clubs come next with 10000 supporters. Skating has fallen off to great extent lately; there are only 5.200 club skaters left in the Fatherland. Many of these seem to have turned their attention to skiing as a sport of which there are now 1000 followers.
 Automobile clubs account for 4.175 members. and the latest form of sport, aerOnautics. has already 2.775 accre- dited devOtees. Among the least fla vored pursuits are angling. which can only boast of ITS members.

Again are telegrams flying thick and fast from Waterbury to the west where the polo league is wabbling. out there. LoXson has had his, arm tin canned and it will have to re- main encased for several weeks. We need rusher and we need him bad. ly. Hence the telegrams. The west ern managers have been trying to conceal them as they arrived but so many were fired out that way that a few have landed. Fred Wodtke, the Flying Dutchman," is the one best bet that the local managers are now, banking on. He has been playing great polo in the west, even if he did come from the days of Tom Cotter. Higgins or Ted Lewis cannot be, se- cured until the last gun is fired out in the west and then we may lose them as Higgins wants to play in Providence if he plays here at all and Bridgeport says it has a lead pipe cinch on Lewis. It looks like bust up out there as Barney Doh erty who was running the Sharon team has jumped to Sharon and Wod- ike belongs on the Sharon team. Suffice it to say we will get rusher if we have to kidnap him.

Manager Durant Has Secured Sev. eral New Stars--Some Notes
 of Interest.

Affairs in the baseball world are beginning to awaken. Waterbury has not been heard from in some while, all the other cities have been telling padded stories about the new material they are going to have and the surprise they had in store for the other teams. But Waterbury has at last come out from her winters sleep and she can tell a few things herself. Manager Durant has had the wireless system working over time and the natural consequences of course has to be more than grati- flying. From Rochester will come Curtiss and Fisher, two corking good pitchers, Fisher being a southpaw. They have the spit ball beatena mile and on September Is outpitched the American twirlers in Rochester. Dusty Miller is great fielder and sprinter of well known ability.

 Brooklyn, who put him on the draft list and then turned him back to Waterbury again. Waterbury will have a great team, the greatest in the east, so the wise ones in the
 Eastern league say. Let the season begin we are ready

 Barney Doherty will be in the line up.
 Perhaps Wodtke will be here also for the local team,' who knows?
 If you have never seen Barney Doherty in action it will~be worth while to get a look at him to-mor- row night. .H,
 Providence is stepping along lively now and with the addition of new timber that city should make it in- teresting for all of them.
 The Thompsonville team defeated Bristol in the latter place Saturday night, to 2. Thompsonville made five goals in the first period.
 Mike Doherty, referee, should get his glasses on when Waterbury plays again. The local players say they got a pretty raw deal down New Ha- ven way.
 Cusick asked Bone why he did not stop roughing it when he knew the condition that he, ,Bone,was in. It was all done out of sympathy for Bone. The latter's reply to Cusick who was pitying him, would not look we'll in print.
 George Bone leaped like tiger for Tommy Holderness the other even ing but he met a man who does not fear any man of Bones calibre. The consequences were that Bone hit the floor hard and then the New Haven papers said that the locals tackled a sick man.
 Wallingford defeated Meriden in a rattling good exhibition of roller polo at the Casino, Hanover park, Satur- day evening by a score of to 4 The contest was fast and exciting from start to finish, and both sides put up great fight.

Owner COmiskey of the White SOx says that there is no legal way to keep the new club out of the Windy City and that in view of the fact that he invaded Chicago in a similar manner he does not believe that it is up to him to say that some. body else cannot follow his example.
