 Hartford has furnished seven of those 20 victories which hold New Britain in the lead.
 Miller, who has just joined New Haven, says that the west is sup porting polo in great style. Unless the leagues in the east come up with the coin, the crack players are going to remain in the breezy country.
 New Britain Is booked for the re- opening of the Wallingford armory under the new management next Tuesday night. Word was received from Madden, the polo player who was on the late team in the borough, that he would be on hand Monday, if not before. If the other five men show up as promised, Madden will be used as utility man.

JOHN L. REMEMBERED.

Another John l.. Sullivan story. and a true one. was uncorked yester- day. It further emphasizes the fa. nous fighters honesty and also proves that his memory is up to the standard.
 Recently while Sullivan was prav- ing at the Lyceum theater Philadel- phia. he sat one day fin the private office of John G. Jermon. the house manager. when the latter was called to the telephone. After the telephonic conversation Jermon said:
 That was Jerry Donahue on inc phone. You know Jerry. Runs the saloon on the corner opposite. He wanted me to loan him SJg0 and I told him l couldn't spare it.
 Tell him to call around and sec me. growled Sullivan with his sub marine voice.
 Donahue called that evening.
 Jerry" remarked the heavyweight you remember when I was running q saloon in New York you once guaranteed the payment of eight bar rels of whisky for me. Well. vou got stuck and never paid you he cause didn't have the money. Here's sJCo.-
 Sullivan handed the antonisbed DOnahue five one hundred dollar bills. Then the former champion drew two twenty dollar gold pieces from his picket and game them to Domaine.
 What's this for.- demanded the saloon keeper

HAD SHERIDAN GOING.
The Only Time Umpire Sheridan Eve,
 Received Shock.

Jack Sheridan. the American league umpire. and possessor of that re- markable fog-horn voice. Is a man of unusually observing disposition and. moreover is gifted with a very reten- tive memory.
 Only one ball player was ever known to get Jack in a bewiIderei condition. and that was a young coll legian by the name of White. who played in the big league in the early JUS. It was some time before Jack recovered from the shock of the en- counter he had with the college boy. who. by the way, was a pitcher and Tor part of the season good lad, too.
 It all happened at Cincinnati fin a game between the Reds and the Phil lies. Jack called a couple of bad ones. and the college youth came in on a run: not the least bit excited. though: and this is what he shot at the stocky umpire:
 Il shall return to my previous po- sition in the immediate future. Mir Sheridan. but before doing so I desire " lhAotm yVu uiat sOuT utClslOuS are of an absolutely unjustifiable. mere tricious and fiagrsntly pernicious species.

 Jack says he felt not only stunned but mighty bad also at what the uni versity lad banded him. because he didn't know whether the boy was making reflections on the Sheridan family at large or only on himself.

THE DIAM OND
BUSY TIMES
 AT NIAGARA
Johnny Moran Named as One oi the Leaders of the Pitching
 Staff Team Coming Here.

