Show INTERNATIONAL POLO MATCH IS DOUBTFUL NEW YORK, July 17. Possibility of an international polo match between picked teams of American and English players next year is entirely in the hands of the English polo authorities, according accord-ing to a statement made by the Polo association today. It was announced no challenge for such a match had been ! sent to England, and that none would be j forwarded until such time as the English authorities indicated that a challenge would be welcomed. The recent victory of the Freebooters' team over the Thornby four in the final game for the British championship cup by a score of 6 goals to 3, at Hurling-ham, Hurling-ham, led to unofficial opinion that England En-gland was ready to defend the international interna-tional trophy won by England from j America at Meadow Brook in 1914. In the match mentioned above only I one member of the victorious English , team of five years ago appeared. Major F. W. Barrett played at No. 3 on the I Thornby four and English representatives representa-tives of the match indicate that the standard of play was considerably below the pre-war form of English polo stars. |
