AT THE MEETING.

The trouble at New Britain Satur-
 day night, when Cusick, the Water
 bury goal-tender, hit Schlffer, the New Britain first rush. was discussed at the meeting in New Haven yester- day. The managers decided that as
 Doherty had. taken action on the matter there was nothing left for them to do. Referee Doherty in de- ciding the case told Cusick that he would either fine him $10 or else he
 tCusick) would have to leave the game. Cusick went out and the Wa terbury five made several changes. In this action, Doherty went past the limit allowed in cases of this kind. He could fine Cusick, but he was not allowed to give the Waterbury goal tender the alternative of either paying the fine of s10 or leaving the game. The referee was excited and under the circumstances desired to settle the matter without a row. His method although not according to the rules of the league will be ac- cepted for that one case. The Ma tional league magnates have decided not to take any action. Cusick will not have to pay the fine, but can return and play.

STORY IN COURANT.

Kid Cusick, Waterbury's fresh young goal tend, precipitated a fight at the polo game between New Brit ain and Waterbury Saturday night. Cusick tripped up Schiffer. and the referee blew his whistle. An instant later Waterbury made a goal. but it was not counted. Cusick came up behind Sehifcr and deliberately struck him with his hockey. The fans boiled over with rage. and some of the crowd broke down the railing in their eagerness to enter the polo arena. The police jumped in and protected the Kid or it would have gone hard with him. Two fouls were called on him and he was fined SIC for insulting talk. He left the floor and was suspended by Manager MeMshOn. Hoiderness went into the goal circle and Swanson of this city filled out the Waterbury team.

THE DIAMOND
ONE OF THE
 FUNNY PLAYS
Ball Was Thrown From a Hay Loft and Won the Game me-Base-
 ball Notes.

One of the funniest plays that ever
 was pulled off happened years ago at
 Bowling Green. Ky. There was a
 league among the small cities of the Blue Grass state that was a wonder. The teams were filled with young sters from the Cincinnati bottoms, and among those playing in the cir cult were Barry Mccormick, the shortstop; Big Mick RyaA the Texas league first baseman; George Yea ger, the little Boston and Detroit catcher, and swarm of others. There were no railroad fares paid. The teams travelled in big wagon cites, and half of the players hid under the seats when the outfit passed through the toll gates. The game was between Bowling Green and Paris, on which team little Stan Arthur, afterward a crack catcher with Toledo, was catching Brownie Foreman. who then weighed in two ounces lighter than a balloon. The ball park was a remodeled COW pas ture, and oyer in the corner back of third base there was a stable. In lHlS game bONllHS NIeeH WdS Wlu- ming until the ninth, when Paris ral- lied and tied the score. There were two out in Bowling Greens half of the inning, when Shillito, who was playing center for Bowling Green, came to bat and hit a liner straight over third. Lantz, the Paris left fielder, chased the ball. which curved outward after striking fair and rolled straight into the open door of the stable. Lantz raced inside the stable-and the moment he en- tered the door Mccormick and Yea l ger, who had been coaching. ran out, shut the door. drove the spike into the staple and yelled for Shillito to ! come on home. The Paris crowd l was wild as Shillito turned third | and dashed for the plate. But just ] then something, happened. Lantz. who had crawled up into the hay now, threw the ball out of the win dow and nipped Shillito at the plate by five feet, completing what per- haps was the most astounding play ever made.

 Bridgeport, Norwich, Meriden and
 New Haven being ahead of this city
 and New London and Derby in the

 four games, led in batting with All,
 while Luskey was the real leader
 with BOT. Among the players who

 Murphy, Drew, On the infeld; Mat thews and Luskey, catchers; Linder- man, Waller, Clancy and Miran. pitchers; WeisDecker, Colliflower, O'Rourke, Courtney and Cavanaugh, outfielders. Roger Connor was a member of the team at one time dur ing the season.
 Bridgeport's team that year could hit bit. There were Manager O'Rourke and Tom Ivers, catchers; Pat Dougherty, Phil Corcoran and Charley Mccullough. pitchers; Yale, first base; Mickey Delaney, second base; Cusick, third base; Terry Rog- CTS, shortsto?; Joe Reagan, center; Ezra Morgan, left, and Dougherty, when not pitching, right. Dougher| ty, Manager Jim, Yale, Reagan and Morgan hit over 300, Dougherty, now with Chicago Americans, lead ing the league with .375. The whole league could hIt in those days, no less than twenty-five men reaching and going over the 300 mark. Dan ny Murphy was in the league that year, too, with Norwich, and he hit for .3S6. Manager Jim hit for .330, Jerry Denny for .311 and Roger Connor for 300. Pretty good for the vets. Only thirteen of the men in the league then played at all last season.

Referee Dougherty called another foul and fined Cusick $10, which he was ordered to pay at once or quit the floor. Manager McMahon protested that it was a case of giving it to the under dog, but the referee refused to take back his order. Manager McMahon and Cusick refused to pay the fine and Cusick quit the game and Holder ness took his place.

CUSICK GETS
 A RAW DEAL All Versions of That Scrap in New Britain - New Haven Won
 Again.

| fight between Kid Cusick of this city and Schiller of New Britain, which took place at the polo, game in New Britain Saturday night. that we quote them all, as follows:
 BY TELEGRAPH.
 New Britain, Jan 13.-In the wild est excitement ever seen at a polo game in this city, New Britain de- feated Waterbury, Saturday night, by the score of 12 to 4. The contest itself did not furnish the hair-raising episode, but d scrap between Cusick and Schiller, i'll which the Water bury goal tender made a vicious at tack on the New Britain rusher, pre- cipitated small riot.
 After the first period had gone about eight minutes, Cusick hit Schiffer with his hockey and Ref cree Doherty promptly called a foul on the Waterbury man. Order was restored and play resumed, when Cusick left the cage and made an- other attack on Schiller, who was some feet away. Then about fifty spectators swarmed onto the floor, tearing down the netting and part of the side banks. It required the combined efforts of the police and players to protect Cusick from the mob.
 Referee Doherty gave Cusick the alternative of leaving the floor or suffering fine of $10. After a con- ference with Manager McNahon, Cusick left the game and Holderness went into the circle, playing a credit able game.
 After this the contest was one sided, although New Britain played a brilliant game. Warner and Dug gan were the stars. The lineup and n

West Hartford trim med Waterbury when the local boys went up there a short time ago, and the Crosby boys were prepared for them Saturday. It was closely fought battle for the first few minutes and then the locals began to get in their good work and when the first half ended. the score stood 23 to ! in favor of Waterbury. The second half saw the locals run away from their opponents and win out by the big score of 2S to :. So many fouls were called that it was difficult to record them.
