so have got 1t all arranged to have | a mechanical audience of automatons, lifelike, and enough of them to have a big house every night, supplied with all modern appliances for making noise or roofing, but none for hissng or knocking. Just think. Bill! Go in and play your game, get applauded all the time, always playing to a big house. no reporters or newspaper men to bother us. no papers to read to know how good we have played. no holiday games, no releases and salary of five hundred q week.

 Maine league players are getting ready to take the first trains back to Massa- chusetts and Connecticut. The com ing cold snap will drive many of the deserters of this league back to warm CT quarters.
 And so New Haven thinks the game here Wednesday night will be an easy win for the leaders of the league. Well. We are just waiting for that team and We will give them the Warmest session they have held this season. That game is ours for q certainty. That will be red hot game at the auditorium tomorrow evening, and perhaps the fans won't turn out. New Haven will De greeted by one of the largest audiences of the season, unless we are greatly mistaken. and the game should be cerker from the first tap of the bell until the last warning has sounded.

 Hartford may win the games from Meriden Tuesday night and New Ha- ven Saturday night. Regarding the result of the others there is doubt. If she loses them she will break even for the week.

They should have no trouble in winning this game. Friday they will win from Springfield and Saturday they will should run the week out in this way the Blues will be one game to the good.

 The Democrat voices the general sen tiInent among the polo writers of the state that the offices of president and | secretary of the National Polo league | should be located in the state. There are number of gentlemen connected with newspapers and in other business | who would make efficient officers and would be more in touch with the exist ing conditions. There are no valid rea- , sons why the officers should be located in Boston and there are any number of excellent reasons why the officers should be in Connecticut. There are 1 several writers on the New Haven. the ! Hartford the Meriden and the Bridge port papers who could fill those posi- tions very acceptably By all means I let it's have men who follow the game closely and who are faithful to the success of the league.
