An Unusual Event.
Something unusual In polo happened
Saturday night when two home defeats
we're sustained, the victims being the
Grays and Kangaroos.
Capt. Cotter and his four hustling as
| sistants were chockful Of polo and put up
| an article OF the game which made the
Grays appear like quintette of amateurs.
Tommy gathered bis braves around him
just before coming onto the surface and
acquainted them with the fact he was
out for victory. The result of the little
confab was evident when Referee o O'Malley
footed his whistle. The Bostons had
three goals before the Grays had fully
realized what was happening and after
that they were not within hailing dist.
ance, the final score being 7 to 8.
At Lynn the Kangaroos enjoyed an
other trip In the toboggan at the bands
OF the New Bediords, the score being
to 1.
