American golfers have had only ordinary success in international play and as a golf nation the United States is much younger than it is on the court. Polo, another of the more polite sports, has mixed success to Amer- ican teams, and, although the inter- national cup is held at present in this country, the supremacy of this country is not so pronounced, as England had to start all over aft- er the ravages of the war. The United States has yet to be defeated in the Olympic games, most- ly because this country has such a big start and has such an immen: field to draw from. With the di velopment of track and field sports in the smaller European nations, the prestige of the United States is threatened and will be actually en- dangered at the Paris games next summer, 4 Buropean nations still hold almost complete sway in fencing, and Amer- ican oarsmen have not been consist- ently successful in the big interna- ad each won the cup six times, but the break this summer put the American team in the lead.
