Game

Au-Wilmlngton roller polo team cap
tured the second game Of it's series with
the Springs League Eve for the STATE
championship cup at Eleventh Street Rink
last night the Springs champions being
defeated by a score Of to 1 in fast con-
test. ALI Wilmington boys really surprised
the Country Rink lads by their speed,
which was undlminished from beginning
to end of the fray.
Tho Springs League team has developed
a system of team WORK. which along with
the speed of it's players, accounts for it's
great winning form lately. The All-Wil-
mington boys. however. threw a brick
into the team work of the Country Pink
five, and from that time on IL was a pur-
suit for possession of the D. a I. The Springs
boys several times. particularly Cloward,
Beatty and Stoddard, tried TO get their
team play under way, but Cwamer
Chandler and Ray Lenderman We're too
fast for them and the rushes Of the latter
n keeping after the BAN did not give
Cloward and Beatty an opportunity to get
their slSilful passing started.
The first score for Wilmington was made
by Creamer after twelve minutes Of
play. 1t was a beautiful drive from the
side nearly half way down the floor
Creamcr by the way, played the game OF
his life last night He showed remark
able speed, persistency in following the
ball and put up a game as clean as 1t
could be consistent with fast work.
There was no further scoring I'm the drst
half. although Cloward drove in ban
that bounded out and therefore didn't
count
After FIVE minutes OF play in the second
half Beatty took advantage Of an open
ing and sneaked I'm a goal from in front
of Wilmington's cage. Three minutes later
Chandler scored for Wilmington with a
deft shot From that time on the contest
waged fast and furious, but the Springs
boys wero unable to score. While team
work did not stand out prominently. in
dividual work was conspicuous on both
sides. Chandler was as speedy as Creamor
Ia the rushes for ll-Wilmington and put
up a fine game Ray Lenderman at center
broke up many rushes of Beatty and
Cloward I'M great shape. Murder" Lender
man. Of Lenox team. played half back for
An-Wilmington and made a record for
himself by his defensive work and Henry
stopped many a drive at his goal by
/ Cloward and Beatty
! For the Springs boys the hardest and
best work was done. as usual. by Glow
ard and Beatty, even II they couldn't get
their combination shots under way. stod-
dard also put up fast offensive and de-
fensive game at center and the work OF
Yates and Semen was of the best, they
shunung off many hard drives at their
cage. This gives Wilmington one game

series. The next game will be on Mon
