Will TRY FOR
POLO TROPHY
Brltons Already Planning For In
vasion Next Year

The international polo situation I'm
England has been relieved by the offer
of the Duke Of Westminster to bring a
team over next year TO try and recov-
~ the championship cup. now held by
the Mesdowbrook club. Although the
Duke Of Westminster has at least "a
really good ponies at his command, IT
is probable that an effort will be made
To materially increase this number.
The Burlington authorities will take
no chances, and arrangements are be-
ing made for next year. and as the Sc
lection of the team has been left with
the Leading polo authorities i'm Eng
land. il may be taken as an accepted
fact that only the best available play
ers will be included on the team. 1t
is certain, however, that at least two
OF the members OF the last British in
ternational team will be found playing
on the Meadowbrook grounds next
year.
An appeal will be made to the own
ers of fast, sure-footed polo ponies
To place Intm AT the ulspOSdl OF the
Huntington authorities, as il is real

MURPHY MAY QUIT PENN.
TO PUSH NEW ENTERPRISE
HEALTH OF NOTED TRAINER so
POOR I4E WILL LIKELY
SEEK LESS WORK.

New York. Aug. 20.-Michael c.
Murphy, the veteran trainer probably
has handled his last track team TN
less plans that have been under CON
sderation for some time fall through
he will retire this year and take up
another branch OF work. He Is said
to have the backing OF George W. Per
kins and other nnanciers in the estab
ishment Of rest cure on the general
lines OF that run by William Muldoon
whittier may repair tired statesmen
and Others in need of building up.
The Pennsy ylvania trainer, rs every
body knows, has been in in health for
many years ana has found the burden
Of handling college track and field
teams increasingly heavy The care
of the Olympic athletes was the last
big undertaking that Murphy felt him
self fitted for. and he has east about
for a means of employing his knowl-
edge of the conditioning Of men under
circumstances that would allow MIN a
little leisure.
Several places were looked over and
finally discarded for one reason or an
other, and the exact location OF the
new training proposition has not yet
been settled II is safe To say. how
ever that the veteran trainer will be-
gin in a small way. arohably with not
more than twenty men under ais care.
The whole thing depends largely on
Murphy's health and the matter may
not be settled for some time. The idea
is not a new one. for the trainer has
been considering the proposition for
some time and his friends have urged
him 10 give up the hard work of train
ing college teams.
If Murphy finally decides to carry
his plan through The loss Ia Pennsll
vania will be a severe one. for his per.
sonality has had almost as much 10 do
with turning out winning teams as his
actual training methods. For years ne
has been the most conspicuous dthle
tic instructor i'm the country. and there
are many men in the business who
have learned a great deal from him
II is little too early TO get a line on
his probable successor at Pennsylva-
mia, for good men in rack athletics are
rare. ana most of those who have
shown real ability are already wen
placed.
