And as to the participants. the gov
ernment has so co-operated with
Army officers in their desire to play
the game that there is hardly a post
in the United States or oCr possess
sions which does not have a polo
plant and an adequate number OF
players. In other words, men who,
out of their own means, could not
have afforded to play polo have been
assisted in material ways by the War
Department. which has also made pos
sioie the playing of polo at Yale.
Princeton, Cornell, Norwich and other
universities through reserve officers
training camp processes. Besides this,
private riding clubs throughout the
country are going in for indoor polo
and outdoor play will be matter Of
logical development.
Came Due to Become Popular.
All this means that polo is on its
way in this country. Ten years will
see il one of the greatest games on
our calendar of sports. Right now
one may say that the game has at
tanned a status where the question
of amatcurism should engage the at
tention of the American Polo Asso-
citation.
When Earl Hopping was trying for
place on the American international
polo four last year there was some
raising of eyebrows, because Hop
ping had been a polo manager-that
is. holding a salaried position to con-
duct the game, arrange Journeys and
the like-at Piping Rock. Ii was also
so pointed out that he had been a
breaker. handler and trainer of polo
mounts and had taught the game.
AS matter of fact. he would have
been chosen had he been able TO win a
place. The English have taken no stand
on amateurism in polo at all. Maj. Bar
rett, one of the British defending four
last year, is manager at Hurlingham.
And when the American team went TO
England Hopping was taken along as
an alternate. Since then he has re-
manned in England. playing on various
amateur fours. He will play in this
country as member of the Eastcott
team, which will include Maj. Hurndall
and Col. Lockett, two British interna-
tionalists.
Makes Living Out of Game.
On one Of the American teams TO
participate in the great tournaments Of
next month is Harry East. whose living
is made through association with the
game. He is an Englishman and a rat
ting good player. There is nothing to
indicate that the Polo Association con-
siders anything out of the way in this.
cln fact. this attitude could not be held.
since the polo rules have not line
concerning amateuriSrn.
The point af all this is, Should there
not be rules? As the game is now
growing. should not a definite stand be
taken on the question of what and>what
is not an amateur in polo-this is, OF
course, assuming that our polo autfiori-
ties do not wish TO let the game grow
with amateurs and professionals, ring
ers and gentlemen, hopelessly intermin-
gled? Perhaps there need be no written
rules. the Polo Association assuming
similar powers TO those exercised by
the Jockey Club in the control of racing.

gether triumphant had 1t not been
for a rainy day in Pittsburgh. when
again meeting Greb. the Pittsburg
fail artist platered Tommy good and
proper.
But it was not until last year that
Gibbons became a pugilistic sensation.
He had taken on weight 30 fast that
m middleweights were too small for him,
so he entered the heavy division.
Tpney Melcher and AL Reich were
easy for him. and then he came on to
New York ard put Paul Sampson to
sleep in style SO workmanlike that
the critics at once touted him as the
most promising contender for Demp-
sey's crown.
Put Many to Sleep.
Thereafter pugilists fell before his
fadeaway like wheat under the reaper.
Those who enjoy pleasant dreams as
result of contact with his fist were
Larry Williams, Porky Finn. Jack
Heenan, Ray Smith, Jack Clifford,
Willie Mehan. William Keeler. Dan
ODowd. Billie Reeves. Fred Aller, and
number of other heavies.
Tommy was on the highest crest
when he went against BARLEY Mad
den and failed to put him away, al
though he beat him up viciousiy.
Whether this failure to send BARLEY
to dreamland affected Tommy's nerve.
or whether he held Greb too cheaply,
the facts remain that he was beaten
by the Pittsburgher. and since then
he has been treading those outer re-
gions of darkness wherein abide those

The most SucceSS1ul OIL the nSneT-
men on the Severn river bridge, OF
which there a large number, is
Robert NJ. Oneale. d veteran con-
ductor of the electric line. His "off
time" strikes late in the afternoon
and he can be found regularly at his
own special spot. which is a little
on the north side of the draw.
From this vantage point, Cap
Oneale has been pulling in the big
rock regularly, some of them of from
six to eight pounds generally finding
his hook during the course of the af-
ternoon and early evening fishing.
He uses peeler. which is the chief
bait for all fish at present in this
vicinity.
Chesapeake Beach had it's varying
success for the fishermen during the
past week, but it can be fairly said
that the predominating luck was
good. Indeed. some of the fish
brought in by the boat fishermen

were the hardheads. but the catches
were not as large as had been hoped
for. In reports of the up-bay fishing

trout schools have gone that way.

fshsrmen off Herring Bay a few
nights ago. They spent one of the
most successful and active evenings
at the sport. this or any other season.
More than one hundred fine big trout
and hardheads were pulled over the
side of the boat, and on a return trip
to the feeding place few evenings
later they were lucky in landing
eiEhty-five more of the same kind of
fish.
Since then there has been no heavy
catches of trout. but the reports
from the Severn river testify strongly
TO the hegira of the festive trout tn
the northern waters. However. with
the advent of cooler weather and the
fall the trout will be working their
way back down the bay.
