EDDIE MURRAY GOING.
Popular Little Rusher Will Quit the
 Team This Week.

The local management has de- cided to dispense with the services of Rusher Eddie Murray at the end of this week. No other team in the league has carried six men all sea- son as has Waterbury and it has been found necessary now to curtail some of the expenses and SO Murray will be given his unconditional release. Murray has not been what you would call an aggressive player. but he has been a faithful one and the man agement appreciated that fact by giving him a weeks notice and also retaining him and paying him salary this week. Eddie is going back to his home in Massachusetts and will become clerk In a floral store once more. He made many friends while here who are sorry to see him go. but the fans realize that the local management do not need his ser vices just now. Lou Cronan may be taken on as the sixth man.

THE PUGILIS
LOOKING FOR
  TOMMY RYAN Hugo Kelly Seeks Scalp of the Champion-Funeral Services of George Dixon.' ''''.

It looks now as if Bill Papke would sidetrack Hugo Kelly for a match with Stanley Ketchell of California for the middleweight championship, to be decided at Colma on Washing tons birthday. James Coffroth has opened good inducements for a Papke-Ketchell fight, the weight to be 154 pounds three hours before en- tering the ring. Papke and Kelly have been dickering about a meeting ever since their recent hard fight in Milwaukee, which ended in a draw, but as they could not agree on cer- tain details Papke, it is said, will jump at chance to meet ketchell. Kelly's manager, incidentally, is up in arms over statement by Tommy Ryan to the effect that both Papke And Kelly are only pair of "dubs, and offers to bet s25 that Kelly can knock Ryan out in six rounds or for felt the entire purse. J If Ryan is not bluffing as usual here is chance for him to show that he is still the best middleweight in America. with a bunch of easy money on the side.

FIERCE PRELIMINARY GAME.

There may have been better played preliminary games than the one last night between the Brooklyns and the Hamilton Parks, but never has there been one that was so strenuous or 10 exciting. The spectators not only enjoyed polo, but they had the oppor- tunity of seeing the manly art 3f self-defense for the one admission. without the interference of Expert Barney Cahey or the controlling hand of Tom Dodds. It was the greatest rough house game that has ever been witnessed on the local floor and put the palmy days of 'Nobby" Knowlton away in the shade. My, but they did belt each other. with hockey. hand and foot, and Referee Hollywood dueked and ran from the waIIops that were coming his way but which were intended for others. Such a shrieking, yelling mob of packers of each of the teams could only be found in one other place. the asylum. Had stranger entered the Auditorium when the big clash came in the last period, he would have sprinted with a Duffy stride for the door. believing that he had got into a den Of lunatics. Almost every body was standing up. either on the floor or on the seats. and the shouts and screams could be heard in Naug- atuek. How the referee ever escaped alive, particularly after calling two fouls on Brooklyn and three 0n Hamilton Parks. which lost the latter a goal. Is a mystery. That he did eseape without scratch is one 1f the things he was thankful for when the var was over.

Referee Mike Doherty jumped into the rink for the big game and re. marked to the news writers. Boys if this game is as streuous as that amateur game, won't you please send word to my relatives and give me decent funeral" The promise was given, but it was not necessary, for, while the game was fast and at times rough, the referee was very patient and called but one foul, that on Barney Doherty in the last period. What fur" said Barney" For roughness" said Mike. "G'wan" said Barney. "G'wan yourself" said Mike and there the barley ended. Nick McGilvray hit the floor hard several times and each time entered protest, but he was overruled. Bob Loxson, as well, made dents in the playing surface and once he too pro- tested, but was declared out of the running. Broken skates were plenti- ful throughout and Providence suf- fered the most. The visitors were repeatedly changing players because of this and O'Brien and O'Hara were ! busy leaping in and out of the game. The delays marred the contest and ! took away some of the pleasure, but we won because we played the best and were on to our jobs on every occasion.
 Providence took first blood when Curtis smashed one behind Cusick iii something over two minutes of play ing. Then the speed became in- creased. McGilvray tried some of his famous juggling and lodging, but Fahey and Holderness got in his way, whenever Loxson of Daily did not get the ball away from him. Seven minutes had passed by when Fahey took the ball himself, while Loxson and Daily were keeping the visiting rushers engaged. Mary Ann Tip pitts screamed for help, but it was too late and Fahey dropped the ball behind him for our first goal Daly took the rush on the start off slammed it to the bank, where it was met by Loxson who returned 1t quick ly to Daily and the latter hammered it in in thirty-five seconds. Thus ended the first station.
 | fTONlu6nC6 was all OuIo III tue next session and Daly and Loxsor each made goal the first in GIG and the. second in 4:30. With the score 4 to 1 in our favor we could afford to rest bit and no more SCOT ing was done in this period by either side Just to keep our hand in and to give Jack Fahey another chance to show how easy it could be done Jack put another into the Providence netting after four minutes of play 1T the third session. In less than two minutes Curtiss scored another fol Providence. McGilvray and his co horts then fought desperately to pull up on our score, but they were met with a stonewall defense and every move was blocked. We were playing the kind of polo that stamps us as being too far down the ladder and the game closed with the score to B. The lineup and summary:

STEWART BEAT BADLY.

