Matches Will Be Held in Patter- son Hall; Lee Markham Chosen Referee “T've never seen Brown in better Bhape,” Fred Bruny, trainer, said of ‘Tony Brown, 195 pound Bismarck fighter whose bout with Gus Heib, 190, Jamestown, will headline a 34- round boxing card at the Patterson hall Thursday night. Bruny, at different times, has had eharge of the training of both men, and he believes the eight-round go ‘will be one of the best matches ever put on in Bismarck. The Jamestown battler has taken two of three meetings with the local serapper and Tony is eager to even things up. According to Bruny. Heib is a puncher, and Brown is a combin- ation of puncher and boxer, and both are tough heavyweights any way you Jook at it. Five-round, double semi-windups fre scheduled: Johnnie Schneider, 180, Moorhead, Minn. and Vern Glodry, 188, Britton, 8. D.; and Otis Jackson, 155, Dawson, and Swede Lar- gon, 155, Jamestown. Glodry needs no introduction to Capital City fans, having boxed on 4 number of cards here. A lot of leath- er will be flying in his match’ with Schneider, who has been headquarter- ed at Bismarck for some time. Jackson will attempt to revenge the trimming a fellow townsman, Kid Howard, received at the hands of Larson. This ought to be good.

I., in 1886. Polo, at that time new in the United States, was 20 years old in England, and the seasoned Hurlingham players, cap- tained by John Watson, one of the greatest players of all time, not only were far ahead of our riders in the matter of teamwork but had the finest polo ponies in the world. The British won overwhelmingly, but the lesson of their precision and team play started America study- ‘jing, scheming, devising. It was real- ized that polo ponies not only are born but made Breeders took up the busi- ness of raising mounts and training them to the rigorous and acrobatic du- ties of polo alone. Players experiment- ed with “systems” of play that might be likened to our modern gridiron styles. * es * So when a return series was played at Hurlingham in 1902 the American team, composed of Keene, Waterbury, Agassiz and Cowdin, at least made a respectable showing against a British four rated among the mightiest com- bination that ever straddled a horse. The United States team won the first match, 2 to 1, but England’s Buck- master, Miller, C. N. Nickalls and P. W. Nickalls took the next two, 6 to 1 and 7 to 1. It was not until 1909 that the Amer- icans. were able to beat the British. With baffling team play and superior pobies, they swept two games at Hur- lingham. Harry Payne Whitney, De- vereaux Milburn and the two Water- burys were the winners. The same team won again in 1911 and 1913 at Meadowbrook, but the British came over the following year and took the cup. The golden era of polo in this country began with the series of 1921 which presented Tommy Hitchcock, J. W. Webb and L. E. Stod- dard to international play. Since then the British never have won an inter- national match. * * * ‘Thousands thronged Meadowbrook for the international matches, but it’s a long way from Meadowbrook to the Midwick Club, at Los Angeles, and polo made its way slowly across the land. Because of the high prices of trained ponies and the time required for a player to attain a respectable rating, it was accepted generally as a sport for the wealthy. But breeding farms for ponies be- gan to multiply throughout the coun- try—in Texas, Arizona, Wyoming, Ida- ho, Utah, California, Virginia, New j York and Canada—with the organi- zation of a National Polo Pony Soc: lety. The remount department of the United States Army helped to produce fine mounts, and at Army posts scat- tered across thé country the game be- came a favorite pastime. Australians and Argentinians came to the United States, and our teams went invading, interchanging ideas, trading and buying ponies. The game became faster, demanded more skill and held more gh peril year by year. * * Last summer at Chicago a half cen- tury of the sport in this country was summarized. The wide spread of polo into every state had produced west- erners wl could meet on an even basis the high-goal easterners. Texas gave Cecil Smith and Rube Williams, hell-for-leather malletcers, to the western team. California sent its El- mer Boeseke, Jr., one of the best play- ers in the country today.

Both Fighters Predict Wins by Knockout for Battle Tues- day Night Philadelphia, Feb. 13.—()—Max Schmeling, former world’s heavy- weight champion, crashes into the first barrier on his comeback trail Tuesday night. Steve Hamas, youthful Jerseyman who first gained athletic fame at the Pennsylvania State College, is that barrier, and the promoters expect 15,000 enthusiasts to witness the clash. It is Philadelphia's most important boxing bout since 1926, the year that Gene Tunney, late of the U. 8. Ma- Tines, knocked the heavyweight crown from the head of the manassa mauler, Jack Dempsey. Schmeling, dubbed by some the Ger- man Dempsey, is a seven-to-five favor- ite to conquer Hamas in their 12-round battle. The fight prophets suggest that Schmeling will find his opportun- ity as the Passaic youngster wades in too aggressively for his own safety. Both fighters are claiming victory 4 @ knockout. bre imeaat ee "Babe Ruth Offered |x Po.
