English Polo Men
Will Try Again

There Is wcll-defined rumor
pervading polo circles in the East
that an international match for the
polo cup won by the American team
last month will be played next year.
The cup now being in the possession
of the players of this country, the
Englishmen who are expected TO
challenge will have to come to
America for the match.
Riversdale Greenfelt, representa-
tive fthe English polo players, is
at present in Newport, and 1t is un-
derstood that he has been consult
ing with the American players who
went to England in regard to the
bringing Of an English team over
here next summer. II. Livingstone
Beekman is also working on the
matter, and when the details have
been finally decided upon the chal-
lenge will be formally lodged and
accepted.
The game will most likely be
played at Newport or on the grounds
of the Meadowbrook Club on Long
Island.
The English team will probably
consist principally OF the men who
played in the matches last month In
which the Americans won the first
two games and the series, and, rs
the same men who won for this
country In these matches will again
be available next summer, barring
accidents, It is hard to figure where
the challengers expect to win. The
games played in England proved
conclusively that the American -four
was superior to it's opponents. and
the only excuse offered by the losers
was that their ponies were inferior
to those Of the American players.
The American team that brought
the cup back to this country con.
sisted of Harry Payne Whitney, De-
vereaux Milburn, Lawrence Water
bury and Monty Waterbury.
