There are fortv-f™ civilian clubs listed in the Polo \s sodatton. and thirty-seven milltar posts arc members of the organtza tion. Nine or ten clubs west of th Rockies, mostly on the Pacific Coasi are also affiliated. The Polo Asso elation has absolute sway in the con trol of the game In this country In the earlier championships a Prospect Park, Brooklyn, In 1905 th matches were held within a squar fornted by from 20,000 to 25,000 on lookers, who lined the ropes and too Uie greatest Interest in the game- There was an exciting moment In th first championship final when Foxha Keene of the Rockaway team wen down In a scrimmage at the Myopl gnnl and hroke his collarbone Th Rockaway team had been leading hit it had to finish with only three met and Myopia won out. The Rocka way team won the next year, and th crowd was so enthusiastic that Keen had to struggle and run away to es cape being carried off on the should ers of his admirers, Thera has not been so serious at accident since then in anv of th championship matches, and' althougl Daniel Chauncey, Jr., lost his plac on the Rockaway team tn 189 through receiving a scalp woun, from a mallet in a match at Grea Neck the game, despite its dashini plays, is not to be classed as ultra dangerous. The serious accident occur chiefly when inexperience, and too eager beginners are In th, saddle. The casualty In the match be tween the Yale and Princeton team, at Van Cortlandt Park in 1904 whicl caused the death of Henry D Bab cook, Jr„ was laid to the rashnes, of the players. It was an unfor tunate beginning for the game a the colleges, and the sport has no since been revived among the un dergraduates. Polo a Very Old Game. Polo Is a very ancient game. It 1: not English, as many people think The name “polo" 1s from the Tibetai word "pulu” (willow), the ball be lng made from the hardest part o the willow tree. The game was firs suggested to British officers in Fndt, by the Munlporees Still furthc back the qiention of ehaugan (fou! on a side), the Persian name for i game played on horseback with mal lets, occurs In writings that dat< from before the jChrislkm era. HE Boys’ High School baseball team is the winner of the At lanta Prep League champion ship for the season of 1913. The team has n-one through the present season with a clean slate and has clearly demonstrated that its victories' have not been flukes. Although the team still has one game to plas, that against Peacock on the 21st, there is little doubt that it will win, and even though the result should Up • against it, It would have no bear ing on the title. For the last four years this plucky team has had to retire in favor of Marist, but it has always been a hard struggle. This time It is the victor, and Marist must be content to trail. * • • A T the beginning of the season ** Marist looked the best of any team in the league, and started ojf in whirlwind style. It was soon no ticed, however, that the Catholics had a habit of blowing up just at the crucial point of a game and it could be easily seen that this would have to be remedied if the team hoped to win the pennant. The habit stuck, and soon became chronic, and Marist’s chances went glimmering. Then Tech High loomed up a formidable foe. The Culverites mowed them all down, including Marist, but the bubble broke when they humped up against Boys’ High. • • • DEACOCK and G. M. A., the other L nines in the league, have been outclassed this year and have been fighting it out for the cellar cham pionship. Each won a game from the other, but Peacock sprung a surprise by beating Tech High and conse quently went ahead of the Cadets. The season has been a successful one, the attendance at the games has been good, and the teams have dished up wme pretty good baseball at times All of the schools will lose men by graduation this year and the coaches will have to start all over again to develop new material for next season. Many of the stars will enter college in the fall, while many other will enter into the game of life where a good batting average means success and a strike-out hitter failure. Southern League Results ;e if to TWIRL SU1DAY By Joe Agler. CRACKERS’ FIRST BASEMAN. NEW ORLEANS, LA., May 17.—By bunching hits in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings the Crackers copped the first of their three-game series from the Pelicans, 10 to 7, here this after noon. Wallie Smith continues to hit the ball hard, and it is my opinion that Wallie will hang up a record this sea son, both in fielding and at bat, that will be a good target for all future third basemen to shoot at. He is play ing a great game at third and his double in the sixth inning, which cleared the bases, practically put the game on ice for us. There is nto much to say about to day’s game, except that it was one of those old-time slugfests. The pitch ers on both sides were hit hard. Chappelle showed more stuff than any of them. I look for Bill Smith to send King Brady and Price to the slab in to day’s doubleheader and. I really think we will win both battles. The New Orleans pitchers are showing poor form and are causing Manager Frank much worry. 