PEIPING, July 17.-For the
first time in three centuries two
Chinese teams recently galloped
about a polo field. The historic
occasion was part Of the athletic
meeting of Gen. Shang Chen'S
thirty-second National Army held
at the Temple Of Agriculture here.
Game Lapsed
Although the Chinese were play.
ing polo a thousand years ago, the
game was allowed to lapse and
was not revived until inspiration
was furnished by Lieut.. Henry s..
Jernigan, young Kentuckian and
West Pointer of Uncle Sans cav
airy. He is stationed in Pieping
for the study Of the Chinese Ian
guage.
Lieutenant Jernigan while
watching the initial game declared
that the Chinese team, which is
scheduled to meet a mixed Amer.
lean and British four shortly,
would undoubtedly win against
the Peiping aggregation.
Guests On Hand

TUNA
PLENTIFUL IN
NOVA SCOTIA

, Herring are plentiful along the
coast Of Nova Scotia and as tuna
follow the herring into the har-
bors the season may be said 20
be officially open. Off Liverpool
fishing captains have run across
some good specimens weighing
from 400 to TOO pounds and on
July IL two big fellows followed
the herring into the harbor itself.
Tuna may be obtained along
almost the entire Atlantic coast
of Nova Scotia. Liverpool is one
Of the favored headquarters for
anglers. The average charge
made by fishing captains at Liver
pool is IS per day when the angler
furnishes his own boat.
Rates Reasonable
Boat, bait and services Of a
fishing captain can be obtained
for $40 per day or $50 per week.
Two complete sets Of modern tuna
equipment are available for rem.
tai at IS each per day. Four
boats especially equipped for tuna
angling are available at rates
quoted above at Liverpool.
A weekly fishing report is issued
by George H. HIATT, Information
Bureau, Liverpool, N. S., and may
be obtained by anyone interested.
Anglers wishing Geographic in
formation may obtain same by
contracting Mr.. HIATT, who will
send wire bulletins on conditions,
collect, at any time and for any
length of period requested.
Permit Of Entry
Yachts or power boats Of
American registry on pleasure or
health cruises in Nova Scotia
waters should apply to the col
lector Of customs at their port Of
entry for a permit which allows
them to cruise at will in Canada.
There is no charge made for this
permit. It is good until October
/ and should be turned in at the
final port Of call before leaving
Canadian waters.
The cost Of gasoline for power
boats is the same as that for auto
mobiles, namely from 20 cents to
80 cents per imperial gallon,
which is larger: five American
quarts making one imperial gal
lon. There is no refund in tax
included in this price excepting
to men using gasoline while en-
gagged in fishing when dependent
upon fishing for a livelihood.

OPPOSITION

The American swimming team
for the Olympic Games in Berlin
in 1886, will have to look out for
the Germans and Japanese as
their keenest competitors for gold
medals.
On the basis Of the Dusseldorf
elimination results, German Off
Gals proudly assert that Germany
is well on her way to regain her
hegemony in swimming Of past
years.
SietaS in Form
Ernst Sietas, Of Hamburg, ap-
peared in excellent form when he
cut o. seconds off the French
mans Cartonnet admired worlds
record, and covered the 200 me-
tiers in 2 minutes 42.4 seconds
breast stroke. The half distance
mark of 100 meters was covered
by him in / minute 1873 seconds,
marking a new national record.
In free-style, Germany is lead
ing Europe now with four men
scoring under the former Euro
pean record established by Hun
gary.
New Record
Heibel, Of Bremen, established
a new European record when he
made 200 meters in 2 minutes 1876
seconds, closely followed by
NeuSke-Stettin and SchwarZ-Mag-
deburg.
Even more formidable chal-
lengers for Olympic titles will be
the German girls team. Hanni
Hoelzner, holder Of the women's
200 yards worlds freestyle rec
ord, has got a serious rival in
Miss Marthe Genenger who estab'
lished a new European record
over 200 yards in 3 minutes 0.8
seconds. Over 400 meters Miss
Ruth Halbsguth, Of Berlin, is Ger.
many's best free-styler, clocking 6
minutes So seconds indoors.

I would like to say, first, that
Madison Square Garden, in an
nouncing that Joe Jacobs had
signed for Max Schmeling to meet
Max Baer in September, has no
more assurance for this statement
than did Promoter Mike Jacobs
with his previous declaration that
Joe Jacobs had signed for Schmel-
ing to meet Joe Louis in Septem-
Der.
Briefly, frankly and to the
point, the only man who can sign
for Max Schmeling to do any
thing is Max Schmeling.
Promoter Jacobs should know
that by this time. So should Madl-
son Square Garden. The former,
I understand, has already under.
written" Manager Jacobs on his
trips abroad to the amount Of
$500 and all he has got so far is
a picture post card Of the Rhine
by moonlight. The Garden has
gone even further. It is said to
have invested $4,000 in the same
cauSe-but with slightly less ef-
feet.
Travelled Twice
It sent Manager Jacobs abroad
twice in the last six months, once
on his promise to get Schmeling
for Steve Hamas and again to
produce the fighter here for a
title fight with Baer in June. But
each time Manager Jacobs was
singularly unsuccessful. The only
thing he brought back was q
change Of linen.
That's why Promoter Jacobs
was trying to get Schmeling per-
sonally on the transatlantic tele-
phone from Chicago the other
night. He knew that Schmeling
alone could give the answer and,
at the same time, he realized that
nobody yet had received a direct
word from the fighter.
Probably Prom oter Jacobs
should have taken this precaution
before announcing his Schmeling-
Louis fight, but, no doubt, he felt
that he was in the clear. He had
received a cable from Manager
Jacobs, stating that Schmeling
had accepted the Louis match via
the telephone, but insisted on an
extra 3 per cent and that a guar
antee Of $4,000 be posted in a
German bank. Promoter Jacobs
reply was that the extra percent
age was kosher, but, owing to the
fact that any money that is posted
in Germany can be considered
permanently posted, he would
have to insist upon an American
bank.
Hearing no more, he assured

that everything was just splendid
and went ahead with his an.
nouncement. I greatly suspect
now that the promotion behind
the propose Schmeling-Louis
fight never fully expected to see
Schmeling in the same ring with
the colored man.
Therefore, the general tendency
is to feel that the Garden may
have some basis Of fact for an
nouncing the following: That
Baer signed last Friday night for
Schmeling and that Schmeling,
through Joe Jacobs, signed for
Baer before Jacobs sailed for
Germany; that the winner will be
sent right along to a title fight
next year with James j. Braddock,
If possible.
An Exception
It's here that Promoter Jacobs
organization takes an exception.
It claims-and with excellent rea-
son-that nobody will get the
Braddock shot, as far as the New
York Boxing Commission is con.
cerned, until the Louis matter is
thoroughly taken up. Moreover,
they won't take that kind Of a
Braddock fight out Of town, with
Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh and
other centers Of population so
strongly. pro-Louis, and it is a
further fact that the only three
heavyweight fights that will draw
more than the field attendants
each call for Louis to be one Of
the principals.
It was to confide a few ideas
of this nature that Promoter
Jacobs attempted to reach Schme-
ling in person last night.

Of J|NX WALLS

The accident which put Earle
Combs in the hospital there last
July with a fractured skull has
made all outfielders chary Of the
close walls at SportSmans Park at
st. Louis.
They play fly balls gingerly,
with an eye on the ball and an eye
on the wall, and the number OF
two-base hits are evidence Of
fielders' unwillingneSs to test the
resistance of their noggins against
the bleacher fences.
They play the balls safely now
and take 'em on the rebound.
