MILBURN BACK IN GAME
speciaI 70 The WashinSton Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Hampstead. n. Y, June 6.-The Amer
lean polo team wound up its preparatory
work in a blaze Of glory at Meadowbrook
today. The four selected to do battle
against England won by fifteen. one-half
goals to 2 over a scrub team That the
showing made by the defenders pleased
the crowd of society people present was
evident. for every goal struck. brought
forth a cheer. The thing that gratified
everybody was the appearance of
'Devereaux Milburn in the lineup. He
galloped out on the green as il nothing
had happened on Friday. and if one of
his ribs was sore. it seemingly did not
affect his hitting. for he fed his forwards
with innumerable gigantic drives.
The big four" as il has come to be
known. was made up of r. Lamontagne. J.
N. Waterbury. jr., number 2; D. Milburn,
number ), and l.. Waterbury, back. For
the first four chukkers the scrub line
ups was Alexander Brown. ]. B. Watson
Trail. of the English team as back. The
other three players were numbered from
to 3. In the last four chukkers the
scrub lineup underwent a change.
Alexander Brown retired and Webb was
moved up to number ], and Perry Bead
lesion went in at number ..
The scoring in the first half OF the
match was worthy of analysis.
The big four hit II goals TO a goose
egg for the scrubs, who always played
out of position and within the least COM
bination. The tally in the second half
last four chukkers was four one-half
goals to two for the scrubs, the figures
showing that the team played to better
combination. which was helped by Bead
lesion.
In individual hitting Lamontagne led
with nine goals. Monty Waterbury 3
Milburn 2, and Larry Waterbury >. The
half goal penalty was chalked against
Larry Waterbury for crossing Beadles-
ton. For the scrub side J. Watson Weob
and Perry Beadleston shot a goal apiece.
There was considerable surprise among
the crowd when in their period John \.
Trail cantered out. mounted on the
famous mare Energy, the property OF
the Duke of Westminster. She acquitted
herself splendidly, but she seemed to be
big and too strong for the Irish Argen-
tine crack to handle. She appeared TO
hoist trail so high that his stick missed
the ball time and time again and she
overgaIloped the ball
Lamontagne was closely watched, and
though he led in the hitting his sense of
direction was faulty and he missed a
number of exceedingly easy ones
Lord Wimbourne and the other mem
bers of the English team were interested
observers. Although none would make a
comment on the work of the Americans,
they now and again expressed admira-
ton for the gallopins of the American
ponies.
The English team will practice at
Phipps Field, Westbury, this afternoon.
After the conclusion of the American
practice odds of 2 to 1 were offered on
them. but there was a scarcity of Eng
lish money.

ny WILLIAM PEET.

st. Louis, Mo-. June $50 intense was
the heat at Sportsman's Park here during
the game between the Nationals and
Browns this afternoon that Catcher Alva
Williams collapsed when the home team
came to bat in the seventh inning and
John Henry had to replace him.
Walter johnson also felt the terrible
effects Of the hot weather and told the
writer that after the first inning he did

Browns. he states. will always be a
mystery.
Alva Williams walked out to the box
after st. Louis had made four hits al
most in a row during this same second
chapter. and to johnson said: "Quit loaf
ing. Walter. and show me something"
Honest, Al, I'm giving you everything
I've got," Walter replied. and after WILL
Jams himself was forced to take the
count later he realized that the great
pitcher spoke the truth.
Armando Marsans, the crack outhelder
Of the Cincinnati Reds. who is at present
under suspension is in st. Louis at the
request Of Federal League scouts.
When the Cuban called on Griffith, his
former manager. the Old Fox was too
busy to see him At least that was Grif-
fith's excuse.
Tonight Griff said. IF Marsans wants
advice from me. I shall tell him to go
back to Cincinnati and fight his own
battles. II he joins the Federal League
forces he is a fool
Otto Nye, the young high school short
stop from Springfield. Ill, reported to
the Nationals this morning, and was out
in uniform this afternoon.
Nye is a left-hand hitter and looks
like a good fielder. He is tall and well
built-about the size of Howard Shanks-
in fact, he does not look unlike the left,
fielder.
I'm going to carry this youngster for
while" said Griff. "and IL he shows
promise will send him to some minor
league club for development"
Douglass Neff. the University of vir-
ginfa youngster, had not put in an ap-
pearance up to late hour tonight, but
is expected on every train.
One of, Johnson's wild shoots hit
Gus Williams, the Browns big out
fielder, on the right forearm, putting
Gus out of ]: the game. The injury Is
not serious as no bones were broken.
Southpaw Joe Boehling will be in the
box for the Nationals tomorrow and
will be opposed by Carl Weilman or
George Baumgardner. Joe has been
licked during his last two starts and
unkind critics say he has an exagger-
rated opinion of himself. Boehling
