CAPT. L0CkETT HAS
JOINED POLO TEAM
ENGIISHMAN WILL COME OUT IN
SEARCH OF INTERNATIO
CUP.

NEW YORK, May 1s-The an
nouneement by cable that Captain
Vivian Lockett had joined the team
of British polo players, and will come
out in search of the international cup,
caused considerable discussion today
among the men identified with the
sport The general idea was that the
inclusion Of Lockett in the line -up
would be Of considerable advantage to
the challengers and would Increase
their chances of success.
Captain Lockett was one of the team
which came here last year and played
such q good game in his position that
Lord Wodehouse, who came as a sub
stitute back, was discarded for the
big matches
With a capable back like Lockett on
the team, the Engiishmen will be able
to rearrange their lineup In such a
way that 1t will present dangerous
combination for America to confront.
The general idea gained from the
latest recruits admission to the ranks
OF PLAYERS is that the English team
will be made up as follows:
No /, Captain Cheape; No. 2, Cap
tain Bingham; No. g. Major Barrett;
back, Captain Lockett,
This will make a strong team, and
one that will require the best efforts
