"HIS year will mark the great
est season of polo playing ever
hold In Tbic ic d11n

est season of polo playing ever
held in America. This is due
mainly to the fact that for the
first time in twenty-three years the
International Challenge cup, the
greatest Of all polo trophies, will be
defended by an American team. The
play for it will be held on native soil,
and citizens Of the United States may
have a chance to see the contest with
out a trip across the ocean. The
games are scheduled to be played at
Meadowbrook club grounds, Westbury.
N. Y, May 81, June 3 and T.
Since 1886, when the American cup
was won by an English team at New
port, r. l., the matches have been
played in England, but the victory of
Harry Payne Whitney and his team
last year brought the cup back to this
country.
Both the English and American
teams have done most of their pre-
liminary practice at Lakewood, N. j.,
where, on account of its sandy soil
and mild climate, the polo season
usually commences. There, on the
Gould estate, are two splendid fields,
and thus the international teams have
been enabled to practice without in
terfering with each other in the least.
Every facility has been given the
Englishmen to get into form.
A number of our best polo players,
who, however, are not likely to figure
in the international matches, were
staying at Lakewood, and they formed
scratch teams from day to day so that
the visiting team would not lack for
opponents. In the same way teams
were made up in order to give the
Meadowbrook players practice.
American Team Same as 1909.
The American team which will de-
fend the cup this year is made up of
the men who won it in 1909 at Hur-
lingham, England. They are Lawrence
Waterbury (No. u, j. M. Waterbury,
Jr. mo. p, Harry Payne Whitney (No.
81 and D. Milburn Dackl. The substi-
tutes are Louis Stoddard, Malcolm Ste
venson and r. ]. Collier.
The members of the English team are
Captain F. w. Barrett, Captain Les
lie Cheape, Lieutenant E. w. E.
Palmes, Captain II. II. Wilson, Lieu
tenant A. N. Edwards and Captain
Hardness Lloyd.
1t will be seen by this lineup that the
contest will be fought out between of
ficers of the British army and citizens
of the United States. In the contests
in Hurlingham in 1909, when the
Americans won, the British team was
made up of three civilians and one
soldier
1t remains to be seen whether the
present lineup will be more effective
than the old one. The fact that the
men who will compose the team were

to victory on many occasions.
Milburn the Greatest Back.
In D. Miburn lies the Gibraltar of
the American teams strength. He is
the greatest back ever seen on polo
team. Every polo player comedies this,
even the expert Britishers Time and
again the men from across the big
pond have said that Milburn has no
equal playing that particular position.
Milburn is big man. weighing when
in condition close to 200 pounds. He
is tremendously strong and a dashing,
reckless rider. AS back is the prin
cipal position of the game it can read
lily be realized that Milburn's presence
on the team is a valuable asset to the
| American team.
The British challengers never have
played as a team-some of them never
had seen one another play before they
met at Lakewood some weeks ago
and they are playing strange ponies,
at least all but Captain j. Hardness
Lloyd and Captain II. II. Wilson. So
! it seems as if they will have to be
decidedly superior individual players
in order to win the cup. Perhaps they
are such crackerjacks that they can
do it. But a whole lot Of folks in this
country are from Missouri.
These are points in which the Amer
ican cup defenders have the advan-
tage in the impending international
games. They have played together as
a team for three or four years, and
money has not been spared to comb
the world for the best ponies for
them. Their team work and their
mounts are believed to approach per-
