U. S. Polo Players
Clinch Possession of
the Challenge Trophy
WESTBEURY, X. Y.—America’s
intrepid riders galloped to their
second successive victory Tuesday
over Great Britain’s horsemen and
clinched possession of the inter
national challenge cup, emblem of
polo supremacy between these rival
nations.
Another picturesque crowd of
30,000 with the l'rince of Wales as
the center of attraction, saw the
flying Yankees dash to victory by a
margin of 14 to '5, but though it
was decisive, the score does not re
veal the gallant stubborness witl
which the British, led by the re
doubtable Louis Lacey, \nade their
last fight for the cup.
The challengers, shifting their
line up in a final desperate rally,
made a brilliant fight against heavy
odds.
The Americans, handicapped by
the loss of their crack Number
Th ree, Malcom Stevenson, who was
Injured in the first game, were
slow to strike their stride, but
once their attack gathered head
way, the final outcome never was
In doubt. *

perately toward the close, they
fought in vain against the superior
team play, the harder and more
accurate hitting anfl versatility of
their opponents. Tommy Hitchcock,
a whirling dervish on attack, and
Devereaux Milburn. a stonewall on
the defense, were the outstanding
figures in the American’s irrestible
sweep to victory.
The triumph assured the United
States possession of the historic
challenge trophy for at least an
other three years and marked the
fifth time this country has won it
in the eight international series
since 1886.
The Trince of Wales, was a
prominent figure in the crowd that
surrounded the players as they
gathered alongside of the field for
the presentation of the trophy to
the winners by Major General Lee
Bullard. He was warm in his praise
of the Americans.
The British, as a whole, hit with
more severity and displayed bettel
teamwork than they did Saturday,
but their wildness cost them manj
excellent chances to score.

SPIRITED DEBATE AS
CITY COUNCIL OPENS
POLICEMAN'S TRIAL
Mayor Says Attorney Was
Employed By Him and Will
Be Paid By Him—Wit
nesses Say Holmes Did All
Possible to Keep Down
Trouble
Several witnesses examined
before city council Tuesday nig t
in the case of W, H. Holmes, park ;
policeman suspended several weeks ■
ago by Mayor Julian M. Smith on
a charge of dereliction of duty,
swore that Mr. Holmes had done
everything any reasonable man
could be expected to do to keep
down trouble at the time of the
light at a ball game at an Allen
Park diamond on July 29. The
witnesses said Sam Wessinger had
a knife and that when the fight
was in progress Mr. Holmes was
among the crowd that had run out
on the field and that he endeavor
ed to separate Peters and Wessin
ger, standing between them and
holding them apart. They said
Peters jerked loose and ran behind
Mr. Holmes over to Wessinger and
struck him, whereupon the real
light started which ended in two
men, George Peters and Joe Me-
Michael, being badly cut and Sam
Wessinger being seriously injured.
Council adjourned the meeting,
on motion of Mr. Chambers, to re
sume the hearing at the call of the
mayor.
MAYOR SAYS HE IS
TO PAY ATTORNEY
When Majv>r Smith announced to
cbuncil that lie had engaged th<s
services of Attorney Sam Garling
ton to handle the prosecution in
the interest of the mayor, Coun
cilmen O'Connor and Carswell
ed on what authority Mr. Garllng
ton was retained, the mayor an
swering, “I hired him, as mayor.”
Mr. Carswell asked who was going
to pay the attorney for his services
and the mayor said, "That is a.
matter that will be determined
later,” Mr. O'Connor asked if the
mayor expected the city to pay Mr.
Garlington and if the mayor was
authorized to hire him. The mayor
said all this would be thrashed out
later. Mr. Sheehan said, "Why
hire Mr. Garlington when we have
a city attorney?” The mayor an
swered that he had engaged the
special attorney in his official
capacity, as mayor. Mr. Sheehan
then asked the direct question:
“Are you going to pay him?” The
mayor's answer was simply, "Yes.”
Mr. Garlington stated before
council that he desired the mayor’s
report in entirety to go into the
evidence, including the compilation
of evidence from the trial in re
corder.’s court, which was attached
to the mayor’s report. C. Vernon
Elliott, repressing the interests
of Mr. Holmes, arose to object to
this, saying that a previous mo
tion adopted by council to hear
only oral testimony would make U
impossible to use the recorder’s
court testimony as evidence. Air.
Elliott also said that every man
under the Constitution, has a right
to face the witnesses sweaTlng
against him in any action. Mr.
Garlington said this was not a cri
minal trial, Mr. Elliott replying
that any trial wherein a man's
honor was attacked was a criminal
trial, hecause not only was Mr.
Holmes’ honor assailed but he
must suffer a penalty if the
mayor's suspension be upheld, in
that he would be finedr suspended
or discharged.
PLEA FOR HOLMES
BY HIS ATTORNEY
Mr. Elliott asking that members
of council be placed on volrdire,
(questioned as to any bias or
opinion) /lelivered a ringing plea
to the mayor and to members of
council for fair play, showing the
indignity thus thrust upon Mr.
Holmes, "a faithful employee of
the city of Augusta for 34 years,
and not a blemish against him."
Mr. Elliott pleaded for every right
granted to any man facing such a
serious charge to be granted to his
client. Mr. Garlington said the Im
plication that the trial was a crim
inal one was ridiculous. Mr. Elliott
read from the city code showing
that while council is not entirely a
criminal trial body. It does have
the authority to fine, suspend and
discharge.
The mayor ruled that the mayor's
report and attached evidence intro
duced in recorder's court be entered
for consideration by council, at the
same time over-ruling the motion
for void ire.
Councilman Gary Inquired if the
mayor were competent to preside
in a case where he is the prosecu
tor snd Is personally engaging the
services of an attorney, "Is it
equitable," said Mr. Gary, "that you

‘'The mayor rules that he Is com

saying to the mayor: "Mr. Mayor,

ed. I want to say that 1 don’t think
you are prosecuting Mr. Holmes, 1
think you are trying your best to
persecute him. It Is downright
persecution, not prosecution! You
are biased against Mr. Holmes, you
are personally Interested In the
outcome of the case, because you
have hired a lawyer to light your
case, and you have no right. to pre
side when you are biased!"
Mr. O’Connor offered a motion to
appeal from the ruling of the
mayor's competence. Mr. Cham
bers said he thought the mayor
was qualified to act ns presiding
