Lowell Champions-Clin Fined $1OO
 for Not Appearing on Schedule.
 At a meeting of the American Polo league in Boston yesterday it was voted to close the season at this time. A fine was imposed ill the sum of ploO on the Clinton team for it's failure to appear at Providence on the night Of scheduled game, and Captain Far rell was fined $50. A committee Of three was appointed to investigate the charge that clubs had opened negotia- tions with western teams. The Low els were declared champions. The team will play series of nine games with a picked team composed of Wodtke and Pierce, rushers; Miller, center; Woods, >halfback, and Mallory, goal.
 Dan Daly gave as an excuse for tar rying in the,@Mst that his polo goods were stolen.
 Rumor says that Jimmy Canavan, now center for the Providence team, will be all the goods of a team that is going to be placed in Cincinnati next season.
 The Worcester Spy unkindly refers to the remnant of the American league as 8 grab-bag affair which affords the western tempter little chance for ex- ploration.
 Gavitt was placed on the bench by Hipson for unruly conduct. Draw a picture of Eddie Hip standing over Peon Cav with the cat-o'-nine. Pooh! Lowell Mail.
 Dor nAh nw%x- 41,a 1,S S+nt hai sna Chelsea halfback, has jumped the American league and gone to Richmond to take the job which Paul Gardner of Clinton turned down.
 Ping Pong Jimmy Cameron, the hero of the siege of Racine, has scored 8 new triumph. The other night when the regular goal tend of the Horlick team was unable to appear, Cameron took his place and made sixty-eight stops,g which breaks. the record in the western league.
 A number of strange stories have been circulated about Bone, the Provi- dence polo player. Some think he has jumped to the west owing to misun- derstanding with Manager Parsons, others imagine all kinds of things. The fact is Bone received an excellent offer
 
 the season here was nearly over, he, after consulting with MT Parsons, de- cided to go with the latter's full per- mission. It is also Bones intention to go. to Hot Springs and get into shape for the coming base ball season. He has signed contract to play with the Lawrence base ball team of the New England league. Bone is one of the speediests polo players that ever played the game and could make good on any team in the country. He was always big favorite with local fans. and cer- tainly played to win. He will be sore 1y missed by the lovers of the sport in this city. But Manager Parsons has secured 8 good man to take his place in Turner, the Westerly boy. Turner proved his worth. Saturday night by his great work, in which he nearly equalled Wodtke's record for shooting goals.-Providence Telegram
 A short time ago Manager Fox of the champion Lowell team heard that some one in Clinton was making reck- less statements to tho effect that there was $1,00O in that little town which said Clinton could beat Lowell. This was too much for MT Fox, who packed his grip and started out on a still hunt for the author of the above statement, with a certified check for $1 ,OOO in his inside pocket. When he reached %he back woods village, better known as 1.-The Land of the Midnight Cock Fights he had hard work to ring any one up. He finally located the gentle man, and started in. to talk business, showing his check to back up any state ments he should make. A funny thing happened This Clintonite had never seen a check for such a big amount before and said ssIt's no good"-Gust think of iD. A little later on some of his friends came around and after much hemming and having they finally decided the check was too good That closed the incident and there was "nothin' doing" so Fox took the next trolley for Worcester en route for Low ell.
