 MANAGER RETIRES
fielder Jones, Manager of the White Sox
 Gives np Game.

ME tiand. Ore. Jan 26.-Fielder Jones, manager of the Chicago American League Baseball Club. and who is now a resident of, this city. announces posi- lively that he really has retired from the game for good and all. Jones says his business interests in this State. re- uuire his presence here at all times, and he announces that the future Of himself and his family compel him to give up the game. In telling of his re- tirement Jones said:
 Tt is true that I have played my last game. 1t is doubted everywhere because of the announcement that he'd retired last season. but much as l regret it, the loyal fans of Chicago and my many friends on the American Lea que circuit will see me no more, at least not as a player. am compelled to give up the game because the future of my family. if not myself. requires that I assume active control of the 1n- terests of myself and brother here Tn Oregon and Washington. My brother and have large timber holdings as well as a number of splendid acreages in this State which are in. need Of our immediate attention. Hired represen- rativeS cannot look after a mans landed holdings as well as hes can him self. and for that reason I must quit the old game to attend to my property. I have, a family to look after and have moved. our household effects to Port land. My wife is already in love with this section of the country and here we expect to reside indefinitely"

CRACK HITTER
 FOR HARTFORD

The Hartford baseball team will cer- tainly have a walloper in the outer garden the coming season, for Mana ger Connery has just bought G. Metz gerof Winnipeg, whose batting aver age in the Northern League last sea-
 son was .342. The Hartford manager turned down McChesney in order to
 get the slugger. McChesney is a good
 man, but he is not in it with Metz ger, who is regarded as the classiest third baseman in the minor leagues. Manager Connery has a man in view for the outfieId who is said to be su perior to McChesney but the deal is
 hanging fire and no announcement can be made at this time To secure Metz ger, the Hartford owners was obliged to give up $500 and that is a whole lot of money up in Winnipeg, where the principal article of food is said to be stewed Polar bear and tallow can dies. Because this Metzger man pounded out the ball for .342 average the fans in tee East must not think that the bats up there are made out of walrus tusks, for they play good ball up there. But four men in the lea que. which is composed of Brandon, Winnipeg, Duluth and Fargo, hit over .300 last season MetZger played in 83 games, made 49 runs, S3 hits and if teen sacrifice hits. He led the league in his position at third base, with a fielding average of .941

BLUE RIBBONS LOST
 TO YALE "LUNCHITES"

A quintet of young men styling themselves the Yale 'tRefreshment' basket ball team dropped into Bridge port last night to take the place of the Boston girls team, some of whose members are laid up with injuries from a game played last Saturday. The Blue Ribbons. champions of the -city, and whose good playing barred them from the local Y. M. c. A. floor were their opponents and went down to de- feat by the-score of 31-23 The local lads showed up finely in the first half, but fell off from their usual good play in the second. Burdick' and Lang hammer excelled for the Ribbons and Pittman and Legge for the lunch room feam. -
 Basket ball will be continued at the rink in the future as it pays well, a large crowd being on hand last even ing. The management will have all the college teams here in the near future. so that lovers of the sport will witness some good basket ball. Next Friday night at the rink Bentze and Hayes will race for the three mile championship of the city. while Kid Wagner and Eddie Lewis will go on as preliminary for one mile

An AstroIouer's L etter.

An astrologer's letter to President Van Buren forecasting the results of his election in 184O is in the library of congress and perhaps gives crude idea of some of the fallacies of our grandfathers. The following are some extracts: 'In this horoscope the as- cendant directed to the semisquare of Mars would be in operation about the middle of the fourth year, October, 1785, and might cause sickness, |" < flux or hurt by wounds" etc. ** tT have opened the horoscope for Gen. eral Harrison, which accords with the chief events of his past life and which if right he will not fill the office of president during the next term even if elected. And the danger I appre- bend to yourself is not from your pub lie opponents, but from those on whom you repose confidence" Those who are superstitious may be inclined to credit this star gazer with some meas ure of wisdom, for Harrison, although elected, died month after his inau- gura tion.-New York Post

ANOTHER BREAK IN POLO RANKS
Lynn Goes np the Spout and Players are
 Transferred.
Looks Like National Polo League is Abont
 to Pass Down and Ont.

Things are not so roseate in the Na- tional Roller Polo League as some of the managers would have the fans be- iieve. At meeting of the league di- rectors held in Providence, Sunday, the 1ynn team was dropped and Manager Bone signed with the Worcester team. Lynn was dropped because of the in- ability of the managers to arrange a satisfactory schedule for the remainder of the season with seven teams, and the impossibility of the Lynn manage ment to so arrange it's playing nights in that city so as to conform to the needs of the situation. The playing nights in Lynn have been Monday and Saturday, and to give that team Sat- urday night the Pawtucket club gave up that night in that city and agreed to play Fridays instead for the month of January only. But one more week remained for this agreement to run, and as Bone had been unable to effect any change in the nights he could have the hall in Lynn, it was thought best to have the franchise vacated. Most of the Lynn players will be taken care or by the remaining teams of the league, as all will carry six men in the future. This move puts Honest John" Roberts. Griffin, Gardener and Sutton out of a job for a while at least.
 In the weekly averages of the league just issued Higgins of Fall River leads in the number of rushes with 46S. fol- lowed by Lincolns of Worcester who made. a grand squirt during the, week, passed Lewis and is now only 24, points behind the Fall River rusher and on the road to overcome him.

Home Loving Monteneorins.

Nowhere is love of country more in- tense than among the >Montenegrins, to whom exile is the greatest of pun ishments. When W. J. Stillman vas there in the seventies all the free men were away fighting, and he observed that when messenger was wanted the official took man out of the pris- on and sent him off, with no fear that he would not return. One such mes senger was sent to Cattaro, in Aus trian territory, with a large sum of money for the bank, and he duly came back. Another asked Russian at Cattaro to intercede with Prince Nich- olas for his release from prison. "But you are not in prison," said the Rus sian. "Oh," said the man, "I have only come down for load of skins for So-and-so. but I must go into pris- on again when get back to Cettinje." One prison guard watched all the pris- oners when they stunned themselves out of doors, and if he was called away prisoner would take his rife and act as sentry for the time.
