Trouble Has Begun in Another
of the Polo Leagues.
The Southern New England Has In
ternal Dissensions A New League
Formed and Some "Cities Dropped
Fred Jean, the Center of the Wa
terbury Team, Has Arrived in This
City Where Will All the Polo Play
ers Get Off?
The National polo league is not the
only league that has had her troubles,
as will be seen by tho following story
in last night's Pawtucket Times:
The high-handed attempt of several
of the clulj owners in the Southern
New England I'olo .league to be
autocrats has resulted as was pre-
dieted and the result is that rhey will
be out in the eold unless they can or
ganize a league of their own. The
action of the clique at the meeting
last week when Fall Kiver was
turned down -and then taken back into
the league, Taunton summarily "iired
out" and East Weymouth, a "dead
one" admitted, was opposed by the
representatives of the l'awtucket and
Lawrence clubs, but' the opposition
was in the minority and the circuit
was changed to please the "real thing '
magnates.
The outcome is that Fawtueket,
Lawrence and Fall Kiver, all fran
chise holders in the southern New
England, have severed their connec
tion with that organization and a
league has been organized to be
known as the New England: Thus far
.-""the members of the new league are
the three former southern New Eng
'laud clubs already mentioned and
Taunton and Salem. The polo fans
in both of the last named places have
been anxious to have a club this win
ter, but the conditions have been
such that their chances were slim un
til the new move was made yesterday.
Tntil last Tuesday, Taunton expect
ed to be represented in the southern
New England, but Messrs Carroll and
Congblin promoted a "raw deal'' and
A- .B. White, who had been awarded
the franchise, was ousted.
,. In Salem Messrs. Minc-hiri and Broad
bent had secured the rink but Carroll
was awarded the franchise by the
league despite the fact that he had no
place to locate. . At the last. meeting of
the league Mr Carroll, upon being
called to timeAby;Cnu'ningliam, put up
a bluff and. said that he had secured
the rink in Peabody for his team.
Later, he modified this statement by
flaying that he was making arrangements-to
secure. the'' FeaTiody rink and
now Jt appears that he has not been
able to get in there. Furthermore Mr
F Carroll has only the merest outline of
a team as several of his star players
have Jumped to Maine. It was this
c that caused the real split at the league
meeting as Carroll, finding his men
slipping away from him." wanted to
take a -man who 'has already 'signed
with Taunton. Mr White refused to
be buncoed out of his player and Car
roll . and his friends . gave . him a
"freezeout."
Messrs Minclilnnnd Broadbont have
been sjgnbig players, despite, the. fact
they hold no franchise and as Salem
..is considered one. of the best polo
towns in this section it was deemed
advisable to have a team there hence
the, action of ithe Southern New Eng1
land, minority. The Fall Kiver club
will undoubtedly be handled by Frank.
Wodtke", the "Flying Dutchman,"" who
was one of the stars of the National
league. There are three men in the
Spindle city who are ready to give
; the team substantial backing provid
ing Wodtke takes hold and with the
' "Dutchman" in the rush line it cer
tainly would be a great drawing card
around the circuit.
Although the league as at present
1 constituted consists of only five clubs
there is little doubt but what Broek-
' ton and Plymouth will come in later.
These two are both good polo towns
and the management in both places
cannot afford to Join hands with Clin
ton and East Weymouth, as the for
mer is too long a Jump and the latter
: a dead letter. As to Carroll and his
' franchise it appears that he would be
unable to get into, line anyway as he
has no rink. Providing Brockton and
. Plymouth desire to Join the new league
.'they will be admitted. If not it will
be a five club league.
r The meeting was held at Clark's
hotel. Boston, yesterday and Paw
tucket. Lawrence, Salem, Taunton and
r.. Fall Kiver were represented. In ad-

