New Haven Man Picked for Place On Polo Four Against
 British

Both the English and American polo players took a day off yesterday, and some members of both teams recup erated by going to see the racess
 Harry Payne whitney, leader of the American defenders, went yachting. and he escaped a number of queries as to who would replace Monty Waterbury in next Saturdays match It Is a question of the greatest izn- portance. especially as it is doped that the American team Is sadly in need Of a strong substitute
 With the majority Of close follow CTS of the game the conclusion pre- xails that L. E. Stoddard, of New Ha- ven. is the man, as he Is a hard rider and Is in prime physical condition. When Monty Waterbury left the game on account of a. broken finger on Tuesday Stbddard took his place and while he showed that he was well mounted. it appears that his hitting ability did not please some of Chose who want to see the cup stay on this side Of the Atlantic
 Ont around the Meadow Brook field ves4erdzy not few had it that the man who would have the oneTous task of doing ss1Fonty's'' job would be Rene Ia Montague, a strong player who figured aznong the list Of select ed< substitutes. Montague is handd- carped at .f6'' and, being a young man. he would. be aggressive and would work up in front with Larry Waterbury to hustle the English No. 8 end back.

His father formerly was one of the state senators of New York.
 '.Scotty'' Ingerton, the former Bos- ton National third baseman, broke a bone in his right ankle, recently. while playing first base for Louisville against Toledo. 'tscotty.' was substi- tuting at the first sack in the absence of Weinberg, the regular first base man, who was granted a leave of ab- sence to get married. His spikes caught in the soft earth and he fell, breaking one of the front bones. He was removed to the Toledo hospital and will be out of the game for at least three weeks.
 J. Franklin Baker guards his bat like a prima donna guards her jeweIry. After banging his home run in the eighth inning, the other day, the clubber decided to quit the game and let Orr have a chance. Before going. Baker went to the row of bats in front of the home bench and care fully picked up his three big bud geons. He put them under his arm and disappeared in the tunnel to the clubhouse. Unlike other players, Bak- CT never places his home run imple- ments in the common bat bag. He stores his sticks in his locker. and even on the road takes personal care of them. A rule on the Mack team which is never violated is this: Never under any circumstances use one of Bakers bats Any violation would instantly cause a civil war.

A Tonaue Twiatina Nanne.

The mapgzakers have agreed to call the big pond that lies in the town of Webster, where the boundaries of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massa- chusetts join. by the last six syIlables of what some insist is its full name This saves space on the maps and provides a reasona bIe mOuthful for the stranger to Webster's distinguishing natural wonder. There is, of course, no sort of authority for the popular cor ruption, Lake mothersginger- bread" The name complete, according to one authority, contains forty-four letters, of which fourteen are g's- "For short" it has seventeen letters, with only three g's, which would hardly have made the town of Webster and its lake famed far and wide. The as- certainment of the full name ig a perennial inquiry. The dnwarned fn- vestigator is apt to be bamed becauss he will suppose that the amUUt1ted portion followed that which Che maps retain instead of having preceded it.

FRANKIE BURNS
 TO FIGHT COULON
Will Receive $7, ,OOO, Purse for
 Ten Round Bout


 Frankie Burns. who recently dis posed of Banty Lewis at the New Ha- ven Casino. will meet Johnny Coulon for the fourth time tomorrow night Coulon will receive $7,oo0 as his end in ten rounds and must fight and not fake as he did last year. The bout will be fought at Kenosha, Wisconsin.
 Promoters of the Kenosha battle are figuring on Jamming their arena to the roof for the Coulon-Burns con test. More action. is promised to the ten rounds between the lively little nantams than in dozen scraps be- tween middleweights. Action is what the average fight crowd wants, so the promoters are planning to give Chi cagoans a treat in boxing skill and speed.
 Burns is speeding towards Chicago today. having left New York yester- day morning. The weight, 116 pounds ringside. is just right for Burns.

CHAMP ATHLETE
 TO BE MINISTER
Thomson of Princeton Example of
 What Clean Living Does.

New York, June 12.-That clean ltv- ing will in due time show it's good effects is best exemplifed by the gilt edge performances of Fred c. Thom- son. new crowned all-around cham pfon. The big, strapping) collegian. who is studying for the ministry at the Princeton Theological seminary. is an example to the youth of the land.
 Glorying in his perfect streneth. Thomson admits he is in the game merely for the love of the sport. He is one of the few athletes that can be termed a real amateur. He is not of the pot-hunting brand; he competes whenever he likes and cares little for the prizes
 The greatest living amateur a11- around athlete, Thompson, is a real American product. It's no wonder Uncle Sam struts around with his chest expanded when he realizes how far his boys outdistance the Europeans in aIl-around competition
 Thomson's remarkable feat of smashing Jim Thorpe's record Thurs day by 2Sk points gives him a niche in the hall of fame. Except for the broad jump and shotput events. in which Thomson failed to show as well as he should, the chances are he might have lowered the disfranchised Tn dian's mark by a much larger score.

SPORTOGRAPHY

Otto Knabe, the classy second base man of the Philadelphia Nationals will celebratef today, this being Otto's twenty-ninth birthday. MT. Knabe, whose natal festival falls on the same day and date as that of his chief, MT. Red Dooin, is a native of Carrick, Pa His professional baseball career commenced some eight years ago, in the Western League. A Colorado Springs uniform first draped Otto's i've feet seven figure, but he soon left the millionaire city for Pueblo, and finished the 1905 season with that city, One year in the Western served to attract the attention from the scouts of the main circuit, and Otto was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates. He wasn't considered quite wicked enough for Buccaneer, however. and in 1906 was turned over to the Toledo Mudhens. Later he was recalled by Pittsburgh, and was traded to Phfla- defpfaia for Camnttz. This is his seventh season with the Quakers, and the fans are coming to look upon him as a fixture.
 Ever since he broke into baseball Otto has manifested an extreme fond ness for the second pillow. He has not only played that position through out his career, but he has become Ia nous for swatting the pill for two baggers. Since he has been with Philadelphia, Knabe's batting aver ages have ranged from .21S in 1908 to .282 last year, when he was at his batting best. There is nothing re- raarkable in those figures, but Otto is remarkable in the number of dou- bIes he is able to smash out This year he has been living up to his re- Dutation, and, if he keeps going, will probably lead the league in doubles.
 ssRed' Dooin. who is tt1irty-three today, is only one among many dia- rnond stars who have passed the thirty mark. Frank Chance is in his thirty fourth year, Tinker will be thirty three next month, Jake Stah1 is thtr- ty-four Stova1l is thirty-one, Cravath thirty-one, Sam Crawford nearly thir- ty-three, Mathewson thirty three, La joie thirty-seven and 't1onus" Wag- ner is 'sgoing on'' forty.
