Proxy Moore of Roller Polo Fame
 Looks Springfield Over.

Springfield. Aug. 23.--F. w. Moore of Lowell, president of the American roller polo league, has been looking Springfield over and has come to the conclusion that this city is ripe to break out in polo circles. If all works out satisfactorily the Brockton team will be shifted to the Home city. But one difficulty comes in the way-the matter of 6 playing surface.
 Moore has not combed the city for a playing site, as his visit was mere ly to get the public feeling toward the game. He is satisfied that sport fol lowers in this vicinity are enthusiastic to take over the Brockton franchise Providence and Worcester have made a huge success of the game in previ- ous years and Moore cannot see why Springfield should not follow in their footsteps.

 Cooney is a right handed hitter, and among the hardest hitters in the East ern league. He comes of a real base ball family, as his father was Jimmy Cooney, who played shortstop on An sons old Chicago Colts The Coon eys live in Paterson.

TANKS GO BACK
 TO FIRST DIVISION
Mays and Sisler Have Wordy Ar- guments, Causing Excitement

St. Louis, Aug. 23.-In a peppcry contest, punctuated with a near fistic clash between Carl Mays and George Sisler, the Yankees hammered d 5-to-2 victory out of Dave Davenport yesterday. The New Yorks boarded d train for Chicago last night with the satisfaction that the victory had given them the first series they have taken in the West this season and boosted New York back into fourth place.
 Feeling, which ran high Thursday, culminated yesterday in a threatened pugilistic clash between Sisler and Mays. Though Mays underhand de- livery has been mighty effective, the former Red Sox tWirler never has been accused of using any illegal de- livery other than the "bean ball" From the start yesterday the Browns complained that Mays was doctoring the ball. and after Sisler fouled 10 Baker with Austin and Gedeon on ahead in the first frame, Manager Jimmy Burke demanded that the umpires make an investigation.
 Umpire Moriarty examined Mays glove, belt, pockets shirt and trousers and closely inspected four balls in vain hunt for indications of emery, talcum or other foreign substance Failing to find any, he ordered the game to proceed.
 At this juncture Ssler made some caustic remarks about Mays and dashed toward the box as if to attack him. The Yankee boxer met hum halfway, but both umpires and some of the players got there at the same time and the belligerents were hauled away from each other
 Players Keep It Up.
 The affair set both teams to riding" each other and in the second Moriarty halted the game long enough to chase the Yankees back into their dugout and warn them to Hay off" Sisler. Moriarty halted the game again in the third and ordered Bob ShaWley, who was sitting on the edge of the dugout to get back in and take a seat on the bench itself When Shawlley rem monstrated he was ordered off the field and fined.
 The score:
