GEORGE ]. GOULD'S YOUNG SONS PLAY
CLEvERLY AT LAKEWOOD

Lakewood. n. j. May 3 CspeciaD.-To-day's
special trial for of silver cups offered by Mrs
/ George j. Gould to try out the quality of the
Camden. S. c.. players against low goal scratch
| team, which for the purpose were dubbed as rep
resenting the Westchester Country Club. was 10
| speak truly. so slow at the opening and so full
! of errors the part of the visiting team that
1t is unnecessary to into the details of play ex-
| cept to touch upon the grotesque features.
| Mr.. Whistler, who has spent some time on the
plains cutting OUT cattle whired his malle over
head and all around him in much the same style
as he would swing lariat. and while he tried his
best and had times wonderfully effective full
arm stroke. he popped in between one of his col
leagues and an opponent often unnecessarily. and
once rode off half length the field when
his forward futtering after a ball going wide
Of the mark. At the end of the second period so
wild his play that the game might have
ended right there. but the players laughed the
| matter out Of mind. and then Whistler and his
friends played better. Two goals actually made and
4 allowed less three-quarters for a bad cross by
Whistler in front Of Converse and safety tip from
the mallet. show at a glance what they were
able to accomplish.
Mr. Kennedy put the crowd In good humor when
he suddenly parted company with his pony and
landed with his legs astride in front Of the nag
while the latter stood aStounded.
Mr. Saimond kept too close to his goal, II he
was afraid of losing it, but he did manage to tip
the ball through at the windup after the rest OF
the players had rested upon it between the goal
posts.
AS a matter of fact, Messrs Converse and Bar
stow played the only strictly opposition play
the field, goOdly portion of the time there
three white and three blue riders cantering
around together. Blair made awful bIunder
when in the middle OF the fourth period he actually
took the ball from Converse's forward shot and
instead of riding off his opponent struck IL away
wide of the mark for goal Brokaw scored we'll in
the first and last periods and Woodman deserves
credit for his rather slow but conscientious work.
in that he is suffering from lumbagO and only
riding these days to reduce weight.
George Gould and Albert Kennedy wound up
the afternoon by giving young Kingdom Gould
and Jay Could a chance TO show what they
could do with the ball II is really pleasing
such a busy Mr. Gould bringing up
his sporty boys in this way Kingdom Is the taller
OF and fine strategy. and literally rides
as if set springs-in fact, a finished hOrseman.
| His direction is good and he is the ball.
Directing his brother. he fearlessly raced out Mr..
| Kennedy who put up for his benefit speed OF
| champion form. Then he and Jay stole the ball
| cutely from the adults. and little boy Jay,
veritable equine marvel. twisted around like magic,
| and then tapped the ball skyward. and then again
full across field that his brother could pos
| session and score a beautiful goal The boys made
| two in the first period while their mounts were
fresh. but the second period tired them out. and
| the pretty little match closed with three the
! score boards for Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Kennedy.
