Tradition has it that polo, orig
inally known in Persia as "Chu-
gam" was originated by a court
physician more than two thousand
years ago.
Faced with the precarious task of
keeping an exacting Persian mon
arch and his court followers in good
health be abandoned the usual
practices of the day, such as blood
letting, which was recognized as
the cure-all of his time, and invent
ed the game to supply exercise for
his sovereign.
He advised the supreme Majesty
that he had discovered medicine
stick which. If used strictly in &C.
cordance with instructions, would
transmit health and happiness
through its medicated handle to the
exalted parsonage who might WELD
1t with vigor.
Each ailing member of the court
was presented with a medicine"
stick and mounted on the smallest
horse available and instructed in
the art of impelling small wooden
ball, in spite of opposition from
the "evil spirits" toward a certain
goal which was designated as the
gateway of health"
In the excitement of the game all
ments were forgotten, at least mo-
mentarily. Even when the inev-
liable muscular tortures gripped the
the following day, the
man stood his ground and
by cracking the lash of fear and SUI
perstition over the backs of his
charges, managed to hold them to
their task long enough to work the
kinks out Of their muscles. Even
tually their energetic welding of
the medicine sticks" at "Chugan"
restored health and strength to the
ruler and his court. And don't think
for moment that the Emperor fail
ed to see that the inventor of the
medicine stick" was amply re-
warded for the great service he had
rendered.
England passed the game of polo
on to this country In 1876 the late
James Gordon Bennett brought over
from London a number of forage
caps, jerseys, mallets and wooden
balls. He and several of his asso-
ciates tried the new game at Dick
els Riding Academy in New York
Shortly after. the players formed
the Westchester Polo Club. An d
