back home, and they are not of1erlhS
any excuses for the poor showing OF
the Yankee boys. That Is one dig
consolation-no excuses to offer. And
why should they have? Our very best
players. including the reliable Jerry
Travers and the sensational Francis
Oumet, had a fair and even chance
to show their superior skill in the
championship at Sandwich. They
weren't there-thats all. They had
delightful time and they perhaps
have learned a lot more about golf
than they ever knew. They will go
over there again, most likely, and
they are sure to do better. But this
time they were a badly beaten lot.

Three American cup defenders are
racing off Sandy Hook today in or
der to bring to light the yacht with
the most speed. Other races will also
be held, and it is believed that the
fastest boat will eventually be Sc
lected. However, the opinion is prev
alent that the Resolute will be select
ed. The Vanitie, which has shown
more speed than the Resolute, is in
the race today, and the Defiance, be-
lieved to be the fleetest of the three,
is making her first appearance. We
want a boat which will win-which
will defeat Sir Thomas Lipton's
freakish Shamrock ", and it is to be
hoped that the fastest craft, all
things considered, will be selected.
The Resolute appears to have the best
chance, though, although maybe the
Defiance will show so much speed that
the committee will be unable to over
look her.
When the American polcists shifted
/ the match set for yesterday over until
/ Saturday, because OF an injury to
Captain Cheape, highlands best
player, they were only returning
favor that the Britons had proffered
the Yankees during the match In
London in 1909 On that occasion the
very able Devereux Milburn was In
| jured previous to the second game,
and the birmingham Club, un-
solicited, offered to postpone the con-
test for a few days. The Americans
were very thankful, but they decided
to 60 ahead with the game, as they
were afraid their ponies would go
stale All this is given publicity by
Mr.. Milburn himself, who is DESTROYS
to show that England has just as
good sports in her polo circles as have
the U. s. A. 1t was nice of the Eng
lish sports to show such a spirit, and
it was nice of the American poloists
to reciprocate in kind, but it was
surely great for Mr.. Milburn to let
the world know at this time all the
news of the affair.

OF course, everybody knows that
the first polo match will be held on
Saturday, but the new thing in polo
is that the date of the second match
game, If necessary, will be held on
Saturday, June 90 1t is not believed
that the postponement will cut a
figure one way or the other in the
outcome of the matches. The Yam
KEGS are a 10 to 6 favorite for the
first game, and the same odds are be-
ing bet that they will win the match
The English four is playing very wei
, in practise, but it is believed that
they will not be able to show much
team work when it comes down tc
actual play. On the other hand the
Americans, with only one change II
their lineup, are expected to play
well together, even If their play Is
!, not superior. We should win.
