Dallas. Texas "Auto polo a new
fame out of (he West will be played
fur the first time In the Southwest In
front of the race track grandstand and
at the cominer State Fair of Texas
which opens Saturday October 18 and
Closes Sunday November 2" said Pres-
Idont J. J. Kckford yesterday.
"Contract has Just been closed for six
machines and eighteen men who will
come to Dallas under the direction of H.
A. Hanklnson of Kansas City Mo- the
originator of the world's most sensa-
tional sport It Is declared that this
Tame takes more harum scarum daro
devil driving than any sport ever yet
evolved by man and the enthusiasm
with which It has been greeted by thou-
sands since the initial game In August
1912 assures something out of the ordi-
nary In an entertainment way at tho
com I nor fair. Those who have seen auto-polo
played declaro there Is a thrill
every Instant during tho gamo and an
extra thrill thrown In for good measure
every other Instant. The drivers that
Mr. Hanklnson will bring to Dallas are
master hands and those who know any-
thing of tho art of driving an automo-
bile can not fall but marvel at the
rapidity with which turns are made."
Mr. Hanklnson who was In confer-
ence with the Fair management prelim-
inary to closing the contract explained
that auto-polo originated In an argu-
ment between two automobile salesmen
as to which was the superior driver. "A
race between the two salesmen was
uggested" said Mr. Hanklnson "and
their respectlvo cars were stripped to
the chassis in driving over tho boule-
vards of Kansas City in search of n
good clear rock road In tho country
free from obstacles or Interference a
tin can which lay In the path of one of
the drivers was struck by the front
wheel of his machine. The Judges ac-

After tho Initial contest dally practice

this sort Is that jio two cames are alike.
'Each one Is entirely different from tho

"therefore much more lnterestlnc. than
automobile racing aeropianinu motor-
cycle racing or In fact most any other
sensational form ot amusement." .
Several of the original play?r In
auto-polo are now on a tour of the
-world. Eighteen players after making
a tour of the big fairs of this country
will spend three weeks In Cuba four-
teen weeks In South America five and
one-half months In Europe returning
to the United States for one year's en-
OTitrompnt nt the Panama Exposition.
Auto-polo games will be played la
front of the grandstand between tho
harness and running events. Each pe-
riod will last ten minutes which will

horse races. There will be something

grandstand this fall.
