BASEBALL BLACKLIST.
Such Oppression Must Stop. Says
 President Pulliam.

President Harry Pulllam Of the National league threatens to put out of business any minor league magnate who attempts to have a blacklist en- forced. The president is terribly in earnest about the matter and it is be- lieved that his attack is directed at James II. O'Rourke. secretary of the Connecticut league of baseball clubs, and the author of the blacklist resOlu- tion. The Bridgeport manager was outspOken about his desire tO get even with the men who had jumped his team and when the blacklist resolu- ton was passed it was called great personal victory for the famous Ora for. It is not believed that O'ROurke feels so proud of 1t now for this is what Pulllam says:
 ''If there is any attempt to prevent any of the players we have rcinstated from following their profession in the minor leagues the national commission will see that such oppression is stop ped or else they will have to go out Of business The nationaI association exceeded it's authority in declaring players ineligible without q hearing and it's unwarrantel interference with the prcrogatives vested solely in tine na- tional commission has gone far en- ough. If inc national commission can not protect the hall player as we'll as the club owner then We might as well throw up the job The blacklist has nc place in baseball. We intend tO see that justice is done these player | am going to fight this thing out to a finish
 Rurnham of the Newark team is also credited with helping to push the blacklist through and il was said that he was sore because he had to give up some money for player. The famous blacklist was aS follows:

Glade Sians With HiohIanders.

New York, Jan. T-Only one thing illuminated the baseball gloom along Broadway. That was the receipt in the office of the Highlanders of the signed contract of Fred Glade, the pitcher whom Griffith recently acquir- ed in the six man Gade with the St. Louis Browns. Glade wrote from his home in Grand Island, Neb., that he is fin excellent condition. is glad to be with the New York team and expects to make a great record with the High flanders next season. It had been said that Glade probably would retire from the diamond. but his transfer to New York and the liberal salary offered to him by President Farrell doubtless caused him to change his mind.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
POOL GAMES JOE DAILY
 WAS BEATEN Malsch Scored a Big Victory Last Night - Mclaughlin Lost in
 ?. Hartford.

One of the biggest surprises that the pool artists of this city ever re- ceived, happened last evening when Walter Masch and Joe Daily began the first block of their POO point pool match to decide the tie between them in the tournament just closed. It was expected that the match would be close one and that Daly would be a slight fayorite. To the surprise of the spectators Malsch ran away with the game and left Daly at the post, winning out by the score of 106 to fl. Malsch had one run of 31 which made the people, present applaud loud and long, as some of the shots were spectacular. The following are tine scores by frames:
 Malsch-13,9, ?, 10, F, II. 15, If, 9, S-106. Scratches-1. High runs II, 13, 15, 31.

WRESTLING BARNES WAS
 TOO STURDY Smith Failed io Throw Him Three Times in One Hour--Parr's
 Father Dead.

Springfield, Jan 17.-Jim Barnes of this city won his handicap Wrest- ling match from Walter White of Buffalo in Graves's hall last night. According to the conditions, the big Buffalo man was to down Barnes three times in an hour to win. White secured one fall i'll 31 minutes. He appeared full as fat as when he met Hjalmar Lundin il Hartford last winter.
 In former years White was some thing of a prize fighter, but found he couldn't hold his weight in training for the ring. About eight months ago he met Gotch in Kansas City when the champion was offering $250 to any man who could stay with him fifteen minutes without being thrown. Smith stayed over fourteen minutes before Gotch could pin him and even then there was a dispute on the time. He feels that he has improved vastly since then and believes he is now able to hold his own with any man in the world.
 It was a clean contest at all times and Smith showed himself a true sportsman when, at the end of half an hour, after havlng obtained a dangerous hold upon Barnes's leg, he released it rather than run a chance of crlppling the Springfield man, who gamely refused to surren- der even at the risk of broken limb The hold that Smith had on Barnes was particularly vicious one, his leg being locked in such a manner that it would be an easy matter to snap the bone. Though urged to give him the fall, Barnes stubbornly declined, though he well knew what the sacrifice would have to be if Smith cared to carry the hold to the limit.
 When he realized that Barnes would never quit, Smith relinquished the grip with the remark, "I admire gritty little man, and l don't care to injure him, so I'll give him an other chance" Then he gripped the exhausted Barnes until minute and a half later a toe hold combined with hammerlock gave him the first and only fall.
 It was Barnes'G science pitted against Smiths weight all the way and the midget mat man proved too clever for the giant grappler.

