MECHANICS DROP CONTEST TO PONIES
 ON BATTERY ERROR
Ry wagner-o

The Mechanics won a game from Waterbury on a wild pitch last week, so they can't kick if they lost one to Springfield on 8 passed bell yester- day. The tragic part of 1t was that they went into the eighth inning with the score to in their favor. But Blossom Blum, who was doing the pitching couldn't hold the Ponies in check and they jolted him for four hits before a man was retired. Rapp was sent in and before he got the ball over, the visitors were ahead by 6 to g. Then the locals tied it in the eighth only to lose out in the ninth by T to 6.
 Blum looked as if he would have a good day until the eighth Then he suddenly collapsed. The Ponies had made only five hits and two runs until the explosion came. Rapp wasn't tap the ball over.
 Sandy Bannister started for Spring field. He escaped until the seventh when he was given 8 bad trimming. Justin went in but like Rapp he found trouble in getting 'em over. He re- ninth, though. Chief Snyder led the home talent at the bat with three Safe taps. He also made a fine catch off Waite in the first.
 After Springfield had rallied in the eighth and made the score 6 to, in it's favor, Bridgeport came back in the final half. Phillips walked and Stow bunted. Catcher Pratt hurled the ball to center field in trying to force Phil lips and Dusty kept on to the plate, but was nailed. Stow raced to third and scored on a wild pitch. In the ninth with one down, Young walked and took second on a wild pitch. He went to third on Cabrera's out and counted on a passed ball. The awful details:

ENORMOUS CROWD OUT TO
 SEE GREAT POLO MATCH
English Team Favored in Betting but Ameri-
 cans Are Hopeful

New York; June 10.-Fair weather brought out a great throng of sport loving persons today, for the first of the polo matches between United States and English teams for posses sion of the westchester cup. The tro- phy for many years has been regard ed as emblematic of the worlds s championship. and the enthusiasts test on Long Island today felt no doubt that the opposing four repre- sented the best combination of naaIlet wielders and mounts in the polo world today.
 By bridge and tube. by automobile and train the throng started, early today, for Westbury, L. l., where the Meadowbrook Country Club was pre- pared to accommodate the largest crowd that ever witnessed polo game here Additions to the stands which were in use when the American team defeated England. two years ago, had made 1t possible to care for nearly 0.000 persons, a crowd comparing fa- vorahly with those seen at many of the championship baseball games, aI- though polo as a sport has generally been regarded as limited in its follow ing As usual men and women of so- cfety circles were conspicuous in the crowds.
 Secretary of the Treasury William C. AEcAdoo was among those for whom a box had been reserved. while the Rice. was expected to be present to encourage the Kings men The Unit ed states army, which recently has taken up polo, was expected to be represented by Major General Thomas H. Barry. Major General Leonard

Wood, Col. Henry P. Allen and Col Charles T. Treat.
 The fashionable colonies at New port, Lenox and Tuxedo were repre- sented as practically depleted by the rush of society to the game and many came from more distant points. So many overnight changes had been feature was the center of the polo gossip. The final decision of the American Polo Association to put the old ''big four'' against the English cha1lengers developed a shortening of the odds reported in the betting, but the English quartet seemed to still rule a favorite.
 The lineup as agreed upon today in- cluded no, further changes, although there was st1l1 gossip of a proposal in the English camp to substitute Lord Wodehouse for Captain Vivian Lock ett at back It was doubtful however, that this move would be made in the first game. The lineup, therefore, stood as follows:
 America-No. 1, L.. Waterbury; No. g. J. M. Waterbury, Jr.; No. 8, IF F. Whitney: back, Devereaux Ailburn.
 England-No. 1, Captain L.. St. G. Cheape; RJo 3, Captain A Noel Ed wards; No. 3. Captain R. G. Rdtzon; back, Captain Vivian Lockett.
 The English playing contingent moved over today from the Piping Rock Club, where they have been practicing. to the Meadowbrook course. followed by a squad off ponies in charge of their groom.
 tled to begin until 4:S0 o'clock in the afternoon, there was much activity at the Neadowbrook quarters in prepara- ton for the fray.