Parsons and Cunningham favored
keeping Taunton ' on the circuit and
they may take" some action later to
nee if It is not possible to have a team
in that eitr
' Frank Wrodtke, one of the rushers
on the Hartford team last season, and
who Is familkirly known as the "Fly
liig Dutchman," will not be a mem--'
tber of Cotter's team this year. Billy
jParsons Is authority for the statement
that Fall River has offered Wodtke
' $100 a week to join the Fall River
team. . ' - .
. -"We will have p'.iyers enough and
" to spare," said Tom Cotter after '.the
roller polo meeting at Hartford on
Saturday. "I see that some think we
will not begin to make things hum a
week from to-night down our . way.
J. wish those parties eoulu pay us a
-isit and take us in. I know I am go
ing down Monday to get things ready.
' We will have Meriden. as our first at

we do not pack the place to the doors
I miss Illy mark. If matters do not
ro amiss 'Hobe' Whiting will have

ON THE GRIDIRON.
Doctoring Bruises and Getting Ready
For the Big Games. t "
Ithaca.' Oct 30. Cornell got.dbwno
work ytsterday afternoon and a line-up
of fifteen-minute halves was the fea
ture.- The team will leave- for xren--.
ton on Thursday night. Friday light
practice will take place at this place
and Saturday morning the Ithacaus
will go to Princeton.
rrinceton, Oct 30. The style. of; play
which was used out by Brown last Sat
urday was apparently a , little hot for
the Tigers, who had to take an extra
day off to digest the dose which they
received, that is, there was no regu
lar line-up with the scrubs yesterday
afternoon, although some of the men
were sent through a short fast signal
drill to limber up their joints.
New York, M 30. Coach Sanford
expressed the belief yesterday that the
Columbia 'varsity wijl make the'
Princeton Tigers play one of their
hardest games of the year on election
day. He began preparing the men for
that contest as soon as they got their
football togs on. No game will be
played by Columbia until that 5day so
that all of the players will have ample
time to get over their bruises. The
system of play that worked so success
fully against Yale will be perfected so
that when the eleven lines up against
Princeton it will be in the best possi
ble condition.
Middletown, Oct 30. As the time for
Wesleyan's championship football
games draws nearer grave doubts are;
entertained as to the ability of the'
eleven to win out, and unless there Is;
a decided change for the better defeat;
in the series is certain Wesleyau's
weakness is in defense. This , was
shown in the game with Trinity, which;
made all kinds of gains. When Wes-:
leyau had the ball good gains were
made by the backs, but the poor judg
ment used in giving signals and fum
bling by the quarter back prevented a
touchdown several times.
Cambridge. Oct 30. The Harvard
eleven opened its second week of se
cret practice by scoring three touch
downs against the second eleven. Al
though most of the 'varsity men were
out numerous changes were made.
Bowditch was put in at left end over
Campbell. He, Lee and Hallowell
were the only line men to .play all
through the practice game. Roberts
was once more tried at center. Of the
backs not one of the first trio, Sawin,
Kendall and Ellis, were in the line-up.
though Sawin took part in the signal
practice. Kendall is still laid up and
Keruan did not dress to play.. Fincke
had a try at quarter back. Swann,
Devens. Derby and Stillmart, the sub
stitute backs, made long end runs.
New Haven, Oct 30. Two of Yale's
veteran football coaches yesterday af
ternoon put on uniforms and went into
the practice game to try to hammer
some tuothall into the lale team.
They were "Stub" Chamberlain, the '1)7
captain, and "Skin" Brown, the tall
tackle who ' played in '"J4 and 'l5.
Brown went through the 'varsity rush
ers and Chamberlain broke un the 'var
sity plays. The practice was very hard
considering that Yale played a hard
game on Saturday. A new end rusher
was tried for the first time on the
scrub team. His name Is Harry Ben
ham.'. He is a 'Brownie"' in stature.
He played a game at eud yesterday af
ternoon that caused the crowd -of spec
tators to applaud him again and again.
Keane, who has just gotten off crutch
es, played for a short time at his old
place at half back.
Cambridge, Oct 30. Harvard Is all
up In arms over the protest against
McCracken and how Pennsylvania will
reply. The latter is expected to take
the ground that McCracken did not
play football in a "big" game or. as a.
.regular ; player- in -!a small ganJ$, J-Jjut
merely as a substitute In a small game.
Nevertheless, Harvard contends that
tliis Is a breach of the four years eligi
bility rule. Besides, the whole thing
is again covered by his competing In
track games against Harvard, to which
the calendar four years' defense is ab
solutely untenable, though Chairman
Hollis of the athletic committee, Head
Ccaeh Dibble and Captain Daly f the
eleven will not speak about the mat
ter. The student body, however, is of
one .opinion, and that is to send'aniil-
timatum that the playing of McCrack
en will be considered sufficient ground
for severing all athletic relations.
Philadelphia, Oct 30. The McCrack
en protest was the great topic -ot' con
versation in ' Pennsylvania -circles yes
terday. The students' "are Iff favor" of
playing the noted half lajpk, as thejy
do nor consider that he was a mem
ber of -the team In. 1890. The- faculty
athletic committee has final say In the
matter.. Several of the members who
have been interviewed have evidently
had the matter under consideration
and unofficially consider McCracken as
eligible to represent the university
during the football season.' -A meeting
or tue committee was held last even
ing. At its conclusion Dr J. William
White stated that "correspondence was
going on between "the "Harvard ,and
Pennsylvania committees. and that as
a matter of courtesy -to Harvard. .no
news could be given as to the contentjs
of the various letters. "I can say tbts
mucn, noweyer," concluded Dr White.

