POLO NOTES.
New Haven here tonight.

New Haven here tonight.
 Great start that up in Springfield.
 The managers all blew themselves, they felt so happy over the Spring field success.
 A win tonight by Waterbury and the almost certain defeat Of PrOvi- dence by New Britain, will take us out of last place.
 Let us hope the wanderers have aI last found a resting place. Certainly Harry StaTkie must have had some sIeeplsss nights wondering where he was going to land next.
 Manager Billy Hanna will have to come and see the amateurs a little stronger. if he wants to have them 70 over to New Britain Saturday night. The long green is pretty short 50 the boys say
 There will be much interest nani- Tested sn the meeting of Waterbury and New Britain this evening. The New Haven sporting writers intimate that Bone has Eddie Higgins skinned a nile as a polo rusheT. but that will be proven a yarn after to-night's con- test

The majority of the thirty bowlers in the State Bowling league bowle1 below their averages in the games of Tuesday evening and as result there is general slump in the indi- yidual standing. Watt still leads. Collett, the next best bet, falling below Johnson of the New Haven team by two-tenths of point. Beardsley is now the contender for second honors with 1874.

WRESTLING.
The Big Russian Will Take in Hart
 ford,

The Big Russian VIII IaKe III nart' ford.
 Hartford, Feb. 13.--Following the announcement yesterday of the en' gagement of Frank Gotch to Wrestle here on February 20 with HjalmaI Lundin, came word that George Hackenschmidt the Russina Lion was also going to include Hartford in his itinerary. As no one here IS likely to put up $10,000 for a purse the men will not meet each other here. Gotch will be here on the goth and Hack will arrive in New York five days later. He plans to remain in this country until April 15.
 The details for Hackenschmidt' E American tour have been arranged and his contest with Gotch for the championship of the world will be decided either in Kansas City or Chi cago. Before that match he will wrestle in several cities in New Eng land, giving exhibitions and engag- ing in matches at both the catch-as- catch-can style and Graeco- Roman He will probably show in Boston first, then go to Lowell and then he will come here Hackenschmidt and Gotch are the greatest drawing cards in the athletic line at the present time and the burly men are more i'll demand than any of the pugilists.
 Hackenschmidt has been earning about $3,000 week in the London music halls and his expenses are about $500 a week. He has immense strength and is one of the best pro- portioned big men in the game, He is not any heavier than Gotch and is not as clever wrestler but he is stronger. Hjalmar Lundin will probably go up against Hack when he comes here and he will be satisfied if he gets fall at the Graeco-Ro- man style.
 Fritz Hanson is spending a few days at his old home in Worcester and MT Lundin will go up there to- morrow. In an interview there, Han SUI Sdlu ut udu ldlu WI u 5Ct matches. Perhaps Charles Olson will accommodate him. The carpenter trade is not brisk now and Olson is not averse to making match. A straight match between these men ought to furnish some good sport. Bob Somerville, who formerly wrest- led here, is out with a challenge to wrestle any man in the world at 129 pounds for $500.
 H. M. Ruden, who wrestled in this city under the name of Morgan: writes from St Petersburg, Fla, that he is on the road with the Parker Carnival company and has been talk ing on local men. He is soon going to Tampa, where he is booked to wrestle at the state fair for the 145- pound championship. He will go tc Havana later and then to Galveston, Tex Before he returns to Hartford he will go to Charleston and Colum- bia, s. c.

BASKET BALL
HOLY CROSS AGAIN
 HUMBLES HARVARD
Jimmy Dowd of HoIyoks Scores Most Points For tbe
 
 Purple.

Worcester, Feb 13.-Harvard' basketball quinette again fell victim to Holy Cross superior playing here last night, the game ending r to H in favor of the Purple. Holy Cross de- feated the Crimson at Cambridge earl fer in the season 20 to 16, and the Crimson lads were naturally anxious to even up matters last night. The fact that Holy Cross had on off night ill shooting alone saved Harvard de- cisive defeat, as during the entire first half the visiting five was com pletely outclassed, their basket being peppered with shots throughout the half, only hard luck preventing the Purple from running up big score. During the first half Harvard had but few chances to shoot, yet caged as many baskets from the floor as their opponents, the half ending to in favor of Holy Cross.
 Harvard played better game in the second half, but Holy Cross still put up superior article on the floor, poor shooting again losing baskets. Stevens floor work was the best seen here this year, his dribbling and clever lodging calling forth much applause. Dowd again scored the most points for the Purple, caging four baskets from the floor and one on free try. One of his baskets was a long shot from the side. O'Neil played a good blocking game and figured prominently in the passing,
 Currie played the best game for Harvard, getting several long shots for the basket Wyman and c. Brown also played well for the Crimson. The lineup and summary:

VERY AUsPICIOUs START.

Springfield, Feb 13.-Playing before capacity crowd in the Lyman street rink last night, Harry Starkie's Wan derers showed their appreciation at finding a place of refuge by polishing off New Haven. It was reunion of polo fans that gladdened the heart of the gamey manager and besides the old guard, it contained many who were witnessing their first league contest. Members of both groups will need more than tight money market to keep them away hereafter, for the game was just as close as the score of to could indicate.
 After two scrub teams had amused the spectators until nearly 9 o'clock and when the reception to Tommy Leahy had ended, the big chaps took the floor, and every man of the Spring field bunch was given a hearty ap- plause as he was introduced by Ref cree Leahy. Captain Robby Hart, whose name happens to be Eugene and not Robert, and Long John Wiley being apparently picked as particular favOrites for starter. As a polo ex- hibition the game was q dandy, with the issue in doubt until the last min ute, when Kid Sutherland finished off q fine nights work with a sensational shot of stop that had intentions of tying up the tally.

THEY MADE BILLIONS
SECRETARY or AGRICULTURE WILSON SAYS PAST YEAR WAS
 PROFITABLE FOR FARMERS.
PUT FIGURES 1T 7,l4o MILLION DOLLARS
The Greatest Crop is Grass With Corn Next-cotton, Wheat and Poultry Folow-No Fictitious Values But All an Actual vaIue--United states Leads the World.

Washington, Nov. 17.--In an inter view given Monday Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department tells what the farmers have added to the wealth of the country this year.
 We are at work just now getting at the figures, and the total probably is not far behind that of last year, which was TAO million dollars. And that is real money" said the secretary. Tt is not ficticious, but an actual value.
 Tt is all clear gain and consists in tangible property-corn. hay, wheat, cotton and other things that are need ed by everybody and are counted among the necessaries of life-nearly seven and half billions of dollars probably the largest sum ever added to the wealth of the world by any na- tion In single year.
 "The greatest crop of America is grass and then corn. Next after corn is probably cotton: then come wheat and poultry, running neck and neck. Tho product of the hen coop is now nearly as valuable as that of the wheat field. The American people eat great many eggs. and there are not enough people keeping chickens and producing eggs. The price is due to the law of supply and demand.
 "The preliminary estimate of the crop reporting board of the depart. ment is 2.642, ,6s7 900 bushels of corn. as compared with 2,592.s20,o0 bush els, the final estimate for 1907.
 "All the principal crops of the coun- try for this year are better than they ever were, and the estimate of the crop reporting board of the depart ment shows that the volume is 3 per cent greater than in 1907"
 Here are some of the figures, al ready published, on which MT. Wilson bases his estimate:
