Enalish line-Up

According to the latest private adj
vices received i'm this country, Lord
Wimborne's present intention is to
line IN the challenging British polo
team this year in this way:
No. 1.-Major Il. Mathew Lannowe.
No. Captain T.. w. Palmes.
No. captain +. w. Barrett.
No. 4-Captain V. Lockett.
Those who follow polo in England
closely consider this a stronger four
than that which nearly succeeded in
taking the international cup away last
summer. Captain Barrett, who has the
pivotal position, was easily the most
brilliant player in the English tourna-
mcnts last summer lie is in his right
place at No. 3, the position he plays
for his regiment and for the Quid-
nunes. Though Captain Mathew Lam
MOVIE plays No. for his regiment. he
is said to be good anywhere
Captain Palmes is very young and
has won big reputation as a hustler
since he was over here with the Brit
ish team i'm 1911. Captains Barrett
and Lockctt have also had consider
able experience i'm the American style
of play.
Magnificent horsemen and clever
players as they were, last years in
vading four lacked just little more
punch. We are promised that whether
they approve of them or not. TIE Eng
lishmen intend adopting American tao
tics with a vengeance next June.
