HOW THEY FINISHED.
Last Official Averages. Showing Hart,
 ford's Work.

Although there is no such thing as a Hartford roller polo team, the av. erages below are corrected up to last nights games and show that the Hartford players led in every de- partment at the time that the name was changed from Hartford to Bos- ton. Captain Hart has a good lead in goals made, Lincoln is ahead in rush. es and Sutherland has the best per centage among the goal tenders. Captain Jean of New Britain still leads in fouls and it is doubtful if any one robs him of this doubtful honor. The averages are as follows:

GREAT BATTLE THIS.

Providence, Jan 7.-In one of the hottest and fiercest exhibitions of polo seen in this city this season Providence defeated New Britain last night by score of ? to 1. There was lack of the finer points of the game, but abundance of the rougher features. The defense work on both sides was remarkably rug ged, Jean and Doherty pumping each other all through the contest. War ner was severely cut over the eye by blow from McGilvrays stick; Toner had two teeth loosened, and Duggan was hit in the mouth with the ball. During the last goal the fury of the game surpassed anything either team has shown this year. Attendance l. 800. The lineup:

THE DIAMOND
THE SAME ] OLD STORY
Danaher Reports Another Proposed Sale of New Haven-More
 Ball News.

New Haven, Jan 7.-Cornelius J.
 Danaher, owner of the New Haven
 base ball team of the Connecticut
 league, said that he would
 not manage the New Haven club the
 coming season. MT Dalaher says once more that there is deal pend | ing for the sale of the team and
 that something in the way of trans | fer of power will surely he consum- mated before the dandelions burst forth in gladsome bloom on the prairie at Savin Rock.
 The likelihood of a sale going through within few weeks is very bright just at the present time and the would-be purchaser is not New Havener, nor does he represent New Haven interests, says MT Danaher. It is understood that the most at tractive bidder for the local base ball holdings just at the present time is a well known major league base ball player whose star is slightly de- scendant. It is understood that this player would like to get the local team, whip it into some kind of shape and get into the harness him. self.
 Mckinney, the pitcher from Oyster Bay, who has been recommended to the Giants as a second Amos Rusie, was on exhibition at the New York club headquarters Saturday evening, and if appearances count for any thing in base ball player, then Mo Graw has the goods in his giant pitcher from the home of President Roosevelt.
 Mckinney is quiet, unassuming fellow, but his size and general de- velopment impresses you at once that he has something in him that savors of good base ball. Across the shoul- ders he is bigger man than Rusie was and he doesn't carry the superla- tive fat at the abdominal curve that adorned Rusie's makeup. He has never played ball anywhere else but on Long Island, but he had every thing faded that came down his way high in his stockings and weighs about 200 pounds.
 Secretary Nahon of the New York Americans said yesterday that it had been settled that Griffith, Chesbro, Orth, Kleinow, Stahl, Newton, Hogg, Keeler and Elberfeld would go to Hot Springs early in February to re- main for month before starting fo" the clubs training quarters at At lanta. It is possible that Griffith will not come east until the whole team arrives here in April. Griffith is in Montana and has so much cattle punching to attend to that he is anxious to remain there until it is time to go to the Springs. Chesbro and Fred Glade have written to Nahon that they will get into condi- ton early. Glade, who it was sup posed had retired from the game, says that he is anxious to wear a New York uniform. This wIII prob ably be unpleasant news for Man ager McAleer of the St Louis Ameri cans, who traded Glade to New York while laboring under the de- fusion that the star pitcher would never play ball again. A fat con- tract has been mailed to Glade, who i will probably sign 1t without delay.

JUDGE COWELL AFRAID
That ProhIbIilonisis VIII Put
 Him on for Governor.

