Polo Competition -

NEVV YORK. June tit—The Brit-
ish General Staff has,accepted the in-
vitation for an international tourna~
ment between the polo champions of
the British Army and those of the
l‘nited States Army. The first com-
petition will take place between the
representative teams on the interns-i
lion field at Meadow Brook probably l.
the first week of September this year.
Thus will be inaugurated another in-
ternational competition between ~the
two countries which promises to rival
those in yachting and golf and share
interest with the international ,cup
polo contests for civilians. it may
prove to be one of the most popular
contests in all United States athletics.

The alert to bring about this com-
petition has been making for some
time. The Army player-sin this coun.
try have increased tremendously since
the and er the war. Probably there
would be more players than t‘ers. are
if there were more army to produce
player. The value of the game has in
every way shown itself of such. ser-
via! to the Government forces that all
posts at which it is possible to pro-
duce polo now encourage it and give
it all the opportunity within reason

Both Lord Derby and Field Marsh-
ni Hnig are enthusiastic over the new
plan and have agreed to a tournament“
which is to be decided by the bolt two
out of three matches. Of course the
British Army has many players to call
npon because the game is pls’yed
throughout the Empire. Some of the
officers play in English club! and some
have taken part against the United
States in cup games.

Shows Way To 222 Aspi-g

Hagen Disappointment

 

TROON. Scotland. June 11 (U. P.)
—One of the Old Guard of British
golfers emerged from the past and
showed the way to 222 aspirants for
the British open title today.

James Braid, whose golfing tri-
umphs date back more than a. score
of years. led the big field. including
12 Americans. that sought to qualify
for the coveted championship. The
veteran‘s card was 72. one stroke
better than that of F. Robson. another
Britisher. and Jean Gasslat, of France.

Gene Sarazen. American open

champion. and “falter Hagen, who
won the British open title last year.
are regarded as the strongest of the
American contestants. and the latter
has been made a. joint favorite with
George Duncan at 5 to 1. Sarzen‘s
chances are estimated as 7 to 1. while
Jim Barnes and Abe Mitchel are
quoted at 8 to 1 by those wii rig to
make a small book on the result.
‘ Play today was in the first of two‘
qualifying rounds necessary to weed
out the big field before the competi-
tion proper which starts Thursday.
The eighty players of the 212 that
started today who turn in the lowest
cards will qualify. Medal play was
the order throughout.

All the toppnoteh golfers who start-
ed this morning were expected to sur-

ls a. peculiar course and the “dark
horse" has less chance than elsewhere
to spring an upset. ‘

. Ifilf of the field went out over the
“NEW” course today. and half over
the “Municipal". the order to be, re-
versed tomorrow.

At the last moment before the tour-
nament. the British
golf committee ruled against the use
of perforated irons. favored by many
of the American enteries.

Today's was only the first of two
qualifying rounds that must be played
before the championship proper starts
*on Thursday. but it served to demon-
strate that the greatly feared Amer-
ican invasion. the one subject of con-
versation when play begun today. may
be met and turned back.

Gene Sarazen. diminutive American
open title-holder. and MacDonald
Smith, of California. turned in cards
of 75. and the former is expected to
be amonng the lowest scorers when
the~ tourney proper ends. Other
American ‘ showed well. Tommy
Armour. Leo Diegel, E. W. Clarke. of

thelphia. all breaking 80. but
Walter Hagen. who holds the British
title. was a tremendous disappoint-
ment.

Sartorlally. Hagen was the attrac-
tion of the day. a symphony in brown
golf toggery. As a. golfer. he was ex-
traordinarily of! his game. On one
hole. he took an 8. finishing with an
82. score that put his chances of
auditing in some jeopardy. ,

Low scores in the big field included:
James Braid. 72; F. Robson 73: Jean
Gemini. 75; MacDonald Smith. 75:1
Jos Kirkwood. 76; Barry Vardon. 76:
J. H. Taylor. 7?; Ted Ray. 77; Leo
