BRITISH CA VALRY
OFFICERS START
On New York Polo Grounds
in Contest for the Inter
national Trophy.
RULES OF THE CAME
Are strikingly Different in
This Country from Those
: Across the Ocean.

NEW YORK, May .31.-of the six
cavalry officers included in the Brit
ish armys expedition 10 this country
in quest OF the international polo tro-
ply the following quartet is an
nounced by Captain j. Hardness
lloyd, their team captain, to take the
field this afternoon in the first game
Of the international series against the
American defending team at the
Meadowbrook Hunt Clubs especially
prepared polo ground:
First forward-capt. Leslie st.
George Cheape of the Kings Dragon
Guards.
Number Two-iLieut. A.. Noel Ed
wards OF the Ninth Iancers.
Number Three-captain j. Hard
ress Lloyd of the Fourth Dragons.
Back- captain H. Har1ert Wilson.
OF the Yorkshire Yeomanry.
Two extra players are Lientenan.
E. W. Palmes of the Tenth Hussars
and Captain F. w. Barrett of the Fiji
tenth Hussars. Palmes was famous
as a first forward but is not in to-
days lineup because his team mates
consider him too light an opponent
for Devereux Milburn, the great
american back, who weighs nearly
200 pounds. is furious rider and
drives the ball terrifcally.
Captain Barrett, of the FIFTEENTH
Hussars. who was rated as a ten
goal' man. the highest official rating
ever given any player, when playing
in India, came to play back for the
challenging team but he seemed I'M
able to master the different style of
play OF the American game or to ac-
custom himself to playing on horses
instead OF fourteen hand ponies which
are used in India.
Another change which has militat-
ed against the playing form, of the
visitors is the heavy growth of grass
and,soft turf OF the polo field on Long
Island. In India, the cradle of polo
for the British Cavalry, the grounds
are almost barren Of grass and baked
as hard as pavement by the tropi-
cal sun. Members OF the challeng-
Ing team say that the dead and slow
turf, which they find on Long Island.
necessitates quite different style Of
paly than that to which they were
accustomed.
The visitors also find a striking DIFF
ference in the rules OF the game here.
in that there is no such thing as tors
side" in the American game while in
all other countries there is strict
rule against what is designated as
'off side play. 1t is admitted by the
mer5ers OF the American team as
well as the chaliengers, that the game
has been changed vitality by the
american Polo Association in this re-
spect.
The same American players that
won the cup two years ago will de-
fend IT. They are
First forward. Lawrence Water
bury.
Number two, NJ. j. Waterbury.
Number three. Harry Payne Whit
ney.
Back, Devereux Milburn.
They are New Workers and as n
team have no equal in the United
States. Milburn is resident of Buff
falo and was a famous oarsman at
Oxford University in England.
