BRITISH ARE AFTER
COVETED POLO CUP
birmingham Forming Team of
Soldiers to Invade America
Next Spring.

LONDON July 2I.-Undeterred by the
recent breakup of the old Etonian team,
the Nottingham Polo Club has decided
to make supreme effort TO recover the
! international polo cup next spring. Capt
, Harbress Lloyd will be the leader, and
he has asked the following players TO &C
company him to America: Capt. F. w.
Barrett w S. Buckmaster, Capt. l.. ST
q C.. Cheape A. y. Edwards, r. n. Gren-
fell Capt Is. III. Hathew Lannowe and
f. w. Palircs, and possibly one or two
more.
With the exception of Edwards, who is
now with his regiment in South Africa,
all of the eight players have been In
London this season and have been the
most successful poloists of the year. The
great point is it will be essentially SOL
der team, the only civilians among the
eight beng Buckmaster and Grenfell.
Capt. Lloyd has left the army, but all
the others are regimental players. They
are all brilliant players with the maliet
and magnificent horsemen. and birmingham
hopes il will be possible to arrange to
play the international matches toward
the end of May. so that the players can
get back from America in time to contest
for the champion cup here in June II
America accepts the challenge big
string of ponies will be shipped about
March % 1t is hoped by this arrange
ment the players will get about six weeks
practice in America before the first test
match.

test match.
Subscriptions are still being received
here for the America cup recovery fund,
which now amounts to $4,000. An addi-
ttional $1,000 is wanted to make up
minimum muster of sixteen ponies. Nine
ponies have already been purchased by
the fund and an appeal has been made to
owners of other first-class ponies to sell
either outright or with the option of tax
Ing the ponies back after the cup matches
at same price, or with a reasonable al
Iowance made for their deterioration.
Nottingham undoubtedly means bust
ness. The loss of the International cup
last year has never ceased to rankle the
British poloists. They have tried the
American rules and have just adopted the
American system of handicapping play
ers. Altogether. the conquest of Harry
Payne Whitney's team has had far
reaching effect polo in this country,
and the new scheme to recover the much
coveted trophy meets with entire approval
here.
Nottingham is regarded as having
moved slowly. but in the right direction.
All the players mentioned may not be
able to accompany Capt. Lloyd. but there
seems good reason to anticipate the for
nation of team that will be sufficiently
powerful to make Harry Payne Whitney,
Devereux, Milburn and the Waterburys
play their hardest polo to retain the cup.

the losers, but was very wild. He gave
six bases on balls.

peculiar incident happened in the
early part of the game, when Wolfe, first
sacker for American National. singled to
center and was thrown out at first by
Charlie Salb, who was playing a short
center field. 1t is doubtful if more
freakish play ever happened in any of
the amateur games played in the Dis
trict. 1t was brought about owing to the
fact that Wolfe. thinking the drive was
safe, loafed somewhat more or less, in
getting down to first and due to Charlie
Salb's strong throwing arm. We have
heard frequently of batter getting
thrown out at first on clean hit to
right. but when batter is thrown out
on a clean hit to center, why, good
night.
Grayson, playing second for American
National made a pretty, unassisted
double play in the fourth inning which
was one OF the fielding features of the
day.
Commercial certainly has one well-bal-
anced infeld now, with Bell Hoover,
Hines and H. Seay holding down the
four defense positions. All of these boys
can field and hit with any of the mem
hers of the league. What this team real
~ needs is right hand pitcher to take
his turn in the box with Sam Seay. The
latter has been doing excellent work in
the box for Commercial, but no team can
expect one man to do all the pitching and
Charlie Salb made good running
catch of Moore's labeled hit in the eighth
inning There was a man on second at
the time, SO this catch kept the tail
enders from registering a tally.
The lone single made off Seay's deliv-
cry was a bunt by King in the early part
of the game in front of the plate. Hoo
yer, who was working behind the bat,
loafed in fielding the ball and then threw
wild. but it was clearly seen that the
runner would have beaten the ball to the
bag by a few inches had the throw been
perfect. This play kept Sammy from
three American National men got on base,
and only one of these reached second
base.
Lynch held the heavy hitting CONNER
cial outfit to seven hits, which is going
some for pitcher with as little expert
ence as Lynch. He has a good change
of pace. and with little more practice
he should develop into a good twirler for
American National.
The bankers are all waiting patiently
for the amateur commission to take

roday's game-Nassau VS.. St. Martins.

