NATIONAL POLO
 LEAGUE CIRCUIT
Three and Probably Four Cities of Connecticut May be
 Enrolled

New Haven, Aug. z3.-The anno1ncs-
 n,ent that New Haven might land in
 the National Polo league this winter
 has caused considerable interest
 among the hundreds of polo fans in
 town, for with this city in the big
 circuit, polo which has been dead and buried here for several years will again be the principal winter sport
 in the Elm city, With New Haven,
 tionaI league circtjt, the league would
 be well balanced and the circuit would
 be just about ideal. There is strong
 probability that the promised light
 between the National Roller Ps1o League and the proposed Connecttcut league. about which there has been
 so much talk this summer, will not materiaIize, but that instead there will be a sort of merger between t1s two.
 It is claimed that Brockton is prac- tically dead to polo and that there isn't enough interest in Pavtucket to make the game a paying venture there this winter. With the opening Of the season hardly six weeks away things are now beginning to assraue
 definite shape and it looks as
 though the Brockton and PaWtucket franchises will be transferred to New
 Haven and Hartford, while George
 Cunningham will return to Waterbury.
 Bridgeport is said to be after a pIace
 in the league, but the Park Cfty's en-
 try into the circuit doesn't appear so certain as that of the other two new cities.
 Waterbury was considerably an outsider last year, being the only city
 in the state that was in the lea
 gue, so that what profits were made
 were more than lost in trave1ing ex-
 penses in the long jumps. Cunning boY,, Jos< rnonov there 1azf year and
 had two chances to transfer the fran chise but decided to return. Pres5- ent indications are that the league
 will be composed of Waterbury, Hart ford, New Haven, Fall River, New
 Bedford, Taunton, Worcester and Providence. Jim Clarkin will prob ably run things in Ha~fford and Jim my Canavan Tn New Haven.
 George Bone is one of the players reserved by the Waterbury team

 Manager McCann of Bridgeport said yesterday that New Britain was liable to lose the eight games in which Webb pitched, for he was not signed. He was drafted player and could not be sent to a Class B club without the consent of the clubs in the league he was drafted from. Manager McCann said that if O'Nefl tried to make any trouble over the sale of Ivor Swanson he would have the New Britain club fined $25 for every man on the team because the contracts were not filed at the proper time and in addition he would have the eight games won by Webb thrown out.
 t'The leaeue, as at present constitut- ed, has got Manager O'Nei1 up tree and President Tracy cannot save him. This was shown by the replies that Manager McCann received when he wrote for permission to play Swan son. Tn the fight two years ago, ONeil was backed up by Harold R. Durant but Mickey Finn, the present Waterbury manager is of different caliber"
