TAMPA, Fla, January l6.-A
"grudge" match between Bryan

today's semi-flnal play in the Dixie

boosted him into a No. ranking, but
he was given little chance against the

So what? Nothing much, perhaps,

played a championship game for the

can call its own. Few know
it. but McQuinn Is a BaIIston
boy, a graduate of one of the
high schools just across the
river, and one Of the pr0mis-
ing local youngsters whom
Clark Griffith failed to see.
Anyway, the Yankees grabbed him,
just as they snapped up Bill Werber
at first. and McQuinn, a fancy fielder
who batted we'll in the minors,
worked in the New York chain-store
system in fond hopes of one day
stepping into Lou Gehrigs shoes.
Lou "Outlives" EN- All.
HIS release the other day served
to accentuate how futile are the
ambitions OF young first 5asemen
who belong TO the Yankees. 1t was
on June 2, 1925, that the late Miller
Higgins sent Gehrig into a ball game

any of them got.
McQuinn seemed to be sitting IN a
nice spot at one time because he
was the last of the understudies, and
people always were looking for signs
of approaching age in Gehrig. When
the Iron Man refused to break into
little pieces, the Yanks sold Nc

but even this noble effort was negli-

BY ROBERT E. STRAWBRIDGE. Jr.
Chairman United States Polo AssociatonD
n JEW YORK, January is tGl.--
The season Of 1885, all OF us
in polo felt, was one of the
most successful the game has
had in some time, chiefly because OF
the increased public interest shown
in all parts OF this country. 1t always
has been the desire of the Polo Asso-
citation to increase public interest in
the game, feeling that the sport has
q great natural appeal 10 the spec
tator.
During this past year there was
effected a reorganization OF the con-
stitution of the association, designed
to increase participation and general
interest in polo throughout the United
States, and in the coming season it
is planned to devote a great deal Of
effort toward the encouragement
Of medium goal polo throughout the
United States.
National Meet to Be Bright.
1T IS early yet to say with any
degree of certainty whether there
will be a visiting foreign team to this
country, but it is highly probable that
If one does come, it will come as a
player in our open championship and
not for a formal international match.
because we had two such matches last
year and it would be difficult for both
men and horses to prepare for an
other in 1897. Rather We look for
ward to one of the best played ma
tional championships the game ever
has had to furnish the highlight Of
the season.
Polo has become a year-round sport
and the first tournaments of the new
year already are well under way in
Texas, and California is on the brink
of another high-goal season. during
which some OF the best players in the
game will be in action.
Tntercircuit Play Scheduled.
I Asst season saw the revival of the
- intercircuit championship with
teams competing from the Southwest
ern. Central, Eastern and Southern di-
visions. This tournament will be held
again this year, and the expectation
now Is that teams from all six divisions

IN the past and which returned to play
last Summer.
The association in the past six
months has received steady flow of
applications of new members, and,
while it is the obvious thing for every
one to say that they look forward to
a highly successful year, think it can
be truthfully said that polo is heading
into an interesting and valuable added
year to its ancient history.