POLO BACK AND
 STILL BACK New Haven Threw Us Cold With One Amateur in Our Line Up--Bridgeport Won.
POLO

It is hard enough to win a polo game with every man on the team in good condition, but when one of the players comes on the floor not in condition all chance for a victory is lost. That was Waterbury's case last evening when we stacked up against New Haven. The majority of the fans realized that Daly was playing his last week with the locals and his comrades in the lineup were all sorry for him. Discouraged, per haps, Dan probably realized that it would be hard to secure another berth and he cared not what he did. It is the same old story of good player, having friends in every corner of the city, who delight to entertain and be entertained.
 The calling in of Daily sent Louis Cronan out on the floor. The local boy did we'll, particularly so in the last two periods, where he blocked hard drives and broke up many plays that looked dangerous. We were handi- capped on the rush line, however, for Jack Fahey was playing out of his po sition up there in front and try as hard as he could, he did not connect with the passes sent up by LoXson It was mixed up team fighting des- perately against quintette of play CTS, every man in his position and playing that position we'll. New Ha ven scored three times in the first period in about 10 minutes and the fans and everybody else realized that the game was won. Waterbury was never licked, though until the last bell had sounded and in the second period we scored two while New Ha- ven was getting one. The one credit ed to New Haven too was an accident pure and simple and was made by Holderness. The ball was going through the air towards our cage, when Tommy made back hand drive to get it out of the way and it curved from his stick behind Cusick. The fight was bitter in the last period and New Haven kept us on the jump con- tinually. We were putting up good defensive game, however, and it took the visitors nearly 9 minutes before Mccarthy drove one back of Cusick That was the only goal made in the period We hammered several against Mullen, but that worthy was putting up an excellent game and we were forced to take the fifth straight defeat from the Bone outfit. The line m and summary.

VERY GOOD DECISION.

In one of the recent championship pool games at Campbelrs, Hartford, between De Monte of Hartford and KngsbuIy of New Haven, De Monte, in the twentieth frame, hit the cue ball twice before be made shot. The referee, William Gamerdinger. didn't see the foul and De Monte continued to play. Kingsbury made a protest and twelve citizens who saw the foul signed it. The referee sent to the Brunswick -Balke-C Collender company of New York for solution of the problem and yesterday received the following reply:
 New York, January 15. Mir William Gamerdinger, No 5S
 Temple street.
 Dear Sir-In reply to your inquiry of the 11th inst, concerning decision relative to play in game referred to, wish to say that if the protest is de- cided in favor of Kingsbury, the game should be played over from the point at which the alleged foul occurred, with all balls placed as nearly as pos sible in the positions they occupied at the time it was Kingsbury's rightful turn to play. Of course, they can mu- tually agree to play the. whole game over. Regards to Mr Campbell.
 Yours very truly,
 B.-B.-C. Company. Referee Gamerdinger decided after he received the communication that I. T A.... lao i ordered the game to be played over. The disputed game was won by De Monte by one ball.

BASKETBALL.
Holy Cross Has a Fine Old Time
 With Old Rival FOrdham.

Worcester, Jan 17.-Holy Cross de- feated Fordham last night 26 to 2l in one of the most interesting games of the season. The game was played in Mechanics hall and large and cnthu- siastic crowd was on hand to see Holy Cross down her dearest rivals. Con- sidering the rivalry that exists be- tween these two colleges, the game last night was very cleanly fought. The score was close throughout the early part of the first half, keeping the spectators on edge until toward the close of the period. when a brll- liant spurt put Holy Cross several points to the good.
 In the second half Fordham start cd things with T rush, but Holy Cross came back strong and aided mainly by the brilliant work of Captain Stevens and Dowd. the former IIolyoke high star. managed to keep the lead and win out. Dowd's shooting was spec tacular throughout, nine baskets be- ing his record for the night. and as the neutral floor was strange to both teams. his feat is still more note worthy. Stevens's floor work shone ont conspicuously. while Fitzpatrick did the best work for FOrdham. His shooting was one of the features of the night. MahOney and Siskind also played we'll for the visitors. The lineup:

A few weeks ago they bowled thirty games and took three hours and q half to do it. Mir Griffith had a score of PIG, the record for the alleys when Mir Upson came here to live. Mir Up son tried his skill with the ball and rolled up PIT. Last week Mir Griffith started to better that with the result that 279 is now the score for the alleys.
 The men rolled 12 hours and B minutes without stopping. Griffith won fifty-nine games, Upson won thir- ty- eight and three games were tied.
