each period. Accompanying each
team is its own coterie of mechanics,
helpers and a professional rubber to
administer to the ailments of the
players. All these men are thorough
ed skilled in their chosen profession,
and few can qualify into the experts
that the game demands. Auto Polo
has now been in existence not quite
three years. and it is significant to
note that the men under contract
making up the original British and
American teams, are the only COM

AUTO POLO AT THE STATE FAIR.
most Expensive Sport in the World TO Be Demonstrated at Sou1f
Dakota State Fair and Exposition Every Afterneon and Evening.

Polo, known as the most ex
pensive sport In the world, will be
played st the 1915 South Dakota State
Fair and Exposition. Visitors at the
coming State Fair viii see in this
game complete dare-deYiltry and
abandon and a succession OF n
tional thrills from start to finish. In
Auto Polo there is q tremendous in.
sestment In iron. steel and rubber
and costly mechanics, to say nothing
Of the value of human life which is
constantly q risk in this fascinating
sport.
