POLO BIDS FAREWELL
 TO MASSACHUSETTS
Nutmeg Cities Will for, the Greater Part Make up National League Next Season-Bridgeport Like Iy to Be In.

Although the National Roller Polo league season has just closed and New Haven and Providence have a series of games yet to play, the polo mag mates will lose no time in getting to- gether and talking over plans for next season. There's a lot to be done. The league needs reorganization and such is bound to come another season. Most of the clubs struggled along at a f1n- ancial loss the past season and even al that it was. found necessary to cut the season short one week so that & couple of the club owners could keep their heads above water. There will be some big changes next season and the scene will no doubt shift to Con necticut. Already negotiations are be- ing made to secure clubs in Bridge port Waterbury and Springfield in place of Fall River, Taunton and Brockton. With New Haven, Hart ford and Providence this should make strong league and one in which there would be much rivalry. Fossil bly two more teams would be admit ted, making an eight club league with the circuit more compact than last season. New Haven and Providence are good polo towns, and with Hart ford, Waterbury and Bridgeport in the league, there should be some old time rivalry. The club owners will get together shortly and discuss plans for next winter.

 1909 and 1910
Trout Season Opens on Saturday Next and SpOrtsmen Are
 Expectant

The trout season opens, as every trout fisherman Tn the State knows, on April 1. This year that date is Saturday.
 The fishing, is likely to be poor at the opening of this season on account of the cold weather this month. But and the results should be felt later in the season. The State fish are dis tributed for supposedly open waters and anybody fishing brook in which State fish were put last fall and find ing 1t posted has right to set up a howl, even though the stocking of a brook by the State does not neces- sarily make that stream open water. The report of the fish and game com- mission for the last two years shows in what streams State fish were plac- ed, their number and to whom they were allotted The list of such streams, by towns in which the waters are, in which fingerhngs were planted last fall, includes the following:
 Harwinton-Lead Mine
 Torrington-East Branch.

Atty. Delaney
 Says Evil Here Is At Minimum

In a frank, straight from the-shoul- der talk before the Mems league of the Universalist church last tvening, Laney outlined the difficulties which beset the office of prosecutor in this city and invited criticism of the atti- tude of the authorities toward cer- tain questions of social evil.
 He explained the course taken in handling these problems and invited criticism but no one cared to take him up.
 "I believe in the policy of segrega- tion," declared Attorney Delaney; these women have souls; we cannot throw them into the river. If they are scattered they simply will settle in the residential districts and then we shall be worse off than ever''
 The prosecutor outlined to his hear CTS a sample days work in his office. Yesterday he received 254 persons each with a complaint to make. He showed the extreme difficulty of handling some of these cases, through the ig- norance of some of the people who made complaints, lack of knowledge of the law, Lack of ability to speak Eng fish, and in some cases, malice afore- thought. He said that to properly sup plenent the office of prosecuting at torney in this chty, plain clothes of fcer and an interpreter should be pro- vided.
 He showed that for 800 cases on the docket of the city court in the course of a year, there will be an averag ge of 10,0 900 to 12,0o0 complaints that neV- CT will be tried. For instance, for one non-support case which Is tried in the city court, about 30 will be settled in the office of prosecuting attorney. It is always considered a better policy to get the husband to pay without ar resting him, where possible to do so
 Attorney Delaney expressed the opinion that social vices and the i'm dulgence in the drug habit are upon a smaller scale in Bridgeport than in any other city of similar size in the United States. He declared that the traffic in opium and cocaine has been reduced to a minimum and that the forces for law and order are working at the best efficiency possible under existing circumstances.

