Eastern Champs Went Down In Ignominious Defeat Before the Old Quaker Polo Team in Hot Game.

NEVER WAS THERE A MORE ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD.

Fans and Fanlets Cheered With Delight as Play After Play of Sensational Order Was Perpetrated.

(By Tort.) The Pugnacious Hvf, late champions of creation and the most detested outfit doing one night stands in the Oas Belt, came tin from behind on the Eastern champs, whoso linkup includes five former hot Gas Belt favorites, and rasped them to the echo of 8 to 7. It was the first, same of the KlkB polo carnival series and two thousand howling fans anil fanlets. left the coliseum at the conclusion of the festivities suffering; with acurte attacke of polo fever. This means more work for Health Office Bond. Ft looked like old times at the coliseum last night. The flower of our populace was present, and nearly every seat in the big building was on duty. About seven bells, the crowd began to assemble on South Seventh street and when the doors of the coliseum flew open a storming party was led on the box office and the doorkeeper. By eight o'clock the waiting line was extended from the main entrance to the Item building. Ah soon as the big assemblage, got comfortably settled it looked apprehensively at the grind-organ in the northwest corner. When it was discovered that this instrument, of torture had been bound and gaged by the ever thoughtful Elks and that the Vnion band was on duty, great cheering rent the atmosphere. Meyers Won Race.

GOOD DRESSERS

(By Tort.) The -second gam- of the championship polo series between the Eastern and Western teams, will be pulled off tonight. It is expected that there will

be even a larger crowd than last night. V In the second period last night the ball did a Roman candle over the side netting, alighting on the "-baziz" of a prominent citizen, who rubbed his had with one hand and hugged bis wife with his ooher. Unseemly laughter. V iJuring the heat of battle. B. DoLerty atid J. Cameron collided, ruffled their pin leathers and did the face to face glare. Both grinned and resumed playing. v Jessup was there with the same old dub swinging specialty and chain Iighning dashes from the cage. " Kick 'em out Shorty.' yHped his admiring townsmen. One thing was missing. George Bone did not make his old swoops for the ball, picking it up with his dub and juggling it flown the floor. F'lease do it George, just on-e more, for old times' sake. And the Merry Widow hat was there, causing numerous unfortunate male fans to get. kinks in their necks trying to look over the roof garden creations. The reminiscent fan sat near us:

"Well 1 remember that game between Richmond ami Mud tie where" then he would interrupt himself with a fit, thrown in honor of a brilliant play by

1 fine of his favorites.

There were a few vacant seats last night, but this evening, its a safe bet that they will be conspicuous by their absence. Mr. Tip Myers won the skating race in a common canter. Tacks Bradfield the favorite, hit the grit four times, then threw a shoe, causing him to seek seclusion it- the dressing room. A lad named Mitchell finished a poor second. Several of the populace became woggle-eyed watching the entries do the glide around the arena. J. B. Gordon introduced the audience to the greatest in captivity. However the crowd seemed to have had a previous "knock-down," it calling the players by their front names. Mr. Gordon also thanked the fans for their cordial support of everything the Elks ever attempted in the amusement line. The Elks have decided to hang up a purse of $100 each game, the winners to take eighty per cent. Besides this each player on the two teams is pulling down a swell salary. Kid Houghton is utility man for the Eastern Champs, while Cunningham, ,lr.. acts in the same role for the Quakers. Both were given the glad hand while on the floor practicing.

z

Very fe-w citie; in the United States can show as many welldreseed people as Richmond, a large per cent, of the men having their clothes made to order. Men cau get fine suits made for $15 or $18 when the same goods a few years ago cost almost twice as much. For seven years Kmiuons Tailoring Co. have leen making fine suiis at $!." and fix and the business has increased every year. They are now showing the largest stock they have ever shown. Over 600 styles in spring suitings.

