MINNESOTA MEET
WON'T HIT NASSAU
Planned Along Princeton
Lines, but Will Feature
Different Events.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n YEW YORK, July 14.-H, as
M has been said. imitation is
the sincerest flattery, Prince
4 ton had better begin the
preparation of suitable acknowledge
ment to the University of Minnesota,
which is seriously considering the in
stitution of an invitation track and
field meet in the stadium at Minne-
apolis conducted along the lines Of
the affair at old Nassau.
Thus Minnesota hopes to give to
the Middle West what Princeton gave
to the East-a series of events with
the field of competitors limited to
champions or near-champions in
these features.
Different Events Planned.
THERE seems to be no intention OF
cutting in on the Princeton pro-
gram. which includes only a few
selected events out of many available
track and field features. The Gopher
idea is to take events which Prince
ton does not use. Perhaps this may
not work out so well practically If
the Minnesota invitation affair ma
terializes.
1t may be that at least some OF the
events on the Nassau card will be
found desirable, if only because every
one of them was selected because of
its popularity. But If this happens
Princeton undoubtedly would be most
amiable about it-unless Minnesota
had the misfortune to find that the
only possible date for the meet would
lie in the same week in which the
Princeton show Is held.

No Conflict Intended,

IN SUCH case, such is the tact and
consideration Of sister universities
one for the other, Minnesota probably
would be inclined to abandon the
project rather than cause a conflict
so grevious.
Indeed this matter is so serious
that it might be well were Frank Nc
Cormick, director Of athletics at the
Minneapolis institution, to consider
the question of dates before he does
anything else in connection with the
proposed meet.

Teams Are High Glass.

N EXPERIMENT with interna-
tional play in the United States
Mexico matches proved. however, that
the diplomats, the cave-dweller So
cialites and official society in general
would join in supporting high-goal
play. Backing from those quarters
should be forthcoming again this
Summer, as the Southeastern tourna-
ment will offer approximately the
same caliber of performers in its out
standing stars, although the aggregate
handicap of any one team cannot be
more than IL goals. nor the individual
rating above (Which is international
stuff in anybodys league).
Originally the Iriquois Polo Club
of Louisville, KY, and the Fort Ben
ming Polo Club of Georgia entered
the matches, but later found they
could not put in an appearance. 1t
is to be hoped that in the future not
only these organizations but their
counterparts in Philadelphia, Rumson
and even Long Island can be per-
suaded to come here to compete with
the Maryland, Virginia and District
squads.

10TEAMS TOPLAY
BEGINNING FRIDAY
Invaders and Local Army
Fours in Series That
Runs to July 26.
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS. JR.

"\HE most parduoAlcdl Polo so"h
in America at last is about to
come into its own as a center
l. of the fastest ball game in
eportdom. Washington, where the
pastime of maharajahs draws more
of following from the city directory
rather than from the social regis
ter, will have a top-notch tourna-
ment on Potomac Park field be-
ginning Friday and continuing
through July 26.
Provided -ne public responds as
hackers of the competition expect,
the tournament of 1886 will be mere
ly the inaugural of an annual series
intended to develop polo here on
level with the horse show, the hunt
races and the other equestrian meets,
for which the. National Capital sup
plies a population axis.
The unusual fact about the history
of the galloping game in this city is
that it reads like a reverse record of
the sport in every other town where
it has gained a foothold. Usually,
mallet-mauling is introduced by a
group of wealthy men, backed by their
friends, who join an exclusive club
for the purpose, and the matches
later opened to the public on GER
tain occasions-perhaps. This was
the sequence in England. on Long
Island, in Chicago, the West Coast
and other places where the rip-snort-
ing, f1re-eating excitement of mount
ed swat has caught the public fancy
so much that the crowds practically
demanded to be admitted.
Open Game to Public.
ONCE the English, the Long Island
~ millionaires and the West Coast
cowboys caught onto the fact that
their stick k-and-ballantics could be
popularized, they opened the gate to
all who had the price of ticket. In
Washington it always has been open,
usually without tax. The most ardent
fans here come pouring out of the Gov
ernment offices, the local business
houses, after closing hours. They
know their players, the PONIES and
even quite bit about the tactical side
of the game.
To them the "home teams" are the
Sd Cavalry and the 18th Field Artil-
lery fours from Fort Myer, and the
players attached to the War Depart
ment. They turn out enthusiastically
for the round-robin matches between
these outfits, and when visitors come
to town from the Loudoun-Fauquier
Polo Club, the Quantico Marines or
elsewhere, there is an embattled
cheering section to support the native
talent. Around this town polo is as
much a game of the people as base ball
or raSSling.

EYSTON FLASHES
TO MORE MARKS
Averages 142.61 for 5000
Miles as Leading Feat
in Stirring Series.
By the Associated Press.

~ ONNEVILLE SALT FLATS,
- Utah. July 14.-More endur-
ance land speed records fell
- today before Capt. George
Eyston and his Speed of the Winds
as the English racer neared the end
of 48-hour grind over the salt fats.
After breaking a number of records
at shorter distances he sent his H.
cylinder machine across the 5000
mile mark last night for a new record
of 142.6l miles an hour. The old
mark of 10989 was held by Montlhery,
Perrot, Dhome and Girod of France.
The same Frenchmen set the A.
hour record Of 10954 miles an hour
and Travelled 5,257.92 miles to a rec
ord. Capt. Eyston passed that mile
age mark hours before the scheduled
end of his run at 1923 am. (9:29 am.

tion-wide survey of State-imposed
taxes.

GETS
NEWD|VISI0N

Preparations by the Bureau of
Internal Revenue for handling tax
collection under the Social Secu-
rity program were revealed today
as officials announced creation of
a new division within the bureaus
miscellaneous tax unit.
The new group, to be known as
the old age tax division, is headed
by Newton Montgomery and is or
ganized to handle tax returns from
approximately 100000 employers
and firms, the first of which are
due by March l.
At present skeleton structure,
the division will hire at least 300
new clerks by the time it's work
reaches its peak in early spring.
The majority of the new workers,
it is expected will be drawn from
eligible rolls of the Civil Service
Commission, plus some with civil
service status who transfer from
other units.
Additional space must also be
found for the bulky amount of rec
ords which the division will &C
quire in the course of the work.
It is possible some of the new
workers will be sent to the DeMoll
Building, at Eleventh and G Street
Northwest, where the Internal
Revenue Bureau now has an aux
Hilary force, or the bureau may
lease one of several small office
buildings available outside the
congeSted area.
Replies to information on tax
exemption will occupy the new
units skeleton force until it's pro-
gram is fully under way.
