Contest Ought to be Fast and Exciting

a satisfactory weeks work during the
past week, having won three out of the
five contested games, and the average
crank is more than happy over the way
things have been going since Caravan
Joined the team Every game played
sees an improvement in the way the
players work together. Of course there
are some who expect the team to win
every game, but this is an utter impos-
sibility, for 1t must be remembered that
in polo as well as in all other games
luck sometimes proves an important
factor in the contest and the best team
occasionally goes to the wall Win or
lose, the Blues play polo from start to
finish and never quit, no matter how
heavy the score may be against them.
This week will see a change in the
makeup of the team, Eddie Mooney,

who thought he had 500, 100000 but
didn't. He says:
ale explained to me that there had
been a mistake on the part Of the at
torney and administrators Of the
estate in England. 1t seems that
there were two sets OF James children
in the family several generations
past, one bearing the same name as
our friend.
"Rev. James had been duly notified
and, Of course, hastened across the
sea, only to find upon bis arrival that
the fortune belonged TO another.
"Do believe himp As much as |
believe that am alive. There Is no
deception or attempt at deception in
that man. A talk with him would
convince any sane man Of that fact.
