 The only way for a man like Gavitt to do when he is continually clung on- to by opposing half backs, is to begin to rough it. and as he has the advan- tage in size over most of the other men, he should be the gainer. Don't be afraid to mix up with 'em Gavitt: you can hold your end up. and you will have q much better chance to score.-LaWrence American.
 l.. ming, was marvel in himself. He blocked everybody that came his way took the ball from them and by the cleverest kind of juggling made bril- liant passes which netted goals time and again. In fact, every man on the Salem team played a well nigh perfect game and bouquets of equal size are due them all.-Salem News.
 James F. Canavan, Charles A. La tions and George Bone, of the East Weymouth polo team, are spending a few days in the city. Captain Can ayan says there is no barrel of money in the Massachusetts league He declares that the BrocktonS are so fearful they will lose the Dennant that they won't play the East Wey- mouths--New Haven Register.
 Jason is good polo player, but he has one of the meanest tricks I eyer saw q man play on an opposing goal tend. and that is to stand almost in front of him. and when the ball has been shot toward the cage jump uD in the air. with both feet almost in the goal ends face This sort of play ing should be abolished, and a foul or two on Jason for doing it would soon teach him a leSSOn.-LeWrence Amerj- can.
 It has been reported that Chief Cot ter will hang up his polo stick after this season, never to take it down again. Tom has been the mainStay of polo in New England for the past dozen years, and the game owes him much We hope we will have the pleasure of seeing him perform at city hall before he retires, but his team seems to be kept away from Law renee. What say you, Manager Par sons ?-Lawrence American.
 Notes from the Boston Herald: Kid Mallory will play in goal for New Ha- ven. Biddeford is strengthened for fair. and with it's present array can put up q good game. Hartford will not play in the initial week of the Con necticut, but ''hopes to see you later' The Brockton Enterprise polo writer we'll says the passing game is outlawed in the small rinks. It looks as if the Maine league would last another week. The schedule, therefore, has been made out Tonight: Salem at Brock ton. Fall River at Plymouth. Clinton at Lawrence, Pawtucket at East Wey- mouth.
