They are Hoylake, Turnberry, and
st. Andrews for golf: Wimbledon for
tennis, and Hurlingham for polo.
And each entry is working with
feverish keenness to get ready. For
don't make the mistake of thinking
that Uncle Sam looks for an easy
victory at any point The British,
sensing some time ago the strength
Of this invasion, have gone out of
their old ways to be prepared. As
a rule they take a tournament as II
comes. whether II be local or inter-
national. But they have been work
ing unusually hard to be prepared
for the next five weeks. where they
know that only the best they have
to giye will prevent their cup supply
from being totally exterminated.
As it is, one can easily understand
that they are now quite confident OF
holding their own: that, in fact, they
expect to retain a majority of their
leading trophies.
They see no great chance in
wrestling the tennis cup away from
Tilden. and they have no one on
form who can stop Mile. Lenglen.
But they believe the open golf cham
pionship and the polo cup are reas-
onably safe and that they have
enough good golfers to carry at
least an even chance against Evans,
Ouimet and Jonhs at HoyIake next
week. And they don't believe Miss
Stirling can quite get by Miss Leitch
at Turnberry. But you can never
tell. And So John Bull has ordered
the guard doubled around cup head
quarters until the turmoil subsidies.
There are other complicated mat
ters concerning this cup supply. He
has lost the polo cup before, so IL
would be no great shock to have Il
happen again. But ibcosts an awful
lot of important money to come over
and bring it back. And importan
money today isn't piled up by the
wayside. Tilden already has the
tennis cup. and IL he wants IL as
badly this June as he did last wear
ne can probably keep Il. But losing
a golf cup is an unseemly blow. The
matter Of expense is much lighter
in golf than In polo, but John Bull
has only lost two golf cups in Ali
history, one amateur championship
to Travis. the American. and one
open championship to Massy. tbe
Frenchman. The stolid ,oId gentle.
man will give the best he has 10 ,e.
that this doesn't happen again.

Nothing particularly feeble was
noticeable about the visitors, either.
While they got five less safeties

Bengals' assault, a majority of the
liberties taken with the Tigers
pitchers were only a little less ro-
bust In fact nine of the safeties
collected by the guests were for
extra cushions and they kept the
guardians of the outer precincts
on the jump constantly.
Washington started the orgy by
lighting on Jim Middleton in the
first inning. and the Tigers in turn
smeared Jim Shaw, who. in spite
OF the fact that an uprising by
the visitors in the second provided
him with a fresh lead. was obliged
to leave before he could finish the
