U. s. POLO TEAM TO HAVE
 NEW PLAYER

New York, June 15-A radical change in the lineup of the Ameri- can polo cup defenders, because of Saturdays defeat at the hands of the British team, seems assured, judging from the talk heard in the polo colony at Meadowbrook. The committee of the Polo association is to meet today and at it's conclusion, the new lineup of the American team will be an- nounced.
 The. new lineup. 1t is expected will be:
 Lawrence Waterbury, Mo- 1; J. M. Waterbury, No. ?; Malcolm Stevenson, No. 8; Devereaux MiIburn. back.
 This, it is said, is the strongest com bination of players that the commit tee has to bring forward at this time. It seems that three members of the unbeaten "big four will be in their old positions H. P. Whitney cannot resume his place on the teams because of lack of condition.
 Stevenson,a substitute on the Amer ican team, is in the handicap list at seven goals-a rating equal with that of Rene La. Montague, who, many ex- perts thought, was largely responsible for the defeat of the cup defenders Saturday. Stevenson is a fine all around player. In addition to being a good shot, he is strong in team WOTh1 h11OWS SNS1y N141AhAS OA ~AAS game and is particularly fine horse man. The second game of the series will be played tomorrow. Because of their brilliant play and victory Satur- day, the Britons are now strong favor 7tes in the betting.
 Hempstead. L. T.. June 15-Owing to the downpour of rain all night, there were fears this forenoon that the second international polo game, set for Tuesday, might have to be- postponed, owing to the slippery con dition of the field. The betting has changed from two to one in favor of America to three and four to one in favor of England.
 Both the American and English ponies today showed signs of the hard riding of Saturdays games.

MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE
 TO BE DECIDED SOON

The rafddIeweight championship question which has been bothering the followers of boxing in the two hemis- pheres for the past year or twoS seems to be in fair way of being definitely settled. Jimmy C1abby, who has been one of the real contenders for the title at the legitimate weight, suffered a severe setback the past week in Aus tralia, whena he lost a. 20-round decis- ion to Jeff Smith, the New York mid dIeweight. These two boys met in New York three years ago in a ten round contest as welterweignts, and at that time Clabby was credited with a victory. Since then both have devel- oped into real middleweights and now Smith has turned the tables on the clever Clabby.
 Before leaving for Australia, C1ab- by fought twenty rounds with Billy Murray in San Francisco, the decision being a draw, although it was claimed by all the papers that C1abby easily outpointed the California boy. Mur- ray since that time. has been making good in the east and the chances are that he will go to Australia for a series of matches under the direction of Snowy Baker if plans which are now being negotiated nnateria1ize.
 If Murray goes to Australia he will be matched up with Jeff Smith and also Clabby, and the winner of these contests will, in all probability be
 matched with Eddie MC1TOOFty.r It Is a question whether McGoorty can make the middleweight limit, which is 15s pounds ringside-
 r Jack Dillon and George Chip also claim to be in the fight for middle weight title but there is some ques- ton about Dillon making the weight. Mike Gibbons can also be considered as a contender, for Mike seems to have developed a real punch of late. How ever, it seems that the midd1eweights are getting a little closer together and before long we may have a, champion to take the place of the late Stanley Ketche1.
 Clabby's defeat in Australia was great surprise to the followers of the game there, as he was a big favorite and was picked to beat Smith. The papers all said C1abby should have had a draw C1abby was given the prefer ence ia match with McGoorty, July year for surprises all around in the boxing game.
 The Milwaukee Boxing clubs have practically closed for the summer sea- season. The Ritchie- White match prov ed conclusively that boxing fans will not attend shows during extreme hot weather. It would be much better for the boxing clubs to close down entirely during the summer season the same as baseball clubs shut down during the winter season. The various sports have their different seasons and the fol- lowers. act accordingly. ]

 The programme which Little Miss Hester, in conjunction with Little Miss Wilson. will present Thursday evening comprises list of musical works that would tax mature players of reputation and it is weighty praise to say that when heard these children render it al rehearsal they did it worthily, and it is pleasure also to record that they mot only did it worthily but with un- derstanding and appreciation.
 The liquid melodies, but musicianly works of the lighter composers, includ- Ing Nevin, Jensen and others, went with dash and brilliancy that was charming, and the profounder, deeper numbers of the soul-stirring masters Beethoven, Bach, Verdi, Massenet and Chopin had their due measure of inter . pretation and power

For a Sweet Sixteen Party

Would it be asking you too much to print some suggestions for sweet six teen party?" There are to be efgnt couples present. What would you sug- gest in the way of games and prizes, and, last but not least, what shall be served? Can you tell of a way to send out the in vitations that would be out of the ord;- nary? LOYAL FRIEND,
 l bind this letter together with the one that follows and confess myself far at sea with respect to both. As will be seen. both writers are sweet sixteen.' Both desire directions for arranging the func- tion, but that "lemon'' throws me quite out of the groove ! never heard or a lemon party until now. Eight couples are not too much for a merry supper party seated cozily about a table. Serve fruit cocktails or caviar toast as an appetizer. Then have banned oysters chicken salad, sandwiches, crackers and cheese, cakes, and ices, with tea and cof- fee. Vary the menu to suit your taste Have in the center of the table a low bowl containing 16 rosebuds, and lay at each plate 8 boutonniere of a single rose bud and spray of green. Have the number "16' embossed upon the cards of invitation. Dancing and games should fill up the rest of the evening.
 Would you kindly give me details and particulars for "lemon palty?" Also tell me what sort of a lunch I should have, tables to set etc.? It is my six teenth birthday, so please suggest favors, decorations, etc, which I can serve for both a lemon and sweet sixteen" party. LILLIAN D."
 Read what have outlined for the sweet sixteen party, and introduce your lemons as may seem best. You might have in flower pots two stiff evergreens, each with eight small lemons stuck upon twigs Set pot near end of the table and the bowl containing IS rosebuds between these. The candies may be favored and colored with lemon and the ices and cakes have the same flavorng. ] refer the res. of your letter to younger and wide-awake members. Will not some lively. up-to- date girl write to us of lemon and sweet sixteen parties?
