RICHMOND LOOKS GOOD

Everything is ready for the refer.
ee's whistle to sound the opening Of
the polo season in the Western Lea
que tonight. The players strike is a
thing of the past and the only play
ers now out Of the fold are Cunning
ham, Jr., of Richmond, Murphy OF
Elwood, McGilvary and Bannon OF
INDIANAPOLIS of whom refuse to
stand for pared off salaries on the
Durbin-Cohen style.
The Quakers will play their first
game at Anderson and the fans Will
not be greatly disappointed II they
lose the contest as Richmond Will
take the floor that night with only
one days practice while the Ander-
son outfit has been in training for
over week. The Fovy Five OF Ma
rion will meet Petty's Oil Workers
at Muncie this evening and
Cohen's Children Of Israel will try
to take a fall out Of Grandpa Rob
erts' five in the Deserted Village

Western League looks to be about to
embark on as prosperous season as
the organization has had it its exls-
tence. SO far the local "bugs' are
concerned the sooner Wednesday
night comes along the. better pleased
they will be. An immense crowd IS
expected to greet last years cham
pions on their opening game IN this
city with Joe Fox's Marion quin-

The entrants for the Western Polo
League championship handicap are
narading to the post. and on next
Monday night the barrier will snap.
If the teams get away to a good
start it will be a surprise.
Some Of the teams are in good
shape, in fact the most of them are.
and are fit to begin PLAYING at afast
clip. but others, of which sad to
state the indianapolis team is one,
are in ANYTHING but promising form.
The Indianapolis team will start
on three legs-figr,rativelv Speaking
of course-and will thank its lucky
consultations if it is able to stick
within hailing distance Of the rest
! of the crowd for the first couple OF
weeks.
With Cogceshall, O'Hara and Hal
per on deck-t the last named two
are already here, and Cogseshall is
expected to arrive today-the de-
Tense will put no a pretty good front
but the offense is an unknown guam

Pierce will not be here for two
weeks vet. However. he recommend
ed rusher to the INDIANAPOLIS man
aeement. who has been stoned ant
who will arrive today with Coooe
shall. The new corner is Frank Dial
ton. whom Pierce thinks conner ant
a valuable find.
In the onenine game at Elwoo6
next Mondav night the indianapolis
rnsh line viii probably consist o.
Dalton and Whinnle, the latter beins
borrowed from Fl WAYNE to heir
ont in pinch. It is possible tha
Turner NAV be here in time for tn.

instead of Whiople. Sylvia. the
