Another one of those farcical eXhibi- tons, that the visiting polo teams hand the local players whenever they feel SO disposed and wished to he called a polo game" was what the Brockton quintet headed by the well known Barney" Doherty placed before the handful or two of enthusiastic faithful /adherents Of the popular winter sport who journeyed to tho Quinnlpac rink last evening Despite the fact that the visitors are the sole possessors of the last place in the league standing the fans expected Co sec something more interesting and exciting than the anna tcur game which generally precedes the big game. But such was not the luck
 Beginning in the first period with frequent interruptions and withdraw als to the ante-room tho Brockton play CTS mainly offending and ending only after the master of ceremonies. Tom my Leahy blew his whistle announcing the game ended was the farce complete in every detail But during the inter- val between the first and last act of the comical farco many things happen ed which if the Brockton team was run well would not and should not happen
 In the beginning of the second period Phil" Jason the visiting first rush col llded with the board fence which sur rounds the rink. Result--a broken rib. After vainly attempting to continue play tho polite Mir Jason announced that he could not continue Then the announcement. Brockton had no sixth man. After pickering and stalking about for a time, during which the ''s4, GOO" organ rendered several mourn ful tunes and in which the local man ager tried to stall off the requests of the Brockton management to allow Schiffer, the New Haven player to en- ter the lists of the visitors. the New Haven manager finally consented
 Thus with our own Dutch Schiffcr against us arrayed in a New Haven travelling in part. and home in part, uniform, the game was resumed At that time the score was 10 in favor of Barney" Dohertys quintet but after that the local boys seemed to have things their own way and finally sue ceeded in trouncing thelr opponents by a score of 3-2
 But word for the game itself New CT in the history of the league season this year has such an exhibition heen put up. Lacking all manner of pass ing and scientific work the match was but a slugglng contest the players ap- bearing to deem fl their bounden duty to ram out one of the encaglng boards,
 Warner was really the star of the To- cal team lf there was one. The way he captured all the rushes was really worthy of mention The gamo did not start in reality until the honorable, Mir Doherty made one of those awful swipes at Frank Warner thinking the local player responsible for some i'll of his The first period was all the yis-

The three men event was really pro- ductivc of some of the fastest and most exciting bowling ever seen on the local alleys, The scores especial ly those of the home team, were the highest that local doyotees of the sport have ever seen in a match of his kind. The high three string totals of the three home players were all well over the six century mark and but for the falling off by Collett every one of the contestants would have passed the six hundred mark.
 The first game was the only ono the visitors could capture in the event, the scores of which follow:

USE AMBERGRIs FOR CREASE
Sailors of Bark Waste S20,O00 of tho
 Stuff Unwittingly.

San Francisco, June 24.--Greasing maets, sea boots, and oil-skins with ambergris, valued at approximately S4O0 a pound, sailors on the British bark Antiope wasted about $20,0O0 worth of the stuff unaware of it's valua It was not until yesterday that John Mathieson, master of the vessel learn ed that he had let a fortune slip through his fingers. A small part of the grease" had been saved and this was identified by an Oakland druggist as ambergris.
 The Antope reached here from New castle, Australia, a few days ago. On the way Ip, in latitude 20 degrees south a large quantity of ''grease" was seen flaoting on the surface of the ocean, and, calm prevailing, the men man. aged to scoop up several bucketfuls of the stuff. The grease was found excellent, and 1t was used for slushlng down the masts. the balance being used by the men on their oil-skins and boots. The captain says that much more could have been collected, but thought the amount picked up by the men was enough.

 The proverbial beaver could not be more busy than the vote -getters Their efforts are contagious, All know that 1t will take ballots to win and they know that now is the time to get the ballots; the time for wait ing and trusting to the goddess of fortune Is gone, Every one who will win must guard every channel leading to the ballot box,
 Organization Is being perfected as the time draws near and every indi- cation is that there will be tremen- dous vote. To a casual observer this is more than evident. Already the young ladies are being prompted by more experienced friends to pull every wire possible.
 Only after great effort can the trips to Washington. Philadelphia, Atlantic City and New York be ob- tained, yet the young ladies in the contest are alive to the situation and capable of coping with any feature that arises. An admirable trait Is be- ing demonstrated by the contestants and that is KEEPING AT IT It he- comes more noticeable as the contest progresses.
