with the team that will compete for
the international cup.
The winning of that cup by the
Americans served to stimulate Eng
lish polo as nothing else could pos
sibly have done. The tactical meth

British lovers of the sport. The

~ HE problem Of aerial navigation
has appealed to the mind of
man for centuries. In no
branch Of scientific investiga-
ton has man been so enthusiast
tic, so daring and so willing to risk his
life to demonstrate the validity of his
theories, whose unsoundness has been
proved, In many cases, by the injury
or death of the misguided theorist.
The evolution of aeronautics, from the
winged flight Of Daedalus and his son
Icarus to the triumph Of the Wright
brothers, is history full of failure
and discouragements that tells the
story Of mans unceasing and stub
born fight to conquer the elements.
The men who devote their lives to
the study of aviation have met with
many and various obstacles which
tend to place them in the eyes of the
public as Missionaries held in the spell
of foolish dream. The deception of
the public by charlatans, the impossi-
BILE claims of cranks, the use of bal
looms and parachutes for spectacular
leaps for life to attract the bucolic
multitude to country fairs and cir
cuses. together with the failure of
many projects of real scientific value,
have, until the last decade, caused the
generality of thinking mankind to look
somewhat askance on aeronautics as
a science
The scientific Investigation of aerial
conditions has been one of the main
factors in the success Of aerial naviga-
tons and the epoch-making researches
of the late Professor Langley, which
In 1891 he published in book entitled
Experiments on Aerodynamics, have
been the foundation upon which our
present day system of aerial flight is
based. Aerodynamics as q science is
yet in its infancy and has not emerged
from the experimental stage, while the
theory Of air pressures and resistances
on moving surfaces is little under

the half-mile event at the English
championships of 1908. That was as
near as Jack came to capturing track
championship laurels in England. I'm
der the tutelage of Lawson Robertson,
however, Jack has developed into one
of the greatest milers in the world
and undoubtedly could go home to
England now and make a cleaning
up.
Though Jack is only "a years old,
he has been running more or less
successfully since 1904. In 1906 he
won the famous Morbetn road race,
covering the distance, only few
yards short of Is miles, in the grand
time of 1:2O:27, the record for the
course. Jack started in as a long
distancer, but later found the middle
distance events more to his liking.
Monument was brought up in classy
company, but did not strike his gait
till Lawson Robertson whipped him
into condition here in New York
Jack began to get into the limelight
early in last July. His race that
month against Abel Kiviat in New
ark, when the pair came down the
long home stretch as If tied together,
Kiviat winning only by an eyelash in
the last desperate drive for the wors-
ted, made sport followers sit up and
take notice. "A few days later at the
junior metropolitan championships in
Celtic Park, Old Badly captured the
mile event in 4:24 3-5, not only hang
ing up new figures for junior cham
pionship mile but smashing the track
figures as well.
Jack suffered from boils after the
junior championships and had to go
up on the Maine coast to recuperate.
He had only little training behind
him when he faced the barrier for the
senior mile metropolitan champion
ship, but he succeeded in getting
home in third position. In the Cana
dian mile championship Monument
ran second to Kiviat, giving the
stocky little Staten Islander a terrific
race. Jack has struck his gait again
now and great things can be expect

l was boy in a small Vermont
town and when l was sixteen l had
to handicap myself in the baseball line

loved the game. I was getting six dol

averaging ten hours a day, and play

to pay my own expenses to get into

was to see a real major league team

money once with the intention Of go

Sometimes a team of one of the
towns around would offer us our ex-

times they would offer me my ex-
penses, consisting of dinner and a
dollar to hire a rig, to play with them.
If they played on week days I would
lose half day to get to play. One
day we were invited to play at Powell,
and they offered expenses. We took
our team up and gave them beating,

six put outs, eight assists and three
hits. That night they paid for our
