ENGLISH PLAYERS
WIN POLO MATCH
BRILLIANT GAME FOR MACKEY
CUP AT RIVERSIDE
Team Work II English Cracks Proves
Too Much for the Mallet
WieIders Of RIV-
side

Special TO The Herald.
RIVERSIDE, Feb. 22.-English team
10, Riverside team o.
This in brief tells the story of the
first annual contest for the f. j..
Mackey cup. 1t Is a story of perfect
team work and better mounts on the
part of the English players and plucky
uphill play by the Riverside team.
Polo enthusiasts who witnessed the
game declared that more brilliant play
has never been witnessed I'm Southern
California than was put up by the dis
tinguished English visitors.
Particularly did they excel in team
work and the nearslde strokes of Capt.
De Crespigny, the dribble strokes of
Menzies. the crack Scotch player, and
the faultless driving of Mackey and
Sir George Prescott combined to make
an ensemble of remarkable brilliancy.
The individual playing of the River
siders was at times beyond criticism,
but they lacked In team work and
their practice of playing to the side Of
the field and punched had something
to do with the score, which was so
overwhelmingly in favor of the English
team.
For the visitors De Crespigny and
Menzies played a game of exceptional
briliancy, driving the ball with un-
erring accuracy and passing it from
cne to the other repeatedly when mem
aced by the local players. They kept
the ball in the center of the field for
the greater part of the time and made
goals with a frequency that was most
disheartening to the local players.
Mackey and Sir George Prescott
played a defensive game without a
flaw and repeatedly blocked tries for
goal by the Riversides. For the Riv-
ersde team Pattee played a strong
aggressive, tldividual game and Flow
ers cared for his man rather better
than any other man on the local team
The first goal was made by Men,
zies, two minutes after play started
and the performance was repeated
during the six periods with clock-like
regularity.
Six minute periods were played with
two minute intermissions. The grand
stand was filled with polo enthusiasts
and the field was encircled with tally
hos and autos. Tea was served at the
club house by Mrs Day and Mrs Will
lard, and this evening a ball In honor
of the polo players was given at the
Glenwood hotel.
This was most brilliant affair, be-
ing notable for the social prominence
of the visitors and the handsome
gowns of the ladies who crowded the
ball room.

Shop Of Japanese Sword Maker

The forge glowed at the back of the
little open house, and the clank-clank
of the hammer on the steel caught my
quick attention, because 1 had read of
the famous swordsmiths of Nara, and
this might be one of them. l ap-
preached the entrance and sat down
upon a little stool that stood on the
ground below the raised platform that
always serves for a Counter" in a
Japanese shop. Immediately the smith
forgot his work and set upon me with
his stock of blades, although 1 think
he rather scorned to show them to a
mere woman who could not appre-
ciate their perfections.
Over the forge was a sort of Shinto
tori. on which were strung the usual
Shinto prayer emblems of twisted rope
and strips of paper, and, remembering
the stories l have read about how the
famous swords of Japan have been
forged with solemn religious rites un-
der just such representation of the
sacred gateway of the gods, was
fascinated.
1 might even now, thought, be look
ing upon forge where some of the
great swords of Japan's great history
CT swords were made I'm perfection un-
der the guidance of the gods; for, like
everything else In Japan. this honorable
business descended from father to son

ages. and what could be more probable

almost in the shadow of one of the old

else, and there are a great many eX-
cellent people in this world who spen1
all their days in reading and who are
of no use to themselves or to anybody
else.
The fact is that an appetite for read
ing without digesting is as unwhole-
some as any other form of gluttony.
The man of vigorous life among men
would beat the man of books always
and at everything in this world. Lii
braries, however, give them the tools
with which they can work out their
own salvation.
Mr.. Gladstone, by the aid Of i'm
mense industry. was perhaps the only
man I have ever known who was able
to adjust the balance between his life
of study and his life of action salts
factorily to himself and to others.
But books can also be an end in
themselves. The man with happy
taste for books can come in tired and
soured though he may be and fall into
the arms of some great author who
would raise him from the ground and
take him into new heaven and new
earth where he would forget his
bruises and rest his limbs and return
to the world fresh and happy man.
No limitation of means can in these
days excuse anybody from not buying
books but we must distinguish between
books to be read and books to be
bought. There are two further classes
of books-the books that are borrowed
from friends and returned and the
books that are borrowed and not re-
turned. The non-returning of books
has ended more friendships and ter
minated more affections than any
other cause of which l am cognizant
The man who borrows one colume ont
of a set of volumes and never returns
II is a man who should be treated like
vermin-trapped or shot at sight or
any other of the punishments which
might be extended to the lowest ana
vilest of mankind.

