INJURY TO HOBART
R0BS POLO OF
EXCITEMENT

An injury to Walter s. Hobart
changed what gave promise of being
an exciting polo match at Burlingame
yesterday into a mere practice game.
The accident occurred early in the sec
ond period. when a player on the op-
posing team hooked Hobart's maIlet as
the latter was trying to place the ball
between the goal posts for his team
hand and his thumb and fOrefinger
were so severely sprained that he was
unable to use that hand.
In order to make up the four men
for his team. Hobart went into the next
period for the purpose of riding OFF
opposing players, and thus supplied the
most enlivening incidents of the game.
He devoted most Of his attention to
John Lawson and they put up what
looked like a wrestling match on
horseback, to the evident amusement
of the spectators on the veranda OF
the polo pavilion.
The first lineup OF the players
showed them In the following posi-
tions:

The game was played on the private
field of Francis J. Carolan at Cross
ways Farm, and attracted the largest
gallery of the season. Both the pavi-
lion and the public stand were filed.
while many spectators viewed the sport
from automobiles along the side lines.
Both players and ponies showed the
lack OF practice caused by the long
continued wet spell, but their spirited
work of yesterday should put them
into form for the tournament work
ahead of them. Lawson played an espe-
cially strong game. scoring six goals.
r. Nj. Tobin scored two, I. A. Driscoll
two and Mr. Carolan one
The most spectacular work of the
day was done in the last period. when
John Lawson donned a red jacket to
equalize the teams. He and CaroIan
had a number of galloping matches
that looked like real racing. Carolan
was up on Arabella. the pinto daugh-
ter of Fusillade, and he was able to
lead the big player OF the opposing
team across the field in two exciting
dashes-
F. A. Bellville, noted English polo
ist, was in the saddle as referee.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
TONoPAH, New, Feb. 1O-It is vir-
tuaIIy a certainty now that the Cans
take place In Tonopah ON March IS,
will not come OF. II Promoter Mike
Riley learns definitely that Cans il
signed for fight with Lewis, the
co1ored champion will not be Britt's
opponent when James Edward appears
In this camp some time, during the
coming spring.
A number of conditions have arisen
to put the Cans Britt match up in the
air." In the first place, Riley processes
great displeasure over Cans action In
having signed with Lewis, and in the
second place Riley will not spend his
money to attract a crowd to a Tonopah
night and let Reno reap the benefit by
bringing off rival attraction. Riley's
attitude is best explained In his own
words:
| know that there are lot Of people running
am quitting on this fight Ny future actions
VIII prove that these same knockers are in
sporting public will nd that out % On sec account
OF Cans signing with Lewis consider that he
aaf mas, dSs,Peratey Sr,Pt esttlsd the match he made
for the lightweight championship of the world,
to take place after the Britt match. The In
ference is that Cans thinks Britt is so easy
that he will surely retain the championship.
Cans viii learn that he can't do business that
way and deal with me. Cans has wired me
that he is not signed with Lewis. That may
be true but I'm from Missouri and will have
TO be shown.
II / find that Cans is not signed with Lewis
| will pull off the match with Britt, but not
in March. / will postpone the date of the
fight for sometime between April and TO- 1
am doing this account of the fight which
is scheduled for Reno dav or so before or
after March II. / will be called on to put up
many thousands of dollars to pull off the Cans
Britt match This fight will attract big
crowd from the coast and also will draw a bunch
from Reno. / fail to why, after l put up
my money, Reno should come In with third
rate match and profit the crowd that my
fight will draw. Reno has arranged for a fight
for about the middle of March, Let her bring
ii off and then will hold my fight in April
If 1 find that Cans is signed with Lewis
l Will let Britt make a match with any good
of his class and give them a purse for
the April date. At any rate. I'll have a fight
here in April, with Britt of the princi-
pals and it remains to be whether not
Joe Cans will be his opponent.
Rileys standing in this country is
such that there is no doubt as to his
making good on his word.
Tonopah will have fight in April,
but who the principals will be is
problematical at this time.
