REMODELED BRITISH
FOUR FAILS TO SHINE

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. September 13.-
Although the two changes effected in
the British international polo lineup
apparently have strengthened the in
vading forces for the second game
against the United States tomorrow,
yesterdays practice match in which
the challengers beat picked team of
three Americans and one Briton in
tensified the belief of experts that they
would continue to be American prop
erty.
Preparing for tomorrow's interna-
tional match, the British won with
their revamped lineup when a pony
kicked through the final point in the
eighth chukker. Both Capt. Richard
George and Capt. John Dening, the
requirements at Nos. and 2, respec-
lively, stood out at times in the Brit
ish attack. 1t was the backfield
players-Nraj. Eric Atkinson and Capt.
G. Il. |. Roark, who were off form.
Observers thought the British to-
morrow would put up better exhibit
ton than they did last Saturday, when
they fell before the big four by 1873
count.
Opposed to the British quartet yes
terday were Stephen Sanford. Win
ston Guest, ]. Cheever Cowdin and
Lieut.. III. P. Guinness, the latter being
British substitute. They tied up the
score in the seventh chukker, scoring
three goals, while holding the British
scoreless. Guest, Sanford and GUM
ness scored in rapid succession. while
the challengers were doing much aim
less riding and hitting of a sort that
did not put them in position to score.

BASS DEFEATS CHAPMAN:
CLAIMS FEATHER TITLE

| listed smuggling attack sustained
rounds. Selling his advantage from
the injury to Chapman's eye, which
slowed up and handicapped the Bos-
ton boxer. Bass dashed and harried
his foe about the ring. Chapman's
boxing skill. which had given him an
earlier advantage ON points, enabled
him to avert a threatened Knockout
several times, but especially in the
ninth.
In this round Bass himself appeared
nearly as groggy as Chapman after
the first sudden impact that sent them
both to the floor. They had come cut
swinging and their left leads connected
Simultaneously to the head. Benny
rolled hack to the ropes, then to the
floor as Chapman fell fiat. The
dilemma of Referee Frank McCracke
was solved when Bass got up.
Pennsylvania boxing authorities,
who sanctioned the bout as title af-
fair. will seek recognition of Bass as
champion by the New York State Ath-
letic Commission and the National
Boxing Association.
1t is probable, however. that these
bodies will ask Bass to meet one or
more other contenders before dis
pensing any title award. The New
York ring board already has named
Tony CanZoneri as a contender.
