AMERICAN POLO|STS
WAIT FOR BR|TONS TO
Return FROM WAR
Americans Keep Interest In
Sport Alive By Special
Tournaments
BY Barry Paris.

New York, July S.-American polo
players may have to wait year OF
two before they get another opportu.
nifty to display their talent against
their British brothers-in sport. But
in the meantime the American players
are keeping in perfect trim just as if
the event was to be played this year
as usual. The American polo authori.
des realize there is little chance for a
match for some time, not at least until
the war ends, for England is the
place the next match will be staged.
But the distance of the date is one
of the chief reasons why members of
polo teams all over the country are
practicing and playing exhibition
games, For when the British get ready
to give battle to the Americans on
the polo field Uncle Sam Is representa-.
tives are determined to be prepared.
And the enthusiasm with which the
players have stuck to their practice
work, where the cheering of spectators
is painfully absent and the applause
of admirers lacking, argues well for
the spirit that dominates the sport.
The local polo clubs have been keep.
ing in condition by playing at the
Meadowbrook Club, where friendly ri.
valry has added to the sport.
The same spirit is evidently in the

Spriggan Bought For $3.50
Wins $4,000 Purse At
Exposition Races

San Francisco, July 3.-Buy a fast
horse and make fortune over night.
Also if you have fortune to lose

fast harness horse.

Panama Pacific exposition that either
Of these theories for grabbing for
tune or losing it may be followed with
success. In other words, despite the
encroachment Of the automobile upon
the horse domain, racing is still a
great little game in which chances Of
big gains or heavy losses are just as
great as ever.
The exposition meet was marked by
racing for some of the richest purses in
the history Of the harness game Two
horses which were the central figures
in the richest events-the $4,000 trot
and $4,000 pace-furnish the theme
for this story.
The $4,000 throt was won by Sprig.
gan, big rangy horse owned by two
San Francisco horsemen Spriggan
won $4,000 for his owners when he led

heats.
And they paid $3.50 for him at an
auction in February. The man who let

thousands four months afterward.

 The suggestion offered by the presi- dent, that the members of the AssOcia- tion, at the next meeting, take up the matter of the advisability of agitating for better sidewalks in some of the much travelled sections of the village, where there are now practically no sidewalks, is along the line of sorely needed village improvement. The de- sired result can be brought about through the creation of a stronger arti- cle of civic pride and the education of a public sentiment in its favor; and these may be developed by persistent and rightly directed agitation. The next meeting should bring out some practical and valuable ideas along that line, if the suggestion of President Holsapple is followed out.
 The meeting Thursday evening was not largely attended, but the few who were present had the right spirit and the meeting was profitable one.
