LEAGUE ooes TO THE WALL
Managers Found Patronage of Roller Polo
Was Disappointing.

The roller polo league that started
team in Davenport about week
ago and promised to have one in Rock
Island shortly, is no more. Saturday
afternoon the word went out that
there would be no more games and
there was a grand rush in Davenport
on the part of the creditors to get
hold Of the assets of the club of that
city. The league was plainly not
heavily financed at the start and poor
patronage incidental to the introduc-
ton of a new form of sport did its
work in short order. So Rock Island
will hardly see the game played this
season unless it be on the ice by anna
teurs. One encouragement that went
far to the undoing of the polo league
was the objection of the owners of
the halls which were leased by the
managers of the various teams 1t
was found that the skates and clubs
of the players played havoc with the
floors. rendering them unfit for dane
ing, and in some cases it was insisted
that new floors be put down.
