SEALEY IS NO MORE
The Great Polo Player
Buried Yesterday.
DIED FROM PNEUMONIA.
How He Surprised the Audience at
His First Appearance Here.
"Sealey will Dlay. -

"Sealey will play"
These used To be the words that would
fill the Skating Rink when polo was in its
palmy days.
But he will not play any more. The
great polo player is dead. lie died last
Thursday from pneumonia and was buried
from Natick, Mass, yesterday.
He was known throughout New England
as the greatest polo player In existence.
lie played with the Walthams when polo
was in its infancy, and later was seen on
the surface in this city. Polo was craze,
and the Pawtucket audience was wild
over the game.
From scrub team of local players the
team was changed by infusing new blood
into IL i'm the crack professional team
of the country. 'Sealey was one OF the first
men that was added to the team. Many
OF the lovers OF the game will remember
the first night Sealoy made his appearance.
The team was all on the floor, when a
big, looking fellow OF big proper
tions, with white hair combed straight,
and looking for all the world like an over
grown ,schoolboy, rolled on to the sur
face. His jersey uniform conformed to
his shape as closely as did his natural
covering.
He took few steps OH the rollers, and
then came TO a standstill by placing his
knocked knees together and bracing him
SELF The audience didn't rave over such
an aspect. As member OF the Paris
team, he had been cracked up, but he did
not look as though he deserved much
praise.
The game opened and the audience re-
ceived quite revelation. Such playing
they had never before seen. He played
the game himself, taking the ball wher-
ever and whenever he liked. He juggled
it with his stick, and this was an inno-
vation.
He caught the crowd, and from that
night he was known as "Jimmic" by
every one. He carried the team on to
victory time and time again, and with
Cotter, made the best pair OF rushers ever
seen.
Two years ago, while playing with the
Ilartfords, he was struck In the eye by
Dunning's stick and lost the use Of it. II
was not his playing that won for him so
many friends; 1t was his character.
lie was far above the professional ath.
lste, being n gentleman possessed with a
remarkably even temper, a generous dis
position and II kind and feeling heart. He
was buried at Longwood, and many Of his
old associates attended the services TO pay
their last tribute to a true friend.

that IL was a case Of accidental drowning
