where he is regarded as one OF the top
factors Of the classic field.
As the course is now, this is any
oody's championship, for putting will
be bigger factor than ever. As the

Of 6,53S yards will be nearer its truer
value.
Sarazen and Mitchell Do Wen
The two best scores to-day were
turned in by Abe Mitchell and Gene
Sarazen, Sarazen having 6S and
Mitchell a SO. For over two months
the quiet hard-putting Englishman has
had series of nightmares on the
green. His putter, once among his ia
vorite instruments, went back on him
completely and only in the last day or
two has he begun to get his touch and
confidence again.
With this confidence partially re-
stored he was out in 35 and back in
80 to-day for a wonderfully steady
march TO this effect.

RumsOns Making
Elaborate Plans
For Polo Tourney

Arrangements arc already we'll un-
der way TO handle all Of the spectators
that may care TO travel down to Red
Bank. n. j., 10 watch the National
Open Polo Tournament during the
fortnight from August 26 10 Septem-
Der ., IL was announced yesterday by
the polo committee 81 the Rumson
Country Club, OF which Louis +. Stod-
dard, American internationalist. is
chairman.
II is planned at present 10 erect
stands for 400 people. but IL IL seems
probable, ms the time for the tourna-
ment draws near, that more will at
tend the games. seating space will be
provided for twice or three times that
number, one OF the committeeman de-
clared. In addition negotiations are
now under way with the Central Rail
road OF New Jersey 10 have special
trains run from Atlantic Highlands.
where the New York boat docks, 10 the
station at Seabright, which is within
easy reach Of the polo field, during
the period of the tournament.
Rumson Is especially fortunate in
having two polo fields. OF which one is
particularly adapted 20 wet weather
and one TO dry. II is certain. there
fore. that the tournament teams will
find the terrain in splendid condition
for their games, no matter what the
yagaries OF the weather may be be-
tween now and the end OF August,
while II moderate atmospheric condi-
tions happen to prevail during the next
six weeks il will be possible to run OF
two matches on the same afternoon or
simultaneously. Mr.. Stoddard. who
looked the grounds over recently. cx-
pressed himself most enthusiastically
about them.
IL seems n certainty that the crowds
OF onloOkers for which Rumson is
making such careful preparations will
see hrst-class polo in every match.
The three American teams that will
contend for the title will be faced by
the Argentine four which has just won
the English championship cup. the
TempictOn team. on which Coloncls
Barrett and Tompkinson, both intcrna-
tionalists. are playing, and the Eastcott
team, composed Of Earl ". Hopping
and S. Sanford, American players:
Major V. y. Lockett. one OF the best OF
the English backs. and A. Grisar. n
very promising Belgian. II was this
latter combination that gave the Ar
gentine team its hardest battle in the
finals Of the British championship. In
fact. il is said that all OF the tcn-goal
players on both sides Of the water eX-
ccpt two will participate in the tourna-
ment. 80 that. though there will be no
international teams playing as units.
the standard Of the matches will be not
far below that Of tho very best that
the sport affords With play Of this
calibor scheduled. IL seems safe 10 pre-
dict that the tournament will draw all
of the polo enthusiasts in the vicinity.
In conjunction with the regular cup
offered for the winning Of the national
open tournament. the contestants viii
compete this year FOR the II. J.. Herbert
Memorial Cup, Of which rcplieas will
be given each member Of the winning
team. while the trophy itself will re-
main in contest.
