New England Fans Don't Like
The Big Half Back.
THE CROWDS HISS AT HIM

Barney Doherty, the old Rich
mond half back in the Western Polo
league, now playing in similar posi-
ton on the Boston team of the East
ern league, is the most unpopular
man in the league. The reputation of
wild Charley" Farrell in the days of
the old Western league does not COM
pare with that of Doherty among the
fans of the Eastern league. Immed-
lately upon his appearance on the
floor, according to local young man
who has just re turned from the East,
the crowds begin to hiss him and keep
it up until he leaves the floor upon
the completion of the game. Ado
Mansfield who plays at center on the
same team with the blonde boy is re-
garded in somewhat the same attitude
although it is much less pronounced.
However the two are accomplishing
the work. necessary to all capable de-