VICTORY OF GOUX
 HELPS AUTO TRADE
OTHER FOREIGNERS WILL THINK THEX HAVE CHANGE TO
 WNROPHx.

When Eoux. the Frenchnan. won the internzt1onal hve-century gasoline grind at the speedway Friday he probably did the speedway more good than would have been the case if the winner had been an American car And, incidentally, he advertised Tndi- anapolis more so than would have been the case had a home car won the race.
 Gouxis winning Of the race will un- coubted1y be the means of rrafrins. sure foreign entries for next year. Goux did not set any precedent when he came across the pond to engage in competition with foreigners for the late Bruce Brown. Ralph De Palma and other Americans had engaged in foreign competition.
 Had the third B0o-mfle race been won by an American car after the French. the Engl1sh and the Beizian nations had sent men here it 71rsotfa- bly would have diScouraged foreign competition And just as cornpetition Is the life Of trade. so foreign com petition is the life of the racing game. and the more distant the entries are the better.
 Like the first gun at Lexington. dur ing the revolutionary war, the report of this race has gone round the world. Foreign drivers know that it is possi- n1e to win over here. And they know that the American people will cheer a winner. even though he be not an American The true sportsman recos- nizes no nationality.
 Goux deserves great credit for win ming the race and for taking the in termedfate prizes, By taking the in termediate prizes and the big prize, racing bugs feel sure that he has drawn some American auto makers out of their shells with the firm inten- ton of seeing that no foreigner holds the worlds championship race title next year and of being sure that the Wheeler & Schebler trophy stays on this side of the water after the race of next year
 One Of the famous drivers of this country said before the race that much as he should like to see an American car win the race, that he was sure that it would be better for Tor Indianapolis and Enmeasurably better for next years race if for eigner should win it. He even quail fled the assertion by adding if it were not possible for a foreigner with a foreign car to win, that the next best thing would be for a. foreign car with an American driver
 As it happened the French got first. the English fourth and the Belgians fifth Surely, no foreign entrant can go home and complain of unfaIrness.
 The French nation is probably firm in it's belief today that it can send a car over next year and capture the international race again The Ameri- can manufactures today is giving his 6gurative belt an extra hitch and say ing: 'FWe1l. if we had entered a car the result might have been different WeTu do that next race.'

kOuthelder Joe Briggs, the New Ion don player who was recently fined $1O0 and suspended for the season be- cause of his assault upon player Nea- lon, has written a penitent letter to President OtFaourke. He says he knows he did wrong by hitting Nea1on, but declares there are two sides to the story.
 Briggs claims the New London play CTS were sore at him and that when the team was playing in Waterbury the day before the trouble. nobody called him in the morning. The result was that he lost the train and had to pay his own fare back home. Ills wife expected him on the train with the other players and complications put Briggs in bad hunor when the game started. Briggs denies he kicked RIealon. but says the player had pre- viously complained of an injured leg. The suspended man asked President OeRourke to lift the suspension and impose a. small f1ne The chief exeCu- tive said he would not change his de- cision, however.

 James McAleer, the Simon IseEres of the Boston Americans, was born in Youngstown O., forty-ffVe years ago today, and began playing ball at the age of seven. It was just a quarter of a century ago that Jimmy made his professional debut in the Southern League. That circuit fell upon hard times and dfsbanded. and McAleer finished the 1888 season with Milwaukee, in the Western Assocfa- ton. He played a brilliant game in the Boer City garden. and the follow ing year was given a chance with the Cleveland Nationals. He remained with the Cleveland Nationals until 1899, except flor a brief experience with the Cleveland Players League team. During the decade of his dia- mond activity he was the star oUtheld- CT of the National League.
 When the American League Waa launched, McA1eer became manager of the Cleveland club. The following year, when the Milwaukee team was transferred to St. Louis, Jimmy as stunned the management of the Browns. He built up a team that came near winning a pennant, but, suddenly and unaccountably, it went to pieces, and McAleer quit in dis gust. His next managerial berth was with Washington, long the joke of the league, although managed by such good men as Jake Stah1 and Joe Can tillon.
