August 9, 1929 WILMETTE' LIFE LIBRARIAN RETURNS 9 Miss Winifred Bright, · children's Ebrarian at the Wilmette Public library, returned on Wednesday irom Appleton, Ephraim, and other points in Wisconsin where she spent a month's vacation with relatives· and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Cresap 535 War- · wick road, Kenilworth, will leave for the east this week-end. They plan to visit in Boston and New York. lnter~ircuit Polo Tourney Opens at Onwentsia Monday ... The Chicago area, and Onwentsia in particular, will be the polo capital of the universe next '";eek, August 12 to , 18, for the fields at Lake Forest will be the scene of a national title event, known as the Intercircuit tournament, enlisting the teams that have emerged victorious in their respective circuits, nine in number, into which the country is divided. It is a peculiar coincidence that this polo classic is being landed for the fir . ; t time in the Chicago sector, for it really had its origin at Onwentsia some years ago when the first midwest tournament was held. After several of these annual events were played, the suggestion . cropped up that these tournaments be broadened in their scope, with the sectional meeting for national supremacy. Nor will the national pha e of chan~ pionship polo competition end with the finals of the lntercircuit tournament. Immediately after its conclusion w:ll come the Twelve-goal championship, ?n~ther featht.>r in Chicago's polo cap. fhts tournament will be held at Oak Brook. York road. one mil e south of Roosevelt road, during the week of August 19 to 25 . .. Doth the Intercircuit and Twelvegoal championships arc limited to combinations. of plavers whose aggregate goal ·r atmg docs not exceed twelve. But there is this distinction between the two tournament s. The Intercircuit ~s a team affair, whil e the Twelye-goal ts open to at.!Y twelve-goal group of p~l?tsts, regardless of team affiliation. l he sc tw o national championship i t(;ur,neys are un.de: au pices of th e I 'C. S. Polo assoctatJOn, and in adclitwn to follO\n.'rs nf thi s thrilling sport loca lly and frL m all other sections of the country, they will be attended 1)\· officials of the association. The aliChicago committee in charge of the matche s consist:-; of Earle H . ReYnolds. chairman. Col. R. R. !\[cCormi~k and Paul Butler. Elaborate preparations are going forward to ca rc for the record crowds that will vitw the matches. Onwentsia is ready to accommodate o,OOO spectators, what with the building of a new grandstand in place of the old pavilion and providing additional seats as wdl as .greatly. augmented parking space. It ts certatn that the big tournament at Onwentsia will bring out the largest as well as the most colorful and enthusiastic gathering ever witnessed at polo matches in this part of the country. The committee in charge states especiall.y that the matches are .Qpen to the publtc and that all interested in thrilling sport will have an opportunity to get a treat such as has not been duplicated hereabouts before. It is confidently .~xpected tLat the holding of the national tournaments here will serve to advance the sport ten vears in this section. In order to help defray the expense of bringing the visiting teams to Chicago as well as other costs in connection with the holding of the tournament, admission charges will naturally be m'adc for boxes, grandstand seatc;, parking spaces and other points of vantage. This has been a general practice, .in fact, at polo games, although ccrtam matches have been frt.>e, and 1)£ course admission charges arc made as a rule at all sporting events. The Intercircuit is following imm·> diatdy the Central Circuit champion~hip in which the Chagrin Yalle\' Polo cluh represented Cleveland at;d the Onwentsia and Oak Brook teams we:·e entered for Chicago.
