NEW YORK, MONDAY, MILBURN PLAYS AT BACK AND LA MONTAGNE WILL STAY IN AMERICAN POLO.LINE UP Couldn’t Shift the Waterburys to Old Places Without Dis- rupting Team Work. ENGLISH PLAY THE SAME Hazard Talks Cheerfully and Says England Hasn’t Got the Cup Yet. There will be no change in the mem- bership of the American polo team, which, beaten by the Englishmen on Saturd: will face them again to- morrow for what may be the deciding game of the series. There will, how- ever, be a change in the line-up by which Lawrence Waterbury will move {rom "back to No. 8 and Milburn will @ the position of back, which he} sUpted when “The Big Four” suc- pbgeatully defended the polo champion- ship of the world last year and tn 1911, The team will line up to-morrow with Rene La Montagne at No. 1, J. M. Waterbury No. 2, Larry Water- bury No. 8 and "Dev" Milburn back. ‘The English line-up will remain the eame as in Saturday's game. “Our new line-up, in the opinion of members of the Polo Association and of’ the experts, is the strongest which | America can put in the field,” said| William A. Hazards secretary of the Pole Ai tion, in making the an- mouncement this afternoon: from his pffice, No. 29 Broadwa: can Be put up to the forwards we be- eve that the team will make a cred- {table showing. The cup is'nt gone yet. Our fellows play best when they're hardest pressed, and it'll be do or die to-morrow.” ‘There was talk of replacing Rene La Montagne, who did not play his game on Saturday, by Malcolm Ste- venpon, and it was Mr. Milburn's a vice which decided against this chang Op Saturday night Mr. La Montagne. Dreart-broken by his showing in the first match, visited the committee in charge of the Amorican team and told Harry Payne Whitney, August mont and the others that he was prepared to withdraw if they could ar- range @ line-up which would @trengthen the team. ‘Tee committee was in session al- most all day yesterday, Maj. John C. Groom of Philadelphia and Dudley P. Rogers taking part in the discussions and a shift which would put the three members of “The Big Four” back In thelr old positions with Malcolm Stevenson playing at No. 3 was con- sidered, “Monte” Waterbury would have moved forward to No. 1, his brother would have advanced to No. 2 and Milburn would have played back. It was Mr. Milburn, however, who gugsested that La Montagne should be retained on the team since, in the absence of Harry Payne Whitney, he felt that the grouping of himself with the Waterburys, “Larry” playing in Whitney's old position, would be the best arrangement. La Montagne is rated a good forward, and since the post to be filled was to be No, 1 and not No, 8, it was decided not to re- place him, Otherwise Stevenson @ Would have had his ardent desire to play as a member of America’s team, If determination to do well can ac- complish anything, La Montagne's work phould be a feature of to-mor- ro game. “Monte” Waterbury saw Mr. Haz- ard just before the new line-up was announced and it is known that It meets with the approval of the play- ere ae well as the experts. In fact, there was little choice left to the committee, for Stevenson was the only player mentioned as a possible BOTH LINERS OFF STEAMSHIP LANES WHEN CRASH CAME Pretoria 21 Miles i Stk Nov New| York 7 Miles South of Course. ONLY ONE SIDE HEARD.| Capt. Roberts Makes Official | Report—Awaiting Capt. Dugge’s by Wireless. An official Investigation will be necessary to determine the blame for the collision last Saturday morning between the American liner New York and the Hamburg-American liner Pretoria at a point in mid-ocean where they should have been about forty miles apart. Navigators study- ing the charts to-day declare that the Pretoria was twenty-one miles north of the line of eastbound liners, while the New York was about seven miles south of the lane preacribed for the course of liners westbound. On May 80 the steamship lines en- gaged in the North Atlantic traffic agreed to change the route of vessels east and westbound because of the Presence of icebergs in the northerly passage. All commanders were directed to take the southerly course, Capt. W. J. Roberts of the New York called at the office of the Am- erican line to-day with his figures and data concerning the collision, Hoe said that the ships came together at 3.27 o'clock on Saturday morning in latitude 40 degrees and 31 minutes north and longitude 64 degrees and 50 minutes west. The charts show that at longitude 64 degrees and 60 minutes west a west bound liner should be at about 40 degrees 38 minutes north latitude. By this reckoning Capt. Roberta ap- pears to have been about 7 minutes of latitude, or seven nautical miles south of his true course, But, at longitude 64.50 the Pretoria, acording to the calculations made on Capt. Roberts's statement, should have been at 40 degrees and 10 min- utes north latitude. As the collision occurred, by the reckoning of Capt. Roberts, at 40 degrees 31 minutes north latitude, the Pretoria, presum- ably, was about 21 minutes or, ap- proximately, 21 nautical miles north of her true course, ‘The New York had been in a fog for about three hours at the moment the Pretoria was sighted. A devia- tion of seven miles from a fixed course in @ fog at night with a ves- sel moving at three or four knots an hour and subject to tide drifts and wind movements is not’ considered a material error in shipping circles, But whether the same can be said of a deviation of twenty-one miles ie a (Continued on Second Page.) substitute for La Montagne. Neither Hal ©, Phipps nor C. C. Rumsey was mentioned, as the playing of each, while sterling at times, Is considered too erratic. Much hope of the new combination is based on the fact that Milburn, the greatest back of them all, will be in his old position where his tremendous drives and daredevil riding will best serve his team, GIANTS RAISE PENNANT, THEN LOSE 10 E TO PIRATES 2,000 tee tine Greats” Aid in Raising 1913 Flag Before Team Got Started. | | | NEW YORK.
