Meriden here tonight.

Eddie SutllTauS s team in POftland has Campbell, Spencer, Mckay, Cam eron and Kenney.
 The Waterbury team journeys over the hills to Meriden tomorrow 'ight, and what joke it would be. we took both games.
 Pawtucket has Higgins, Whatmo and COyle on the rush line, with Mor rison at center, Conway at halfback and John Smith in goal.
 Plymouth has very strong team in Cunningham. Lincoln, Miller Janelle and Mullen, q strong bidder for the championship if Upton holds them to- gether.
 Tarrant and Walton worked hard to keep the ball on Baths ground. while the defense of Wiley and Furbush was of high standard. Wiley mak ing a goal from the farther end of the rink.-Rockland Star.
 Every person that goes to the rink tonight should urge the local players on in every way. One or two of them were quite nervous Wednesday even ing and this was caused as much as anything by the misses which were used so unnecessarily. Give the boys a cheer now and then and it will make all the difference in the world.
 Fred Jean, the big center of the To- cal team, is a totally different fellow from what many believed. When he played with Meriden he was thought by many to be a rough, ungentlemanly chap who would stop at nothing to win the game. That is not the case however. for he is one of the most gentlemanly players in the circuit and educated as we'll
 Plymouth's polo season opened "Wednesday in most suspicious man ner. There were nearly 900 people in attendance. and the home team start ed it's career by shutting out Pawtuck ct to 0. It was the first game either team had played, and under these cir cumstances the game may be censid- cred very satisfactory. Plymouth had decidedly the best of it all through. and outplayed it's opponents at every point.
 .- As the teams look now, New Haven is five to one winner. Evidently that team was not pruned enough, but 4 would not be fair to the management to assault the makeup again. Man ager Canavan deserves what he has secured. Meriden and Hartford come next in line with the chances in favor of the former city, Springfield comes next and our own city brings up the rear. A bad beginning makes a good ending, so they say and we hope it is SC. .-' t..
 Meriden makes her first appearance here tonight and the local polo fans will be sure of red hot contest. It is too early in the season for the fans to get out their hammers on the make up of the local team. Why not wait and give the members of the team a chance to get into the game. They have had virtually no practice to- Sje lS tpa nrt to{amount to clhyt has been in dAlged in until this week. Just give Ine players a fair show and then if they don't do well, the hammers can Hipt right .1nerrily. &
 Frank Warner of Meriden, who is I6nder contract with Waterbury, has hot yet made his appearance in this xcity, and the fans and the local man. VI agement are at a loss to know what is the reason. Manager Parsons has been to Meriden several times to get ~ the player to come over with him but he has failed each time. It is said that the last time that Parsons went after him Warner promised to come right over that day. Manager Par sons decided to wait for him but when .he went to Warmers store to get him. he was informed that the player had gone to New York. It is said that Warner does not want to start in to play until he finds some one to, take his place in the store. Probably he will be here later.
 The champion Brockton polo team won it's third straight game Wednes- day evening, when their old rivals for first honors went down before them in Lawrence. The loss of the game for Lawrence Is accounted for by the playing Of Bottomley, and his poor work was caused by 2 very lame hand which he suffered carly in the game causing him to be hardly, able to hold his stick. Before the game ended Csshnnn, Bfockton's goal tend, hit tbk ainnd, and Bottontey was incapaci- fafed from further servfee Referee efkFe 5ones sent Cashman from the ddpf for this act and the game con tf4ned with foar men on q side.
