 Now that the magnates have decid- ed to amputate the polo schedule, cutting off one week and causing the whirlwind season to come to an unex- pected close. Saturday night there re- mains but this week for New Haven : to clinch the second place honors. Bridgeport will be the only team the loacls will have to contend with.
 The Hartford club has shown poor team work lately, losing the two home games of the past week by, a lack of concerted effort. The boys developed streak of Init for the cage and with everyone slamming the ball at the visitors goal there has been little progress or real aggressive polo shown. Hartford can finish second by taking every game this week, but that is hard proposition for the present lineup, especially considering the lack of team work.
 New Britain will be an easy winner of the pennant, the Globe champion- ship cup, when the season closeslnext Saturday. No club has a license to overhaul MT. Hanna's speedy crew now, and the only chance of little excite ment is post-season series between Jeans quintette and a team picked from the stars of the other clubs. Such a series is proposed and it may be consummated.
 New Haven plays but three games this week while Bridgeport Is schedul- ed for five. The locals three games are all hard and Bones five will have to work to their limit in order to mako a clean sweep. Hartford is due here tomorrow night and considering that the contest is in the local rink and not in the band-box at Hartford the chances are that New Haven will skim out with an easy victory. Thursday night Waterbury visits us for the last time and considering that they are frantically endeavoring to keep out of game. Saturday night we beat it for New Britain where we will finish the season. Considering that this is the last week of polo, that New Haven has a splendid chance for second place, and that both home games ought to be games of the hottest possible va riety the fans of this city ought to all turn out tomorrow and Friday nights.
 Pawtucket is certain of fifth place, with Waterbury fairly certain of sixth and the Providence Grays last. The showing of the latter club has been weak, considering It's rather strong lineup, and in the face of the splen- did support that the game has been given in the Rhode Island city.
