THREE MORE LAPS
New Haven Polo Team to Fight Hard in Final Weeks for
 Second Place.
BRIDGEPORT HERE TONIGHT
Hart Will be the Best GOalGetter of the National League and Lincoln
 the Fastest Rusher.

Only the last three laps of the Ma tional Roller Polo league now remain to be traversed by the nearly exhaust ed seven teams. The effect of the weeks and months of this hard grind has resulted in the securing of the cup by Jeans Bank Wreckers. How ever in this final whirl there will be one of the finest races of the season, that for second place.
 This evening the first of the series of second place will be held. Bridgeport will be the visiting aggregation and Bones New Haven aggregation will receive them This game will show to the fans the respective quality of the two teams and the loser will probably have little chance for the honor of final placement just behind New Britain.
 Thursday evening. Pawtucket will endeavor to spring a surprise on the Boneyards but 1t is hoped that their aspirations in this direction will amount to nought. Friday evening the local fans will assemble at Pawtucket and Saturday night at Providence
 Hart who at present leads The lca gQe in goal getting will capture thls honot at the close of the season ana Lin coin the rushing honors of the league Jean has a good chance to be the greatest foul getter but Fahey is going at him hard and threatens his over. throw. Handy has 37 and may pull out on the present leaders. He is un' doubtedly the most deliberate foulel ini the league.
 Harper and Pence are tied for lead, ership among the goal-tenders and this will be no doubt the best fight, Bannor and Cusick are tied for last place while Sutton the local player is but on' point ahead

PRACTICE IN RAIN Yale Baseball Men Co Out to the Diamond in a
 Drizzle. READY FOR THE FIRST GAME What the Probable Line-Up Win bo Against the Manhattan Col
 lege Team.
READY FOR THE FIRST GAME

In spite of the drizzling rain the Yale baseball candidates went out to the field yesterday afternoon for an hour and half practice There were no graduate coaches present and Captain Tad Jones directed the men himself.
 Although there have been only a few days outdoor practice this spring. the team is fit for it's first game, and if the weather allows it, the game will be played against Manhattan at Yale field next Saturday afternoon. The lineup of the team will be the regular one for the season except in the pitchers position. Merritt who pitched for last years freshman team is still under the scholarship ban over in Shelf. and 1t is doubtful if Cap- tain Jones will risk Van Vleck SO early in the season Probably several of the substitute pitchers will be tried out during the game.
 Yale gets three stars from last years freshman team beside Merritt. These are Fels, the shortstop and the two fielders. Wheaton and Murphy of football fame. These three players are as good as any college baseball men in the country and the record of the catcher, Captain Jones, speaks for itself
 The lineup of Saturdays game ex- cept for the pitches will probably be- Tad Jones, catcher: Gushing, first base; Cushman, second base; Fels. shortstop; Williams. third base; Wheaton, Murphy and Clifford, the outfield.

the exquisite honor and pleasure of
serving in, the 39th Ohio. which

This, as I said, set me to thinking, and
this is the result: The 39th Ohio went
to- Missouri in August, 1861, and was
mustered out at Louisville, KY, in July,
1855. During. those strenuous years
