 Too bad Pawtucket didn't continue in the league. The Times writer in that city was rapidly hammering his way to the position of first sledge''' in the anvil cherus.-Lawrence Tele- gram. Lay on AIacduff and," well, enough said.
 Some of the amateur games played in the Hartford, Meriden and Water bury rinks previous to the regular games are worth seeing. They are last, exciting contests and the players receive quite as much applause as the members of the National league teams. Lawrence Telegram.
 The Waterbury fans are certainly supporting their team in great shape New Haven. with the championship five, playing championship polo. are not drawing as they deserve. There are now being played some of the cleverest games that have ever been seen on the polo surface.-New Haven Lender
 The Lawrence Telegram says that An example should be made of some of these club-swinging goal tends. All right. Begin with Little Willie Tib- bettS.-Brockton Enterprise. Name a player Waldo ever hit with his club and we'll buy you a watch. How q man can keep tab with a Waterbury passes our comprehension.--L Telegram.
 Those Yellow Jackets down Spring field way remind one of the time hon ored yellow tailed hornet that is quite persuaQer when he gets close enough. Some of the polo teams in the National get stung when they run up against Springfield's aggrega- tion.-Pawtucket Times. They are pretty husky lot of ''stlngers'' you can bet. We are nursing the latest prod to-day.
 Down in Portland few of the dyed in the wool cranks are writing con- munlcations to the press trying to square Mckays boys for their many defeats. while the Portland manager is offering all kinds of money for rush CTS he knows it is impossible to get. Results show that the Portland mag mates are q few chips shy on knowl- edge of the game. With proper coach ing an average rusher should fit in on the Portland team to make it a win ming combination. It's apples to air that Walter Burnham could have land ed a winner for Lawrence Telegram.
 First it was Pawtucket, and now Salem has collapsed The Southeast ern circuit is falling to pieces from it's own weight, and only a few short weeks ago the Brockton and Lawrence writers were telling US how strong the Bay State league circuit was financial ly-Hartford Post. Salem has stopped. perhaps only temporarily, because of dissentiOn among her quartette of managers. Pawtucket was never a hope from the start with Cunningham and Conway as managers. But look at shaky Meriden in your own league son. and Springfield is a more or less doubtful proposition unless Aufort is ready to lose mOney.-Brockton Enter prise. What prophets there are in the polo world and how true their DroDhe- cies are becoming.
 There seems to be a pretty united sentiment along the circuit for the election of officers of the National league right in the state. That Jake Morse is a good fellow and has the good of the game at heart does not make him the better fitted for secre- tary than a man who is in the circuit who is thoroughly familiar with the game. If the polo league could select a man who would be interested in all the workings of the league it would be a great thing for the game What would be the matter. for instance, with pr James H. Kelley of this city. He would make a corking good presiding officer and being out of the managerial Armament would prove disnterested enough to suit the various interests Then select q good man for secretary. who sees a game once in while and who would have a chance to get next to the scorers and referees and the league affairs would take a brace. Tom Reilly would make a good secretary There is no earthly reason why the league shouldn't take the matter in hand at once and bring their organiza- ton into condition which would be a credit to them.-New Haven Leader.
