JfBW TOIUC, June 7. A certain Brim
fletermtnatton Is perhaps the nvwt no
ticeable characteristic of the nr't. i army
' officers who hops to wrest the Interna
tional polo cup from the Meadow llrook
team this year. These four soldiers, who
were received by King George on the
eve of their departure from the other side,
eem to realise that this Is their last
chance, for some years at least, to re
capture the coveted trophy. If the
Englishmen lose again It wilt be a lonit
time before, another rich and patriotic
patron of the game like the duke of
"Westminster will be found to finance an
invading team and supply It with the
Jlck of the polo ponies of the world. The
-eyes of the British empire being on their
work, the four British captains are not
.regarding their visit to America In tho
light of a picnic.
The original team which won the cup
Were all soldiers and hussars. In the
Resent case there are one Dragoon, one
(Dragoon Guard and two Lancers. For
the first time In the history of theso
Anglo-American matches, it to Interesting
to note, the British 'team wilt not contain
an Irishman. Three of the- players nro
Englishmen. Captain 'Leslie Cheapo, rep
resents Scotland. The officers of the
British team are: Captain Italic Cheapo'
of the King's Dragoon" Guards, Captain
Koel Edwards- of the Ninth- Lancers.
Captain It O. nttson of the Innlsklltlng
UragooYia and' Captain Vivian Lockett! ot
the Seventeenth" Lancers, -Individually
the leahf It composed of some of the fin
est players In the British umpire. The
fur officers bring to the game an ox
ertrnc of polo oh many grounds nnd
under difficult conditions which must
make them mora adaptable to and less
likely tty be affected by unaccustomed
surroundings. They are also superior
horsemen, and this adds greatly to the
value of the fine stable of ponies which
has been collected for them.
Order of' Pla
It 1s expected that the Englishmen will
play In this order: Captain f'heape, No.
It Captain Edwards, No, 2; Oiptaln Hit
son No. 3, and Captain Locaett, back.
Captain Lockett, who was put on the
team at the last moment to take the
place of W. S. Buckmoster, has already
shown his work on the field at. the Pip
ing Bock Country club, Locust Valley,
I. I., where the Englishmen are putting
on the finishing touches, that ho Is
strong enough for the position of back,
Captain Rltson Is to be No. 3, the pivotal
position, and. will captain the team.
Captain Cheaps Is a danhjng ami dan
gerous No. 1. Captain Cheape and Ed
wards have played together In the first
two positions before against the Ameri
can "Big Four."
Captain Cheape Is a great player at
No. 1. Get him on a- first-class pony, 1
with his eye well set, and you will see
T memorable display of forceful polo.
- He hu done most of his best work at No.
If and Is a roost attractive player to
look at. He gives added value to tho
team because of the fact that he has
sij&yed with Captain Edwards against the
American team before.
Captain Noel Edwards won a big repu
tation in the matches Of ML lie was
perhfc&c the best member of the English
team two years ago and was certainly
in great scoring form at that time. A
powerful hitter, ha Is also estremely
difficult to rldo off the ball. He can,
too, lead a forlorn hope with immense
dash and determination.
Flared In India.
Captain It G. Rltson, who will prob
ably captain the team from the No. 3
position, like the other, three .members
of the challenging tram, has played a
ereat deal in India, Two' years ago he
returned home to -.London from India
practically unknown personally to Eng
lish polo people. But the reputation he
bad trained in India hod preceded him,
and lio showed something, If not all, of
Ms brilliancy in London polo. Lost sea

CATCHERS DENY BLAME
FOR ALL STOLEN BASES
'. CHICAGO, JuneH-rCatchers on the
.American league teams often get to-
jfethw when the -club is on tho .road and
Ian about stolen bases, and there Is a
-feeling among the receivers that very
Sften the pitcher should be charged with
the pilfered sacks. Every base ball fan
Is of the opinion that the catch, is to
Ifclatne for the stolen bases. But the catch-
"ira have a kick coming on that score,
they say they are not to blame In the
majority of cases. The pitcher is equally
as much to blame. Th trouble seems to
lie that there are many twlrlers who have
not a, good motion to first base and can
sot hold .men pn the bags. This does not
-keep the runners nailed to tbe sock, and
,tbe result is that tbe runner gets' a good
.tftart. and no matter how good the throw
of tin catcher. may be he could not get
his saaa. It happens very often during

