u. S. ARMY POLOISTS
TAKE THIRD TROPHY

PHILADELPHIA, June 16.-Riding
roughshod over the Green river polo
team of Monmouth, n. j., the u. S.
Army four of Washington added an
other victory to their big list of
triumphs. The Soldiers victory came
in the final round of the Presidents
cup tourney. The score was 12-6.
The cleancut victory gave the Army
aggregation three cups to their credit
since the local polo tournament sea-
son opened. This same four Incl
dentally captured both the Wootton
and the Bryn-Mawr trophies on the
| main line field, while today, as afore-
said. captured a leg on the Presl-
dents cup.
1t is the first time that one team
has ever had the good fortune to win
three cups in one season. The Army
team, however, did not accomplish
the almost impossible without being
extended to the limit. for in all of
the matches they were given some
tough assignments.
In the match with Green River the
Army four played scintillating polo.
They started out in the first chukker

"Whada you fellers want ? Water %
mo, by heck!" seq Jimmy, "we
would like a large long lean hunk of
road pointed in the general diree-
tion of Poza, Sonora, Mexico, and we'd
like to examine it tonight"
"Well, you amt so dam fur off as
you might be, only bout Is miles out
of the way" E0t
Then we headed in the direction this
niee-looking young Mexican fellow
pointed out AS we reyerbrated on
ward weatliscoVered that ether roads
were gathering in and appeared to be
going some place. A few hours af-
forwards we came to Santa Anna-I
think that's her name, but the natives
made it sound more likes San Tanna,' =
which was some confusing to our
style of language. H# 5aa
Amelia coughed once or. twice but
we went right along. We were told to
take the road right along the railroad.
We tried to be neighberly with the
Sud Pacific, but oftimes young rivers
and wood roads interyened to make
our headway sorter revert on us.
With Jimmy, Amelia and perser-
verance darkness found us at Noria,
right on the railroad and delegation
out to meet US, including a German
preserved in mescal.
Weswere sighted to camp fire in a
backyard and advised that we could
get something to eat there. We did.
We found nice-looking Mexican girl
in the banquet room of the place
studying English. When she saw
Jimmy she redoubled her efforts. Next
morning Jimmy got sample in writ
ing from her, but that don't count.
AS we approached the place fell
low with German accent guided us
to the front door and yelled for help.
1t soon arrived and while waiting for
vittles, the German friend said we
could camp in his house, but he had
a wild cat loose in there, adding that
his wife was away. We were willing
to accept his statement as he made
it and made no further inquiries rel
ative to his marital relations. He
also advised that we might have had
Frank Cox's house, but he was away
and had the key. Frank, afterwards
at Nogales when we met him on the
way back, said: "Hell, why didn't you
bust into the place." which shows
how friendly people are down that
way. However, we used Franks back
yard to bolster up couple good bed
rolls.
Having slept close by Amelia that
night she was ready at daylight to
finish up the trip--her very first
foreffoon's work on the journey.
The roads We're good and by noon
we landed at Poza and right in Frank
M. Curtis front yard. It was a mighty
good place to land for there was 9

