Welch Says His Team Will Stick to Him and Play Independent Polo-Big Ueet-V ing Tomorrow. (By' Casey.) Cleaning Up McGraths Coyle and liarring- Quintet ton Knock Em, Dead. They can't atop em thats all.

Dan Harrington and hie Jrve Herald Buccaneers won their eighth straight string In the Press bowling league last night on the Central alleys when they thrice wiped the colors of Manager Dan McGrath end hie Newsies In the dust. The contests were all keen ones although none of tbe bowlers with the exception of "Sheeney Coyle rolled up to their usual form. The rooting made one think pf a miniature Tale-Harvard football game and at the conokislon the bowlers and their beck era wWwgaora worn out from lung exertion than from the actual bowling at the game. Captain Danny" of the News-beys may not be the greatest bowler in the league, but as a rooter he has every thing "skunaed a mile. Mao put plenty of pep into hie charges but the pins imply would not break for them and as a result thres straight little goose eggs were laid In their cozy nest by tbe steady heady Herald aggregation.

"Your Unde Cyrus" Perkins wad ths only member of the Pocaeset street aggregation who was away off form, the others rolling an even consistent gam a Coyle, Harrington and Spence an went well over the 290 mark, while Con Cuslck, after getting off poorly came back strong In the final string. Dan Harrington won the single string honors with 107 and Coyle brought home the three-string bacon with an even 100. Here Is how It happened: Herald racuse or Buffalo will make up the circuit. With cities of this else the league should play to record crowds. Ossie Quigley, the star ruen of the New Britain team packed his belongings recently and left for his homo in the west and It Is not believed that he Will return again this season unlor any circumstances.

The outcome of the proposed American league will not be known un Jl after tomorrows meeting in Providence. It Is to be hoped that the leagje is organ tied on a sound basis which with the small Jumps between -the proposed cities and the satisfying of the players as well ss a man not connected With the sport at Its head would again put the game in a good light before the public and cut out ths petty dlok rings of ths owners of the various teams. Ths local management is sincere In Its desire to bring a team to this city under proper conditions and give them a winning outfit. If such a thing eomea to pass there need be no worry that tne fans will not turn out in large numbers to witness toe enteetn There la little wonder that the players go herq and there and everywhere Just ss they please for they have so long been practically ths head of affairs that it Just oome natural lo them now. They are a fine, manly bunch of fellows and the writer is a personal friend of many of them, but for the good of the game they should be held under contract from season to season as are baseball players.

Tbs one thing that has mads baseball our national pastime" la the fact that tt has always been open and above board and the publlo has been let In on sl the secreta. The players artfjar better off 'today even under the so-called "slavs" rule than are the polo BOSTON, Deo. 29. The new grounds of tbs Boston National league baseball club in Allston wtu be tbe largest ta the country. In else and seating capacity, and will ooet more thaA any baseball plant yet constructed.

President James E. Gaffney said after discussion of the plasm by the board of directors yesterday. Forty thousand, two hundred and elghty-two persona will he able to see the game from seats, lie said. Of these seats 14,981 will be In a grand stand of one story, so constructed as The polo appears to be In 1 big muddle and only those on the Inside know Just how things are going, and it is doubtful if even they are just sure where they stand. Players, magnates and fans are all mixed up over the situation, and unless the matter Is straightened out at the meeting In Providence on Thursday the trouble will do the game no good.

Roller polo is one of the finest and most interesting Indoor pastimes, for-. the players and the spectators, and if run on the plans mapped out In last night's Herald would be as successful a sport in the winter as ere baseball in summer and football In the fall, It was reported from 'Providence Esturday that the members of the Al- bany had stated their willingness to leave the old Inter State and oome over to the proposed new Amrlcn league. A report 'Albany sent out yesterday, however, is directly contrary to "the Providence account, It states that Manager George Welch, who had a team here for a short time this season, says that the dropping of Albany from the Jeague will not stop the playing of the game In the New York capital. He says he will con- tlnue the gams in Albany and that his i entire team are with him ahd will stick with him as long as he Is able toi Arrange games, which he believes he ean do for the remainder of the season, I ovldence will play the final game of tlie Inter State schedule In' Albany tomorrow night. New Tears will not find the Senatorial bugs without their favorite pastime and a double bill will he staged on that date with a Worces-i ter team which will have Jigger Higgins and HarryTbompson in the lineup.

