POLO
RY BRITONS. polo is and always has
NJ been acknowledged the king of
sports. 1t fell off more completely
than any other branch of British sport
as a result of the war 1t was expen-
sive and it required good horses, and
the men who played it were good
sportsmen and so made gallant Of
hcers.
Greater interest in the sport than
ever before has been aroused in
England this year by the suggestion
that it be played under conditions
which shall enable the general public
to see and enjoy it as spectacle; in
other words, that it shall be played TO
gates" In the mean time, matches
are being played at Ranelagh, Hurlng-
ham and various other clubs, and many
we'll known players who during the
past four and a half years have had no
polo-except an occasional game be-
hind the lines in France-are back on
the polo ground.
Some CT England's greatest polo
stars went Vest in Flanders fields,
but among the survivors who are rid
ing and hitting with their oldtime
skill are Sir John Ramsden. Bart, J.
Buxton, Brigadier General Vaughan,
Guest, D. S. O., Colonel Howard-Vyse,
and Lord Rocksavage

elevens are not yet organized, and
it will not be until next season that
the real matches will take on their
former interest.

cricketer, who during the war used

American newspapers, has his team

good cricket, while Hobbs, the coun-
try's star batsman, is knocking out
centuries" with great regularity.
Games so far this season have been
featured by the speed with which
they were completed, many not reouir

RACING
1T MAY be mixing metaphors a bit,
A but racing seems to be the 'basebal
of England" AT least, it is the sport
in which the majority of the country
takes the greatest daily interest. which
every one talks and which everv one
follows and knows all about.
