LOCAL RUSHERS
IN 0LDEN DAYS

OF the many floral offerings accord
ed by the old-time polo fans of today
to the championship Richmond five
back in the balmy days Of '02, ''O3 and
'O4, little emphasis has ever been
placed on the fact that the real stars
of the team at that time were three
Richmond players, men who are at
the present time living in the city.
Official records of the Western
league show that key kid" Haugh-
ton, the same individual who was kid
ded when he appeared here with the
Indianapolis crew recently, was the
star goal getter of the Richmond PEN
nant winning club at that time.
George Cunningham, Jr., who ref
erees games at the Coliseum at the
present time, lead the rushes of the
league. Clarence Jessup, another son
of Richmond, led the goal tends of the
circuit
Following is the record of the Rich

History OF the game of roller polo
the sport so popular in Richmond
dates back to 1882 when such old tim.
ers as Mace Byers, John Williams,
James Martin, Charley Sell, Jude Gil
christ. Alva Henley, Cal Lankert,
Charles Border, Oscar Williams and
others formed the first representative
Quaker crew.
The polo craze hit Richmond in the
fall OF the year 1SS2-just thirty-four
years ago. There were two skating
Kinks at that time. The Park rink,
located at Tenth and Main on the site
now occupied by the Murray theatre
building was perhaps the first skating
rink. The old Henley rink was built
about this time. Both Kinks were rep
resented by their respective teams
and eacl, team had it's contingent of
hackers.
Muncie Proves Strong.
And Richmond was not the only city
interested in the sport at that time.
Muncie, a rival of Richmond, was rep
resented by team the calibre OF the
Quaker crew Racine and GAINESVILLE,
Wisconsin teams, as we'll as Galesburg,
Sidney, Greenville and Dayton, o., had
teams. Anderson and Indianapolis be-
came interested i'm the sport shortly
afterwards.
In those days as well as now NJ. G..
Henley was one of the moving spirits
Of the game. Mr.. Henley was instru-
mental in the organization of the old
Richmond "Coppock" team one of the
best aggregations that ever represent
ed Richmond. Roscoe Stevens, Bill
Patterson, Jeff Van Allen, Clyde and
Roy Alexander formed the personnel
OF that team.
An outstanding feature of the polo
race in the Middle West was the
championship series OF games between
Racine, Muncie and Richmond-cities
that by the way met in a similar series
n month ago. After some Of the best
polo ever seen in the state Muncie
emerged victor with the Quakers
trailing a fair second. Another series
engaged in by Cincinnati Sidney,

What the highway problem of the

probable that with the use of more au-
tomobiles year by year that even the
macadam roads will not stand the con
slant wear, especially in the cold wealth
err months, when chains are used on
the tires. Connecticut has already be-
gun the construction of concrete roads
in 30 cities and towns. The first cost
is expensive, about $4,000 a mile for
highways Is feet wide. The best fea-
ture of the concrete roads is that they
endure without extensive repairs The
reports show that in the third wear
they are costing the state for repairs
just $3.50 cents per mile. Connecticut
has about 10000 miles Of highways. of
which about 1000 miles have been i'm
proved during the past twenty-one years
at a cost approximating $l4 ,000, 900.
The legislature which sat in 1915 made
no appropriation for highway improve
ments but granted half million for
trunk line maintenance and about a
quarter of Il million more for state road
repairs. The receipts from automobile
licenses, which amounted to three-quar-
tiers of a million in 1915, and will prob
ably exceed q million this year. are
also applied to the maintenance of the
improved highways. This gives the
commissioner the means with which to
rebuild roads that have proved made
quate to the wear and tear of automo-
bile traffic, but not for undertaking
improvements on new lines.

Rutland News.

The commission of bill revisers. two
OF Vermont 5 best lawyers, Collins NJ.
Graves of Bennington and Thomas C.
Cheney of Morrisville, are now SITTING
at Montpelier, according to law. There
IS no reason why this commission
should not be the source of a great deal
OF efficiency. The conception is right.
If members-elect of the general as
7embly meeting next month will make
use of this commission, as it is intend
ed, much time will be gained by hav.
ing bills properly revised and sifted
so as to be in shape for the legislators
TO consider early III the session. The
fact that Mr.. Cheney has had long ser
wee as legislator, being one of the
best speakers of the house of repre
'entatIVes the state has ever had is
sufficient guaranty of the class of work
ne and his associate are in a position
to do.
1t largely rests now with the lecis-
iators themselves, and others who con.
template measures to frame them at an
carl y date and place them in the hands
OF these revisers so that the work of the
legislature may be expedited and its
session shortened.