It must be said, for Mr, Welch that he is recslvlng rather a rough deal from the powers that be In polo. It has cost him considerable- -time and money to get the Infantry hall In Albany ready for polo, -ana as he has always treated both players and magnates not to mention the fans above Is a favorite with all, seems -a shame to drop him Out altogether. Albany has been paying good dividends and has a mighty classy quintet of which Includes Manager Jack Carrigan at canter; Paul Gardner, halfback; Bannon, goal, and Taylor and Pierce, rushes. If polo was run under the rules of organised baseball, as It should he, with a president at the head of affairs, who really did have charge fbe league, Wplch would not be at a dead loss, even If Albany was dropped from the circuit. He could take his franchise to another city or sell his players to a new management In The New Bedford Times prints th following In regard to ths prospects of the Colonial baseball league for 1915 1 Alexander Banwart, better Vnovn 1 1 Al Winn to local fans, seems to ba the bone of coutentlCn In the Colonial league and Judging from all appearances the bone has all the host of th contention to date.

Unless something unforeseen happens, Mr. Banwart will graci ths vice presidents or presidents chair this coming season with almost an entire new of league officials, "owners and managers. Tbs news of the secret meeting in the Colonial league has reached Banwart and It la sold that ha has spent quite a little '41me lately with the power that be, in the Colonial league, ouAiust- who or what those "powers be, tks expert as well as the fan can gueae from now until next spring without having an aasertlon from an authoritative source. Banwart, tt is said, stands ace high with these "powers." It is claimed that the backers of the Colonial league are so Impressed with ble honesty and enthusiasm that they are determined to give him another chance. Considering tha fact that Alexander managed to drop about 123,000 last year in this little circuit they must have even more than confidence in him.

He must be almost a fetish. i At present Mr. Banwart Is In Boston. He Is working there selling stocks and bonds. No doubt trade In theso lines are dull, with all the war scares and depressions.

And If trade is dull it will give Ben a great chance to think of a bunch of new arguments to the whys and wherefores of a 1916 succesa For thinking of new schemes and for trying them out sometimes to the amusement and sometimes to ths disgust of the public, the Colonial league vice president Is in a class by himself. After going over the league circuit the writer finds that there Is much hard work ahead of any man in whipping things Into shape for next season. Ths lease Jjn. the Fall River park has been broken, It is said, by baseball men in the Border City, because certain rentals were not paid on time, ths lease on the Woonsocket park has expired and It will be very hard to get another, and Bteve -Flanagan claims that ths Colonials cannot use bis Brockton park next season unless ths Inducements are very flattering. Taunton stands tn line, the park havlrtg been built over last season by the Colonial league.

It will be possible to get the New Bedford park and the on at Pawtucket. This leaves thres parks which win be hard to secure. 1 The other hlg-question is regards players. It Is claimed that th salary limit last year will be lowered In 1915. Perhaps this Is a false rumor, but if It Is the titles had better supply their poor departments with ways and means to handle Improvident ball tossers.

0 est three-string total, 115, was bowled by E. Gagne. The score: to permit a second deck to be added later; 18,016 will be built bleachers back of first and third bases, admission to which will be SO cents; and 6338 seats will be provided for 25 -cent patrons to the right of centre field. Centre-field limits will be 400 feet from the home plot sad 4(0 feet from the grandstand. There will be practloally no "sun field," the ban of the outfielders.

The grounds will bs laid out 'to face the northeast so that the sun glare win not.be strong in any of the outfield positions. The playing field Is to be sunk 16 feet below street level, after the fashion of the Tele bpwfi. President Gaffney announced that the old home of the Braves at Walpole street where baseball has been played nearly half a century, has been sold to a trust oomeany. rile use to which tt will be put Is unknown. Tbe work of dismantling ths park already has begun.

No action was taken at yesterday's ideating on the subject of determining which players should be given to tne Philadelphia Nationals in exchange for Sherwood Magee. President Gaffney said he would discuss this With Manager Stallings at the latters plantation in Georgia next Sunday. BOYS' CLUB JLEAGUE. Ones scheduled match was pulled eft on ths Boys dub alleys yesterday afternoon and a postponed game between tbs Flunk ers and the Chestnuts took place last night. In the afternoon- the Ruffs met the All-Star.

Jeff Sullivan, of the Wilbur, again shewed great form and helped out the Chestnuts considerably as anohorman. Two matches are scheduled for today, but in all probability one win be postponed. RUFFS VS. ALL-STARS. WELCH SORRY ALBANY IS OUT OF LEAGUE Manager George F.

