SOME POLO TALK.
Chances Are Slim For Polo In This
 State Next Season.


 The following polo story published in the Brockton Enterprise, will be in- teresting in Waterbury and it is pretty true in every particular, even to the statement about no National league polo i'll Connecticut:
 | Secretary Samuel F. Upton of the Southeastern Polo league. was in town last night, and had q little inforflla- tfoIl stocked away in lis grip for gen. eral use. 70 sl ai
 7s.secretary Upton believes that the Sou theastern league will be stronger khan. ever the coming season, and it is possible, that tlthere, will be some changes. One fsensatio ional 4 possibility is the chance that Lawrence may not be a member of the Southeastern next season. The trouble seems to be that Lawrence, under the mana cement of William A. Parsons, dsa too well under stood to- be ina syndicate of lbrotherly love, with Parsons as the boss of the whole crew.. The Southeastern league believes in one manager having one city.
 There is q possibility of new city being added to the league. This con- templated addition is Portland There is reason for believing that the Maine metropolis would look with favor on the scheme of entering what will be the strongest league on the list next fall.
 '.Other towns likely to be in the list are Lowell, Plymouth, Clinton, Brock tolllq and perhaps ,Eastf Weymouth; Jimmy. Ganayanr, has an, idea that the town would be alt right with y;l team that started off strongly and made, a pie I1licea race of 1t all the way along The Interest there, CaiaVan thinks, could be revived and kept. up in way that is liable. to bring money to the coffers of the management.
 ssBrockton, it may be safely said, will not be in polo unless the present rink is remodeled and enlarged. It is understood that this plan is in contem- plation, and the raising and lengthen- ing of the rink may be an accomplished fact before the season opens.
 lover in Taunton there is a story around that the old rink, now used as a lumber storehouse, may be again given over to Polo.. If1etllis should be the fact Taunton and Broekton with good sized, rinks ought to draw well and make a great fight.
 Another town that would like polo is South Framfngham. There is d good rink there, and people are in the town who are ready to put up d req 5sohaD1e amount of capital to start a IclHb there. A good manager is ready 5toItake a chance in the place, which Is ripe. for the,s sport. and a, good team would pay there without much doubt
 ."There is more than one manager casting 8 coyetoIs eye at Lowell. which is doing well by base ball and which has always been considered a good polo city.
 If Brockton has a team three of the members will be without doubt Tom Murphy. Charlie Fitzgerald and O'Hara. A strong effort will be made to land Dickie Pierce to rush with Murphy. The latter, writing to a friend in the city a few days ago, said his fortunes would be cast with this city again for .1901-1902 if a team played here. M
 ..Cashman, the little birds twitter, will not play here again. Another man, even though he may not be so brilliant a player. it is.thought will be more useful to the team and create less friction among the players. Billy Dawson is not considered likely to be on the Brockton team again.
 ssThe Maine league is likely to exist again this coming season, with Lewis ton. Bangor. Bath Rockland and Gard iner, even though Portland is not one of the Maine league cities.
 'The revival of the National league is considered problematical, and iflpoIo is played in Connecticut it is likely there will be merely state league.
 "A meeting of some of the South eastern league magnates will be held later in the week in Boston to talk over plans for the coming season. At that time definite plans are likely to be made for the coming season.
