BASE BALL NOTES.
New Haven Was Once More Defeated
 By Willimantic.

By Willimantic.
 After a third try at the Williman- tics, the New Haven base ball players who are showing a desire to play all winter were compelled to return home once more with a defeat. Vollcndorf was selected to do the puzzle act for the Willimantics, but he showed that he is not a whit better at winter pitch ing than at summer. With the score tied in the eighth he started his old- time stunt of putting the ball any where but over the plate, with a few cracks into the batsmens ribs. With this came a bunch of errors and Il hit or two, resulting in six runs.
 Billy Lush made a home run for the New Hayens and J. Sullivan per formed the same feat for the 1ome team. Tommy Leahy failed to slow up, so J. Nichols of Willimantic caught for the visitors. About 800 people saw the game. The score by innings:

 The American League is composed of Lowell, Lawrence, Portland, Lewis ton, Salem and Plymouth. It's an ex- pensive circuit to cover The National Leagues circuit is composed of Brock ton, Clinton, East Weymouth, Hudson, Chelsea, and Woonsocket.
 The Brockton mana cement gives out the makeup of it's team as follows: Hipson or Curtis and Tom Murphy, rushes; Fitzgerald center; "Blinker' Hayes, halfback; Heffernan, goal.
 Jason and Gayitt will rush for tie East Weymouth team. Jason claims to have received offers from the Ameri- can league, which he declined.
 It was announced officially last night that seven players of the Philadelphia i National League Base Ball club will I play with the American league 1exr season. Delehanty, Wolverton, Orth and Townsend will play in Washing ton, and Flick, Dubblesby and Monte Cross will play with Connie Mack's Philadelphia club. Two others. it is said, will be found with the American league, but it has not been determined with what clubs they will be connect ed.
 The American league has about all the real polo men in it, and we think the National would do well to come off their high horse and join hands. as it is an assured fact that towns like Hud- { son and East Weymouth will not sup port any polo team, as they had the b two strongest clubs in the circuit last season and failed to give any kind of support, says the Lawrence American. How can they expect to make a second class team draw? If Brockton and Clinton could be induced to come into { the American league the cities in the circuit would all be good paying ones. |. and the public would witness the pest exhibition of polo since the good old days back in the sos.
 What is purported to be the person. nel of the polo teams in the American league is given by the Lawrence Am erican, but the chances are that many changes may occur between now and l November l. The list may, however, tend to give a line on the possible strength of the teams and where the players are wanted. The Lawrence team will very likely be made ID of Bone, Gavitt Canavan, Dev1in and La tions. Lowell will have Lewis, Jean, Holderness and Tibbetts, with the fifth man not as yet decided upon. Phil Jason may be the missing link. Salem will have Wodtke. Cottor, Doh erty and Fox, and Silent Bill Curtis may be the chiefs front man. Port land will have the same team that represented the down east city last season. which is Campbell. WhiDple. Mckay. Cameron and 1sfallov. lewis ton will have the following star nlay- CTS: Mercer. McGilverv. Hayes. Mnr- taugh and Burgess. | Plymouth will have 8 stronger team than they had last year. the lineup of which will he Hipson, Cunningham, Miller, Woods and Mullen.
