Taunton shows symptoms of having the
polo fever. A great deal of interest is
manifested in the sport there as is
evidenced by the fact that every time the
Pawtuckets play at Fall River large num-
bers of cranks go down to Fall River to
yell for Pawtucket, Cunningham and the
Tigers. Speaking about the matter the
Taunton Herald has the following: There
ia strong feeling that there should be a
rink in Taunton and 1t seems that 1t
would be paying investment to anyone
who cares to go into it. The latest plan
that is being talked of is to secure Music
Hall and remodel it, at a small expense
into rink, and the plan Is now prac-
ticable. The city's lease of the hall is
about run out and will not be renewed, as
the militia will move into the new armory
building, leaving the spacious hall vacant.