Welcfc of the Albany club said last night: "I'm eorry that the directors saw fit to drop Albany, ths bast polo city In the country, out of the league. The game has always proven popular here and I did all I could to keep this elty In the league. The long jumps, I suppose, caused the eastern director! to bar Albany. I'm sure that New York State will have a league of its own next season and Albany will be one of tbe cities to have polo, if we are able to carry out our plans." i KBIT MOTOR CAR CO; FAILS. DETROIT, 'Mich, Deo.

1 Pravidsnoe Worcester 1. PROVIDENCE, i Dec. 29. Suther land's brilliant exhibition In tha Worcester goal circle last night at Infantry hall was the shining light in -a magnificent contest filled to the brim and overflowing with polo of the finest kind, 'won by Providence by a score of 4 to 1. The.

visitors corralled a brace of goals, but In their anxiety to win they transgressed the rules sufficiently to forfeit a count on fouls, Hardy offending twice and Fahey onca I Coming back to tbe tall boy on ths last line of defence of the enemy his work was almost marvelous, and hi record of 77 stops Is high-water mark at Infantry hall for a long time. All kinds of drives looked alike to him, slow ones and fast ones, drives, cuts and pokes, high and low and every other old way. He got his anatomy in front of them no matter whence they came; his feet took care ef the drives and dribbles along tbe floor well, as high In tbe air, and his trusty pads nailed the shots Intends for the high places, while bis good stick swept many others out of danger During the first and second periods the Grays let the ball go at him until they almost gave up In despair. So fast did the drives fly at him in the eeoond act that in the first TH minutes of the period he had been called upon for 9 stops before Pence had lifted hie feet from -the floor, and tbe second 16 minutes dosed with the record standing of 11 ter for Pence. It took the best tns locals bad la them' to take away tbe game and tbe contest was far and away ths best of ths season.

Thors was glory enough for all, and as a fitting accompaniment to the fine work of Higgins and Thompson on the rush line wm the splendid defence of Plercp and Du fresne, with Penes holding hta end up far above the .900 mark. Duggan worked like a colony of beavers, and Hart was there as strong as be could be with two men In hie path the entire evening.

White Is depending fiipon his justly celebrated left hook to defeat Shu-grua He possesses other things, too, which would aid him to victory, but Is the port-side wallop that he bknklng all big hopes upon. White Is hopeful of knocking out Shugnfa More than that, he Is confident that he will succeed. His one best Chance of accomplishing this heretofore unaccomplished feat Is by forcibly connecting with Joes Jaw with his fork fist. It was such a punch that knocked Willie Ritchie kicking In that MUwaukee bout before Willie lost his championship. It was also the same blow that dazed Freddie Welsh in the same ring after Freddie took the title from Wfillia Now White la going to try and put it over on Shugrue.

The Chicagoan la spurred to this ambition by the desire td get another match with Welsh. A decisive victory over ths Jersey lad would do more to gain him that bout than anything else he could do. Of that there is nu doubt It would arouse a public demand that would virtually force Welsh to meet him again, whether he would or not If White can reach Shugrue's chin he will coma pretty close to bringing about the result he desires. That left hook of Charlies is a deadly one It is his biggest stock In trade. Jt la of only recent development, tob.

A a featherweight White never showed great -punching power. It was not until he graduated into the lightweight class that he began to win by knockoiffs. In the only two bouts he previously fought here, both of which were with Shugrue, he couldn't hit hard enough to dent a cream puff But that was before he became a 133-poUnder. Now things are different. White has Improved greatly since he last boxed here more than two yeas ago.

He showed this in training yesterday at Jack Cooper's gymnasium. He was a olever boxer aa a feather, and ba has not deteriorated since tn icing on weight. He la fast and shitty on his feet, and with his speed he can deliver a punrh, a combination that is rarely met with. Epeed and a punch do not ofen go together One must usually be sacrificed for the other. White possesses If all Ales were would i be a.

SA President August Herrmann of the Cincinnati baseball club received word yesterday from Roger Bresnahan the Chicago National league team that the latter would be in this city today with the prediction of knockout victory, but the chances of him scoring it are not ss bright as his opponents for th reason that he lacks tbe latters heavy punch. Ehuprue is not a knockerout. That Is, he seldom stops a man with one punch He has a good punch, but it takes more tnan one of them to bring his opponent to earth. He wears his men down sapping them of their stiongsh bv the cumulative effects of his blows and his speed, or that reieon Shugrue is more effective ever a long route than he Is over the JJ-round trail.
