hasn't a very bad team. He has
talked much on the matter since his
selection and he is very optimistic, it
would seem.
Despite a lot of adverse criticism.
inspired chiefly by jealousy, this
years British polo team is the best
that could possibly be turned out, "
Captain Lockett is quoted as saying
in an interview. 81 honestly think
we are going to make the Americans
sit up this time. If we win the first
match America will have to bring
out the real big four and 1 think
Captain Whitney will be obliged to
play. Many Englishmen seem to find
recreation in adversely criticising our
institutions in sports. This is the
only reason for the pessimism over
this years combination. You see, it
is well balanced; much better, in fact.
than last year"
All of which sounds badly for the
American poloists who were just be-
ginning to think they were going to
have walk-over.

Captain Lockett, besides being
rather enthusiastic over the English
teams prospects, appears to think
that the Britishers are much better
fortified this time than they were the
last time, when their team was said
to be exceptionally formidable.
Il believe Cheape win be a bigger
success than Hunter at back" said
Captain Lockett "Tomkinson always
plays No. 2, Barrett always plays No
3, and, of course, Cheape is abso
lutely at home as back. The mere
fact that Tomkinson went on playing
in match last Saturday, when hi
had a shoulder injured, shows you the

Yours truly, JACKIE CLARK
There isn't much doubt but that
Clark had been worked on and had
been influenced not to race Kramer
Yet, if he hadn't really taken sick
Messrs. Million and MacFarland
would have insisted on Jackie living
up to his contract. If Clark rebelled
he would have been suspended, but
it is said he isn't keen on working
for the Cycle Racing Association, SO
that would perhaps have pleased him.
On more than one occasion Clark Is
said to have told the promoters they
could tear his contract up, but the
promoters have always allowed the
remarks to go over their heads. In
this particular case, however, Mr..
Million. who seems to have some real
nerve, was very positive in his atti-

Jackie Clark is sick, and there
fore his match billed for the Velo-
drome tonight against Champion
Frank Kramer has necessarily been
called off. Clark complained Of all
ing yesterday, and this morning DR..
Fischer. the track physician, and DR..
Vobel pronounced Clark's sickness a
case of tonsintis. Despite Clark's in
ability to be present, the opening
meet at the Veledrome will be held
tonight. as advertised, team match
between American and Australian
riders having been substituted by
General Manager Floyd MacFarland.
9
Rumor has been current ever since
Sunday. when it was announced at
the Velodrome that Kramer and
Clark would meet again Wednesday
night that Jackie wouldn't keep the
appointment, and yesterday Clark
talked the matter over with Frank
Million, the president of the Cycle
Racing Association, and Manager
MacFarland Clark called Million on
the telephone and Million turned
Jackie over to MacFarland Previous
to the telephone call both Million and
MacFarland had heard that good
friends down the street" were doing
their best to persuade Clark not to
race Kramer, but they paid no at
tention to the gossip. Word came to
me from good friends down the
street" that Clark wouldn't race, SO
it isn't likely that the match would
have taken place whether or no.
g
That Clark is being badly advised
there isn't any doubt, and that the
bad advice is coming from local
newspaper office is also equally true.
That's where the gossip that Clark
wouldn't ride Kramer Wednesday
night originated, and it came to me
from that very source yesterday.
Clark, before he had been taken sick,
called off his match with Kramer.
He told MacFarland over the phone
he wouldn't ride, but later on he evil
IDENTIFY realized his mistake, and
called up Million and told the pro-
moter he guessed he was hasty and
he would ride, Still later, though
Clark wrote MacFarland the follow
ing letter. declaring off the race:

CHILDS DISCUSSES
STATEHOUSE BILL
Says Ring Plans to Nullify sVer-

1t is certain that the voters of Vermont
are alive to the act of the last legislature

prlatlng 100000 for an addition to the
state house at Montpelier and bordering

future usefulness to the state house ring
If it should come back, and the Washing
ton county bunch The matter was sub
mitted by sreferendan and, passed upon BY
the voters Of the statesin the March town
meeting and they rejected the proposition
by decisive majority, as needless addi-
tional burden to the nearly two millions
Of state expenses in 1913. But according
TO the discredited state rings program
their def was set up when the voters of
the state disposed of this Questionable
act, by planning in advance to nullify the
verdict of the people if this measure were
rejected at the polls Upon the referen-
mating the action of the voters BY .declar-
ing that this act shall take effect July
1913.
The voters of Vermont have no use for
confidence men and they should teach
these nullifiers a wholesome lesson at the
polls next Tuesday An addition to the
state house could have no other result
than additional lounging and extended
sessions and the asked-for appropriation
would hardly lay the foundation for a
new structure, while subsequent appro-
priations would swell the total expense
fourfold. The Albany capitol was begun
with an appropriation of five millions,
but the S34 100000 elephant is the humil-
iation of the Empire states taxpayers,
who do not even find security within its
massive walls The proposed Vermont
