English Not Eager
for Polo Match With
American Team Soon

New York, JAN 2S.-Unless John
Bull listens to reason there will be
an international polo match only
every five years. According to an
announcement made at the annual
meeting Of the National Polo as
sociation, England intends to
gradually build up its polo strength
with tournaments with India and
possibly Argentina before tackling
another American four.
Under the plan advanced by the
Britons, the tournament for the in
ternationa1 cup would alternate be-
tween the two countries every five
years. This arrangement fails to
bring any cheers from this side OF
the Atlantic.
After winning the cup last yeal
in England the defending association
is anxious for spirited conn ,tition.
Polo officials here will communicate
with the birmingham club and en-
dcavor to convince the English
poloists that international tourna-
ments should be held more often if
existing interest is to be held in
the sport.

meet with Lafayette. When the day
of the clash arrived the Lafayette
manager hurried to a train to meet
the Indian squad. All he found was
Warner, accompanied by lin
Thorpe and Tewanina. his two lead
ing performers.
An inquiry concerning the where
abouts of the other redskin entries
produced the amazing reply from
Warner that they had been left back
at Carlisle. Later in the day Lafay-
ettc fans realized that Thorpe and
his mate were as complete a team as
any college could hope for.
While Tewanina was landing first
place in all the long distance running
events Thorpe was making a clean
sweep of the sprints and the field
numbers.
This recalls the feat of Sherman
Landers, later University of Penn
sylvania track captain, and Frank
Loomis, later worlds hurdle cham
pion and Olympic winner, who. as
the two-man team, representing
Oregon (Ill) High school, won
from a field of national class in the
annual Stages interscholastic track
meet at Chicago six years ago.

New Rules Govern
Swimming Meets

New York. Jan. 28.-Many new
changes have been introduced in
competitive swimming by the
Amateur Athletic union. At the
suggestion Of Norman Ross. the
Olympic champion, and members Of
the Western association, Mr.. Ruben,
president of the Metropolitan as
sociation, has announced the new
rules that will govern swimming in
the future.
The most important of these is
the change made in the starting Of
the athletes off their marks. In the
past it was customary as in track
meet to send the swimmers away
after saying: Get on your mark;
get set" then the gun. In the fu-
.ture it will be get set" then the

Golfer Gives Recipe /
for Hole in One

z z 4
Golfers who have been favored in
the matter of making holes in one
shot have, often been asked by less
fortunate ones. How do you do it!"
In most cases the player gives credit
to the goddess OF chance. But
Tony Natala, professional at the
Landsdowne Country club, claims he
has a recipe. He was playing i'll a
foursome recently at Philmont. and
they came to the fourth hole, some
think like 100 yards.
"I've got just the right club for
a hole in one, Tony" said one of
the players, laughing, make your
shot with my Club"
"Sure l will" said Tony, hitting
the ball, which rolled right into the
cup.
That's nothing at all, nothing, !
assure you," said Tony. when
ever anybody offers to lend you a
strange club with which to play a
short hole take him up. The last
time somebody did that to me Imade

Large Number Of Thoroughbred
Foals Registered This Year

Those interested in the thorough
bred will be pleased to learn there
is a marked increase in the number
of thoroughbreds foals registered
this year with the Jockey club over
last season.
In comparison with the high wa
ter mark of 4,4Q0 when racing was
at the crest of its popularity in this
country in 1906, the 2,1l7 of this
year reported by Registrar Herkert
of the Jockey club shows a marked
depreciation. When measured with
the 1887 of 1918, or the 1928 of
1919, however, it is proof that the
pendulum is swinging back and the
interest in blood stock production
on the increase.
One of the healthiest signs Of the
times for the lovers of the thorough
bred is the demand by small breed
ers in various parts of the country
for clean bred stations and mares.
The farmers of the Genesee valley
have found the possession Of we'll
bred mare an asset. Such dams do
their share of the farm work and
their foals command higher figure
than those from cold-b -blooded FAM
lilies.

Benny Kauff an Outcast From
Baseball = Loses Suit Against
New York Nationals and Lands

/ New York, Jan. 28.-Benny Kauff
has in all probability passed beyond
the pale Of organized baseball for
ever.
Justice Whitaker in the supreme
court here several days ago denied
Benny's application for a permanent
injunction to restrain the Giants and
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
high commissioner of baseball, from
continuing his suspension.
Justice Whitaker pointed out that
Kauff's contract with the Giants ex-
pired last October. This means that
he now has no contract and there
is, therefore, no basis for the relief
he seeks.
Kauff's troubles began when he
was charged with the sale of stolen
automobiles a year ago. This case
came to trial last summer and the
ball player was acquitted
He at once sought reinstatement
from Judge Lands. When Lis appli-
cation was denied, he filed the suit
in which decision was handed down
recently.
It was in lol4-1of5, in the days
OF. the Federal league, that Benny
Kauff first flashed spectacularly
across the margin of the game. With
Indianapolis and Brooklyn of the i'll
fated outlaw major circuit, he at
tracted widespread attention by his
batting and base running feats.
Babe Ruth vas pitcher then and
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, Joe Jackson
and Iris Speaker were the batting
kings. Kaufe. was thought to threat
en- the supremacy OF this trio.
He tried to jump to the Giants
