M. and All-Stars clash' in the first game of a series which takes in all the representative teams in the state. The fastest polo of the entire season is promised the fans. Fans are banking on seeing the All-Stars make a runaway race of this game but it will be no easy stunt for them. , A grand ovation is promised Thompson and Sox Quigley when they come out as both boys have quite a following in the city who have been aching for a chance to see the two in action after several years absence from the local floor. Sox played one game here this season with the Quigleys and his floor work was a revelation to the fans. Thompson 1b said to be a player on the Lewis type and is ranked second to none on the rush line. For the curtain raiser the Keystones and Kandyankles are being urged to stage another one of their tight battles but up to a late hour today bad not consented to play.
PUCKET TO MANAGE NATGOS IN S. A. L.
Hi Pucket last night consented to take charge of the Natcos in tbe S. A. L., which is very gratifying to the league in general. Hi had earlier in the season announced in the sincerest tone that he was through with managing a league team, but it appears as though the grand old game was too much for him and he is back for keeps. At the same time to show that he is up in the game he put in a claim for Hasecoster, who twirled a couple of games for the team last summer, claiming that he had never been re-' leased and that he wanted him on his team this season.
BALL NINE ELECTS
At a meeting of the A. S. M. baseball team last night, Elmer "Bud" Johnson was elected captain. Bud holds down the first sack in the most approved fashion and his knowledge of the game will assure the Seeders of a capable man to run the team while on the Held.

Lee Magee, the "boy manager," has '

The pitching staff and the outfield are the pride of the teai. As hurlers Magee has Seaton, Cullop, Chappelle, Bluejacket, Finneran, Wilson, Upham and Lafltte. Seaton should be as powerful as ever this season and be the mainstay of the pitching staff, as he was last year. Tom is in' good shape and will need little work. Bill Ppham is new to the Federal league. He tripped over from Rochester of the International league bringing with him the requtation of being an iron man. The infield has not yet been picked and Magee says it is bis one source of worry. Hap Myers, at first - base, will probably be a fixture. At second are the manager himself and Milton Reed, the hurdler from the Phillies. Magee has a very good opinion of the
HOW GAME OF POLO STARTED IA EAST Bill Bannon Claims Sport Copied From English Game of Pony Polo. Bill Bannon, of Marion, who will tend goal for the "All-Stars" and goal tender for the Marion team in tbe old league, has tbe following to say on the original polo: " "Perhaps it would be of interest to some of tbe fans to know bow and when polo originated. Polo has been played in the Eastern states about thirty years and was first started by the wealthy club men of a few cities of Massachusetts. It was copied from the English game of pony polo. The first clubs of note were organized in Newport, R. I. This was called the Paris club and bad for rival clubs Boston and Gloucester. From these three teams the present polo game originated. Of course as the years have passed by the game has developed with other pastimes and of course a great many changes in the rules have taken place. For instance when the game was first played there were six men in a club and gbal posts were used instead of cages. In the old days
it was good form to have a judge at
each cage to pass upon whether a grab was fair or not, also to referee as at present. To run the game however this form of scoring was quite complicated and cages were introduced as used today. The first practical netting was hung by one Mr. Bacon and he derived a royalty of $50 a season for tbe use of it. "Where we have modern stars like Harkins, Huggins, Thompson, Quigley and many others familiar to the polo fans, they had such famous players jn the old days as Rivard, Stainford, Hill, Lesley, Cotter, Pierce, Cunningham, and so on, perhaps as famous then and as fast in their style of play as our boys are today. "Flop skates, rubber toes, fiber pads, wide paddle sticks, masks, etc., were unknown in those days."

