NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.
Hats off to New Haven.


 Thursday-Hartford at Springfield.
 Waterbury played fast polo in that first period and then, well we couldn't stand the pace. that was all.
 The whole game throughout was not as fast as the last time the same two teams met here. On that night Wa terbury won and every one of the players was pumped out. Last night the New Ravens had lots of wind to spare.
 Not a foul was called last night. and there was scarcely any chance to call one, although Jimmy Canavan did get angry at one time because of the per sistent blocking of Tommy Holder ness.
 Daly made pretty connection with q pass of Gritfins last night catching the ball in the air and banging it against Lations. While it did not go in. it was so well done that the people applauded the little ruSher.
 Bone received two bad cracks last night, one of which almost laid him out but he plucEily resumed play and was cheered by the spectators. In fact, such playing as the visitors put up was worthy of all kinds of praise
 Manager Wiley's Rockland team is to cross sticks with the Gardiners on Monday night. Great preparations are being made. An Augusta band will play and special trains will run to Gardiner from all the country round. Manager Wiley's fans must have d rep utation up Gardiner way.-Pawtucket Times.
 The Eagle polo team of this city would like to play any team in the state whose players ages average IT. All persons looking for d game should write to Captain J. Rivers, GOT North Riverside street. Waterbury. The lineup of the Eagle>; is as follows: First rush. A. Tobin: second rush. r. Lynch; center. E. Roy: halfhack. G. Shove; goal, J. Fruin: substitutes, J. Rose J. 1 Rivers.
 A few nights ago Manager Miller of the Meriden team said he would give %10O to secure two fast players for his team. Some of the Pawtuclet boys ought to land all right. - PawtucEet i Times. Aint he the regular devil. that Miller Think of offering $l0U 1 for two players. Miller is getting { reckless. Think of what New Haven paid for CanaVan and then what Billy AufOrt paid for Dickey PiPrce.-NeW i Haven Leader.
 When it comes to d rating on the number of players, and good ones at that, who are now - igladdening the | hearts of polo fans in various sections, i Pawtucket and it's "enTirous will be found right up among the leaders. This section is the home off bunch of good OnpS and there are still more coming. judging from some Of the red hot ann ateur games which are being played. At present Pawtucket has Dixie Pierce and Curtis. with Springfield: Whippie with New Haven. and Tommy Holder ness with Waterbury. in the National league: Young Cunningham ana Lam coin with Plymouth. | Dalton with East i Weymouth. Tibbetts with Lawrence and Fred Morrison with the home team in the S0utheastein; Nhatmnugh anu Cameron with Portland and Jim DaW- son and Sword with Gardiner in the Maine league In addition to these are Kelly and Poster. who nave played with East Weymouth this year. IsAIl of these men secured their early training in this section. and the same might also he said of Billy Dawson. who is now playing With Brockton. but is not now a resident of this city Ii there is any particular section that can discount this showing it would be Dleasing to hear from it-PaWtuchet Times.
 The Meriden polo team is not the drawing card that it should be to make tho game q success and the polo mag mates are looking around fer another place to locate the team. X writer WhC is well known in pole circles says: -A number of well known men are ahN' iOus to locate a club in New BrHip III spite of the fact that a few kp tkcrS would he against such project. Tine fact remains. however. that New Brit ain would draw big crowds to the cannes of the Hartford series. whicl would come twice q month. and the crowds nt these games alone would double the attendance in Meriden tine past three weeks. The league coulo even ce further and place q team il either Manchester. Rockville or BriS tol. where the sport loving people are anxious for the game, rather than jour ney to Merden twice a month for tray cling expenses. Rockville has sur face equal to that of the old East Main street armory in New Britain. With ! much larger seating capacity ROCK vile was one of the first cities of the state to become a member Of a pro fessional polo league, and there is nc
 
 cess of the game in that city at thi: time In the disi0inted state circuit last season Rockville made some mon ey and the introduction Of the major league article of the game might re suit in successful season. and the same may be said of the other towns named: in fact. any one of the three would result in placing a faster clul than the present Meriden organization Rockville Leader.
