New British Lineup
To Open Polo Cup
Play Tomorrow
Rourk Returned to No, z
Post; Guest to Stort
For American Four
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June "a not quite
perfect team OF United States polo
players will oppose a new lineup of
British stars on the famous inter-
national field of the Meadow Brook
Club tomorrow to open the 18th
International Polo Challenge Cup
series.
The lineups announced today by
Robert E. Strawbridge, jr., chairman
OF the United States Polo Associa-
ton, and Lord Cowdray, nom playing
captain of the British squad, showed
two belated, but not unexpected
changes.
Instead of the contemplated 40
goal perfect team. composed of
four players each carrying the high
est possible handicap rating, the
American Defense Committee chose
to use Winston Guest at back with
three 10-goal stars, Michael Phipps,
Cecil Smith and Thomas Hitchcock,
jr., riding in order in front of him.
Roark Rejoins Britons.
A last-minute change in the
British lineup sent Aidan Roark
back into the lineup at No. 2 with
Gerald Balding dropping back to
No. g. Robert Skene will plav the
No. l position and Eric Tyrrell-
Martin at back.
Although in this country since
early last winter preparing for their
5th challenge since 1921, the British
were forced to experiment with
their lineup during the last week
due to some poor performances in
practice.
Balding, who had been at No.
2, returned to his customary posi-
ton. Roark benched himself for
one test watch while young John
Lakin was tried at No. 2, but he
later showed a brilliant return to
form and that, with his greater ex-
perience in high-goal polo, re-
gained him a place on the team.
Roark is brother of Capt. c. T..
I. Pat) Roark, who was killed in
the first test match played by the
British in California in February.
Guest Chosen for Defense.
The plans for an American 40
goal team were abandoned when it
was found that Stewart Iglehart, a
10-goal No. 3 man, couldn't play
the defensive post as well as Guest,
who has only a 7-goal rating.
There was some uncertainty as to
whether Smith could play in the
first match. The Texan was
shaken up Wednesday in fall
after colliding with Billy Post, but
an examination yesterday showed
he would be in condition to play.
The series is decided on q two
out-of-three basis. After tomor-
rows opening tilt, the teams will
meet again the next two Sundays.

Slaughter in Prospect
For British PoIoists
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, June 3 (N.A.NA).-
The international polo series be-
tween America and England starts
tomorrow, with the English team
conceded to have as least as good
chance of winning as Sir Thomas
Upton used to have of capturing
the Americas Cup in those cele-
brated pursuit races off Newport. ,
Sir Thomas coveted the Americas S
Cup with all his heart and soul,
though nobody could figure out ex-
actly what he planned to put in it,
except tea, and tea, even off New
port, was considered to be bad for
the lining of the stomach, interfer-
Ing as 1t does with the free and
natural absorption of the dry
martini
After chasing American boats hell
for-leather up and down the sea
lanes and after crossing the line on
the same day, which amounts to a
photo finish in yachting. the British
challenger was replaced by T. o. NJ.

as hard as Sir Thomas did, and
once or twice came close enough to

Cooper Again Threat
In National Open
On Gooda|| Golf
Mind Now Free, Vet Pro
Cracks Tough Par in
Round Robin Tourney
BY BILL BONI,
AsSocia ted Press SPORTS Writer,

NEW YORK. June Sit may
sound like an old story, often told,
but this very we'll could be Harry
Cooper's turn to win the national
open golf championship. For the
first time in a year, Cooper's mind
is free to concentrate on his golf
shots, and the results are evident
in his play in the Goodall Round
Robin.
It's true that the dapper little
veteran from Eastern Point, Conn,
has scrambled through each of his
first three rounds in this 126-hole,
$4,000 spectators circus. Yet he has
scored well all the way-6o, SO, 10.
or 2 under a very tough par-and,
when he straightens out those stray
ing tee shots, he may be ready to
hit the jack pot.
For the last year or more Cooper,
whom his fellow pros so often COM
pare to machine, has been tour
ing the country for one OF the ma
jor golf equipment firms. He has
given demonstrations and played ex-
hibitions until he was blue in the
face.
Now Able to Concentrate.
That's over now, and Harry's glad
OF it. "1t got SO bad that when
I had to figure how to play a tougn
shot, Id get all snarled up in my
mind" he said today. II don't
have that trouble now. My mind
is clear. l can concentrate on every
one, and concentration what it
takes to win open championships .
There always has been a feeling
the Cooper should have won one a
long time ago. He came close in
1927, when he tied for first place
with Tommy Armour and then lost
IN a playoff, and again in 1896,
when he was resting in the club
house with what looked the winning
score, only to have Tony Manero
stage blistering finish to beat him
out by two strokes.
The scoring he's done in the
Goodall tourney would look good
IN the open, for the general opinion
Is that 284 should take that. But
Harry knows he'll have to be more
accurate at Philadelphia next week
than he has been here at Fresh
Meadows, and that's his chief aim
now.
Typical Cooper Round.

