FEW POLO JOT7|NGS,
The Season Opens To-Day With
 One Game.

Waterbury Ready for the Fray on
 Wednesday Evening - New Haven
 Will Appear Here on That Evening The Maine League in Shaky
 Condition-Other Talk on the Game. The last two or three sessions of the league opened the eyes of the directors to what is firmly believed to be noth- ing more or less than a concerted plan to wreck the game in this locality. The parties to the deal are Manager Mur- ray of Providence and Fred Doe. The latter possessed one merit that the other did not-he stated openly and above board that that was his ,inten- tion. but the evidences of coalition were lacking until the past week. Man ager Murray has said fin previous league meetings that he had secured the lease of the Springfield rink and that he had team ready to go there. Relying upon his statement, matters ran along until last week, when Mur- ray reported that he could not get team together. One of his statements was that Conway had laughed at him when he was offered $50 per week to play at Springfield: another that Pierce and Cunningham had refused to play there. All of these players say that Murray never made them an offer, or fntimated that he would like to sign them.
 Within week of the opening of the season Murray gave notice of his in- ability to make good. so it became necessary for some one to shoulder the responsibility of taking the franchise. Manager Aufort of New Haven. realiZ- ing that the life of the league depend ed upon it, and without hesitation he came forward volunteering to close up the breach. Hustling to Springfield he learned that no deal had been made by Manager Murray for the use of the rink. He promptly closed negotiations, paid a guarantee of $500 and has since been hustling night and day to get his team together. Manager Aufort deserves the highest commendaton for his action and his large circle or friends among polo patrons here will wish him unbounded: success in his new location.
 Does plans were to get Murray to drop out here, break up this league, and then take a club in the Maine league, at Bangor. But this scheme has failed. and from present appear ances the entire Maine league is on the verge Of collapse. James A. Blake an old polo manager and manager of the Savin- Rock theater last summer, is in town, after tour of Maine. He says the game Is dead up there. None of the towns of the alleged circuit has a team. and notwithstanding the rosy reports sent, down here by Doe. even Doe himself has but one player HipsOn. Doe was down in Bridgeport on Thursday trying to induce Menard to go to Maine but Ienard declares he will not play anywhere this season, preferring to stick to his Job. Bang or has not even manager and the owner of the rink there says he doesn't propose to go into the game unless he sees the color of some of the promot- ters' money. Murray has refused to take a chance there. Similar condf- lions. it is said prevail all around the Maine circuit. This is the report of the situation by a competent judge New Haven Register.

LITTLE HARRY HARRIS.

Little Harry Harris, the feather weight. by his clean win over Reagan at the Star in Chicago, stamped him self as D. Dbably- the best 116 to 12O pound boxer in America. Harris will now go out after any of them at this weight in the country, and will either force a contest or subject the claim ants and aspirants of and for the lightweighted featherweight champion ship to deal of ridicule. Harris is going out first after Benny Yanger. This little fellow has been side-step- ping Santry on the ground that he (Santry) is too heavy. and imposing weight which Santry declined to make. Yanger claims that he can make 12o pounds ringside. If he can. here is his opportunity. Harris will box Yan- ger at this weight, and may even go a bit further in order to get on match On form Harris has 1t on the diminutive Italian Clarence Forbes easily beat Young Mowatt, and Young Mowatt has a draw to his credit with Yanger. Clarence Forbes was beaten by Reagan, and the latter, in turn, was made to look cheap by Harris. If there is anything In fistic form liar ris has Yanger already in his belt. The match would make an attractive one, and all that is necessary now Is Yan- gers signature to contract.

 Man Who Called Him Fakir.
 It is rumored that Oscar Gardner in- tends to retire in the near future from active. service in the ring. Judging from the form exhibited by the Omaha Kid in his recent battles, it looks as though such move on nis part would be a wise one He has certainly gone back to serious degree. Men who formerly-would- not have been consid- cred in the same class with Oscar have of late fought him to q stand still, and it Is but too evident that he is no longer the Gardner of old.s Now and again, however. the ancient fight ing spirit of this most gallant of little gladiators manifests itself, as in the case of his meeting with Harry Smith, a colored featherweight, at Omaha, when, after breaking both of his hands on the negro's hard skull. Oscar finally swung his crippled mauly to the Jaw and knocked Smith out. But late hours and over-devotion to the convivial pleasures of life have made serious inroads on the vitality of the great little boxer, and The is now beginning to pay the penalty. Moreover. it must be remembered that Gardner has been milling for long time. His first ap- pearance in the squared circle was in March. 1887, and since then he has been battling steadily. never refusing Ia match and frequently fighting three times q week That he has gone back is not strange, The surprising part of the matter Is that he has succeeded in holding his own as long as he has.
