GOULDS ALL ATHLETES
New York Times,


George ]. Gould is firm believer in sports.
He Is not only an expert polo and tennis player
himself but is determined. that his shall
be athletes. Years ago Mr. Gould laid out
plans for the bringing up Of his family. So
successful have these plans worked out that his
two eldest sons are rated among the best polo
players of the country. The second son. Jay,
aItho but II years old, is the champion court
tennis player of the United States. and is now
in England. where he will compete for the cham
pionship of Great Britain which is In reality
the worlds championship.
It was not accident, but design. that made the
two Gould boys sturdy athletes. Neither OF
them Is really robust, but they have constttu-
tions hardened By open air exercise. At his
country home at Lakewood George J. Gould
taught his boys how to swim and ride soon
as they were able to do In safety. The
best instructors were engaged and the father
set the example himself
By the time the eldest boy, Kingdom. was
16 his brother. Jay, being one year younger. the
lads were classed among the best polo players
In the country, in addition to being expert cross
country riders. With their father and Benjamin
Nichcl they appeared the polo field and held
their own with the veterans Of the game
The appearance of any prominent European
expert in sports in New York meant one or more
visits to Lakewood.
Kingdom Gould altho older than his brother.
| Jay; Is not as good tennis and racquet player
| as the rational champion. but he is q superior
polo player to his brother. The pair are about
equal at crosscountry riding. In their sports
| the young men Joined by the sister, Mar
| jorie who is expert horsewoman. The other
| Gould children are being brought up on similar
| lines.