TOdayS Eame-NlSS1u "
Opportune hitting won a game for Twin
ing from ST Paul yesterday, 10 to ). St.
Paul played a strong game and hit we'll,
but when men were on bases Burke had
his opponents at his mercy and was able
to hold them to three tallies On the
other hand. but three of the Twining men
were left on base, and it was the timely
swats by Diver and Watson that put
the game safe for Twining.
Pat Diver in the third and fifth in
nings knocked in five of his teams runs
by his triple and double. and as he
scored in the fifth himself the center
fielder is responsible for six of the ten
TALES.
Burke. on the slab for the winners,
started out bad. getting the bases full in
the first with none out. He luckily got
out of the hole after two runs had been
scored. and it was only by clever dou-
BILE play, Watson to Giebel, that saved
him. After that he settled down and in
the eight innings famed nine and was
found for seven hits.
Luck broke better for Twining than it
did for the Churchmen. In the second
Freddy Hiser made the luckiest home run
that any one has gotten this year. He
hit hard liner to center which should
have been but single. but just as Eacrett
was about to field it it took a bound over
his shoulder.
Charlton in right field for the losers
made most spectacular catch in the
second that robbed Clements of hit.
The hit would have been of the Texas
League variety had not Charlton got it
with one hand just off the ground.
Charlton has been putting up a great
fielding game for st. Paul this year, but
his batting is very weak.
Pat Diver has the hard-earned laurels
Of being leading batter in the Independ-
ence League, and yesterday he defended
his title in great manner by getting three
hits. a triple. double and a single, out
of four trips to the plate. Pat. too, is the
best outfielder the league has. He ac-
copied two difficult chances In easy style.
Yesterdays results gives Twining bet
ter chance at the flag and puts st. Paul
hopelessly down in the hole. Had Twin
ing lost it would have gone out of the
race AS Twining won by superior bat
ting no one can register a kick.
Todays game is the last one on the
regular schedule. Starting tomorrow a
schedule of postponed and tie games will

are sixteen in number. and II the league

AS neither the Brookland nor Pension
Bureau team had nine men on the field
yesterday afternoon for the last scheduled
contest Of the season. Umpire Wood de-
clared the game postponed.
1t was rumored yesterday that the
Brookland team will not play any more
games in the league. When the Brook
land team was admitted to the league In
the place of the Diamond Athletic Club
Manager Clum of that team was inform
ed that he would have to pay SIS for the

two scheduled games were to be played

course, the manager hedged on paying
that amount.

. Game today-WOOdburn Silver Spring.
Brightwood continued it's upward
climb by defeating Petworth yesterday
in handy fashion. The Brightwood
boys scored enough runs in the first
two innings to put the blanket on Pet
worth's hopes for keeps.
Petworth was unable to solve Rob-
ertson's delivery until the fifth. In
that inning Evans led OFF with a, single
and came all the way home on Stew
arts double to left. Stewart scored on
Robertson's error of CARROTS grounder.
Bob" Evans, the lengthy first sacker
of the Red and Gray team, had ban
ner day. Out of four trips to the pan
he drove out three safeties. stole two
bases, scored run and played error
he has played with Petworth the big
fellow has made five hits out of eight
trips to the plate, and has not had an
error chalked against him.
Claude" Birch of Brightwood has
also been slamming the ball at a ter
rife rate. Besides this he has a good
eye and is an adept at working a pitch
err. On only one occasion out Of eight
times at bat has he failed to reach
first base. In addition to this he is a
good base runner and has scored many
runs for his team.
Fague played good ball at the initial
corner for Brightwood. accepting ten
chances without slip-up. He pulled in
numerous wild heaves that came in his
direction, and saved his teammates sew
eral errors. He also drove out a triple
out of three times at bat, stole two bases
and scored two runs.
Brightwoods winning streak is causing
much comment in Suburban League cir
cles. The Brightwood boys are putting
up q great game, and out Of the five
straight victories two have been won
from Petworth and one from WOODBURY..
the two present leaders 1t will be re-
membered that Brightwood fought it's
way to the lead last year by a great
squirt, winning eight straight games.
What the rooters are asking each other is
will history repeat itself?"
Buck" Stewart put up great game
at third base for Petworth. He accepted
eleven chances and had only one slip-up,
which came In the disastrous first in
ming. In addition to his fine fielding
work he slammed out a double, which
scored Petworth's first run.

tunity to pitch. but no one would give
him a chance When he first came
around he said he just arrived from
Tennessee and had pitched college ball
down there. and asked Manager Cornell to
practice one day, but failed to see the
goods. In fact the boy didn't try to
twirl in practice: he was simply tossing
them over to the batters. Cornell let him

So good was his pitching that only one
man on the whole KenilwOrth team could
connect safely with his delivery, and tbs
player was Norman Kraft. one of Wash
ington's best ball tossers. He got two
singles. Martin sent ten back to the
bench on strike-outs and walked four.
The game went the full route and was
played in fast time. only requiring one
hour and twenty-five minutes.

touched up pretty lively for total of
