 A proposition made in Boston Saturday was that series of three games for $500 each be played between a club from the Massachusetts polo league and one from the Connecticut league Those games would be for blood and give the Connecticut club in that event.
 Two attempted Boston deals have just been unearthed. One was an exchange of Radbourn and Daily for Boyle, of Indiana polls, ,and the other was an offer for Smith. of Pitsburg. In the first case Indianapolis declined with thanks, and in the second case Pittsburg wanted nearly as much fol Smith as the club paid for Dunlap. What is the matter with hiring Cottel and Seeley to rush against New Haven next Wednesday night-Bridgepor correspon- dent of Hartford Globe. What is the matter with Article 24 of the bylaws which says no manager can engage any player connected with any other club in the New England association unless the player can show a written release from that club. Thompson, Detroit's great right fielder is troubled with apeculiar affection of the muscles of his right leg. The under part of the leg, from the hip to the knee, is very st re and somewhat infamed. 4 curious circumstance is that the relief can be had only by walking. The leg did not pain him any when playing, but he goes half crazy with pain while sitting down any length of time.
 Jean Jacques was in Boston yesterday 1 looking after good polo players. The Bos ton polo cranks did not know what te make of Waterburys old polo manager and his tactics put them all at sea. They at first thought he was 8 :sailor,' but when he did net take the bate they set him down as New orker, and when he left on an afternoon express for New York they were convinced that he was looking for players for the great teams in and about New York. It is probable that two or three players will be added to the team soon. The present team is playing brett } good polo and if they continue they vii pull out of the tail end of the league

If Manager Harris thinks he can pit such a r1lsher as .'Mul'' Smith against the re. doubtable Cunningham with any degree of success let him look at Cunningham's record. Last night, for instance, he cap, tured eight out of nine rushes, ana caSed the ball four times Frazier's playing was immense and Hill and Griffin did good work, while Babbitt played fine game at goal. Most of the goals were made Tn quick time, but the sixth was hard battle. Smith got the ball and the fight began Up and down the surface the ball was driven, Waterbury having the ad- vantage at one time and Bridgeport at an other. So the struggle continued until Cunningham finally drove the ball into the cage The goal lasted 16 minutes and ol

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 23.-After a
struggle with the weather for five days,
Charleston threw up the sponge to-day and
decided to postpone all further amusements
till next week-in other words, to extend

railroads came readily into the agreement,
and have not only extended all excursion
tickets sold already TIL Nov. 80, but have
also agreed to sell tickets at gala weak
prices until Friday. The executive com
mittee have therefore mapped out another
programme for next week. This will in
clude the races. pyrotechnic display, the
trades display, the grotesque parade,
the lawn tennis tournament, the
ilumi iation of the harbor, the
bombardment of Fort Sumter and mum
Der of other attraction, which had to be
omitted in consequence Of the rain. The
only feature of to-day was the rifle com
petitive team match at the Fourth brigade
range. for which there we're sixteen teams
entered The Sumter Guards won both the
first and seco "a matches, and the German
Fusliers tie third. he weather is still
wet and cold, and while the visitors are de-
parting by hundreds, the incoming trains
are still crowded. Both theaters tonight
had to stop selling tickets half an hour be-
fore the curtain went up.

Conformation has reached the World from
a very authoritative source, that The switch
men on all the trunk lines from the Missis-
sippi to New York have united in a demand
upo5 the roads for an increase of pay and
a settlement of other grievances. The mat
ter has been kept in the utmost secresy by
the parties TO the controversy, but there
were earnest consultations in this city la ,t
night among the officers of the trunk lines
They have been given until Saturday to
respond TO the requests of the switchmen,
and after that if these are not granted, or a
compromise cannot be reached, a general

same high authority last night that it was
likely the New York Central system would

The statement finds no confirmation in

have heard of it, and the opinion expressed
is that the report is untrue. The Baltimore
