Labor day afternoon a game will be
the event at the local 'drome.
The eighteen men OF the original
auto polo team headed by the invent
or OF the game. X. A. Hankinson, ar
rived in Detroit from Cleveland, Tues
day morning, and preparations for
the sport are being made at the mo-
tordrome, where a strong wire fence
strong enough TO hold the cars from
striking the spectators, is being erect
ed around an enclosure $50 feet in
length and l40 feet in width Fifty
electric lights are being strung over
the field, and as each Is OF 500 can
die power, the field Will be as light
as day.
In these contests, covering twelve
meets. the American and English
teams will compete for a purse Gov
ering all OF the games. Each team
consists OF two drivers and two mai
let men, and there are reserve drivers
and mallet men, for auto polo sends
men to the hospitals right along, ana
IL also sends cars to the repair shop
In great number, for Shis party car
ries no less than twelve cars, just
so II may be possible to have the two
used in the game in action at all
times.
From the start OF one OF these
games there Is a whirlwind, and when
man is injured his place is taken
by another: when car Is broken by
one of those frequent turn-overs, or
by collisions, such as occur regularly
as the two opposing teams rush for
the ball For In this game but two
cars may be on the field at the same
time, and 30 lively do these cars get
around that there Is room for but
the one other which carries the ref
cree, who must himself be a dodger
per excellence TO keep out OF trouble.
Auto polo Is rightfully described as
a game for no sane person to indulge
in Mollycoddles would not like It,
couldn't play 1t II they tried, and had
best not witness a game unless they
are proof against heart attacks ana
nervous prostration. Nothing that
has been seen In this country has
ever compared with the scientific ma
neuvering and real danger OF this
most sensational sport of the age.