Full Net Draw Of 81
Set 10 Open Mems
City Meet Today
Younger Rocketers Hope
Weather Will Permit
Title Play Tomorrow
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Given a break in the weather,
Junior and senior tennis players of
the District were to make big strides
today in the finishing and starting
of their respective Star-sponsored
tournaments at Columbia and Edge
moor Country Clubs with activity
scheduled from early morning to
late evening.
Rained out yesterday, the junior
and boy players still were hoping
to prune their remaining survivors
to two in each event today to set
the stage for championship matches
tomorrow. There was a possibility
that Bobbie Bensinger and Sterling
Lee would play for the boys singles
title this afternoon, but neither the
Junior singles nor doubles title tilts
will be played before tomorrow.
Full Draw in Senior Meet.
Out at Edgemoor, full draw of
64 was to start in pursuit of one
years possession of The Star Cup
with only one previous champion in
Cluded in the competition. Hugh
Lynch, present holder of the cup,
was seeded No. /, but the likeable
curly-head has his work cut out
for him to keep it as much as any
champion ever had
1t was the committees hope to
play 80 flrSt-round matches today
and subsequently to reach the round
of 16 by tomorrow dusk. Doubles
very likely will start tomorrow un-
less rain washes out today's entire
program,
Of the five survivors in the Junior
singles tournament this morning,
three of them also were involved in
doubles, so whether the final rounds
in both can be reached today was
coniectural. If such an objective
were fulfilled several contestants
might play as many as three
matches, although only one would
be asked to play more than one sim
giles match.
Juniors to Be Kept Busy.
Because the Byron Matthew'S
Dick Mayfield match is only a quar-
ter final encounter, the winner will
be called upon to face David Kay,
Leonard Sokol's conoueror, shortly
afterWard for a ticket to the finals.
Both Matthews and Mayfield, more
over, are in doubles. and if they and
their partners win their second
round engagements, they will be
asked to DiaV a second doubles
match
The other junior singles fnalist
will be the winner of the Tom
Wadden-Harry Brinkerhoff match.
Walden, now the ranking entrant
with Sokol out. was no better than
an even choice over Brinkerhoff
whom many picked to win the
tournament as soon as his post entry
was discovered.

Association Batters
Led by Hill Third
Straight Week
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. June Sit required
one week for Milwaukee's Johnny
Hill to rise from a 1888 hitter to a
400 slugger, but it appears American
Association pitchers have themselves
permanent assignment in trying to
bring him down.
The Brewer third baseman topped
association batsmen for the third
successive week, averages including
games of Wednesday showed. His
mark of 397, a gain of points, was
II points better than the second
place holders, Jerry Priddy and
Ralph Boyle, both of Kansas City.
A month ago Hill jumped his
average from 1888 to All, good for
second place in the race. The fol-
lowing week he took over first with
.429 and has been there ever since.
John Babich of Kansas City
topped the pitchers with five vic
tories in row and no defeats.
Kansas City held its three-way
team lead with a mark of 1903 in bat
ting, .975 in fielding and 81 double
plays.

Ice conditions along Nome's waterfront remain almost the same as two days ago, one half mile of shore ice which apparent ly is grounded, persists in re- maining with us until the arriV- al of the first boat. However if a little breeze comes up from the south it will probably produce enough high water to float the ice over the bars, thus clearing the Snake River harbor of ice.
 Considerable water is running in the river now and is beginn- ing to eat its way out into the sea ice at the mouth of the river. The cold nights, however, seem to keep in check the flood waters so necessary at this time to force its way out to sea. Anything may

Ashes From Mt. Veniaminof Cover 20 Mile Radius
