One or the local papers yesterday again stirred up the dissatisfaction that the releas- ing of Newcomb occasioned. The attack on the polo management was entirely uncalled for, and calls for further remarks In the first place Newcomb has not, and never will be re instated, for no one is re .instated un- less he is blacklisted. The fact is those who started that petition were the first ones to say they were wrong when the other They said they never would have started the petitition if they had known how matters really stood. There have been but two games played since Newcomb was res leased, and there was no falling off of re- ceipts except on Friday night, when many went to the athletic games at the armory. Then it is said that polo is run in the inter est of the public, and the public should be the ones to satisfy. If that was go there wouldn't be any sport in the country. Polo patrons don't patronize the game here out of sympathy for the management, but because they feel that after seeing game they have had their moneys worth. If the public
 nsnt will probably sell out. When the public condemns every move of the polo managers it is invariably because it is not in- formed as to the facts. And they shouldn't be- It behooves the public to see that the po- 10 managers are trying to do everything they can to have good polo, and they should eus- tain them. The Meridens play here tonight and Newcomb plays with them. Don't let it go out that a New Haven audience misses it's own team simply because of something the management has done. Cheer for both sides if you want to, but don't hiss. Go up and give the New Ravens 8 rousing reception for winning in Hartford, for it is she first game they have won there since Golfer and Sea1y were transferred from Pawtucket.
 H,I IlnI up the grand stand tomorrow, and will have one hundred men, if need be, at work. MT. Colwell will first take up about 3 200 square feet of turf and then will blow the lot. He said yesterday that he expected to have the ground ready for rolling by week from to- day, weather permitting. Mr. Lincoln will start in this morning digging holes for the fence posts. Mir. Hubben says that he can get the grand stand up in week.
 It is proposed to run line of barges to the ground, in order that the public may have proper accommodations.
 Crowds of people were out at the field yes- terday, which shows that there is great in- terest felt in the new movement.
 The season tickets will be out to-day. It is proposed that each person buying one shall have seat reserved in the center of the stand. The reporters stand will be in the front row.
 Manager Spence on Saturday closed with Horner and Warner, the celebrated Baltimore battery. This makes sixteen men under con- tract. Homer and Warner have played to- gether for several seasons, last year being in Milwaukee and playing against such batteries as Lovett and Wilson and Viau and Dillon. Each received $250 month last season. This completes the team.
 The schedule meeting of the league, will be held in Jersey City tomorrow afternoon. Manager Spence went to New York Saturday to make final arrangements for the opening game with the New Yorks, and also to close with other teams for exhibition games.
 Secretary Braden, of the Atlantic league, is positively indiseIeet, and, in the terms of the vernacular, decidedly fresh. He has been kind enough to give his views about the New Haven team, and they were not very complimentary. MT. Braden's opinion didn't amount to much anyway in baseball, but the fact that he is paid servant of the league, makes his utterances more serious than they otherwise would be. MT. Braden wants to be more careful in the future
