Meriden here tonight.
 Fred Doe recently sent q telegram to Charlie Farrell which read: Limit $25; send your lowest terms.'' Far rells reply was: ssWhat kind of nerve food have you been taking late ly, Freddie?'
 To read the telegrams and appeal ing letters that are being received by Canayan and Bone one would be led to believe that the very existence of the American league depends upon their going there,
 Captain Charlie Tlations has filed a claim for the Wsallingferd- aterbury game. scheduled at Waterbury last Wednesday but not played. He thinks his team ought to have it by forfeit. The claim will be placed before the meeting of the league next Friday. ! Danbury has good team awaiting it as soon as the town secures the rink Schofeld and Meade, rushers; Hobe Whiting, center; Dump Will Hams, halfback, and Paddy Farrell. goal, and they ought to make good. Danbury is ripe for polo and it would be handsomely supported
 The amateurs are organizing and there will be a league formed of sey- eral teams from the factories. Man. ager Harrington has offered them five season tickets, which will be rallied off, and the boys will make quite q lit tie sum of money. Those games are always interesting as preliminary to the big games and should draw out {: big attendance sst1
 At the meeting of the league last week a plan of dividing the holiday receipts was agreed upon which it is thought will equalize matters satis- factorily to all the clubs As there are five clubs, one must remain idle for either an afternoon or evening game. But the team that does not play shares the receipts just the same. The directors will meet on Friday, No vember %, to appogtion each clubs share of the days receipts.
 Already the Massachusetts, end of the American league is beginning to kick at the long jumps to the Maine end of the circuit. It is said that Manager Parsons, who owns three franchises in the former state, has is-i
 E sued an ultimatum. to Fred Doe. and Manager Mathis, representing Lewis ton and Portland respectively. that they must find location nearer the other clubs. This accounts for the talk of transferring those teams to Providence and Pawtaeket.
 T. H. Murnane. Whose signature to q baseball story generally carries con- siderable weight with the readers of the Boston Globe, is president of the American polo leagne, He was for two years the president of the Nation al league. and in contrast with the hoy who said when the evangelist asked him if his father was a Christian. Yes, but he isn't doing much at it.,, he did lot at it. In conirnction with the hot-foot Fred Doe and Rillv Murray, he perpetrated acts last year that broke up the league that he was the head of. He hasn't let an oppor ttlnlty go by since forgive the National league knock ill the Globe. His lat est IS an appeal to7 the managers of the American league to raid the Ma 3tlonal for Rlayers in retaliation for Manager Harrington's trip to NIassa-
 Il- ey. He says further that the Nation al manager started the raiding. The statements of the Globes writer laclr one very important essential. viz. tbo truth. The National league had Rar- hey DoheIty, but Tom Cotter won nm; also Jason, but Portland took him or; also Whippls, but Lawrence swiDed him. In addition to these Bone Canavan and Lations have re. ceived almost daily offers from Fred Doe, Tom Cotter and Mathis of Port land to jump to that league; Charlie Fitzgerald and Charlie Farrell have been tempered with ever since they have been here The National laae,,a is now thriving, but if such a thing nc collapse should occur. the managers Will have the satisfaction of knowing that it was not brought about by m official who was intrusted with the presidency of the organization. n.-New Haven Register.
