 For the Second Time

New York, Sept. 9.-The opening game of the international polo series between the United States and Great Britain scheduled at the Meadow Brook club. Westerly L. l.. this af- ternoon has been postponed because of rain.
 The game will be played tomorrow afternoon. starting at o'clock, if the weather permits.
 Today's postponement was the sec ond successive time that the wealth CT has stopped the start of the series. Wet grounds forced the cancellation of the original opening last Satur- day.
 Officials of the United States Polo association, in spite of showers ear ly this morning and generally threat ening weather, held off announce ment of a postponement until 'early this afternoon. A fresh downpour ended all hope that the field would be in playing condition.
 The postponement again disap- pointed the crowd Of about 40,000, which was expected to witness the opening with the Prince of Wales as the guest Of honor. Several hun- dred already had gathered outside the field when final decision to call off the game was reached.
 If the first match is played tomor- row, it is expected the rest Of the series will be played on schedule. The second game is slated for next Saturday and the third for Septem- Der l7.

PROBABLE CAUSE
 IN GI0NFRIDDO CASE
tcontinued on Second Page,

 He testified that he saw Gionfriddo raise his hand and push 1t forward. and almost simultaneously he heard the sound of a>blow being struck. and Fox fell. The three men start ed to walk away fast and the po- liceman ran and caught Gionfriddo and arrested him.
 When placed under arrest, Gra- beck said that Gionfriddo admitted that he had struck Fox, and later on he said that he struck him be- cause Fox would not get out of his way.
 Gionfriddo told the court that Fox bumped into him, and then called him back and asked him what was the matter with him. The defendant alleged that he asked Fox if he wanted the whole sidewalk and got a slap in the face for an answer. Thereupon, he said he took hold of Fox's hand and pushed him, Fox falling as he did.
 pr. Peter Fox, who attended the deceased man, told the court that Fox had died of hypostatic pneu- monia which very often develops as a result of broken hip because of the necessity of placing the pa- tient in a plaster cast, and laying him on his back.
