POLO GROUND GOSSIP.

Early birds at the Brush Stadium saw Larry Doyle out in uniform talk ing little workout. He was not his spry old self and is trying to get back gradually.
 Old Joe Hornung, who was once 8 Giant and still hearty and hale at six tv-one, was keeping a sharp eye out for the gambling contingent that gather back of third base in the grandstand. Hary Sparrow was also keeping a lookout from a listening post.
 If Ping Bodie could think as hard as he sometimes can hit he would be a remarkably improved player. Ping made a clean triple to the right field fence in the fifth, and was later on caught ignominiously off third on q snap throw by Agnow.
 Peck lost a hit in the sixth in De- culiar way. Scott, figuring that Gil hooley was going to try to steal sec ond, ran over to take the throw from home. and Peck hit the ball right into his hands. Scott could hardly have reached the ball if he had not been looking for the steal.
 Tn the eighth Pipp made a great com bnation with Mogridge on drive by Strunk. Waffle made a fine stop and Mogridge an equally good cover of the bag, getting Amos by a step.
 No ball ever camo back from the stands. TherG was a crowd of sol diers and sailors present and every foul was gobbled by them. Once a civilian threw ball back onto the field but an obl!ging Boston player tossed it back to a sailor, This made quite a hit with the crowd,
 Slim Caldwell was very much surprised person in the eighth when Silk OLoughlin called him out on strikes. He had fouled off a couple and the next ball looked as if it had taken a nick out of his belt buckle. His felnSs were rather injured to say the least.

CUDGEL WINS
Four-Year-Ol Gallops Home Victos in Brooklyn Handicap Under Jockey Lylle.

New York, June 25.--Cudgel, the 4-year-old colt by Broomstick- -Eugen- ia Burch, owned by Commander J. K. l.. Ross, a Canadian naval officer, and cleverly ridden by Jockey Lyke, won the Brooklyn Handicap, one mile and furlong, over the Queens County Jockey clubs race track yesterday. The winner, which was the public fla vorite, carried the top impost of 129 pounds past the judges a. length ahead of Andrew Miller's aged gel ding Roamer, with John Sanford's o- year-old George Smith third, four lengths away. The time of the race 1;50 1-5, is just one second behind the track record for this distance, made by II. P. Whitney's Borrow in this event last year. The winning owners part of the stake was $4,s00.
 Eight horses made up the field. Roamer and Ticket being coupled as the Miller entry, the other one. Re- count, having been withdrawn as were Damrosch, Motor Cup and Corn Tassel, while H. P. Whitney added last years winner Borrow. They were only three minutes at the post and all got off well.
 Roamer, as usual. was always pTOIllnGul, duo QulCkly w "cSly Hogan and Borrow, the leaders for over half a mile, into submission. Cudgel was slow to set going and raced in sixth position until turning into the stretch, where he shot past the other contenders and challenged the flying Roamer. The latter was crowded a bit on the rail in ths stretch drive, but Cudgel, perfectly handled by Lyke, gained steadily and won by a length.
 Schuttinger, who rode Roamer, made a claim that Lyke rode his mount too close to the rail, but the claim was not allowed. Both the winner and jockey were loudly cheered when they returned to the judges stand, the Canadian owners victory being q very popular one.
 George Smith finished third, hva lengths in front of Hollister, which beat Hendrie a neck for fourth place. Westy Hogan finished sixth, fifteen lengths in front of Borrow, wiMA Ticket trailing the field.

ENJOYS QUIT RUMANIA
American and Allied Special Missions
rendered "Safe Conduct

Washington. March 13.-Members
of the American and allied special
missions to Rumania have left Jassy
for Odessa under assurances of safe
conduct from the king of Rumania.
They had been held for quarantine.
Word regarding the missions came
from Minister VOpicka, who said Aus
trian authorities had attempted to
hold the missions for thirty days. An
investigation by members of the mis-
sions indicated there was no sanitary
reason for their detention and pro-
tests were made, which convinced the
Ri manian government that some as
sistance should be given and provision
was made for them to leave imme-
diately.
The minister in reporting the Incl
dent to the state department said the
Austrian action was regarded as a
snare.
With the missions went the Ameri-
can Red Cross workers and other
Americans connected with war work.
The French and British contingents
included several hundred men.

disclosed that the parents, who live at
Alma did inform the son that he was

an American as are his other broth

the German navy. Before coming to
the United States about Il year ago he
travelled extensively in South America
making maps. The maps, he claimed,
were for the governments of the diff

some of the drawings found their way
to places other than the South Amer

Schneider was wearing a ring crested
with the Iron Cross. He told several
