CAPT. VIVIAN LocKETT, OF THE ENGLISH POLO TEAM

ceives all the money he wins in prizes.
Clark's contract calls for him to race
where and when we tell him to. We
are not supposed to consult him about
races at all, and he is supposed to be
| in condition to race at all times.
After he had defeated Kramer, our
manager, Mr.. mcfarland, had re-
turn match arranged for Wednesday
night. That was our program, but
Clark's illness prevents US from car
rying it out. The Cycle Racing Asso-
citation is going to run the races at
the Velodrome and we are not going
to allow any riders or any newspaper
70 tell US how to conduct our bust
ness. Clark is a great rider and If he
was allowed to manage his own
affairs there would never be any
trouble. We give the public the best
men we can secure both in this eoun-
try and abroad, and We feel that the
patrons of the Velodrome receive their
moneys worth. If Clark is not salts
fed to race for us, he can do just as
he pleases. If he can make more than
S., 900 in six months at any other busi-
ness. will be the first one to wish
him luck But if he is to work for us
/ he must do as he is told. We are pay
ing him well for his services"

/ More hard luck for the Cycle Racing
/ Association. A cablegram from Paris
states that Caesar Moretti, the Italian
/ sprinter, fell in a race there Sunday
and sustained a broken wrist. Moretti
! is under contract with the Cycle Rae
i ing Association and was to have
sailed yesterday FOR America. The
cable also states that he will be I'M
able to sail before June and will
have to return early in August, but
is willing to have the contract
/ changeds to September and October.
The Italian riders injury will be a
/ keen disappointment TO the fans,
Manager Floyd MacFarland cabled
Victor Dupre, of France, former
worlds champion. for terms, and if
Dupre can be secured the Moretti
contract will probably be cancelled.

England may beat us when it comes
up to the polo matches this year, but
at no time in the history of the con-
tests have the chances of America
looked so particularly bright Really
taking what you hear about our tear
and what you hear about the foreign
team into consideration, the matches
to be played are all over but the
f. shouting. This state Of affairs is
likely to cause suspicion, for in The
matches last year and two years pre-
yious the Englishmen We're supposed
to be most formidable and very pos
sible winners, yet the L. S. A. foul
PLAYED the foreigners to o standstil
and won all the way Conditions haY
changed, Though, and England il
looked upon as having a rather poo
show to win. Now that brings j
another argument. On two OCCASION
England was the logical favorite
even though the matches were hel'
in this country, out America, al
everybody knows, carried off tn
honors. Giving all this seriou
thought, perhaps now that Bingham
is believed to be so badly off, perha'
America will be the one to prove III
goat"

The addition of Captain Cheape t
the English polo team was locke
upon as a very good stroke and whe
Captain Vivian Lockett was secure
as a reserve man for the Britisher
the complexion of the challengers fo
the International Cup took on
much healthier hue. Both CHEAP
and Lockett played here in the oths
matches and their playing, above II
others, stood out in bold relief.
Lockatt despite others to the cor
