SELECT LINEUPS
FOR POLO MATCH
Teams Which Finished First
Game Picked to Start To-
morrow's Contest.

New York, June 13.-There is every
probability that the American and
English polo teams will line up for
the second game on Saturday just as
they were playing when the referees
whistle ended the first match won by
America on Tuesday But this was by
no means a certainty, as there is a
chance that the Britishers may yet de-
eide TO put in Lord Wodehouse at
back instead of Captain LQckett.
After a days rest from She worry of
the game Captain Harry Payne Whit
ney returned yesterday with his mind
set on arranging the defending four
in the most effective way possible.
Every combination that could work
for the good of the American team was
suggested TO the captain of the big
four by one or another of the leading
poloists of the country who have been
working hand in hand with Mr.. Whit
ney for the defense of the cup.
The lineup with Deveroux Milburn
at No. and Malcolm Stevenson at
back had many supporters, but the
trend of opinion was that Milburn
could not be spared from the back po-
sition in view OF the determined at
lacks made by the Englishmen at the
close of Tuesdays game. It, then came
down to a question of whether Larry
Waterbury should remain in his orig
| inal place at No. l or whether he
should drop from back TO No ? and al
| low Leonard, Stoddard to assume the
sponsibilities of leading the attack
against England.
! There were some who held out for
! Waterbury remaining in the lead of
| the American team, and these also
/ held out for the placing of Rene la
/ Montague "a No. 2 The argument in
/ favor Of this lineup was that Larry
Waterbury would have chance to du.
plicate the rapid fire goal shooting
/ which swept the Englishmen off their
! feet al the beginning Of the first game
It was not until late last night that il
was finally decided 10 let the chances
for another American victory rest with
the team just as it finished on Tues
day.
So far as official notification goes
the Englishmen also decided to stand
pat last night. but this announcement
was qualified by saying that a change
might be announced today. That sucf
a change is possible was indicated by
the practice of the Britishers OF
Phipps' field yesterday. The regula
