DO BRIDGEPORT
 FANS WANT ROLLER POLO THIS WINTER?
Fanatics In Other Cities Red Hot-Nothing Started Here
 As Yet

From the comments from the va rious cities throughout Connecticut where it is proposed to revive roller polo this winter it would seem that the game could be made go on 8 pay ing basis. In New Haven, Waterbury and New Britain it is said that the fans are especially interested and that everything is about ripe for a revival
 There has not been much talk in Bridgeport about the favorite winter sport, so it is impossible to tell just at the present time how the natives take to the idea. Bridgeport has not had polo in several winters. When the sport was revived it paid well and for two years the Park City was rep resented by winning quintets, and was. a red hot polo town. That some thing about the game, which can be explained as only lack of interest, combined with financial difficulties got the game in wrong in town, and a change was made to other climes. If a team is placed here, and there is every reason to believe there will be one, it is not known just now where the games will be played. There is a possi bility that the contests can be ripped off at the Park City rink in State street. The owners of that building consider that the land upon which it stands is too valuable for f Construction and erect stores in it's stead. It is stated that the building swill be renoved to the rear of the present site. There are no other places in town which. are suitable for polo purposes, unless some building is fitted over.
 Polo, under proper conditions, is ad- mttted by thousands to be the most exciting game played in the United States either indoor or outdoor From. the nature of the sport, there is con tact every minute while the ball is in play, naturally producing excitement and thrills. It is a game that re- quires not only skill, but stamina and dexterity, and it is picturesque as we'll No other winter sport at all compares with it and if the game is placed on the solid basis that the present pro motors propose, it will und ou bted1y flourish in Connecticut.
 =. Stars Ready to Sign Up.
 All the big stars in the game, in
 cluding Fred Jean, Bobby Hart, liar ry Lyons. John Mercer, Bill Harkins, Bill Bannon. Teddy Lewis, Candy Har- Iper, Jack Garrigon and others, have been in negotiations with the pro-
 motors for the past few weeks, and the poloists state they are perfectly willing to enter the Connecticut lea under the terms proposed. Tentative
 teams have already been made up by the managers, with a view of having the clubs as evenly balanced as pos stb1e, so that the race would be close and exciting from the start. Polo, l like baseball, has been killed by a run
 away race of one team, and it is the l desire of the managers to divide up the stars and give every city a. chance 1 to have a strong and weE- balanced club.

REULBACH, VETERAN OF GREAT CUB MACHINE,
 IOWA DODGER

When Pitcher Ed ReuIbachs was traded by Chicago to Brooklyn this month, the deal marked another step toward the final breaking up of the great Cub machine that won National League pennants for the Windy City in 1906, 1907, 1908 and 1910.
 It was just ten years ago that Ed ward Marvin Reulbach, a mere broth of a lad on the right, side of twenty one and not over six foot two inches in height, made his professional base ball debut. On the uniform that en- cased his manly form appeared the word "Sedal1a,'' indicating that he was a member in good standing of the Seda1ia, Mo, club of the Missouri Valley League-Iater the Western As sociation, later the Oklahoma ?Arkan- sas-Kansas League, later defunct. Lawson D., was the way his name ap- peared in the box score, for which alias there was a, reason not uncon- nected with the fact that. under his proper rnonaker, MT. Reu1bach was captain and pitcher of the baseball team of Notre Dame University. Be- fore going to college and -SedaIia he had played with the Manuel Training school team of St. Louis and the Triple A. League of the same city. Thanks largely to the twirling ability of our hero, SedaIia won the Missouri Valley League pennant in 1903, by a wide margin.
 In 1904, at the conclusion of the college siesta, or semester, Reulbach again put on his baseball clothes and his alias. and played with Montpelier, in the Mountain State League. There he attracted the attention of the Cubs and his release was bought from Se- dalia, which still had a mortgage on his services. He speedily twirled him. self into fame and into the hearts ot the Chicago fans.
 As a pitcher, ReuIbach at his best had few superiors in the game, and his prowess with the pill was of nc small assistance in copping four flags for the Cubs In Sedalias he had g reputation as a batter, doing owe. 300, but in Chicago his stickwork gradually grew worse until it almost reached the vanishing point in the batting averages.

