 sometimes they don't see all those fea- | lures. The Saturday night game in
 Hartford. for instance, where no pa | per had the number of stops. | The last time the Hartford team was | here 1t was one of the scrappiest games that was ever played on the local floor.

 l There comes to the Southeastern | Polo league people a story that the Ma | tional league is full of doubt just at
 this time. Little money is being made
 in Waterbury, and less, it is said. in
 Meriden and New Haven. the latter | city'S attendance having slumped per | cepuDly this season. The National
 league people are in the game for the
 money and nothing else. and it is said | that some of the managers are now
 looking to other fields. It is said that | Tom Cotter has his managerial eye | fixed on Fall River, where he was To- ca ted once before. and that Aufort is | considering swinging his Meriden team + to Salem. From q National league l halfback comes the story that one of l the National league managers told q | player to wait a fortnight and then he
 (the manager and the playeD would
 come up into this league together. All | these things may be the fiimsiost kind | of dreams. but they are being retailed
 around the National league as facts.
 and they are here printed for what | they may be worth. The business in | the National league is not what it | should be-no doubt of that.-Br0rkton l Enterprise.
