BRIDGEPORT WILL
 HAVE ROLLER POLO
Carroll Of New Haven Will Pilot Local Outfit-Meeting E
 Next Sunday

Announcement has been made to the effect that a meeting will be held next Sunday in New Haven for the purpose of launching the Connecticut roller polo league.
 It is planned to have the league include New Haven, New Britain, Bridgeport, Meriden. Waterbury and possibly Hartford. Stamford and Danbury have applied for admission and their petitions will be considered at the meeting there next Sunday.
 James B. Canavan, who gave the Elm City polo as well as baseball championship. will have charge of the club there. CanaVan purposes to play the games at the Casino where the games were patronized so we'll before. Harry Parsons will hold the franchise in Waterbury; Jack Barry, shortsto p in the Philadelphia Americans, will share the honors in Meriden with Bobby Hart, while Bill Hanna will look after the team in New Britain. James Carroll, of New Haven, who held the Schenectady franchise in the Empire State league last season, has applied for the Bridgeport franchise and will probably get it.
 The polo players have the tip straight from the managers that the days of fat salaries and dictation are a thing of the past. The managers have it all arranged how much they are going to pay each player, and if he doesn't care to earn a. little easy money while there's snow on the ground he need not sign a contract. But if he refuses to sign. with one team his hope of getting into the league will be dead, as the magnates are going to stick together and see each other through. Reasonable sal aries will be paid all players and as the stipend will be slightly in excess of what the players would receive at other occupations it is believed that thefe will be little difficulty in signing them.
 The managers have had their heads together and they realize that a. 1op- sided league doesn't pay. So they have hit on a plan to divide up the players among the different cities, making each club as strong as the others physically. In this way they expect the games to be close and in teresting. The fast players will be sprinkIed evenly through the league and on paper no team will look strong CT than another.
 The magnates propose to have a salary limit of $20O per week. Other expenses, they think, will amount to about $20O, making their total ex- penses as they now see them, about $4oo.
 It is said that contracts will be re- uuired from the players and a reserve clause, similar to that in baseball, will be attached, but how much power it will have will depend a great deal up- on the good faith of the polo players themselves.

.CROSSMEN CONTINUE
 CLINGING TO THIRD
Win From Meriden Prevents To- began Into Fourth
 Position

Fear of slipping into fourth place edged the Crossmen unto better things yesterday at Newf1eld where they an- nexed a, contest from Meriden 3-2. Two facts stood out in the melee Manager Monte Cross broke into the shit column and the shortness of the contest which went through in eighty minutes. Aside from that there was nothing smeered into the contest, aside from 8 few snappy fielding plays, that one could brag about.
 Chic Robertai1Ie was sent in there to prevent the fall to the fourth rung and stuck to his task throughout the : entire route. Whalen's crowd combed him for but five hits. Pete. Wilson who at one time was wont to strike terror into the hearts of the residents when he performed for Hartford did not phase them one bit yesterday. Every mem berS of the outfit had the ctoutfng habit, each contri outing one safe rap, BoWman's and Robertailles being good for three bases each.
 Bridgeport looked dangerous in the opening session, HaIInan and BouItes increasing their batting averages. Mo GamweH however, foul flied to Bill Luby while Batch went out, Gleason to first Gleason by the way had a nifty afternoon grabbing twelve chances without a slip.
 The home scoring machine worked well All II4C SSCOuO. ElL6E 6uSS6ll went down, Promo Silzer slashed the Victor yiciously past Edwards for a base. He hurried home when Rober- taille surprised the natives and him self by crashing to left center for three bases.
 Meriden evened up in the third, Bownan's wild heave being respo ble for the tie up at Il. With one away Pete Wilson clipped past Bow man for a base. Gleason scratched a. hit along third base line beating out Robertaille's throw to first. Bowman picked up Garrys grounder throwing towards second to start a double play. The heave was wild and bounded into Batch's mesa Wilson scoring. With men on second and third RobertailIe caused Zeiner to breeze and the heavy clouting Luby to pop up to Cross.
 Batch opened the fourth with one sack bank to left, pulling up to second on Russell's sacrifice. Sf1zer lined to his dfgits and Batch made third. Monte. Cross who had been hitting .OoO clipped the first pitched ball be- tween short and third and Batch scored.
 The invaders evened up again in the sixth. Garry walked, Robertai1le's only gift of the day. Zeimer sacri- feed. On Barneys poke to right cen ter Garry scored.
 Bridgeport pushed over the winning count in the seventh. Cross worked well, hornswogglings Wilson for a walk, also Petes only present of the game. RobertaiI1e's self killer placed his boss on second but it was unneces- sary as Bowman sent him home on his three base blow to NewfeId ave- nue. The score:

