American Polo Team viii
Bring Cup Out of England

London. July 5-The Meadowbrook,
Long island, team. composed of Laurence
Waterbury, ]. NJ Waterbury. Jr.; II. P.
Whitney and Devereaux Milburn, won
the second match played here today for
the American polo cup. to 2. The first
game was won by the Americans June
%, and as the cup was to go to the side
winning two out of three matches, the
visitors have secured the trophy for
America
The British players were outclassed
both In batting and maneuvering just as
much today as in the first match. The
Americans were never hard pressed at
any stage of the game. and their brilliant
combinations, daring gailoping and accu-
rate hitting were a revelation.
Mr.. Whitney started scoring for Amer
lea In the first period, then Capt. Lloyd
equalized for England in the second. but
after this the Meadowbrook players had
matters all their own way. J. M. Water
bury, Jr., hit three successive goals and
Laurence Waterbury, Mr.. Milburn and
J. NJ. Waterbury, Jr., then followed with
one more each. In the fifth period the
English players rallied and pressed hard
and Mr.. Nickalls scored their second and
last goal.
Just before the finish Mr.. Whitney
scored the eighth goal for America. After
the match the Meadow.brook players were
all presented to the Prince and Princess
of Wales The latter presented the cup
and congratulated the Americans upon

ing game should have been played
between New Orleans and Mobile to-
day, each club received a forfeited
same, the morning game beng for
feited to New Orleans and the second
afternoon game to Mobile.
Charlie Frank and his birds reached
Mobile last night and this morning
went to Monroe park. The Cuts were
en- route home from Memphis. where
they played yesterday, and when the
relicans reached the park they found
ii locked Piloted by the Du.chman
each member of the club scaled the
fence and took their positions, then
three balls being pitched over the plate.
Outside the grounds they NIT I'm
pire Carpenter and when FRANK pre-
vailed upon him, carpenter went In
side the grounds and the Pelicans once
more took their positions and three
balls weIe pitched, Carpenter FORGETTING
the game to them.
When the local association l.scov
cred what Frank had done, they got
busy with the wire to kavanaugh,
who ordered Frank to play two games
this afternoon.
The two clubs then met at the park at
2 80, q doublehe ader being advertised,
and the first game was played, Mobile
winning to 8.
When the last man was out in the
ninth Frank gathered up his Birds
and left the park amid Kisses and jeers
from a crowd that oyeI flowed tie field
and made ground ruics necessary.
After they left the park the Mobile
club took their positions and CarpCn-
ter forfeited them the game TO Il.
Both the local cub officials and
Frank contend that Kavanaugh Will de-
eide in their favor and it is up to the
Southern league President to strsiehten
a bad tangle. The Mobile club did not
reach Mobile from Memphis until 10
o'clock this morning and the Pelicans
were en- route to The city n. that
time.

the brilliant play The duke and duchess
of Connaught also witnessed the game.
The history of the American polo cup,
which now returns to the United states
after an absence of twenty three years.
is not unlike the history of the America s
cup. which English yachtsmen have so
UNNECESSARILY attempted to win back
from America. The polo cup was first
given in 1886 on the occasion of the visit
to the United States of strong English
team The best of the American team 8
was quite incapable of defeating the
to England, where 1t has remained ever
since. Fourteen years later America
made the first attempt to win 1t back,
but without success. Another attempt
was made in 1902 On this occasion the
Americans won one of the three matches.
The present is consequently the third
challenge in twenty-three years.
One of the conditions Is that the cup
must be contended for under the rules IN
force in the country which for the Time
being holds the cup. Thus the Americans
today played according to the Hurting
ham-rules In England the ofr-side rule
is very strict one, while In America
there is no penalty for off-side
I..e Americans are also used to PLAYING
shorter periods than the regulation Hur-
bingham ten minutes. Generally speak
ing. the two styles may be described In
this way:
English pole, according to its rules and
play, makes for a stronger DEFENSE than
attack; American pole makes for more
stronger attack than defense.

Mr.. Frank wishes to take advantage of

said President Kavanaugh tonight when
asked concerning today's mix-up al Mo-
bile
President Inge of the Mobile club
asked me several days ago if 1t would
be possible to play a doublehe ader with
New Orleans in the afternoon instead
of a morning and afternoon game. I
told him that personally I had no OBJ
jections. but that he would have to take
the matter up with the New Orleans
club.
Il heard nothing more about the mat
ter until mis- morning when Mr.. lingo
wired ME- that New Orleans had claimed
a forfeit. 1 suppose that DR.. Irge
went on tie presumption that nc had
a right to arrange the matter IN his
own authority. 1 blame myself Tor
not havi-g taxer the matter up WITH
the New Orleans club myself.
However, the constitution provides
that games must be played on the
Fourth in the morning and afternoon
and this cannot be changed without the
consent of both clubs. 1 wired Mr..
Frank this afternoon asking him to
play both games this afternoon, the
second under protest, II he wishes, but
he evidently didn't see fit to do SO.
1 shall call a meeting of the board of
directors and take up the matter at
once but in the meantime the game
should be counted as victory for New
Orleans and a defeat for Mobile. 1

Atlanta, July Especial. ALL the
hard luck came the Barons' way in the
two games in Atlanta today, both of
which went to the home team by the
scores of 3 to In the morning and
| to in the afternoon, the latter
spasm taking ten innings to ac-
complish the visitors undoings.
While there was not much honor for
the Birmingham team In the double
bill of today, they had the satisfaction
OF aiding the league by drawing two
rrst -r'ass audiences, the CONGREGATION
of the afternoon being of the pea CHI lest
sort.
In the morning game all chance the
Barons had to tie things up In a hard
Knot and perhaps win were DESTROYED
when Otto JoT dan pulled off one
handed stab That was declared to be
the most wonderful ever seen on this
diamond. In the fourth inning two
hits and stolen base with a base on
balls for luck had packed the bags
with one down. 1t looked fine for
score. Then ELAN damned a hard on

With long run and a swinging mo-
ton Jordan took it In his bare hand
and doubled the man off first. In the
afternoon game there was not much
excitement for Atlanta and nothing
for the "slagpile" men until the ninth
when Atlanta got a most frfghtful case
OF heart failure.
Robinson grounded to second and
was safe on Jordan's msplay. Henline
singled and then Bowen hunted to the
pitch er and Robinson was picked at
third. With these two men anchored
on bags, Wordsworth sma shed a triple
to the scoreboard. Two runs and the
game, it apparel. But Raftis sent
one to Bayless, whose perfect throw
kept "Moley" at Third. Kane went out
and the Barons hopes had fickered

PRACTICAL
ROAD MAKING
University Extension Trains Highway
Officials to Make Good
Roads

One of the most popular AMI profit
able courses given by the University
Extension Division of the University
Of Wisconsin is that in Highway Con
struction. The purpose of this course
Is to give highway officials, and others
who have the responsibility of build
ing and maintaining public roads in
the state, an opportunity to acquire a
thorough and up-tO-date knowledge of
the best material and best methods to
be employed in their work. Hereto
fore, many of the officials charged
with road construction, and road
maintenance, have been obliged to de-
pend largely upon the experience of
the people in their own town. These
practices and experiences are natural
~ limited. The local knowledge has
not been broad and complete enough,
and enormous sums of public money
have been wasted.
While this course was not given
until January, 1908, the results have
already become apparent in many
parts of the state in the better use of
the money given for highway con-
struction. Citizens and public officials
of Wisconsin who have charge of the
work of making roads in the state are
taught, without fee, and are charged
only the bare cost of the materials
which are used in correspondence.
