PITCHER TO BE A PRIEST.

Hazleton, Pa, Jan 1.-The base ball world is to lose one of it's most promising players in the person of Pitcher John Burke of this city, who is to be ordained to the priesthood next April. He is a student of St Bonaventure college, New York, and during his vacation periods he played professional ball, last year being with the Lancaster Tri-State league team and making a fine record in that league. For the two previous years he had been with the Jersey City team of the Eastern league. He has many offers to join clubs in the National and American leagues, but will be obliged to ignore them on ac- count of his coming ordination.

New York, Jan. 1.-John McGraws the Giants manager. is not going to take a trip to Toledo to see Roger Bresnahan despite the assertions of the Toledo correspondents. McGraw said that he still stood ready to do business with the Cincinnati club, but that Garry Hermann, the chief stocks holder of the Reds, was afraid to let any of his players go in exchange fof Bresnahan. The Giants manager said he had told Hermann frankly that ht thought Catcher Schlei and Lobsrt would greatly strengthen the Giants. but that Cincinnati would get in eu change one of the greatest ball plsyers in Bresnahan. McGraw also advised Hermann to give Bresnahan chance as manager of the Reds.

POLO
50 WEARY,
 VERY WEARY
Fans and Players Were Afflicted With the Same Malady-
 Results of Other Games.

What q pity it is at the beginning of the year to write about such T game as that was last evening. Per- haps the least said about it would be better, because sometimes you might forget yourself and say things that you would regret later Everybody should be happy beginning the new year and try to make others feel the same way, but it was evident last evening that some of our players started to be very happy and perhaps make others happy before the old year died out. New Britain was our opponent, but without "Soxy" Lyons, who has been lost in the shlIffle some- where between Billy Hanna's town and the western reservation. Kid Duggan was with the visitors, how
 ever, and the Kid was all the goods last evening, and he made our de- fense, with the exception of Cusick, feel sick at heart, as perhaps they were in body. We had Bob Loxson on the firing line, too, and he was given very good hand when he made his appearance. Bob was in no shape to play polo, and his oppon- ents realized that fact and took goot. care of him. At that Bob played bet ter than did some others, who had no hurts other than those inflicted on themselves. In fact. Loxson and Gu sick and Murray, when he came on, were about the only chaps last night that felt they were in polo game. The others were listening for the first ring of the chimes.
 The number of stops that tie New Britain goal tender has credited to him will tell the whole story itself. It shows conclusively that he had the picnic of the night. On the other hand the Cusick boy was the busiest lad on the surface and he stopped them coming from all directions, and although defeated, he has nothing to be ashamed of, for the bulwarks in front of him were sadly battered and broken. There was nothing to it but New Britain from the very beginning, and there is no doubt but that sym pathy for Bob Loxson on many occas- ions made the visitors miss many more opportunities to score. Cusick stopped one in the last period that nearly put the lad out of commission. It came from the hockey of Jean and they don't come lightly from that stick. It struck Cusick over the heart and grabbing the cage with one hand he turned partly around and dropped face downward. All the players from both sides raced 10 his assistance and he was revived after a few minutes and pluckily resumed his position. Daly scored the only goal we made in the last period and we were luck to get it. It was not a good game to look at and the fans were pretty we'll disgusted. The line up and summary:
 Waterbury, New Rritajin.

THE PRELIMINARY GAME.

Louis Cronan came very near los- ing the game for his team last even ing when he hooked a ball into his own cage and gave the Second Wards the lead in the race. It was a great battle, that preliminary game and paved the way for what was expect ed to be a corker in the big game, but which proved SO disappointing. In the first period both sides scored one goal each. In the second the only goal made was that by Cronan and the fans gave him the merry ha ha, while Louis looked like a bent cent. In the third period Brooklyn came into her own again and scored the tying goal. The period ended In that way. An overtime session of five minutes was played but there was nothing doing by either team and a tie It remained. The lineup and sum.