NEW YORK, June 7.-George F. Stall
Ings of the Boston Braves has so for
proven the most successful major league
manager of tho season. The race Is quite
young and tho "Big Chief" may tako a
big spill before October, but tho fact
remains that In tho first two months of
the National leaguo pennant fight ho has
shown moto real managerial ability than
any contemporary In either of tho big
Inogucs.
That Is putting It very strongly. There
are some good loaders taken into com
parlron. Thero Is Connie Maok, John J.
McGraw, Fred Clarko und Frank Clianco
the quartet which for years has been
rccngnlied as perhaps tho greatest of all
time. Of lesser reputation and renown
might bo named Joe Birmingham, who
has fitted out ti pennant possibility of
what waa a flivver a yeur ago-the Cleve
land Naps; Clark Griffith, the original
"hard luck guy" of all the managers:
"Rod" Dooln, whoso Quakers -have-put
the oar of the lonl In all National
leaguo opposition, and "hail Bill" Dahlon.
who seems on tho point if mining Brook
lyn from the dust -of the second division
cellar for tho first time in almost fifteen
years. SUilllngs may never earn tho fame
of nny of the "Big Four." Ho may nover
shine with tho lesser lights". But, on what
has gone this season, ho has nhown more
class than any named bornuao ho has
made a fighting outfit nnd a feared rival
out of what hud come to be considered a
hopeless tallender without tho least out
look for Immediate Improvement
How HtnlllnK MnniiKfd.
A man Is known as much by the work
ho has done as tho company he keeps.
Or, better, ho Is Judged by the manner
In which his work Is done under tho
conveniences at his command. A skilled
workman Is not expected to work witn
out tools, ho Is not even expected to do
competent work with dull Instruments.
It may not' bo the work of an artist to
keep his Instruments In repair, but It
stands to reason that one who can should
command better wage and far more
rcsDect than ono who cannot. The real
artisan would naturally bo tho man who
could fashion as well as maintain tho ef
ficiency of his tools whon there could
ho no access to the market.
This In n bose ball way, Is Just what
Georgo Stalllngs had to do when he fell
heir to tho sorriest legacy of base ball
history. Stalllngs has a lot of friends.
Without exception they breathed a
prayer for him when his name was first
associated with the Boston Braves. Ho
had little or nothing on which to begin.
His absolute playing strength was repre
sented by one . man Second Baseman
Sweeney. Stalllngs appreciated tho folly
of expecting outside help. Ho had ex
perienced on many occastons the lack of
sontlment In organised base ball. In
stead of trying to lend a helping hand,
his rivals without exception endeavored
to wean from Stalllngs the only ball
player In his camp,
Dismal Prospect nt Start.
The outlook at the start of the season
was a most dreary one for the "Blar
Chief." Bweeney and Devlin were prac
tically the only experienced men on the
club outside a tow questionable pitchers.
Fortunately these wero so placed at sec
ond and third respectively that they had
young Maranvllto between them. Maran-
vine was naturally a phenom. He had
been one of the sensations of the season.
"Hap" Meyers ,at first, Is a very fast
fellow. He Is a good hitter, but his arm
s very bad. He lacked experience.' But
Sweeney helped him along at first and

to round out an Infield of more thnri pass.

Not Yet Champions,
Stalllngs has- no pennant team tav a
long way. But he will have one by
next year i If he continues his policy of
wise selection, which has marked, his
uostun reign. Stalllngs, who has de
veloped a great number of first-rate
catchers, has a most nromlslnc receiver
In Whaling. He has several mlrhtv mm
petent pltchora, among them, Perdue,
Tyler and James. A couple more of the
same type would gtvo. him a pitching
staff the equal of most anything In Ms
company. Of course, Stalllngs will have
tq replace Devlin and Titus before long,
as both are veterans of many years, in
Smith he has an able' understudy for the
great third Backer. Stalllngs has de
clared that by the time Devlin fall this
youngster should be as good as Arthur
was in the heyday of his fame. That
would be good enough for a,ny manager.
Stalllngs, In a great many of his prin
ciples, resembles McGraw. He believes
that battery strength and speed are two
of the main requisites and ho Is bend

