NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.
Meriden here tonight.


 Springfield is playing some polo these days, and is drawing pretty good crowds. It must make Billy Murray feel like thirty cents to see the chance he missed.
 Arlington, formerly with Lewiston, and Rooney. formerly with East Wey- mouth. played with Salem Wednesday evening, taking the place of the jump CTS Woods and Purcell.-Brockton Times.
 Over in Meriden they call the Wa terbury players a bunch of alleged polo players. It will be interesting to- night to see this bunch of players play tag with the WearerS of the green suits. It would never do for Water bury to be beaten by this quintet and the fans who attend tonight will be assured of a good game.
 If Connecticut men are to replace the present president and secretary of the National league. there are a number of worthy men in Waterbury who would doubtless fill the position satiS- orily.-Hartford Times. Thank you. I didn't suppose you were ac- quainted with the writer Whats the salary. anyway?
 The Indians journey to Springfield tonight and Cotter and lis hired men will have to play some fast polo if they intend to break their losing streak. The tigers are q warm propo- sition on their own surface and Wa terbury found this to Ee a fact several nights ago.-HurtfOrd Post. And that fact has now iourneyed on.
 There is big room for doubt in the assertion that Lewis of the Merdens made q goal i'll one second the other l night. The timer had better get new watch or keep better hourS.-Lawrence News. It would take longer to get to the spot than that. to say nothing of | the time it would take the ball to ] travel to the cage. The three-second goals in this league were made ill i small rinks and by as speedy men as Lewis.-Brockto ton Times.
 Without blare of trumpets or spec tacular features the New Ravens de scended on the Waterbury auditorium l Wednesday night and came near wip- l ing out the Brass city five. About l 1,100 sad-eyed WaterburianS crept home after the game.-HartfOrd Times | No. sir: they went home "whooping her up.' satisfied that they had seen corking good game of polo. and bet ting their Waterbury watches that New Haven couldn't do it again.
 When Doe was fired out of the Ma i tiOnal league it was expressly stipu- lated that he should not play in the leagues yard any more, and that he 1 would not be allowed to use Jacques s 1 patent cages. Now Jacques has sold him few.-Hartford Times Was it stated that he would not be allowed l to use the cages? Why the incest way to punish Doe is to make him pay for the cages. Jacques is enjoying it ] better than the Lewiston manager There is a rumor that several of the Maine league players are getting ready to take the first trains back to Massa- i chusetts and Connecticut. The com i ing cold snap. will drive many of the i dcserters of this league back to warm CT quarters.-Meriden Journal The i impression grows that there is room for some of them in this league.-Wa- l terbury Republican. The first part of the above originated from the Water
 bury Evening Democrat. The second part we credit correctly.
 Waterbury and New Haven have been opposed to each other five times i this season, and the scores present an odd aspect. In all of the five gaIA
 the winning teams score has been
 seven. In three of the five the score
 was to l. In the other two it was
 ' to f and to 6. Good crap numbers 1 ought to be worked out of that com
 bination. Come seben' seems to be J all right, and all that seems necessary
 is to Come eleben." hartford Times
