Polo Team After All

have much faith in tho players. and
with a favorable break in the luck we
could win. But I'm sorry cannot say
It will be the very best four that Eng
land could put in the field. What had
hoped for was the combined effort here
the best in English polo. thought well
of the combination / evolved in Spain.
but the unfortunate matter Of Captain
Iocketts disablement worked havoc
with my plans On practice form TO
date, I admit frankly that w s. Buck
masters four is much superior. and
should have liked to see It in action at
Meadow Brook"
In an attempt TO bring about this de-
sire, Lord Wimborne asked Buckmas-
ter to luncheon to-day at Wimborne
House. They were together for two
hours, but Buckmaster finally decided
not to go, although Lord Wimborne
offered to put the team entirely in his
hands. Lord Wimborne was content
TO foot the bills.
There seem to be three factions in
English polo at loggerheads. The gen.
eral feeling OF the public is that Lord
Wimborne has shown himself a good
sportsman.
Lord Wimborne's chief regret Is that
the matches could not be postponed
until fall. by which time his team
could have gone through the English
! season together. He hopes in the case
Of being successful this time that the
American Polo Association will ar
range things so that in future the
matches may be played at Meadow
Brook in October.
Thirty-fve ponies will sail on Satur-
day on the steamer Minneapolis. The
team with Lord and Lady Wimborne
will sail on the Carmania on May %.
There will be practice tomorrow at
birmingham. On Wednesday the chal-
lengers will play Buckmaster's four at
Bury Park, the private grounds Of
Leopold de Rothschild. Arrangements
were made by cable to-day for two
practice matches at Meadow Brook on
June and D.
American polo enthusiasts should not
underrate the challengers. 1t is a good
all around four in fine condition. Major
Barrett is a star, II. a. TompkinSon
and Major Hunter are good. but Major
Bingham looks as though he would be
weak in his hard position. Wimborne
plays a mighty fair game himself He
held down No. on his Quidnunce COM
bination, that last season cleaned up
at the English tournament.
When asked about Buckmaster. Lord
Wimborne said that there was no last
minute invitation. but that he had re-
quested him to come out for the Eng
fish team as long ago as last October.
Buckmaster is not wealthy man, and
gives business his reason for not being
able to go.

Not the Strongest That
England Could Send.
rBv Gable TO The Tribune. ]

London, May ia sensational Gil
max came to the English polo situation
tonight. when Lord Wimborne, laying
bis cards on the table, announced that
he would take a team to America al
though he knew it was not the strong
est England should send.
After a conference with the Hurting
ham Club committee lasting many
hours Lord Wimborne said that the
following players would leave for the
United states on May %: No. l, II. A
Thompkinson; No. ., Major j. y d.

him.

w appreciated, but regret l do not feel
justified in accepting unless I can play
with Buckmaster's birmingham team.
Too late to get in with strange play
ers."
This proves The Tribune's story cor
rect from the beginning.
English polo circles are rent Win
petty jealousy and are unable to put
the strongest team possible in the field
against America for this reason. one
strong factor in Lord Wmborne's 1e-
cision to go through with the match
was a score of cable messages received
to-day from American polo enthusiasts
and the American Polo Association
telling Of the disappointment ana
financial losses that would result from
the cancellation Of the match.
England always will be handicapped
in the attempt to recover the cup" said
Lord Wimborme, until we try for 1t on
national basis, with cooperation
! from all, instead Of sending out team
that is not our strongest. I realize the
team which will play at Meadow Brook
must be the under dog in the odds.
ION the basis Of the showing in prac-
tice here it does not look strong enough
to beat the Big Four Nevertheless, 1t
is a good all around four and will play
creditably."

CAPTAIN WATERBURY
GETS AN UGLY FALL
Indications Point to H. c. Phipps
Being Fourth Man on the Four
to Meet England.

Aligned rs tho Whites and the Reds,
tho candidates for the international polo
team had their first practice game on
Long Island yesterday. using the private
field of J. S. Phipps, at Westbury.
]. NJ. Waterbury. jr.. was captain Of
the Whites. and II. c. Phipps. Devereux
NHlbvrn and /. Waterbury completed the
team; while c. c. Rumsey, r. La Mon
tagne. Foxhall p. Keene and Malcolm
Stevenson were the Reds. except that
J. s. Phipps took Rumseys place in the
fifth period. and the latter came back In
the seventh TO replace Keene.
IL was the best game OF the season.
and. barring some errors in direction that
seemed to be without excuse, the play
was quite up 10 international class. The
only goal in the first three chukkers was
by Rumsey for the Reds. and as Phipps
had been penaliZed for a foul hook and
there was a safety against Stevenson the
tally TO begin the fourth period was IN
favor OF the Reds by three-quarters Of a
goal to minus one-half. Yet the Whites
won by ~ to Ia goals.
The opinion on the side lines was that
the international four stood revealed yes
terday and that, barring accidents, there
will be no change from the formation
when II. L. Whitney and the committee
announce the defending team.
Captain Waterbury met with n mishap
in the third period and every one held
their breath for fear the pony would roll
on him. lie turned too quickly in a
scramble for the ball and the pony went
down. Waterbury hit the turf first with
his right shoulder and arm. but as the pony
laid still the only harm done was 10 rub
the skin off his right elbow. Waterbury
was on his feet quickly and walked over
to the pony tents to be bandaged up.
ANY harm done?" cried out H. p.
Whitney as he walked out to meet him.
NO. have only scratched my funny
bone" was the captains reply, with a
grin. lie was back in the game ten min
utes afterward and made the next goal.

the line as usual.

Sell Bonds to the PeopIe.-When
the bankers took hold of New York
city's debt to European holders Of N.
Y. bonds, which were about to be-
come due, the bankers had the inter
est rate raised from AZ per cent on
the old obligations to per cent on
the new. On an issue of about $780,
OOO,00 this increases New YOrk's in
terest charge about million and a
half a year.
Chicago is in much better financial
condition, because her debt is less
than S25,OOO,OOO, while New York's
is over S1,OO0,OOO,OO0 But there is
already talk of what the bankers will
insist on if more municipal bonds are
issued here.
st. Paul has shown the way. The
city sells it's bonds direct to the peo-
pie.
Chicago can do the same. If the
bankers insist on five or six per cent
here, let the city issue it's bonds in
denominations of $50 and S100-or
even as low as $10-and sell them to
the people.
If the city must pay 5 or 6 per cent
on a public debt, it would be better
to pay it to the people than to some
body else; and the people will be
better off investing their savings in
bonds paying 5 or 6 per cent than
getting 8 per cent from savings
bank.

Of course, the owner pays taxes
