100000 WORTH
OF HORSEFLESH
in POLO MATCH
Philadelphia and New York
Mounts Are Best in the
Country
CONTEST HERE TOMORROW

One hundred Thousand dollars worth of
horsefesh will be used in a single sport
ing event at the Philadelphia Country Club
tomorrow At o'clock the thorough
bred mounts which are TO carry the
winners and losers in the seminal polo
match for the interclrcuit championship
will be paraded before the grand stand prior
to galloping into contest. There will be
more than forty of the feetest thorough
breds to reel off furlongs you ever saw. one
might safely say they represent the pick of
polodom.
The Meadow Brook Club string from
Westbury, L. l., which is to be used by the
Eastern Circuit team, arrived at the Country
Club yesterday. These mounts are to be
ridden by Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., J. Wat
son Webb. Malcolm Stevenson and Dew
ereux Milburn. a quartet carrying twenty
eight goals The twenty-four thoroughbreds
represent the pick OF Harry Payne Whit
neys string and several of Lord Wimborne's
international mounts - the fleet mounts
which figured so prominently in carrying
the cup back to England two years ago last
June. In value they represent more than
$4,000.
Box stall accommodations were provided
for them at the Country Club, and a half
dozen grooms and a score of stable boys set
to work Immediately on the arrival to make
the blooded stock comfortable This morn
ing they will be limbored up by a series of
half-mile dashes on the turf, while several
which took on a bit of flesh since leaving
Long Island will be galloped for the length
of period, seven and one-half minutes, to
insure their wind" being right No baby
in a milllonaire's nursery ever received more
careful attention than this string of polo
mounts. They are bathed massaged, blank
eted and put to bed the same as child.

Seventeen-year-old Cor
son Takes Classic Cup
From Veterans-Some
Well-Known Caddies
By SANDY McNIBLICK

DHIL CoRSON set a large silver replica

piece at home today, slcked up his curls
by his reflection on It's shining surface and
took his place among the rest Of the youth
have been impressing on the public fately
that golf is not an. "old mans game"
He makes one more youngster still in his
teens who must henceforth be reckoned
with In local tournaments.
The seventeen-year-old Haverford sopho-
more won the cup from very fast field
after being only one stroke away from
winning the medal in the qualifying round.
He had to sustain his golf at high point
for five days in order to break through.
In the finals yesterday Corson was called
upon to stack up with Robert Weir. a gray
haired Wilmington veteran, whose chances
in the amateur championship at Merton
were kindly looked upon by many of the
gathering. But Corson got Weir dormie
four and ran out the match on the six
teenth hole.
First Big Win
The first one of the gallery to shake
his hand was his white haired father, and
after that his tiny brother Ralph, who tod
died all around the course at the heels Of
his big brother.
II is the first scheduled tournament that
young Corson has won. though he has won
lower flights before. He has Bala and
Philmont trophy. Last year he was tied
for the medal at the Chicket Club in the
st. Martins with Harold Kltson.
Each had a seventy-eght. On the play
off of eighteen holes Kitson had Corson
by one stroke to the eighteenth tee 1t
looked like a victory for Kitson when Cor
son could not land the green. But Corson
was not through by a long shot"
He ran up a chip shot from off the green
on such a beautiful line that 1t went ker-
| plump in the cup. and there was another
| tie for the medal. On the next round OF
| eighteen holes Kitson went all TO pieces
| and Corson had an easy win after fifty
| four holes of very fast golf.
Corson beat players like Edward Clarey
| the Woodbury. star. in the present tourney
| by five and four. which shows the brand
| of golf he is playing.

with and read the Relic books has
gone by. To keep him out Of the
loafing hangouts he has been turned
into a young club man.
But it's one thing to get the boys
into some of the many useful soci
cites and it's quite another to have
it work out some positive benefit.
Leaders of the Boy Scout movement
report great difficulty in securing
Scoutmasters. To fill this lack they
are starting at Boston this fall a
school for scout leadership, and re-
ceiving applications for membership
from all over the country.
AS things now are, many of these
boy organizations run in a haphazard
fashion. Very few men have the
gift for work with boys. Young AM
erica is a tough problem to handle.
He thinks quick. He has a very keen
sense of humor. He feels a desire to
utter his witticisms at the most mop
perfume times. His little spirit boils
over with fun, and he wants to make
a game OF all drill or class work.
The average man has to think very
actively to subdue these resourceful
minds and squirming muscles. 1t
takes an alert brain, an ingenious i'm.
agination, tolerant spirit, and
firm will. Most men feel utterly -ex-
hausted after an evening of it..
There is great need for organiza-
tons to keep the boys off the streets
and to provide outlet for their super
fluous energy. A man who has a gift
for this kind of leadership can do UNI
told good. The ministers, church
workers, and school teachers will
have to make more Of a study OF this
work. Probably the clergyman can
exert more influence in this way than

THE LIFE INSURANCE

The interests and future of life in
surance work we're discussed at the
convention held at Boston a few days
ago of the National Association Of
Insurance agents. The opinion was
confidently expressed that the life in.

has nothing to fear from the compe-
tition of state insurance.
Efforts have been made in some
states through banks and other agen-
cies to establish what is called "Over

advertising, it won't work universally
while human nature remains as it is.
A common view OF insurance was
expressed by the man who said, II
don't think much Of an investment
where l have to die to get my mon
ey."
There are great many men hav-
ing good incomes who have made no
effort to secure protection for their
families in case Of death. They think

life and health will endure indefinite.

walk up to a state or bank insurance

Some one remarked the other day
that It is pathetic to see how the all

health he ia quite as apt to have

But II he falls sick he is more like

first rate physician. Or he may get
into the hands Of some unsuccessful
doctor who can not afford to be gem
orous and charges him full toll for
every visit. A more successful and
competent practitioner does much Of
this kind OF work for low fees, or
often for nothing.

CAM PAIGNiNG BY

cut Is finally turned out that serves
its end and may influence supeI fetal
standards Of judgment.
OF course all this distribution OF
pictures has its effect as advertising.
Some people seem to feel tina; the
candidate whose face Is seen twice
as often is backed by the bigger for
ces. This makes them want to join
the current.
But popular intelligence does grow
and it demands today different kind
OF advertising There is an increas-
ing number Of people who want to
know Just what ideas a candidate
stands for. You cannot capture that
kind of vote merely by having a
mans picture on every billboard and
in every store.
AS the voters grow more intelli-
gent, this distribution OF pictures
seems like wasted money. The news
papers all print the photographs 'of
candidates, so anyone can see what
they look like. The voter wants the
facts and purposes rather than to
see moustaches and whiskers and
cheek bones. An intelligently written
newspaper advertisement cells the
voter of today much more of what he
wishes to know.

as Tom and Peabody enter the cab
