Polo Series Will
Go on Calendar

NEW YORk-The L. s Polo
association. after several weeks"
of mulling over Great Britain's
challenge for a resumption of their
international series, has decided
to accept, and Association Chair
man Robert f. Strawbridge, jr.,
attended to the formality today
Strawbridge mailed a letter to
Major Hon. j. J. Aston. chairman
of the Nottingham club in Lon
don, saying 'it is with the keenest
pleasure we look forward to a re-
newal of the series of matches
originated more than so years ago
The contests are scheduled in
June on International Field of the
Meadow Brook club, and we shall
be greatly honored to welcome the
British team to our country on
this occasion"
1t will be threematch
series for the International
Polo challenge cup, formerly
known as the Westchester tro-
ply, for which Great Britain
and the United States have
been battling aboard horse
back since 1886.
Great Britain has won only
three of the IL series played, and
it looks like they are doomed to
another disappointment this year
because the United States is pre-
pared to send the first 40-goal
team in history on the field.
There will be Tommy Hitchcock,
10-goal player for II seasons,
who will be in charge of the early
training of the team. And with
him will be Michael Phipps, Cecil
Smith, and Stewart Iglehart.
This combination seems a sure
thing to prevent England from
adding to its victories of 1886,
1902. and 1914.
