Last week a U. S. Coast Guard destroyer steamed out beyond the Virginia Capes to police another exciting treasure hunt. Goal was the Merida, sunk in 210 ft. of water in 1911 with bullion and jewels in her vaults. In the Salvor, backed by Vincent Astor & friends, Captain Harry L. Bowdoin set out to catch the prize. Aboard he carried stout metal cylinders with movable legs and arms attached, which were to enable his divers to work comfortably at great depths. The weighty apparatus (1,400 Ib. at the surface) is also equipped with searchlights. Also aboard, Captain Bowdoin carried...
...Chicago had a taste of high-grade polo when an Argentine team stopped off to play. This year Chicago will have more than a taste. In honor of the World's Fair, the Open Championship will probably be played there with players from England and possibly a 25-goal team of Indians led by the Maharaja of Jaipur. This winter the Indoor Polo Association of America tried the experiment of playing its tournament sectionally instead of at the Squadron A Armory in Manhattan.

...Fifteen minutes after the kickoff in the second game in New York last week, sandy-haired little McLean took a pass from his 17-year-old halfback, Ollie Bohlman, sent a rightfoot hook shot into the corner of the net. The Americans evened the score with a fluky goal before the half was out but McLean got one more chance to break the tie. When there were only seven minutes left to play, he sent in a corner kick, low and wide, to his centre, Werner ("Scotty") Nilsen. Nilsen received the pass on his broad Norwegian skull, gave...
