POWER COMPANY OFFICIAL
SAYS AMERICAN CAPTAIN
HAS EXPENDED $4,000 FOR
ES-BRITISHERS VISITED
BIRMINGHAM

While Birmingham may never become
a center of polo. in view of the firm mold
which baseball has on the public. there
is one citizen of Birmingham who is deep
ly interested In the sport. and who knows
the greatest exponents of the game. That
citizen is NJ. Webb Offutt, assistant to the
managing director of the Alabama Inter
state Power company.
That two of the members of the Brit
ish team, Capt. Leslie ST. George Cheane.
and Capt. A. Noel Edwards, have visited
Birmingham, was a hit of information
given by Mr.. Offutt That Harry Payne
Whitney, captain of the American team,
has expended a sum approxmating $780,
600 in an effort to secure the best POLO
ponies in the world, was another state
ment
whitney is an IDEAL captain" stated
Mr.. Onutt, "and his players are deeply
attached to him. lie is an ardent lover
of polo, and has expended something like
600 in his desire to secure for America
the finest ponies in the world. He lad
scouts everywhere searching for polo
ponies. But the new ones were no better
than the old and as a matter of fact, the
old were not supplarted.
MIR. Whitneys pony is perhaps the
most famous of all polo ponies lie pays
the game, knows by intuition and exper-
ience just what to do in all emergencies.

this long hit Pratt followed with a

Swindell became wild in the fourth in

on the morning before the afternoon
of the first game, an angry fan was
severe in his abuse of the Barons.
Another follower of the game, who
was present. calmly said:
'.Oh, when the Barons win two from
Mobile. you will be saying that Mobile
is absolutely worthless"
Fan No rejoined-"You bet l will.
If Mobile loses two to Birmingham,
the Gulls will deserve to settle on the
bottom!'
Strange how things work them

The Barons split in New Orleans

all corners.
When the Barons turned their faces
