HITTING FEM ON A LINE
By Ma steFsoE

CTS think it should be? Those are Both the baseball umpire and the boxing referee are liable to make mis- takes because like ourselves they are only human. It would be impossible for them to satisfy everyone and 90 per cent of them do not try. They give it as they see it.
 Just as an instance of how errors can creep in is given in the score of the second game of the double header at Newfield park yesterday afternoon when the official scorer gives the AL bany score as six when it should have only been five. This error is easy enough to make, but the umpire ruled that Donahue did not score in the ninth inning on the delayed double steal because McCorry cut second base, automatically retiring the side before Donahue crossed the plate The extra run did not make any difference in the game, but the play and decision of the umpire was missed by the off, cia1 scorer.

The Bridgeport team in the Eastern feels keenly the absence of Bill Skiff, who is out of the game with a broken nose, and who may be out of the game for some time to come. Musser is a good catcher. but he lacks the finer points which Skif has and for that reason opposing players take ad- vantage of his limited knowledge.

 With all the set backs that have come to the Bridgeport club this sea- son, the Washers are ep there fight ing just the same and only a few games from the leading New Haven team. slump would materially change the standing in favor of the Washers.
 Roller polo is going to make a bid for patronage in this city this season, but so far the American league has not announced who the owner of the franchise in this city will be except to say that the opening game will be played in this city against Hartford. Up in Hartford they know who is handling the affairs of the league but as far as this city is concerned the league officials are keeping it dark for some reason or other. Roller polo is fast game and one that seems to at tract large crowds in other cities.
 Referees and umpires still come in for their banning at the hands of some and although they make deci- sionS which does not seem right in some quarters still it must be con- ceded that the decision rendered is entirely a matter of judgment. This can hardly be changed The referee at a boxing match gives his decision as ad raw and immediately there is a howl of disapproval. Can the referee wait to hear what the fans think and then give his own opinion? Can the baseball umpire wait for the fans in the grandstand to call a ball or strike and then give the decision as the oth-

AMERICAN LEAGUE GIVES PARK CITY
 POLO FRANCHISE
Bridgeport and Hartford Scheduled to Play Open
 ing Game Sept. IS.
MANAGER UNKNOWN
Coggeshall to Manage Out fit in Hartford But Park
 City Leader Holds Off.

That Bridgeport is going to have organized professional roller polo this fall and winter is the news that ach es this city from Hartford where it is reported that Hartford and Bridgeport will play the opening
 game of the season in the American
 league in this city on Sept. Is. The
 other games .on that date will include games between Fall River and Provi-
 dence in the latter city, while Lowell
 will play at Worcester and Salem at
 New Bedford.
 It is also announced that Allie
 Coggeshal1, a veteran of the game,
 will handle the Hartford franchise,
 but who will be the owner or man
 ager of the Bridgeport club or the
 personnel of the team has not been
 announced.
 According to the story coming out of Hartford, the powers-th -that-be be- hind the American league have liked Connecticut as a prospective terri tory. Even before the close of last season they were making plans to in wade the Nutmeg state this season and when their six-club circuit went i through so successfully. they decided to take a chance on Hartford and Bridgeport as the two most likely looking roller polo cities in the state. The decision to include Bridgeport and Hartford was made at a recent meeting of the magnates and they l immedia te1y entered into negotiations l with Coggeshall. He liked the propo- sition, obtained the franchise and de- ! cided to manage the Hartford team 1 himself It is likely that the owner and man. ager of the local franchise and team 1 will be an old polo player but who 1 he will be has not yet been announc- ] ed Something of the kind may be ex- pected in day or two.

Says Drug Acts Like Dynamite
on Liver and You Lose
Days Work.

There's no reason why person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
n few cents buys a large bottle of Dods
sons Liver Tone--a perfect substitute
for calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel but it doesn't make you sick
and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per-
fectly harmless.
Calomel is dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
win feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow Don't lose days work. Take
a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and you will wake up feeling great.
No more biliousness, constipation, slug
gishness, headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts bet
ter than horrible calomei your money u
