BY the Associated Press.


WESTBURY, N. Y, Sept. l2.-The
leading candidate for the 1899 United
States international polo team, which
will play England early next season,
apparently Is not any individual but
team-Old Westbury.
The powerful quartet Of Mike
Phipps, Cecil Smith, Stewart Ielehart
and c. v. Whitney won the national
open title for the second year yes
terday. again defeating Tommy Hitch
cocks Greentree four, which had been
strengthened. The score was Is to 7,
even more decisive than the Ills score
Of last years final
A crowd of 36,220. largest In the
history Of the event, saw Old Westbury
play better polo all the way, al
though Whitney was injured early in
the game when his cousin, John Hay
Whitney. who plays back for Green
tree, missed shot and struck him with
q mallet. In the nth perid Smith was
thrown and kicked by his horse, but
remained in the game.
Smith, one of three 10-goal players
in action, and Phipps, rated at 8
goals, did practically all OF Old West
bury's scoring. They made seven and
six tallies. respectively.
Tommy and little Pete Bostwick
played some fine polo for the losers,
but Greentree never was in the run
ming after Old Westbury's 3-goal
fourth period.

The rapidly-growing list OF local
horse enthusiasts gots its fill of high
class entertainment over the week end
when feature events in neighboring
States attracted thousands of fans to
witness the strenuous competition.
In Virginia the seth annual horse
show afforded an opportunity to see
many Of Americas top-flight 1laow
jumpers, including Hexameter. one Of
the most sensational performers Of
recent yeas and the thoroughbred
expert critics consider in a class by
himself.
At Fair Hill, Md. wherc many
Washingtonians were included in the
thousands who witnessed the Fox
catcher National Cup steeplechsse. q
large field Of leading hedge hoppers
put on string struggle reminiscent
Of movie thriller.
Those with less time, and less fuel
in their autos, found keen sport in
nearby Olney, Md, where another
horse show attracted = soodly crowd
Of exhibitors and onlookers.
Today the main subject seems to
center around the Northern invader,
Hexameter.
What about this perfect"
show Jumper? Where will he
30 from here? Is there NO
stopping him?
In the first place, We would answer
no" to the last question. After
watching the 7-year-old in . num-
Der of different classes In the hunter
show Of America" our conclusion was
that the well-proportioned brown fel-
low will keep right on cleaning up.
He's too sensible, too well handled by
both his trainer and rider to lose his
magic powers. It will take old age
to bring him back to his competitors
or 50 We figure.
Imported to this country from Eng
land by the Howe Stable when . year.
ling, Hexameter was trained for the
race track. but despite his royal blood
lines he simply did not have the neces-
sary dash to make good. Even the
strain Of Roi Herode, The Tetrarch
and Spearmint coursing through his
veins he was founh wanting.

W0MEN'S TENNIS
LOSES GATE LURE
Bulge Is Crowd Magnet at
National as Fans Ignore
Moody-Iess Group.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. H.
Multiple marriages and galloping neu-
ritis have combined TO take all the zing
out Of vomen's tennis. Except for the
few who have trekked to an outlying
court to watch Kay Stammers play
because they think she's pretty, GUS
toners at the national championships
here are showing no interest In the
girls.
The one most sorely missed is. Of
course, Helen Wills Moody. The reign
ing Wimbledon champion. who with
drew from the event upon advice Of
her physician. Likewise missing from
the lists are Anita Lizane OF Chile,
who won the American title last year,
and Dorothy Round of England. 1887
Wimbledon queen. Both have married
since their victories.
With these three gone, there are
only such old-line stalwarts as Helen
Jacobs, Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, Nine
Rene Matthew, Alice Marble, Miss
Stammers and Mrs. Sara Palfrey Fab
yam to carry the load, and they aren't
very exciting. Today, for instance,
there were l6 survivors, and they were
the Is who were seeded before the
tournament began.
Bulge Pressed BY Texan.
The lack Of interest in the women
serves to emphasize the tremendous
drawing power Of Red Bulge and, to q
lesser extent, John Bromwich Of Aus
tralia. The tournament is 4 sell-out
almost daily and is certain to gross the
biggest sum in its 57-year history.
1t Is easy to understand why the anna
teur tennis bodies Of this country
and England are trying to convince
Bulge he should not associate with
professionals
Bulge, himself, remains q sweet
mystery. Three days ago. playing
against Welby Van Horn of Los An
geles, he was a curly wolf. Yesterday
he was a picture Of suspended anima-
ton. 1t took him three hard sets, 6-3,
IS, 81, to subdue Bob Kamrath
Of Austin, Tex. and he never looked
the great CHAMPION he is.
Kamrath, q clowning blond with a
blasting service. won eight games at
love from Bulge. five Of them in a
row in the second set. Bulge ordinar-
lily doesn't get goose-egged that many
times In an entire summer. Kamrath,
leading SIS, had two set points in the
second set, but knocked both over the
baseline. Bulge went through the
French and Wimbledan championships
without dropping = set.
Don Troubled by Throat.
The champ still is troubled by &
sore throat and his blood pressure Is
30 far below normal they are thinking
Of sending divers down to grapple for
1t. He insists. however, that he will
not default As long as he's on his feet.
OF the four mems matches on to-
days card. the one most worth watch
ing was that between Franjo Puncec,
the Yugoslav Davis Cup star, and Gene
Mako. famed principally as Budge's
doubles partner.

LADDBUSH PUNCH
Of RIDER GR|DMEN
Coach Wobdworth Likely to
Build New Team Around
Good Kicker, Passer.

The scoring punch so badly needed
by the Roosevelt High School football
team-it made only two touchdowns
during the championship series last
year-may be built around young
Frank Yankee" Laddbush. captain
of the Riders 1898 edition.
Aside from Laddbush, Dick Metzler,
another back, and Dan Boothe, end,
are the only letter men Coach Lynn
Woodwork has In his squad Of so
hopefuls out for the team. Through
graduation he lost his two all-high
players. Joe Kolker, tackle, and Eddie
Vasvary, guard. as well as half q dozen
others who will be hard to replace.
Laddbush Likely Quarter.
Bill Smith: his quarterback, has
gone, and Laddbush probably will
step into that post. Fred Mundy,
halfback. and Paul Dunbar and Dick
Bartenstein, ends, also are missing.
Individual stars seldom are found
on one Of Woodworth's teams, how
ever. as he stresses teamwork over
individual performances. Only for
starting purposes does he have what
could be called = first team" and
in not 4 game last year were less
than 20 players used.
In spite Of this. system, however,
Laddbush bids fair to be the one to
lead Roosevelt's scoring drives. In
pre-school practice sessions he has
demonstrated that he can pass and
kick As we'll rs run the ball.
Boothe Seen Helpful.
Another experienced player who
should be an aid to the Riders Is
Boothe. the only letter end returning,
who gives promise Of being q good

Other members of Woodworth's

When 1t comes to tennis and

is different in golf. where Cali

California has had only her
normal share Of ball players-of
leading ball players. The Cotton
wood trail has led the field here
in the last few years. California
also has had only her normal share
OF star football players. The aver
age has been high-but in no sense
overpowering.
But 1t is entirely different when
