three places assigned to this section.
They were A. B. Thorn Of Woodmont
A. L. Houghton of Kenwood and Mel
Shorey of East Potomac Park. None
qualified for the final day Of play in
the open at Interlachen.
Probably Three to Qualify.
Although todays announcements by
the national golf body does not desig-
nate the number of places that will be
open TO the qualifers from this neck
Of the woods, in past years there have
been three PLACES available. Probably
the same number will be open this year.
Nrio will oil az 11l0C-

state in which district he intends to
qualify. In addition to the sectional

the local pros may attempt TO qualify at
other nearby places.
In the Philadelphia district the sec
tional tests will be played at White
marsh Valley Club and in Pittsburgh
n the trials will be held at the famed
Oakmont course. In all there will be 20

In addition to the pros, entries Of
amateur golfers who have a handicap
rating of three strokes or less will be

are to be at 36 holes. Thirty-four
players who finished well up in last
years open, are exempt from qualifying
this year. Included in this list is
Tommy Armour, former Congressional
pro; Bobby Jones, the present title
holder and three other former holders
Of the title.
No announcement on the amateur
title tilt has yet come from the U. 8.
@. A., but the sectional qualifying
rounds for the national amateur cham
pionship probably viii be played in the
same way. with either the Columbia
Country Club course or the Five Farms
course Of Baltimore Country Club to be
chosen for the trials in this section.
In this initial test by the u. S. G. A.
of the sectional qualifying try-outs as
applied to amateurs, men with handi-

Thomas Hitchcock, father of the bril-
liant young leader Of the victorious 1880
American international polo team, led
the first four horsemen of American
polo. The other players for the United
States were Foxhall Keene, Raymond
Belmont and w. K. Thorn. In the first
international match, which was played
at Newport, the American team lost in
straight games. The cup went to Eng

Fourteen years later another Ameri-

Keene was. still riding. With him were

In this match the Americans won one
game, but the British team won the
match and the cup remained in Eng

The big Four"

THE big Four" retained the cup for
i the United States with victory
over a brilliant English team,
headed by Capt Louis Cheape, in 1911.
BY this time the SoundnesS of the
American theory of playing the game
was established. The big Four" was
even faster than it was when it rode at
birmingham and rode away with the
CUP.
The match of 1918 was strange mix
ture of melodrama and mishapS New
American riders were coming to the
fore, including Louis Stoddard, one OF
the great builders of American polo,
and Malcolm Stevenson. When Monty
Waterbury broke finger in practice
and could hardly hold his mallet, Louis
Stoddard was entered to play with the
big Four" Harry Payne Whitney
withdrew from the team and Malcolm
Stevenson went into it. The veteran
Foxhall Keene took the leadership.
The English team also was unfOr-
tunate during the preliminaries. Its
best player, Walter Buckmaster, was
thrown hard in practice and was out
of the game. The atmosphere around
the match was cIcuded with conten-
ton. It ended with the original
Big Four" taking the field against
England, ara the Big FOur won,
but these polo players never rode
again together in international COM
petition.
The Waterbury brothers and Devereux
Milburn rode together in 1914, with
Rene Montague in place of Harry Payne
Whitney, and they met a great British
team, headed by Capt Cheape and in
GLIDING Capt. H. A. Tomkinson, Mai.
F. w Barrett and Capt. Lockett. That
year the British won and the cup went
back again to birmingham. Then the
World War called all the polo players
of all the nations into harder riding
game. And some of these never rode
again.

STOCKS ARE FIRM
AT SHORT SESSION
Narrow Price Changes o.
cur as Selling Pressure
Declines.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 10.-Quiet but
steady, today's week end stock market
1uctuated over a narrow range. There
was no renewal of the furry of selling
which marked the last half hour of
trading on Friday, but on the other
hand there was no resumption Of the
advance.
First quotations were shade under
the finals of the day before, but that loss
was soon made up and thereafter the
market drifted aimleSsly. The only
feature was the failure of liquidation
to develop, following the weak close in
the preceding session. A month ago a
selling wave of that sort would have
brought heavy offerings at the opening
the next morning, but it die nothing of
the sort today. All of which speaks
significantly for the improved techninal
position
Chemicals Sell OF.
The price cutting in the chemical in
dustry was reflected in another new low
for Allied Chemical at the opening, but
the stock rallied vigorously after the
overnight orders had been executed.
Doubtless there was some short cover
ing, stimulated by the Steadiness in the
rest of the list. Sicily Oil directors
omitted the dividend on the common
stock, but there was only a fractional
decline The preferred sold off point,
but 1t had had sharp recovery earlier
in the week.
Copper stocks were shade lower, re-
hecting the unsatisfactory demand in
the metal market, but their losses, too,
were Observation-Disclosures indicative of
an improved speculative sentiment. On
the other hand, United States Steel
starting in fractionally lower than Fri
days close, advanced in the second
hour, and many other tndustrials and
utilities made moderate gains.
Price movements in the rails were
mixed but In the main they held their
recent advances surprisingly well. They
have still to face q series Of unfavorable
monthly earnings comparisons and have
in their favor only the consolidation
outlook and the fact that at their
present levels they have discounted
about the worst that is likely to happen.
New York Central was particularly well
supported today.
Specialties Group.
Among the specialties which made
good showing were the Continental
Baking shares. The small amount out
standing in the case of the "A" stock
makes for a rapid rise in earnings per
share with any increase in the corpo-
ration's net and consequently gives that
issue trading preference. 1t was up
point or so today. Worthington Pump
and Vanadium enjoyed their usual
strong market sponsorship.
