La Montague, Jr., j. Z. Cowdin, Foxhall p.
Keene and ID. Chsunoey, Jr. The two teams
with that of Bryn Mawr first, Alex Brown,
II. w. Harrison, r. +. Strawbridge and
Charles Wheeler, have played az brilliant
polo as any ever seen in the early tourna-
ments held in the East this season.
There will only be a slim entry at Onwent-
STA. and as the departure of H. p. Whitney TO
shoot in Scotland has weakened Meadow
Brook the team will probably let the tourna-
ment go by default. The players will be
confined to teams from the Rookaway,
Bryn Mawr, Buffalo, st. Louis and Onwent-
STA clubs. On account Of the small entry
the tournaments will not be started until
July %. according to expectations, but the
matches will be good ones from the public
point Of view as they will bring out a COM
parison between Western and Eastern form
in the game. On the polo committee handi-
caps the best players at O%nwentsia are F. j.
Macky, four; W, W. Keith, three, and the
following two goal NEW. Vernon Booth,
Walter Farwell, c. G.. King. NJ. j. Kirkman,
w. B. Kirkman and Sidney c. Love. The
last named has been playing in the East this
spring with the Country Club OF westohester
team. st. Louis has three four goal men,
s. G.. Davis, j. T. Davis and q. II. Walker;
o. l.. Mersman at three goals and +. Davis,
A. t. Primm, Jr., G. w. Simmons, A. T.
West and +. II. Simmons attwo goals.
As the first championship to be held in
the West the players who 60 to Onwentsia
from this side OF the Alleghanies will have
a royal welcome, and as the entering wedge,
the small entry is not a disappointment.
II the tournament is as successful as is ex-
pected the championships may be held in
the West every three or four years, while
the Western teams will be encouraged 20
enter for the competitions in the East.
To move the ponies on such long trips is a
good deal OF trouble and expense. but this
should not stand in the way as the time
required and the cost Is not much heavier
than to ship the strings from one country
club to another in the East. between Boston.

Singh. back. The Bikanir's players were
handicapped by the bigger ponies. al
being the limit in India. and also by the
fact that English grounds are much slower
than theirs. but they proved to be good
horsemen and very quick on the ball. The
Madrid players were badly handicapped by
lack Of practice, but they had the match
even FOR three periods.
