\. H. H. s. EWES SUCCESS.
Local Basketball Team Playing We'll
 and Out of Debt.

The threat of Head-master Cushing two weeks ago that he would cause the disbandment of the New Haven High School basketball team if they did not clear their debts and win few more games has had its effect
 The team has all during the season played pretty good ball but the lack or spirit among the students of that school caused a financial strese and debts which increased with every game. At the time Dr. Cushing made the threat and then gave the team two weeks grace. the basketball team was about sS0 to the bad. A new manager was elected. namely MT. Bird, who was the star tackle of the High School football team of last fall. He has han dled the team so we'll that a new spir- students feel 1t their duty to attend each game which is played in this city.
 The basketball team has won every game since then and have pulled them selves out of debt. Saturday evening the New Haven five played and de- feated the Yale Consolidated aggrega- tion at Anderson's Gymnasium by the score of 25 to 23. Sake and Captain Dustin were the stars.
 The ClintonC outplayed and defeated the Carleton's in the preliminary gams at Anderson's Gymnasium Saturday night.

Rome. Threatened With Confagration,
 Calls on other Cities.

Rome. N. Y, Feb. 2.--In the teeth of the widest blizzard that has swept Oneida county this winter. firemen Of three cities fought for five hours to- day against fire which before being controlled. caused total loss of quarter of a million dollars in the business section Three buildings oc- enrSied by commercial houses were de stroyed. and fourth was damaged as was also the Arlington hotel For time it was feared that confiagra- tion could not be averted and the local department, unable to stay the flames that were borne along by stiff gale from the west, appealed to Utica and syracuse. each of which cities sent steamer and company of men. There was heavy fall of snow at the time and the mercury was but a few de- prees above zero. The firemen suffer ed intensely and many sustained se- we're frost bites.

MANY AT THE GAMES
Waterbury the Topnotch Town, With About 2,900 Polo
 Crazed Fans.
INTRIcACIEs OF SCHEDULE
Halls Not Available on Home Nights Makes the Task of Evening
 Up a Hard One.

The average attendance has been increased throughout the circuit since the reconstruction of the National roller polo league.
 New Haven had its record crowd during the past week, a trifle over 2,000, and in the other cities in the circuit new attendance marks have been registered during the past two weeks.
 Waterbury is perhaps the top notch town, with 2,9oO. while New Britain and Providence are not far behind in their best figures. In Boston the home team has been drawing well, under adverse conditions, and it is expected that when the new bleachers are in place the crowds at the Hub will equal equal those of any place in the circuit.
 There. has been much comment
  about the schedule by sporting writers in the circuit, but in most cases the critics do not understand the difficult ties encountered in routing the teams
 The geographical outline of the present circuit is peculiar one, and might be termed a three-cornered af- fair. Then, too, four of the seven clubs have duplicate playing nights al home and, with the difficulties en- countered in changing home nights because the halls are not available the task of evening up the inter- club series Is not an easy one.
 If the game were more evenly dis tributed throughout the week the schedule making would come easier but six of the fourteen games of the week are punched on Monday and Tuesday nights, making 1t imperative occasionally that every team be sched- uled to perform on these nights. This condition breaks up twogame jumps at the end of the week, when the Con- necticut clubs might be sent to Rhode Island for consecutive games, and vice versa. a.--Ilartford Globe.

 Fair to Rival Cricket.

Hamilton, Bermuda. Feb. By de- grees the great American game of baseball is awakening enthusiasm among local lovers of sport. At one time the Bermudians looked down on the game and merely looked at it as the old English game of rounders, but to-day they are awakening to the fine points of the sport
 On Wednesday, the 29th, very large crowd of tourists and locals witnessed game between the Hamilton hotel and the Hamilton Cricket club. It was one of the most exciting games ev- CT played here. Up to the sixth inning champion ball was played The score was to 0 in favor of Hamilton hotel, and no errors had been made.
 Flood for the locals made the most remarkable catch ever seen here in the deep left field. Doc also made light ming double play unassisted Dr, Die kenson was also playing in great order There is great rivalry between the Hamilton and Princess hotels, who are playing a series of games for a cup In fact baseball is getting good hold in this island and will eventually be as popular as cricket.

DEPENDS ON PITCHER.
SIabman Can Make or Break First
 Baseman,

A pitcher can make or break a first baseman. If the pitcher shirks and fails to help the haseman in the field ing of infield hits the latter Is bound to be thrown off lfis stride and fail ;o cover the ground he otherwise would
 Naturally first baseman in these days is expected to cover as much expected to come tearing in At other time he is expected to play deep and as far toward seeei1'i base as is possi- ble. With a slow pitcher the territory he will cover is limited
 Give him a pitcher that is fast and a good fielder and he will take more chances and play deeper game. de- pending on the twirler to cover the bag in case the ball is down between first and second Give him slob slab man who does not cover the bag when he should. and he will be forced to keep much closer to the first base.
 "Jigggs" Donohue. of the White sox. admits that much of his renown as a cracking good fielding first base
 
 man came as a result of the assist ance given him by the pitchers, of tho club.
 While some of the White Sox ,tyirl- CTS were not at first good fielding pitchers. each has had it pounded into him hy Charley Comiskey until he in ally acquired the habit of doing his duty. As a result of this coaching the pitchers of. this club led all rivals in last seasons fielding averages. The Athletics were next to the White Sex twirlers in this particular work. Tie Cleveland corps of pitchers ranked third.
 There were number of ait,,ers who made good fielding averages. lu; there were quite number who did not make much of a record at covar- ing first base This Is one of ihe most important requirements If a pitcher. and every manager should pay especial attention to coaching his pitchers in this line.-Atlanta Cons l. tution-

MADE CLEAN SWEEP Boneyards Finish Week Tied for Lead With Jeans New
 Britainites.
PROVIDENCE HERE TUESDAY
McGilvray's Band Still Looking for
 TrOublc-Waterbury Thurs day Night.

Making a clean sweep of last weeks slate the New Haven roller polo team has again that glory and supremacy of first place which it enjoyed two weeks ago and which was robbed from them by the appearance from the west of Interstaters from the defunct Vest ern league who stepped into this league, playing for full week with big advantages. The rushers used all luminum rollers, which proved to give them decided advantage in speed and aid in balancing. The goalten- ders wore guards much wider than those worn in this league previous to the appearance of the Western play CTS, It was next to impossible to slide the ball between the guards and the sides of the cage.
 The meeting of the magnates was effective in that it abolished the al- luminum rollers and called for the use of shin guards not over nine inches wide, when the new players were brought down to the same level as other players.
 Bones aggregation, newly reorgan- ized, started the week by tripping New Britain twice and then performing a similar trick on the Pawtucket Tigers Saturday night at Providence we gain ed a victory without struggle, the game being forfeited.
 Providence, the victim of their stpbbornness Saturday night, will be here tomorrow evening and may at tempt to again perform as they did in their own rink. Referee Tommy Leahy has been authorized to offlciate at this concert and if the Grays balk again they will kick themselves. Hardy, who is claimed to be at least Farrell's equal. will be one of the features of the strong Providence quintet tomorrow and the local fans will thus be given an opportunity to see the two men fight for supremacy.
 Thursday night the Boneyards play in Bridgeport and Friday night Wa terbury will visit here
 1. !. Mccarthy, who previous to Schif fer's appearance on the local team ] played first rush, has been released and will probably go to Bridgeport ] Woods will be back in the game to- morrow night although he has not quite recovered from his sore throat. Saunders will be still kept as extra man. Bone is not quite decided as to whether he will play the entire game tomorrow night or not, but doubt less will play part of the game.
