Polo Association Meets to
Discuss English Challenge

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The Amer
lean Polo Association Will lose no
time in acting upon the challenge re-
ceived last night from the Hurting
ham Club, Of England for the inter-
national cup, requesting that the
matches be played In this country not
later than June /, 1914. II. l.. Her
bert, the chairman of the associa-
TONS executive committee, called a
meeting for today to take up the first
consideration of the challenge. 1t
was not expected that the matter of
dates would be Immediately settled,
but 1t was taken as a foregone con-
clusion that the challenge would be
accepted quickly and that the ar
rangements would be completed with
out any pickering over details.
In polo circles 1t is believed that
Harry Payne Whitney will undertake
leadership of the preparations for the
defense OF the cup, but that Larry
Waterbury is likely to become the
real commander when the team goes
onto the field. 1t is assumed that the
same men who successfully defended
the cup last year viii participate in
the practise for the next matches.

Team Managers Get Less Sleep
Than Actual Competitors
in Race.
NEVILLE WIZARD OF GAME
But Old Charley TurviIIe Is
Dean of Unsung Heroes of
GruelIing Struggle.

The race that was the hardest on
the trainers was the contest of 1909,
which was won by Clark and Rutt.
When Clark and the German rider
formed new team following injuries
to their original mates they were two
laps behind the field On Thursday
morning they started a jam" that
lasted for seven hours. 1t was the
greatest series of sprints ever seen In
the Garden, and, while the riders, with
the exception of Rutt and Clark, were
in bad shape, as a result of the fiend-
ish riding, nearly all of the trainers
collapsed. After the Australian Ger
man pair had gained one lap and had
battled for hours to gain another
Hunter, who was handling Moran, adj
vised Jimmy to let Rutt and Clark get
up on even terms, stating that four of
his trainers had collapsed and he could
last but a short time himself. Realiz-
ing that he could not go on without
his corps of trainers, Moran stopped
chasing Rutt and Clark and they got
their second lap Immediately.
1t is common occurrence for train
ers to run out of the Garden, never to
return, as q result of a state of eX-
haustion that becomes unbearable.
Husky Frank Cavanagh tried it one
year and he quit, and MacFarland
threw UP the sponge in a Berlin race
after three days in the capacity of a
handler. II thought there was moth
ing more tiresome than riding six
day race" declared big Mac" when
he quit, but training is twice as hard.
Occasionally a rider will become
trifle "dippy" In race, but the train
ers go positively mad. Neville and
Hunter go off in every race and fight
with everybody except their riders
They are often seen in front Of the
referee and and scorers stand doing
an Overlook act. This is usually the
result of poor pick-ups in the Jams.
For comedy they have Weber ard
Fields backed off the boards, but 1t
is tragic with the two famous train
ers.
This year Hunter will handle Root
and Moran, Neville will look after the
welfare of Hill and Ryan, Lawrence
and Magin and Halstead and Dro-
bach, with "Chick" Harris assisting
him. Turville will have two teams,
Collins and Walthour and Grenda end
Moran. Dave Coburn will have the
entire foreign camp to look after.
which will include seven teams. Fred
Diver and Frank Calvin will be be-
hind Clark and Hehir.
These trainers are paid handsomely
for their work, and the longer their
teams are in the race the more money
they are paid. That is one reason why
they fight so hard for their charges,
but they are glory-see ars Just like
the riders, and the honor of manag-
ing a winning team is almost MS great
an incentive as the money remunera-
ton.

