The Yankees won easily from the Chicago White Sox and the Sen- ators started auspiciously in the tt game of a critical series by beating the Tigers. The Yanks are trailing the Sen- ators by one game, but the Tigers are now five games behind the champions, The standing in the American league at the conclusion of today's game was Washington, .590; New York, .583; Detroit, .546.

AMERICANS TAK MATCH IN POL Britishers Downed, 16 to 5, in Opening Title Play at Meadowbrook; Devereaux Milburn Is Star By FRANK GETTY (United Press Staff Correspondent) MEADOWBROOK CLUB, WESTBURY, L. I., Sept. 13. —tTheir lathered ponies chunning the green turf in irresis- tible rushes, mallets humming and hammering goal after goal, America’s powerful polo four overwhelmed the in- vaders from the British isles today and gained the first leg on this year’s international series for the historic challenge R.

' American Throughout the long afternoon, the smack of mallets and the strain- ing, grunting heaving of lathered horseflesh and muscled men, shoul- der to shoulder found the tide of battle turning steadily in the Amer- fcans’ favor, Led by the dashing Devereaux Milburn, veteran of many an inter- national match, the team defending the valued ‘trophy opened with a rush, and the Prince of Wales, visit- ing nobility, and a host of society folkiand plain every day.people saw the British team always hopelessly outclassed and getting further and further behind. The first of the international matches was marred by the injury to Malcolm Stevenson No. 3, on the team, who, after play: ing a stellar game throughout, was hurled over his pony's head in the final period. Stevenson sustained a slight con- cussion, but no bones were broken. There was a gasp of awe’ from the crowded stands as a rush towards the British goal hatted when the the white clad player was thrown and lay still on the turf, A cry from the sidelines was fol- lowed by the scampering across the turf of two female figures, Steven- son's wife and mother-in-law, who remained at his side as he was wrap- ped in a blanket and carried ten. derly from the field. cup by the record score of 16 to "| It only half tells the tale of Amer- tobert Strawbridge Jr., who went In at No, 3 for the Americans play ed well for the remaining two min. utes and scored a goal For the most part, this first of the great international matches was a case of four against one. That was practically the proportion by which the Americans won, and it repre sented the efforts of a brilliant hard riding, hard hitting aggregation of four star horsemen against that of a single man—Luis Lacey. Time after time it was the bronz ed British back from the Argen tne who swept his panting pony 4n the path of an American assault on the visitor's goal and with a ter. rifle crack of mallet on ball_sent, the sphere spinning out of danger.

If there was a star on the Amer- ican team, his efforts were over- shadowed by the brilliance of the team work. In effect there were four stars, and a dozen four-footed ones carrying their riders to victory. Devereaux Millburn, yeteran in- ternationalist played brilliantly un- tl half time when he showed up and permitted the walloping young Hitehcock and Malcolm Stevenson to carry the brunt of the attack. It was far from the best of the international matches which have pursued the cup back and forth across the Atlantic since 1886, and was easily the most one-sided. Great Britain’s defeat may be directly at- tributed to the fact that the team had not had sufficient opportunity to practice together as a team, Lacey's tremendous —_ smashes which’ would send the white pellet half the length of- the field and the blooded ponies in thundering where pursuits were vain as there was no Britisher on the ball.

HARRY GILL’S RECORD AT ILLINOIS STANDS OUT AMONG COACHES A few days ago the Tribune print- ©d an articles telling of the wonder- ful success that Jack Moakley has made as coach of track athletics during his 15 years as mentor of that institution. The articles was read by Bert J. Tiedemann of 704 South David street, a loyal University of IWincis alumnus, who promptly wrote the Tribune to the effect that while Moakley had made a wonderful réc- ord he believed that Harry Gill had done even better in’ his £1 years at Hiinois. ‘The following information relative to Gill's successful accomplishments was furnighed through the courtesy of Mr. Tiedemann: Harry Gill ,the veteran coach of | track and field athletics at the Uni- versity of Tilinols, has just com- pleted his twenty-first year of serv- ice at the midwest institution, and during that~span. of yéars has’ com- piled-a truly great record. ‘Winnin; 84, losing 5 and tying 1 dual m in this length of time. Gill hi amassed a. winning percentage. of -933, which far/ surpasses that of any coadéh in’ any branch of sport throughout the world. Included in the five defeats are two reverses: by Wisconsin, two by California, and one by the University of Chicago. Wisconsin and Chicago have been defeated many times,eand the Illini this year got sweet revenge on their far western rivals» by defeating them in a dual meet at Berkeley, -Cal., @ score of 72 to 58, To ac- complish this Gill took his team a distance of 2,500 miles in four days, gave two workouts on the coast and on the seventh day sent “the Bears down to defeat. * In the western. conference mi held each year and open to all versities and colleges in the try, GI has been equally success. ful. ‘Ten out of seventeen times the Illini have emerged victorioys over fifteen or more teams and have nev- er finished lower ‘than third, and that low only once. At ithe Drake and Pennsylyania relay games, Gill's outfits have time and again proved the superiority, In 1920 at Penn Gill; produced a two mile relay team that forced the picked English combination frome” Oxford and Cambridge, to set'a now world’s record, and finished ahead of all American rivals, including Harv- ard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell and others. ‘The following year at Penn, the Illinois teams scored more points than “the next seven universities added together. Since then, the Mil nl hove competed at Drake instead of Pennsylvania, as the two relay meets are now held on the same day. and all western coaches hays : agreed to support the Drake clagsic.
