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. BABY PICTURES — MISS ELIZABETH BICE, 1342 May Avenue, City. 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.” Don’t Risk Money in the mails.

THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH CO. Full information gladly given at any office 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. : , .y-a J|r '■{»&' MISS BOBBIE TANNEB, Wrens, Ga.
