NEW YORK. That the English
polo enthusiasts intend to make bold
attack for the international Cup this
year Is emphasized by the fact that
the foreign players have been pfactis-
ing for some time In Madrid. The
team win also be gathered from the
large field Of players that exists In
English possessions, which Tar ex-
coed the number who might be termed
experts In this country.
England was ioath to lose the polo
honors. as it Is about the only sport In
which the British have the semblance
Of Q chance to uphold the dignity OF
the country In the line OF athletics,
with the possible exception OF golf.
English. determination to win hack
the cup Is more pronounced this year
than It ever was, as IL Is the pet sport
Of both the military and the aris-
tocracy.
Americans feel just as anxious to
win. As they say at Meadow Brook
I'VE have the trophy; consequently
money, time and exertion win be
used to its fullest to keep 1t here.
With such determined ideas In the
minds Of the players on both sides
what else can be expected than most
interesting contest when the day ar.
rives for the teams to canter on to
the field at Meadow Brook awaiting
the sound q the whistle for play. !!

Trenton, August 10.-Those per-

icisms of Governor Fielder because
the flag on the staff in front of the
governors cottage at Sea Girt was
not half masted last Friday and Sat
urday as a tribute to the death OF
Mrs Woodrow Wilson, wife of the
President, were not familiar with
United States military regulations.
The military rules required that the
flag be continued at the top of the
staff as long as Sea Girt remained a
military post. AS soon as the third
regiment left the camp ground on
Saturday afternoon, Sea Girt lost its
military character and became mere
ly the civilian headquarters of the
governor, and at that time the flag
was Immediately half masted.
Governor Fielder issued former
request that all citizens of New Jer-

CHILD IS KILLED
WHEN RUN DOWN
BY AUTOMOBILE

While crossing the street at
Fayette and Prospect streets shortly
before O'Clock last night three
year-old Anna, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Michael Guzino, of 296 Fayette
street, was run down and fatally
injured by an automobile. The little
girl died two hours later at the city
hospital, following severe internal
hemorrhages. Besides internal in
juries her skull was fractured. Albert
Kornhoff, of Ridgewood, N. j.,
driver and owner of the automobile,
touring car, came to the police
station and reported the accident and
was paroled by Roundsman Morris.
Since the death of the victim Mr.
Kornhoff has been notified by the
police to appear here and give bonds
for his appearance before the grand
jury on a technical charge of homi-
eide.
The child was struck by the right
mud guard as the machine was going
north on Prospect street. The child
was hurled away from the car and
thrown violently against the pave
ment Mr.. Kornhoff stopped the
machine and went to assist the girl,
but before he reached the girl Mrs
Guzino had gathered the child into
her arms and started for her home
Mr.. Kornhoff followed and asked to
be allowed to take the victim TO the
city hospital This refused, he tele-
phoned for DR.. M. S. Meinzer, who
found the girl bleeding profusely
from the head DR. Meinzer took her
in his automobile to the hospital.
The child did not regain conscious

lowing the accident, and Patrolmar

.SHEEHY IS WITH
STR|CKER; BOTH
IN SWITZERLAND

Assistant Prosecutor, Joseph E..
Stricken is in Lucerne, Switzerland,
with President John K. Sheehy, of
the Board of Education, according to
dlestorffer, treasurer of the Perth
Amboy Trust Company, Saturday af-
ternoon. The cable was sent Friday
and required twenty-four hours to
reach its destination.
What is believed to be a hoax,
received some circulation today, to
the effect that Mr.. Stricken had been
drafted to serve in the Austrian
army. Mr. Stricken was born in that
States when. he was eight years old.
Mrs. Sol Rubenstein, sister OF Mr..
Stricker, says she puts no stock in
such a report, declaring that the
Austrian government could not
touch him. The cablegram received
by Mr. Riddlestorffer on Saturday,
which Mr.. Stricken had filed Friday,
should set at rest further fear for
the welfare of either Mr.. Stricken or
Mr.. Sheehy, who, Mr.. Stricken says,
is with him in Luzerne. While the
two men did not go together and, SO
far as known, had no idea of meet
ing while abroad, circumstances have
evidently brought them together in
Switzerland, which country has thus
far been kept out of the war zone.
