yesterday in the first 500-mile race on
a speedway, the greatest test Ut skill
and endurance in the history of the
sport Of motor racing, won by Ray

HarToun for the victory were Ralph

AS Harroun drove up to Marmon pit
he was surrounded by a wildly enthus-
liastic crowd. cheering him and try
ing to grasp his hands. He ran his
car into the infiefd and stopped for
the benefit OF the photographers.
Gee. I'm hungry" he said, as he
crawled out from under the steering
wheel.
! Asked to make a formal statement,
the victor in the first 5Oo-mile race
ever run on speedway, said:
''All credit is due TO my car for
the brilliant victory. At no time was
the throttle wide open and / relied
solely upon consistent high speed to

soft turf Of the polo field on Long Is
land. In India, the cradle of polo for
the British cavalry, the grounds are
almost barren of grass and baked as
hard as a pavement by the tropical
sun. Members of the challenging
team say that the dead and slow turf,
which they find on Long Island, neces-
states quite a different style of play
than that to which they were accus-
toned.
Originally the international polo cup
was played for at Newport in 1886 and
was won and carried away from Amer
lea by an English team which retained
1t until June, 1909. The American
team that lost the cup in 1886 was
made up of Thomas Hitchcock, cap
tain; Foxhall Keene, Raymond Bel
mont and w. X. Thorn.
Ten years ago F'oxhalI Keene organ
lied a team composed of himself, the
two Waterburys, John e. Cowdin, and
Rudolph Agassiz as an extra player,
to recover the cup. But the cup did
not come back until Harry Payne

pairing an expedition of four players

cleverest of these ponies are still at
the disposal of the American cup de-
tenders and many more of the highest

stronghold of British polo.
THE Americans have acquired prac-
tically all the very best polo ponies
developed in our country during the
last Ave years" Captain Hardness
Lloyd of the British team said before
the game today.
This policy of securing the world for
the best polo mounts, regardless of
cost, has been decried by many Amer
lean sportsmen, who declare it re-
duces the matches for the American
polo cup to the basis Of which team
has the deepest purse. 1t is said that
an effort is on foot to get away from
this state of affairs for future inter
national games by using only Amer
lean bred ponies or horses for the
American team. so that Uncle Sam
may stand or fall by his own horses

an acre OF velvety turf spread out on
the dry plains Of Long Island was
concentrated today the thought and at
tention OF the pony polo experts OF
four continents in the first of the in
ternational matches between England
and America. The international cup
which had Its birth in this city a.
quarter Of century ago, Is again the
prize for the contestants The cup is
to polo what the America cup Is to
yachting and what the David cup rep
resents in tennis, and its two jour
neys across the Atlantic represents the
expenditure of thousands Of American
dollars and English guineas for polo,
like yachting, is a rich mans sport
America lost the cup as soon as 1t
was tossed into the polo arena by
West Chester Polo club back in 1885.
1t remained in England until the
Meadowbrook club, composed of Harry
Payne Whitney and veteran team
recaptured 1t in two fast matches. This
same team defended today against a
collection Of English cavalry officers
whose fame as players Is known wher-
ever polo Is even mentioned.

nearly 200 pounds, lis furious rider
and drives the ball terrifically.

man, the highest official rating ever

India, came to play back for the chal-

himself to playing on horses instead