OTIS CRANDALL TRADED
 BACK TO GIANTS AGAIN

Miller Huggins. leader of the Cardi- naIs, traded Otis Cranda11 back to the Giants last night for a cash. cons1dera- ton and a player, who will be handed over to the St. Louis club later in the season, perhaps after the Giants win the pennant This should be only a matter of short time, judging by the poor way the Phi1lies are playing now. The amount paid for the return of Crandal1 and the name of the play CT who figures in the deal were not revealed.
 CrandalI was traded to the Cardi- nals on Aug. 6, while the Giants were in a. slump and just after Big Chief Meyers had injured his hand. Me Graw was in need of a seasoned catch er and Doe was sacrificed for Larry Mclean Soon after CrandaI1 was traded reports came from Cincinnati that McGraw and several of his play CTS had a fist fight in the hotel where the team was stopping. It was. said that the players were angry with Mo Graw for letting Oti go, and in an argum ent several blows were exchang- ed.i McGraw denied the rumors and said that he traded Cranda11 for the good of the team.
 Crandan was dissatisfied with the change, and instead of reporting to the St. Louis club immediately he came East and practtced at the Polo Grounds with the HiGhlanders- Cram dall joined the Cardinals in Phila- de1phia when the St. Louis club came East.

HOW MUCH WILL A BALL PLAYER
 COST IN 1920?
Prices Going Up Year After Year, The Latest Being
 $1OO,OOO

That the market for baseball play ers,is still on the upgrade clearly ap- peara |, in the reported purpose of the waskAington teams manager to offer s1oo. .OOo. to the Detroit club for Tyrus Cobb. This is the largest figure at which a,ball player has ever been cap 4ta1izsd-
 Is he worth it? He Is still under 30 years. Of age and in the full tide of a great fame and drawing power for the worth. 1t he must have a drawing pow CT forfthe Washington club equal each year to shis salary, now said to be $12,- 900, and assum additional which for a short series of years will sink this cap lafalized value of $1e0000.
 He is slfke a bond bought. at a heavy rreuatunrs " hich must yield to the buy CT a good market rate of interest and enough more to amor tize the premium before maturity. Or he is like a slave whose capital value depends upon the time, during which his present earning power may be expected to last. If the great yTyrus can for ten years be worth to the Washington club his salary of s12. .5oO and s10ooe additional plus the yearly interest on the unpaid debt, he
 will notAbesa losing investment to that club
 But in any case when the great American game develops such hnan- cfalN 1nagnftudes and speculative pos sibilfties as this. some way may have
 to be. found for a wider distribution Of the burden and risk by incorpora ting Endiv4dusI Eba1 players and having their stock and bonds listed for trading on the New York stock exchange.

MANAGER CROSS ' WILL NOT PROTEST
 YESTERDAYS GAME
Was Right in His Contention That Batch Should. Not Be
 Declared ''Ouf'

