HEARST TROPHY.
ADDS IN NTEREST
TOREGATTA

The American speedboat cham
pionship, with the beautiful Will
liam Randolph Hearst trophy as a
prize, adds greatly to the interest,
both local and national, of the
Presidents Cup Regatta.
This was the conclusive opinion
today among regatta supporters,
following a meeting of the board
of directors of the Presidents Cup
Regatta Association last night, at
which time the deed of gift for
the trophy was accepted.
Thrilling Race
Last year this particular race
was known as the free-for-all. 1t
was a thriller in every respect, and
this year it promises to be even
more interesting, in that faster
field will compete, including all
types of boats.
Such boats as the Betty V,
owned and driven by Melvin
Crooks, and the Pep III, piloted by
John Bramble, have entered the
race, while many more of the same
caliber will compete.
Cruise Planned
One of the added features of
the entire regatta program will be
a moonlight cruise down the Po-
tomac on the Wilson line steamer
City of washington. This event
is scheduled on September 10, and
the object is to stimulate further
interest in the regatta.
Oliver Gasch is arranging for
this cruise and announces great
program of entertainment will
keep the cruise a busy one. Pro-
ceeds will go towards financing
this years regatta.

Square in the service-and all
right on a horse, did some real
polo playing. He rode hard and
hit harder. He is a cinch to see
service in the international
matches. Scanning my notes on
the game I see that Rogers rode
hard and was always on the
ball. And that is almost under
stating the case. He seemed
never to be away from the ball
as it bounced merrily over the
field.
Gen. Azcarate Pine was en-
Unused over the riding of the
Americans, but still confident
that his compatriots would give
an excellent account of them
selves. He said
"They are powerful, these
Army riders, and we have re-
spect for them. But the un-
expected is the thrill of sport.
We hope to thrill you, senOr."

Too bad Jim Guy didn't gel

to attend the pony. Soon he was

There's a zest and verve in polo
carried by no other game in the
lists, for the very reason of the
partnership and cooperation Of
the man and his horse.
The equine aristocrats are bum
dies of nerves, burning living fires
under those velvet skins. Their
brown eyes seem to blaze in the
runs over the field and if the
riders give all they have in the
thrilling ride-offs that mark the
game, the straining horses do their
share with an abandon that al
most bespeaks love of the thrills
that mark the sport.

A Fair Deal
As the only identified spokes-
man in Washington to whom
Mr.. Phillip H. Fur feels he can
speak his soul, let me me state
that Mr.. Furr would rather
meet Mr.. Robert Wilson, the
pink-touseled pretender to the
welterweight throne, for any
matchmaker in washington or
the world for that matter, than
for Mr.. Goldie Ahearn, the
promoter of the Riding and
Hunt Club, Twenty-second and

ing of Ninth and E Streets,
same section.
Briefly, Mr.. Phillip H. Furr
is plenty disgusted with Mr..
Ahearn. He never liked him in
the first place and at present
he simply loathes him. He'd
gladly meet Wilson for nothing
in the public square at high
noon with 10000 tired business
men and as many roSy-cheeked
kids looking on, than to fight
under the auspices of Mr..
Goldie Ahearn.
Mr.. Phillip H. Furr is unable
to account for this disgust
which has come over him for
the matchmaker who so mag
unanimously put him on top of
the welterweight heap in Wash

Finish Plans
for Possible
Flag Playoff
HeydIer Reveals First Tilt
Would Be on Tuesday
at st. Louis.
United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Because
Of the increasing possibility that the
New York Giants and st. Louis
Cardinals may finish their sched-
ules tied for the National League
lead, league officials have completed
plans for baseball's first "constitu-
tional" pennant playoff series.
League President John A. Heyd-
Ter announced that if the race ends
in a tie Sunday, the two clubs will
battle it out in three game series,
as provided for in the leagues con-
stitution. Such a playoff never has
been held.
He said the first game would be
held at st. Louis on Tuesday. After
that the two clubs would board a
special train and arrive in New
York in time to play the second
game at 230 p. m. Wednesday. If
a third game is necessary, it will
be held at the Polo Grounds on
Thursday.
This schedule would destroy the
present schedule for the world
series, which is slated to open at
Detroit on Wednesday. Hence,
President Heydler asked baseball
commissioner Lands to re-arrange
the world series schedule, in case
of a play-off, so that the winning
National League team would have
a day of rest before meeting De-
troit.
Thus the world series could not
open before Friday, Oct. 5, and if
a third play-of game were neces-
sary, the big series would open on
Oct. 6.
Gate receipts for the play-off
games would be split $3.50 between
the New York and st. Louis clubs.
However, the players would not re-
ceive any extra compensation or
prize money. Regular season prices
would prevail.
