Does Bill Parsons Control the Eastern League?
 Report has it that Bill Parsons owns the Indianapolis team of the Western | league. Shouldn't be surprised Next | year Parsons may control the Western league.-LoWe1l Sun. *
 Bone was made an offer of $70 per week from Manager Petty of Muncie, Ind, and Cannavan and Bone were of Tered $6o each from another manager, but these offers were ignored.-Law- renee American.
 Manager Durbin of the Elwood, III, team was here last night and made of 1 fers to Lations, Jason and McGrath Lat1ons, however, positively refused to leave LaWrence.--Lawrence Sun. The American league is bound to sufVlVe the season. no matter how many Loch1nvars should come pfrating. mere may De few more players that might feel like taking a trip westward but there would still be enough good ones left to give the people a run for their money. If it came to a show down the league might be reduced to city or two and still the real stars could be seen, As yet, however, not a real out and out star, one whom the | managers never had the slightest trol1- 1 Die with or who could be counted on 10 De at his post and playing the game | all the time, has received passage to the land of matted milk. cereal foods and other bunco edibIes. The western CTS have yet to make a raid that will really amount to anything.-Lawrenc Eagle. But a few so-called Rubes like Dave Turbin will have to be watched. Lowell Citizen.
 If Bill Parsons does not control the American Roller Polo league, he comes very near it. What he says is law. lie takes what players he wants and flexs the schedule according to his own | liking. Murnane and Morse are noth- ing more or less than mere figure. heads in this league. This was demon strated in the recent Lawrence shake up A report was sent out that Law renee was out of the league. but as soon as Parsons learned t-is he had Me & Jake' send out retraction.- Lowell Sun. < ... h>~' F.. ~ Roberts and Fitzgerald played their | first game Eith EIwood Friday night and Elwood defeated Racine by score of to 2. Elwood occupies position at the bottom of the list, while Racine is on the top. From the above it would I appear that the western team was con siderably strengthened by the addition of the two eastern men. Bill Parsons has sent out another 1 schedule for games to be played during the week. Parsons will soon be carry ing his own audiences
 The Richmond Item says: ssSpot'' Hadley saturday evening received from Manager Kittridges of the. Worcester I tnon7 in fhn National EIoa ing offer to return to the east and play center on that team The offer came by wire and the answer went likewise. It was brief and decidedly to the point. l It said: Your money is counterfeit After sending his refusal Hadley said:
 nave been playing professional polo Tor ten years and have never vet I Jumped contract. Even if I were ,R free to go I would not dc so, for the west suits me.' Kitridtge has an axe 1 to grind with Richmond because m effort was made to sign Daily. his great rusher Daly agreed to come to Rich mond.|but before he signed a contract Iittridge heard what was doing and by giving him a substantial increase ill salary induced him to remain
 The players generally will wish John Roberts and "Fitzie" the best of. luck sI III IHe west. they are aDOut the only two players in the Western league who
 stand good" with the eastern bunch Lawrence Telegram.
 The Clinton team is conducted for the amusement of a few polo enthusi- q asts. Barring Worcester and Lowell no team draws more than a couple of hundred to the Clinton rink. The team is a good one and should be in a bet
 ter town.-T1aWrence Telegram.
 Tom Cotter wants to get rid of lief
 fernan and has asked Cusick to come east. If Heffernan is "dumped'' bet your money that Chelsea will lose Mill 1 Ter and Whipple as well.-Lowell Mail
