Deed OF Gift For
International Polo
Cup Now DrauDn Up

The details of deed of gift for the
international polo cup have been
made public. The document was
framed at the suggestion of August
belmont after consultation with the
birmingham club.
The original cup, won by Sir John
Watson's team at Newport in 1876,
was bonght Ly a subscription among
followers of the game and presented
to the Westchester Polo club, to be
perpetual international challenge
trophy. The cup stayed in the posses
sion of the birmingham club until
1909, when Harry Payne Whitney 9
Meadow Brook club team brought it
back to this country. Special rules
and conditions had to be framed when
ever there has been challenge for
the cup since 1876.
Following Mr. Belmont's sugges-
tiCns, the Westchester Polo club has
normally handed over the cup to the
Polo association, to be held in trust.
Under the deed of gift, as accepted by
the polo organizations of America and
England, challenge for the cup must
be made BY JAM l of the year in
which the competition is to be held.
The match, the best of three games
must be played between June l and
July s, or as soon after as the wealth
er permits. Also the cup may be play
ed for only once in each year.

BRITISH LAID
OUR ATHLETES

That British athletes held their
American Olympic rivals in high re-
gard. and never expected to win the
important events on the Stockholm
program, is evidenced by articles in
English papers which were published
prior to the opening of the games.
This is interesting, in that it gives
the denial to highly colored stories
printed in some of the papers, in
dicating that the Englishmen took
their defeats with very poor grace
and would not concede the superior.
ity of the Americans.
An article in the London Times, by
q STAFF correspondent at Stockholm,
reads as follows:
The fact which stands ont mostly
is the great strength of the American
team. 1t is generally recognized to
be by far the strongest, not merely
in point Of numbers but also in all
around ability. When one learns that
there are among the Americans six
men who can run the 400 meters un-
der 40 seconds; six who can run the
500 meters under / minute 81 seconds;
as well as ten first class hurdlers, one
feels that tisey might be justified in
their boast that they could send over
three teams, any one Of which would
sweep the board in the stadium.
Splendid Specimens.
"A finer lot of men was probably
never got together. The average
height is nearly six feet and not even
the Swedish gymnasts are more SYM
rletrically built. The English athletes
on the other hand, and especially the
distance runners, are built on small
scale. One fears once again that we
will have to recognize that a good
"big one" always beats "a good little
Cnc.,'
Whoever is to beat the Americans
this year must not only be a great
athlete, but must undergo a thorough
and scientific course of training, and
in this Americans are of course pre-
eminent. Not even the Swedes, and
they have an American trainer, have
anything like the care lavished on
them that has been spent on the
Americans.
Partly it is, of course, the result of
the concentration on whatever may
be the immediate thing in hand,
whether in sports or in business. Part.

a question of dollars. How many In

THE
Tennis SERVE
ACROSS WATER
English Players Are Reserting
to Style Which Prevailed Be-
fore American Influence Was
Felt

The service at the moment In lawn
tennis in England Is undergoing q
noteworthy evolution, to Judge by a
careful study of the British sporting
peppers that find then: way to the Md
Pacific. The influence Of Brooks and
OF Americans like Holcombe Ward. 50
marked three or four years ago. Is
spending It's force. A STUDY OF the
Frenchmen. Decugis and Colbert, both
o. whom serve like the late H. S.
Mahony, is Bringing about change
the feature of which is a preference
for the deeply pitched service Of varI-
ed and calculated direction
Even Brooks himself, one Of the
pioneers Of the new style, Is revert
ing to the old style, and while retain
ing the American and reverse services
now employs more speed and less
break. The influence OF contempor-
airy champions on the game has al
ways been powerful and. to the stu
dent Of evolution this return to the
methods of the old English school
through an agency Of French payers,
who learned their strokes at the
hands Of men like Doherty and Ma
hony, is at once interesting and sng-
gestive.
Dixon Adaptable.
All this. however, does not mean
that the new style viii be entirely
eliminated. Every phase through
which lawn tennis passes must benefit
tie next stage. An illustration Of this
dependent development is forthcoming
in the case of G. r Dixon. Atsan age
when most players have grooved their
style beyond change Mr.. Dixon has
grated on to his old game many Of
the strokes which America and the
colonies have exploited with success.
From this country he took back the
break service and that desire 70 at
tack at closer range which, put into
practice. has proved Of incalculable
value.
Mr.. Dixon, however, In adding to
his arnrory of weapons. has not dis
carded or forgotten how to use those
base line strokes which he learned In
early life. Nor. in volleying. does he

pace of the service requires the strik-

that Dixon. unlike Doherty tWho retir-

For, unless a man who. makes v0lley-

when he receives the service as well
as in games when he delivers it, his

VOGUE OF FRENCH o

The way we have lately turned to
our old f~avorite. the French knot,
amid such a multiplicity of novelties,
is little short Of amazing.
Sometimes the knot is small, some
times it is large, but it is always
there. IF we desire it L be tiny, like
a seed, we use a knot, a single thread,
put the needle up from the back,
wrap the thread either once or twice
around the needle, put the needle
through to the back, close to where
ii was inserted, and fasten off.
If We prefer a newer, Shower knot,
we use a knot, a double thread and
wrap the double thread once around
the needle.
Sometimes an entire design will be
carried out in this fascinating stitch;
sometimes it will be used in conjunc-
tion with other stitches.
Frequently a motif will be filled
with French knots on one side and
seed stitches on the other. If the
former is used as the only filing
stitch, then the motif will be out
lined in some darker shade.
In German n~eedlecraft designs, the
French knot is used to advantage in
conjunction with bead work. EN-
broidery figures containing beads
have also large, heavy-looking knots.
One of the new touches is to place
a medium-sized French knot at regu-
lar intervals close to an outlined
stem.
A novel pillow top of tan crash has

stitch. Large acorns are embroidered
in shaded brown knots and outlined
