BRIEF COMMENT GRABBED
 FROM VARIOUS DIAMONDS
Dan 0'Nei| Brings His Waterbury Athletes
 To NeWfieId Tomorrow Afternoon
(By Wagner.l

(By Wagner.l
 Twelve points behind Springfield this morning.
 It took Reggie Brown to hornswog gle the Mechanics. It was Reggie's best effort for several weeks, and o1 course he had to save it for the Me- chanics.
 Lou Litschi wasn't bothered by Browns benders. He connected fol a pair of singles
 Benny Kauff couldn't solve Browns delivery. The little fellow says Reg gle had too much stuff on the ball.
 Brian Boru Mccarthy couldn't stor New Haven yesterday, and the Hart ford crowd was beaten by to g. When the Senators were taking kind ly to Slim Fosters slants in the sev- enth, Bugs Reisigl was sent in and he held Hartford down for the last two rounds,
 Dan ONeil is so hard up for pitch CTS that he is thinking of giving Out fielder Steve Manning a turn in the box. ManningN was a pitcher in the Central League before he became an outfielder
 Shortstop Cabrera of New Britain was given a day off yesterday so that he could go to New York and see his fellow Cubans, Marsans and Aimeida, play with Cincinnati. He hasn't seen them since they left New Britain and wouldn't have another opportunity un- til the big league season closes.
 Billy Kerr came through with a hit and also caught in good style. The fans in Waterbury imagined that Kerr was some back lot youngster, and were surprised when they saw he. was a regular backstop.
 Rocky Stone entered the game af- ter a weeks absence. He caught Chief Snyder when the swarthy boy replaced Gibbs in the eighth.
 Freddy Robarge is hitting hard for Waterbury. The former Northamp- ton backstop broke into the game un- der Dan O'Neil in Springfield, and Dan thinks pretty well of him.
 A big crowd is expected at Newfield tomorrow, when Waterbury. plays here Manager McCann needs every game these days and he will try hard to ooWn the VsltorS. Chlef snyder or Dixie Walker will hurl for Bridgeport, and probably Reggie Brown for Wa terbury. Game called at 3:30.
 Tom Connery lays the Hartford teams poor showing to the fact that Catcher Billy Vann had to return to his home in Oklahoma owing to his mothers illness. The real secret of the Senator's poor showing is the col 1aDSe of the DitchprSs Powers and Wilson are the only ones who have delivered the goods this season.

FRED JEAN EXPECTS
 TO LEAD NEW BRITAIN
 P0LOISTS NEXT SEASON

New Britain, Aug. 18.-There is a lot of speculation going on as to who will get the franchise for the New Britain polo team in the National Beloin, Jean or some one else? The some one else is Billy Burke, the owner of the New Bedford franchise, which is to be transferred to this city. The league maSnateS are agreed that the New Bedford franchise shall come back here and the opinion of those close to the inner workings is that Burke will be given the chance to get back some of the change he has laid out.
 Burke got the New Britain fran chise when the game went stale here three years ago, so that now the sporting frat will be getting it's own be some new faces when the gong is tapped and the whistle is blown. One thing seems to be settled, and that is that Fred Jean, the greatest poloist who ever dOnned a uniform, will car ry New Britain colors.
 Jean is popular in town. His first appearance in big polo company was in this city about 15, or 20 years ago, when Billy Parsons had the New Britain club. Jean came on as a kid amateur from Fall River and made good with a rush. Polo authorities S ed on the surface.
 The sport lovers are itching for the season to open. They have suffered so much disappointment in baseball that they figure in polo at least they will have a chance to crow. They had opportunities regularly when Billy Hanna produced the greatest collection of polo stars under New Britain colors that have ever played together. Mercer and Harkins on the rush line made the fastest combina- ton of rushers that ever came to the scratch.
 They cleared the spot with per sistent regularity. Ted Lewis used to get few away from them. but the times were rarities. The defense by Jean and Soxy Lyons was almost inn pregnable, and with Bill Ramon in the circle there was nothing to it.
 Bill has esta blished lot of high marks for kicking out the orange. For sub work the team had Kid Duggan, l Taunton, Mass, youngster, who was into the mysteries of the game by Jean, and Jack Toner, a amateur ranks. Jean and Duggan are he only members of the old New Britain team now with the New Bed ord. club.
 Mercer has been sticking around New Britain and is ready for another 'edSOn. Cedll Has De0n testing out motor cars. His powerful right has ,een kept in good form and he will ,e able, after few times on the roll ITS. to work in his old fopm
 It is expected that there will be a Unfit of players. Some of the men will be swapped to other clubs so as o balance the teams up. One of the ,fforts of managers will be to estab- ish a salary limit. Heretofore polo players have been among the highest ,aid men in sports. A hundred dol ars a week was low salary for some if the playe"1.

conveniently struck out, ending the inning.
 In the ninth Litschi first man up, hit to right field. Crook struck out and 1t furnished much glee for the ble4cherites. Ladd went down on a foul fly to Ahearn but Ruell got four wide ones. Kauff waited for Brown to hand one over and he got three poor ones at once. The crowd had started to leave the stand but things looked promising for Bridgeport and they returned. Brown proceeded to tighten up and the next five balls cut the plate, two being fouled by the batter after two strikes had been called. The score:

Roy Campbell, who has been play I ing with the Pittsfield Independent I club, has received an offer to join Bill | Luby's Haverhill club at once. Camp bell was released by Springfield. Mike Finn, who managed the Wa | terbury club last year, is scouting through the Connecticut league this | week. He will pick out any players that look good enough for. the New
 York Giants to draft. The big league clubs will draft great many players this season. They are willing to take chance on getting a good mar for a small amount instead of paying a
 fancy price for a player who might prove a quince.
 New Britain was beaten by Spring

barriers of rock. The rising tide flows
over and filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond,
