POLO, PING PONG AND GOLF
Timely Gossip of Three Popular Pastmes.

."ioshed" by some golfers about his
proficiency in ping pong, that friend
came to his rescue. Don't you know
that great diplomatic international
problems are going to be solved by
ping-pong in the future?" he asked.
Bismarck and Napoleon knew noth-,
ing of ping-pong, yet they played bat
tie door and shuttle cock with the
diplomatists of the world But the
other day the sultan of Turkey was
introduced to the mysteries of a
deuce set by a Russian statesman
who is also an army officer. Perhaps
when some nation clamors for the pay
ment of debt the 'Unspeakable
Turk will invite the representative of
that country to play a set of ping-pong
and if the foreigner permits the sui
tan to win he may get chance to coll.
lect his bill.'
Pingpong has been taken up in the,
navy. One-half of the ward room of
the splendid new battleship Kearsarge.
that recently returned from cruise
to South America, has been given over
to ping-pong tables. Ping-pong has
been "leveler" on this ship. The,
senior and junior officers, who used to
sit at separate messes on account of
the arrangement of the room, now,
dine together so that the ping-peng,
tables may have their places. Pay
master w. L. Wilson, of the ship, is the
champion. He has beaten all the Off
GERS and even the surgeon and chap
lains have fallen before his little,
racquet. If the ship gets into for
eign port soon, the paymaster may
send challenges to the various princes
and potentates who play the game.

Imagine a group of Americans plan
ming to spend $4,000 next year to win
. trophy abroad! The only venture
that first suggests itself on this basis
is the international yacht race for the
Americas cup. AIillionaires have
expended nearly million dol
lars in season to contest
for and defend that ancient looking
silver trophy. But the $4,000 is to
be spent in gathering and training
polo ponies to retrieve the defeats
suffered by the American team in
the recent contests at birmingham.
Capt. Foxhall Keene, the distin-
guished polo player, Wall street OPP
orator, with his father, James R.
Keene, golfer, yachtsman, clubfel-
low and immensely wealthy patron
of sports, has forsaken automobiling
as a representative sport, and will
eschew golf to devote his leisure to
polo. He expects to lead team on
the turf in England next season that
will be successful.
Polo is rich mans game. In vain
the enthusiastic members of the
country club teams may write let
tiers to the editors of metropolitan
papers, urging them to give more
space to polo, and emphatically de-
nying that the sport is so costly
that it is confined to the classes, but
the fact remains that polo in the
west at least is interesting only the
leisure folks at the country clubs.
In the east, great crowds turn out
to see the matches-all England
would be at birmingham if it could
be accommodated when a great con-
test is on-and the most widely dis
cussed poloists to-day are George j.
Gould, his sons, Jay and Kingdom
and Ben Nicoll who play as the. Lake
wood team.
| AS in the game of golf, SO in polo
the boys are in the ascendancy, and
soon the veterans must give place
to the proficient youngsters. The
young Goulds are rapidly becoming
such experts that Foxhall Keene
will have to look to his plus mark
handicap or he will find he is being
outclassed. The Gould boys are Il
and IA years old. 1t is said that
their mother recently, in watching
their reckless yet brilliant work or
the polo field, shuddered to think OF
the consequences of a fall or COLI
sion, and subsequently urged the
lads to eschew such rough and dan
gerous sport. But when Mr.. Goul6
and his sons and Mr.. Nicoll attract
ed a great throng at Van Cortlandt
park in the match with the cracl
Squadron A soldier team, and won {
hard fought game from the soldiers
the old American love of outdoor
sports and dashing recklessness over
came her motherly instinct to shield
her boys from possible dangers. Shit

Ping-pong must not be despised.
Not only has it become the rage at
every summer hotel, every country
club, in the parlors of the rich and
the people of moderate means, but it
has taken firm hold on the royalty
and nobility of the old world. Ping
pong has added words to our lam
guage-words that some day will be
incorporated with the long list in the
standard dictionaries. Ping-pong
has caused doctors to take up new
Latin terms for Affections of the eve
muscles caused by watching the
bounding celluloid ball on the green
table. Ping-pong has advanced stead
lily from novelty to great blessing
for those afflicted with ennui.

decry the use of the variety of clubs

of the modern mashie, used by Robert

have caught the popular favor. These
clubs are made in England, too, and
that seems reasonable to the Scotch
man, who is slow to adopt any "im-

same are the result of yankee inge-,
nuity." The scotchman rebelled
against the use of the rubber filed.

ants in the championship at Hoylake
forced them to use the ball or be out

formerly the player used a hand

the metal and clicked like musical in

ball was struck by it.
