The excitement was intense. The

That was wise trick played on the
HOLSTERS at last Monday nights league
meeting. During all the trouble the
various managers were having, 1t was
freely charged that the source of the
difficulty existed in Ogden. That fact
soon became patent to everybody. The
HOLSTERS were anxious to see Lagoon
and Logan fired out OF the league, then
Ogden and Salt Lake strengthen their
teams with the best men in the two
ousted teams and play Saturday and
Sunday baseball at Salt Lake and Og-
den. This scheme did not take kindly
with the local magnates, but Ogden
thought to foce them into the deal by
killing interest In the sport at Logan
and Lagoon. They fired their best men
and took in players who could not even
be lassed asfgood amateurs, went to
Logan and played town ball and
laughed in glee at the disgust exhibited
by the fans Of that place. An attempt
was made TO get Logan TO go In with
Ogden and withdraw. The same effort
was made with the Lagoon team But
somebody else held the winning hand.
A meeting was called for last Monday
night at which Ogden was to have
chance to disprove the charges against
the team The club was not repre-
scented. The managers of the three
teams present-2alt Lake, Lagoon and
Logan-unanlmously voted to expel the
Ogden club. IL was done and there was
no help for the HOLSTERS. The man.
ayers then quietly agreed to withdraw

The Very Latest Addition to the
Realm of Sport

According to adyicos from Boston

Crane Jr., OF the Dedham Polo club, has
demonstrated that "auto-polo' Is a pos-
| sibillty Mr. Crane Is clever all.

usefulness for automobiles.
The automobile variety Of polo IS not

as an unlimited number Of machines
would be required If there was any rid
ing of attempted.
Mr. Crane owns a big touring ma
chine which runs under his manage
ment with the agility OF a well trained
pony No machine can stop quicker
and make more artistic turns. At Kar-
istein yesterday afternoon he gave an
exhibition OF his skill In running the
machine with one hand and making
pretty series Of strokes with q polo NAL
let, knocking the ball the length Of the
field as cleyerly as he could from q polo
pony.
At the end Of his run Mr.. Crane
raped a back handler, and then in
jlnfy made a dazzling turn at speed with
his automobile, and was on the ball
again for run to the other end Of the
field
Mr. Crane also successfully tried some
fancy shots be tween the wheels Of his
machine, and altogether gave a very re-
markable performance.
There was one drawback, however,
regarding the strokes which may be
used by a chauffeur. on a touring ma
chine Il Is impossible TO make near side
strokes but this might be accomplished
on a run-about,
OF course, It takes considerable skill
to hit a bail from the drivers seat on
an automobile as the player must reach
out over the wheel and at the say
time maintain control Of the machine,
But Mr. Crane has the trick down to
perfection, and never missed a stroke

men covered brakeman with their rifles,

and one of the bandits shot him in the
