Featured by the appearance Of Ikey
Haughton and Jimmy O'Metz's new
shin guards, the polo clash at the Col
iseum last night was rouSlng cele
bration for the Quakers, but a marked
disappointment for the Indianapolis
visitors, who we're Obliged to submit
TO 7-to1 humping at the hands CT
Sox Quigley and his efficient force oil
Richmond polo employees.
One thousand of the old guard--a
sizeable attendance considering the
facts nvolved-turned out to see the
Quakers entertain key Haughton and
his four Capital City companions.
And while they were expecting to wit
ness the performance of the old Rich
mond star, they were not set for the
feature produced by Jimmy O'Metz,
Quaker pen custodian, who sprung
new pair of board fences" last eve.
From the local angle it was great
game. Ted Lewis, veteran of ye olden
days, admitted after the conflict that
somehow or other his Indians "just
couldn't get the old pill past Jimmy
OMetz and his new set of armor."
Not that they didn't try. Twenty
nine solid swipes directed at the goald
ship O'Metz missed by wide margins.
And then after Jimmy apparently was
to complete the initiation of those new
shin pads with a no-score game, along
came Father Lewis with that freak
hook that would have made OMetzs
thirteth stop. The lucky hook of the
sphere copied out of the air directly
to the fore Of the Quaker pen was all
that spoiled the stellar performance
of OMetz and those new fences.
The game opened slow with both
teams showing the effect of the balmy
spring weather of the last few days
The feature stuff began to crop out
in the second period. DR.. Heber Hall
Harold was beginning to get interest
ed With the game practically half
gone and the Quakers but one goal in
the lead, things didn't look half bad
to the aged generalssimo of the in
vading crew.
"Oh. wouldn't Mr. Harold make a
good golf player. facetiously remark
ed fair one, as Dr. II. II. II. teed and
drove to the gallery railing.
And then. following a showing match
in the southwest corner, and an ex-
hibition of aesthetic dancing by key
Haughton in the middle of the floor,
Richmond settled down and played
polo.