Jim Stewart of Brooklyn gave Frank Bradley of Boston such a fierce drubbing at the Long Acre A. C. last night that Eddie Hogan, the referee, stopped the contest in the fourth round to save Bradley.
 In the early rounds Stewart had all the best of 1t and before the fourth round 1t seemed that Bradley might not respond to the gong. The referee revived him with smelling salts.
 Then Stewart sailed in for fair and had Bradley reeIing all over the ring until the referee stopped the bout.
 Stewart is a heavy protege of Billy Elmer and this was only his second contest.

THE SPORTING NEWS.


 defeat seemed near. After four min utes of strenuous work the Brook lyns got their first chance to let themselves loose, when Harvey, by mistake, caged the ball for his op- ponents. The Brooklyn cheers were checked after four minutes more, when Larson did the trick for Ham, ilton Parks. In the same length of time Harvey sent the out casters stock skyward, when he caged the second goal for the Parks. Thus ended the first session.
 The second period waXed warmer and the biffing and banging became fiercer. In two minutes Byrnes scored once more for the Parks, and the case looked hopeless for the Brooklyns. Did they give up? Not they. They went into the scrimmage like wild men. They did about ev- erything they could to kill off their opponents, but they were met with stubborn resistance. After eight minutes of the most desperate kind of work Johnny Edmunds caged one for Brooklyn and the score stood 3 to in favor of the Parks with two fouls each. Then came that third and scrappy period. Brooklyn was fighting mad now and the Parks imbibed little of the insanity them selves. They hurled themselves against each other wherever they met. Finally Spellman was hurled to the floor by a Hamilton player and the third foul was called, which made the score tie. Strenuous in- deed became the battle now and the fans knew that something was going to happen outside of the ordinary polo game. Suddenly it did happen. Larson came down the rink with he ball and he went up against Lo lis Cronan. They locked arms with each other and it appeared as if Louis was trying to shove Larson into the cage. Into the scrimmage went the rushers on both sides, then followed the centers and halfbacks The fight was going on in front of the Brooklyn cage. Cleary, who was tending goal for the Parks, started down the rink and he too jumped into the fray. There they were, ten of them, kicking, punching and banging each other, while the specta- tors were cutting holes in the roof with their wild yells. The referee now decided that it was his turn 10 act. He jumped into the middle of the struggling ten and for moment he was lost to view. Suddenly something shot out of the midst of | the mass and the something landed in the middle of the rink. It was the referee and as he picked himself | up he was heard to remark, Il refuse to be murdered, let the good work go on." And on it went. Finally two officers of the law leaped into
 the fray. For moment they too
 were lost in the shuttle, but they finally separated the belligerents and the spectators dropped back in their seats and the game went on. Brook
 lyn now began to play better polo and they soon had the Parks on the
 defensive. In eight minutes Ed
 munds had scored goal, which put | the boys from over the bridge in the
 lead. Four minutes more and Spell
 man did the trick again and the
 game was put on ice and the Brook
 lyns sailed of the floor, after winning one of the most desperate games that

What was to have been q catch-as- catch-can wrestling bout, one fall to d finish, between Jim Calvin, the Irish athlete, and Emile Maupas, proclaimed as the champion of France" at the Park theater, Brooklyn, New York. Tuesday night, ended in small sized riot.
 Gus Ruhlin, who refereed the con- test, took hand in the hostilities when the Frenchman and Irishman be- came incensed and showed Monsieur Maupas how an American prize fight CT handles his fists.
 The bout ended amid excitement when Ruhlin grabbed Monsieur Mau- pas in the region of the Adams apple with one hand, passed him few with the other in places where they could be best felt. and hurled the Parisian of the stage. Then while pandemon- ium reigned Ruhlin tapped Calvin Oh the back, proclaiming him the win ner. ....
 There would have been no trouble had not Maupas insisted on using the strangle hold. when Ruhln cautioned him that the deadly neck hold was barred. Emile, speaking only French. could not understand. Once, twice, several times he locked his sinewy arms around Galvin's windpipe until the Irish lads eyes started from their sockets and his tongue protruded.
 Ruhlin cautioned Maupas and the Frenchman looked at him in dazed sort of way. \ few seconds later he once more locked the lrishman's gIIllet in fond embrace, and Jim got mad. He broke loose and started to rough it with Maupas. The latter, q powerful man of wonderful physique and an aggressive spirit, was right at home in this. and what he did to Calvin was a caution
 The house was in roar. with partisans for both men shouting. Gal win rushed at Maupas head bent low and the Frenchman grappled him once again in the strangle hold. Gal win could not move. The Frenchman's arms were locked under the Irishman's neck and blaze of rage was in his small eyes. With great strength he started 10 wrench Galvin's neck as though he would break it. Here Ru- hlln took a hand and grabbed the Frenchman by the neck and threw him of the stage Co the acrompain- ment of hopts and excited cries. Ruhlin probably prevented serious mishap when he acted as he dm. as to all it appeared as though MauI.as in- tended in his fury to twist the nerk off Calvin