Manager McGrath of the Niagara
 University Baseball team, announced
 yesterday that owing to the addition
 of Yale and the University of Penn sylvania to his schedule that he is
 forced to cancel the Holy Cross date.
 Niagara was scheduled to meet Holy
 Cross at Worcester, Wednesday, April "A, but owing to the addition of the
 two larger eastern universities it was
 deemed advisable to cancel the Holy
 Cross date in order to place Yale and Pennsylvania on the Niagara sched- ule. Notwithstanding the fact
 that Niagara will not play Holy Cross this year, the admirers of the purple and white will be given an opportun- ity to judge the strength of Niagara and Holy Cross upon the diamond, as Nlagara will meet Fordham, the champion of the Catholic colleges, at
 New York during the eastern trip.
 Last year Fordham defeated Holy Cross and Niagara, but this year Ni- agara expects to triumph over the
 New York students. Coach Reed and Captain Moran were desirous of meet ing of Holy Cross this year, as they feel confident that this years team would easily defeat Holy Cross, which II IS considerably weakened by the loss Of such stars as Hoey, Carrigan, Flynn and Hogarty. According to the supporters of Niagara the action of Manager McGrath in canceling this game meets with the approval of Holy Cross, which is little timid as to the outcome of a meeting this year.
 The strength of Niagara's ball team this year will far exceed that or any other year as the best of last years team are now at the varsity, and Tn addition there is some excel lent material among the newcomers and Coach Reed is quoted as saying that Tn all his baseball experience at Holy Cross he never saw more prosperous gathering of candidates than the present squad which is daily working out in the new gym. Moran and Yates, who were considered by the baseball critics of the east to be among the best college twirlers in the country are displaying their old time form, and both give promise of Keeping up their past records. Coach Reed has made the first cut in the squad, which numbered sixty. He re- duced the number to thirty-five, and before entering upon outdoor work ne VIII again reduce the squad Coach Barry will arrive at Niagara the lat ter part of this month, and assist in getting g'the team into shape. Niagara will play in Waterbury, April IS.

 Billy Hanna still has the smile. Pretty rough game down in Bridgeport.
 New Haven's new center. Miller made more than good last night.
 Close together are those first three teams and Bridgeport Is watching for an opening to jump through for the lead.
 Kicked on Sutton's guards did you Bridgeport and stood for the Hart ford man and his barn doors? Doh- erty must have got a new tape meas ure since he was here the night be- fore last.
 Jason was a fast man when he was in this league before and he will be of great assistance to New Haven With Curtiss. Jason and Miller the Elm City ought to come up the line a bit.
 New Haven took our chance away from us a short time ago by de- feating us the night New Britain was whipped. She gave us an open- ing last night but we were not equal to the emergency.
 There is no use in denying it Dicky Pierce Is our jonah but we will set the hook into him yet and when we do it will stick there for some time.
 It is good betting Bill Feet had a smile a yard wide when he saw his pets throw 1t into the leaders last night We could smile with him had things gone differently down in Bridgeport

Bridgeport, Feb 16.-A crowd of about 1900 people was at the Brook lawn rink last evening to see the Dumplings trim the fast Waterbury team. It was one of the best games seen here this season. It looked as If there would be no game at first as the goal tender for Waterbury had guards on which measured an inch over the required size, but Captain Williams gave in to the Waterbury men and the game started.
 The game started off with rush and Dickey Pierce got the ball in the cage in 5m 31s, Duggan following with one in 5:34. Williams and Hol- derness both fouled in this period. A goal was caged by Bridgeport, but was not counted as the Waterbury men claimed 1t went through hole in the side of the cage. In the sec ond period no goals were made. In the third period Duggan again caged goal for Bridgeport in 1859. Loxson made the only goal for Waterbury in 9:02. Woods of Bridgeport was knocked out and re- placed by Whipple.

Any crack Bridgeport or Water- bury bowler who happens to stray into Johnson's alleys while in New Haven, needn't be surprised to see his picture adorning the walls of the Orange street academy. Al" John- son has been collecting pictures for the last six months of prominent Con- necticut bowlers and has now a big stack of them. There are fifty New Haven bowlers hung upon the wall, and the photo collector is still on the hunt for coming pin smashing artists.
 The Paris Automobile club has chosen the Department of Seine In- ferieue as the locality for the race for the Grand Prize. The course will be an irregular triangle. It runs from Dieppe to Flu, thence to Don- dinieres and then to Dieppe. Dieppe has made great financial sacrifices to have the course located there.
 That the other colleges believe the Cornell crews victories on the water are due largely to the boats they use IS demonstrated by the fact that when Coach Courtney decided to sell some of the shells to make room in the penthouse at Cayuga lake, nearly three-score of offers were made for them. After six had been sold to smaller colleges. Courtney had to tell the others that were clamoring for the boats that there were no more for sale.
