POSTPONE ELECTION
Football Men Will Await the Vote of George R. B.
 Berger.
BALLOT RESULTS IN A TIE
B 'dcs, Burch and Coy the Three Men
 j. the Contest for the Honor.

Because of the fact that George Refs Bart Berger, who was one of the sub- stitute hacks in the game against Har- yard, tie vote between two of the candidates resulted at the meeting of the Y football men last night for the election of captain.
 A statement given out after the meet ing was to the effect that owing to the closeness of the vote the election of a captain had been indefinitely postponed Berger is on his way back from Mexi. co and ought about now to be neal Havana.
 It has not been decided whether tc cable to Berger for his vote or to walt until he arrives. Should the latter course be adopted 1t is probable that all will vote again and that the third man will drop out.
 The three men for whom there were votes are: Arthur Edward Brides of Brockton, Mass, who has played two years on the varsity, and one year on the freshman eleven; Robert Boyd Burch of Cincinnati, who played for a few minutes in the game against Har- yard this year, and Edward Harris Coy of New Haven, Yale's wonderful fullback, during the past season.
 Brides Is junior in the medical school and the captaincy has never gone to a medical school man. He is the logical candidate, is popular with the other members of the eleven, and some of the members of the eleven re- member what happened when the cap- taincy was withheld from "Ar' Sharpe.
 Burch is a clever football player, but has been in hard luck through his course. This year he had ptomaine poisoning, a sprained ankle, and injur- ed shoulder and again ptomaine pois- oning. He played a few minutes in the game against Harvard and won his Y He is a clever track man and would undoubtedly be captain of the track team next year, should he not be captain of the football eleven. He is an academic junior
 Coy is an academic sophomore and last year was captain of his freshman eleven. If he is not elected this year, he will be chosen captain the follow ing year without a doubt.

FAILED IN PROJECT
Salem and Brockton Sought the New Haven Polo
 Team.
ALSO LOCAL FRANCHISE
Desired to Rob the Local Fans, But Bone and Players Could
 Not Sec it.

A startling disclosure follows Salem's and Brockton's applications for fran chises in the National Polo league and their failure to obtain such franchises, a fact which has been hidden away and concealed from the fans of this city, is that these two cities were sheep in wolf's clothing and were playing for the New Haven polo team. Brockton and Salem have been since the open ing of the season interested in the league. Then there came an apparent chance for them to find a place in the midst of the Connecticut, Massachus- etts and Rhode Island teams. New Haven's fast aggregation, which was steadily creeping up into the lead was reported up in Massachusetts to be cn the verge of destruction. It was re- ported that the men were not getting as high salaries as the other men of the other National league teams, were dissatisfied and were looking for an- more money.
 The spirit which wins so many games for the Boneyards was again displayed when they were ascertained of Salem's and Brockton's actions. The players denounced the visitors and vowed to alone satisfy the hungry polo fans of this ctiy and to stand by George Bone, their manager Bone himself was firm in his resolution to do all in his power for the interests of the New Haven fans.
 As is universally known the Elm City the best polo aggregations in the league. The team Is light, but fast. Mccarthy at first rush is only second to Lincoln in his ability to capture rushes. Bone, when in form, and he generally is in such state, has no superior on the floor. Farrell, who was deemed far insuperior to Jean at cen ter, has developed much powerful form that Jean might be termed second fid- dle to him. Saunders and Mullen are New Havens weakest points, but their hard work often alone causes the sue cess of the team. Saunders is handi- capped in that his ability to skate is limited, but what he loses in this he makes up in aggressiveness and su- perb blocking Mullen is cratic, very good when good, but very poor when poor
 The National league has taken no &C., tion on Salem's and Brocktons appli- cations and it is positive that the two cities will not find seat in the 1 league

OFFICERS SELECTE,
Miss Prudden Elected President of the Visiting Nurse
 Association.
socIETY's CONDITION GOOD
Report Shows That the Income for the Year Nearly Met the
 Full Expense.

The Visiting Nurse association held its third annual meeting yesterday af- ternoon at the United church chapel. The treasurer's report was read, show ing the organization to be in four ishing condition. In the past year $1,673 has been receivel in contribu- tions, and that with the income from the endowment fund, amounting to $559 and small sum from patients who could pay little has about cover- ed the amount of expenses.
 The expenses being s2.50S.17, includ- ing salaries of nurses, car fares, medi. cines, etc.
 The report of the secretary showed . great growth in the work of the asso- citation. The nurses have been busy all the time and extra work was often re- quired. The association engaged an extra nurse for three months, during the past year, so that one of the reg ular nurses could give all her time to the public schools for which work the board of health have granted an ap- propriation. Tuberculosis patients have furnished the largest field for help and for these funds are much needed to | buy wholesome food which the regular income of the association is not equal to.
 | The Sarah J. Hume memorial fund will support one nurse when 1t reaches $25,OOO. The money already invested yields small return and the other ex- penses of the association are paid by contributions. Donations of clothing, articles for the sick room, magazines. flowers and especially old linen will al- ways be gratefully received The head quarters of the association is ct DO | Orange street.
 The meeting as a whole was very pleasant and interesting. One of the nurses related several incidents of the work of the year, both pathetic and | humorous, arousing much sympathy and showing the fine work which is being done.
 One of the doctors of the hospital staff and also a member of the nurses training school expressed their sympa- thy for, and offered all the aid in their power to the association.
 I The following officers were elected for the coming year: President, Miss Lillian E. Prudden; vice presidents, Mrs Thomas G. Bennett, Mrs. Henry w. Farnam and Mrs. Ethel Carmalt; secretary.

Boston Five Make Their First
 Appearance Here This z a Evening. sr.
NATIONAL LEAGUE RECORDS
Hart Still Leader in Goal Making Mccarthy Second to Lincoln
 in Bushes.

The Boston polo five will make their first ascension in this city tonight be- fore what Is expected to be the larges st crowd yet in evidence at the Quinni- piac rink. The fight for supremacy in the league has now reached a stage where a slight fall may prove fatal, and in order to move in the circle of at least hope New Haven must win the contest tonight.
 Last week New Haven won three out of four games, twice trimming Pawtucketand on Saturday night Providence.
 Last week was rather disastrous for the Grays as but one of the four games played was won. The games were all closely contested, however, and two of them. especially the over time contest with New Haven Satur- day night, should have gone to the credit of the team. At the opening game in Boston on Wednesday night the Grays put up the better game but an unfortunate accident that put Me Gilvray out of the contest for several minutes told heavily against the team,
 The Tigers also suffered severely With a badly crippled team, Pierce be- ing on the sick list. and Cunningham suffering from injuries that nearly in- capacitated him from playing, Came rons men found 1t hard sledding With ! in bad place and defeat was the DOT ton In each of them. Boston and Wa terbury split even, while New Britain and Bridgeport wor three of the four | played.
 Hart continues to lead in his goal getting with 120 or his list. Jason Is pressing him hard, however, and is within six points Of the Boston rusher Lincoln stands third, with 106, but shares the honors with Schiller. with | the same number Cunningham is fifth and Mccarthy sixth.
 Lincoln stands alone as the premie. rush taker. The speedy Valley Falls | boy continues to beat his opponent tC the spot with great regularity. He has long lead over his next nearest com petitor. Mccarthy holds second place but Is 52 rushes in the rear Johr Wiley brings up the rear with one lone rush to his credit
 Jeen Is jealous of his reputation as the boss foul maker of the league, and holds forth with 24 or six more than Fahey, the second man.