Tom O'Rourke is Out With An
, ;; other Roast For Sharkey.
If ne Does Not Force the Irishman
Intj a. Fight; . With. His "Coon" It
"Will Be Surprising Result of the
Horton Law A Little Talk About
the Heavyweights Consldine Has
Iteturned From . England, and . Will
Tell His Tale of Woe Jack O'Brien
and Jimmy Handler Have a Go.
Although Tom Sharkey has been
persistent in hl'i. refusal to fight Joe
Walcott, Tom O'Rourke, the manager
of the latter .fighter, . still-, Has .hopes
that he may cause the Sailor to change
his mind. From the first Sharkey has
said that 'tie' would" not light a negro
tim there lis, no reason" for Believe that
ho wjll alter;. his .decision. The-Sailor
is willing to fight the biggest ana ucsl
white men in "the ring, but he draws
the color line and insists that O'Rourke
cannot draw him into- a mill with a
negro. - He says O'Rourke may coax,
cajole, taunt .and threaten, but that
he will stand fast to the' color line.
O'Rourke.- acting for AValcott, has
posted a forfeit of $2,000 to bind a
match with Sharkey. This money he
will leave on deposit until Monday of
next week. In the event of Sharkey
failing to cover it by that time lie will
challenge some of the other heavy
weights to fight Walcott. O'Rourke's
faith in Walcott's prowess is not new
born. It is not the development of
any difficulty that may have arisen be
tween him and Sharkey recently. More
than a year- ago, and while Sharkey
still was under O'Rourke's manage
ment, O'Rourke frequently expressed
the belieAhat Walcott could whip all
the Heavyweights but Jeffries.
Last night O'Rourke Issued the fol
lowing letter:
"Sharkey claims I wanted him to
fake fights and names Jeffries. Such
nonsense. Everybody knows that
there would be no occasion to 'do that
as Jeffries would compel him to do as
Ruhlin did without faking it. If It
was possible to-get-.-Sharkey in the
ring again -with Jeffries.
"Sharkey was under my manage
ment for two years. In that time he
had live fights. :IIe won only one out
of- that number and reeeivxid $4S,0U0
for his share, more money than he ever
saw, !ns' he claims :he came here with
iuly. $3,000.- saying that, his . former
manager, Danny Lynch, had taken it
all away -front him. I don. think' so,
as he is money-mad and has the first
dollar he made In the navy. .
"ITe has not answered my challenge
to Walcott. Why should a third-rater
refuse to meet a champion, as Wal
cott is the only champion in his class.
Peter Jackson, .one of the greatest of
lighters, always said Walcott could
beat Sharkey, and I have refused an
other contract with Sharkey.
"As Mr Comiskey knows, the only
reason Sharkey wanted to tie up with
me again was so that I would not
challenge him with Walcott, but I re
fused. I never had a contract with
Dixon or Walcott. and they are more
intelligent than Sharkey. They can
red and write and figure out their
own percentage.
"I will leave Walcott's $2,500 up un
til next Monday.
"TOM O'ROURKE."
A letter bearing the signature of
'Joseph N. Walcott" also was issued.
There was as much rot in it as if It
had been written by Walcott, which
it was not. Walcott is a good fighter.
The letter writing ought to be cut out
of his "business."
CONSIDINE WILL TALK.
George Consldine, the matchmaker
of 1 ho Broadway A. C, and former
manager of Jim Corbett, admitted yes
terday that it was true that ho had
severed his relations with "Pompa
dour Jim." "I will issue a statement
in a few days," pursued Consldine,
"relative to my sudden departure for
England with Corbett and tell all I
know about the MeCoy-Corbett encouu-
. As my name has been linked
with this unfortunate affair in justice
to -myself and reputation ! will let the''
public know how 1 stand In regard to
the match. While at London I visit
ed the National Sporting club and was
present at the McKeever-Plumb fight.
Jl was much impressed with the way
the club handled th contest and like
th idea of the referee being stationed
outside of the ring. It' is a great in
novation and if another law is passed
in tins state to regulate boxing I will
introduce the idea at" the Broadway A.
u. l ne power or the referee in box
ing bouts In England Is supreme. The
pugilists are warned only once, and
the least violation of the rules Is pun
ished by disqualification. Most of the
bouts terminate in decisions. At anv
rate, this is the. order at the National
Sporting club. Draws at this organi-
zatiop, l am, informed, are rare occur
rences. Then the noisy demonstra
tions' among the spectators so mani
f est" at our clubs are unheard of. Mem
bers and guests are only permitted to
applaud during the rest between
rounds. I have-seen members of the
aristocracy in England at the National
club being called 4own for becoming
too enthusiastic while the combat was
in. progress.: -, i I was treated finely by
Ithe. , British c sports, i especially hy