Judge Cowell of the district court is in mortal fear of being nominated by the prohibition party for governor. He came up from the shore to-day. and between puffs on his corncob pipe in his favorite chair in the office of his court, stripped to the shirt sleeves, he expressed a hope that the prohibitionists would not repeat their error of five or six years ago by nom mating him for the head of their ticket.
 "This is a queer country" remark ed his honor, "A fellow knows not what the day may bring forth, or what's going to happen next. hope the prohibitionists will forget when they meet in convention, that such a fellow as George H. Cowell is on deck. When they nominated me six or seven years ago for governor, the honor was unbought and unsought as my friend Judge Lowe once said when he was first nominated for pro- bate judge. They would surely have elected me that time but someone gave me away. Some fellow gave 1t out that was the landlord of the biggest cafe in town, the place where more drinks are sold than in any other place, James w. Hodson's. They did not know that was merely the agent for the landlord; the fact that I had anything at all to do with the liquor traffic as they call it settled my hash for me that time. Political honors do not fit me as we'll now as they once did and I hope tho prohibitionists will let me alone"

MAN FOUND DEAD.
Body of William Waters Is Discovs
 cred After Long Search.

Plainville, Aug 13.-Willism Wa ters, an aged resident of this town. who had been living with his sister. Mrs Stewart, on Whitney street for many years. disappeared from his home Tuesday morning. It had been his custom to go to the center for provisions each morning and Tuesday morning he started as usual It was known that he stopped at Rogers's bakery. and also at tho Hotel Clarendon, but after that all trace of him was lost. His relatives became anxious over his where abouts when he did not return at noon, but concluded that he had gone to visit some friends. When he dij not return at night they notified the authorities.
 A searching party was organized yesterday morning by Sheriff Myron Rogers and Constable Downing and secured the woods for him all day. but without success. About 5.30 o'clock last night Mr Wilson. who owns the house. next to the Claren- don hotel, discovered the body of Waters in an outhouse behind his dwelling. He immediately notified the authorities and the body was re- moved. The mans face had become blue and 1t is thought that death was due to apoplexy. Mir Waters was 74 years of age.

FAB" HAYES ARRESTED
Man Who Made Speed Laws
 Also in the Tolls.

Attorney Abner P. Hayes did not know he was married until this morning. He did not wake up to the fact like the hero of Boucicault's song in the Colleen Bawn." but ascer- tained it through the columns of the Journal-Courier of New Haven which tells the story thus:
 One of the exciting events of yesterdays rather slow legislative outing at Momauguin was the tenn porary arrest in this city for speed ing an auto of Comptroller Brad street, Prosecutor Abner P. Hayes of Waterbury and Charles c. Allerton, who represented Middlebury in the last legislature and who was the father of the automobile bill. The three started of in the morning from Waterbury in Mrs Hayes's machine, her husband, 1t is said, neglected to inform her that he was. planning to take the auto. They came over the highways at a lively clip and then struck Whitney avenue and rolled along at a low rate of speed. Arriving at Elm street they stopped the machine in order to let peddler's wagon go by and further on stopped again until the street should become more clear of traffic. At this point member of the New Haven police force ran out into the street and ordered that the machine proceed no farther and that the occupants were under arrest. MT Hayes protested, saying that tho ma chine had not gone block in 15 minutes, but the protest did not go.
 You do not understand the law said the officer, You are arrested for speeding
 I understand the law perfect ly,' said Representative Allerton, be- cause framed it. Meanwhile Comp troller Bradstreet was getting im- patient.
 You will have to come to the police station,' said the officer and you can settle the matter there
 'It was finally decided that the officer should take the number of the machine and that the owner should be summoned to court in order to avoid further delay. Then the solons went on, not stopping to let any more peddlers' carts go by.
 About half way down to Momau- guin Prosecutor Hayes remembered that the car belonged to his wife and that she would be summoned to ap- pear in court. Here was some more food for thought, especially since Mrs Hayes did not know the machine was in use. Arriving at Momanguin the best legal talent in the state was called into the case and last night in this city 1t was decided that nothing further should be done.
 Tt is said that the policeman based his claim for overspeeding on the ground that the speedometer registered 37 miles. While the car may have gone at that rate over some of the country roads while in the city the machine moved very slowly"
 This morning Mir Hayes was asked to show cause why he had concealed the facts of his marriage from his friends in Waterbury and he said that was up to the newsmakers of the Journal-Courier, and that if they were so kind as to give him a wife without his knowing 1t, no doubt they would also annul the marriage.