1 guess Bill Smith is about in the same boat. Although we have lost quite a few games on this trip, I really think the Cracker team hit harder and played better ball in the field than any of our opponents. It is also my opinion that if Price, Brady and Musser get to twirling the ball they are capable of we will still reach the top of the league. The boys are all fighting hard and are anxious to cop the flag this season. SHAFER FORGETS HOME; RETURNS TO THE GIANTS NEW YORK, May 17.—“Tilly” Shafer Is back among the New York Giants again. After buying his ticket for Los Angeles and giving rise to the report that he had jumped the team, the star player was out in uniform this after noon He reported at the club’s headquar ters this morning, and after a conference with President Hempstead, he decided that he was not as homesick as he thought and agreed to be a “good little boy” from now- on. 'THERE are three games still ‘o * be played In the local Prep league. On Tuesday Marist and Tech High will meet and on Wednesday Boys’ High and Peacock will clash. The season will come to a close on May 27. when Peacock and Marist get together. The game Tuesday will de-* cide which team will claim second place in the league. If Tech High wins that team will be second, and if AJarlst wins, the two will be tied and an extra game will have to be played. Jack Prince’s Track To Be Fastest Evef Builder Thinks Riders Can Do 100 Miles an Hour—but Hopes They Won’t. The busiest man In Atlanta these days is Jack Prince, who Is building what he declares will be the fastest mo torcycle track in the world at Boule vard and Jackson Street. Prince says the track will be faster than the one he built at Los Angeles, which is the fastest In the country. “The boys can make 100 milee an hour on this track,” says Prince, “although I hope none of them will attempt to go that fast for any considerable distance. The main trouble with thts terrible- speed is the bursting tire—that is what gets the boys. Just think of going at that clip when hang goes the tire and away goes the poor rider.” The track is now nearly complete, al though there Is much yet to be done on the grandstands. There will be a seat ing capacity of 10,000. Pew who. have not gone to the grounds realize what a really great undertaking this Is of Prince. The grounds, which are under lease, are worth more than $100,000. The lumber alone for the track will cost over $6,000. Then comes the. grand stand. the grading and a nunared and one other items, in addition to the cost of labor. BOBBY LOWE THROUGH AS SCOUT FOR DETROIT DETROIT, May 17.—Bobby Lowe, former Tiger inflelder, and on© of th© greatest players in baseball, has giv en up scouting for the Tigers and ex- , pects to devote his time this summer , to real estate. Lowe was for several years the dean § of the Tiger scouts, but this winter he announced that the inconvenience of travel and a desire to be at home was tempting him to quit scouting. When It came to a time when a decision was necessary, he decided to remain in Detroit and devote his time to his real estate operations. C • Both Joe Sugden and Jim McGuire,' < two of the best-known Tiger gum * shoes, are on the trail now. CAPTAIN RITSON is the leaden of the English team, In regi mental polo Captain Ritson has been famous for his courage and perseverance under adverse conditions, and temperamentally he will be a bulwark of strength for the English. He is extremely clev er on the defensive. W HEN the American and Eng lish polo teams canter on to the field at Meadow Brook, L. 1., next June to play for the in ternational championship trophy the 40.000 spectators will be entertained and thrilled by the most expensive game ever arranged in the history of modem sport. On the authority of H L. Herbert, chairman of the Polo Association and the father of the »port in this country, by the time the contest is staged at Meadow Brook nearly $1,000,000 will have been spent. Both countries have been getting ready for two years. At the conclusion of the historic struggle In June, 1911, both Harry Payne Whitney, captain of the victorious American “Big Four,” and Capt. Hardress Lloyd of the British team said in interviews that they would at once start organizing, the one to defend and the other to challenge again for the coveted cup. Money has been poured out lavishly ever In ponies, equipment and grand tands alone the Polo Association will tave spent $200,000. In a hundred .nd one other ways—for instance, coutlng for fast ponies all over the wo Americas and Europe for two ears, and wages for hundreds of ;rooms and stable helpers—the mem bers of thq Meadow Brook, Rocka iav and other clubs have already xpended at least $800,000 in making eady for the British invasion. The Duke of Westminster, who nanced the British cup recovery und. is understood to have collected 300,000. Other