 \ The proposed organization of the
 State Polo league does not meet with | favor in this city. Eddie Hausman | doesn't understand where or how the i profit is to come and as his health and
 mental faculties are in excellent con- | dition he does not propose to invest | h.s good dollars to bolster up a scheme that might be profitable to two or | three of the promoters but could have
 no gain in it for New Haven team.-
 New Haven Register.
 l Prospects for polo another year in | this section are very bright and the chances for this city being represented are good. The rest the local cranks 1 have had this season had been a good next year with expenses cut down to the ability of the game to pay would undoubtedly be success. A building in this city for polo, political meetings, exhibitions and affairs of the like na- ture would no doubt be a paying fn- vestment.-Providence Telegram. It develops that one of the principal | causes of trouble in Bangor was the players themselves. After putting up great game all the season a week or ten days ago two or three of the men concluded it was time to do a little celebrating. and they did it. Why Manager Mcguire did not step right in at the start and bring the festivities to close by laying on a few heavy fines is unknown, but he failed to do so and it did not take long for the Bangor enthusiasts to become disgust ed with a couple of their players Bangor News.
 We never fully understood what the word ''rooter'' meant until last Satur- day ni"ht. when nearly hundred and more BrocktoniaHs came down to wit ness the polo game. We then looked up the definition in Webster and found that to root means ito turn up the earth with the -snout. as swine" Well, the Shoe city visitors did turn up the earth or part of it, at least. and a few of them exhibited swinish pro- pensities. They made the rafters of the rink echo with their howls as it has seldom echoed before, which was all right. but when they started for home they yelled obscene and insult ing language at the pedestrians on the street, which was all wrong. A small party of them were left over and en- gagged rooms at one of our hotels. At l q. m. Sunday morning they had made such racket, destroyed so much furniture and exhibited such a miX-up of beer and women that they were turned out neck and crop.-Plymouth Free Press.
 Another chapter in polo history was enacted last week when the Maine Polo league. after sundry and divers periods of growing, went under. For q week or two the Maine league people had what they thought was the grand laugh on the National leaguers, but the situation is reversed now. The business acumen which prompted Messrs Canavan, Cotter and Parsons to seek a location in the Massachusetts circuit, and thus get in out of the wet, is now shown. to be most coml1 ,nda- ble. They have berths that will at least pay expenses until the end of the season. while the Maine players will have to go looking for jobs. It is no surprise that the Maine league has gone by the board. Notwithstanding the rosy reports sent out from there, corroborated and even exaggerated by the derelict officers in Boston of the National league, it has been known in this section for several weeks that the circuit was on the verge of collapse, and only the most vigorous efforts have kept it on its feet. Strenuous ef- forts were made to keep the ball roll ing there until after the dissolution of the National circuit, and that having occurred, the magnates of the upper circuit began to inquire where they were going to get off, It had been promised them that the Connecticut players were only aching to rush to the northern circuit, and the increased strength that would accrue would place the sport on solid footing. When the anticipated rush didn't come the Maine packers took a peep at their balance sheet and found it full of lia- bllities, but the assets were chiefly promises It was but short further step to the decision that the only thing left to do was to drop out of the game There is weak-hearted at tempt now under way to reorganiZe with the Biddeford team to take the place of the Bangor team, whose col lapse made the breakup necessary, but the Reorganization caused by the 0rODDlng out Ol pduSoI udS iuAt tAS snort beyond repair-New Haven Reg iSter.
