...cards, though, are the U. S. Amateur Golf Championship at Garden City next week, the polo matches with Argentina at Meadow Brook next fortnight, and the 400-mile international auto race at Roosevelt Field next month. Last week, at Meadow Brook, the Open Polo Championship series ended. Last week also, International Tennis, a leisurely international carnival in whose circuit the other stops are Melbourne and Nice, Auteuil and Wimbledon, paused at the flat and singularly unarboreal New York suburb of Forest Hills, to play its last major engagement of the year-the Singles Championship...
...entered. Last week, Polo moved to Long Island for the U. S. Open Championship. This year the Open has an extra significance: the winner will represent the U. S. against Argentina in the year's second major international series, the Cup of the Americas, starting at Meadow Brook Sept. 19. In last week's first-round matches, all played the same afternoon on three fields within easy motoring distance of each other in Long Island's Nassau County, the Hurricanes beat Old Westbury, 11-to-6; Texas nosed out Roslyn, 10-to-9; and Greentree, defending champions...
Devereux Milburn played a brilliant game at back but the team missed Harry Payne Whitney at No. 3. Under the hot sun at Meadow Brook, sitting in the stands under dainty parasols or fanning themselves with huge boaters, a crowd of 10,000 saw England's dashing polo team of four Army officers win the second straight game against the U. S. for the Westchester Cup. That was June 16, 1914. England has not won a polo game against the U. S. since...
...learning to play like U. S. poloists, England's poloists have at least been practical. Two of their ablest Internationalists, Eric Tyrrell-Martin and Gerald Balding, have spent large portions of the last three years at Meadow Brook, Palm Beach and Del Monte. Poloist Balding learned his lesson so well that last year his handicap was raised to nine, only one less than famed Tommy Hitchcock, the world's only 10-goal player. Recalled to Hurlingham, Balding became with Tyrrell-Martin the nucleus of the British team. Last week, with Captain Humphrey Guinness behind Tyrrell-Martin at back...
...Reason: ill health. Since 1920, Dr. & Mrs. Greist have been "outside" only once, eleven years ago. Now, after a visit with relatives in California, a visit to Monticello, Ind. where Dr. Greist left a private hospital to go to Alaska, a visit with their only child David at Stony Brook (L. I.) School for Boys, the Greists are going to Europe, perhaps to Africa. That is where Dr. Greist wanted to go when he was graduated from Indiana University's School of Medicine 42 years ago. His mind was changed for him when he was ordained a Presbyterian minister...