English polo enthu- iasts must have gone down deep nto their pockets to the tune alto- ether of $200,000 for the good of the ause Both countries boast that liev have the best string of ponies, ome costing $6,000 apiece, that has ver been got together and the finest xponents of the game with whom to orm a team. This insures for leadovv Brook this year a brilliant xposition of the most exciting and iif-etacular of games. The Americans started practirlnn r earnest on A©ll 1 at Lakewood. The following players have been elected by the Polo Association for relimlnary practice under the cap- ainey of H. P. Whitney: R. L. Agas- lz Joshua Crane, H. \\ ■ Harrison, oxhall Keene, Devereux Milbum. J. : Phipps C. C Rumsey, Malcolm itevenson, Ir. E. Stoddard. Lawrence V. Waterbury, J. M. Waterbury, Jr., nd Rene La Monlagne. Mr WJiit- ev Mr Mllburn and the two Wat- rburys formed the winning four two ears ago, ... Thf* British team was selected from hese placers W S. Buckmaster, apt. Leslie St. C. Cheape, Capt. J. lardress Lloyd. Capt. R. G. Ritson, ■apt G. E BeUville. F. M. Freake. nd Lord Wodehouse. Captain Cheape, ■aptain Ritson, Captain Bellvtlle and luckmaster are the favorites for the Onglish team W. S. Buckmaster Is naster of them all. Captain Cheape .nd Captain Lloyd were on the vlslt- ng team In 1910. Corralled Finest Ponies. The United States is ready to meet he Englishmen, and as the latter say hey have thts year corralled all the inest ponies In England. -Ireland, Cgypt and India, if they lose again bey w ill not be able to say this time hat it was owhig to the lack of good nounts There is no doubt that two care ago the American had the fast- r animals. There was little to choose letween the two teams. The English- n-n excelled In the technique of rid- ng and were gentler with their lonles. their riding being in marked •ontrast to the loose seats of the tmeriean players. Team work was narvelously good' on each side, but he Meadow Brook four excelled lr intng out fo( passing the ball. The Americans won on their nerve md speed The Englishmen appeared o be slow thinkers, but were fighters o the end. The unexpected good rame the Englishmen put up rather aught the Americans ofT their guard rhe cup defenders only managed to cin the first game, after scoring the leoislve goal in the next to the last a-riod. bv 4 1-2 to 3 goals, and the eeond by 4 1-2 to 3 1-2 goals. This ime the Americans w ill be thoroughly trepared to go on the offensive al the Irst sound of the bell. Polo had hard work in securing ree- gnition in the United States. The lioneer polo organization tn this ountry is the Westchester Polo Club, > hich now plays at New port. In 8.5 the little band of New Yorkers tho carted polo here sent West for wo carloads of ponies and divided hem by lot at $20 a pony. They had iractice games at the old Dickel Rid- ng Academy, later playing near Je ms Park and finally settling on the -.ell-appointed polo grounds at Fifth ■ \ -nue and 110th Street. About 1SS3 1 <• club removed to Newport and a utseball team leased its new York grounds.

MEMPHIS, TENN., May 17.-—Chat- tanooga took the opening game of the series by a 3-to-l score, winning the game in the ninth inning, when Butler, with a made-to-order double play in front of him, dropped Shan- ley’s throw. Hits by Flick and Detcher netted two runs and the game was won. Merritt, after the lo cals had tied the score in the seventh, tried to steal home. The play took everybody by surprise. But Umpire Flfleld called the veteran out and as a consequence was roundly scored. Parsons was hit hard. Timely stops by the Infield kept the score down. More, after getting away to an un certain start, was invincible in the closli\g Innings, with the exception of the seventh, when hits by Merritt and Ward tied the score.

CY SEYMOUR WANTS JOB AS PITCHER FOR BRAVES NEW YORK. May 17.—-Cy Sey- mour, once a Giant, who has been playing ball since 1893. Is trying to come back as a pitcher. He has been playing the outfield ever since he failed as a southpaw with the Giants nearly twenty years ago. Then ne had the biggest curve ball of any ma jor league boxman and he excelled them all in lack of control. Seymour once struck out fourteen men and gave eleven bases on balls in a single game. He pitched in practice at Ebbetts Field recently, showing much of the old speed, also some wide benders and puzzling drops. Cy .s with the Braves imd Stallings may try him in J CAPTAIN LESLIE ST. GEORGE CHEAPE (to the ri^ht at the top) hardest polo hitter, and his strength in this direction makes him an admirable foil for Devereaux Milburn, the great American back. CAPTAIN NOEL EDWARDS, below, is rated one of the best offensive polo players in England. His forceful driving and sensa tional riding have won him high honors at the game. Captain Vivian Lockett is the other mem ber of the challenging four. Miss. A.&M. Captures Two From Vanderbilt Commodores Lose First Game, 8 to 2, and Second, J to 2—Baker Stars at Bat. NASHVILLE.
