RIOTS AND FIST FIGHT INTERSPERSE POLO 6AME

BY FRANK DUNING. " , Diplomatic relation! Between the Richmond and Muncie polo aggregations were temporarily suspended Saturday night when rival forces threatened to forsake their weapons, or polo clubs, to be exact, and settle things in the old-fashioned way of primitive mankind. Muncie won the battle, 2 to 0, but not until after several near-riots had been quelled. Fist encounters, wrestling skits and unquestionable work on the part of members of both teams went far to make Saturday night's game the roughest withal exciting mix-up of the present season.

Pence Boots 'Em Off.

Inability of the Quakers to get anything past the clever guardian work !of Frederick J. Pence, and speed and 'offensive work of the Muncie fore 'men were Important factors In the blanding of the home guards. One of the largest and most appreciative crowds of the season was on deck to see the Richmond crew attempt the "comeback" act. Fully 2,200 fans were disappointed, not to use the word disgusted, at the performance of the local prides. Not that local fandom was disgusted because Richmond lost the game. The Quakers played a clever, speedy game, and with an even break In luck would have in all probability annexed the contest. But the rough sturf, questionable tactics of several local men, who were the cause of several near-fights, did not appeal to local fans. Evans Floors Huston. The trouble, and that's a mild term for the action, started in the second period when Center Walter Evans of the local combine, allowed his animal nature to roam at will. The speedy center of the Quaker five had been closely smothered by Hal Huston of the opposition. Evans resenting the caresses of the raven-locked Magic City defensive man, became exasperated. Very much exasperated, in fact. Slipping one arm around the waist of Half Huston, Evans attempted to show that worthy just what he thought about the matter. The scenario closed with Huston next to the hardwood of the Coliseum floor. Prompt interference of Referee Cunningham and members of the opposing factions prevented possible bloodshed. And this Instance wasn't the only one that expressed the "feeling" between the two teams. Evans had a tilt with practically every member of the Muncie. team. Other members of the Quaker craft spilled no superflous affection. Dropping the subject of sparring and wrestling and coming back to polo, Muncie had no license to win Saturday night's game. True, the Campbellites annexed a pair of markers while the locals were checking In a zero. An in-and-out goal for the staff of Walt Evans, and other numerous lucky breaks saved the day for Muncie. Bombard Pence Heavily. Statistics of the game chow that the Richmond offense men were far more active than the enemy. In the first section of the game. Pence, Muncie coop guardian, was bombarded repeatedly and with much force. On the Dther hand, Jimmy O'Metz could hardly be interested in proceedings. In the second and third rounds Richmond rushers drove at Pence repeatedly. Clever work with a liberal quantity of horseshoes kept the sphere out of the enemy goal. First of the two Muncie goals was garnered by Williams just 10 minutes and 38 second after war had been declared. Williams' goal was a neat one and evoked a big hand from an impartial crowd. Tricking the entire Richmond guard detail the "Kid" drove down on O'Metz. Several well executed feints got the angora of Jimmy, and the ball rolled Into the meshing. The second and final Muncie tally was harvested by Center Edglngton nfler 10 minutes of the final period had elapsed. Copping the ball from scrimmage "Edgy" took a long shot from the center of the floor. O'Metz missed the red streak completely. Sheared of the fistic tendencies of the Richmond club, Saturday night's game would have been one of the classiest of the season. As it was, a speedy, clever exhibition was marred Bnd interest in the sport so popular In Richmond, threatened, just because Richmond failed to play its part in taking a drubbing. The line-up, score and summary follows: Muncie, 2. Richmond, 0. Williams L. Quigley First Rush. Fahrner O. Quigley Second Rush. Edglngton Evans Center. Huston Griffith Halfback. Pence O'Metz Goal.

Tells How Vlnol Restored Strength and Vitality. Richmond people will realize that we could not publish such letters as the following if they were not genuine and truthful statements of facts. The Rev. Mr. Hughes, Holly Springs, Ark., says: "I am a Methodist Minister, and suffered from broken-down nerves, loss of appetite and sleeplessness. I was weak, my circulation was very poor, and I was not able to do ray duty in my Parish as I felt I should. I had tried various remedies but did not seem to get any better. Through, Mr. Gatlin of Bearden, Ark., I learned of Vinol, and it built me up. I regained my appetite, can sleep better and do more work." There is no secret about Vinol, it derives its power to build up the overworked, brokendown, nervous system from the medicinal extractives of fresh cod livers without oil combined with tonic ison and beef peptone. Anyone in Richmond who wishes to try Vinol can do so with the understanding that we will return their money if they are not satisfied. Clem Thistlethwaite. Adv.
