Sporting Notes.

Many of the patrons of polo in this city
were somewhat exercised last evening to
learn that it had been reported in Provi-
dence that George Bone, the well-known
rusher of the Pawtucket polo team, was
to be exchanged for Menard of Providence.
The story was to the effect that Managers
Murray and Meiklejohn had held con-
ference in Providence, and the result was
that an exchange of the players had been
arranged and would go into effect next
week. Bone was in Providence, and hear
ing the story from what he considered a
reliable source came home in a very dis
gusted frame of mind, and the cranks who
heard about il were in q very similar con-
dition. When the report reached Paw
tucket It was too late to either have 1t con-
nrmed or denied, but this morning Man.
ager Meiklejohn put stop to the whole
matter by making the positive statement
that there was no truth or foundation to
the story.
AS far az the Providence end of the mat
ter is concerned there Is but little doubt
that an arrangement of this kind would
give general satisfaction in that city, and
to Manager Murrry in particular. While
the unreliable way in which Menard has
appeared with the Grays may not be en-
tirely his fault, yet it is an open secret that
the management OF the Providence team
are not satisfied with him.
So IL Providence wants to make any
deal, dicker, purchase, swap or bargain
they will have to train their opera glasses
on some more distant territory. Expert
snce is great teacher, and Pawtucket has
had considerable.
