If any person In tt rested In pn-o thinks that the Entslish nion who have challenged for the Interna tional cup. the neries of matc.ies for which will be played at Meadowhrook on May 31, June J and 7, are not mast men In the field, dal'.lnK horsemen and skillful with the mulct, they have only to ;tnes the chal lengers play to change his opinion. No poloipts that have ever come from abroad have so Impressed enthusiasts as have the fdiKllnhmtn. Although the Erpllsh team has been se verely handicapped by lack of practice and the players have been on the ocean for many weeks, during the period they have knocked the ball about at Iakewood they have shown great form. It must be te mrnibeied that It- takes weeks of practice for pnlolsts to become accustomed to one another's plays. This helps In what Is known as team work. Individually the Ki'Klh-h players have shown up well. In respect to the use of the mallet the EtiKllxhmen, particularly In the backhand stroke, are more cleer than the Ameri cans. The backhand stroke Is a great favorite among the challengers. They are such adepts that they use It on every pos sible occasion. Many times during the game lien they have had a chance to wheel their ponies and race the ball and hit it a driving forward stroke they have preferred to hit it backhanded. Since the challengers arrived they have profited by looking at the Americans play. The defenders are fast riders and quick to grasp every opportunity. The English men were at first slow, hut now they adopted the American tactics and showed up to better advantage. Captain Cheape, the No. 1 man of the Kr.gllfh team, stood on the side lines dur ing a recent game. Commenting on the practice of his team mates, he said: "We are more or less bothered by the lack of olfslde and onslde rule. In India we never play except under those conditions. Many of the other members of the team are simi larly handicapped. The sideboards tend to confuse us. In small fields In India we do nut use them. 'I think the team that will represent England this year Is much stronger than the one that lost at Hurllngham In 1909. This estimation of the relative merits ' of the two teams Is generally accepted. With out detracting the slightest from the merits of the American team, I believe that their opponents at Hurllngham were very weak us. pololsts. .After we have a little more ciactlce here I am certain that our skill will be equal to the standard which has been set for us." Offside and onside play never has been a feature of polo playing in America. It In distinctly English. Offside means that the Itader of a team or the man who has the ball must not be psssed by one of kis mates. In other words, members of the team must remain behind the man who has the ball. If a member of the team passes the man with the ball, under this rule. It Constitutes a foul. The Americans abolished the rule because It prevented sharp, fast 1 laying.

Jeffries has advised Wolgast to steer clear of Mc Farland. Jeff told the lightweight cham pion after he had beaten Hogan the other night that he would be foolish to make a match with Packy under any conditions. Wolgast, It will be remembered, agreed to box McFarland before Jack O'Brien's club In Philadelphia on Washlpgton's birthday and fixed the weight at 135 pounds, weighing at 7 p. m. Recausa of Wolgast's poor showing with K. O. Brown, however. O Brien called this match off. When Wolgast went to Los Angeles to fight Memslc he met Jeffries, who Is one of his most ardent supporters, and the big fellow said: "Don't box McFarlsnd at all. He is too clever and will outpoint you sure." Jeffs advice struck home, It seems, for Wolgast now refuses to let McFarland weigh 133 at I o'clock, declaring that rlng slnde weight must govern all contesta for the lightweight title. Wolgast ssys he cares nothing for precedent. The fact that Lavlgne lost the title to Erne at 136. weigh ing at 3 o'clock, cuts no figure with Wol gsst, who says he Is not called upon to give or take two pounds In a match with McFarland or any other challenger.
