RINK AND PLAYERS FIXED

The assurance of an unusually suc- cessful National Polo league was the outcome of yesterdays meeting of the magnates at the Garde hotel. The term national as applied to the polo league is now more fully recognized as an ideal name on account of the in terchange of hands and place of the Wallingford franchise, Edward F. Gall ligan of Boston, representing the Park square rink, has bought the franchise and the Wallingford team and is mak- ing final preparations for the opening of his rink.
 Those present at the meeting were Robert Eadie and Samuel Simmons of Bridgeport, George Bone of New Ha- ven H. Starkie of Hartford, P. F. Me- Mann and Richard Halliwell of Water- bury Edward F. Galligan of Boston, J, P. McKenna of Providence, George T. Cunningham of Pawtucket and H. J. Owens of Wa1lingford There were present at the meeting many of the polo players.
 c. c. Fitzgerald of Brockton applied for the Wallingford franchise, but it was given to Edward F. Galligan of \ Boston. A big surprise to the polo enthusiasts of this city, of whom there are very many, is that Jason, the crack player on last years New Haven team has been transferred to Galligan's Boston team Mccarthy of the Wal lingford team, now termed Boston, is coming to New Haven.
 All. the managers of the national league teams have located their rinks for the coming season. Most of the magnates have picked their players, but will not for a few days give out the line up, for fear that their nego- tiations with players should fall through. The New Haven team will pro rcbably be composed of the same team as last year with the exception that Jason will be missing and McCar- try will fill his place, Woodtke, the famous rush who played on Hartford last year, will play on the Boston team.
 The present outlook for the place to play for the local team Is in the Ouin- nipiac rink. The Hartford team will play at the Capitol park rink and the Bridgeport team at the freight house of the daily line of boats at the foot of Fairfield avenue.
 The league season will extend over a space of twenty-three weeks, be- ginning Monday, November 4. The first home game for George Bone's New Haven team will be on Tuesday, November 5. The home days for each team will be the same every week. The schedule of home dates follows:
 Monday-Bridgep New Britain, Providence and Boston.
 Tuesday--New Haven, Waterbury and Pawtucket.
 dnesday-Hartford
 hursday-Bridgepo and Water bury,
 Friday New Haven. Pawtucket and Providence.
 Saturday-New Britain, Hartford and Providence.
 The above shows that New Haven will play at home every week on Tuesdays and Fridays.
 It was voted at the meeting to give Bridgeport pennant flag for her vic- tory in the polo league last season. This pennant will be given to Man agers Eadie and Simmons at a meet ing of the Bridgeport team in about a week.
 It was also decided that the teams will wear gray suits at home and black on the road.
 The prosperous and successful ad- vance of the preparation for the na- tional polo season, the arrangement of such a splendid schedule by the schedule committee of which George Bone was chairman indicates that the polo fans of this city will be afforded
