best players at Bryn Mawr. Young Bob
bic Strawbridge Is undoubtedly in line
for Mr. Milburn's place on the American
team when the latter feels like relin-
gushing the post that he has filed with
so much success. Other poloists entered
IN Forthcoming events are Alfred M.
Collins, John Converse. Radcliffe Ches-
ton and George II. Earle Sd.
Hopping Coming Back.
Earl w. Hopping Is a member. but
for the last two years has been playing
in France. Belgium and England. where

He will be present, however. for the big
tournaments accompanied by S. San
ford, Capt. f. w. Palmes Of the Eng
lish army and A. Grisar. Belgian
player of note.
The Country Club at Bala cannot
claim as many good players. The three
brothers Stokes are still in the van tof
course in the more complimentary sense
of the word). and Albert l.. Smith Is
fast coming to the front.
Boston, with it's Dedham and Myopia
country clubs, has long list OF players,
some of whom have represented these
clubs for more than score of years.
Particularly so John P. Bowditch dele

the Point Judith tournament In August.
From sunny California Carleton Burke
Of the Mdweek Club, Pasadena, known
as the Prince Of California. is bringing
on Eric Pedley Of Del Monte, an un-
known in the East Pedley Is the most
promising young player that will be seen
here this season. Well mounted, a beau
tiful horseman, an extraordinary hitter.
he needs only a little tuition and prac-
tice in fast polo to develop into one OF
the greatest forwards in America. The
remainder of Mr.. Burkes team have
played here before. They are w. 5.
Tevis of the San Mateo Polo Club and
Elmer J. Boeseke, Jr., OF the Santa Bar
bara organization.
The Fauquierj County Club of Virginia
will send w. P. Hubert and Raymond
Belmont. The latter, several years ago.
was one of the best players at Meadow
Brook. In recent years he has lived In
Virginia, devoting his time to a thorough
bred stock farm at Middleburg and play
ing occasional polo The last two sea-
sons, however, he has taken the game
more seriously and Is a greater and
more consistent player than when he was
considered one of the most brilliant
young players on Long Island.
The Hawaiian Polo Club expects to be
represented, IL not by a team, by indi-
vidauls who will assist various teams.
Julias Fleischmann has a very good
team which survived the first round of
the Hampstead cups. This very sporting
aggregation should, with j. c. Cooley g
brilliant playing apd Ambrose Clark's
aggressiveness forward capture trophies
at several tournaments.
The brothers w. r. and ]. p. Grace.
with their Great Neck team, are not so
prominent as they used to be seasons
ago. Let us hope that both Cooperstown
and Great Neck will soon be seen again
in the finals. RI. L.. Talbot. Jr., of the
Dayton Polo Club and Meadow Brook
has ponies here i'm preparation for many
Eastern events.
dozen Canadian players will be seen
at the Thousand Islands tournament, of
which A. Graham Miles is the host.
With three Canadian and similar num-
Der of American teams, very interesting
games should be seen at these very con-
veniently placed islands.
Chicago has enterede a team for the
Point Judith events, and Onwentsia, with
the aid of their new polo manager. Capt.
Beech, an English player of note. should
do well.
Robert H. Hassler when he RECEIVERS
from hts polo accident of this spring will
neglect the polo at indianapolis. where
he has private field, to become mem
Der of team here.
Unfortunately Washington has not
many good players Gen. II. K Bethel
of the British Embassy is the best and
will join the team at Narragansett.
AS may readily be imagined. polo will
not lack anything for want of adherents
this coming season.
