Four Teams Well Up in Federal.
POLO A FAMILY AFFAIR.
Many Leading Players Inherit Their
Ability.

BLOOD will telI' is an old axiom
which seems to run true to form when
tracing the influences of heredity in
relation to the game Of polo. This is
proved by the fact that many of our
best polo players either inherit their
ability in this direction or show by
the preponderance of players of one
kin that the sport is apt to be family
matter
In speaking of this subject recently.
Alfred Stoddardt. Philadelphia ex-
pert, had this to say:
Those of US who can recall polo of
a decade ago will remember with
pleasure the playing of the late P. F.
Collier on the same team with his son,
Robert Golfers. The elder Collier must
have been at that time well advanced
in his SOS and by no means a light
man. He was compelled to ride rather
heavy ponies even for those days, when
speed was not 50 essential is it is now.
But the gameness which he displayed
always won for him the sympathy and
admiration of the polo enthusiasts.
Mention of the Golfers recalls the
Gould family. George ]. Gould and his
