TO spend $150,O00 on the chance of yinnine a sporting event is a pretty game sort of proposition but 1t is just what Baron Wimborne did Tn his successful attempt last year to lift the international polo cup. Baron Wimborne, who will he forty-lWo years old tomorrow. has for years been a polo enthusiast, and when he went after the trophy which had twice clded the best efforts of British teams, he didn't overlook a bet that might insure success. As result, the l9l f contest for the polo cup was the most thrilling ever witnessed in America. The invading team, composed eHclh- sivcly of army officers, took two straight matches. and the cup went back to England. As most of the British pclo players are in the army. America is unlikely to have a chance to regain the trophy this year.
 Ivor Churchill Guest, who was ere ated Baron Ashby St. Ledgers in 1910 and succeeded to his fathers title of Baron Vim borne last year, is the son of the late first Baron Wimborne and daughter of the seventh Duke of Marlborough. He served brilliantly in the South African war and in 1910 was made paymaster-general. Be fore that he spent several years in the House of Commons as Liberal member. He inherited from his father an estate of more than S0,O0o acres. and, he possessed q con siderable fortune of his own, his ex- penditures in anncXimg the polo cup didn't leave him broke.
 When Lord Wimborne-then Lord Ashby St. Ledgers-tirst announced his intention of trying for the trophy then held by the American poloists, the croakers set up a howl of de- rision. Few of the polo club mem bcrs and newspaper experts had any
New Britain herald., 1915-01-15

confidence in the project, but that didn't deter the young nobleman. He planned q campaign in which money didn't figure. He bought and tried scores of ponies to get mounts for the men. He sent out scouts who secured Europe, India and North and South America in their hunt for ponies. First and last, his ponies cost him probably $100.000, although these figures are not official, for Lord Wimborne refused to discuss the f- nancial aspects of his cup hunt. The thirty-six ponies which he brought to America probably stood him an aver age of S2,000 each, and dozens of animals were bought, tried and dis carded before the thirty-siN were de- cided upon for the American trip. The job of finding these animals cost d pretty penny, and their care was a considerable item One of the best of British trainers was engaged, and a small army of stable boys, hostlers and farriers were engaged Before they were shipped to America, most of the ponies were taken to Spain for six months of special training. Lord Vim borne had siXty-four ponies at Madrid undergoing the training and WeedinE- -Out process.
 Picking the men who were to ride the ponies presented a multitude of problems for Lord Wimbornes con sideration. Scores of army men cap able of playing polo at it's best were at his disposal to choose from. He was disappointed in getting some of the men he had hoped to number among the team, but even so, they were quite good enough

NOT AFTER BENNY xaUFT
Organized Ball Has No Intentions Of
 Stealing Slugger.

Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 15.-Jack Hendricks manager of the 1ndianap- oils American Association club. took occasion last night to deny the story that organized baseball has given the new owners of the Yankees, or. fin fact, anybody else, the privilege of dealing with Bennie Kauff in an ef- fort to get the demon slugger of tie Hoofeds to jump. Kauff jumped the Indians.
 The story appears ridiculous." said Manager Hendricks. Last fall. when there was a chance that the Iroderals and organized baseball could get to- gethcr, President McGill made a deal with the New York National leaguo club for kauffs services The Ihdi- annapolis club was to get A big price for Kauff in the event peace should be declared and Kauff should be rein stated by the national commission.
 Peace was not effected, but I am of the opinion that the deal with the Giants still holds. Tn other words l believe the Yankees would have no right to get after the player. So far as I know no attempt will be made either by them or the Giants to do so-given as q so-called war mea- sure"

He began fighting in 1901, when he fought seven bouts, winning all by knockouts. In 1904 he defeated Matty Matthews, the ex- Welter champion, George Memsic, Martin Duffy and other good men, but was thrice defeated by Buddy Ryan. In 1906 he knocked out Willie Lewis and Terry Martin, but was knocked out by Joe Thomas A little later, by reason of two defeats of Joe Walcott, Honey laid claim to the welter title, but his reign was brief for he lost to Mike (Twin) Sul- liVan in a twenty round bout in Los Angeles. He then took the count from Frank Mantell, Harry Lewis and Willie Lewis, and, while he continued in the ring several years, he never re- gained position of eminence.

Tuthill of N. B. H. s. Will Find Him. self Fitted Against Beers, Who

The league basketb season is well under way for all teams except New Britain. The local High school quin- tet has not played any league games yet, but will meet the fast Crosby High five of Waterbury in the opener Saturday evening at the High school gymnasium. By starting the league schedule now, New Britain has plenty of time to get into form and has won the majority of the preliminary. games Defeating Gilbert High on their own court and trouncing the Stamford team in New Britain last week, the local boys have shown that they have attained their best form and are ready to meet anything. All realize the importance of the game Saturday. Those who have seen the New Britain boys in action in the last two games can best testify as to their ability.
 The five is one of the heaviest school HVes in the state. The players are experienced and hard fighters. The forwards are very fast and the school ledHlS III the state would nave to be secured well to find d better pair Of forwards than Schade and Ander son. On the defense the team is no less strong. Ginsberg and Du- dack are not a bit generous in the number of field goals they allow their opponents Tuthill, the big center, has yet to meet a man who can out jump him and he also plays a good floor game.
 On the other hand Crosby has a center in Beers who measures six feet four inches who, they confident, can outjump his opponent, so the con test between the Centers will be worth seeing. Taylor and Davis. Crosby's star forwards of last year, remain as well as the guards of last year Par sons, Borden and Huber. The game will undoubtedly be one of the best of the year and the management is making arrangements tu accommo- date 500 for about 200 tickets have already been sold.

BREAKING SOD

During the past few years many
ideas have been advanced by Mon
tana h~omesteaders and farmers with
regard to the proper depth of break
ing native sod. Some claimed that
subsequent blowing could not be
deeper than the original and that a
deep furrow slice would conserve more
moisture than a shallow one. On
the other hand, many particular farm
ers coming from Canada and North
Dakota claimed that much less power
was required and moisture conserved
equally as we'll by shallow blowing.
The experience of farmers, as given
at the farmers institutes. shows that
a large majority favor medium deep
blowing, say four or five inches.
Many successful lei say that roll
ing is even more important than the
depth of breaking. Sod should be
rolled with heavy rollers as fast as
plowed. The roller should be heavy
enough to fatten the sods out and
press them down firmly upon the
subsoil, thereby eliminating all the
air spaces. No roller can do a good
job if the sod is allowed to dry be-

FLAX ON SOD.

Flax is a crop which has always
been raised on sod in pioneer farm
ing countries and has moved west
ward from one section to another un-
til it has reached Montana. A sod
crop of any kind is somewhat Of a
gamble that the season will be wet.
However, the average rainfall Of the
Montana, May, June and July is SUI
fcient to produce from eight to ten
bushels of flax, providing hot winds
and hail are absent.
One characteristic of the fax plant,
which particularly adapts it to sod,
is it's coarse, penetrating root sys.
TEN. 1t also produces a crop in a
short time, which allows it to be
sown late in the season. Clay soils
with native turf of Buffalo or wheat
grass are best adapted to fax. Light
sandy soils do not produce the best
flax crops.
A profitable yield Of fax on soc
will depend upon three things: a.
Season with sufficient rainfall and alb
sence of hot winds. (2) Smooth
we'll packed seed bed. (3) Clear
treated seed.
