ing Game in Which South.
erners Lose 4 to 0
WINNERS GIVEN SPURS

The event of the week for the guests
at the Colorado was the polo game be-
tween two teams made up respectively
of Philadelphia and Southern girls
which settled a friendly rivalry that
has arisen in the course of the day
practice at the polo grounds in which
the girl players have WED with the
men in developing skill with the stick.
Everybody at the Colorado was deep
| ly interested in the match and when
time was called Wednesday afternoon
a throng of spectators were present to
cheer on their favorites. The Phila-
delphia team was made up of the
Misses Louise and Deborah Brock and
Miss Dick and the Southern team of
the Misses Scott and Carroll of Mem
phis and Miss Hastings of Washington.
The game itself was fast and exciting,
playing, no fouls being made nor any
penalties imposed. The Quaker lassies
carried away the honors, winning by a
score of four to nothing, with two goals
to the credit of Miss Dick and one for
each of the Misses Brock.
The winning team was coached by
Tom Baxter and the losers by E. Steph.
en-, both of Glenwood, while Norman
Brock of Philadelphia and W. R. Frost
of Charleston, s. c., did yeomen SER
vice as mascotss Bradish V. johnson,
filled the role of umpire to general sat
isfaction and escaped being mobbed
through the fact that his familiarity
with clubs enabled him to keep an
eagle eye on those welded so skilfully
by the young ladies. d. Steward kept
tab on hom tempus was fugiting.
The winners were rewarded with sets
of spurs given by Harris Brock, the
presentation speech being made by
Werner Z. Reed of Colorado Springs
who was spurred to eloquence by the
momentousness of the occasion. The
losers received loving cups, handsomely
timed. Nor were the coaches and mas.
cots forgotten, the former being the
recipients of one cocktail apiece and
the latter bouquets of sweet peas tied
with baby ribbon.
Following the game Miss Gilkisou
served tea and in the evening the
players and officials were the guests of
Harris Brock at a box party at the
opera house where "The Montana Lin.

SawmiII Near Colorado Sp'gs
Wrecked. .Workmen Have
Miraculous Escape
INVESTIGATION BEGUN
Special to the Post.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 90
An explosion this morning in the saw
mill of r. NJ. Weestman at Hustled, 10
miles north of here on the d. and R. G..
caused the death of Mrs. Caroline KRIS
chef, the serious injury of her son
in-law, II. J. Manning and slight in
jury to several workmen.
The explosion occurred about l0:30
o'clock at which time half Il Dozen
men were working in the mill and Mrs.
Kirschoff happened to be there talking
to her son-in-law. None of the work
men were more than slightly bruised,
which is considered miraculous as the
force of the explosion was so terrific
that the mill was completely demolish-
ed and huge timbers and pieces of steel
were hurled several hundred feet. 1t
is believed Mrs. Kirschofr was struck
by flying missile, altough hardly n
mark was to be found on her body.
The cause of the explosion is not
known but it is believed to have been
due to defective boilers although the
boilers were considered to be in good
condition. The coroner is making an
investigation.
