Kngland won by to A goats. Morris uval, re'-ocrnlxcd as the strength of the Knpllsh team, was un seated in the third period, when his horse swerved. He struck heavily and was carried off the field.

It was found that Ross was suffering- from a fractured collar hone and he va car ried off Devereaux resumed play V. U llreese. of San Mateo, took up the contest for Ross. The injury of Ross and Duval put two of tiie best players of the tourna ment out of future contests for the sea son. The contest today was fast from the start and several narrow escapes from injury were noted. The pick of the luO.ooo stock of polo ponies at Coro nado was used In providing mounts for the players. These high-spirited ani mala, together with the soft condition of the grounds, made playing difficult as well as hazardous. The score re mained even almost until the last period. For Knffland, Viscount Cower made two goals: three were made by Lord Reginald Herbert and two by Dever eativ. The score was reduced when Lord Tweedmouth was penalized one fourth for interference. For Canada. F. K. Snowden made three goals and A. Hone made one goal. As a result of the injury of Duval and Ross todav, the polo schedule will be rearranges Secretary Not Cho.-en.

TACOMA MAY LOSE CLUB N'ent Calvcr Dopes It Out That Franchise Will Be Transferred to Walla Walla Inlesi "City of Destiny" loosens Up. Despite the entreaties of President W attelet. "Doc" I-ake. the youthful Portland mystlfler who made such a fa vorable impression during hi two months- service with the Victoria Bees last season, refused to affix his pet hieroKlyphlc to a 1912 contract. The Canadian mogul pleaded with the Ore gon tooth-puller like the proverbial Dutch uncle, and. before he would ad mit defeat boosted Lake's 1911 stipend several notches. Then he saw that J.ake was firm in his stand to brush aside bright chances to hear big league multitudes' sing nix praises. So the owner of tlie Bumblers continued his Journey to California much disap pointed. "Yes, I'm through with baseball as far as devoting my entire time to the game is concerned, corroborated Lake yesterday when asked if Wattelet's spiel was correct. "Dentistry mav not be as exhilarat ing as the National sport, but it's more staple and brings better financial re turns," continued Lake. "I don't mean to give up baseball altogether, though. I probably will sign with one of the lAanhtngton State League clubs and pitch Saturday and Sunday ball. This, combined with my business income, will be greater than any minor league l club could offer me." Lake Ha No "iirouch." Rumors that Lake was not satisfied with his Victoria berth and that it was owing to personal differences with Wattelet that he refused to sign were emphatically refuted by Lake. He said that he was entirely satisried with his treatment by the Victoria club and that Wattelet offered him a lucrative rise for 1912. Lake's debut in the Northwestern League came about two months before the curtain was rung down. During that period he participated in 11 -games, winning three and losing eight. Vic toria was hopelessly in the cellar, and Lake's work, for a "busher," was con sidered good by critics all over the cir cuit. "If Lake would staj in the game he would be grabbed by some big league club In two year at least." said Pres ident Wattelet. "He proved, during his short trial last year, to be one of the best youngsters on the Pacltic Coast He has every chance of making a name for himself if he decides to devote his time to the game. However, he prefers to stick to his dental practice and I shall not interfere if he wants to play 'bush' ball again." According to Newt Colver. the Spo kane baseball sharp, it is not definitely settled that Tacoma will be in the Northwestern League this year. Col ver figures that there is a chance of the Tacoma club's new president switching the franchise to Walla Walla if he can not dispose of some stock to the busi ness men of the City of Destiny. Says Colver: "As Tacoma has been consistently, year in and year out. a losing proposi tion financially, whether the club had a w'innlng line-up or not, it quite nat urally doesn't appeal to the hardheaded business men there from the standpoint of a stock canvass. George Shreeder figured the ball club as an advertise ment for bis Olympic Club and always expected to lose anywhere from $2009 to $10,000 on the gate receipts, expect ing to make a lot of the money back by the Increased business he got from hav lnb his place the baseball headquarters of the town. Oeorge had a bar, a bar ber ahop. restaurant, billiard parlors, etc., and he used to let his players sign tabs. Result, a lot of them Just about spent back their salary in his place. "The noise that the new club presi dent is making about his Inability to sell stock would also serve to set at rest the doubts in the minds of many that Shreeder had really relinquished his claim on the Tacoma franchise." , . . Harry Suter seems determined to stand pat on his declaration to quit baseball unless the San Francisco man agement recognizes his request for more mazuma. In an Interview witli a San Francisco baseball writer Harrv declared that he has a proposition that would bring him In more money than he could make playing baseball. He said that he would play with the Seals, however. If Manager Long meets his financial demands. Besides being one of the most popular twlrlers in the league. Suter has been one of the main stays of the Seals' hurling department ever since he Joined the team. Long, too. says he will stand bv his first of fer, so It looks as if the big Texan will come to Portland and enter business. ... It looks as If Dick Breen. the in fielder who began his professional ca reer as second-sacker for Portland, will De retained as utility man by Manager Bill Dahlen, of Brooklyn. Breen was with Vancouver In 1910. Breen made a decidedly favorable impression on the Dodgers' leader in the preliminary practice gamea. ... Bunny" Pearce. rated by many com petent critics as one of the best catch ers In Coast League history, has signed a contract with the Indianapolis Club, oi tne American Association, according to the Indianapolis Star. Pearce waa with Oakland in 1911 and purchased his release. His reason for wanting to play with the Hoosier club is to be near his home. ... Two hundred and eighteen pounds of humanity is included in one of Seat tle's 1912 pitching acquisitions. His name is Bill Nichols, a six-foot marvel from Texaa. He Is credited with not having lost a game in his work during the past two year. Improvements in baseball parks seem to be the fashion this year. The latest magnate to order the hammer and aaw chorus to work is Joe Cohn. The owner of the Indians plans quite an extensive change in his grandstand. The v ictoria park also has been im proved since the close of the 1911 sea son, while Portland's grandstand is be ing transformed into a magnificent place. ... Here is what Manager Long has to say about the Seals' prospects on the eve of their training: Without doubt it is the best squad of ballplayer that I have ever taken into training. I have some 10-odd ex perienced men from whom to make up a nine, and I think It Is going to I Now for Some Quick Work in Underwear The Ideal Mid-Season Underwear V Is Found in "IDEAL" LINEN MESH Now Offered at the Following SPECIAL PRICES S6.50 Union Suits special now at ... . $3.50 Shirts and Drawers WE SPECIALISE IN be a hard task to trim that number down to the 20 called for by the base ball law. Every position Is well forti fied and the weak spots of last year's team will surely be plugged up. With 12 pitchers to choose from we should get a capable pitching staff and I know our outfield will be a better one in every way than the one of lull. We have some hitters out there and that is what a team needs most. Wea ver and Vltt will be missed, but we have some high-class men to try for their vacant daces. Altogether tne nrosnects look good for a winnin team, but 1 do not want to go on record as putting in a claim for the pennant already. 1 think we will have to play for it."
