 The many friends of Johnny Griffin of this city will be pleased to know that he will be in thls league this sea son and that he will play with one of the cracherjac teams.

 All this talk of players deserting this league seems to have taken sudden turn around the other way The best players of the other leagues are now 1eolsing. for kertEs in t4is- league And why should they Inot come into this leasue? Thd' best salaries and the biggest crowds Elre eomlnendablef fea- lures of the iNatiepal league of polo players. ss'5ht waterburyl -p5l6 fea1h, as pnb- T b 'hshed in yesterdays Democrat" 'fias req ted new. interest in the polo situ- Fation in this city and all the fans are now waiting anEiohsfy for the open ing game. The new rusher and the ha1fback on the team are unknown quantitieS as far as the Waterbury people are concerned. but they will certainly make good. Both Dan DaIy and Bill Miller were the best men in their positions in the Southea stern league last season and they will sur prise the lovers Of polo at the game they will put up Jean everybody knows, and many times the local at -tendantss at the auditorium have call ed him all kinds of hard names because of his SHcceSsful work in interfering Q with the l.uslleis. n, Now that. he is to wear a Waterbury uniform all those opinions will change and he will be appla uded and hotg condemned for ihis clever work HipSon and LStarllie nre well known and they will be right in the. game, as they were last season. Then we have Billy Parsons who can 2 at any time jump into the breach and lend a helping hand in capturing goals. : Looking at the team from top to bot tom we believe that Waterbury is pretty well fixed for the coming sea son. : -.t r,r>
