POLO FOR A PRIZE.
The next feature of the afternoon was a
match game Of polo for the championship
Of the Northwest prize silver cup. There
were only two entries, the Ryan Rink Polo
club and the Carnival Skating club. The
former appeared i'm their neat dark blue uni
forms and the latter in the uniform of their
skating club. The teams were composed as
follows:
Carnival Skating Club-L. f. Barrett. cap
tain and first rusher; A. W. Trenholm second
rusher; i. S. Cogswell, point; A. Eckersley,
point cover; Samuel Painter and w. Morong.
goalkeepers.
Ryan Rink Club-Ed Murphy, captain and
first rushsr; r. O'Dell. second rusher; Frank
Marshall, point; Herman Merriam. point
cover; w. O'Dell and George Merriam, goal
keepers.
The goals were placed and the game
called at $50 o'clock. The boys did some
lively playing. both sides making excellent
runs, and fought hard for twenty minutes.
at the end of which time the carnival club
won the first goal. which was made by a
dextrUus blow from Trenholm. Only four
minutes were consumed in running the next
goal. which was won by the Ryans. The
third goal was again made by the carnivaIs
in thirteen minutes, and the fourth in five
minutes by the Ryans. They were now
two goals each and the match was the best
three In five, so that the next goal settled
the game. The boys went at the game i'm
earnest and did some lively playing for
three minutes, at the end of which time
Capt Barrett got the ball q the far end of
the ice and by dextrous maneuvering took
it past all the other side and skillfulIy
knocked 1t past the goalkeepers safely into
the net amid the cheers of all who wit
messed the play. Ithad been a hard-fought
game. After each goal the players change
goals and all the five goals were won at the
east end of the ice. or by the side playing
with the run behind them. The Ryans i'm
mediately challenged their victOrs TO re-
turn game to be played at the Ryan rink
Thursday evening. but arrangements for il
were not completed. DIS. Lyon and Raw
son acted as judges and A. w. Eckhart as
referee.
There was some difference of opinion
shown yesterday after the polo match over
| he silver cup for which they played.
A mmie Eaton. superintendent of the ice
sports maintained that the cup became the
property OF the winners and did not have
to be defended as did the championship.
while the Ryan boys claimed that it was a
championship cup and must DO defended
against chaAenge.
