POLO
LOCAL BOY WRITES
Waterbury Boy Says Polo in the West is Not Paying We'll
 and May Die.

The Western Polo league is not in a condition that could be called flourish ing, and in a letter to friend in this city Frank Sutton recently said that he would not be surprised to see the organization disband after Christmas. Sutton said one of the chief causes why the attendance was poor was the unevenness of the. teams. Some of them are much superior to others and there is no interest in the games un- less the leading teams are opposing each other. Some time ago the man agers of the various fives held a meet ing for the purpose of distributing the players so as to make the teams more evenly matched and thus make the race for the rag more spirited. Those who had good men hated to lose any of them, thinking it would disrupt their tea n work. and consequently made big howl about swapping. Others were clear sighted enough to see the hand writing on the wall ana knew that if it were not done it would be all day with the league. So some of the aggregations were made better and others naturally had to suffer. Yet the effect of the exchanging is not very visible by the increased attend. ance and it begins to look as if the middle west has had enough of polo for awhile. Still it is probable that the managers. encouraged by the re ceipts taken in on Christmas day, will determine to stick it out for the re mainder of the season in. the hopes that the crowds will grow larger and the money come in faster. Polo seems to hang on just so long wherever it goes and then the rooters lose inter est and the craze begins in another part of the country. In the vent of the league breaking Sutton has an offer to go to Michigan and play there. where the game is very popular at present.

THE PUGILlSTS
COULD FIGHT ONCE
Joe Handler Proved an Easy Mark Last Night . McGovern
 Bout is Off.

Joe Handler of Newark, who used to be a fairly good lightweight, tried to shine in the fistic limelight in a three round bout with Tommy Daly of Baltimore at Jack Lees Bleecker A. C., New York, last night. but made a sorry effort of it. Handler was out of condition and as slow as cart horse. Daily was in fine shape. Daily was in. clined to be easy with his man and re- served his hard punches for the third round.
 Handler started off by leading with the right. Daily sidestepped and came back with left uppercut, which was blocked. Handler scored a light 1ab and Daily countered on the head send ing Handler to the ropes.
 In the second round Daly rushed. catching Handler in the wind. but Handler countered on the neck. Hand Ter received blow on the ribs ana hugged to avoid vicious right. Hand Ter was leg weary and pulling when the bell rang. Daily made a wicked uppercut to the jaw and banged Hand ler's stomach. Handler clinched, buJ Daly smashed him on the head with the right and hooked the left to the jaw. Handler wobbled and when it looked as if another punch would set tie him the timekeeper rang the bell.
 The preliminaries were the liveliest seen at any of the clubs. The first pair were Young Tucker and Young Mime They fought all over the stage Tucker took the lead. but Mime even ed things up and the result was q draw. For fast pair Owen Flynn of New York and Frank Howe of Chi cago in the next mill took the prize. Each round was full of action. In the second Flynn sent Howe through the ropes with right.
 By finishing strong Flynn made a draw of it. Young Lee, by planting the left to the body. easily had the better of Tommy Markey. Markey was groggy at the final bell. Kid Cur ley and Jim Ryan had hot sluggfng bee. throwing science to the winds and punching when and where they could. Curley was thes winner.
 "The Broadway Slasher.' a husky welterweight. showed that he was a corker in a go against Peter Boult, col ored. The white man beat the negro about the body and jaw until Boult was forced to quit in the third round. Boult had the advantage of about pt- teen pounds.

THE DIAMOND
PULLIAM IS IT
National League President Defeats His Two Enemies Good Bits
 of Base Ball News.

New York, Dec 14.-Harry c. Pull liam yesterday was reelected presi- dent, secretary and treasurer of thu, National League of Baseball Clubs. James A. Hart, the retiring presiden. of the Chicago club, was put in nomin- ation against MT Pulliam by John T. Brush, president of the New York club, but declined to run.
 After the constitution had been amended so as to provide for five di- rectors instead of four, and eliminat- ing the geographical qualifications two from the east and two from the west-the following directors were chosen: Messrs A. H. Soden of Bos- ton; Barney Dreyfuss of PittsDurg; Charles H. Ebbetts of Brooklyn; W. !. Shettsline of Philadelphia, and Charles W. Murphy of Chicago.
 Messrs Brush, Hermann and Eb- betts were reappointed a committee on constitution, and Messrs Hanlon Dreyfuss and Murphy were named as the committee on playing rules. The question of having uniform tickets of admission was referred to commit tee.
 Hermann made a ten strike by signing Edward Hanlon to manage the Cincinnati club next year. Hermann stood ready to outbid all other com petitors, and Hanlon will receive sal ary close to $12,000 for next year.
 Before Hanlon signed the new con tract, however, he stipulated that Joe Kelley should be retained. Hanlon has held Kelley in high esteem ever since the latter. was a member of the old Baltimore champions, and under Hanlon next year he will probably ac' as captain of the nine. The Brooklyn club was not at all pleased with Herr mann's action, but as Hanlon was q free agent there was nothing wrong about the transaction.
 Report has it that Brooklyn's next manager will be Tom Daly, the for mer second baseman, who managed the Providence team season before last.
 The St Louis club is still without a manager, but there is chance for Frank Selee piloting the Cardinals TOT the Robisons. Selee, whose health has improved very much since he went r Colorado, is expected to he back Ill harness again next year He is under contract to Chicago, but Frank Chance is now the Chicago manager, and President Murphy may make deal with St Louis. Murphy, by the way, who was appointed on several commit tees and is said to have made a hit with his eloquence, made a trade yes, terday. He swapped Catcher oNeili and Pitcher Pfeffer to Boston TOT Catcher Pat Moran. The PittsDurg club traded Third Baseman brain, First Baseman Howard and Pitcher Lindemann, who was drafted from Jersey City. to Boston for Pitcher Vic Willis. Ralph Glaze, the Dartmouth football player and pitcher, signed with the Boston Americans yesterday.

HANLoN NAY CHANGE.

If money cuts any figure with him, Edward Hanlon will be the next man. ager of the Cincinnati National league club. Garry Hermann, the owner of the club, has come east determined to outbid all other seekers for Hanlon's services and will probably make a definite proposition to the Brooklyn manager today. Last spring Herr mann practically engaged Hanlon at the time, but the publication of the fact blocked the deal, as Hermann did not care to discourage Joe Kelley, who had charge of the Cincinnati club at the time. Since then Kelley has been deposed. having signed a con tract as a player only for next year, for Hanlon's engagement. Hanlon has not signed with Brooklyn for another season, and has been holding off to hear from the Cincinnati magnate.

TO SUE WEST VIRGINIA.

Attorney General William A. Andsr-
son Yesterday declined to discuss a re-
port that Virginia may enter suit in the
United States Supreme Court against
West Virginia for many millions Of dol
lars, owed, it is alleged, by the latter on
the State debt before the two common.
wealths were separated. West Virginia
has never admitted owing this sum, nor
has she yet taken any steps looking to
the appointment ola commission to in
vestigate the matter.
The belief is held by those familiar
with the situation that her legislature,
now in session, will decline TO touch the
question, and that it will be necessary
for Virginia to bring suit in order to pro-
tect herself.
A gentleman who has studied the sit
nation gives the following comprehensive
summary:
"The great mass of the holders Of the
certificates representing the unsettled
portion of the old Virginia debt have de-
posted them with the Virginia debt CON-
mission under a contract by which IT is
agreed that they will accept whatever
NAV be obtained. from West Virginia,
either by negotiation or suit, in full dis
charge OF all their claim aud to exoner-
Virginia from any further liability.

is grave question whether Virginia is

not decided whether suit will or will
