1.-The Big Four" Will Defend

eaux Milburn.
The change was decided upon at a
meeting of the polo committee held at
the Meadowbrook Club to which IL. L.
Herbert, w. A. Hazard, August Belmont
Harry Payne Whitney. r. l.. Agasza and
other polosts We're present. After the
announcement much satisfaction was ex-
pressed among polo followers over | :
change in the lineup to its original form
and there seems to be feeling that the
defenders now have much better
chance. Experts seem to be of the opin-
ion that there is an even break as it now
stands-fve English players are as good
as the Americans and fully as well
mounted which makes the result of the
game simmer down to the factor of lucm.
This afternoon, there was a knock
about game on Phipps field, in which
the entire English team with Capt. e.
d. Miller, F. NJ. Freake, Lord Wode-
house, Capt. Whitney and the other
three players of the American team
took part. There was no regular play,
the men merely riding the ponies abou.
the field for an hour to keep in trim
and give the mounts air.
This morning, two teams lined up as
| the red and white for a practice game.
| Owing to the lawn being soft it was
decided to keep the crowd out and
within 90 minutes the Jericho Turn
| field and Roslyn road leading to the
field were blocked for a quarter of a
mile in every direction with automo-
biles. August Belmont attempted to
gain entrance to the grounds and when
ne explained who he was to the man
at the gate he was told Sure, every
body tells me that"
The gate was finally ordered opened
and the machines allowed inside the
ground.

the fighting spirit is flashed in rallies
that wrest victory from apparent de
feat. All opposing teams look alike to
the Athletics and it will require con-
eerted attack to check the winning
