Tie man III question is Phil ia
son, last season with the TT. Wayne
champions Of the Central League.
Jason has parted company with
the Fl. Wayne management because
Of a difficulty over the kind of roll
ers he wears on his skates and has
jumped the team. Ft. Wayne does
not care to take him back after the
trouble, and is willing to dispose of
him.
Jason led the Central League rush

considered one of the best cover

The talk OF Cocgeshall being re

League managers OH the popular

doubt Of his landing a good berth

The polo wheel is spinning. With
one week of history the fourth sea-
son Of the sport in the west is we'll
under way, and the gods of the re-
vors over the Western league, caus-
ing objections and satisfaction alike.
A surprise Or two marked the first
weeks progress Of the sport. The
standing column presents by no
means its appearance cf last spring
Elwood looks good at the top, for the
gray uniformed players promise to
take a very active part in polo at
fairs. Marion, it was expected,
would be III the first division, also
that indianapolis would be in the
lower class. Richmond and Muncie
were expected to start off with fly
ing colors The Quakers did SO,
while the Farrellites contented them
selves with furnishing two pretty ex-
hibitions Of the sport and taking the
short end Of the scores-until' they
met the .Quakers. Anderson has
come up to expectations and fans in
that city are delighted 800
Undoubtedly the most startling
surprise and the least expected dem
onstration of the weeks happenings
in polodom was the Muneie victory
over the champions on their own
floor. after Muncie was we'll drubbed
by Marion and Anderson. When it
is considered, however, that the
Quaker organization was the easiest
in the league, for the Fa1relliets to
contend with during last season and
the lineup of both organizations is
the same, with Muncie s weak point
strengthened, together with the fact
that after three defeats the wearers
of the purple were getting together
on weak points. the to 3 score
seems, but natural, Muncie was de-
ternlined 80 win ami did so, showing
a strength of organization which had
not yet been demonstrated during
the week. -Muncie Star -5'+-~