about his future plans. But I guess
he Intends to remain abroad . for a
long period." .
O'BRIEN ALMOST OUT.
Jack O'Brien.: of New forli" and Jim
my Handler of Newark fought, six .of
the hardest, rounds at the Penn Art
club, Philadelphia, last night that have
ever been seen here. - Early in the first
round Handler sent O'Brien to the mat
for. eight- seconds. The blow- was" a

liarid had been clfnched O'Brien would

ABOUT TllIE. . HK AV Y WEUJ IIT S.
i-'The. only, outbreak, in., the., ranks . of
heavy weight pugilism last- week came
from the camp' of Tom -Sharkey, and
was in the shape of 'a challenge to
Champion Jim Jeffries. Gus Ruhlin
bad his say anent the champion ques-
tlon 't e -time ago, w.ith unsatisfac
tory V hltS.srJim . Corbett, dt.be ever

pion t Weeks, ago and was told, to
right hi elf before the publjehy fight.
ingi-McQ V again.- So he, .as .far as
fighting ior the. championship is 'con
cerned, is entirely out of the running.
Sharkey's challenge to ' Jeffries will
probably be ignored, also, despite the
fact he gave the champion the hard
est battle In his, ' (Jeffries' s) career.
There are two items checked up
against Sharkey, however, which mili
tate, against hl prospects of inveig
ling the : champion into a match at
present, and- those are his defeats at
the hands of Ruhlin and Fitzslmmons.
And - Fltzslmmons apnears to be the
stumbling block that prevents Ruhlin
from- also el'nehing a match with the
chatnpipn. Before Ruhlin . defeated
Sharkey, the latter was Jeffries'a log
leal opponent. After Gus put Tom
away the Sailor ,lmd second call, but
after Fltzsimmons" defeated both, Sliar
key was not even considered an en
tered starter In the championship
race. And Corbett's" defeat at the
hands of Fltzsimmons and his two
contests with. Sharkey place him at
the bottom of the list of tho eliglbles.
So, according to the standing of the
heavyweights beneath the champion,
Fltzsimmons has first call, Ruhlin
next, then Sharkey, and lastly Corbett.
"Fitz" is out of the game for good,
and Jeffries says if Bob does not want
to take him on he will give Ruhlin
the first opportunity to win the much
coveted title. Ruhlin has already
challenged Jeffries, and the probabil
ity ig that the match will' be made as
soon as the proper financial Induce
ments present themselves. In the
nicantime Sharkey arid Corbet-t, un
less they are seeking to advertise their
business, ought to lie low, as " their
challenges will undoubtedly be ig
nored. nORTON LAW RESULTS.
With the death of ffie Horton law
came also the death of big purses,
large gate receipts, and naturally tho
depreciation of the value of the big
guns in the pugilistic profession. The
goods they deal in are just as valuable
to-day as they were before the Lewis
bill took effect, but there Is no mar
ket for their goods, hence the deprecl
ation. Top-notch pugilists, irrespec
tive of their class, and in spite of the
fact their leads and cross-counters are
not as marketable as they were six
months ago, still demand prosperity
prices. They do pot, it appears, be
lieve in that old business adage of
"quick sales aud small profits," but
hold' out for the old Horton law fig
ures. There might be some wisdom
