...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.

He asks no favors, but this genuine Chinese hero would hardly be complimented to know that his likeness had been mistaken for one of China...
...appear, is uncomfortably aware that they order these things better in England. This popular U. S. attitude toward fox-hunting is reflected in the jolly apologias emitted from time to time by U. S. foxy grandpas. Latest view-halloo was sounded by Harry Twyford Peters, Master of the Meadow Brook Hounds. Written primarily of and for the manure set, Just Hunting is not to be mentioned in the same breath with Siegfried Sassoon's masterly Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, but even to readers who have never seen the world from the vantage of horseback it presents...