ROBINSON, CRACK RUNNER,.
. SPENDS SUMMER ABROAD
PHILADELPHIA, June 7.-Arthur S.
Robinson, the phenomenal sprinter' of
Merceraburg ncademy track and field
team, will In company with Coach James
Curran sail for Scotland on June 14.
While abroad Curran will race Robinson
In the fSngllsh championships at Man-,
Chester pn July 4 and r, and he will take
In the German championships later In the
month. Should there be any champion
ship events In France or Ireland during
August Robinson will also participate In
them, but. he wilt not travel far or use
up much sprinting energy.
Curran felt that If Robinson were al
lowed to remain In America this summer
he would be swamped with I .itattons to
run in games nlmost every week, and
that pressure would be brought to bear
to have him moko record trials which
would sap the youngster's strength, henoe
the trip abroad.
BAKER SAYS THE FADEAWAY
OF FALKENBERG IS GREAT
PHILADBLPIUA, June T. "Fred Falk
enberg has t a better fadeaway than
Christy Mathewson." Such Is the dec
laration mode by Frank Baker of the
Athletics, who knows Whereof he speaks,
for he had some experience wtth Matty
In the world's series of 1911. "FalKen
berg throws his fast ball and tthe fade
away with the same motion," . says the
Athletics third 'sacker. "Tho batter does
not know what , ball 'It will beuntll he
has his swing arid 'misses. Falkenbergs
fadeaway comes up much ' faster than
Matty's and for that 4reason It Is harder
to hit- That is the reason he Is going
along pitching suoh good' ball- When that
fadeaway of his Is gpjng good, no batter
In the business Is going! to hit' It" Then
It makes things all the harder, when he
hands you that' fast one.. It' look's as if
he 'Is going to have a great season."

Poisoned Blood Dangers
Averted by Great Re
We An Bail; Subjacitd is Man; Perils in Braises,
Contusions, Insect Bites, Poison hy
and Toxic Minerals
The Old Enemy In the Blood la Driven Back to Oblivlon by S. S. S.
An astonishing record of serious Mood
poisoning is dally brought to our atten
tion. And most If not all of these start
11ns calamities could be averted were the
blood primed, toned and purified in ad
vance by that wonderful remedy known
everywhere as S. S. 8. Few people real,
lie how quickly the system becomes in-'
fscted with the acids and ferments from
undigested food, constipation and Inac.
tlve kidneys that causa what l known
as autotoxemla or
Stlf Poisoning.
The symptoms aro fever, thirst, ex.
cltablllty. dry skin followed by rash, and
many indications wrongly diagnosed as
ptomaine poisoning. This condition is
almost universal In all climates and la
quickly vercomn by the action of ,S. 8. 8.
Many people who act hastily from violent
temper are simply suffering from the
effects of poisoned blood produced hy
faulty elimination. But by far the great,
est peril is the dally danger from bruises,
contusions, the scratch of a rusty tall.
Insect bites, poisoning and t'.ia houso fly
that deposits the terms of typhoid, ma
Isrla diphtheria and other malignant

to resist the r.ttack from without there
need be no alarm If slight symptoms

activity; the natural Impulse of tho body
to cast out all Irritants Is intensified by
the influence of S. 8. 8. And should
harmful germs Infect a bruise or con
tusion, instead of forming an ugly sore
or ulcer the activities of the blood keep
It In subjection and quickly repair tbe
damage.
Mineral Poisoning.
Many cases of lead poisoning are re
ported, also cases where mineral drugs
or poisons, taken by mistake or other
wise, have settled In some vital spot to
create chronlo conditions of sickness and
disability. 8. S. 8. Is a wonderful anti
dote. It contains one Ingredient the
active purpose of which is to so stimu
late the cellular tissues as to select their
own nutrition and thus replace with
healthy pabulum the broken down cells
that are the cause of disease.
A Great Medicine.
The medicinal properties of 8. S. S.
are relatively Just as essential to well
balanced health as ar the nutritive
proprtlM of tho meats, grains, fats and
sugars of 1 our dally food. 'And if y
will bear .this fact in mind and get your
blood under ,tbe dominating influence of
S. S. 8you will not only drive out those'
Impurities that cause rheumatism, ca
tarrtu ecxerau, pimples, bolls and thin,
anemlo blood but you will feel anew tho
thrill of health that can coma only from
