HE opening game of the interna tional polo matches, the first since 1914 when the cup went to England, will be played to-morrow at Hurlingham. It will be England's Rreatest sporting event of the year. Tickets for the series were gobbled up Months ago at fancy prices. English royalty will be massed around the historic field where inter- Rational tournaments since 1886 have | been fought. Foreign critics figure the American and English teams are evenly matched. is is a generous valua- | tion of the challenging four, Hngland to-morrow will start almust the same | combination that so easily lifted the | cup at Westbury in 1914. Only Capt. | Cheape will be missing. | Against this teran team the United States will place on the field a brand new t oddard, Hitch- vock, Webb and Milburn, The only veteran in this group is Milburn, he of countless battles.

The American team will line up as follows: Louis Stoddard, No. 1; ‘Tommy Hitchcock, No, 2; J.

Capt, Leslie Che wo ‘urkey during the World War, Barret, who captained the last Eng- lish team, played 3 position. This year he will be at No, 2 and Wode house will go in at his old position. All four of the English players arc cavalry officers. Although individu- ally brilliant, the defending four at firat lacked cohesion in combination work, but in practice they have de- veloped well in polo tactics. More than half the strength of a polo team is in the ponies. For two years the American Polo Association at the expense of thousands of dol- lars has been assembling mounts from the ranches of the Southwest ind even from South American pampas, American agents in South Ame encountered representatives from England who were engaged on a similar mission War demands made heavy inroads on English polo ponies, and the true condition of the new English horses n't been known in this country Barly in the spring horses hasn't been known in this country, Early in the spring we sent over a big batch of ponies that gave promise of standing up well under the strain of an inter- national contest. They have been on the other side long enough to be ac- elimated.

Olsen couldn't hit one safe. Mamaux pitched wonderful ball from the ninth to the seventeenth inning, holding th Pirates to four hits and ume and again setting them down in critical situations, but it was only post- poning the inevitable. ‘The ‘Robins couldn't hit Adams and Yellownorse in the subsequent innings, the latter buri- ing the last three in bang up style. Tt looked bad for Mamaux in the eleventh when Myers muffed Grime's easy fly to start the inning and Schmidt sacrificed, Here, Cutshaw, a former ‘obin, was sent in to hit for Glazner but the best he could do was a foul to Johnston, and Gigbee ended the inning ‘oy rolling an easy one to tne box.

CHICAGO, June 17.—The Cubs and Giants played a game yesterday that reminded old-timers heré of the days when the great combination led by McGraw came to Chicago to battle the invincible Cubs under Frank Chance. It required thirteen inn- ings before the game came to de- cision, and the locals won out by a score of 5 to 4. Phil Douglas started for the Giants and the game soon resolved itself imto a pitchers’ due] between him and Alex. (n the seventh inning, with the Giants in the lead, Douglas made a slight protest on’ Umpire} Klem's judgment on balls and strikes. Without warning Klem or dered Douglas out of the game and the trouble started for the visitors, Rube Benton took his place and lasted until the Cubs began to find him in the thirteenth, when his place was filled by Art Nehf. a COLLEGE NOTES CLEVELAND, June 17. — Five coaches, instead of two, as in the past, will be in charge of football activities at Western Reserve University when the season opens in September, | twas announced following the annual com- mencement luncheon of alumni.