Montclair Expert Will Compete

sion. Turville's methods are not a
secret. He will set a certain time for
his team or teams to "go" and they
never fail to "go" at the moment set
1t is usually early in the morning, at
the hour when the human vitality is
at its lowest ebb. Last year he told
Grenda and Pye to be ION their way
for a lap when the big clock on the
towers of the Metropolitan building
struck six Wednesday morning. He
gave the riders their instructions at
midnight and this gave him six hours
to get them ready for their efforts.
About 8 o'clock the skylights in the
Garden were opened to air the build
ing and when the first clear note from
the big bell sounded, Grenda was on
his way. He caught the field asleep
and had half lap before the rest of
the riders realized that something
positively serious was taking place.
Pye picked Grenda up and increased
the teams lead. Grenda came on
again and the coveted lap was almost
gained when a big smash-up put an
end to the jam" Turville pulls this
trick every year, but he changes
the day and the hour, which keeps the
trainers, who are familiar with his
methods. uneasy at all times.

Princeton Will Make Bid
to Capture Hockey Laurels

PRINCETON, Dec. 5.-Another sue
cessfnl hockey season is practically
assured for the Tigers during the COM
ing winter months by the return to
the ice of Captain w. S. Kuhn and
"Hobey" Baker, backed by three
others of the seven, which finished a
close second to Harvard for the in
tercollegiate title last winter.
1t is thought that even better re-
suits can be had by actual games
against strong second team than by
the professional coaching, and at
least two full teams will go to the ST.
Nicholas rink, New York, on Tuesday
and Saturday evenings of each week.
C. n. Peacock, captain of the 1910
Tiger championship seven, and c. q.
Balm, a member of the same team,
assisted in the coaching last week dur
ing two preliminary slSirmishes and
will help with large part of the work
during the rest of the season.
The schedule is not definitely conf
pleted yet, but the season will open in
a game against st. Paurs School on
December is, and will include the
usual series of three games each
against Harvard and Yale.

Pittsburgh, is the technical leader.
with 1000 for twenty-five games

ing pitchers of the league, with q
perfect percentage for forty-seven

AItrocIx Has New Job.

Nick Altrock, five years ago one OF
the best-known pitchers in the Amerl-
can League, was hustling boards and
scantling In a lumber yard near the
White Sox ball park yesterday. Be-
fore getting the job in the lumber
yard Altrock was given work by the
White Sox groundkeeper as a member
of gang sodding the outfield. For
this he received forty cents an hour.
Altrock still is a member of the
Washington Americans, but he was
hard hit by Ban Johnson's edict
against COMEDY on the coaching
lines. He hopes to work with the
washingtons again next season, and
says he will try to get his arm in
shape to work in the box.

EBBETS, R., FAYORS AN INLAND CAMP
FOR CHAMPIONS SPRING TRAINING

Charles II. Ebbets, jr., new presi-
dent of the Newark Club, favors an
inland training camp for the Tigers.
He has had several years experience
with the Brooklyn team on training
trips and says he has always found
that it does not benefit the pitchers
much to get in shape where the coast
winds hit their wings.
ut is particularly difficult for play
ers from the West, who have never
been near the Atlantic coast, to train
when they first come East" says Eb-
bets, jr "The wind stiffens their
muscles and they imagine for long
time that they have colds in their
arms. In some cases 1t takes West
ern player whole season to be-
come acclimated."

when the transfer of the New Bedford
club to the possession of Fred Lake
was approved. Lake was authorized
to remove the club either to Manches-

smith to Wear Full Armor.

II Harry Smith can shake off the
link which kept him on the red cross
list a good deal of the 1918 season,
the Tiger leader will catch a major
ity of the games for the champions
next season. Smith never wore shin
guards, and this was one of the rea-
sons why he was frequently nipped
by foul tips. Harry's narrow escape
last fall in Jersey City, when a foul
tip from Blair's bat come close to
shattering his kneecap, has made him
a bit wary, and he will wear the
regulation armor next season. Smith
and Higgins were among the very
few International League catchers
who did not wear shin guards to pro-
tect them from the enemies spikes or
foul tips.

that the surest way for a magnate to

to perform the business in broad day

who our next manager would be.
Robinson walked into the office at
Ebbets Field at noon a week before
1t was officially announced that he
had signed. Nobody saw him, and, if
they did, nobody thought anything of
Robinson's visit Had he come over
