 What shame it is that Bridgeport could not have had polo this year. The Gcribes there have been whetting their appetite all summer with the eXpecta- ton of having < team and to help them fight their battles. But you may mark it on the map that Bridgeport | will for a certainty have club there next scason.-New Haven Register.
 From the outskirts Waterbury looks like the weak sister of the major cr- ganization The Brass city fans won't stand for poor team and they already have their hammers working on Daly. Fox and Parsons. The latter can play good polo if he has auy assistance. but possibly Daly and Fox won't do. That would be 2 sad story after all the talk and work to land them.-PaWtucket Times. We are doing pretty well, thank you.
 The Victor ball is being used in
 place of the Spaldin& this year aud
 50 far has proven q failure. It easily
 gets out of shape and soft. None of
 the players are able to handle it with
 accuracy. and it will cause great
 many injuries to players. What iS
 wanted Is 8 ball that the hardest hit
 ting player can raise over four feet
 from the floor on & drive, and such
 ball can be produced just AS well aS
 the miserable apology for ball we
 have now. So says Jimmy LatiOnS.
 The efferveGcent Fred Doe has made
 another trip 10 this state on B search
 for players. His promise to the Maine
 league supporters that he would pres
 eut to their SRZe big bunch of u&-
 tiOnaI league stars has not been ful-
 filled and now, instead of stars he is
 satisfied with just little falling me
 te0rs. Failing to secure Menard, Hef
 fornan. ct aiG, he paid visit to Wa
 terbury the other day and made &n
 offer for young Ch2tfeld. The lat
 ter is & very clever youugster but Is
 Q novice. in comparison with the men
 that Doe promised the people up thera.
 Tho players in Connecticut have been ! kJT HxiE +, hn T,1i
 ton and possibilities Of the Maine
 league and are not over-anxiouS to
 take long chanceS.-NeW Haven Reg
 iSter.
 The projected location of a pelo
 team ill New Britain has not been
 abandoned by any means, but simply
 held in abeyance. The best judgment
 of the most competent polo men in the
 National league will last until Thanks
 giving day, and that the Massachu-
 setts league will undergo changes that
 may entail the joss of town or two
 before the season is 2 great many
 moons older. Tn that event there will be a lot of players to look for places. The best of the players will then be punched together in 2 team and To- catCd at New Britain. The man to back the proposition is in this city ) and is quite impatient to get the team , going. If sufficient material be obtain able another club will be established In another town. Connecticut Is the
 natural home of polo and the close of
 this season will see it more firmly es-
 tablished here than ever before.-New . Haven Register.
 : Manager Billy Parsons of Water ) bury was handicapped by the threads r made by Fred Doe, who held last sea- sons team under contract. Hipson [ went to Maine with Doe, Stsrkie was 7 transferred to Hartford and Eddie 5 1 MeI.ard is still unsigned, although ] terms equal to last season were offer ! ed. Doherty was the property of ? Henry \. Jennings, who controlled = his services and at the meeting of the league MT Jennings transferred him ] to Manager COtter. It thus devolyed = upon Manager Parsons to secure an en- 3 tirely new team. He signed Daly and 5 Fox, two of the crack players of last - seasons Southeastern league and with : Fred Jeans, the former New Britain :, l player, the nucleus of g fast team was : secured. Frank Warner was after l ward transferred to Waterbury by ] 1 Manager Canavsn of New Haven and t with Tommy Holderness the Brass city l team WAS made up. Parsons himself ' decided to act as substitute during the g opening weeks of ths season, although l he is still in hopes of securing Hipson 3 who was last season. Hipson signed | with Doe at $50 per week, in spite of - the fact that he was offered more than 2 that sum to remain in Waterbury. Ii a is said that during the past week the 2 recreant rusher has written for terms D and it is not outside the bounds o1 - possibility that the star player will be l. seen in ths Brass.city uniform before e the close of the week. With HipsoI
 Parsons would have team faster ' than last seasons, as both Daily and : Fox are corners and are bound tC l reach the front rank.-Hartford
 Globe.
