Yankee Poloists
Capture the Cup
Americans Trounce EngHshmen by f IL to 3 IL,
While 10000 Enthusiasts Cheer
the Brilliant Work.

New York, June 9-Again the Polo AS
sociation team threw its lariat over the
International Cup to-day and yanked II
away from the All-England challengers.
The Americans won at Meadowbrook by
can players are to meet again for fun
On Monday, but the International Cup
match Of 1911 is now decided by two
games to nothing; nine goals to six and
one-half. The cup has been successfully
defended, and the band played Yankee
Doodle"
But no one heard the music. With the
gong to end the game, and the cup safe
at home. there was handclapping, cheer
ing, and feet stamping from all the
stands. Then from all directions people
rushed onto the field and surrounded the
players, each Of whom had now dis
mounted. There were special crushes
about each Of the American team, es-
pecially about Whitney, and as the four
winners elbowed their way toward the
clubhouse more than loo persons fol-
lowed them, each doing some hustling In
the laudaole endeavor to smack the back
OF hts favorite player. The Englishmen
had a similar escort as they broke away
toward their ponies.
were rounded up In the tea room, and
Gov Dix, with q few words of con-
graduation to Whitney, handed the mas
hive silver cup to the American captain.
Whitney replied briefly, and Capt Lloyd
was also on his feet. H. L. Herbert,
chairman of the Polo Association, pro-
posed three cheers for the Hurlingham
Club and Capt. Lloyd. These were given
with a vim, and another rousing out
burst followed when Lloyd called tor
cheers to the American team and Amer
lea. Then the cup filled with cham
payne was passed from hand to hand
among the players and officials.
Fastest Game in History.
1t was a time for only short talks.
Capt. whitney said II was the fastest
polo game he had ever played In, and
also a fair one Lloyd. the Hurlingham
captain, said his team was not discour-

NOTES OF THE GAME.

a generous hand was given Cy Young
when he was announced as Cleveland's
twirler.
It was loose work on some ones part
not to have had IT announced Friday morn
ing that Young was to pitch yesterday.
Twice as large a crowd as was present
would have been out.
John Somerlot surprised the fans by a
classy exhibition at shortstop during
practice.
Perhaps it does not matter, but some
fans would like to know why the game
started at $3.50. when it was scheduled
for o'clock
A wide drop caused jackson to fan In
the first with two on bases.
Young's stri1e-out record was one of
the best Of the season here, eight fam
ming.
Lelivelt was the first to find Young,
sending the pill to the left field bleach
ers for two sacks.
1t was up to EIberfeld in the first, and
he produced a wallop for three sacks,
scoring Schaefer and Lelfvelt.
Groom considered Young too lightly in
the second. With two on him, Cy singled
when Bob grooved one over.
Although Graney hit to the clubhouse
in the second he made but two bases,
"Cy' Young. who was on first, only be-
Ing able to reach third.
Two fast double plays were negotiated
by the Nationals, Elberfeld and Schaefer
pulling the first, while the other was
made by 'Cunny' and Schaefer.
Jackson gave a rare exhibition of
throwing in the second, when, after nail
ing Lelivelt's fly, he lined to Smith at
the pill dropping into Smiths hands on
the plate.
It was up to Milan to furnish q stellar
stunt, and this he did by a great run
ming catch of Turner'S drive in the
fourth. getting the ball at full reach
after long sprint
Gessler made a cheap hit in the fourth,
his slow grouuder taking a bad bound
as Ball went for It.
The Maps were not backward in max
ing double plays, Turner, Stovall, and
Olson furnishing a mate to that by
Jackson and Smith.
Olson almost knocked EIberfeld over
with liner in the fifth, but the kid"
chung to the ball, burning his hands.
Miller batted for Groom in the fifth

Hughes then took up the burden, fan
sixth. Ball met the same fate and
Smith, last UP, was also easy, ground
ing to Mcbride.
Paint some hair on that spot, Dutch"
cried a fan, when Schaefer's bald head
was exposed in the sixth. But the CO.
median's answer was a melancholy
smile
Young hard to solve, tanning the first
and third times up.
Cunningham was wholly at sea trying
to hit old Cy. He famed three times
in succession.

ing in classy style, but failing to do any
thing at the bat.
Olson narrowly escaped injury when he
fell into the cyclone cellar chasing schae-
fer's foul fly.
Some class to EIberfeld. His average
yesterday at the bat was 500.
And yet they said old Cy was all in.
The Washington herald., 1911-06-10

hence It is expected that large crowds
will witness each game of the series.
There must be quiet weeping and
gnashing of teeth by certain managers
in the big leagues when they look at
Matty McIntyre's batting average, and
then remember they could have secured
him for a song last winter. But all
feared to take a chance on the former
Tiger star, and II was left for Comiskey
to pick up a jewel at the price Of a
selling platter.
Mcintyre has made good with a ven-
geance, and probably no one mourns his
loss more than Jennings. of the Tigers,
who most likely realizes how well the
Sox star would ft in the Detroit outfield
with Cobb and Crawford.
"Nixey' Callahan. the Tar Heel boy.
is another player who could have been
secured last winter for almost nothing
compared to his real worth. Now It
would take big money to separate him
from the Comiskeyites. for outside Of
a somewhat weak wing, and tendency
for the knees to wobble, "Nixey" is the
same old star he was in the years agone.
