POLO is RICH MANS GAME
Sport Descended From Persians OF
Tenth Century to British Army
Officers and Then to U. S.

IL
For obvious reasons polo, although
introduced much earlier into this
country from abroad, has attracted
far less popular interest than golf.
Like cricket, another exotic game, for
years it has had firm hold in a
number of localities throughout the
United States, but necessarily the
cost of keeping strings of ponies and
providing good grounds makes it a
rich mans sport. That is a drawback
which its great advantages as a high
test Of skill are never likely to over
come even among horse-loving people
Yet merely as spectacle, from
which standpoint most persons past
, their youth regard outdoor sports
polo is one of the greatest of games
1t is easy to follow and is exciting to
watch. The international match on
the Meadow Brook club grClnds natur-
ally excited unusual enthusla SIN be.
cause the teams were made up of the
crack players Of the United States
and England.
Nevertheless, the true measure OF
the affection in which any sport is
held by the every day public is the ex
tent to which it has played the game
Americans cling to baseball as Eng
lishmen do to cricket because it was
i their boyhood game. Polo may occupy
one of the most honorable positions
in the history of athletic sports, de
scending as 1t does from the Per
SLAMS of the tenth century to the
British merchants and army officers
in India, and through them to England
and the United States in the last forty
years, but it remains an alien game
whose claim is on the eye and not OIL
the heart OF the great American
| public.

ity, before an assemblage of Stanford
students and professors OF the uni.
vesity, put forth the following novel
suggestion:
'The tragic story of the shriveling
and disappearance of unused organs
is one Of the most thrilling chapters
which science has written. Faculties
neglected become the prey of the
forces of death. Powers subject to no
strain disappear. 1t may be that the

law, and that only be who ctlltivates a

around the remnants of the balloon.
A quarter of a miles walk brought
US to the spot. A company of SOL

to the site where the dirigible lay It
had fallen from an immense height,
and with incredible velocity, for the
wickerwork of the basket was smash

which lay strewn over the ground,
while the speed of the descent had
ripped the gas bag from its frame

hundred yards lay the broken rem
nants of the instruments. But the
most singular fact was that, while the
surrounding land was parched from
drought, the balloons remnants rest
ed in a pool of water some two feet
deep, which had gathered into a de-
preston on the ground; and water
had drenched the wickerwork and the
pieces of the instruments.
