Now that their championship grind
Is over, it seems to us the American
Army polo players might loosen up
and present to the defeated Mexican
challengers a little gift as token of
esteem. The mutual regard of the
two squads of malleteers must be quite
sincere after their deciding battle
Wednesday. We would suggest the
gift should also be very real. none
other than a well-seasoned American
Army colonel, delivered all wrapped
up in knowledge of polo.
In other words, we propose to give
the MeXicans a coach. This is not
intended as a facetious remark. They
need guidance in team work. Properly
schooled in that art, they may yet
down the seemingly invincible forces
of the United States. Little else de-
termined the final score of the second
international match. The Americans
were just about four goals better on
tactics. Their margin in other de-
partments was barely perceptible and
might have been overcome easily had
not the visitors been overanxiouS. And
the reason they were slightly frantic
was that the Americans outmaneu-
vered them time and again by the
same trick and repeatedly scored.
With all due respect to the past
mentors of the Southerners, they did
not come to Washington prepared to
cope with the tactics loosed against
them. They had courage, consider
able skill with the stick and superb
horsemanship on their side Against
them was arrayed superior knowl-

The Americans turned play toward the

An experienced Army coach might
have supplied a defense against this

If any one should happen for some
strange reason to take this suggestion
seriously, we propose an army gentle
man named Oscar I. Gates for the
job. He was a major when last We

now he should be. At one juncture
he coached the Yales in the gentle

There were only five starters in the

Marmion second and Mad Frump and

Reichert's Hickory Lad, a bad actor

Trump and Dynastic pulling up on
Marmion, which in turn was gaining
on My Dandy. Around the turn they
came and Mad Trump was moving on

then set sail for My Dandy, catching
the leader about half furlong from

jumps and then Mad Trump went
ahead to win, with My Dandy second.
Marmion faded and Dynastic took the
place. Mad Frump earned $3.50 for
