The English and American
Polo Teams Ready to Clash
Ooo ooc-
Dy TOMMY CLAUK.
THIS year will mart the great
est season of polo playing ever
held lu America. Tills Is duo
mainly to the fact that for the
first time In twenty-three years the
International Challenge cup, the
greatest of all polo trophies, will be
defended by nn American team. The
play for It will be held on native soil,
and citizens of tho United States may
have a chance to see tho contest with
out a trip across the ocean. The
games are scheduled to be played at
Meadow-brook club grounds, Wostbury.
N. Y May 31, Juno 3 nnd 7.
Since 1830, when tho Ainericuu cup
wa3 won by an English team at New
port, It. 1.. tho matches have been
played in England, but the victory of
Harry Payuu Whitney and his team
last year brought tho cup hack to this
country.
Both the English and American
teams have done most of their pre
liminary practice at Lakewood, N. J.,
where, on account of its sandy soil
and mild climate, the polo season
usually commences. There, on the
Gould estate, nre two splendid fields,
and thus the International teams have
been enabled to practice without In
terfering with each other In the least.
Every facility has been given the
Englishmen to get into form.
A number of our best polo players,
who, however, nro not likely to tlgure
in the international matches, were
staying at Lakewood. and they formed
scratch teams from day to day so that
the visiting team would not lack for
opponents. In the same way teams
were made up in order to give the
Meadowbrook players practice.
American Team Same as 1909.
The American team which will de
fend the cup this year is made up of
tho men who won it in 1009 at Ilur
lingham, England. They are Lawrence
Wnterbury (No. 1), J. M. Waterbury,
Jr. (No. 2), narry Payne Whitney (No.
3) and D. Milburn (bpek). The substi
tutes are Louis Stoddard, Malcolm Ste
venson and 'It. J. Collier.
The members of the English team are
Captain F. W. Barrett, Captain Les
lie Cheape, Lieutenant E. W. E.
Palmes, Captain II. II. Wilson. Lieu
tenant A. N. Edwards and Captain
Hardrcss Lloyd.
It will be seen by this lineup that the
contest will be fought out between of
fleers of tho British army and citizens
of tho United States. In the contests
in Ilurllugham in 1000, when the
Americans won, the British team was
made up of three civilians nnd one
soldier.
It remains to be seen whether the
present lineup will bo more effective
than the old one. The fact that the
men who will compose the team were
bead man in the polo field than Limy
Waterbury. lie is a strong and ag
gressive rider, with flue command of
the mallet. Ills great strength en
ables him to drive the ball ninny yards.
Monte is a line backstop for brother
Larry. His support of Larry's play is
very effective. He haw enabled UU
brother to win many a goal by good
cheeks on the attacks made by the op
posing team.

sought In nil corners of tho British
cmpiro shows that Britishers are in
deadly earnest to win back the cup this
year. They have sent over their best.
Cheape and Lloyd Great Players.
Cheape and Lloyd are great play
ers. Tho former has a worldwide
reputatiou as n pololst. Ho can play
any position, but is particularly effec
tive as the bead man. He was se
lected It preference to Grenfell, who
showed here last summer that ho was
one of tho greatest players that ever
came across tho ocean. Lloyd Is the

periods of play has helped his mate3
to victory on many occasions.
Milburn the Greatest Back.
In D. Milburn lies tho Gibraltar of
the American team's strength. He Is
the greatest back ever seen on u polo
team. Every polo player concedes this,
oven the expert Britishers. Time aud
again the men from across tho big
pond have said that Milburn has no
equal playing that particular positlou.
Milburn Is a big man. weighing when
In condition closa to 200 pounds. lie
Is tremendously strong nnd a dashing,
reckless rider. As back is the prin
cipal position of the game it can read
ily be realized that Mllburn's presence
on the team Is u valuable asset to the
American team. 1
The British challengers never have
played as a team some of them never
had seen one another piny before they
met nt Lakewood some 'weeks ugo
and they are playing strange ponies,
at' least all but Captain J. Ilnrdress
Lloyd aud Captain II. II. Wilson. So
it seems as If they will have to be
decidedly superior Individual players
in order to win the cup. Perhaps they
are such crackerjacks that they can
do it. But a whole lot of folks' in this
country aro from Missouri.
These nre points in which the Amer
ican cup defenders have the advan
tage In the impending International
games. They have played together as
a team for three or four years, and
money has not been spared to comb
the world for tho best ponies for
them. Their team work and their
mounts are believed to npproacb ' per
fection. The conditions of the International
matches aro as follows: Tho best of
three matches to bo played on the

Polo Fascinating Game.
Few people understand the game of
polo. It is the fastest and probably
the costliest when an International
series Is on tapis. Polo Is played on
horseback with long handled mallets,
which are from fifty to flxty-sls inches
in length, nnd a ball about four Inches
In diameter, painted white, of willow
wood. Tho ball Is not played with the
end of tho mallet
If you ever stood close to tho rails
at a race track when n field of horses
came racing past and disappeared in
a cloud of dust In tho twinkling of an
eye and if you ever have played hock
ey on the Ice or have wntched a flrst
class game of lacrosse, then just con
Juro up a mirage of hockey played on
race horses and you will bavo a pretty
fair idea of tho terrific speed, tho
breathless excitement and tho thrilling
dangers of a twentieth century game
of international polo that Is being
"played for blood," or, more politely
speaking, for "tho cup."
The official height of tho ponies is
fourteen aud three-quarter hands, and
tho game Is played In eight periods of
seven and one-half minutes each. The
size of a polo field is 000 feet long and
its breadth 450 feet. Ponies are chang
ed with each period.
Brooklyn's First Baseman Threatens to
Usurp Throne of Hal Chase.
Jake Daubert, the young first base
man of tho tjrooklyu Nationals, threat
ens to dethrone Hal Chase us the king
of flrst sackers. While American
league supporters are loath to class
Daubert as tho equal of Chase, there
are thousands of fans In the National
circuit Mint consider the Brooklyn boy
as good as the Yankee star. Some
have gone further and bavo proclaim
ed Daubert the king of guardians of
the initial Rtatlon. One of Daubert's
heartiest supporters Is Charley Dooln,
the peppery manager of the Phillies. 1
In Clmrley's estimation Char.e never I
compared with Daubert. "and." adds J
the llery topped leader. "Jake has not
yet nttnlned his top form."
From the viewpoint of many, Dau
bert is a harder and more dependable
hitter In n pinch than youthful Hal;
also Daubert can throw with more
nccuracy to second or third base. As
grneeful fielder the Daubert adher
ents concede that point to Chase: but,
they Insist. Daubert can go as high

for a throw and reach out as far from
tho base as Chase ever did. As to
which has tho faster thinking ability
is a mooted question.
This is Daubert's second year in fast
company, nnd ho Is learning in every
game. Without question Daubert Js
one of the most promising first base
men thnt ever Jimmied his way into
the major leagues, and if ho contin
ues to improve at tho rate that he has
shown since he donned a Dodger uni

the fans will do homage to him as the
greatest flrst baseman that ever wore
spikes.