MEET TO UNITY
 ATHLETIC RULES
Important Conference Brings Together Representatives Of
 Forty Nations

Representative of the athletic or ganizations of forty nations will meet this week in the Proussiches Abgeord- netenhaus at Berlin to discuss the unffication of athletic rules. The old question, What is an amateur? ?'' will De brought up and threshed olft, and it is hoped that the gathering will agree on definition that will be ac- ceptable to all the countries concern ed. This problem has baff1ed as many minds as Why does a hen cross the road?" and How old is Ann ?'' and there are few so optimistic as to think it will ever be really and finally set tied.
 The old notion-and it still has a lot of supporters-was that amateur athletics should be restricted to- gen tlemen," and that no person who did anything useful for money could pos sibly be a. gentleman. Nowadays, in most countries, it is admitted that a policeman, a barber or banker might be enough of a gentleman as to come within the amateur definition, but it is still insisted that a profes- sfonal ball player couldn't qualify. Any man who has ever played base ball, or football, or Ia crosse. or crick- ct, for money, is hopelessly7 under the ban, and no amount of repentance could possibly save such a wretch. Of course, no professional should be per- mltte0s to play his own game as an amateur. But why should not a ball player, for instance, be permitted to run footraces, or row, or jump, or throw the discus, or play tennis or tiddleywindks, as an amateur? Why should Thorpe's participation in a baseball game to earn a little needful coin injure his amateur standing in other and entirely different pastimes? The answer seems to be that. regard less of fine theories about democracy and the equality of men, the ancient idea of what constitutes a gentleman still persists in the minds of those who control amateur athletics.
 American and English delegates to the e<Preussiches Ahgeordnetenhaus meeting will probably make a fight against the proposed rule that all worlds records, to be so recognized, must be in distances measured by the metric system. James B. Sullivan has made a strong plea that the equiva1- ent in yards, feet and inches be recog- delegates are from countries where the metric system is in use, it is prob able that the rule will pass. Many other matters of moment are up for consideration, and it lis likely that athletic history will be made this week and next at the Preussisches odnetenhaus-these, by the way, being a pair of nifty words that are likely to cause some compositor to break the distance cussing rec ord, which now stands at two galleys of solid nonpareiL

NATIONAL TENNIS
 OPENS IN NEWPORT

Newport, R. T., Aug. 18.-A regiment of lawn tennis players armed with two or three racquets apiece and equipped with hannels and spiked shoes strolIed into the Casino grounds today for the lopening matches in the aII-comers tour nament of the 33rd national champion ship in singles It is expected that 10 days will be required to uncover the title-holder for the year. The national championship doubles will be played on Wednesday and the national inter- scholastic championships started the same day.
 It was an unusually youthful lot of players that started in the all-comers tournament with a large number of players from the west. In fact the tournament this year is looked upon more as a battle between the veterans of the east and the young. dashing players from the west, especially from the Pacific coast.
 The national doubles championship will go to the Pacific coaet in any event as the four contestants on Wed nesday are all from that section of the country. The management had not an nounced early today which match would be played on the grand stand court.
 It was typical Newport weather, dull in the morning, suItry, and with scarcely any breeze so that all the players prepared for a perspiring day on the courts
