Managers and Players Getting Ready
 for the Season
 The Flanagan league is getting bit wobbly Mail.
 Barney Doherty, whom Jee Fox tried to sign for Marion. has been awarded to Richmond by the peace makers of the Western and Central Ohio leagues.
 Bill Parsons is down and out of polo and is now at his home in Hartford.
 Gene Hart will play polo around Massachusetts before going west in case the amateur league which is now being organized nlaterializes.
 Fred Lewis, Frank Warner and Eu- gene Hart, the three Meriden polo players who are to perform f.se com Ing season in the west, are getting in fine condition by road and gymnasium work. They expect to start west about November 1.
 It begins to look as though Mallory, goal tend, would be without place in the Western league. It is understood that Burgess will play at. Marion. M1l- len is secure at Anderson, White at Blwood Cusdck at Muncie and Jessup at Richmond. while an eastern anna terr named Stark1e will be at Indian apolfs. Big Bill Bannon and ''Mick- ey' Cashnan will also be found in the Gentral league.-Richmond Item.
 Harry Way of Hartford will leave tomorrow eveing for Indianapolis. He has signed a roller polo beam for that city, which is in the Western league. His team will contain the following players: Dickie Pierce of Providence, hrst rush; George Cunningham of Pawtucket, second rush; A. CoggeshaIl of Hartford, center; Harry Way of Hartford, halfback: Harry Starkie of Hartford, goal. All of these players were seen in Hartford when polo was played in that city. Way offered WodNke, the wizard, $95 a week to play on his bean1, but he refused the offer. He is the highest priced play CT in the country and it is supposed that he is to get $10o week in An derson, Ind.
 M. J. Kittredge has given up any idea of placing a polo team in Worces- ter tlais season, but he hasn't aban- doned the plan of having Worcester in strong polo circuit. Kitrsdge thinks it will be good for the game in this section to let it rest for year. By that time the polo managers in the west who outbid eastern managers for the best players, will have had all they want of high salaries, and east erh managers will get a chance to get soms of the good men, The players will find that the east is better place to plan in. and to live than the middle section of Indiana, and will be glad for chance to return. KittTedge can have franchise in the newly organ ized polo league of this section, but does not think well of the prospects, and will devote his energies to other enterprises
 Reports from Indianapolis say that Way has sighed two contracts. Tn re- gard to this he said yesterday that he had not signed two contracts. He said he had signed a provisional con- tract with Manager Cohen of Indian apolis, and he promised him he would play there providing team was not started in Danville, H. When he left Indianapolis the scheme of having
 
 dubious. He was offered more money by Danville and he told Cohen that he would go there, provided team was started. He said he was undecided as to what he would do, but the chances were that he would play in Indian apolis, where he is to get $65 a week. He played last winter in Indianapolis and the previous winters he was in London and Paris, playing roller polo and riding in amateur bicycle races. The amateurs over there are not as fast as they are here, and Way won a number of races. Leydon was on the polo team with him in Europe, and the team challenged the world. They beat all the teams they played with in England and France. Tom Cotter has been out of the game for some time. He runs sample room in Boston on Front street and weighs about 250
