CAPT. HOLMES LAUDS
POLO OF INVADERS
Oyeranxiousness in Hitting
Beat Argentenians, Says
the Referee.
ny CAPT. II. H. HOLMES.

RuMsoN, N. j., Aug. 27.-Yesterday's
match was a surprise to students Of polo.
1t was generally conceded that the Ar
Eentine aggregation would not have much
difficulty in defeating the Orange county
team and 1t was thought that the South
American players might capture both
of the trophies that are up for COM
petition here.
This Eeneral belief was based upon
the accounts of the Argentine successes
in England. where they defeated the best
teams opposed to them. This record was
undoubtedly very fine one for q foreign
team to accomplish, but the fact is that
polo IN England not only this year but
Since 1914 is obviously lacking in brill
lance and the individuals and teams
that have hitherto predominated In first
class polo.
However, If the English game Is not
quite up to standard this year the South
American players could do nothing more
than they did---which was to win every
game in which they were fully repre-
sented. The side representing the Ar
gentine Polo Federation is composed OF
players that have every attribute that
goes to make first class team. Their
showing yesterday demonstrated their
wonderful possibilities
Overanxiousness at times tended TO
spoil their team work, but really what
lost them the game was Indifferent stick
work when In possession Of the ball.
This obviously Is only temporary fail
ing as there Is every indication that
these players are wonderful hitters.
A cut up. soggy field perhaps ac-
counted for some OF their misses but the
fact remains that they did not show
the stick work they are capable of dem
onstrating. different story will be told
in their next game. individually and
collectively the Orange county team
played great POLO Rumsey and Stew
enson are brilliant individuals and both
exhibited the kind or polo we expect
of them. Both players have had many
years OF extremely good polo and both
show to advantage under conditions that
prevailed in the very aggressive and
fas. game.
Hartman. while not OF the same cali
ber of player was not found wanting
and Morgan Belmont wfthstood con-
tinual offensive on the part OF the Ar
gentine players that very few backs
could have so successfully weathered.
AS the game was played 1t was evil
dent that the Orange county team ex-
hfbited It's very best and the breaks
of the match were in their favor. The
play of the Argentine side was no indi-
cation of their true form. a condition
obvious to experienced players on the
side lines who were very appreciatfve
of the clean polo they played.

Blame Rule for Shock of
Edicfs Spinaway Surprise
Horsemen Declare Track Law in Kentucky Would
Put Stop to High Class Horses Masquerad-
ing in Selling Races
BY HENRY ". KING.

one OF the Oldest and pest trainers on
the American turf, had been fooled by
her But in view OF the fact that he
protected her on three occasions 1t
doesn't seem probable. But there is
chance that she improved twenty pounds
between each race and that even Mr..
Hildreth did not look for such improve
ment when he sent her TO the post In
the various ceiling races.
The selling race rule also could be
improved If there were some stronger
clause in II which would prevent friendly
claims. During the hast few years there
have been a host of horses claimed which
we're returned to their old barns within
few days. The most recent case or
this kind was Thessaly. This filly ran
in cheap race and was claimed by j. 5.
Cosden for $4,000. but on Saturday she
ran coupled with Edlct in the Splnaway.
BACK I'm the Old Barns.
Last season one horse valor. changed
hands at least half dozen times, but
almost always ran for the same interests.
This spring Billy Watts from the Sim
clair barn ran in and won a claiming
race and was claimed for almost twice
his entered selling price, but like Valor
and Thessaly and several others he
landed back in his old barn.
Allowing horse to be claimed before
a race would do away with this sort of
thing too and the public and all those
interested in the welfare OF the turf
would be protected.
Tho action of the stewards of the
Steepiechase and Hunts Association in
calling off all future over night races

all lovers Of the sport. All such races
here have been n farce. The horses
which competed in them were not worth

Steeplechasing is grand sport, but
it takes real good brand of horses to
