NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The
American pony polo team in 1924
consisted of j. Watson Webb, Tom

good team, so good that it beat the
British challengers 16 to 5, and IA
to 5.
The same big -Four" were be-
lieved to be good enough to win
again this year from British team
that appeared no stronger than the
last, but the defense committee re-
moved Webb and Stevenson and
placed Winnie Guest, former Yale
captain, and j. Cheever Cowdin in
their places.
This met with the approval OF
the fashionable Meadowbrook set.
but those of practical turn of mind
said the combination never could do.
The new members of the team had
all the social requirements and the
family background, but they didn't.
have the experience OF, the men they
replaced.
The committee stuck to its selec4
ton until the new four was made
to look very badly in trial match
Sunday and then suddenly an-
nounced that Webb, the only south
paw in the game and one. of the best
riders in the saddle, and Stevenson
were back on the team.
Guest, Cowdin, Bob Strawbridge

named as substitutes. V

LII pires are able to manage
major league ball clubs competently.
His debut in the big show must be
classed as decided success.
The few umpires who took a whirl
at the managerial game, were none
too successful and when owner
Frank Navin turned the Detroit club
over to Moriarty, the wiseacres
agreed that one year would be about
his limit.
Getting away to a bad start, due
to tough break in the weather as

things looked mighty blue for a

Moriarty frankly admitted man
aging was a tougher job than UNI

umpire worried for only two hours
daily while the manager had
twenty-four hours of it.

BALL REGRETS THIs

IL victory (as.I write these lines

can see Phil Ball, owner of the
Browns, crashing his teeth and in
dulging in few favorite words of
profanity.
at present, Charley Root is the
most efficient pitcher in the majors.
He has a chance to win thirty ball
games. And, just think Of it, for a
period of three years he was the
property of one Phil Ball, whose
club never was worse off for
pitchers.
George Sisler, when manager of
the Browns, traded Root to Los An
geles with several other Brownies
for the battery of Lyons and Rego,
neither of whom made the grade in
the majors.
