Manager Harrington Will Sue
 the Other Directors.

At a Snap Meeting He Was Voted Out
 of the League and Was Fined All
 the Money Coming to Him-He Has Engaged Law Firm in This City to Fight His Case-It Looks Like a Blunder on Someone's Part,
 Some of the managers and directors of the just disbanded National Polo league may be involved i'll legal pat tie before many days and the plaintiff in the case will be Manager George F. Harrington of this city This Is all the result of a very peculiar meeting l which was held in the Garde hotel, New Haven, on Friday afternoon, Jan- uary 3. Whether that meeting was legal or not is a question. 1t was m adjourned meeting. but as the presl- | dent of the league was not at the meet | ing before that one and was not notl- l fled that there was to be an adjourned meeting, it looks very much as though the funny business that was transacted at that meeting was concocted before hand and that Manager Harrington was to be made the sufferer. How ever, the law will probably be invoked to settle the matter. Manager liar rington has consulted an attorney i'll this city and the case is now i'll his hands. The trouble was caused by the division of the holiday receipts.
 It was the vote of the directors that the holiday receipts should be divided equally. No matter what was taken l in in one city, if it was only S1, that 1 In1 tn
 There seemed to be an undercurrentjof of dissatisfaction working against Mana ger Harrington and at the meeting where the Christmas day receipts were l to be divided, there were enough fig ures made to keep the books of the biggest concern in the country. It I finally ended after several hours fig uring in what was supposed to be T satisfactory division. There was dae Manager Harrington from those re ceipts $30.41. Manager Lush of Mer- iden was the one who owed that amount and he agreed to send it to the secretary of the league, but this ne failed to do. After the New Years game there was due Manager Hafring- ton $53US more from the receipts, mak- ing a total of $S3.49 due the Waterbury manager By some figuring the direc- tors in the absence of Manager far rington began to cut down what was coming to him until he had twenty of thirty dollars less than what was right i fully his. Not a cent was paid hin however, at the meeting held Thurs l day. January ,. On the next day at the adjourned meeting for which the president received no notification, the directors got together and ate up the whole of Manager Harrington's share and they did it in this way:
 On motion of AIr Larum of New Ha
 ven. seconded by Manager Lush ot l Meriden, Harrington was fined S63.U- for failure to live up to his obligations I in the league. It is presumed likely from the amount mentioned in the tine that the directors cut down what WAS coming to Manager Harrington to that sum. It was also voted at this league meeting, if you can call it so, thai 1 Manager Harrington be expelled iron the National Polo league. Here is where the directors made huge blun der and one that will count against them when the time comes. The money is due Manager Harrington Justly and rightly and his attorney says he will get it. Manager Lush of Mer
 iden was the first manager to violate the rules of the league when he re fused to come to Waterbury last Fri
 day night. He could not put up tht claim that he had no team to play fol
 he had team and played that team
 Of course, it may be difficult to attici
 any property of some of the managers
 but we are very much afraid tha
 Charley Larum has put his foot ill it
