AMERICANS FAVORITES
FOR FIRST MUTCH IN
INTERNATIONAL POLO
Crowd Journeying to the Meadowbrook Club Field Today Es
timated As High As 40,000 People—Day Clear and Warm.
Ponies and Players of Both Teams in Good Shape—Bell
Sounds at 4 P. M.
Meadowbrook Club, Westbury, L. I.
—Society folk, sportsmen and casual
spectators, thousands all told, crowd
ed to the Meadowbrook Club today
for the opening game of the interna
tional polo series.
Six matches have heretofore been
played for the trophy and each na
tion 'has won three of them. Before
today’s game the Americans ruled fa
vorites at odds of ten to six.
Quiet Night.
The players of both teams spent a
forenoon of rest after a quiet night.
Captain Cheape of the challengers
still suffered to some extent from
his injured nose and eye, struck last
week by a ball. On the American
side interest centered on Rene La-
Montagne, the only new man on the
team since the breaking up of the
"big four," by the withdrawal of
Harry Payne Whitney. It is La-
Montagne s first international match
and his friends predicted that his ag
gressive playing would prove a sur
prise.
The day was clear and warm. A
slight breeze in the forenoon flutter
ed the British and American flags on
the stands.
At Work Early.
At the playing field those in charge
were at work early. The great
stretch of velvet turf was moved and
watered yesterday and heavy rollers
rumbled up and down the surface
throughout the morning. It was stab
* -Y» that unless a heavy shower dead
ened the field before bell time at 4
o’clock it wo;ai be the fastest offer
ed for international polo play in this
country.
The ponies of both teams were
walked over from their regular quar
ters to the paddocks early, In order
[to avoid the heat of the midday and
rwere reported ready for the hard
.Struggle. The American ponies, ac
customed to American mid-summer
heat, weathered the hot spell better
•than the imported mounts and this,
lit was said, gave the cup defenders
I a slight advantage.

POLO CUP FOR WHICH
THEY’RE BATTLING TODAY
The cup for which the English and
American polo teams are battling to
day was donated for competition
purposes in 18S6 by the Westchester
Polo Club, of Newport, R. I. The
first international match was fought
out that year and England won in
two straight games.
The next clash was 14 years later
—in I^o0 —when the American team
journied to the Hurlingham Club in
England and lost again to the Brit
ish. Only one game was played,
England winning eight goals to 2.
In 1902 the Americans again failed
to wrest the championship out from
the English. Three games were
played. The American aggregation
won the first two goals to one, but
lost the second game 6 to 1 g.nd the
third 7 to 1.
However, in 1909 the American
"Big Four" invaded England and
finally succeeded in defeating the
English champions in two straight
games—9 to 5 and Bto 2. The Eng
lish came over in 1911 but were
turned back losing the only two
games played. 4% to 3 and to 3H.
They came last year and were beat
en again in two straight games, the
Americans winning the first 5 to 3
and the second 4y 2 to 4%.

ORDER THE FIFTH
BANK CLOSED IN CHICAGO
Chicago —State Bank Examiners be
gan today estimating the value of se
curities held by the LaSalle Street
Trust and Savings Bank and the three
small neighborhood banks closed yes
terday possibly temporarily as a re
sult of the suspension of the LaSalle
Street Bank.
A fifth neighborhood brnk, the Cal
umet State Bank, was ordered closed
today because a large portion of Its
resources were tied up in the LaSalle
Street Bank. Like the other small
banks the Calumet Bank may be re
opened soon in a solvent condition.
Closing of the hanks has had no
effect on other Chicago financial insti
tutions according to clearing house
officials. The LaSalle Street Bank
never was admitted to membership In
the Chicago Clearing House Associa
tion. Its suspension will affect only
the few small hanks. It had about
$4,000,000 in deposits. Validity of
about $1,200,000 of Its collateral is said
to have been questioned by the bank
examiner.

PASSENGERS JOKE
AFTER THE CRASH
Hamburg-American Liner Pretoria Tears Big Hole in Ameri
can Liner New York While Latter Was Motionless in
Heavy Fog 400 Miles From N. Y. —Pretoria’s Anchor
Left Hanging in Rent
On Board Steamship New York,
June 13, via Siasconsett, Mass, June
13. —While the American liner New
York, westbound, was motionless in
a heavy fog four hundred miles east
of Ambrose Lightship early today,
the Hamburg-American liner Pretoria
bound east, ran into her and ripped a
hole 12 feet high and 32 feet long
in her portable.
Thq hole is flush with the main
deck and is 15 feet above the water
line.' So great was the force of the
collision that the Pretoria's anchor
was torn from her bow and left
hanging inside the gap that had been
torn In the New York. Practically
all of the passengers on both ships
were asleep.
Full Speed Astern.
Immediately after the collision the
engines of both* ships were ordered
full speed astern and passengers
came hurrying to the decks. The
possengers of the New York were
able to reach over and touch the how
of the Pretoria as she ipulled away
from her dangerous position. There
was no panic. Captain Roberts and
Chief Officer Turner were both on
the bridge at the time of the col
lision. They reassured the frighten
ed passengers many of whom hurried
to the starboard side of the ship, an
ticipating a list to port. Members
of the crew also went among the pas
sengers and urged them to be calm.
Bulkheads Closed.
Upon the orders of Captain Roberts
the bulkheads of the New York were
closed at 12:52 o’clock this morning
because of the density of the fog-
This was about ten minutes before
the collision. During this period tho
Pretoria replied constantly to Tog
sirens blown by the New York.
Captain Roberts blew two long'
blasts repeatedly for five minutes
prior to the collision. These whistles j
indicated that the New York ha-1
stopped. Suddenly there was a crash
succeded by a sharp tearing sound as
the steel plates and woodwork of the!
New York were shattered by the Pre I
toria’s sharp how.
Were on Duty.
Fortunately the watch which occu
pled the quarters behind that part of
the ship which was crushed in was
on duty in the stokehole. Had the
collision occurred while this watch
was off duty a number of lives prob
ably would have been lost. The Pre
toria was less damaged by the col
lision than the New York. Several j
of the plates at her bow were sprung
and twisted.
After the passengers had been as
sured that they were In no danger
they began to laugh and joke over
the queer costumes In which some of
the travelers appeared on deck. After
It was determined that no serious
damage had been done to either of
the ships they proceeded on their
way.
