AMERICAN POLOISTS
WIN FROM BRITONS
Second Defeat of British Team by the
Meadowbrook Club of Long Island
Brings Trophy Across the
Water

LONDON, July 5.-The Meadow
brook, L. l., polo team, composed OF
Lawrence Waterbury, ]. M. Water
bury, jr., P. H. Whitney and Dever-
eaux Milburn. won the second match
played here today for the American
polo cup, to 2. The first game was
won by the Americans June 1S, and as
the cup was to go to the side winning
two out of three matches the visitors
by their victory of today have gained
the trophy for America.
A crowd which numbered 6OO0
cheered the Americans when the final
result was proclaimed, and again when
the quartet of players who have car
ried everything before them since they
arrived in England, went up to the
royal stand to receive the cup, which
has been in England's possession for
many years.
The Meadowbrooks scored early in
the first half. and rousing cheer
went up when England evened mat
ters by securing a goal with penalty
hit. From that on the English team
never had a chance, three more goals
going to the Meadowbrooks in quick
succession before the bell rang for
half time.
Three more goals were added soon
after play was resumed in the second
half, while England got her only other
score lust before the last interval. This
was followed by still another goal for
the visitors.
The Prince and Princess of Wales
heartily congratulated the Americans
on their victory.
The history of the American polo
cup, which now returns to the United
States after an absence of twenty-three
years is not like the history of the
yacht cup, which English yachtsmen
have so unsuccessfully attempted to
win back from America.
The polo cup was first given in 1886
on the occasion of a visit to the United
States of a strong English team. The
best of the American teams was quite
incapable of defeating the Fnglishmen
and thus the trophy went to England,
where it has remained ever since.

from Miss Hazel HOtchkiss in the chal-
Ienge round for the title on the courts
of the Hotel San Rafael today. The
score was 6-4, 81.
Miss Hotchlkiss made remarkably
good showing against the former worlds
champion in the first set, and it seemed
for a time she would defeat her when
she led at 3-2, but Miss sutton settled
down to her old time game and after
evening up matters at all, ran the set
out at Ga.
The second set was easy for Miss Sut-

Hotohlsiss have a chance. The first five
games went to Miss Sutton and the sixth
to Miss Hotchkiss.

The next game went to 30-40 on Bell

back McLoughlin's volley, and the
games were 2-1. The north took the
next handily, but Bundy's classy re-

In the deciding set of the champion
ship match the big crowd was wild
with excitement. From the start up
until now the points had been won
first by one side, then by the other.
This game decided the championship.
McLoughlin was the server. James
popped a hot one to Bell, who could
not get it back, Bell handed James
similar package, however, making
15-all. The same thing happened age n
on both sides. With the game at 40-S0,
James slammed over a sizzling one,
which struck safe inside the court and
bounded away on top of the grand
stand. That was all there was to It,.
The sets stood. with Mclaughlin and
James winning 81, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, GA.

CHARIOT RACES FOR ELks

Chariot races and a pushball game
VIII be two of the unique forms of en-
tertaining that the members of Pasa-
dena lodge No 672 of the Elks will ar
range for the thousands of visitors
who will be in that city on next Sat
urday.
Eugene Kohler chairman of the
sports committee has arranged the
same program as on New Years day,
when thousands of people witnessed
the thrilling events. Pasadena is the
only city in the country as far as is
known where chariot races are held,
and this event ought to please the
sport-loving Elks.
Pushball is also a great sport, and
will be a distinct novelty to the great
majority of the visitors. 1t was first
introduced in California on New Years
day.
The sports will be held at Tourna-
ment park. The track will be placed
in first-class condition and none but
Elks and their friends will be allowed
in the park. The program will start
at 1870 O'clock Following is the pro-

A Smuggling Story.

We often hear the expression
'MoonraAers," and few know the Gu
'ious smuggling story which gave
rise to the word. Many years ago
smuggling was greatly .practised in
Wiltshire, and the excise men had a
busy time of it.
On n occasion some smuggled
brandy was sunk in a pond until the
Author1ties-who evidently suspected
mischief-should be off their guard,
md It would be safe to bring it home.
On a certain moonlight night the
smugglers, thinking themselves safe,
:ook hay rakes and proceeded to rake
the kegs out. They had just warmed
% their work when the excise officer
appeared on the scene
"What + you doing?" he asked.
we be trying to rake thick girt
cheese out OF the water" said n
Of the rustics, pointing to the refec-
lion Of the moon, and he and his
mates raked more theoretically than
ever, says Home Notes.
The excise officer suspected moth
ing, and laughed good naturally at
the simplicity Of these Wiltshire
moon-rakers. But the moon-rakers
got the kegs Of brandy, and when
the story got about the laugh was on
their side.
