]: Drives for the Cage

The Journal Courier is the only mor- ming paper publishing accounts and summaries of the National league polo games.
 Charming bits of music from behind the scenes and Walter Tibbetts coml- cal performances made the polo game an unusually delightful event
 Saunders cast off his Friday night togs and played in his usual brilliant manner. He may still be termed a stone-wall defense.
 Barney Doherty was given quite a reception at his first appearance this season at the Qnirnipiac rink. He Is far from being g favDrite here.

GOOD PREP. PLAYERS
Fine Athletes Who Will Materi- ally Strengthen the Col
 lege Eleyens.
YALE GETS DICK MERRITT
Only Player of Andoyer Team, Which Defeated Exeter, to Graduate
 Next June.

The big colleges will get number of star players from the leading pre- paratory schools this year. Andover and Exeter, the greatest feeders, lean. toward Yale and Harvard, while Exc. ter will send some material to Prince- | ton.
 The boys winning their spurs on these academy elevens are in great de- mand-more so than the players of other prep. schools of the country. A a rule they later attain fame on tho big college teams. Exeter has sent many brilliant players. to Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
 The two latter have been benefited this year by many players who, while only on the freshmen teams. give promise of making the varsity elevens. in their second year, the only reason for their failure to play on the varsity team being due to the freshman rule that went into effect a year ago. .Har-: yard has not received. any of the Granite state and academy stars since Karl Brill made his appearance at Cambridge
 At Andover Yale is the cry with the boys, and it is to this preparatory school, more than to any other, that the Ellis owe great deal of their. foot ball glory. The school. up to three years ago, was coached by former Yale stars, when change was made pr. Jack O'Connor and Lillard of Dartmouth were chosen to instruct thu boys. Each turned out a winning combination, the former in 1905 and Lillard this fall.
 One of the members of this year'S Andover eleven, Capt. Dick Merritt one of the best types of school playerA will enter Yale. He is the only pl6ver of the aggregation which conquered Exeter last month to graduate in Juno Of the substitutes to that clever con1-l bination of speed and power, O'Con-l nor who alternated at guard and half back, believes in Yale, as does another guard. The latter stands feet inches and Weighs 1S2 pounds. x --- Brooks, a hale back; Dunn, an end: Bradley. a guard, and Clarke, an end. are others of the Yale persuasion, and will go to New Haven and try for positions on big Blue eleven.
 Exeter will be more unfortunate in losing valuable material than Its rival. Capt. J. D. Power, of the team which went down in unexpected defeat to Andover, while triffe undecided as to his future, will in all probability bring up at Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. Baker the clever end; F. J.. Loftus, the quarter back, and. Full Back Curtis will try for Yale's fresh- men eleven next year.
 Princeton has on few occaslons been favored with Andover boys, and in almost every instance they have made good, as Eddie" Dillon, captain- elect of the Tigers for 1908.

TWO CLOSE GAMES ROLLED
Trimmers Trim Algonquins and Cres- cents Lose Three Straight
 to Siwash.

That New Haven bowlers are popu- lar people and much in demand on fes- tival occasions is evident from the fact that on New Years eve there were but two league games bowled. Others were postponed to allow the boWlers to make a strike elsewhere. Even if they made few strikes. 1t is well known they could not be spared where feasting and jovi- ality were the headliners.

SEN. MONTGOMERY
Resigns His Position to Take
the Stump for Repub-

The resignation OF Sam Montgom-
cry is verified by the Charleston
Mail, which says:
Senator Sam Montgomery, of
Preston county, who has been en-
ployed in the Office OF State Tax Com
missioner White for the past two
months, has tendered his resigna-
tion as an employe of that depart
ment OF the state government.
Senator Montgomery is an able
speaker and as his entire time will
be consumed on the stump this fall
working for the success of the whole
Republican ticket, he felt that It was
necessary to resign as an official Of
the tax department. The Preston
Senator will make an extensive tour
through the several counties of the
state, many requests being made to
the state committee for his services
during the. campaign, which will open
on the 18th of the present month"

Is Sent
By GOff
Demanding That His Name
Shall Not Be Used
in Politics.
REED RECEIVES TELEGRAM
From Him at Milwaukee of a
Positive Nature in
This Respect.

Judge Nathan Goff will not run for
governor of this, state. That is set
tied in a telegraphic message from
him in Milwaukee, where he is the
guest of his son, Guy Goff.
Diligent efforts have been made by
opponents of Charles w. Swisher to
bring Judge Gotf into the campaign
as a compromise candidate, efforts
doubtless without the slightest sane
tion on his part, as he has been far
from the scene of state politics since
last Monday, when he and Mrs. Goff
departed for Milwaukee. Most all
the talk about Judge Con becoming
the nominee OF the party was in
dulged in this week during his alb
sence, and 1t is inferred from his
message that when the news OF such
talk reached him, he at once sent the
telegram strongly intimating his dis
approval of such mention.
While 1t was the general belief
here that Judge Con would not be-
come actively identified with politics
and would doubtless object to the use
of his name in political matters, the
telegram, though wholly unexpected,
confirmed that belief.
Stuart F. Reed, Republican nomi-
nee for secretary of state and close
friend of Judge Gof1, received the
telegraphic message at o'clock last
night as follows and made 1t public
at once as directed by Judge Con-:
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 4, 1908
Hon. S. F. Reed.
"Clarksburg, W. Va,
Kindly advise that my name must
not be used at this time in connection
with political matters. Make 1t plain
and positive.
NATHAN GoFF."
The message fully sets forth Judge
Goff's determination not to part.cl-
pate in politics and as stated strong
ly intimates his disapproval of the
suggestion that he become the Re
publican nominee. 1t puts a quietus
on such agitation and his wishes
should be respected.
