POLO.
Boston Has Now Become a Member of
 the League.

New Haven, Oct. 7.-Boston is to replace Wallingford in the circuit of the National Roller Polo league The league is taking in bigger cities at every meeting and London and Paris had better watch out or some one will be after franchises in these capitals. The magnates met at the Hotel Garde yesterday afternoon and ratified the scale of the Wallingford franchise to
 Edwin F. Galligan of Boston, repre-
 senting the Park square rink of that
 city. c. C. Fitzgerald of Brockton applied for franchise for that place,
 but 1t was decided that eight clubs now in the circuit would be sufficient. The championship race will start of on November 4, with clubs in the fol- lowing cities: Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, New Britain, Providence, Pawtucket and Boston. Boston starts off we'll for a begin ner for the manager has secured the services of Frank Wodtke, the Flying Dutchman. The Wallingford players reserved from last year go to Boston, too, including Wild Charlie Farrell. One deal was recorded at the meet ing. Mccarthy, the Wallingford rusher, who was turned over to Bos- ton, was traded for Jason of New Ha- ven.
 All the managers reported that they had secured rinks for the season and showed contracts with the own CTS. Manager Starkie of Hartford re- ported that his team would play at Capitol park instead of Luna park, as it was impossible to make arrange ments to secure the latter place and have it in shape in time. It was de- cided to have the playing season last twenty-three weeks. This decision was very pleasing to the numerous players who thronged the corridors of the hotel. Some of the men were doubtful about signing in this league but when they heard of the season to last twenty-three weeks they decided it was a better proposition than the Western associations could offer.
 The season is to begin on the even- 1 ing of November 4. On that night an officer of the league will go to Bridgeport and after making a speech will give to the Bridgeport team a championship pennant, en- blematic of the victory won last sea- son. This was decided upon at yes terday's meeting. It was voted to have the guarantee money of each club paid into the treasury by octo- Der II. It was also voted to have the 1 teams wear gray suits at the home games and black ones on the road.
 The home playing nights were de- cided upon as follows:
 MOnday-Bridgeport New Britain. Providence. Boston.
 Tuesday-New Haven, Waterbury, Pawtucket.
 ednesday-Hartford.
 Bridgeport. Waterbury. bury.
 Friday-New Haven. Pawtucket, ] Boston.
 Saturday-Hartford. New Britain. ] Providence
 Leon Parker and Fred Sehirmayer were recommended by Manager Star I kie as substitute referees for the Hartford games. They will be sp- pointed by Secretary Pyne.

Windsor Locks, Oct 7.-Windsor Locks beat Manchester at baseball yesterday afternoon, to 4, and no one seems to care how the election will go to-day. Owing to the fierce rivalry over the game, both teams were augmented by big leaguers, as the Connecticut league players are called up here. Half of the Windsor Locks players had to ask the way to the baseball park and if some of the men on the Manchester side were ever caught in that town it would be un- safe for them to appear before Judge Bowers.

THE AMATEURS
CITY LEAGUE
 RACE UNFINISHED
Merrimacs Beat the Pastimes and Brooklyn is Still in the
 Fight.

Contrary to the expectations of Manager Mcdonald of the Pastimes, the league season did not end yester- day and all because Manager William Ghent and his Merrimacs would not have it so. In the first game yester- day the Rrooklyns trimmed the Wash ington Hills and once more placed themselves in line for pennant win ner. Manager Mike Madden did not root for either team while the Pas times and Merrimacs were playing, but he prayed silently that the Mer- rimacs might win so that he could get one more crack at that cup. His prayers were answered, and now if Brooklyn beats the North Ends next Sunday the strange situation will de- velop of having three teams tied for first place.

In the first game yesterday between the Hills and the Brooklyns the former took the lead and held it in closely fought game up to the eighth inning. Slosher. who was doing the twjrling for Brooklyn was pitching remarkable ball, but his team mates were playing the most indifferent kind of baseball, In the eighth inning Brooklyn awoke to the situation and they hammered the ball hard enough to send four men over the plate, which was good enough for a victory. The score:
 Brooklyn-Lachance c, Slosher p, Cunningham 1b, Shugrue 2b, Edmunds ss. Rossiter 3b, Kelly If, Reese of, Kopp If,

I was nip and tuck game, that second one. and Manager McDonald of the Pastimes tried hard to stave off defeat. The credit of the victory really belongs to Manager Ghent himself for when q hit was needed he was always there with the safe swat. Darkness had begun to en- velop the field when the last man was out and it was difficult to see the ball. Bill Dwyer ofticated as um- plre and his work was all that could be wished for. The score:

may be that some military and naval

the defenceless condition Of the people

of the opinion that the military and
