First class Polo is promised this afternoon when Pinehurst
and the Ramblers meet at 3 P. M. on the new field of the Pine
hurst Polo Club.
Martin J. Quigley, prominent publisher of motion picture mag
azines and active in polo for many years, has taken a reserved
field space for the remainder of the season.
“Polo,” said Mr. Quigley, “belongs in Pinehurst It has a
great future here and I want to support it in every way possible.”
Other recent subscribers for the spring polo series include
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond S. Farr, Mr. and Mrs. J. Herbert Todd,
and Mr. and Mrs..C. H. Bowden.
Earl Shaw has placed the polo players no# in the Sandhills,
and officers from Fort Bragg on the two sides with the idea of
providing a close and interesting contest
It is Mr. Shaw’s plan to eventually build up a definite Pine
hurst team and to arrange games with visitors. This has already
been, accomplished in a number of the games and other Suiting
fours will play here during the season* But until it is possible
to arrange a complete schedule with out-of-town teams,
deems it wise to divide the available playing strength, to make
sure of (an even and interesting contest.
