November 6, the polo season opens
November ii and Bone, Doherty and
Cunningham ST., still without the
fold. Such is the polo situation in
Richmond eight days before the
championship race begins. lester-
day morning Secretary Gaar of the
Richmond Athletic Association was
asked if the season would open with
three amateurs and two professions
ais in the local lineup lit most
certainly will not replied Mr..
Gaar,' We will close the doors of
the Coliseum first. We will either
have the PLAYERS that won the cham
pionship last season or none at ali.
Why If we presented an amateur
lineup to the patrons OF the game
in this city the attendance on the
opening night would be about six
teen. We have signed the salary
limit agreement and will keep our
pledges but il Durbin and others
force us to play without our stars
we will close the rink.
Friday Tom Fisher, OF Anderson,
one of the stock holders in the AM
derson polo team and a pitcher ON
the staff of the Boston Nationals,
was in the city en- route TO Cincin-
natl. With him was the old Rich
mond favorite. Chauneey Fisher who
was the rush on the Henley team
several years ago. Tom Fisher did
not call on Mr.. Gaar while IN the
city and denied that he was here on
polo business claiming to have miss
ed connections. for Cincinnati and
being obliged to lay over. Mr.. Gaar
was greatly disappointed that he did
not get to see either Of the Fishers
and incidentally remarked that lie
desired To have a chat with Tom
because he was the only one of the
gas belt polo men who seemed 10
have any sense Of fair play and bus
mess.
Chauncey as of old He has forsa-
ken the life of a professional ath-
lete and the past season he followed
the races through the middle west in
the capacity of bookmaker and
Judging from exterior appearances
the racing game has done the right
thing by the big fellow. The Fishers
mission to Cincinnati is Of private
nature.
Secretary Gaar received register
ed letter yesterday morning from
Secretary Durbin announcing that a
league meeting had been called to
meet at Anderson next Wednesday.
The polo guide will be adopted and
several by laws will be ratified and
arrangements for the opening Of the
season discussed.

1t is a beautiful and profitable Gus
tom, this which we celebrate as the
cold sun shines on each successive
first of January. There are seventy
hiilocks in the short journey of human

future and with kindly greeting wish

brighter for 1t. for heart goes out
to heart. and universal sympathy lifts
Us for a time to q higher level. Earth
