 One Day Only.

On Saturday Napoleon Lajoie, oft en called the best player in the base ball world, will have absolute con- trol of the Cleveland Press, an after noon paper. Lajoie is manager of the Cleveland American league team and his page will attract attention in sporting circles.

 It Is unnecessary for q roller polo team to have a coach. The fans do the coaching and nothing misses the eye of the true polo bug. They tell the various players what to do, how the game should be played and they are never at q loss for sarcastic comment about the opposing team. There Is probably less fairness In polo audi ence than any other. A good many want to see a visiting player put out of business. but if any local man is thrown. there is a hue and cry at once and the referee is asked to put the offender out Tom Cotter usei to do . great deal of coaching himself and bis cry Of 'Shopt- is never used now Harry stsrkie has always bad | hab- t of leaving his cage in oc1er te take c cack af the balI himself and as eoeo co he does tbae coDes fhe warn- hs CD ffDn the b1eacA6 ceacbes -QGf onek neo " 0Ga-1afsfrd

LUNDIN LOST MATCH.
Was to Throw Perreli Twice. But Got
 Only One Fall,

Hjalmar Lundin of Worcester Tuesday night failed to carry out his challenge to throw John Perreli of New York twice within the space of one hour, at Boston. It was a catch as-catch-can contest, and both men entered into the event, the one with a determination to carry out his challenge and the other to prevent the accomplishment of that object. Lundin. by the use of a half-bar and scissors-lock hold, threw his man for the first fall in S9h minutes. but during the remaining 20h minutes failed to achieve his object.

ABOUT TOMMY BURNS.

This Tommy Burns-Robert Fitz- simmons talk has ended almost be- fore it was we'll begun. There were few who seriously thought that any such match would be made or could be pulled on in Philadelphia, and now comes the word from the Wash ington Sporting club that Fitz is not even considered.
 The club still talks of a match with Burns. but comes along with some conversation about finding a good heavyweight opponent for the young Canadian.
 !. Ther are plenty of eligibles, but 1t does not seem to be the intention to find anything but soft mark. for in lieu of old Fitz the name of Marvin Hart has been mentioned. No match of any kind has been made. but for press agent reasons there will surely be plenty said and contradicted be- fore the kickers are through with the latest yelp.
 The whole thing sounds very much Tonopah in its press agent style.

WE WON GAME
 LAST NIGHT Bridgeport and Her Star Team Trailed in the Dust New
 Haven Also Won.

Bridgeport, Jan 17.-In a game replete with hard, fast playing, clever passing and team work and
 brilliant stops, the Waterbury polo team defeated the Bridgeports f to 1
 last evening at the Brooklawn skating rink. There was a cracking big crowd on hand, crowd of 800. the majority of which seemed to have caught the old time polo fever and en- thusiasm in good shape. And no won- der, for 1t was game, just such a game as the old-time players used to put up. Though defeated. the crowd was quite good natured and there was no knocking, for the new men on the local team played brilliant games, especially Duggan and Woods. and it was the general opinion that Bridge port would make good. There were bleachers at both ends of the rink, and every available seat was taken The scribes were banished to the band coop.
 The game started very fast, and the terrific pace held good all the period, but there was no scoring Whipple and Duggan played a lever passing game, and Holderness shone as star in the Waterbury backfeld There were two melees in front of the Waterbury cage, and all expected to see Bridgeport break the spell. but Allen was on to his job with both feet and prevented the caging of the ball.
 Duggan is as fast as deer and lle took five out of the eight rushes from Murray. There was one very exciting moment in front of the Waterbury cage. when four players were fiat on the floor at the same time in the scramble to cage the sphere.
 The crowd was in an uproar, but was disappointed in not seeing a score. Duggan was playing a very fast game. Murray started the trouble by landing an unexpected goal, and then Loxson drove two pretty goals in succession. It rather took the breath of the crowd after the long period of no scoring.
 Loxson threw Dumpy Williams to the floor with a great strangle hold and was penalized with a foul. Then Woods took the ball from his own cage and drove 1t past Aliens legs for Bridgeport's only score. Then LOxson scored again and Bridgeport's chances for turning the tide were slim. They played fast game in the remaining few moments, but could not land the covered goal. Bridgeport l, Water bury 4. The lineup and score:

A good solution for cleaning sill

If the coarse salt and chopped

SERGEANT CLAIMS TROUBLE AT BROWNSVILLE WAS CAUSED
 BY CITIZENS.

Washington, Feb.-The shooting up of the town of Brownsville was in the form of an attack on the garri- son at Fort Brown, according to the testimony given by Mingo Sanders. former first sergeant of Company B of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, before the Senate Committee on Military Affairs. Sanders story created some thing of a stir in the committee as he testified that while running from his quarters to Company B,s barracks. after being awakened by the firing on the night of August l3, the shoot ing was going on, and it came from the town and was toward the hospi- tai on the military reservation. He said bullets were whizzing over his head. This is the first direct testi- mony given by any of the discharged negroes that the fire came from the town. Sanders said he had served in the army 25 years. months and 23 days, including the campaign in Cuba and three years in the Philip pines. He said he had never been cont martialed nor reprimanded. At Brownsville ne had a house to the left ef the company quarters and iii rectly in front of the hospital Al ter being awakened by the shooting. he said, he started on a run to B quarters. and jus after leaving his house the firing vas renewed. It came from the town, he said. the bull lets flying thick and fast over his head. As he reached the quarters of Company c, he saw that the men assembled there were excited and shouting to each other "I heard some one yell, fall in,' he said. Then someone shouted to get the guns, and another person answered that they could not get the guns as the racks were locked and the man with the key could not be found. Then Lieut.. Greer. l know his voice, said
 Break those racks open There has been a great deal of testimony given concerSine the broken racks of Com pany c, but no person had testified positively before as to the manner in which they were broken.
