Waterbury Democrat., 1901-10-24
IN THE POLO WORLD.
It Looks Like One League Up
 Massachusetts Way.

The American League Would Take
 Two But Not Three Teams from the
 National-Doe Appears to Have a
 Hand in the Game-Players from
 That League Writing for Positions
 Secretary Rieger of New Haven is very busy these days getting the sched- ule ready for the inspection of the mag mates of the National Polo league at the meeting next Tuesday night. In all probability New Britain will open with Waterbury tle opening Saturday evening and the fans will have q chance to see Barney Doherty and ms team from over the road.
 Hartford is still knocking for ad- mission to the league and in all proba- bility at the next meeting she will be admitted Those behind the game in that city are putting in considerable time chasing up the officers and they seem so anxious to get into the league that it will be difficult to keep them but they want her with plenty of good assurances that she will have good polo team.
 The American league still continues to give the list of players that has been signed by the various clubs, and yet letters are coming in every day from some of those same players asking for positions down in this league. The latest application is from one of Does signed men.
 The refusal of the American league to take in Brockton, Clinton and Woon- socket will mean in all probability the breaking up of the National league or ganization up that way. The Ameri- can league would have stood for Brockton and Clinton, but Woonsock- ct was barred and it is said that it was all because Doe did not like Upton. If there is not a clash between Doe and Billy Parsons before the season is very far advanced we miss our guess.
 The followinz account of the meet ing in Boston Tuesday night is cor rect except so far as the players are concerned. Many of the players are in this league: The American league of professional roller polo clubs met at the Hotel Savoy last night, President Murnane- in the chair.

Coughlin of Clinton was invited into the meeting to speak for his club and those of WOOnsocket and BrOckton. He declared that all three clubs must be admitted or none.