|. Manager Monte Cross stated today that though he had made a. verbal protest of the contest with Hartford yesterday he had not as yet h1sd a written protest with President I EE O'Rourke. He probably will not. Inc consensus is that Cross has good grounds for the protest. Tn the fourth inning of the game through a-n oversight Batch took 1dcGamWelPs turn 'at bat" He cracked out a single Then A1cGamwe7l came to bat. One hall had been pitched to him when the batting out of order was dlg- covered Manager AGcDonald fmme- diately protested to Umpire Kennedy who ruled Batch out and told Salmon to pitch ahead to McGannWsll. Man ager cross rushed un 10 Kennedy aslc- ing if Batch had teen declared out 'Ts that decision dna12~ asked CrogE- Kennedy replied that it was. where upon Manager Cross stated that ho would protest the game. Imp Kennedy making the announcement to the spec tators that the game was being play ed under. protest. That was all Man aser Cross had to say to the decia- ion.
 Today President 0,RourIzs stated that Umpire Kennedy erred in decIar- ing Batch out that his decision should have been to declare mcGauWelI the ba.tsman out. He quoted Rule E1 i Sec. 1, which reads, The batsrnau is out if he fails to take his position at the bat in the order in which hfr name appears on the batting -list, un- l less the error is discovered and the i proper batsman replace him before ha becomes a, base runner in which casa the balls and strikes called must be counted in the time at bat Of tho proper batsman. But only the proper l batsnan shall be declared our and no runs shall be scored or basas run because of any act of the improper | batsman.'
 Continuing President O'RourIzs de- 1 clared. that Manager Cross erred some what when he did not point out to | Umpire Kennedy where he was wrong. 'tIt is the given right of the manager | to question decisions where there ig any doubt of the interpretation Of the rules. Manager Cross should have in- formed Kennedy where he was wrong | President ORourlke took his umpire somewhat to task when he said they should carry rule books with them CT have ordered them" he Eafd "to aI-
 ways have the rule book with t4ern. I but somehow they seem to diEreEar1 my advice"
 It is not likely that Manager Croea 1 will file written protest as it is n0t likely that if the decision was other different. If the contest Was closs.

 The only change that will result is that Heine Batch will be credited with a hit and another time at bal- | Yesterday after he was declared out. | McGamweu also went out, afte1

WALTER ELWOOD WILL REFEREEWRESTLING BOUTS
pr. IF. RI. Clarke Consents to Act As Ring Physician in Coming Match
 at Warner Hall.

The wrestling match between Jim PouIios, Stanley Holwicz and Cnaki which Bill NGcGuire has been using his best efforts to arrange for some time is at last settled and will be staged in Warmer Hall on theS evening of Sept. 9th. Poulfos will attempt to throw the two latter men within the space of one hour. All of the men are grappIers of no small amount of rep utation and ability and the match should provelon of considerable inter est and worthy of attention. Poulios has already downed Cnalxi and bids fair from records of past perform ahces to make good his intention of putting both Cnaki and KoIwicz to the mat in the allotted time. Walter FL wood will referee the match while pr. Harold M. Clarke has kindly consented to act in the capacity of ring physi- elan. The presence of both these gen tlemen, in itself, will tend to demon strate the cleanness of the sport and this when coupled with the regulations of the contestants will assure the suc- cess of Mr. McGuire'S venture. The sporting public of our city have shown in the past that they would lend their support to the profnotion of clean, hon. est wrestling, the best man to win, and this is just what MT. McGuire has in mind in arranging this match

MIKE DONLIN LOST TO BASEBALL WORLD
Mike Is Not A Scream As An Actor While Playing
 Alone

Reference to Mike Don1fn'e, lack of good sense in leaving the baseball dia- mond, where he was 8 star, for the vaudeville stage, where he was a mere shine without his wife, the viVacious Mabel tHite, has been made before. in these and other columns. A reminder Of his once great proWess with the stick is found in his unconditional re- lease by the Phillies, to whom he has never reported, although purchased by them from the Pittsburgh club. Mike Donlin, once a mighty, sIugger and, when he was with the Giants, one of the most feared hitters in the National League is apparently down and out as far as baseball is concerned. If he had stuck to the game that suited him instead of quitting. disgruntled over salary matters, and taking up some thing wholly foreign to him, he might still be in his prime. Of course, there's a possibility that his career might have ended ere this if he had continued playing ball, but even if 1t had, his deeds would still be fresh in the minds of the fans that have seen him play. Now he is almost forgotten.
 He was fortunate in having for a partner such a popular little woman as Mabel Hite, who was always a tergoers. She kept him on top when he had discovered that he was a fail- ure in both baseball and vaudeville. If he had loved the game as much as she did-for any one who ever saw l and heard her at a ball game would never doubt her fondness for the sport 1 he never would have left it; but If
 1t hadn't been for her, he probably never would have thought of going on l the stage. At any rate, it is unfortu-
 nate that baseball should have lost
 such a fine example of the modern player.
