If YOUR partner is new 10 you and
happens to play badly it is best TO en-

An unsportsmanlike attitude and

PROMISED IN POLO

ginning This Week,
Has Many Entries.

Entries for the three national cham

events at the Point Judith Country
Club, Narragansett Pier, from July 20

cate a season of close contests, sharp
ened by the selection Of a team TO go
abroad should a challenge be sent to
the Nottingham Club for the Inter
national Polo Cup for match for the
trophy next spring.
The senior championship and pos

trophy is held for the year by the
winning team, and the Polo Associa-
ton adds individual prizes, 10 be won
outright. The Cooperstown, Meadow

have entered.
The senior championship title and
possession Of the Joseph B. Thomas
cup will be played for during the week
Of July q. Only the Cooperstown and
Meadow Brook teams are entered, but
the lists are still open, in the eXpec-
tation Of an entry from abroad.
All the championships are played
without handicaps, with the exception
Of the junior, and the possession Of
the S. D. Warren trophy is for teams
whose aggregate handicap does not OK
coed twenty goals. on which no player
may have handicap over five goals.
There are five teams entered Point
judith. Aiken Tigers, Meadow Brook
Nagpies. Bryn Mawr and the Phla-
delphia Country Club. The competi-
ton probably will be during the third
week Of the commandments 3

Cooperstown IS the present holder
Of the three titles, a record never
made before by any club. The team is
not in the junior this year, as the CON
d;tions debar three Of the players. Last
year Cooperstown's men were not so
highly rated, and the team gained
eligibility By substituting F. H. Prime,
ir, for Stevenson.
The minor events will include the
Rathborne Memorial. Army and Navy
and Atlantic cups-the latter the gift
Of William A. Hazard.

When the men returned 10 the court
Bundy seemed to have regained his

Pell Takes Service.
Pell took his own service in the open

his service, and then the national cham

work ran into lead OF games 20 ,.
Then it was that Behr experienced
another of his unbeatable streaks, dur

had the lead at games to 3.
The games varied, until Pell and
Behr broke through again and took the
fifteenth and sixteenth games 10 win

With the set score even the excite

Pell and Behr were not to TO be so

The total point score was 225 for
Mclaughlin and Bundy and 222 for Pell

Il is the consensus Of opinion among
the local boxing enthusiasts that the
State Athletic Conn ission should m
vestigate the action OF Billy job, reg
cree of the Stadium Athletic Club, IN
allowing the bout between Battling
jim Johnson and Joe Jeanette to 90
on after the fist round. job pleaded
the excuse that he took his action in
order 70 prevent any unsatisfactory
finish to the bout. This was inter-
preted by many as meaning that Jean
nette had really been fouled. surely,
Joh would not refuse to count JEAN
nette out merely because he is greet
fighter and his opponent comparitive
novice.
But in any event Jon was wrong for
taking his action. If Johnson 'Yas
GUILTY OF a foul ne should have been
DISQUALIFIED Immediately. II the punch
was fair he had 10 other course than
to count over Jeanette until ten
seconds we're Up. There is nothing in
the rules which vests the referee With
power 20 allow man three minutes
or three seconds for that matter
in order 20 recover from the effect
OF n punch. foul or otherwise.
As matter OF fact, the punch that
felled Jeanette was no more foul than
that which beat Jim Corbett at Carson
Citv on March II, 1897. The right hand
wailop that sent Joe TO the mat was
the eliminating stroke or . vo!ley OF
terrific punches which landed just be-
low the break OF the ribs. No human
being could have stood up under that
fusillade Of punches. The wonder is
that Jeanette was able to continue the
battle az all.

Officials on the Courts.

II is simple matter TO look up the
rules in the tennis ANIMALS. and every
tournament player should make it his
or her business TO study the books and
learn most Of the rules. Yet how few
reallv do. OF course. the umpire's word
il law or should be so. but he is not
infallible. However, il possible, 1t Is
better never to let him know you doubt
his Judgment If he is reasonably good.
When there are linesmen nothing
should be said az all. They are there
20 aid the umpire and their decisions
should never be questioned, and If
mistakes are made they probably will
even I'D at the end OF the match.
The umpire should always be
thanked for scoring. At its best um-
hiring is thankless job, and the much
abused official should be more appre-
ciated. A good umpire can sometimes
hold n match together and help the
game considerably b. being firm.
Players should make II a pom; 20 kno"
who their partners and opponents IN
matches are. so that games do not con-
0ict. and If the referee should happen
10 make IA mistake in arranging the
next days schedule player ought 20
be able TO point out the error at once
and save complications.
Many contestants forget to pay thei"
entry fees, and this is one of the nrst
things a player should attend to, so
