LACEY MAY'

Invading Polo Teani
Will Possibly Be
Headed by. Argen-
tine Star

NEW YORK. June 25.—In a letter
that has been received from London
information is found that suggests
Lacey as the possible captain of the
British polo team. which will short-
ly begin to think of sending its pon-
ies to the L'nited States. and quite
shortly riftr‘r that tengage passage
for itself.

\Vhen Lnecy was invited by the
British polo authorities to visit ihrm
.md participmu in the trials for thr
i'n-‘led State; invasion it was hinted
that the invitntlon might cc. for en-
ougli to roan“: him to become caps
lain oi the team. If he were select-
(-0 and agreed to serve. there was an
idle in England that the. pain of
st-rdry little heart burnings in many
sources might be alleviated. It has
not been all buns and butter to put
together the invading'tcam. in there
are differences of opinion in England
as to the players who should lie in-
cluded in the final selection.

\Vodehouse is considered the best
player in British polo circles by the
rank and file. Thosse who do not;
play polo. but who follow it either:
because they are interested in it as‘
.1. sport or must know about it bo-
cnuse it is one of the more import-
ant English games. are firm believ-
ers in \Vodehouse. because his is the
style' that appeals to the non-pur-
ticipnnt as Well as to a portion. at
least. of the active players.

Lacey is playing better polo than
he did when he was here. The ling-
lisli observer snys: "I am tremen-
dously struck With his style. His
hitting power and swing n're top—
notch. He is undoubtedly the finest
type that. we produce. Another
player who. I think. is bonkv-ri for
certain is \Vndebouse. London thinks
he is the best of the city. Perhaps
“'imborne and Cholnionrleley differ.
The latter is quite a good player. as
you know. but it does not strikiI
me that he is quite top bite. nndi
just fit to take. part. in a match so
important as the international chill-f
lenge to bring the polo cup back to.
this side. “’imhornc. I am told. is:
finding fifteen thousand pounds to-
ward the team's expenses. That is
sporting on his part. but he and
Wodehouse. I fear. Will never agree
on players."

The English observer goes on to“
say that Wimborne has n touch of
the Churchill blood and is somewhat
fond of having his own way. lt has
been known in the liniterl States
that a disagreement had arisen in
England as to the personnel of the
challengers. but it is expected that
when a decision is finally made the
English will be represented by a
team that will be high handicap all
the way through.

The writer goes on to any: “The
Duke of Westminster handed over
all his ponies. and they are clinker-s.
and a fat check to boot to finance
one of the team's expenses to the
United States. Nor did he insist that
he be included personally in 'ihe
garden party.

“My selection for the team ‘would
be Klrkwood. Phipps-Hornsby.
Wodehouse and Lacey. playing 1. 2.
3 and 4. Wise. Atkinson and Hum-
dall were a. bit off when'last I saw
them. Of the three I should pick
\Viso. Cholinondeley nndt Barret
might be good second string. 1 think
Barrett. however. is not up to the
form that he had. and I am not sure
that he was ever top dde. although
he has been given a very prominent
place in pole here. In the tryo is
here each individual is out for hi -
self, as all players are thinking of
the observation of the selection
committee which watches the mat-
ches. not sol much with any idea of
team play as to judge of the rela-
tive personal merits of the men co‘m-
petlng. the team play to come after-
ward when the managers of the
challengers play their matches in the'
United States in practice prior to
the actual games of the challenge
competition." .

l-‘reigau was playing baseball with
the Steele High School of Dayton.
0, his home town. when Branch
lickcy. boss of the St. Louis Na-
linnnls. became interested in him.
Rickey liked the boy personally and
his prospects of becoming a bit;
lriiguo boll player. Rickey-'s slma
lllfli0r,“'88 Ohio “‘esleyan so if was
minim! that he should talk Barney
into entering that institution when
the lad's high rrhool days ended.

Barney finished his freshman year
and thrn. at Rickey‘s suggestion.
went to St. Louis. Branch wanted
the lad to imbibe some big league
bunch-m but didn‘t want to lmpsir
bis amateur standing so "signed"
him as a list boy. _l:‘reigsu had every
intention of resuming his studies the
next fall. Then Old Men Amateur
stepped in. The college officials
found that Barney had played one
or two Saturdays and Sundays with
semi-pro teams. And promptly bar-
red him from further participation
in collegi- athletics.

“'lust Rickey Did. .

Freigsu told Rickey. The lstter's
first move “as to discharge l-‘reigsu
as s but boy and sign him as a play-
er. Freigau threw his college books
into the park rubbish can snd
bought himself a new glove. ’

He worked like a trojsn in prac-
tice sessions that season and stuck
close to Rickey on the bench dur-
ing games.

Last season he got several chances
to break into the game as a utility
player and looked so good that he
was designated a regular when he
urrived at the training camp last
spring. ~

He started the season at short but
was moved over to third after he had
given Branch one sample of his
work at that bag.

Now. at twenty-one. and with only
one full season as a big league:- and
less than two as I. professional be-
hind him. he is rated as one of the
best young lnflelders in the big time.
He'll be 22 in August and hopes to
celebrate his birthday by inviting to
the game the folks who erossed.him
