SPORTS AND
ATHLETICS

Basketball on horseback is the latest
and also one OF the most dangerous
and thrilling sports thus far devised.
The game has found considerable IA
vor among New York's rich young
men, for it is only the well-to-do who
can afford to play 1t
Four players make up team. The
play is exactly the same as in the or
binary basketball afoot. Scoring is
similar and the object, Of course, is TO
throw the ball into your opponents
basket thereby scoring goal.
When the signal is given to begin
play each side, all the players mount
ed. lines up under It's own basket.
When the referee losses the ball into
the center of the playing space one
man from each four dashes out at full
speed toward the rolling ball and dives
from his horse In the effort to be the
first to touch it. The player touching
the leathern sphere first is entitled to
its possession.
With the ball on his arm he Is all

ponent's goal. AS the rules require
that no player hold the ball more than
five seconds, the object OF the play is
for the side that has the ball to ad-
vance toward the opponents goal by
continually passing the bali from one
to the other, always going forward UNI
I'll, the lucky moment arrived, one OF
the players can toss the ball into the
enemy's basket
Passing Is the great, feature OF the
game. So expert have the star players
become that they can dash up and
down the court, wheeling and turning
and charging, keeping up all the time
a continuous passing. All the players
catch the ball with one hand and guide
their mounts with the other.
Opposing players, OF course, make
their efforts to get the ball by block
Ing the passes. Once the ball falls to
the ground the other side dives for it,
too. That Is their chance to rush It to-
ward the other goal. AS in the case of
the opening play, the player who
touches the ball first gets its undisput-
ed possession until he mounts and Is
off toward the goal.
All this sounds very easy, but those
who have tried II think differently.
Sometimes an exlgency of the play will
see five or six men diving simultane-
ously from their horses toward the
bouncing ball right under the hoofs OF
The nags. There is pretty good
chance Of being hurt, but 50 expert
have the games devot.es become that
