In recent interview with r. A.
Hankinson, originator of the game,
the management was surprised to
learn that the activity OF auto polo has
not been confined entirely to Amerl-
can soil. but that these original teams
played abroad last winter, being the
only American amusement ever to ap-
pear before the imperial household of
japan in exhibition.

ROY LADS MAKE GAME CONTEST

The Lewistown team annexed an
ether victory Friday evening, going
against the Roy nine, until now con-
sidered easily the fastest in the coun-
ty, and after a battle all the way, com
ing in with the needed scores, the
final being 4 to 2. Every inning OF
the game was exciting, but this was
especially true Of the ninth, when the
Roy lads were at bat, with two on
bases and two out. In that critical sit
uation Hopkins, the Roy slugger, sent
out hard fly, which Hanson, the right
fielder, took in grand style, ending
the contest.
Williams, the Roy 'hurler, pitched
good game, tanning IA men, while
the Lewistiwn thrower, Hicks, struck
out nine men, and also proved his
worth in pulling the team out of two
or three tight places, when Roy had
two men on bases and no outs.
BY winning this game the LeWistown
team can now be classed' as one of the
best in the county. The score in de-
tail was as follows:
