Breezy News Comes Out of the Vest
 ern Circuit.
 Elwood, leader in the Western league, visited Racine Friday night and shut out the home team. Old Man Roberts and his mates scored three goals. It was the thirteenth straight win of FL wood.
 Whipple, the Indianapolis utility man, will train q new polo player dur ing the coming summer. He arrived last Saturday, and weighed seven pounds. He is little light for the rush line, but ill time will doubtless prove valuable addition to the team.-Mun- cie Star.
 Paddy Moran, the Richmond half back, has been dropped. Paddy held the job longer than anyone who real ized his lack of ability thought he would. Blondy Barney Doherty is working ill the position in such pleas ing way that Paddy will soon be for gotten as a player, but never as droll comedian
 The Anderson, Ind, Herald is re- sponsible for fearfully scandalous re- port. The Herald intimates that Phil Jason was dropped from Muncie be- cause he refused to drink Scotch high balls. Sunny Jim will never make the manager unhappy because of indiffer- ence regarding the punishment of Scotch boys. Dan never objects to the high ones, and he can hit lem some.-- Worcester Spy,
 Fred Jean is one of those fellows who means all right, but he's too easily offended. Because the Mail said the other day that he shouldn't be parading the fact that he received a $1OO offer from the west, he modestly informed the writer that he'd be the winner in boxing bout with the writer or anyone that bears the writer's name. Being at disadvantage by matter of about seventyIfive pounds and disinclina- tion to do anyone bodily harm, we agreed with him.-Lowell Mail
 William A. Parsons, owner of the Lowell and Providence teams in the American league, will probably take his Lowell champions west after this week. He has forwarded proposition to Secretary Dave Durbin of the Vest ern league for series of games be- tween the Lowell and all star teams in cities of. the wetsern circuit, but it Is understood that only the, Lowell team will be drawn west. Springfield Mer- idep. Hartford and other cities have asked for exhibition games, but the fact that members of the teams are tired after playing nine games in ten nights makes it undesirable to accept the opportunities.
 Mickey Cashman had quite q little joke played upon him few nights ago in Racine. He was caught flirting with n 1AI 1Nxy +I,.N town authorities. But the authorities were in league with the funmakers and whep. Mickey cooled off he was hustled out of the jug on the promise of buy ing misunderstanding liquids and cigars. The Lowell champions have pulled up stakes and gone west. Yesterday morn ing a telegram was received by Mana ger Fox announcing the successful con- clusion of negotiations that had been under way since the close of the sea- son in the east. At noon the players had their grips packed and were on their way to the Middlesex street sta tion. Tommy Holderness happened to be at his home down Connecticut way, and a telegram was sent toH him in- structing him to join the team at Bos- ton. Holderness received the message in time to make proper train connec- ton and he joined the team in. Boston. Muncie, Ind. is the destination of the team. That city has seen a losing game of polo ever since the acquisition of Daily, the Worcester man, who was touted as one of the swiftest articles in the market and this fact has led to the purchase of the Lowell team for the rest of the present season. which reaches finish on April 15, Joe Fox will manage the team at Muncie. He will be on salary, as will the players, while the Muncie owners will reap the real harvest.
