Glenn Carr Announces Defin-
lite Arrangements for Re-
vival of Sport Here.

At last Richmond roller polo fans
viii get their beloved sport, barring
all accidents. Glenn Carr announced
Friday that it was practically certain
that the polo players would be homo
by the middle of April and that polo
could be started here about April 81.
At present the old Indiana league
players are finishing their eastern
season.
Richmond polo fans are every day
expressing themselves as being ready
to see the oldtime sport, and will
welcome a revival even as late as the
last days of April. Therefore, Glen
Carr. representing Richmond, is PLAN
ming to place a representative team
here, and Muncie will be the other
town that will back a roller polo team.
Newcastle will not attempt to have
team, according to the latest report.
Several Games of Polo
Both Muncie and Richmond will be
able TO play several games before it
lf5ecomes too warm for the season to
Fciose entirely. Games will be SEIZED
uled every evening at either Richmond
or Muncie, and few games will be-
played by the two teams at Newcastle
in order to give Newcastle fans a
chance to see the old roller players
in action. Carr will try to stage the
first game in Richmond II possible.

allowing Muncie Red" Williams, Har-
ry Thompson, rushes, Jean of lndi-
annapolis, center, Doherty half-back,
and Pence goal tender, the two teams
would match up evenly. Muncie
wants Richmond to take Jean and
Harry Thompson in place of Griffith
and Farhner.
In the eastern league, Farmer,