egged ourselves we come near having
to buy a ranch, or mine, before
! leaving.
/ The next moring Amelia, OF
course, took her forenoon off to have
her duds re-arranged. Several gal
! Ions of water were removed from her
/ parts heretofore containing oil. How
we arrived on water is one of the mys-
tefies of Amelia.
When noon arrived Amelia was full
of pep and we were again on the road
to Poza. The road could be seen in
many places, though it looked as if
! it had been Popocatiptled around for
many hard seasons and would often
NOPE off in several directions all
from the same spot. We started
down the Magdalena river and were
hitting and missing until Jim came
alive all at once and said:
"Hell, this river empties into the
Pacific off here some old place. We
don't want to empty there. Guess,
though, we amt over twenty miles
out of the way"
Along came a teamster and we all
piled onto him with bum chorus of
amateur Spanish, which clouded
things all up. Finally, after a coun-
Gil of war we decided to let one third
of us talk to the man at time and
delegated Jimmy to excruciate the
desired information. The Mexican
was polite, friendly and tried his
darndest to pick out something from
our language and motions that would
k,.,1 irrl.% hfro u
his face in imitation of Jimmy's, to
see if that would help, but it was no
CO. Eventually Jimmy concluded this
poor fellow didn't know his own lang
uage, so we irritated Amelia and
ratified on, feeling that if we were on
the wrong road there was plenty of
other good places to turn around. Sew
eral miles further on we found the
place.
At a wide place in the road we saw
a couple of men working on plans for
tomorrow's labors.
Here we used one word at time
and in different ways until several
other natives who had gathered, got
it worked out into comino. They were
all kind to us and never even cracked
a smile when we endeavored to teach
'em our kind of Spanish by main
strength and vocal volume. One man
finally felt that our thought waves
had hit his radio. He jumped on our
running board, rode back a mile and
showed US a pair of wheel tracks
which seemed to wander off into the
mesquite in about the direction jim
said he thought we were going if we
got where we intended. We skeeted
along nicely for few miles and came
to COW ranch. Jimmy started to
articulate some of our Spanish to a
young fellow, when he. came back,

as to how it was lawful dam funny
Jimmy was almost too busy to GO
around gathering up any of the anus
ing sides or ends of the recent sub
marine event. / don't know just what
he did or said during his amour de
Amelia, but ne eventually wiped her
face, put her hood on, revolved the
radiator handle or somethin, to init
mate the wheels should retaliate, and
we left that whole gang of helpful
friends and mules right in the middle
of the road stupified when we, went
away so sudden on our way to Mag
dalena.
Trouble? Nix, amigo. Amelia
sneezed some of course on account of
the night air and damp treatment, but
Magdalena was coming toward aus
rapidly.
We went right into town from the
front end, down the main street,
though none of us had ever been
there before. We had just passed the
curteal or courthouse and were speak
ing one to the other as to where would
be good place to stop. "Kerplangw
went one whole side of Amelia's left
hind wheel, so loud that it brought
the guards out and made bunch of
people in that section think for mo-
ment new revolution had started.
And fellow citizens laugh with us
at the wisdom of Amelia Ford.
Right down a half block stood big
sign telling where her fathers store
was-Hennery's.
There we were right in town, right
at home, our hotel next door to
Amelia's. The owner Of the hotel
was a kindly man, and though he
could not speak English there was
something about Jimmy's face and
the slack of his belt which brought
about an understanding of interior de-
pletion. He led as around by a dew
ious route to the Washington restau-
rant where he made overtures on the
door. We found that flock of Chi
namen run the place. 1t was locked
up but they sized US up and concluded
to let us in.
After having thoroughly ham and

feller down the road mile has; I'll
go and get him."
We hadn't seen many folks that day
but in a short time there was road-
full of junior sort of mules, men and
boys who had come to see where the
marine disaster had occurred.
We hitched up all together and
pointed the way out amid many re-
marks made mostly in a foreign
language, which did not seem to have
the force it would have had in real
Volstead country urgent words. The
toot onsomble started forwards, but
we pulled out draw-bar or some
very essential thing among the mules
which severed our mutual attachment,
and Amelia sagged back to her river
bed. This having been remedied and
each of the high-geared hay burners
spoken to again, we came ashore. Of
course this delayed US some. But me
and Jim thought that >as soon as we
had pesoed the pisanos and spoke
pleasant, Amelia having sorter dried
her sox, we'd be on our way again.
Jimmy thought that while it might
possibly be that the bed roll wasn't
wet, the internal cavities of Amelia
might be some damp with standing in
the water so long, including sand,
spark plugs, etc.,--climate, scenery m
everything. Again Jim and me had
sort of comforting thought that
regardless of Amelia's feelings, the
bed roll wasn't damp and Jim's old
hand hadn't lost its cunning with a,
skillet.
The farm boys and muleteers smiled
a good deal to themselves in the dark
and their own language. Much of this
being foreign, we couldn't make out,
but being human, there did seem to
be an underlying current of thought
