ARMY ABOLISHES FENCING
Team Withdraws from 1ntercoi'
leCiate League.

Fencins as an intercollegiate sport AT
west Poin. has been abolished and the
Army team has withdrawn from the IN
tercollegiate Fencing Association sccoru-
ing 10 a letter which the league ofncers
received Yesterday from the manager OF
the military academy team. This acuon
was taken under orders OF the superin-
tensent of the academy, and the army
team has been disbanded and all the oudi
meets that had been scheduled with COL
,eee teams for the coming season nave
been cancelled
No reason was given by the west folht
manager further than that already ststep'
although the cadets must have known
that such radical action, coming as II
does after all arrangements have been
agreed upon for the holding OF the inter
collegiate championship tournament
would throw the entire college fenclns
world into confusion. The action Wat
surprise TO the league, and VIII ne
cessitate a complete rearrangement OF
the plans for the tournaments. BY the
original plan Columbia Cornell and the
Army were TO meet at West Point while
Harvard. Yale and Bowdoin and Prince
ton. PENNSYLVANIA and the Navy had
matches at Boston and Annapolis re-
spectively. Thi. will now have TO be
altered.
Whether the Navy will follow the sol
diers out of the league is a matter OF
conjecture. The sudden action OF the
cadets brings up afresh the antagonism
that the colleges have had for the service
teams and the efforts they have made TO
have the Army and Navy give up their
membership in the association. with the
dropping out Of West Point also comes
the rumor that Yale. too. is planning TO
give up membership in the fencing as
ISOLATION, as it has already done in bss-
ketbal and hockey. Such action would
leave only Columbia, Cornell, Bowdoin,
PENNSYLVANIA. Princeton, Harvard and
Annapolis In the league.

lenge received from the birmingham Club

nected with the matches for the cup and
the entertainment Of the Duke OF West
minister and the members of the British

ut would be impossible to foreshadow
the nature OF the plans connected with
the polo cup" said Mr.. Herbert, except
TO say that the series Of the best or three
out of five matches will surely be played
either the last week Of May or the first
week of June. and probably on the heio
OF the Meadow Brook Hunt Club, at West
bury, Long Island" Mr.. Herbert re-
marked that he did not know whether the
formality OF accepting the challenge on
Friday, the 18th, was to be unfortunate
for the Americans or for the English.
In addition to Mr.. Herbert, who is the
chairman. the executive committee Of the
Polo Association includes r. L. Agassiz
and Joshua Crane. Of Boston; John c.
Groom and Charles Wheeler. Of Phila-

Six Bids for Space at Salon at

There IS q prospect Of half dozen OF
the leading makes Of electric automobiles
and at least two high priced American
gasolene cars being exhibited at the
forthcoming salon at the Hotel Aston.
which heretofore has been devoted eX-
clusIvely 10 foreign built motor cars
Applications for space are under consid-
Grafton by the show committee Of the
Automobile Importers Alliance, and will
probably be acted upon this week.
Heretofore there have been from six 10
ten exhibits OF electric pleasure cars each
year. but only two have taken space for
the big double show which opens in the
Garden and Palace on January H. the
day the salon closes.
The applications for space to exhibit
American gasolene cars at the salon are
said to be prompted by dissatisfaction
with the space allotted at the other shows
One of these applicants bases its claim
on the fact that while its car is built In
this country. II is largely designed abroad
and is In reality a foreign car.
