 TOMORROW


 The Lowell club with the new line here tomorrow afternoon at the Ca local club. Wayne Palmer. who came east this week and joined the club, is one of the speediest and best rushes playing the game today. It was only after two months of constant dicker- ing that he decided to come on and play with the Lowell team and hardly had he been in uniform when he won the first game by shooting two diff cult goals from the side of the rink. a feat which he often performs.
 Ferdie Harkins, recently traded by Hartford, is the running mate of Fahrner, and as Ferdie is at home with the Lowell team he is playing the game of his long career.
 Bert Malloy, the thousand legged goal tender Is still kicking them away as he did in the other days and has made a big improvement in the de- fence of the club.
 Scrappy Frank Hardy and Dick halfback, respectively, and are stop ping many well-directed plays as us- ual.
 The local club has been in slight slump, but are now emerging from it and are always dangerous whether winning or losing. Preliminary game at 2.30 between Crasho-Rosebuds. leading contenders in the amateur league.
 Jimmy Graham, of Providence, will referee his first game here, President Moore having decided to send all the referees over the entire circuit.

MUzRHEADS STAR
 MP(1LO VICTOR Y OYER HARTFORD

Muirhead was the glittering star in Bridgeport's polo victory over Hart ford in the Capital City last night, by the score of to 4, in an extra period encounter.
 Bridgeport won out in a whirlwind finish that staggered the Hartford team. Hartford had a to 2 lead go- ing into the third period, and it look ed as though the game was on ice, but Williams slipped one through Hueffner after quite a tussle and then, about three minutes later, with the ball in front of the Hartford cage, 1t rnysteriously bounced into the net ting for an accidental counter that dead1ocked the score
 In the overtime period Pence was kept decid edly busy, and so was Hueffner and the two teams fought on even terms until that veteran of the game, Muirhead, decided to take matters in his own hands. He car ried the ball down the length of the floor, waited patiently until Williams was unguarded and had taken a po- sftion in front of the Hartford cage and then passed the ball. The pass was perfect and Williams relayed the bulb into the netting for the goal 7 that gave Bridgeport the game.

WALSH HAS WORD ROW
 WITTY LANE
Marty Refused $50 Salary Advance Threatens to Quit Club-Clams $75 Has Been Due Him For
 Past Four Years
(By GEO. E. FIRsrBRooK.)

Gene McCann was spotted on Main street last evening attired in the latest Broadway toggery topped off with a brown derby.
 Said brown derby excited the curi- ous and the question was soon being flashed, "Wonder if it's a present from Marty Walsh," as Marty was also a visitor in town yesterday:
 Marty was seen earlier in the day carrying bulky package containing something looking like a brown der by, but from all accounts he had be- slowed the guerdon upon Clark Lane, president of the Bridgeport Baseball club.
 At any rate during his sojourn here, Walsh made public the fact that he had read the riot act to MT. Lane by informing the latter that he. will not play on the Brid geport team. next season, and that he will content himself with playing semi-pro ball in the metropolis.
 Refused Salary Advance.
 The warbling athlete explained that purpose of getting $50 advance and signing 1921 contract The advance was refused, consequently Marty did not attach his John Han cock to any baseball document be. fore his departure.
 Walsh was caustic in his denuncia. tion of the attitude of Lane when he recounted his faithful service for the Bridgeport club since 1915, and real 1y Marty had just cause for feeling sore ever such shabby treatment, as he went on to explain the financial | situation existing between himself | and the Bridgeport club.
 | Walsh claimed that the club has been indebted to him to the extent of lS75 since 1916, and that only s25
 was ever paid him on account, tha,
 was a short time ago when MT. Lane 1 handed him over that amount. q made no attempt to collect the $50
 due me- said Walsh, "but merely l asked him to advance me $50 on my 1 salary account for next year. 1 think that's pretty rotten treatm en'
 to g. player who has given the best | there is +, him for four years" Has $4,0O0 Position. | There was also a bright side tc i Walsh's visit and his many local ad-
 mirers will be glad to hear of his
 success. Walsh is connected with the Standard Monograph company | of New York, as a record recorder. a 1 a salary of S4 900 and a royalty of II cents on every record marketed. 1 Holding such a fat job there is nc | doubt but that Walsh will stick tc
 his determination not to play witl | Bridgeport and cast his luck witf | New York and Dro-tearns which have been paying salaries on a par with
 minor league stipends.
 l Bridgeport fans will be sorry tt
