GAMES TONIGHT.
Mansfield at GAINESVILLE.
Coshocton at Ashland.

Bobby Quinn's polo team, REIN
forced by two new players, worked in
wonderful style at the local rink last
might, defeating Ashland in the fast
est game of the season by score of
three to two and pulling Ashland out
OF first place in the Ohio State league.
There was good crowd on hand to see
the game and from the sound of the
gong in the first period until end or
the third period. excitement was at
the highest pitch and 1t seemed as
though everyone in the crowd had
gone mad.
For this game Quinn moved Shaw
up to the first rush in Stampers
Iplace. Freeman, a new player Sc
cured from the National polo league,
played second rush and Kenworthy,
who has played half back, worked at
center in place of Sipe. Perry. the
Coshocton star, who was secured in
exchange for Sipe. played half back
and Bruck guarded the cage.
Although it was the first time the
five men had worked together, their
playing last night gave no indication
that such was fact. The team play
of the Marion aggregation was almost
perfect and only the great work of
'OMetz in the goal prevented Ma
rion from running UP big score.
Shaw played his usual brilliant
game and Freeman worked himself
into the hearts of the bugs by playing
his position in great style and by
working in complete harmony with
Shaw.
Kenworthy showed up better at CEN
ter than he did at half back and aided
the rushers in getting the ball into the
Ashland cage. Perry at half back
played great game, his work being
more or less of revelation to the
spectators. Time and again he smoth-
cred the drives of the visitors and
materially assisting Bruck in the Ma
rion defense. Bruck played his usual
good game in the goal
The first period was fast and fur
ious from start to finish. Both teams
displayed pretty team work through
out the fifteen minutes but neither
was able to cage the ball.
IFletchet for ashland drove the
first goal of the game, after seven
minutes and ten seconds of play in
the second period and Freeman tied
the score with a pretty goal two
minutes and fifty seconds later. With
three minutes to play in the period
Fahner put Ashland in the lead by
caging the rubber.
Marion showed its prettiest work
In the last period which was even
harder fought than were the first
two. Working like lightning, Shaw
Gagged the rubber after fifty seconds
Iof play in the last period tieing the
score and setting the crowd wild.
Five minutes and ten seconds later
Freeman hooked another one in and
Marion had the game sewed up.
With the present line up Quinn may
be expected TO do some things dur
ing the next few weeks.
On Thursday night Mansfield will
be the attraction at the local rink
and a packed house should be on
hand to see the reorganized Marion
team play. Quinn believes that he
has the right bunch together now
but If time proves otherwise he
states that he Will spare no ex-
pense in getting the best players in
the country to represent Marion.
