Polo Teams Which
Battle May 81 Have
Been About Chosen
Tentative Selection is Announced for
the American and British Rep
resentatives.

NEW YORK. May B.-The makeup of
the British and American teams who will
take part in the games commencing on May
81, for the international polo cup. has been
arranged tentatively. Nothing has been
given out officially, but II is now generally
understood that. barring accidents or a
sudden reversal of form, the rival teams
will be made UP as follows:
England-No. l. Lieutenant W. z. Palmes
of the Tenth Hussars: No. 2, Lieutenant A.
I Noel Edwards of the Ninth Lancers; No. 8,
Captain Leslie ST. George Cheape of the
Kings Dragon guards back, Captain ].
Hardness Lloyd Of the Fourth Dragons.
American-Meadow Brook Polo club: No.
| 1, L. Waterbury; No. 2, J. NJ Waterbury
No. 8. Harry Payne Whitney; back, Dever
eux Mllburn
1t will be seen from the above that the
defenders are the same quartet that lifted
the cup in England two years ago The
four Meadow Brook men are somewhat
heavier than they were on the occasion OF
| their successful invasion of England, but
they have not lost any Of their dash and
| brilliance.

At Fort Omaha this y. m. two good
games will be on deck The first game
will be a bloody affair between the Spald-
ings and Long & Vease hordes. Heretofore
the first game has always been started
late, and as the first game has to end
at $3.50 D. M, regardless of the innings
played up to date the initial arguments
terminate in about the sixth or seventh
session. Today the Spaldings and Long &
voase teams will be on hand early because
they want to play full game; so the first
contest will probably be called at 1880 D. m.
When the hands reach $3.50 p. m. the
Townsends and Shamrocks from South
Omaha will take the field and put on nine
acts of good live base ball.
This will be the Shamrock first game
OF the season and according to the dope
the gunners will have to clad themselves
in their swatting forgery to clean the
Irish brigade. Snuff Smith will be on the
rubber for the Shamrocks and either More
arty, Lowell or one OF Manager Mullen's
new finds will slap them over for the
Townsends.

CENSOR SHOCKED BY

Especial from United Press.)

Springfield, Mass, April 20-The To-

prohibited the display of a bill Of the
"Old Homestead showing ''Uncle
Joshua" standing in front of a small
statue of Venus. In previous years
the censor has allowed the sheet to
go on the billboards after a piece of
white paper had been pasted over the
body of the figure.
This year, however, the censor de-
cided that even with a piece of paper
to ciothe the marble statue the picture
was not proper for public display, and
although all the other bills of the
show were sanctioned, this one failed
to receive his stamp Of approval.
