Six Teams in the Massachusetts
 League This Season.
 There was meeting of the Ameri- can Polo league in Boston recently. There were present Tim Murnane, Jake Morse, Albert Trout and H. B. Merchant of Clinton; Malachi J. Kit tredge, manager of Worcester polo team: William A. Parsons, manager of Lowell last year, but to manage Providence the coming season; Tom Cotter, manager of Salem last year, who has rowing commission this year, and is talking of trying renals- sance of polo in the place where It was born, Chelsea; Steve Flanagan, manager at Lawrence last year and next. There was little done i'll the way of business, and it was adjourned to October 2, at the same place. Man ager Alfred G. Doe of Lewiston was not at the meeting, and the matter oI the Maine clubs, which are not to be in the league the coming season, could not be settled 1t was5t not settled. whether there are to De six or more teams in the league. V
 At this time the outlook is for a six club circuit. That what Billy Par sons would prefer, and his likes and dislikes will haveaa great deal to- do with the outcome. Five cities that were embraced in the American cir cult a year ago, and which will not be in the going the coming season are: Brockton, Plymouth, Salem, Portland and Lewiston. To make six-club league it will be necessary to supply two new cities and the choice for the sixth berth appears to lie between Ha- verhill and Woonsocket. For the fifth city. Providence, with Parsons as man. ager, is practically sure thing. Many reports have been going the rounds concerning the makeup of the teams this winter, but despiteI all aln0fh ficial predictions to the contrary the Ef0liowang list is prettysnRarly coTrects lWhereed edashes appear the place has yet to be supplied.

 The Salem team of last year will doubtless be placed in the sixth city, wherever that may be- At the close of last season when, everything seemed to point toward the location of a club i'll Manchester, N. H., it Is known that the scheme was to transfer the witches to the Queen city of old New Hamp- shire. Whether the Dark Cellar CO terie have changed their minds entire | ly concerning this plan remains to be seen. Present indications are that Manchester stands little show of hay ing q team. Haverhill is maing a try to get in.
