Big Polo Match Saturday 2 P. M.
 At Roberts Field

With the Atlanta team in the city everything is set for the big polo match Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock on Roberts Field between the Birmingham Sabres and the Cover nor's Horse Guards. The Atlanta quartet arrived in Birmingham Fri day afternoon with some of the pret- tiest polo ponies seen here this year and their stock took a big shoot up- ward as the focal fans looked over the visiting outfit.
 The guards come here with a good record for the sea ason and confident of victory With Pete Stone, one of the best polo players in the south, Tn their lineup. they will put up a great game against the local aggre- gation, if dope means anything. The locals will take the field with the short end of the odds, but with a week of hard practice and skull practice they will be at their best for the contest.
 The game will be held under the auspices of the Junior League and all proceeds will go to this charity organization. The Atlanta team un- selfishly offered to come to Birming- nam for expenses and to make the trip as inexpensive as possible. The Birmingham Sabres are paying all of their expenses of practice and get etHS tiSlr ponies to Blr1nlngnam out of their own funds. The spirit shown by both teams is a very com mendable one and the Birmingham fans can do no less than support the game and aid the local polo organiZa- tion in establishing the game as one of the big sports for the city.
 The Sabres' polo ponies were ex- pected in Friday night from Anris- toi- and these ponies are said to be one of the best collections in south ern fields. They were ridden by players of the Anniston team wnicn won second place in the polo tourna- ment held this sunliler ill Anniston and if the ponies are what they are claimed to be the local organization will probably purchase them for the team next season.
 Eight periods will be played Sat : urday afternoon, but the length of ttc periods will be decided upon just before the game. Colonel Matthews S will refere the match while Colonel Colonel Bare will throw in the first ball.
 Misses Margaret Builder and Eve lyn Redd will be sponsors for the Sabres.

 The Sabres, led by Captain Hurt, will go into the game to win this afternoon, despite the prowess of their opponents, and one of the best games of the year should result, as both teams are two of the stropg- est that have appeared here this year.
