GERALD BALDING'S

POLO CHANCES

May Be Selected For British Team This Summer

New York, April 16.-Polo Col- lowers are wondering whether Gerald Balding, the British nine- goal player, may be pressed into service on the British

team

for the international matches this summer, following the news that he has reserved ten ponies to be taken abroad.

Mr. Balding, who was

pot named on the English team, has the ponies now

in Long Island and in California The addition of Mr. Balding, who, with the Nawab of Bhopal. is the only. nine-goal player in the worid, would add considerable strength to the English team and make it a great threat to the United States.

AMID tumultuous scenes of enthusiasm,

Reynoldstown won the Grand National this afternoon for the second year in succession, and equalled a record that has stood for 66. years. It was as thrilling a National as has ever been seen. At the first fence Golden Miller jumped on to a fallen horse and came down. Then the favourite, Avenger, who started at 100 to 30, fell at the first fence in the country when they were going round the second time. He broke his neck.

And as a climax to all this drama a tubed horse. Davy Jones,
