FAMOUS PoLoIsr HURT

LONDON, June pa serious ac-
cident befell W. S. Buckmaster yester-
day on the Hurlingham polo grounds,
the famous old player badly dislocating
his shoulder through being thrown
while engaged in a trial match against
the team the Hurlingham committee
had selected to defend the international
cup against the Meadowbrooks.
With Mr.. Buckmaster out of the
race, England's chances of retaining
possession of the international cup
have lessened very considerably, and
it is probable that Harry Payne Whit
ney's team will start favorites for the
cup.
Mr.. Buckmaster was not one of the
quartet selected for the first of the in
ternational games, but the opinion had
become general that he would play in
the others.

POLY GYMNASTIC MEET

AS the result of a protest against
Edwin Blye, a post graduate student
at Polytechnic high, the gymnastic
meet between Los Angeles high and
Poly, scheduled for yesterday afternoon
in the Polytechnic gymnasium, was
postponed until tomorrow.
A friendly program of gymnastic
stunts had. been arranged, but when
the Los Angeles high faculty noticed
that Blye was to be a contestant they
at once entered a protest, on the
grounds that Blye as a post graduate
was not eligible to compete, and in the
event of his taking part 1t would jeap-
ardize the eligibility of the L. A. par
ticipants
Blye admitted that he was taking q
post graduate course, in contemplation
of his entrance to Stanford university.
The result of the protest was the call
ing off of the event, which will be held
tomorrow afternoon, with the under
standing that Blye will not participate.

BALL TEAM ABANDoNs PLANS

MADISON, Wis. June 22.-It does
not seem likely that the baseball team
of the University of Wisconsin will be
able to make it's contemplated trip to
Japan to play a series of games with
the Kieo university of Toxic. 1t will
require $4,000 to pay the expenses of
the team on the trip, and while the
Japanese are willing to contribute
$4,000 it will be necessary to raise $4,000
by subscription from alumni now at
tending the commencement exercises,
or in some manner.
The athletic council has declined to
finance the project. A movement has
been started to induce the wealthy
alumni of the university TO subscribe
the necessary $4,000.

Secret of the Tools Used by the Incas

cred iron in spite of the fact that the
soil of all three countries was largely
impregnated with it. But they substi-
tuted for it combination of metals
that had the temper of steel, and the
secret of the combination Is lost TO
mankind.
Humboldt tried to discover the lost
art by analyzing a chisel found In an
ancient Inca silver mine, but all he
could make of 1t was that it appeared
to be a combination OF a small portion
of tin with copper. No present known
way of combining these two metals
will give the hardness of steel, so
there must have been something else
in the chisel which Humboldt missed.
And these ancient races were able to
prepare pure copper go that it equaled
the temper Of the finest steel produced
at the present day by the most scien-
tiic process. With their bronze and
copper instruments they were able to
quarry and shape the hardest stone.
