meeting, when those in attendance

the voters of the district were present
at the meetings.

SPORT AT $26,6OO A DAY
BIG CHANGES IN AMERICAN
TEAM; FRICTION REPORTED

NEW YORK, June 5.-American
polo enthusiasts to-day had not re-
covered from the shock experienced
last night when the announcement of
the lineup Of the American polo team
showed that three of the regulars had
rot been included. Rumors were cur
rent all day that friction was the
cause Of Harry Payne Whitney, l..
Waterbury and J. NJ. Waterbury being
supplanted by FOxhall Keene, L E.
Stoddard and Malcolm Stevenson, but
these were denied by all concerned.
The only explanations offered were
that the shift was made for the best
interests OF the American team and
also because some OF the regulars
were in rather poor health.
Keene, who has been playing polo
for 80 years and is now an old man
as polo players go, will captain the
Americans, in place OF Whitney, and
play position No. 3; Stoddard will
play No 1 Devereaux Milburn. who
las recovered from the injuries sus-
tanned In practice Saturday. will play
No. 2, and Stevenson will play back.
There is much debate to-day as to
whether the change has strengthened
the American team, but the general
opinion is that II has not.

III HE boxing bout at the Atlanta
Auditorium Armory on Friday
night, June 10, viii bring to-
gether in an Atlanta ring the tough
est heavyweight in the world and the
cleverest heavyweight in the world.
Nobody would argue that any
heavyweight was as tough as Jim
Flynn. He is the Battling Nelson
of the Heavyweight Division" which
is an honorable title.
In many ways the careers OF Nell
son and Flynn were similar. Both
were tough and scrappers from the
heart. Both have given the public
their best in every bout. Both found
their paths to fame obstructed by a
dense black cloud. The only differ
ence was that Nelson disposed Of his,
while Flynn didn't. At that, Jim has
always said he would have won over
johnson If the affair had not been
stopped.
Flynn is one Of those weird per-
formers who comes right back after
a knockout. He has been given the
K. O. decision, technically or in real
earnest, time and again. Yet, after
a dozen years of scrapping he is to-
day at the apex of the pile and going
strong. Perhaps never in his career
has he shown to better advantage
than he did in his last bout.
Flynn, like Nelson, seems immune
from pain. They can hammer him
all day in the same spot and he comes
back for more. He isn't any Joe
Grim at that, for he is clever enough
and doesn't Intentionally absorb any
punishment. But II he has to take
II he does Il without flinChing and
II the "ates decree a knockout against
him It has to be a cold knockout or
interference by the referee TO stop
him, for he hasn't had enough" yet
in any scrap
Jim Flynn is not any more remark
able for his tOughness than Savage is
for his cleverness. They all award
the palm to Savage. He is the best
in the lot When he and Flynn meet
they viii give the spectators ten
rounds Of warm happenings.

IF racing is the sport Of kings, polo
is the sport Of millionaires. Any

insignificant Indian potentate or a
ruler OF a Balkan State, with pock-

a racing stable, but only a man of
great wealth can afford to maintain

horses, n they are fast. can earn their
keep and make a profit for their own

an expense from the day he is bought
until the day Of his death. The only
thing he can earn Is a modicum OF
glory and a few cups which as n
rule do not cost as much as his sad
die and bride From this II may be
CLEANED that between racing and polo

penses for the polo challenger viii
amount to 100000 All this for the
sake OF a silver trophy worth $4,000.
The cost OF polo depends largely
upon the inclination and desire OF
the poloists to spend money. Some
men can enjoy the sport at an outlay
Of a few hundred dollars a week.
while others win spend as many thou

the Polo Association, recently said
In reference TO the cost Of polo: 1T
all depends on how much a man wish %

may be satisfied to own and main
tain three ponies. while another will
want al least thirty at his command.
The expense is much like that Of the

that he has expended in the neighbor-
hood OF S125,000 for ponies alone.
One OF his ponies cost him $500
This was the high water mark paid
for any pony, but many good ponies
have cost $4,000. The Duke Of West
minister has spent in the neighbor-
hood Of $125,O00 for his aggregation
OF ponies. The ponies that will be
used in the international matches will
be made up in large part OF those
owned by Mr.. Whitney and the Duke
OF Westminster. Several ponies,
however, have been donated for the
use Of the players by various Ameri-
cans and Englishmen who are inter
