HARTMAN DELIGHTED
WITH POLO CONTEST
nament-Tries to Induce Players
to Make Arrangements
for Another Match

RIVERSIDE, March 24.-Robert Lee
Bettner, the oldtime polo player of
Riverside, is home from Coronado,
where he attended the tournament. He
brings back a hitherto unpublished
story of e. H. Harriman's enthusiasm
for polo.
1t appears that Hartman and Miss
Hartman attended the concluding
game of the international tournament
at Coronado Monday afternoon, and
the railroad magnate took the liveliest
possible interest in the play of both
the Ranelagh and Burlingame teams.
Hartman is an excellent judge of
horseflesh, and the performance of the
highly trained polo ponies delighted
him immensely. His daughter took
photographs of several of the ponies
and their mounts while engaged in
scrimmage play. The Harrimans were
obliged to leave before the conclusion
of the game and Mr.. Hartman asked
that the final score be wired him at
Oceanside, which was done. On ar
irving at Los Angeles Hartman still
had the polo microbe in his system, and
sent the following telegram to the
captain Of the Burlingame team:
"Los Angeles, March %, 1909.
"Walter S. Hobart,
Coronado, Cal.
will we have opportunity to see any
more polo, and can l do anything to
induce a repetition of todays match,
say at Burlingame, on Thursday or
Friday? If so, let me in. We are much
interested and glad it was so close a
game and that you won. Answer.
