 At Plymouth.
 Plymouth, March 7.-Plymouth whitewashed Lawrence in fast game | last night. at which Tom Cotter made his appearance as a referee.

 Turner is quick and is one of the hardest men in the business to cover and We would like to see him matched up with Curtis. We think they would make q warm pair of ruShers.-LaW- renee American
 Long John Wiley played one game with the Brocktons against the Clin- | tons. taking Fitzgerald's place, and Manager Dwyer immediately started | to look for stronger man. Guess John has run his rope.-Lawrence | American.
 Cotter is surely the P. T. Barnum of 1 polo. His smooth-shaven. round face | presents the likeness. and his keeping everlastingly at it represents the other characteristic. Fires and stampedes | cannot drive him out of business Brockton Times.
 William A. Hogan Is to retire from the management of the Brockton polo team Saturday night It appears that there is not harmony among the mem- bers of the association. MT Hogan stated to-day, when asked why he is to quit: There is no particular reason beyond the fact that my desires and those of the others do not coincide. wanted to make changes in the team and we talked the matter over last night. I came to the conclusoin that l do not know how polo should be played, and Saturday night will con- clude my connection with the team.' -Brockton Times.
 Before the final game of the season at Lewiston between Portland and Lewiston, Referee O'Brien said he would impose no fines and send no players from the f1oor This, says the | Portland Argus, was q direct invita- tion to the players to rough it to their hearts content, and perhaps they didn't take advantage of it. From start to finish the contest was . free for all rough and tumble scrap. There ho1I {v.iy ofv -iy,rr everything else. and it all went. The game seemed to suit the Lewiston peo- pie all right. but had such a game been played in Portland the players would have been roundly hissec.
 John E. Wiley arrived az his home here last night from Biddeford, Me- where he has been playing polo with the team representing that town. He is not over enthusiastic with the sue cess met with down there, and thinks burial in that section. An offer has been made him by the promoters of the Southeastern league, who want him
 to put team in to represent this city, but chances for making q success of i.
 here now are not one in q thousand. and as John is wise enough to see through a hole in ladder. it is hardly
 probable that the offer will be accept
 ed. If the managers of the league had
 been disposed to treat Taunton fairly
 at the beginning of the season there
 is not the slightest doubt but what
 the game would have paid here had
 there been a team that could hold its
 own with the others, but as they did
 not see fit to do so they have only
 themselves to blame.-Taunton G a.
