When it comes to being a live
wire as a manager of polo teams and
an organizer OF polo leagues, Frank
Wilson. secretary Of the Ohio State
league, and purchaser of the Marion
franchise in the organization, is
about the hottest proposition ever.
Wilson Is no four-lusher although
many of his enemies have thus
branded him. If he makes a prom

Frank Wilson sets out to accomplish
anything he will obtain the end de-

Wilson has been In polo many years.
He has organized leagues In The west
and east, has played the game and
knows all of its ins and outs. He
knows all OF the players, too. Not
only does lie know their peculiarities
but he Is onto all of their tricks,
, and seldom will one OF them attempt
anything when under the manage
ment of Wilson for The, as they will
all tell YOU, knows what they are
going to do before they know them
selves.
When the Ohio State league was
organized, Wilson informed the mag
mates OF the circuit he intended to
secure. Play was started without
Marion or Lancaster. These two cit

Cities took the Lancaster franchise.
Then Marion gave up the ghost. New

where they failerd in doing the right

they were aslling. gIe begged with
them to spend more money and as
sured them II would be returned two

expenditure of probably $500 was
voted down and as a. result about
$1,000 was thrown into the game by
the directors subsequently and the
