The International Matches.

The eleventh hour shake-up in the American polo
team is amazing and disturbing news. Every one
knew that the old "bg four" were not coming along
AZ well as had been hoped. But provision had
been made for developing a second team And the
present sweeping change Of plan has all the APP
pearance Of a desperate and forlorn hope.
So little has the public been Informed Of the
actual facts behind the change that it is difficult
10 speak fairly of the situation. The four is
composed of excellent players. With adequate work
ing out together they might have formed team Of
the highest class. But polo, probably more than
any other game requires team play Of instructive
and unerring accuracy. To develop in few days
such concert among four players who have had
almost no practice together calls for an achievement
little short Of the miraculous.
With chances So materially reduced In the
polo contest. we must fall back upon brighter
hopes in the tennis matches for the Davis cup.
The Australian team is unquestonaby strong, and
we shall be lucky to pull through ahead. But the
new doubles team, cannily uniting the briancy of
Mclaughlin with the crafty wisdom Of Hackett,
has been developed In astute fashion. And in the
singles we have an even better chance

Commissioner Willams's Retirement

President Wilson does more than justice TO
both the man and the place in his comments upon
Mr. Williamss resignation of the office OF Commits
Sioner of immigration at this port 1t Is indeed
one Of the most delicate and onerous positions IN
the government service partly because Of the I'M
satisfactory state Of the immigration laws, partly
because Of the enormous volume Of the alien Influx
and partly because Of the incessant and intimate
dealing with the human and personal factor which
is involved.
Equally true is it that Mr.. Williams's service has
been conscientious and peculiarly intelligent He
has seemed have other purpose during his ten
IRE under three administrations than To do his work
rs well as possible The physical transformation Of
Ellis Island which he has effected, from dreary in
Sular wilderness TO place of taste and attractive
ness is not more marked than the improvements and
reforms which he has made in the conduct Of his
office Without reflection upon other capable men
who preceded him, the general judgment Of Informed
observers will be that he has been the whole the
best Commissioner Of immigration this port has had
