OF THEM TO be PLAYED EACH
WEEK..

Plans for the organization of the
semi-professional polo league will be
completed tomorrow at a meeting of
the representatives OF the seven pro-
posed towns at New Castle. Who will
represent this city has not been de-
termined upon, but whoever does will
demand that for this season the i'm
portation of stars will not be made
by any team. but that the teams be
composed of players living In or near
the town which they represent. This
is to be advanced for two reasons.
One, aud the most important, to edu-
cate the people to professional polo
again. and the second to keep expenses
at a minimum. The personnel of the
local lineup has not been determined
but will include players of the best
ability In the city league
At the meeting tomorrow a schedule
OF twenty tour games for each team
or two games . week, one at home and
the other abroad will probably be
drafted. Up to date the proposed
teams include Richmond. New Castle

managers.
From reports made by local parties
who have participated in or seen

belt, these towns are represented by
former Ohio league players. It will be
insisted ON by the local managers that
the other towns be represented by
semi-professional players.
