GAIN TWENTY GOALS OUT OF THE TWENTY
TWO MADE IN THE THREE PERIODS
Twenty blue flags nu,terng in the breeze against
two lonely white wayfarers told tale of the crushing
defeat administered to the buffalo Country Club yes
terday by the Rockaway Club OF Cedarhurst, Long
Island 1t was day OF bitter sadness for the Buffalo
men, for. after their playing Of last week. 1t was ex
pectod that they would put up a better front against
the team OF which Foxhil p Keene Is the bright and
shining light. But it was not to be. The Long
Island men had everything their way. and
treated the players from the Western part OF the
State as II they lot Of schoolboys. 1t was as
II a club OF professional ball-players had played
against a team Of youngsters and did with them "a
they pleased. The disparity IN the score tells the
story. Twenty goals against and quarter was
what the crowd OF 1900 more people at the Pros
pect Park Parade Grounds In the short space OF
an hour Of actual pay Nothing like the team work
or general excellence in polo playing has ever been
seen in Brooklyn before They trained horsemen,
and what they do not know about the fine points of
the game is hardly worth knowing The game was
interesting in showing what polo can be. but it was
too sided to be exciting While the Buffalos were
badly beaten they made some excellent plays. and
against some teams would have put up what could
truthfully be termed good game. When the time
for pay came at O'clock these players faced each
other: Rockaway Club S. Stephens, j. f. Cow
