Polo Pointers.
Perry has been released outright by Sa
lem.
Capt. Whiting will be iu the game to-
morrow night against the Grays.
Billy Keough missed his train to Salem
last night, and was spectator at the game
in Providence.
William Murray has full control of the
Providence polo club, Fred Clark having
turned the business over to his late
manager for consideration.
Archie Newcomb officiated in the absence
of the regular referee. The Tigers lost a
goal on fouls, all of which, however, were
of the most fragrant variety.
All the goals scored in last nights game
at Providence were the result of the heaIs
lest kind of playing when 1t came to put
ting the finishing touches on.
Halfback seems to be the most important
position on apollo team. Conway, Whiting,
Everett and Furbush are the most valuable
men on the teams they play with.
Manager Carroll says hatlMenard will be
protected fully when he goes to play in
Salem. Manager Murray of the Providence
team says that he will take his team off
the floor should any one try to interfere
with his playing.
Menard did more fouling than any player
on the surface at Infantry Hall last night,
and it is refreshing this morning, too, to
see what the Providence Journal man
thought of his playing. AS in everything
| else it depends on whose OK is gored.
The Dawson boys of this city are doing
| the "brother act" in great shape for the
| Portland team of the Maine State League.
Last night the Portlands met their dreaded
rivals, the Rocklands, at Rockland, and
| won by score of 8 to 2. The Dawson boys
put up a splendid exhibition of team
| work, playing together like clock work
| OF the six goals scored by Portland, w.
Dawson made five and j. Dawson scored
| one.
1t was 8:42 when the game at Infantry
Hall started last night and at 9:23 o'clock
| the final gong sounded. Five goals were
scored, five fouls were called and there
were two waits between the innings of al
most five minutes duration. Timer Raw
sons watch must have been endeavoring
to make up for time lost during the week.
1t might have been owing to the slashing
game the Tigers were putting up toward
the close as 1t was only a question of a
very brief space of time when the Paw
| tuckets would have scored another goal,
and perhaps equalized matters.
| General Sporting Notes.
Kid Mccoy has received diamond
studded medal from his admirers at
Johannesburg, South Africa.
Dan Creedon's money from the fight
with Dick O'Rrien has been attached
for $500 hotel and training bill.
The word 'liar" seems to have been de-
tailed for permanent duty by the various
claimants OF that $4,000 prize fight purse.
The bicycle racers at Madison Square
Garden have succeeded in accomplishing
some wonderful long distance records
without running down single pedestrian.
Bob Fitzsimmons has sent the gloves
with which he knocked out Tom Sharkey
to "Yank" Sullivan, the noted sporting
man Of Syracuse, N. Y, who stood with
him In his trouble about Con Riordan.
Peter Maher looks with much favor
upon a match with Tom Sharkey, and
states that he will be ready to fight the
ex-sailor next month IL necessary. He
does not underrate Sharkeys prowess as
boxer, but thinks that IL he catches him q
lew times on the jaw with his right Shar-
Key will go out In short order.
