1t looks as though that man Glenalvin
of Detroit and Grand Rapids had designs
on the Pawtucket baseball club; possibly
he would like to purchase the franchise
and take the club out west bodily. On
Saturday Hobe Whiting, ball player, polo
player and good fellow generally, received
the following: "Would you like to play in
Grand Rapids the coming season? Please
Yours, p. j. Glenalvin." We don't doubt
that the gentleman from the wild and
woolly West would like to have both Hor-
with the Bowlers.

Canada Wants the Rig Fight.
Buffalo, Dec 14.-Local sporting mel
are discussing a proposition made by
number OF well known sports from To-
ronto and Hamilton, Ont. to have Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons meet in Canada
The proposition is that a combination
be made of we'll known Buffalo, Toronto
and Hamilton men and a big purse be
cdered. the fi;-ht to take place i'm Hamil-
ton. There is n hall In that city capa BILE
Of holding at least 10, 900 people, and the
Canadians say that they are reasonably

Polo Pointers.
With Capt. Whiting back in the game
the Tigers will not be long in evening back
reverses.
Mike Curley develops face that would
sour vinegar when goal is scored on him
Mt an opportune time.
II you want to make Billy Keough smile
ask him what he thinks of the criticisms
of the Providence Journal man on how
the game should be conducted.
There is no denying the fact that Capt.
Cotter is playing the game of his life this
season. He Is 20 pounds lighter in weight
than last season, and Is as spry as a colt in
20 acre lot.
Wiley was one of the players who en-
deavored to freeze Bartlett out of the
game, it is said. The aforesaid Mr.. Wiley
Is now warming the bench, while Bartlett
is putting up slashing game.
Bartlett, the clever young centre Of the
Salems, has fairly earned his right to
permanent place on the team by his fast
and telling work. He has decidedly
strengthened the team, and no player is
greater favorite.
President Murnane was a spectator at
Saturday nights game in Providence, and
Is credited with the remark that the Grays
have been letting the wrong men go. The
work of both Griffin and Bartlett since
they became witches Is up to all require
ments.
There is nothing the matter with the
| playing OF Leydon. He was In the game
every moment on Saturday night, and the
trouble was that the other men had an of
night. Leydon worked like trojan, and
was not afraid TO 60 up against Cotter and
his men in real style.
Capt. Whiting Is getting along nicely,
and will be In the game at the Auditorium
on "Wednesday night, when the Grays play
here for the first time since Menard joined
| the team. Hobe could play tonight. but
