REFORM m MEXICO

Il is not probable that conditions
in sonora are as bad as they are be
ing painted. Most OF the trouble is
among small bands of dissatisfied
troops, especially in the most north

that the Maderistas are more active
in Sorora than in any ether state. and
that they have iuntas as reported.

The New York Sun has the following
to say about auto polo. which was
played in Madison Square Garden this
year:
Auto polo. a brand new game, was
offered to the public last evening at
the Garden. The general public accept
ed the opportunity to criticise this late
that the public will make it a point to
zee at least one or more Of the seven
teen contests which are to take place
at the Garden, as the auto polo habit
seems to grow on one. The four young
men who play the game reminded you
of that sort OF young man who doesn't
regard the day as complete unless he
has parachuted OF the Flatiron. The
playing Is clever, the handling of the
cars marvellous and the unlimited
amount of nerve displayed by the regu-
lar teams is undisputed. Auto polo is
q great game and our gore loving pub
lie is deeply indebted to the originatora
for this sensational form of amusement.

and IA at Fair Grounds.

The game Of auto polo. which will
be played in Topeka on Dec. IL, 13
and II of this year. is the most ex-
citing Of all sports, according to re-
ports received from all parts of the
country where the game has been
played. The contests to be played in
Topeka between the English and
American teams on the. three dates
promise to be thrilling to Topekans.

Gated at De Soto, Kan. Ralph A.
HankinsOn is general manager of the
company and is in charge of all Of
the games played. He is the author
of q rule book for this form Of polo.
The game is played on a field $50
feet long and $50 feet wide. Two goal
posts are placed at the ends of the
field and the object in the game is to
ball, regulation size, is 10 inches in
diameter and is made of heavy leath-
er encasing a large rubber sphere.
The teams are composed of two men,
one the driver, whose difficult art is
to manage the auto and keep it from
overturning; the other, the mallet-
man, who drives the ball. The game
is divided into five periods Of ten min
utes each. but In the event of q tie
game at the end of the fifth period,
the game continues until one side
scores again.
The rule book, speaking Of the
points OF the game says: Each and
every goal which may be scored by
the team counts one point for the
team scoring the goal. Scoring the
goal means driving the ball directly
between the opponents goal posts at
the end of the field, by either team.
The ball is first placed in the center
of the field, directly in line with the
two goals. and at the given signal
from the referee, both cars rush for
ward in an attempt to secure the first
crack at the ball. In the event that
the ball is malleted out of bounds the
referee shall place the ball in the
field, first lining the cars In their re-
spective positions, 15 feet apart, each
car headed for the goal through
which the players are desirous Of
making their points. A slight advan-
tage may be accorded the team which
may be nearest the goal which they
may be defending. according to where
the ball may be driven outside the
boundary lines. Immediately when
the ball touched the ground it is in
play and both teams are at liberty to
make a rush for the ball.
The malletmen are not allowed to
leave the car when hitting at the ball
and there is a heavy penalty inflicted
II such a foul should be made. The
game is said to be extremely hazard
