...scheduled, whether the team works better as a unit when composed of four men who have played through a whole year together, or when aided by the comparatively strange but acknowledgedly brilliant Captain Roark. Their decision will in measure hang upon the opinion and advice of H. H. the Maharajah of Rutlam, himself a keen, able player, who travels with the officers as companion, enthusiast, patron. Most prominently mentioned among those who may be selected by the U. S. Polo Association to represent the U. S. next September are Thomas Hitchcock Jr., Devereux Milburn, Louis E. Stoddard, J.

S. adventurer and a rather attractive French wandering man moving in a maze of blind beggars, green lizards...
...Geneva the League opened with a fanfare and a crush which it has never equaled. For the first time there was standing room only and not enough of that in the Press Box. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was showered with bouquets. The Maharajah of Patralia (India) wore a blue turban, pink earrings, gold bracelets, frock coat. Senator Raoul Dandurand‡ of Canada was elected President of the present League Assembly (the 6th) on the first ballot and took up his duties; to the satisfaction of the Commonwealth because he is Canadian, to the delight of France because he is of French...
