GARDEN DROPS

NEW YORK, July 19.-Max
Baer, conquerer of Max Schmel'
ing, will have to wait until next
year for a crack at Primo Car
nera's heavyweight crown. 1t was
announced at Madison Square
Garden thai negotiations for q
Baer-Carnera fight this Septenl-

There never were three big
heavyweight scraps in one year

the Garden feels a title bout this
fall, in the wake of the Baer"

strain on the public'S pocketbook.
The Garden may stage a show
at Miami next February between
Da Preem and some formidable

Moons game with the Grl11me
Allan Sothoron, coach and for,
mer right-hand man for Killefer,
has taken charge of the team
His appointment as acting mana
ger was received from President
Phil Ball shortly after K1llefer'S s
resignation was announced.
Killefer's resignation is not a
surprise in most baseball circles
today, as his name has been
linked with the report that he
was to become the manager OF
the Boston Red Sox in 1884.
Rumors Were Denied
Despite this, Killefer denied re,
ports of break from the Browns
last week when the Browns ar
rived in this city for their series
with the Griffmen.
Nothing to it," he said.
"AIsO nothing to it that I'm to
manage the Boston Red SOx. /
have enough on my hands as
it is to lead the Browns"
Since then, however there
seems to have bobbed up a diff
ference between Killefer and clut
officials, particularly L. c. Nc
Evoy, vice president. In fac>, it il
understood that McEvoy requested
the resignation of Killefer, which
the latter proffered. This led t.
the announcements from Phil Bal
naming Allan Sothoron as actin|
manager.
McEvOy Hurries Here
McEvoy made a hurried tr1l
to Washington from st. Loui
to investigate the reports tina
Killifer would not manage tn
club next season.
Killifer holds an iron-clad con
tract covering the entire 1913
playing season, and this will b
paid in full.
Killifer succeeded Dan Howle
as manager of the Browns a
the close of the 1929 season
Before that he was coach unde
Howley. Sothoron was signed t.
coach the Brown in 1882. H
pitched for the Browns in 1915
1919, 1920 and part of 1921.

POLO|STS
STAGE HOT.
BATTLES
By HARRY COSTELLO

Oy 11fAUOkS1 WV NAAO
At this time of year, polo
comes into it's own.
It is brought under the spot
light of publicity, and each sue
ceeding summer season finds the
American public more and more
interested in the ancient game.
Always popular with Army Off
GERS, polo's charm lies in it's rapid
action. AS a game it develops in
players the desirable traits of self
control, quickness of observation,
judgment, nerve and endurance.
The U. S. Army had done much
to encourage polo, and each Tues
day and Thursday Army teams
play the game on specially pre-
pared fields in Potomac Park.
These pickup teams play bang-up
polo. too.
The National Junior Polo
Championships are now in prog
ress at Old Westbury, N. Y,
where Hitchcock. Guest. the Hop
pings, Smith, Rube Williams (the
cowboy, Gerald Balding and
other high-goal stars are in
action.
Democratic Game Now
It is interesting to note that
most of these stars are centerS OF
teams of younger players, thus
nicely illustrating the point that,
nowadays, the idea is to help de-
velop the game as democratic
institution. Not so many years
ago polo was game for the
wealthier classes only, due to ex-
pense of maintaining a specially
trained stud of ponies for the
pastime. This interest in develop
ing younger players grew out Of
Army activities in polo.
Polo was introduced in this
country in 1885 from England,
where it had been introduced in
1871 by the Tenth HussarS, regl-
ment normally stationed in India.
While little is really known of its
origin, it probably originated in
the East, where it seems to have
been a favorite pastime in Persia,
Tartary and the frontiers of In
dia.
Amongst the Manipuris, a semi
independent tribe dwelling on the
northeast frontier of India, the
game was known as "kunjai."
The English name, "polo," proba-
bly, came from the word "pulu,"
which is Tibetan for ball" Some
authorities claim the original
home of polo was Tibet and that
polo reached India through Al
ghaniStan.
A Rough Game
Combination of mounts and
players, calling for high degree
of coordination, individual skill
and ability, and interference"
are important elements of play.
YRiding off," one feature of in
reference" is one of sports most
sensational plays, brings personal
contact, so dear to the hearts OF
all Americans, and constitutes
one of the most rigorous phases
of playing polo.
The rapidity with which
mounts turn and move from spot
to spot, and the aggresslVeness OF
players contrive to give those who
love action plenty of thrills dur
ing the course of even a pickup
game.
Army players are said by fol-
lowers of polo to be trough as
He'll" which indicates that any
Tuesday or Thursday afternoon
you desire to look in on a good,
rough contest, you have only to
drive down to the Potomac Park
polo fields to witness real thrill
ers for action.
