British are splendid players, their
horsemanship is high class and the
greater practice they get than we do
in the United States keeps them al
ways in fine playing form.
But then 1 don't think their abil-
ity, even the average ability Of their
best is superior to that of the Ameri-
can players. Three years ago a team
made up Of the gassiz
Cowden and myseif-played over here
and we were defeated two games 10
one. We had little time before the
match TO study English rules, which
are somewhat different from ours. and
il is highly probable that our ponies
had not recovered altogether from the
effects of the voyage"

polo on the grounds of local clubs

York. who in spite OF his years is
putting up q good game. and Francis
J. Carolan Of San Francisco, who is
also playing in fine form.