in the stand they are taking if every
large city in the country was as open
to them as was JSew lork, but, un
fortunately for them,, such is not the
case. For two years all pugilistic
roads led to New York, but now pu
gilistic roads lead sfity ' and every
where from New York.' with no spe
cial destination. A short time ago
New York was the harvesting center of
the United States for the knights of
the boxing glove. Te-day the pugilis
tic crops, like the pugilists, are -scat
tered throughout the, broad land, wltn
no location offering enough Induce
ments to satisfy their financial cribs.
There Is a little picking for the fight
ers who do not place ,too high a valu4
on their services in' -.several cities in
the states of Connecticut, Pennsylvan
ia, Ohip, Illinois, Kentucky, Colorado
and California. ' The authorities in
Philadelphia and Chicago, the two lar
gest cities in the states named, permit
contests limited to six rounds only.
The fistic public does' not take kindly
to six-round limit bouts, and the pro
moters, therefore, cannot afford large
guarantees to those wtiicti are really
worth them. If Philadelphia and Chi
cago fight promoters.. cuuld get conces
sions from the powers, that be to hold
twenty-round contest's, they could of
fer financial inducements large enough
to procure the best fistic talent In the
world.

THE CHECKER CHAMPIONSHIP.
Boston, Oct 30. Two more draw
games were recorded in the checker
championship tournament yesterday
afternoon and evening. There was a
radical departure from book lines of
play in the afternoon play. The
game was a Dundee Cross, with Bar
ker playing the black pieces, aud the
opening of 11 lo was responded to
by 2318. At the eighteenth move
Jordan made the unexpected move of:
3120, which Barker did not seem to
be conversant with and which caused
him considerable trouble. Barker was
compelled to sacrifice a piece, and it
was only after many moves, during
which he cleverly avoided the traps
set by Jordan, that he was able to re-:
cover it and bring the contest to a
draw. The same opening and reply
was used in the evening game. Early
in the game Barker took Anderson's
first variation. 2723. and Jordan took.
the twelfth variation of the same
author, 1014, 1010. 1423, 2019
-14. Barker followed this line with
2420. There Jordan left standard
play, taking 710, and thus leaving
both players on their own powers of
mental analysis. The play throughout
appeared faultless on both sides, and
after sixty-five moves a draw was
agreed ujyon. . . .

DUFFY KILLS THE RUMORS.
A mild sensation has been caused hv
the wild rumor that Arthur Duffy, the
Georgetown sprinter wno won the
English 100-yard champlonshin last
spring, was in Denver, under the alias
of Ashmore. The only foundation for
the rumor is in statements made In
a Denver paper wYiich ilas frequent
ly -volunteered the information that
Duffy is in the western city under an
assumed name. When the report
reached the chanfpion sprinter, who is.
now studying at Georgetown univev
sity. he promptly denied it iu the, fol
lowing words: "I have been in, Wash
ington since October 1 and can bring
affidavits or statements to that effect.
i cannot understand whence. &ucb fool
ishness sprang."