FANS APPROVE PLAN TO PLAY IN NEW LEAGUE Press of Cities Represented in State Circuit Expresses Approbation of Proposed Playing Schedule. Organization of the new Indiana State League has met the approval of fans and sporting writers of the six cities- to be represented by teams. The following expressions of approbation have been gleaned from the press.
Connersville News The organization nf tha ti nw 1ae-np it is hpltevpcl.
will meet with the approval from the j Connersville enthusiasts as it has in ; other places. Organized baseball and j a regular program will permit of more j
extensive operations in tne semi-professional field than were possible heretofore.
Rushville Republican Rushville, a member of the Indiana State League' Sounds pretty good and is an actual fact. On paper all the teams in thu league appeal to be evenly matched and the fans can expect the best baseball here in Rushville that they ever had and the advantage will be that it will be operated under an organized plan. A meeting will be held at Cambridge City Thursday, afternoon at which time the constitution will be adopted and officers elected. At this meeting the date will also be named for posting forfeits and everything will be set for the league opening June 6.
BY FRANK G. MENKE, Sporting Editor International News Service. - FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. March 23. His name is James ("Snipe" Conley the 21-year-old kid with the "million dollar arm"). He is the sensation of the spring workout of tbe Baltimore Federals in this town the best looking kid pitcher that bas appeared on the baseball horizon since Grover Alexander burst into view.
Conley got his early baseball training in and around Pottsville, Pa., bis home town. In 1913 Connie Mack gave him a tryout but found him a bit young. Last spring Otto Knabe, manager of the Baltimore Terrapins, grabbed him. Knabe worked him just often enough in 1914 to provide the kid with experience. This year Knabe plans to start him as a regular, and if the kid keeps up hia spring work the baseball world will have a new wonder to look upon. Conley Cuts Loose. Conley's greatest fault is his lack of judgment as to the limitations of his mighty right arm. Instead of nursing his arm .in the camp here he has been cutting loose. Knabe has bad to put a check on him at all times has had to caution hinj to conserve his strength. "Snipe" is a right-hander. He is about 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs about 170 and he is still growing. His speed is terrific. He has a fine change of pace and a fine assortment of curves. Best of all be has confidence in himself. He isn't afraid of any man that steps to the plate and the more dangerous the batter, tighter the pinch, the better he seems to pitch. Last year he beat the Indianapolis Feds twice in one series. He toyed with Benny Kauff, the demon slugger. In 1914 he beat Russell Ford of the Buffalo Feds, Miner Brown of St. Louis and Fred Falkenberg. He beat some of the lesser pitching luminaries in the Federal league, and scored three shut-outs in his first nine games. He's been pitching for the Yannigans in the festivities hereabouts and he has made the regulars look like bushers. Conley One of Staff. But Conley isn't the only pitcher that the Terrapins have. There are six others and a glance at the makeup of tbe staff convinces that Knabe has one of the very best pitching corps in the Federal league. .Charles ("Chief") Bender, regarded for years as one of the greatest pitchers in baseball, will be Knabe's mainstay this year. The "Chief" has been going along in wonderful shape this spring and bis right arm seems as mighty as of yore. Jack Quinn, who was with the Braves and Rochester, N. Y-, in 1913, and with the Terrapins last year, is back in old time form. George Suggs and his slow ball, are as puzzling as ever. Suggs was the Terrapins winning pitcher last year and he seems due for another good year. To round out his pitching staff, Knabe has Bill Dailey, the only lefthander in the squad, who was with the St. Louis Browns a couple of years ago. Frank Smith, the former White Sox pitching star, and Irving Wilhelm, who won his spurs with the Brooklyn Dodgers and Pittsburg Pirates, are also members of the staff.
SEEDERS KEEP ABEL
Ernest Abel will not nor has not signed up with the Indianapolis EmRoes because the A. S. M. has previous claims to his services and under no consideration will they let loose of him as he is far to valuable man to let run loose. Vogel manager of the Em-Roes in a talk with Ernie, Sunday mis-stated the situation telling Abel that he had been released by the Seeders.

Connersville Examiner Every club in the new league is taking a great deal of interest and the outlook for r. very successful season is bright. MAY SIGN OESTING With Doc Harrold flopping over to the All-Stars the Em-Roes find themselves short a defense man. Just who they will get is a matter of much speculation but it is probable that Dutch Oesting will be offered the place. Dutch when going right is as good a defense man as there Is in the city and the Em-Roes could do a whole lot worse in selecting their man.
former Philly infielder and will see if he can make a star second sacker out of him. At short Al Holt and Gagnier are battling for the job. At third base are the old standby, Tex Westerzil, and the rookie Edwards. The position will go to Westerzil beyond a doubt for the simple reason that Edwards is too inexperineced in the ways of the big leaguers. Magee is proud of his outfield and calls it the best in the league. Left field introduces George Anderson, reliable and fast. Center field will find Cooper trampling its new green shoots on the opening day. Cooper
is tne speedy outfielder McGraw lost by keeping him in confinement too long. Steve Evans will tango in right field, as usual. Evans batted .355 last season. The squad is well provided with catchers. Mike Simon, secured from the St. Louis Feds, is making a hit with Magee. Doc Watson was the third string catcher last year, but if work counts for anything the doctor will land second place on the backstop staff this year.
