Work on the place will be started about August 1, Mr. McDonough said, and will be completed in plen- ty of time for the opening of the roller hockey season First Roller Polo Team Announcements t the game then known as roller polo is to re- turn to this city has brought back many reminiscences of the games which used to be played here. The Casino itself was originally built for polo. C. Hills, a well known hor man of a quarter of a century ago and then proprictor of the hotel, erected the building and turned it over to William Parsons, then city engineer, for use as a polo hall. A club which became the cham- pionship roller polo team was form- ed and many will recall the lineup. Parsons, himself a great player, was a rush; Nick McGilvray and Jack Russell were stars in the same posi- tion. TFred Jean, last season with Holyoke; Barney Doherty, now with New Haven; Holderness, DBurgess and many others will be rememb: ed for the games they played both at the Casino and at Hanna's arm- ory on East Main street, But New Britain was famous not alone in the polo world for its pro- fessional team, but for the quality of teams it had in its now famou amateur league. ' It was a widely known fact when polo held the boakds in the old days, possessed the finest amat club in the circuit. These Were the Stars Among the players who starred in those days were: Eddic McAloon, the Fusari brothers, Pete and Jack, Jimmy Clinton, Pat Delancy, Frank Hoole, Albert Swanson, considered one of the best; Bobby Beach, Jud- dy, Mort Rhodes of the w Britain Ice Co.. Jack Toner from “Nigger Hill, Jim Lawlor, who is now a member of the Waterbury club. “Red” Bayer, Jean Johnson, Jack Coffey, Leon Gladding and others 100 numerous to mention here. Teams made up of these players used to hold forth in the contests preliminary to the league games and there was as much intercst in them as there were when W Britain was having a hard fight to retain its leadership in the pennant race. Many remember the speed with which the Fusaris could take a ball down the court while die Me- Aloon and Jimmy Clinton were al ways considered the class for play- ing and good sk: Swanson was considercd good e member of the professional playing in the league and many other New Britain am made the now famous frip to rope to show the volo player: The rivalr; teur league, industrial tea and red bot.

Other fraternity teams played, such as Toresters vs, the Knights of St. Patrick and many other clubs were formed until polo reached the heights of popularity new promoters hope to bring it in the years to come. Tt the plans of the promoters in this city are successful, some of these amateur leagues will be reviv- ed and from present indications, hockey, known as roller polo in years gone by, will be just as popular in its return to this city as it was when it was first introduced.

Consequently, there lis a ter number of disappointed hopes to count, and where each hope is accompanied by a vote, the dispensers of patronage cannot af- | ford to mete out many disappoint- ments, Tn the final analysis, there o few moves made in the admin- wtion of city government in any | ommunity that have not some sem- | wnee of political expedience, al- though it is equally true that in- stances frequently come to light in which the hest appointment from the standpoint of efficiency happens o0 be also the best move from the political viewpoint, “It doesn’t take long for the av way | things political,” a veteran of the game was heard to remark re- cently. “Some who shout the loud- st on the sidelines lost no time get- g into the swim for all they are worth once they become part of tho wachinery of government or main- agement of political parties To illustrate his point, he told of two young men who, some years ago, were wont to protest against eve thing they heard or read, if there | was the slightest hit of political flavor to it, but eventually they be- came active in the affairs of one of | the major parties with the result became past | they formerly | | that they very soon masters in the art criticized.

Salesmen in their dai rounds must know how to obtain | the proper entree to the men they must convince before they can suc- | cessfully represent their — concerns, and the methods they employ are very frequently political. The prin- pals in many big deals might ob- ject strenuously to heing classed as noliticians, yet they are close to | political moves every day as they work through various channels and capitalize certain conditions that have gone by or are expected to prevail in the future in order to gain their point. Bidders on con- tracts do not hesitate to “pull strings” as hest they can and when they do so, they are playing politics just as thoroughly as is the man fn public life who sends a friend to sce a relative of the man who is known to be under obligations to someone clse, who, in turn, is in a position to expect a favor from an- other person who s indebted to someone having influence or hoast- ing a close friendship with someone else having influence. Church organizations in which factions exist include members who | probably know more about politics than the men who are considered | cxperts in the political aspect of | public affalrs. Election of officers and committees offer the oppor- | tunity and many of the hest church | workers grasp it, although, in all probability, they would not feel flattered if told they were doing so.
