MONDAY, JUNE 8.
Polo Comes Into Its Own Saturday When
the American and English Teams Clash
in the First International Match
New York. —Pony polo conies into
its own again tomorrow when the
American and English teams meet at
Meadow-brook, Long Island, in the first
game of the series to decide the cham
pionship for the ensuing year.
And today, from many sides, comes
the double barrelled question, where
did polo originate and what are its
rules?
The game originated in Persia
somewhere back in 900 A. D. It was
called Kan-jai-bazee. The game
was played differently than it is today,
its rules were far different, and the
style of play entirely foreign to that
of the present day, yet the principle
of the game remains unchanged
tahrough the centuries.
Many years ago some British array
officers, who had been in Persia and
played the game there, introduced it
into England. It’s popularity was in
stantaneous. England went wild over
the game; that is, fashionable and
wealthy England, for polo is a game
that only the rich can play because
it means the xpenditure of thousands
of dollars each year for polo ponies.
In 1876, James Gordon Bennett, in
troduced the game into the United
States. He had played the game in
England, and had taught his American
friends the principles of play. A game
finally was staged in the old Jerome
Park, New York, and so enthusiastic
were.the Americans who participated
that they formed the Westchester Polo
Club, the first of its kind- in the coun
try.
Admission to the playing field was
by invitation only until late in 1877.
and then the general public was ad
mitted for a fee. The public here, as
in England, enthused over the thrill
ing game, and other clubs were start
ed. There are hundreds of them in
America today, and the players are le
gion.
Polo may be played with three on a
side, or four on a side . Not only the
international game, but practically all
the other games are played with four
men on a side.

The Campaign to Save
Daylight Up in Paris
Paris—An account of the campaign
in England to save daylight, and the
interest -which other countries are tak
ing in this subject, were presented in
reports to the International Congress
of Chambers of Commerce here today.
William Willett, of London, reported
a long list of organizations in England
which have passed resolutions in favor
of the bill for daylight saving. “That
so many as 154 hours of daylight are,
to all intents and purposes, wasted
every year is a defect in our civiliza
tion,’’ he asserted. “Standard time
is so fixed that for nearly half the
year the sun shines for several, hours
each day we are asleep and it
is rapidly nearing the horizon when
we reach home after our work is over.
"By a simple expedient this may be
overcome. If we will reduce the
length of one Sunday in the spring by
sixty minutes, of which no one would
be conscious, we. shall have 60 min
utes more daylight after 6 o'clock on
each succeeding day until autumn.”

A goal counts one point. To be
counted a goal, the ball must pass be
tween the goal posts, or above the top
of the goal posts, and between the two
posts.
The goal posts are similar to those
used in football games, with the ex
ception that they have no cross bar.
The posts are 24 feet apart and 10 feet
high, and light enough to break if col
lided with.
The ball is of wood, with no other
covering than white paint, and does
not exceed five ounces in weight, and
is only :i 1-8 inches in diameter.
The field is 900 feet long and 450 feet
wide. Wooden railings about two feet
in heigght are run along the sides, and
any ball batted over the railings is nut
of bounds. The tailings are only light
ly built, and give way when a horse
crashes against them. In ordinary
games the height of the ponies is lim
ited to 14-2. but the height rule has
been waived in the matchest hat will
start tomorrow.
A match game consists of eight pe
riods, technically known as ehukkers.
Thes ■ ehukkers are of 7% minutes
duration. A three-minute rest is per
mitted between each chukker except
between the fourth and fifth chukker
when seven minutes is allowed.
The teams change goals after a
score has been made.
A safety shall count as minus one
quarter, and a foul counts as minus
one-half in the scoring. For instance,
if a team scores two goals and hen
commits two fouls and a safety, It Is
penalized 1 1-4 goals leaving It a net
score at only 3-4 of a goal.
Careless or unnecessarily dangerous
riding on the part ot' the players, un
necessary bumping, roughness, failure
to give a. played the right of way,
crossing in his path when he has the
right of way, the cruel use of spurs
on horse, striking the pony of an ad
versary and about two dozen other
stunts are barred by the polo rules.
Infraction of some of these rules
gives the referee the power to fine the
player, order him out of the game and
also to penalize his team.