TO AVOID APPENDICITIS
DR.. Kidd Tells What Should Be
Avoided

From the New York World.
To prevent appendicitis: Q Do not
neglect chills when heated by exercise,
especially after games on grass, or
when much fatigued in mind or body.
The actual exciting cause in most cases
is chill. The bacterial forces are very
quiescent till the colon is blocked by
undigested food; then chill develops
the peritonitis, to which the infiamed
appendix adds greater intensity and
danger to life.
(2) Masticate well, eat slowly, do not
swallow any food that is not perfectly
softened by the teeth. Even salads,
fruit, nuts, almonds, and raisins may
be taken freely If really well masti-
Gated. In the haste and hustle of city
life 1t is better to take half a meal well
masticated than to bolt the whole in
hurry.
Cd Avoid aperient salts, waters, or
pills. Far better to let nature do her
own work, undisturbed by purgatives
of any sort. The doctor may find 1t
necessary to order an aperfent for a
SICK person, Dul tlle uSe VI liV nPeiieh'
ought gradually to cease and not be-
come a habit. With patience and diet
management nature may be allowed
unhindered to resume her ordinary
habit of health slow gradual process
Patience is the opposite of that impa-
tience which cannot wait. Alas! 1t is
the rarest thing in the present day to
find any one waiting for the healthy
slow working of nature all impatient
for quick results, in haste to disturb
the healthy progress (slow and sure) Of
normal digestion.
The surgical operation Is very seri-
Gus one, not to be lightly entered upon;
yet delay is often dangerous. A dis
tinguished surgeon has lately written;
"In one month / have seen six fatal
cases of appendicitis terrible rec
ord.
The physician is the first to advise
operation when peritonitis threatens
"The importance OF inflammation OF
the appendix depends chiefly on the
close connection OF the organ with the
peritoneum."

DILLON AGAIN TO
PLAY FOR MORLEY
LOCAL MAGNATE PAYS WELL
FOR FIRST BASEMAN
Rumors From San Francisco State
That Chase Has Been Traded
to Portland by Hanlon-New-
ton Nearly Well

If there is a happier man to be found
in town than Jeems Morley, manager
of the Seraphs he is harder to locate
than an ice cream freezer on the Mo-
jave desert. Yesterday Jeems received
official confirmation of the rumor that
has been chasing around in regard to
his getting hold of Frank Dillon again,
and the local magnate is so tickled he
has nearly laughed himself to death.
1t cost Morley $1700 in good coin
and a little more than a years work
to get Dillon's services back again
from Ned Hanlon. For a long time
the Brooklyn manager has been hold
ing out for the above price, but Morley
has been trying to call back his big
first baseman for $500 less than Han
lon wanted. Finally the local man
gave in and wired Hanlon the money
with the result that Dillon will again
appear in a Seraph uniform when the
season opens.
In addition to holding down his old
spot on the initial pillow Dillon will
also resume his position of captain,
and will have further cares in the
shape of managerial duties. Morley
has decided to let Dillon have entire
charge of the team. and this year
Jeems will do nothing but look after
the business end of affairs, leaving the
running of the team entirely with Dill
lon
Morley does not yet know whether
he will have Newton and Chase on his
staff during the coming season, or he
forced to seek for new material. The
local boss recently wrote to President
If that worthy could not do something
to help him hold the two star players
but the northern moGul replied to
Morley's agonized appeal by saying
that the matter was in the hands of
the national commission and would
have to be adjusted by them. He fur
ther wrote that there was a rumor
in the Frisco air to the effect that
Chase had already been traded by
Brooklyn to Portland for Jack Doyle
the veteran fielder of the league. IF
things come out as Morley hopes Man
ager McCreedie of the Webfeet will
have to guess again before he gets
hold of the versatile Harold.
Doc Newton has nearly recovered
from his attack of diphtheria and tine
fans are eagerly awaiting his appear
ance in the customary haunts next
week. The Doc will feel no after ef-
he had of the disease was so light
that it hardly bothered the big fellow
after the first few days. If Brooklyn
does not get him Newton will again
he in harness when practice begins
next month.

FILIPINO CHARACTER
People Who Never Say "No" ana
Never Do "Yes"

People Who Never Say mo anu
Never Do "Yes"
From the Worlds Work.
An experience of three years i'll the
Philippines has brought me TO the
conclusion that the Filipinos are IN
capable of self government. They are
managed by few ambitious leaders.
They have not yet cultivated SENSE
of fair play and tolerance for those
who differ in opinion, and yet, although
the gift of self government in full
measure was not possible, the United
States bestowed it to a degree by
granting practical autonomy in provln-
cial and municipal affairs.
There are some 900 towns in when
natives have, in the main, the same
control over their local affairs as is
enjoyed by the residents of towns OIL
corresponding size in the United States
But a concentration of governmental
powers has been found impracticable.
Very few of them, however, show e&-
ecutive ability, and some of them pe-
tray obstinate inefficiency and inactiV-
ity. The tendency everywhere in the
east is in the direction of one-man
power, and too often in the Phillppines

