S Enticing Polo Is Offere {0TEANS TOPLAY BECINNING FRIDAY Invaders and Local Army Fours in Series That Runs to July 26. BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR. \HE most paradoxical polo town I in America at last is about to come into its own as a center of the fastest ball game in sportdom. Washington, where the pastime of maharajahs draws more of a following from the city directory rather than from the social regis- ter, will have a top-notch tourna- ment on Potomac Park field be- | ginning Friday and continuing | through July 26. Provided ene public responds as backers of the competition expect, the tournament of 1936 will be mere- ly the inaugural of an annual series intended to develop polo here on a level with the horse show, the hunt races and the other equestrian meets, for which the. National Capital sup- | plies a population axis. The unusual fact about the history of the galloping game in this city is that it reads like a reverse record of the sport in every other town where it has gained a foothold. Usually, mallet-mauling is introduced by a group of wealthy men, backed by their friends, who join an exclusive club for the purpose, and the matches | later opened to the public on cer- tain occasions—perhaps. This was the sequence in England, on Long Island, in Chicago, the West Coast and other places where the rip-snort- ing, fire-eating excitement of mount- ed swat has caught the public fancy so much that the crowds practically demanded to be admitted.

Teams Are High Class. ‘AN EXPERIMENT with interna- tional play in the United States- Mexico matches proved, however, that the diplomats, the cave-dweller so- cialites and official society in general would join in supporting high-goal play. Backing from those quarters should be forthcoming again this Summer, as the Southeastern tourna- ment will offer approximately the same caliber of performers in its out- standing stars, although the aggregate handicap of any one team cannot be; more than 12 goals, nor the individual rating above 6 (which is international stuff in anybody’s league). | Originally the Iriquois Polo Club of Louisville, Ky., and the Fort Ben- ning Polo Club of Georgia entered the matches, but later found they | could not put in an appearance. It| is to be hoped that in the future not only these organizations but Lhexri counterparts in Philadelphia, Rumson and even Long Island can be per- suaded to come here to compete with the Maryland, Virginia and District squads. Schedule Is Announced. CAPT. C. HANCOCK REED of Fort Myer, the tournament man- ager, announces the following sched- ule for the 10 teams: ‘Top bracket—Friday, 4 p.m., Poto- mac Park field, 3d Cavalry Yellow team (11 goals) vs. Maryland Polo Club (6 goals).

WASHINGTON d Here : Fans Fear Delaney <“Can’t Take It”’ BY BURTON HAWKINS, N THE comparatively short span of 13 months Washington's fistic colony will have rallied to its third bout of national impor- tance—a definite clue that this noggin-knocking sector, well estab- lished as a proving ground for fisti- ana's hotbeds of action, is deserving of more frequent standout fights sandwiched between the weekly punchfests that mean little or noth- ing to lukewarm fight fans. It is a foregone conclusion that local larrup lovers will support the Barney Ross-Phil Furr battle July 22. Phil's right hand, even against the most polished mittman in the game today, may cause the clever Chicago clouter enough trouble to make that fight the most torrid bit of ring action ever seen here. The local boxing game may reach its peak that evening, but regardless of whether box-office records are broken, Promoter Joe Turner, Match- maker Goldie Ahearn, the fighters and the Washington Post’s fund for underprivileged children of the Dis- trict figure to pocket a neat profit. It seems logical that Messrs. Turner and Ahearn should stage more fights of this caliber. Miami Wake Washes D. C. ESPITE the Tony Canzoneri- Frankie Klick minuet last June, a fiasco that threatened to floor the beak-busting game here, local box- ing has survived and flourished. Tur- ner and Ahearn have built up local attractions in Cowboy Howard Scott, Marty Gallagher and, of course, Furr and Petey Sarron. Popular local lads are an essential element to a merry clicking of the turnstiles. Sarron was forced to fight dozens of “so-what?” mitten manipulators here, trimming them with monotonous regularity, before Miami promoters conceived of him being able to cope with Freddy Miller, at that time king of the featherweight division. Only because the Miami brawl proved highly successful did Washington view Sarron against a champion, whom he trounced.

Gallagher, extremely popular, wisely is shunning ali but “name” fighters. Since Gallagher recently was men- tioned as a possible opponent for Max Baer—if you can call that a measure of success—there is definite proof that his popularity is not strictly local. He may be given a decent fight by some smart promoter shortly. He certainly deserves at least one crack at some of the heavyweight elite. Scott has defeated both Norment Quarles and Bat Battalino twice, Lew Massey, Joe Rivers, Bucky Taylor, Davey Fine and Stumpy Jacobs. He came here as lightweight champion of Texas to win the District title. By his win over Quarles, rated a comer by many experts, he took over the South Atlantic diadem. His one ambition is to bounce his paws off the jaw of World Lightweight Champion Tony Canzonert. It would be a stirring session and a perfect follow-up for the Ross-Furr | collision. EYSTON FLASHES 10 MORE MARKS Averages 142.61 for 5,000 Miles as Leading Feat in Stirring Series. | By the Assoctated Press. | ONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, | Utah, July 14.—More endur- | ance land speed records fell today before Capt. George Eyston and his Speed of the Winds as the English racer neared the end of a 48-hour grind over the salt flats.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, July 14—If, as has been said, imitation is the sincerest flattery, Prince- ton had better begin the preparation of suitable acknowledg- ment to the University of Minnesot: which is seriously considering the in- stitution of an invitation track and field meet in the stadium at Minne- apolis conducted along the lines of the affair at old Nassau. Thus Minnesota hopes to give to the Middle West what Princeton gave to the East—a series of events with the fleld of competitors limited to champions or near-champions in these features. Different Events Planned. THERE seems to be no intention of cutting in on the Princeton pro- gram, which includes only a few selected events out of many avallable track and field features. The Gopher idea is to take events which Prince- ton do2s not use. Perhaps this may not work out so well practically if the Minnesota invitation affair ma- terializes. It may be that at least some of the events on the Nassau card will be found desirable, if only because every one of them was selected because of its popularity. But if this happens Princeton undoubtedly would be most amiable about it—unless Minnesota had the misfortune to find that the only possible date for the meet would lie in the same week in which the Princeton show is held. No Conflict Intended. IN SUCH case, such is the tact and consideration of sister universities one for the other, Minnesota probably would be inclined to abandon the project rather than cause a conflict so grevious. Indeed this matter is so serious that it might be Well were Frank Mc- Cormick, director of athletics at the Minneapolis institution, to consider the question of dates before he does | anything else in connection with the proposed meet.

Patterson, captain of the | Navy track team last season, who | the taking of both game and fish. qualified for the United States Olympic team by running second in the 400- meter hurdle race to Glenn Hardin, American record holder, has gone to New York and will sail with the team tomorrow. Patterson is the first member of the Navy team to be a member of the Olympic track squad. His home is Oklahoma City, Okla. Patterson was jus: a tenth of a second slower than Hardin, who cut two-tenths of & second from the Olympic record, with 51.4. Patterson who was slowed up by an injury the latter part of the regular season, now is in fine trim and his friends are confident that he will do even better in the final test. MULHALLS WANT TILT.
