Richmond people mal have an opportunity to witness the latest development in the automobile line, known as "auto polo. Plans are being made by a local automobile dealer to stage a game of auto polo at Athletic park. South Twenty-third 6treet some time this sammer. A game of this new type of sport was staged before hundreds of people at Wichita. Kas., recently. Thrills that are missing in most of the present-day games were to be found there, according to the spectators. So successful was the first trial of this game that another is being planned for the same city on July 4 of this year. The game was played on a field 1.100 feet long and 800 feet wide. The goals of the respective teams were placed at the ends of this oblong space. A pneumatic ball, about the size of the ordinary basket ball was made the object of the mallets in the hands of the players, the object of the game being to drive the ball across the goal line of the opponent. Two teams took part in the contest. Each team consisted of four men. Two automobiles were used by each team, one being used as a "forward" machine, and the other as a "goal tender." One of the players in- each machine drove the car while the other held in a precarious position to a taped iron bar. Each mallet man was provided with a heavy mallet with a long handle, much the same, only greater in weight, as the ordinary croquet mallet. Because of the likelihood of "spills," a curved arch of iron pipe was placed over the driver's head and attached to the 6ides of the car. The referee placed the ball in

the middle of the field and a rush was made by the forwards of both teams. The "forward" machine of the "Reds" won the race for the ball, and drove it fifty yards toward the opposing goal. The driver on the "Grays" " forward car. attempting too short a turn to go in pursuit of the forward of the opposing team turned his machine "turtle," and both he and the mallet man were thrown to the ground. Neither was hurt, however, and the car was righted, started, and sent in pursuit of the forward car of the other team before a goal was made. The first half ended with one score for each team. The Reds finally won out, four goals to three. Cars used by the drivers in this first game of auto polo on record. ' were of very light construction. They were stripped, too, and capable of making very high speed. Time and again the drivers of the cars would turn their machines upon two wheels only to right it by throwing their weight against the steering wheel so as to right the machine.

PREDICTS MAHY TOURS A. A. A. Man Says People Want to See U. S.

Combination interstate tours, which include both motor vehicles and railroad trains, are a feature of the present year, accounted for by the growing - desire of the average American to see more of hi a own country in a limited space of time. "There are various reasons for this plan." comments Chairman Howard Longstreth of the A. A. A. touring information board, "the principal one of which is that our disconnected state road systems do not permit the ron

I tlnuous travel possible In Kurope from Jone country to another. But we are

making a steady admnce, and in the next decade will haveraiade substantial progress toward a comprehensive countrywide network of Interstate road 8. "Another thing that explains the combination tour is the desire first to see the country's wonderlands, which calls for the shipment of the automobile, or its driving; to the section of the country visited, without its com-, piemen t. of passengers, who. both for
