NEW YORK, June 12.-Although ru-
mors continued to fly today that some
changes In the lineup of the English
team would be made before the second
match Of international polo series is
played Saturday, Captain Ritson insist
ed today that the same team that ap-
peared Tuesday would take the field
Saturday against the Americans. In
the American camp there were reports
that Malcolm Stevenson might appear
on the American team instead of Louis
K. Stoddard. who was substituted for
J. NJ. Waterbury when the latter was
injured.
According TO the present plays OF Cap
tain whitney. however. the ONLY change
to be made In the American team will
be the shifting of Larry Waterbury
from No. / TO No. 2, so that Stoddard
may take the No. l position. Such a
switch. it is believed. would work to
the advantages of the Americans as
Larry Waterbury's regular position is
number two and he plays his best game
there. He was forced to take No. In
tey" Waterbury was much better at No.
2. Stoddard is best at No. !. so that
the switch would place the men in the
positions best suited to them.
The members OF both teams took a
rest yesterday. Stoddard played part
Of an impromptu game. having missed
most of the hard play Tuesday. but
after light practice the other members
of both the English and American
teams played tennis. or went yachting.

out of four contests and they have our
best wishes for a pleasant Fourth of

principal one being that the Griffmen

Billy Evans Thinks "Smokeba King" Can Win From Any Club
in the League If He viii Discard His Good Nature.
rs Prephesies Climbers Success Next Week.

BOSTON. Mass, June 12-The two
Bills. Dinneen and Evans, don't agree
on the Maps chances to beat Walter
johnson again when they face the speed
marvel at Washington next week. Evans
think Johnson can be a; certain winner
IL he vii throw a few bean balls, while
drive any of the Nap regulars away
from the plate.
Evans said. recently that he asked
johnson how the Maps came to beat
him. and that johnson replied, 'T had
everything, more than at any time this
year. I had a day made to order, dark
and dismal, and they beat me by walk
ing into my fast BALL Even Bill Steen
took a hop. step and jump and punched
out a long hit. They did everything
but knock the fences down"

can beat any club In the business II
he discards his good nature. Hes such
a happy fellow" declared Evans, that
there isn't a trace of viciousness IN
him. But II he throws a few balls at
the heads of the Maps they won't take
any toe hold when they come to the
plate. When saw johnson pitch
against Boston he lost control of one
ball and 1t came straight at Speakers
head. Iris fell into the dirt in hurry,
and when he got up he said. Bill. 1t
takes brave man to bat against Wal
ter Johnson And Iris didn't take any
toe hold again that day. I don't care
what you say, II johnson. with all his
speed, shoots 'em at the batters a few
times instead of the plate they won't
have the nerve to step into his fast
one"
Umpire Dinneen, however. holds to
the opposite theory. He thinks the
Maps have nothing worse than an even
chance to beat any pitcher in the busi-
ness. They make up the greatest col
lection of free swingers ever gotten to-
gether on one club" said Dinneen re-
Gently. ''Of course, they're going to be
often, but they will give any
pitcher a battle. There isn't a man
among the Cleveland regulars who can
be driven away from the plate by any
pitcher in the world. The batter will
duck or fall down when a bean ball
comes his way. but he gets right back
into that toe hold position, ready to
take a full swing at the next ball. They

Whether or not Johnny Wilson, the
former st. Johns College star. is ripe
for big league stuff right now will not
be known until he goes into a game
under better auspices. After working
against the batters an hour or SO in
the morning. young Wilson was showed
in to face the Tigers with the score
10 to against him. Naturally he could
not acquit himself as he should.
While the young southpaw was work
ing. though, II could plainly be seen
that he was cool enough. He didn't
waste much time when he had runners
on the bases, but let the bah go with
out much preliminary winding up. This
is a good feature or his style for 1t
should result in keeping the runners
close TO the bases while he is on the
hill. b. r ..-s r..
Wilson s. swing didn't seem TO get the
most out of hfs strength. however. He
didn't use his shoulder as much as he
should. bringing most OF the strain upon
his arm. This will be remedied as soon
