game at Tomlinson Hall between Indianap-
olisolis and Richmond, which was won by
indianapolis by a score of IL to 4, demon
strated that the sport will be popular one
in indianapolis. There was more enthusi-
asm displayed than at any previous game.
1t appears that last nights game was the
one to decide whether or not a new stock
company should be organized to control
the polo games in this city. The men who
are to become interested in the scheme were
present at the game and decided to reor
ganiZe at once and secure new location
where the games can be played.

by "A. B. Cohen, II. b. Hornaday and a
Muncie man. c. G. Fisher. Charles b. Som
mers and one or two other men will become
interested in the sport, and, together with
control the game in this hi city. Mr. Fisher
stated last night that his lease on the
Cyclorama building stipulates that ninety
compelled to move. He says he has re-
ceived no notice to vacate the building and
is now willing to suitcase to the polo club.
1t is claimed the building will be fitted up at
once with amDhitheater seats and decora-
tionS so that games can be played there in
side OF three, and possibly two weeks. The
company desires to use the Cyciorama for
about ninety days and expects TO erect a
building during the summer where games
can be played next season.
