Yale Loses Many Star Ball Playes
 by Graduation.

New Haven. Jan 1s.-Baseball prospects at Yale are not as iowery as they might be- The pitching ma- terial is rated as but fair, while there are few good players available from last years freshman nine. The var slty- veterans are Tad Jones. Camp and Captain Kinney, in the inield; Madden and Williams. fielders, and WyIie and Chapin. catchers. Missing from last year are 0'Brien, Smith. Jackson and Huiskamp. Tad Jones will probably go behind the bat. leaving Taylor. Mallory and Jefrer- son to fight 1t out for second base. Camp will probAtiy stick to secoud base and Kinney to third base. A shortstop will have to be developed. For the tviriing department. Par sons, Pratt and Meyer look the most likely, with the latter in the lead- It is believed that Howard Jones sore arm will prevent him from try ing for the team Chapin, Mallory and Williams af present appear the best of the outaeIders.

Waterbury Players Take Them Into Camp in Their Own City
 Results of All Games.

New Haven, Jan 19.--In the closest, fastest and toughest game seen at the Quinpipiac rink this year, the Water bury polo team defeated the New Ha- ven five last night by the narrow mar gin of one point caged in the extra period required to decide the contest, the score being 4-3.
 The game from start to finish was such a spirited exhibition of polo that the followers, about 1000 in number, shrieked themselves hoarse Ill the wiIdness of their enthusiasm. The first goal was granted to New Haven on foul by Goal Tender AL len after four minutes of play. Just before the period ended Loxson, Dy neat dribbling,. carried the ball the length of the floor and poked 1t in, tieing the score.
 In the second period New Haven apparently fell behind and lost all chance of winning. LOxson and Mur- ray worked like clockwork and two goals were quickly scored by them. New Haven's chances were im- paired when. during the latter part of lllS pcIlOel, oCOl6C AJOhSs thS of the team, was dropped with q wicked wallop from the stick of Lox- son. Bone received a deep scalp wound and left the floor, being replac- ed by Welch.
 Waterbury's lead was further in- creased shortly after the opening of the third period when Loxson, driving from directly in front of his own goal, caged the ball. At this time Bone, with his head
 swathed In bandages, made his ap-
 pearance and took his place, relieving | Welch. Dews almost immediately l caged a goal and this was followed by
 a. neatly caged goal by Bone. Holderness, who had previously
 been penalized for holding and trip
 ping, was penalized twice in this per l iod, the score thus being tied. The extra period had hardly begun l when Loxson, smashing in drive by
 Dupee ended the game. Score to 5 l to 3.

LONDON STOCK MARKET.
Trading During the Week Was h.
 active, With Lower Prices.

London. August 3.-Trading on the exchange in the early part of the week was characterized by inactivity and depression and renewed fall in the prices of coDsols, which at one time were below S2ha.
 This decline was due largely to the Egyptian government placing a large Llock of stocks on the market which was not wanted at the current prices. I his caused depression and tigat monetary situation. Towards the end of the week. however, moderate in- vestment purchases, coupled with 0 more cheerful tone on the Paris bourse and less anxiety regarding the situa- tion in Morocco had a bracing effect and caused prices to harden. The mar ket generally closed at the best prices of the week Business, however. has been small owing to the settlement and the approaching holidays.
 American shares manifested fairly steady tendency throughout the Wee@, though they suffered under the gen eral gloom. Transactions were re- stricted by dear money and the un- favorable bank statement from New York Ar the end of the week small local speculative support, together with support from Wall street, i'm parted firmness and prices closed at the best. Southern Pacific and Union Pacific were features of the week. Money continues dear and the pros poets for easy money in the near fu- ture are uncertain.
