BROOKLYN WON AT POLO.
ono sided Game with New York at
CIerm0nt Rink.

The local players put up a great game
last night as members oftsthe Brooklyn
Polo Club in the game with the New
York Polo team. The latter were afraid
to show up with sthe regular team be-
cause of the absence of Hornfeck, their
star rush, who played with Montclair in
the game with Brown University, con-
sequently a number of substitutes were
sent over and played as the second team
of the New Yorks. The Brooklyns were
in fine fettle and had a Regular picnic.
They juggled the ball and just toyed
with their rivals, not half trying to put
the baD in the cage. At no time was
the Brooklyn goal attacked, and the ball
was constantly in the New York's terri
tory. Charles Fracker of this city played
his first game on the Ice, filling his old
position at drive. He put up a. fine game
and barely let an opportunity slip. He
made all three of the goals The first
half was ten minutes and the second
fifteen. New York was BANKED. Teams
