Six goals to five in favor of the Brit
great polo match yesterday on Francis
j. Carolans private field at Burlin-
game. The game was between English
and American-born players respective
ly and so evenly were they matched
that an extra period of play was nec-
essary to decide it. 1t was a brilliant
game and intensely exciting. With
the honor of their respective countries
at stake, four handsome gold match
boxes, presented by Mrs. Charles w.
Clark, a gift from herself, many pri-
vate wagers to be settled and a gall
lery of half a thousand people looking
on and cheering. there were unusual
exhibitions of daring on the part of
the players and all the mettle that was
in them was put into play.
The Englishmen led off with a goal
in the first period, scored by Menzies.
This was soon offset with one by Wal
ter Hobart. In the second period
neither side scored. Prescott gave the
visitors two more in the third and De
Crespigny raised it one in the fourth.
In this period Mackey scored one for
the Americans, so that the fifth period
opened with the score 4 to 2 in favor
of Great Britain. Menzies soon in
creased 1t to five and Burlingame be-
gan to despair Walter Hobart then
came to the rescue and with three
brilliant goals in succession and
amidst the widest applause concluded
the period with tie.
The last of these was a magnificent
play, in which he lifted the ball far
above the heads of his opponents in
front of him and goaled it at forty
yards distance. The sixth period was
full of exciting play, but neither side
could score and the tie remained un-
broken. Another period was ordered
and the foreigners finally scored. De
Crespigny was the successful one, and
the play ceased. The sides:
English (reds)-Sir George Prescott,
r. C. G. Menzies, Captain c. de Cres-
pigny and John Lawson.
American (white)-F. j. Caro1an, F.

TENNIS COURTS
FAIL TO CHARM
Majority of the City Play
ers Cross the Bay to
Witness Alameda Matches

IT was an off day yesterday at the
tennis courts. The weather was good,
but most of the players crossed the
bay, either TO participate in or witness
the Alameda County championship
tournaments The courts here were by
no means deserted, but only practice
games were INDUCED in and the con-
testants were for the most part lower
class players.
On the California Club courts one
continuous tournament match was
played - DR. LoveeroNe and w c
knOWlton, two of the best men in the
third class, met for the third time.
Victory once more went to Knowlton.
On the occasion of their first meeting
IOVegrOve won by small margin.
When they met for the second time
Knowlton carried off the honors, but
had nothing to spare. The third and
deciding match was also close. All
three sets played were 6-4. Knowlton
took the first and third, while Love-
grove had TO be content with second.
Knowlton, who has come I'D from
near the bottom of the fourth class,
now occupies third position in the third
class. Dr. Lovegrove is by no means
discouraged and if possible will take
Knowlton on again next Sunday.
