TRI.STATE POLO
GAME TONIGHT
Baltimore and Wilmington to
Meet Here in Another
Championship Game

Eleventh Street Rink is likely to
have the largest crowd in the history
of this popular resort for amateur
sports on the occasion Of the contest
between the crack Baltimore team and
the local defenders in the 1ri-State
championship game tonight. The
team from Baltimore is practically the
NJ. A. c. team, including as It does,
the three strongest and most active
men of the champion team of the
world. Silly Whitehurst (M. A. c.,
Nailor (I. A. c., Griffin CM. A. c..
Logan CB. & o. Philbin (Walbrook).
The only two members not on the
team from the ranks of the NJ. A. c.
are the two older Whitehurst brothers,
who have retired from the game. Since
the victory of the Wilmington team
over the Atlantic City five, which had
only been beaten by a score Of 3 to c
by this same strong Baltimore FIVE
on the floor of the later team, VIII
mington enthusiasm has taken a great
jump. 1t must be admitted that the
local fans were somewhat disheartened
when the picked team of last Tuesday
faced the visitors. for it was the gem
tIthl IDtlltl lildl Nitlt was ctAOAo1+
material on the side line. Manager
Cloward had previously announced
eleven members to compose the local
team and that he intended that each
man should be given a trial in the
Interstate series and it was on the
line OF this policy that none OF those
lplaying the first game at Atlantic City
should be used in the second game ex-
lcepting Coward, who is captain of the
Wilmington team. Mr.. Cloward has
always had a desire to see Coward
and Chandler work in double harness
and evey one is pelased with the re-
suit. The action relative to the mem-
bers Of the first team was taken after
the game and had no bearing on the
selection of the team for the second
game.
Mr.. Beatty. who was badly injured,
IS out OF bed and it is reported that
he hopes to be able to play again some
time next week and It is needless to
say that no player has made more
friends by his fair and clean play and
gentlemanly department than Mickey
Beatty. and with three such first
bushes as Chandler. Beatty Coward,
Wilmington win no doubt occupy a
position OF honor at the close OF the
series. The preliminary game win be-
gin at $50 sharp. There viii be no
skating at the rink until Saturday af-
ternoon and evening.

Not the man who makes ideals life business is the greatest, but he who in the strife and zest of existence can do his brave share of The worlds work and see some mighty parport over topping all.

 On the other hand, MT. Davis be- lieved that if the state remained in the Union 1t must obey the laws of Con- gress that withstood the test of the supreme court. He devotedly loved the Union, but he loved justice more and damned to eternal flames be the man who does not-and thus when this grand man saw northern states-Wis- consin was one of them-defy, re- pudate, nullify acts of Congress, he believed it was time to withdraw from the partnership-hen ence secession.

Why? because six men, naked, starved, without medi- cine, did not succeed in whipping 2S men, the best clothed, the best fed and the best equipped army the world had then seen.

 It is not likely that the navy will be hopelessy demoralized or in any par tcular injured by reason of the image of Jefferson Davis on the silver service of a battleship If that were so the navy Is not worth its keep.

 Wolford's platform was absolute, com plete and universal amnesty for every man, woman and child at the south, and the instant readmission of every southern state into the union upon terms of exact equality with every other state. How fervent was his heart and how eloquent his tongue in that behalfl Where is the man now out of the asylum for lunatics or the penitentary for malefactors who does not know that his were words of inspiration at that time?
 Wolfords competitor was Silas Adams, the last colonel of that same First Ken lucky and Basil Duke will tell you some fine anecdotes of rencounters between Morgans men and Wolford's cavalry in those days of red battle.

 For instance, when our fathers made this government of ours, Virginia and New York expressly and specifically re- served the right to withdraw from the confederacy when national affairs were conducted on terms that they disap- proved. That was a covenant, solemn ly entered upon and a doctrine unchal- lenged the first three decades of our national existence.

Had the north looked on Davis with the same eyes with which 1t viewed Lee, the whole thing would have been composed many years sooner.
 Another suggestion which, 1t Is possible, one loyal to the flag may make-Jefferson Davis in the forefront of bloody battle saved our American army from utter an- initiation by a brutal foreign foe, and there shed his blood for the flag of our country.

Wolford spoke first and 1t was made manifest that the audience was not in sympathy with him and when Adams rose to reply he was given an ovation.