He is very ready with promises; but as
some one has said, the Filipino never

asked for information he studies you'
and is inclined TO give you the answer
he thinks you want. Indirectness Is
trait and the giving of gifts by sub
jects to those in authority custom
common in the Philippines. From IN
stinct, the Filipino agrees with the
boodlers' opinion that there Is no use in
holding an office unless 1t can be turned
to profit. 1t is hard for F'ilipinos to
understand that the giving of presents
to government officials is not right
1t is very difficult for them to believe
that a man, because he happens TO ne
white. has any scruples against 1t. they
look with measure of contempt upon
a man who refuses.

OPENING PLAY IN
/. BIG GOLF TOURNEY
W. FREDERICKS0N PLAYS STAR
GAME OF DAY
Southern California Enthusiasts Gath
er on Country Clubs Links to
Play for chsmplonshI p--Yes-
terday's Results

The preliminary or qualifying found
of the Southern California amateur
golf championship tournament was
played at the Country club links all
day yesterday and brought out large
ndmber of contestants and visitors to
the grounds. Thirty men, represent
ing the best talent Of the southwest,
entered the competition, a better show
ing than had been anticipated.
Under the rules. the sixteen contes-
tants making the lowest score in the
thirty-six holes, medal play will con-
tinue at match play today and the
remainder of the week, until one shall
finally defeat all others and shall be
declared champion.
To add to the interest in the event
the Country club officials hung up
four prizes to be played for by all who
entered the competition under handi-
caps, and the result of this part of
the play is shown in the appended
table. The first handicap score prize
was won by w. Frederickson, who,
playing from scratch, took the honors
of the day by making the best gross
score as well, and thus led the confess
tants for the championship. His total
score for thirty-six holes was 1853 and
the second round was done in 70, ex-
actly bogey. w. G. Fralick, new
player with an allowance of thirty
strokes, came second with 164 net,
while w. A. Barker and j. A. Jevne
followed in the order named.
outside of Frederickson's second
round there was no particularly bril-
liant playing during the day and the
scores on the whole ran unusually
high. This is explained by the soft
links and the mud that persisted in
adhering to the balls, making accurate
approaching and putting extremely diff
ficult. In the forenoon, too, the wet
grass initiated against low scores
Nat Moore, the young Chicago golfer
who entered from Santa Barbara, had
two good rounds of 81 and SO and was
second in the gross score column. Mr.
Moore is playing a strong game and
will make a hard fight for the blue
ribbon. Walter Fairbanks, the veteran
Denver player, did quite we'll in the
forenoon, but fell down badly in the
second journey of the links and con-
sumed the surprising (for him) total
of 90 strokes. Mr.. Fairbanks is out of
practice, however, and requires lit
tie more play to bring him to his old
time form.
There were four ties for fifteenth
and sixteenth places, w. G. Fralick, s.
P. Hunt, E. c. Jones and F. B. French.
They were decided by lot and went to
Fralick and French respectively
Those who qualified for match play
will be matched this morning as fol-
lows:
Frederickson VS.. Waterous, Moore vs.
Wiltshire, Jevne VS.. Cook, c. l.. Hunter
VS.. Redington, Daniels VS.. e. S. Hunt
ter, Fairbanks VS.. Taylor, Brown vs.
F'ralick and Barker VS.. French.

caps of all contestants:

The coin went in so fast that she went

Annis sported the colors Of her new
owner for the first time and showed a

harrington was played heavily by the
rail birds on account of a fast workout
He showed little early speed and
when put where he belongs will make

Throw out Kenilworth's effort as he
can do better. He did not show his
usual turn of early speed.
Sheriff Bell bears watching as he
showed a high order of speed for a

platers he will about win.
Foncaste is good form now and
when in a mile race will be hard to
beat.
Several of the big bettors made a
big killing on Kehailan. He was backed

horses were going to the post for the
fourth race. A small rabbit ran down
the chute of the steeplechase course,
jumped the first hurdle in a way that
made some of the crabs that go over

dimes. He ran out at the next jump,
where he was followed by a number of
stable employees, who caught him.
There was hassenpfeffer at the track
last night.
Tod Sloan, the famous jockey, made
his first appearance last week at New
Orleans in what might be termed a
professional capacity, or perhaps it
would be more accurate to say that he
appeared in a semi-professional ca
pacity. In fact, he did not ride in
race, but merely breezed Pat Dunne's
Togo between the races. He does not
appear to have lost any of his oldtime
grace and skill in the saddle, showing
that he still has the same firm, light
hands and the firm seat that have Won
fame for him on two continents.
