Moore of Lowell, president of the American roller polo league, has been looking Springfield over and has come fo the that this city is ripe to 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 a playing surface. Moore has not combed the city for a playing site, as his visit was mere- 1y to get the public feeling toward the game. He is satistied 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 supposed to be the star of the Eastern league, and the Gilants gaye up a pretty good amount for him considering present minor league val- ues. When Cincinnati was looking for a substitute infielder recently the Reds first selected Cooney, but the price was too high. Cincinnati then purchased Schreiber, the former Boston player. Cooney is a right handed hitter, and among the hardest hitters in the llast- ern league. He comes of a real base- ball family, as his father was Jimmy Cooney, who played shortstop on An- son’s old Chicaga Colts.
