These two teams arè very evenly matched end if reckoned on this year's handicaps there is only a difference of one goal between them, The Cowboys' team Handicap reaches a total of 12 goals whfle the Troopers add up to 11, The difference of one goal does not really make much difference in a match of such calibre. Better understanding and team work should make up it quite easily as has often proved to be the case, The Cup fell to the Troopers last year—after a not too sparkling game in which a couple of one-goal men were included in the sides in order to have eight players—by an overwhelming margin of 12 goals to five, direction, Where the Cowboys appear to be a trifle weak is in the defence, as although Kops has made vast improvement since he first started te play polo a couple of seasons ago, he is still too erratic in his clearances and has also not sufficient length in his shots to play back, Troopers Strong All-round The Troopers are not particularly strong in any section of the team bat on the whole they appear to be a far better—balanced unit with their strength distributed evenly in all departments. The forward positions will be left in the hands of two hard workers and fairly good shooters, C. H, Sprague and Steve Clark, who will AN the No, 1 and No, 2 berths. In order to feed them they have placed a hard bitter in George Lacks in the important position of No, 3. Lacks is undoubtedly a useful player. being fairly useful in any position but has ore costly failing, and that is to forget all about the book of rules in the heat of enthusiasm, His fouls have in the past proved somewhat expensive, If he would pay more heed to this it is most likely that we hall see the Troopers emerging victorious again, Lacks should find strong support from N, F, Allman, the "Old Guard" veteran who, I believe, is playing about his 18th or 19th year of polo, With a reliable men as "Judge" at back, Latks will not have to worry about the defence and may therefor spend the greater part of his in assisting the forwards, So, all in all I think we should see a keen tussle with the eventual sinners only coming through with a bare margin, and if I were asked to nominate them, I would take the Troopers although they are, on Fandicap, one goal weaker, Little to Choose Between Sides In view of the line-ups this year being considerably stronger, the lowest handicapped man being twoals, there is every promise of-a much better game, There is actually ife to choose between the two Mexican Wins World Featherweight Title Los Angeles, July 2. teams, Where one side appears to be stronger in one department of the game, it is counterbalanced by the prowess of the opposing side in another department, The Cowboys, who will be making every effort to make amends for their defeat last year, appear to be stronger in the attack, with the inclusion of such an Richie Lemis, a Mexican boxer resident here, has won the world feather weight championship, as recognise ed by the National Boxing Association of America, by knocking out Pete Scalzo in the fifth round.
Scalzo had held the title for 13 months.—Reufer. old reliable as Franklin in his favourite position of number two, The spearhead of the attack will be "Link" Moore in the position of number one, Culbertson. the only five goal player, will fill the pivot position for the Cowboys and one can safely say that a better No, 3 cannot be found, He has been playing at the top of his form this summer; hitting nice long balls with a good Welter Fight Postponed New York, July 2.
