Waterbury Democrat., 1900-10-29


 CTS, O'Hara as halfback and Cashman as goal He expects to have the en- tire team signed by Monday and all will be ordered to report by Thursday. " CaShman was with the team when 1t played in Rockland, Mass, and left last year to go to Hartford.-Brockton Times.
 Some of the players who have been offered chances to jump the South eastern and go into the National ought to wait and consider. If they go into the National they are mingling with the fastest company there is in the polo world, and with styles of play with which they are not altogether familiar; and if they fail to make good the doors of the Southeastern will be shut against the jumpers s r, 6 Enterprise.

 Some one certainly is stringing the Waterbury writers. They still think that they will have Hipson and Star key and also Daily. People up. this way will believe it when they see the players there, and not before.-Paw- tucket Times. Now. now, Miss Paw tucket. not any of Hipson for us. He is too rich for our Plebeian blood. Starkie yes, and Daly, too, for that is how the pointer on the wheel looks now.
 Manager Parsons will again pilot the Lawrence team, which will be good news to the local followers of the sport, as it means the game will be conducted on the same high plane as last season. Mir Parsons has been able to retain his players, notwithstanding that the big league magnateS have tried to sign at least two of last years Lawrence team. MT Parsons will be unable to play himself this season, which leaves a vacancy in the team | difficult to fill. He is considering the plan of putting Spot Hadley in the rush line and signing a strong center player from the Connecticut league.- Lawrence American.
 Harry Starkie, the well known Hart ford polo player, will leave tomorrow for Lewiston, Me. to join the polo | team of that place. The Lewiston quintettc, Starkie said yesterday, will be made up of practically the same | players that represented Waterbury in the National league last season. The players on the team, it is said, to a man, will stick to Doe, to whom they are under contract, and if Waterbury l has polo this year it will have to organize an entirely--new team. MT | Starkie said the towns in Maine are | enthusiastic for the game this season, | after a suspension of a couple of years. and the circuit is of such com | pact nature as to entail little expense | for travelling. The railroads. too, are | also encouraging the promoters of | polo by giving the players a half fare rate between the towns. The season | is practically of the same length as that in the National league, opening early in November and closing about | the first of March. Starkie is of the | opinion that many of the best players | of former years will not again be seen | in the National league, as Pierce of Providence has secured the Pawtucllet | franchise in the Southern New Eng 1 land league, and Murtagh of the Grays will also play in the same league. Who | the new recruits will be to take the places of the old timers is hard to tell. as the available talentSdoes not @seem' | to be very plentiful.-Hartford Globe. | The action of the National league | directors in making a new apportion- ment, of the players of the league is variously regarded by the local cranks. The members of last years New Ha- ven championship team became so popular that the supporters of, the | sport here are extremely lOath to see one of them depart. But the division seems to be absolutely necessary for
 
 Meriden had really no teams that could have been considered in the l same class with the New Ravens, and | Manager Aufort was as quick to real
 ize the benefits of the apportionment as anyone, and unselfshly placed cer- | tain of his crack players at the dis
 posal of the league. It is understood
 that the players revert to the New
 Ravens should any of the players who
 haU m
 turn to the National. As the league
 was made upbefore the apportionment
 the New Ravens would have so far
 out-classed the other teams as to leave i no chance for a contest. This would
 have been as fatal to the success of
 the sport as the same proportion of weakness. Local polo lovers would , not have found enjoyment in a game that was so one-Sided. But the team
 as awarded to New Haven is by nc
 means weak one; indeed it can be said that it will hold it's own with any aggregation on the surface. Bone
 is the king rusher of the circuit, with
 out doubt, Jason is a new man, but he comes so well recommended that there : is little likelihood that he will prove ) to <be. weaker than any other second
 rush in the league. Captain Canavan
 the king of them all, will still be al
 center and his success in developing
 youngsters will Joe again put to tho . test with results no doubt as gratify
 ing as in past seasons. Another play CT who was an important factor il
 winning last year is Whippel, who vii be played at half back. Then with olt | reliable, Charlie Lations, at goal, tliert , is little to fear from the shots of tht 5 adverSaries. A look at the other team.
 will show that the New Havens, whilt compelled to give up such strong ant , popular players as Hobe Whiting ant Frank Warner are still fully as stron: 7 as any of them. Manager Aufort sait last night that there will be feV
 changes in the personnel of the fore, , at the rink Timer PlattWin again b on hand to punch the bell, and Seore : Turner will occupy his 1old& &p0sitio1l , The cranks will miss the genial smil , of Gus Holland at the door, the nev
 arrangement of dividing receipts mak n ing it necessary to place member 0 , the visiting team on the door.-Ney U Haven Register.
