M. C. Henley Is Certain the City Is Ripe for the Sport And May Agitate a League's Formation Soon.

iOOD TEAMS CONSIDERED NECESSARY TO SUCCESS.

Unless Some of Best Players In Business Could Carry Richmond Colors, the Game Would Not Be Patronized.

Tt is quite probable that some timo after the first of next year, an Indiana polo league will be organized. M. C. Henley of this city is certain that Richmond is ripe for the great winter port and there are several other Indiana cities where the conditions are similar to this city. Harry Cohan of Indianapolis, is very anxious to have that city represented in a fast league as he thinks roller polo would be a paying investment this winter in Indianapolis. At Marion and Muncie, the polo tugs are sighing for their favorite winter sport and if teams were placed in those cities, they would be sure to receive splendid support. To start li league composed of Richmond, Indianapolis, Marion and Muncie, all that would bu necessary for the promoters to do, would be to sign up fast teams as each city in the proposed circuit lias a splendid rink. To make polo in this state a paying investment, it would be neccessary for the promoters to secure the best professional talent. Polo fans in this Ft ate have been educated to the fastest kind of polo and would not for a minute support, an inferior article. The Eastern leaguo this season has been doin a poor business. New England fans are stale. According to the reports the teams in the Interstate polo league are not giving the necessary support, interest in the fcport having dropped from above fever heat to below normal. Taking the existing conditions in the only two polo leagues in the country into consideration, there is no reason why the promoters of the proposed Indiana league could not secure all the stars of the game. Richmond represented in a league with a team like the one which won the old Western leasrue pennantBone, the Cunninghams. Mansfield, Puberty and Jessup would again pack the coliseum to standing room only. If the Richmond Athletic association wants to make a hit with the local sport loving public, all it has to do is to place a fast polo team In the field.

Since the purchase of Star Hal. J:04fli, by Z. B. Pyle, of Fountain City, Ind., and his establishment in the Hazlewood breeding barn, conducted by Mr. Pyle, the eyes of Ind.una horsemen have been directed toward the Wayne county village with no small degree of interest. In securing possession of Star Hal, Mr. Pyle realized one of the ambitions of his life and it is needless to say that it required a long price, to take this record animal away from mothers who were at the Fasig-Tipton sale. Madison Square Garden, New York, anxious to purchase him. In the corning of Star Hal to Indiana the breeding interests have made a distinct gain and he is considered a splendid addition to a long list

that includes such great animals as Directly. J:o.-;i4, owned at Liberty; Prince Direct, J:07 owned at Richmond and Advertiser, '2:171, owned at Muncie. Star Hal is lu years old and his record is one of which any horse owin : might be proud. In l!M." he was the largest money-winning pacer on tlv Grand circuit, and in 1 1 m he starts five times, winning four of the lac.

EXPENSES OF TEAM WILL BE LARGE

America's Olympian Representation Will Train Constantly Before Match.

NO COLLEGE REPRESENTED

NO MAN ENTERING THE GAMES WILL BE ALLOWED TO CARRY SCHOOL COLORS BUT MEMBER OF TEAM.

Nw York, Dec. 21 The executive committee of the American committee for the Olympic games, which are to be held in Ixmdou next July, has decided to raise by subscription $50,000

to defray the expenses of the American team. The committee also voted to hold out two "Olympic tryouts," one in the east and one in the west, dates and places to be selected later. All events on the Olympic program.

except the Marathon race and the ten mile walk, will be on the tryout program and the winners will, in general, be selected as members of the American team, but the committee reserves the right to reject any preliminary winner should circumstances warant. A fifteen mile run will take the place of the Marathon in the tryouts, and the committee will pick its men from this on form. To hold a full twentyfive mile run a short time before the games, would be likely to hurt the chances of the American contestants. An entry fee of $2 will be required from all contestants in the tryouts, and no medals will be given, diplomas to those finishing first, second and third being substituted. It was decided to re-enact the rule of the last games, that the members of the American team will not be allowed to represent universities, athletic clubs or other organizations but must go simply as members of the American team. No professional trainer will be employed, or be permitted to accompany the team. The committee has received a communication from Lord Desbrough, president of the British Olympic committee, regarding the nationality of contestants, which rules that American contestants must be American citizens. The ruling was made on the case of Con Leahy and Dennis Murray, Irish athletes, who desired to register from America. While the Olympic games have been provisionally fixed to open on July 13, the winter games, football, hocfiey and lacrosse, will begin on October spring, as originally proposed.

Amusements

Ezra Kendall Gennett. For the first time in his career as a star, Ezra Kendall has a play which has a plot, characterizations and human .interest sufficient to carry it to success even without the personality of Mr. Kendall. When to this delightful comedy, the unction and humor of Ezra Kendall is added the result is an entertainment which will last long in the memory of the most blase theatregoer. Mr. Kendall will appear at the Gennett, Monday night, Dec. CO.

"The Girl of th Golden West." David Relasco's, "Girl of the Golden West" will be at the Gennett on Jan. 11. Mr. Belasco has gone to California for his story, choosing the eventful period of '49.

Vaudeville at the Phillips. The arrival of Miss Eva Ray at the New Phillips all this week will he hailed with delight by the many deciples of mesmeric science. In order 'hat no credulous or foolish persons may be influenced, a note of warning is given. Miss Ray is a skilled and scientific manipulator. She has spared no exnense or time in placing before the public a wonderful performance which for art, adroitness and dexerity, is second to none. Her performance is necessarily mysterious. She is not a spiritualistic medium and accomplishes her work by scientific means only. There is nothing either supernatural or miraculous about her performances and the reader may draw his own conclusions as to the exact method em-

Hal. '2:1V i. Star Hal was sired by a Grand circuit race horse, Brown Hal, A2' is a Grand circuit perforinei himself, and is the sire of Grand cir nit performers, making his rccor omewhat unusual. No other horin Indiana has two as fast pacers to his credit as Star Hal. they, being Mack Hal, '2:C,"l and Prince Hal, Another good horse owned by Mr. vie. is Hazelwood Hal. '2:7, who. ithout danger of the charge of being iilty of a "nature freak," may also .said to be very proud of his new table companion. Mr. Pyle is becomig widely known for his progressiveess as a horse breeder, always mating an effort to get tne best for hit ounty and state.

ployed in answer to questions, identifications, descriptions, etc., not all of Miss Ray's answers are correct, nor is it expected that they should be. She is not infallible, but the proportion of true and correct answers given is such as to be mystifying. Miss Ray's performance is of necessity a difficult one, mentally and physically; and there are times when she becomes fatigued. Her answers at such times frequently go astray. The purpose of Miss Ray is to give a bright, amusing picturesque and mysterious entertainment, and without fraud, deceit or impropriety.

Van Dyke and Eaton. The Van Dyke and Eaton company, a repertoire attraction worthy of more than ordinary consideration, will open a week's engagement at the Gennett Monday afternoon. This season its repertoire is comprised of new plays, many of which have enjoyed metropolitan success and the management has snared no effort to duplicate in scenic equipment and dramatic work