WHO'S A -?
Finn'S Contribution to Current Controversy Catches
 Cameron

Truly the Connecticut league is an unique organization and the more that is made public about the deals of Harry Durant with other directors the more unique does it seem," says the Waterbury Republican. Mike Finn writes from Little Rock to add little more to the mass of evidence in the Hoey case and incidentally ex- plains why Durant gave Pitcher Gil- man to Cameron of New Haven, transaction that has appeared rather mysterious ever since this player ap- peared on the New Haven reserve list.
 Mike, as usual, comes right out and tells in plain words what he has to say. He says, that in order to make sure of winning Waterbury players from Finn, Durant gave Gil- man to Cameron, offered another player to O'Neil and was the principal worker to have the league advance s10O0 to Winkler of Holyoke to pay what the club owed in Holyoke. This statement is significant when it is re- membered that the committee, ap pointed by the league to decide the dispute between Durant and Finn, WIS composed of Cameron, Winkler and Tracy
 Now comes Owner Cameron who in a statement to a New Haven writer puts the lie up to Finn.
 fInn IS lylHS when Q0 IndkeS Luo statements referred to-" says Gamer on. NO one fixed me or attempted to fix me. Finn lost his case and is sore head and looking for sympathy. He lies when he says Pitcher Gilman was on the Waterbury reserve list and he lies when he says that Durant gave me Gilman for my vote in the matter against Finn.
 ''As to Pitcher Gilman, Harry Du- rant sat with me at the Rock last September. I asked Durant if he would give me first chance to buy Pitcher Sandy Bannister. Durant said he thought Bannister would be drafted for $500, but if he wasn't he would sell Bannister to me for $500. He said he would give me Gilman and asked if he proved good and I made, anything out of him to split with him. I took Gilman with that understanding.
 AS to giving Winkler $1,O00 to pay his debts I never knew of any such proposition coming up before the di- rectors and I don't believe WinqIer was ever given S1,000. If he was l don't know where he got it."

MURPHY BEATEN CLAIMS A FOUL
 ISN'T ALLOWED

New Bedford, Mass, March 2S.- The fight between Kid Murphy of New Haven and Young Dyson of New York before the New Bedford Athletic club here last night, which was sched- uled for 12 rounds, came to an ending in the ninth round when Dyson shot over a stiff right to the body and dropped the New Haven boy for the full count
 Murphy claimed a foul. The referee admitted he could not see whether Dyson fouled Murphy or not, as he was standing behind Dyson at the time he struck Murphy. A doctor was Summoned who examined Murphy carefully but stated he could see no evidence of foul blow having been struck so the fight went down as a Knockout for Dyson
 Opinions as to the outcome of the ibout by those present at the ringside were divided. many claiming Dyson badly fouled the New Haven boy and Murphy should have won on foul, while others claim 1t was a clean Knockout for Dyson.
 The fight was fast and furious up 'fo the ninth and Murphy put up a great showing. He was game and while Dyson was much heavier he iheld his own and showed much skill.

CITY LEAGUE TO
 2ATRONIzE OUR HOME MERCHANTS

The rnogufs of the City Baseball League met In the office of the city clerk, last evening, discussed plans for the betterment of the league this sea- son. The six clubs, the St., Joes. sYosts, South Ends. North Ends. Fla eies and Black Rocks were represent ed
 The Harwood ball was adopted as the official ball of the league, Presi- tiant A. E. Veness occupied the chair. Representatives from two New Haven sporting houses were present offering their wares, but the managers decided that if any money should be expended by either team or league, the funds would be spent with local merchants.
 The league accepted with regrets, the resignation of Manager Eddie Sul- livan of the South Ends. Sullivan contemplates a trip abroad within a short while. He has been the life of the South End team. Through his efforts last season, the South End club was picked up and kept alive The South Ends will reniain in the league, but will have a hard time finding a man to fill Sulhvan's shoes. Sullivan on May sails on the Mature dania of the Cunard line for Liverpool From Liverpool he will go to London, thence to Kilkenny, to Dublin and Dundalk, returning to London. He expects to be gone about six weeks.

KLAUS TONIGHT
 FIGHTS SULLIVAN
 WESTERN WONDER
Winner of Bout Has. Good Chance to Annex Mid
 dleweight Honors

New York, March 2S-Two of the leading lights in the middleweight class, Frank Klaus and Montana Jack Sullivan, will box ten rounds tonight at the Fairmont A. c. Taking the past performances of the principals as an indication, the bout looks like one of the best middleweight events held in New York in several years.
 Everyone around New York knows how dangerous Klaus is. He is sec ond edition of the late Stanley Ket- chel. tearing in with both hands re- gardless of punishment. He is just as hard a puncher as Ketchel was when the latter was at the height of his career.
 Sullivan has been cleaning up every thing out West where they consider him a better man than Ketchel ever was He is possessed of bit more cleverness than Klaus and is a hard puncher. Six years ago when he had cleaned up everythoing in the amateur ranks he jumped out as a pro and tackled Ketchel
 With Ketchel he battled twenty rounds to a draw. Many at the ring side that night thought that Sullivan had won.
