AMERICANS CHANGE
LINEUP FOR SECOND
OF POLO MATCHES
Betting Odds Change But Little,
However, and Challengers
Remain Favorites

Meadowbrook Club, Westbury, l.. L..
June 16.-The International polo field
was in fine shape this afternoon and
announcement was made that, barring
more rain before o'clock, the second
game between America and England
would be played. Last nights rain, it
was said, improved the field.
Members of both the British and
American teams We're ready to take to
the field for the second match the
former anxious to clnch their claim
to the cup and the defenders to even
up matters and thus force the visitors
to a third game to decide the ultimate
victory. There is to be no change in
the lineup of the British team for the
second contest, but on the American
team, while the same players are re-
tanned. there is a change in their po-
sitions. DevereuX Milburn is placed at
his old position at back and Lawrence
Waterbury at No. 3, thus transposing
the two men from their positions in
the first match.
This new lineup of the American
team has restored confidence among
their admirers, although the betting
odds have changed but little. The
challengers are still the favorites to
win the second match, the odd re-
naming at to 1.

Women Will Compete
in Olympic Events;
Some Opposition
.SbccidI to The Tclcprath

Paris, France, June 16.-The dele
gates from the United States to the
International Olympic Congress stood
hand in hand with those from Turkey
Japan and France yesterday at the
opening session of the congress when
they voted against the eligibility OF
women to compete at the Olympic
games. All the other twenty eight
countries, represented by some zoo
delegates voted in favor of the Ger
man proposition that women be al
lowed to compete. TIL English pro-
posal that points gained by women
should be counted in calculating the
position of the various nations also
was adopted.
James E. Sullivan, head of the
American delegation, explained on be-
half of the United States that he and
his fellow delegates had come to the
congress with mandate to vote
against the women.
In the course of the discussion there
was some comment on American ac-
tion in the matter.
A suggestion from Sweden which
attracted attention was that women
should organize a series of exclusively
feminine Olympic games to. be held
between the quadrennial Olympic
games for men.