watched with interest, but like a. man hurrying through a side s'jow ex'iibit with all his thoughts concentrated on the coming events in the big ten. After Tip Meyers had won this event by a half a lap and two of the other four contestants had hobbled from the arena after wearing dents in the surface, the arena was cleared and the populace waited breathlessly for the appearance of the Demon Five and the Eastern champs. The latter, clad in sassy grey creations, were the first to put in an appearance. As soon as their dressing room door opened, there was a muffled roar which grew louder and louder until finally the ear drums ached, but this noise was as the pop of a squirt gun in comparison to the roar of a thirteen inch cannon, when the ex -champions of the uiverse and neighboring planets, put in their appearance the flooring shook and the roof groaned with the noise. Our favorites smiled their appreciation and at once got busy smashing the pill against the guards of Mr. .lessup, who was in harness for the first time in two years. The Game Was On. Ten minutes of practice were allowed then Referee Red Williams blew his little whistle and the two fastest polo teams in the world lined ui at the barriers ready to give battle for glory and a fat purse. The shrill notes of the whistle sounded and the Human Whirlwind, K. Higgins swooped down on the ball, passed it over to his big, hard hitting partner. Mr. Hart, and the 'game was on. The game was one of those kind where the visitors get off the best on the kickoff and manage to keep a stingy lead clear to the stretch, then the home team lets off the riteworks and finishes first under the wire in a cloud of smoke. In the above paragraph the Eastern champs are referred to as the visitors. Be it understood, reader, that the local fans insist on calling the Fighting Five the "home" team. Bettar Than Ever. Each and every one of the stars on the two aggregations appeared last night to be finest trim. In respect to Bobby Hart one can ue the circus descriptive phrase "bigger and better

than ever." Robert can still hit like a pile-driver and covers the floor like a streak. Higgins played the same whirlwind game as of yore and his work last night was one of the features. Cameron and Gardner are still the reliable defense men that they used to be and both artists made a decided hit with the crowd. At goal. Fido Sutton made numerous sensational stops and two of the soals that aaed past him were decidedly flukey. George Cunningham, Sr., appears 10 be even faster than he formerly was. Last night he played first rush for the Quakers and his floor work was superb. Bone, to the surprise of the crowd, worked at second rush, but he showed no as well at this position as he formerly did at first rush. Fierce and accurate was his driving and once he electrified the peasantry by one of his old fashioned swoops down the entire length of the arena, the climax of which was a neat toss of the ball into the draperies back of the faithful Fido. Mansfield Finished. Ado Mansfield showed the admiring home folks that he is now a finished polo player. He plays the entire floor, his blocking is par excellent and his driving shows wonderful improvement. To the delight of the crowd, he once more nulled off his old stunt of riding the fast flying and dangerous Mr. Higgins and much to the peevish disgust of lhat gentleman. Barney Doherty is still the great half back of yesterday. His beautiful drive the length of the floor for a goal in the first, period brought the crowd yelping to its feet. Perhaps the player who deserves the most uraise is Clarence lessup. The king of all goal tends, after being out of the same two seasons, jumped into a championship contest last night and showed the polo world that he is still the king pin cage guardian. The first period he was a little off form, but after th!ft he settled down to his tme cl-ss and displayed some wonderful goal tending exhibits. Higgins Scored First Just two minutes and seven seconds after the whistle blew in the first Fiiggins scored on a side swipe. Three mintites later the little fellow repeat

ed, and the crowd gave him the colleg yell. Before the crowd could get its breath. Hart leaned against one of Eddie's passes and the Quakers were again forced to change goals. Just when it appeared that the Fighting Five was to be soundly spanked. Mr. Doherty smote a hard one from in front of his own cage and it went pa? Sutton like a shell. (Spasms of delirium tremens action on the pa.t of the crowd, i With an opening in the viistors' defense, George Bone accumulated the pill and tickled it into the draperies. Iess than a minute after this goal Higgins placed another past Jessup, but iust before the close of the period Cunny caged one, leaving the score 4 to 3 in favor of the Eastern ciaraps when the gong sounded. Cunningham pried open the second hy winning tae rush. Higgins then secured the ball, side stepped the ever watchful and suspicious Mansfield and drove one past Jessup as Doherty was in the act of blocking him. One minute after this goal Bone got t.ie ball back of his cage, ran amuck down the floor and counted by an easy toss into the nets. Hart counted on a beautiful pass from Higgins then Mansfield came to the front with a spectacular drive from nrd floor which Fido failed to see. The period closed with the Eastern champs still in the le?.d. 6 to .". In the third the Quakers showed

that they are still the game, hard finishers as in the days when they captured the championship for this fair city. After two minutes of play Cunningham mixed it up in front of one

Fido Sutton and in the scramble the pill leaked past said Fido. who balked his protest to Referee Williams. Williams said the goal went and then the game proceeded to "went." and so did the Pugnacious Quintette. With the score t-6 Bone put the Quakers in the lead for the first time lu the course of the proceedings bv hooking a beautv na3t Sutton. Three minutes later this great rush again landed one past Fido and the game was on Ice for the Quakers. Hart tightened things up considerably by pushing one past Jessup two minutes before the curtain dropped. Hart and nis associates tried to repeat, while two fleeting minutes fleeted, but there wa nothing doing and the crowd filed out into the atmosphere amidst roars of pleasure.
