For the past year some of the men in the two villages had played inter-village polo games, but there was no regular organization. Mr. Bennert was elected president, with Justice of the Peace Floyd E. Baylis of Melville as vice president. H. W. Searight was named as secre- tary and tred§urer. That the new club means business is shown by its action in immediate- ly voting to lease the Lewis Field for the coming season, and officers of the club were authorized to léase a second field. Of the large member- ship signed up there are about 20 players, and the best of these will he! formed in 'two regular teams, while the others will train to 'be substi- tutes. Players will soon start prac- tice, and games will be booked with teams from Central Park Mazssape- gua, Baldwin, Rockvilie Centre, Squsa- dron C, Smithtown Club snd fhe Long Island Polo Club of Wading River. It is expected that arrangements will be completed so that the Hunt- ington and Huntington Station 'play ers will be able to use the Americar Legion field in Huntington Village and the Huntington Station Repub, lican Club field in That village. To keep up an interest among the members, 'bofh before and after the- polo season, a committee will be ap» pointed to prepare for dzag hunts tand paper chases.
