New Britain, Nov. 7.-Secretary W. w Hanna, of the Connecticut Roller Polo League, threatened this morning to disclose the methods used by cer- tain players to hook suckers" after he had read an account of the American Roller Polo League meeting held in Springfield last night.

BALTIMORE
PLANS FOR BIG
YACHT RACE

At a recent meeting of the Maryland
Motorboat Club, in Baltimore, the race
planned next summer from Philadel-
phia was sanctioned and plans map
ped out to make the event one of the
hest ever staged in this section of the
country. The start will be made from
Philadelphia and that end will be in
charge of the Delaware River Yacht
Racing Association. At least one
Wilmington boat is expected to enter.
The Maryland Motorboat Club is
also making extensive preparations
for the annual club race next year
Instead of an event for about 100
miles, as held in past years, the course
has been changed so that each boat
will travel longer distance. The race
for next year will be from Baltimore
to Crisfeld and return, a distance OF
more than 200 miles. The date has
been set for August 1.
The race from Philadelphia to Bal
timore is expected to attract all the
leading boat clubs of the East. Just
what interest the various clubs Of
Maryland win take will not be deter
mined until after February, when VIII
liam Tanner, of the Maryland Motor
boat Club, will call a general meeting
for the purpose of organizing a section
for boats racing in Maryland waters
The intercity event is held under
rules Of the American Powerboat As
ISOLATION and boat clubs entered must
be affiliated with the organization.
Sections have been formed throughout
the East and such an organization in
this vicinity will do much toward
boosting the motorboat game. At
present the Maryland Motorboat Club
is the only local member of the or
ganization.
A banquet will be arranged for
February 1, at which time it is hoped
all interested in the motorboat sport
will be present. Plans for the COM
ing season and the question of form
ing a section will be discussed.
While it was hoped that the inter-
city race would supplant the annual
event held from Philadelphia to Ber-
muda, if the promoters decide to again
hold the long grind. it will in no way
affect the one from the Quaker City
to Baltimore, according to those in
terested in the race

his last ring battle. and would never
don the boxing togs again.
