' Indiana men are expected in the city some time this week at which time the situation will be thoroughly canvassed. Piqua sport promoters are being interested in a proposed plan for placing a speedy team in the field here to start the season late next fall. Piqua has every facility for staging the sport and local followers of the game predict that the city will be one of the live-wire polo towns of the l-O i next winter. !

In the infield Via. at the first stop; Overholser at second; Campbell at short; Pottingcr at the far corner, are fixtures. The outfield probably will be patrolled by Jenkinson.
