In so far as the American squad is
concerned. the schedule is a departure
from the plan recently announced by
the Polo Association. 1t had been ex-
pected that the six Yankee players
would take part in preliminary practice
at Tidworth and would enter various
tournaments, just as the team led by
Harry Payne Whitney did previous TO
its lifting the cup in 1909
At that time the Yankee four played
at Hurlingham, Ranelagh and Roehamp-
ton too, but IL also was seen in several
tournaments. 1t was in the Open Cup
tourney at Roehampton that the Whit
ney team of 1909 gave the British an
Idea that their four might not be able
to withstand the dashing tactics Of
Uncle Sans experts. 4 .5
Form .'TriaI Horses.-
In order 70 give bothr the .Yankcesi
and the British good practice two Eng
iish teams have been organized, one by
Walter Buckm9ster, one of the most fa-
nous players in the history Of polo, and
the other by Major F. w. Barrett who
was a member of the team which took
away the cup here in 1914.
Buckmaster's four will total SO points.
in handicap-as much as WIN the British
team which will face the Americans.
Buckmaster. with handicap at 10 goale,
will play at No. 3. The Spanish Duke
OF Penaranda. who accompanied the
British team here in 1914. with n handi-
cap of 8, will play No. l. and f. VI.
Freake. an internationalist who was
seen here in 1918. will be at No. 2. His
handicap is Q. The Earl of Rocksavage,
handicap 3. will be at back.
The other British trial horse" four.
under Major Barrett will be. an all
military affair. with total handicap OF
33 II will be made up as follows:
No. /. Lieut-Col. II. G. NJ -PIeyden-
Railston. handicap goals: Noe. Lieut.
Col Fl. c. 5. Ashton. handicap s: No.
3. Major Barrett. handicap 2. and back.
Major ]. r. Harrison. handicap 2.
There are two surprises among these
Freake. who has not played polo since
1914. and the failure of Major Barrett
to win a place on the British four
