NEW BRITAIN
 HERE TONIGHT Two Giants of the Polo World Will Clash = Results of Last Nights
 Games.

The greatest giants in the polo world will face each other this even ing when Waterbury and New Brit ain clash on the. 1l0cr of the Eagles
 hall. There is no denying the fact that Billy Hanna has strengthened his team just about as strongly as has Waterbury. In fact, Eddie Hig- gins says himself that New Britain has one of the best teams in this or any other league. There will be but one really familiar face on the visit ing team, that one Fred Jean The others are all westerners and where they come from reports tell of their wonderful polo prowess. Mercer and Harkins, the two rushers, were the pile drivers who kept Canton to the front in the Interstate race "Soxy" Lyons is at halfback and what work the fans in this city have seen "Soxy'' do, has been all to the good. Ramon, big as the side of a house, will stand in front of the goal, and, great Scot, hoy he can kick them out. It will be a great fight and no mistake, but the locals are going out for that game with all bands playing and every rooter rooling. We will line up just about as We did last Tuesday night in the start off. Higgins and Jason will oa on the rush line, Fahey at center, McGrath at halfback and Cusick in the goal.

 Mercer. Harkins. Jean, Lyons and Bannon form quite a combination, but We believe Higgins, Jason. Fahey. McGTath and Cusic!, can un- lock the safe.
 The Bridgeport fans and Bridge port papers were sOIely disappointed by the showing of their stars here Tuesday night. Tbcy are wondering where they are at.

Western Crack Proved Too Scientific
 For Big SWede.

Lowell, Mass, Jan 23.-Frank A. Gotch and Hjalmar Lundin wfestled for the heavyweight championship of America before large crowd at the opera house Tuesday night. Gotch won, getting two falls in succession after d gruelling series of twists. The first fall came in Fl minutes and 33 seconds and the second came in 1G minutes and 21 seconds. 90.
 GOtch, who is touring the United States, meeting all corners Just at pres ent gives out some interesting dope" in regard to his famous toe hold with which he has got many wrestler gO- ing. .t.
 My favOrite pastime is found in ex- ecuting my world famous toe hold.
 This is q dangerous hold and causes the most intense pain imaginable. It seems to stretch every ligament of the legs and back. When this hold is properly executed the victim imagines that he is some kind of string in- strument and that some one is tight ening up the keys to see how much strain the strings will stand before breaking.
 Practically each one of the world expert mat artists has some pet holds in which he places great confidence. In the majority of instances each hold is the wrestler's own invention or has been adopted by him owing to some particular feature of his style of wrestling or physical makeup that makes him particularly effective in its dangerous execution"
