NEARING The END.
New Bedford Game With the Witches
Is on the Schedule.

Manager Meiklejohn of the Pawtucket
club wrote to the secretary of the National
Roller Polo League last Saturday, saying
that Pawtucket people We're talking about
the fact that New Bedford had game in
salem next week which was not down on
the schedule. This is not true. The game
is down on the official schedule. Original
ly the game was down for the Fall River
club 1t was thought the New Bedford
club would be stronger attraction in Sa-
lem the last week than the Fall River
club and accordingly the change was
made as far back as last December. Both
New Bedford and Pawtucket play the
same number of games with Salem, and
in this, the final week of the season, both
Pawtucket and New Bedford play decisive
games in Fall River. The other out-of-town
game pawtucket will play i'm Providence
on Monday, while New Bedford will play
in Salem on Thursday.

still at variance but the betting seems 60

yesterday are mostly commissions

Shrcwd sports still assert that the bet
ting will Inc even money by Tuesday
night, and claim that Fitzsimmons sup
porters would do wise thing To snap at
all the wagers in sight at prevailing odds.

II is very probable that the North Cali

Whcelmen will go out of existence. This
fact was made evident ut "a meeting last
night OF n division board Of officers. The
meeting was called chiefly TO receive the
report of Messrs. Kerrigan and Welsh,
delegates to the national assembly at Al

situation caused by the action of the as
