CLASSIC HUNT RACE

n ERRYVILLE, Va, September g.
ID The Annefield Cup races will be

William Bell Watkins, near here, un-
der the auspices of the Blue Ridge

Three races, and possibly fourth,

more specifically to Meadowbrook-it
may be said it has accepted the new
order cheerfully and. if the West
wins, as it should, there will be no
withholding of acclaim.
For the main course lying behind
this intersectional series is American
polo against the world-defense
against foreign invaders who come
here in quest of the international tro-
ply, which has travelled back and
forth across the Atlantic several
times, but now seems destined, thanks
to Texas and the Far West, for long
stay on these shores.
1t is unlikely that the East-West
series soon will be repeated-not for
two or three years anyway. The feel
ing among the polo association au-
thorities is that some such interval
should separate the contests, not only
to prevent the public from losing a
sense of novelty. but in order that in
ternational engagements, In which
Eastern and Western players would
combine, should not be neglected.

BY LAWRENCE BARRETT.

NEW YORK. September 8-That
East-West series-best two out of
three-which begins Wednesday will
be a thrilling demonstration of the
finest polo that exists on this earth.
Fare where you will, from the burn
ing brown fields of Bengal to the un-
wontedly sun-scorched turf of Hurl-
ingham, to the rarified meSas of the
Argentine-go anywhere and no polo
will be found such as that which will
go forward on the flawleSs emerald
turf of the international field at
Meadow Brook
1t is commentary upon the ad-
vance of this plunging hell-for-
leather pastime from its original
source in the East that the invading
four, comprising Californians and
Texans, is the favorite to win this
series.

may be, it is seldom applauded unless
an amateur is riding, whereas almost
any round of the ring will bring a
burst of appreciation from the stands
if the rider is known as a sportsman,
rather than a business man in the
horse world.
This, however, seems to have little
effect on the policies of large stable
owners devoted to the noble purpose
Of winning ribbons. Very well, then
so much must be accepted if not ap-
proved. But one thing the owners
certainly could do-require the men
riding for them to dress decently. The
ring at a place like Warrenton is dedi-
Gated to a show, spectacle, not a
schooling parade. Yet we saw at least
half dozen riders come into the in
closure repeatedly last Monday and
Tuesday, coatleSs, hatlesS or wearing
some slouched cap, in unpublished boots,
a definitely unattractive sight. Itdoes
not seem reasonable to fatten horses,
braid names and tails, rub them to
a gloss, and then send out some sort
of vagabond gypsy to appear astride
them.

A LMOST any horse breeder can
" give you a thousand reasons
n for his preference for thor
oughbredS, half-breeds, hack
neys, percherons or flve-gaited sad
dlers-whatever type he fancies and
raises. He can explain why his chosen
breed is superior, why it really is the
most attractive of all animals and
would fit nicely into a vacant stall in
your stable.
Usually he is prepared to defend his
selection against the criticisms of an
opposing school. For that reason we
were profoundly surprised by the reac-
ton of the visiting Mtsiican polo in
ternationalists when they saw those
fat and altitudinous Virginia thor
oughbreds this week at the Warrenton
Horse Show. AS doubtless you know,
the Mexicans have a much smaller
type of horse. akin to the we'll known
Texas pony in this country. There

is a mixture of Spanish barb and
Arab blood in the line, which has
proved convenient as a cross for pro-
ducing nimble polo ponies, although
recently the clean bred horse has been
preferred also for following the
willow.
NATURALLY we expected Capt.
IN Juan Gracia, who was the chief
interviewee of our discussion of
the subject, to announce that Amer
leans are crazy to grow their horses
so big when small, wiry ponies will
carry them as long and as well. We
imagined he would point to the ridicu-
lous number of broken-down thor
oughbreds in the world and argue that
15-hand Mexican horse can work
all day with 180 pounds up and come
home sound.
He said nothing of the sort. Capt.
Gracia and every one Of his comrades
seemed both awed and delighted by
the types they saw in action at War
renton. They praised them, spoke
enviously Of all who could own such
handsome animals, and announced
they are now directing the breeding
in Mexico toward production of a
larger, heavier horse, as close to clean
bred as they can get with the existing
stock Of brood mares and stations
available. The Mexicans have estab-
lshed several remount stations for
their army, with stations farmed out
in various sections of the country.
There Is no reason, they point out,
why they SHOULD not be able to get as
fine thoroughbreds as their Northern
neighbors. The climate in the Meci-
can lower plateau regions is quite
temperate, vegetation strongly re-
sembles that of this area, and there
Is good bone food in the soil. Capt.
Gracia says the MeXicanS will attempt
to set l6 hands as their goal of aver
age height, giving them a standard
not quite as large as the American,
but much larger than the ponies of
yesteryear. Also there probably will
be considerable substance to the
horses, for the Arab cross supplies
that.
THAT Capt. Gracia knows what
i he is talking about when he
speaks Of horses was evidenced
during the polo pony contests at War
renton. He watched each pony as it
performed, and while they were CIV
ing a final examination for sound
ness, sat in the box and informed
your correspondent and Lieut.. Alex
ander McCone, our gracious inter-
prefer, that such and such was the
best pony such and such the second
best and so on. We never saw him
miss, his ratings coinciding exactly
with the judges.
1t seems they do not have horse
shows in Mexico, but Capt. Gracia was
favorably impressed with the idea for
future reference, when they begin to
turn out show types. Now the only
tests are the cfoss-country rides over
jumps, of the sort the officers run off
at the Olympics. There also are a
few polo pony contests, consisting
chiefly of bending races and fast
work with sudden checking. They
are required to dash around
the bending poles, stop suddenly and
make the pony stand absolutely
X
MO MATTER who protests, it
seems there will continue to be
too many groomS and profess
sionals riding in the important horse
show classes. We have yet to find any
non-artisan spectator who would con-
done the practice or who failed to ap-
preciate the activities Of amateurs.
This reaction is obvious If one stands
at the ringside and observes that no

heavyweight situation back where 1t
was when Gene Tunney retired and
left it up to Jack Sharkey and Max
Schmenng to settle it out between
them. 80
Lasky is taking no chances on such
an impasse. He is booked to meet
Steve Hamas September 81 or october
! S, the date depending on those in
control of the Garden dates. A VIC
tory over Hamas would place him In
| the forefront of Baer's challengers.
Hamas defeated Max SchmeEng,
whose knockout over Walter Neusel
put him on the comeback trail.
Lasky went out to Baers own
stamping grounds, the Pacific Coast,
and drew down as little as $l00 for a
fight to convince the fans he was a
real fighter.
Seems Loaded for Baer.
TT GOT SO that the promoters asked,
"Is there any one we can pick
whom you will not fight?" The
answer came back, "You pick the guy
and then get us Baer."
From this it would seem that Lasky
Is loaded for Baer and Is in the Fest
determined to prove his worth. So
fan he is getting along fine. So much
so that even Jack Dempsey, whom
Lasky boxed. in one of his exhibition
bouts, likes his chances against his
protege.
Fans like Lasky. He is natural, un-
affected and does not put on any
show. No matter where you meet him
he Is the same bright chap with
smile and sensible answer to any

AS Lasky remarks, he has but three

body requiring plenty of nourish-
ment; fights, because he revels in CIV
