There were two outstanding fea-

the very fine work of w. A. Chan,

SOUTH AMERICA
MAY SEND POLO
PLAYERS TO j. S.

In order that America may have
some international polo during the
present year, the National Polo AssO-
citation, at its annual meeting in New
York, will consider a series OF matches
with the Argentine Republic probably
during the Narragansett season. There
is a remote possibility that Spain may
also send team to this country.
The only obstacle in the way of the
visit Of fast combination from the
South American republic is the diff
Guilty Of securing direct transportation
at the proper time Of the year. Ac,
cording to communications which have
passed between the North and South
American players, the impression pre-.
walls that the invading poloists would
be obliged to make the trip to this
country via England. If it can be
found that the Argentine team and
ponies can make satisfactory steam
ship connections direct to New York,
the other arrangements are only minor
details.
Polo play in Argentina is no novelty,
and the type of mount. game and play
er compares favorably with the best
of this country. The history of polo
in Argentina dates back to the late
eighties, as the Buenos Aires Hur.
bingham Club was formed in 1888.
Four years later the Polo Association
of the River Platte was organized
with IA clubs. in 1893 an annual
championship tournament was begun
under the name of the River Platte
championship, the title play being
held each September.
AS a result OF these championship
series some high-class players have.
been developed among the larger
ranch owners and their sons. Many
of the English settlers have taken up
the game with the same enthusiasm
and traditions that govern polo at
home This was demonstrated by the
selection of John Trail az first substi-
tute on the English team which CAPT.
tured the international trophy at
MeadowbrOok ia 1914.

and Male Wears

In the biggest upset in tennis circles
in some time. Miss Edith Stnbbs and
Miss Pearl Josephson defeated Miss
Alice Hopper and Miss Male Wears
in the first round of the ladies dou-
bles at the Polo Club courts yesterday
afternoon by the score of 60, 6-l
1t was expected that the match
would be taken in straight sets by the
losers, but Miss Stubbs and Miss
Josephson played remarkable tennis
throughout the match, and made a
number OF returns that went for
carried the match to an easy victory.
Miss Stubs used the loft stroke to
perfection, and her lobs as rule went
.afa. Miss Josephson played sterling
tennis throughout the match. showing
much better play than in the singles.
Miss Male Wears did not play ten
his yesterday afternoon. Throughout
tie match she missed net shots, failed
to return easy shots to the base line,
and only in one game did her hard
service count for much. She was
clearly off her game, and not once dur
ing the afternoon did she show the
class of tennis which she exhibited in
the singles play. Her showing was a
big disappointment yesterday after
noon.
Miss Alice Hopper played better ten
mis-, but team work was lacking, and
neither one Of the team played up to
the form expected, judging from their
lreat work in the singles. Despite
the poor showing of the team. the op-
pCnents continued to play sensational
t. mis- and proved the biggest surprise
in tennis circles during the year. :
This afternoon, at $3.50, Miss
Kathryn Williams and Miss Pauline
Schaefer will meet Miss Ruth Ander-
son and Miss Ruth Richards in what
is expected TO he a close match. At
o'clock Mrs. Coulter and Miss Ward
will meet Miss Stubs and Miss
Josephson, and at the same hour Mrs.
Belin and Miss Janet Storrs will meet
Mrs. Gordon and Miss O'Sullivan.
Figuring On the play to date, the
finals should be played between Mrs:
