WITH BRITISH FOUR

NEW YORK, September 3.-The
British polo team which faces Amer
ica next Saturday in the first of the
international challenge cup series at
Meadowbrook has two strong candi-
dates for the No. 1 position. Lieut.
Col. r. p. Melville apparently has the
call now for the post. but Mai. L. w.

choice.
Col. Melville is AZ, the oldest mem
ber OF the invading squad, and has
been playing polo for nearly 80 years
He gained fame as star while sta
toned in India returning for World
War service. after which he played
on championship teams annually. He
was a reserve on the 1921 Interna-
tional team and played with the Brit
ish army team which was defeated
at Meadowbrook last year by the
United States Army.
Maj Kirkwood is another army
star, but this is his first intema-
tional experience. He was born IN
Scotland OF Irish parents 40 years
ago and began playing polo at IL.

| observation has no equal in the
world.
But while polo was budding at
Meadow Brook they were not idle
at Newport. where by 1885 the game
| had attained a state Of proficiency so
high that its promoters deemed II
worth while TO put up a cup and
haunt defiance in the face of English
polo. This cup. then called the
| Westchester polo trophy. was des-
| tined to become famous as the in.
ternational trophy. the cup for which
| the English and American fours
| will compete beginning Saturday. 1t
| stands second in point Of interna-
| tional significance to the American
cup. and about 1t has gathered a
store OF rich tradition that will go
| on into the years with ever fresh
| accretions.
English poloists lost no time in
challenging for the silver prize. and
| later in the year a team crossed the
ocean determined to give the Ameri-
| can noviceS a lesson or two. Which
| they did.
Thus began international polo,
which has since continued through
| the years with ever increasing ardor,
| with a steady Improvement in skill
| by the teams OF both countries and
undiminished good will.
The Americas cup, the famous
yachting trophy which for more than
70 years has been the symbol of the
| worlds yachting supremacy, Is as
| ISOLATED with a tradition not always
| pleasant. not always digpifed, IL we
| regard 1t as undignified when gentle
men lose their tempers and fall into
| controversy.
Sports Effects Far-ReachinE.
But the international polo trophy
| which the British won in 1856 has ever
| stood serene as an outward and visible
token Of common friendliness and esteem
as between English and American horse
| men. There is not the slightest doubt that
these matches. which began nearly 40
years ago, have brought certain impor-
| tant classes in the two countries into
relationship that has been constructive
along lines outreaching polo as a sport,
and from the standpoint of the game it
self these International matches have
certainly been influential in the develop
ment Of polo throughout the United
States.
And the growth has been enormous.
So widespread has 1t been that member
ship has been subdivided into sectional
circuits involving every section of the
United States and all possessions. The
game is played, and well played, at all
cavalry posts and posts OF other
branches of the service as well. The
game is we'll founded in the Middle
West, in the South. the Middle States
and New England.
Nearly 900 civilian playing members
belong to the Polo Association. repre-
senting 66 polo organizations in this
country and the Dominion of Canada.
The intercollegiate game is established
on a growing scale, while the progress
Of the United States Army is clearly de-
fined when it is stated that last year
an Army four defeated the pick Of the
British army in a series OF games for
the international service championship.
