ANOTHER GAME
FOR THE SPRINGS

For the second time the Springs ioi-
Ter polo team vanquished the LehvN
five last night when, in Eleventh Street
Rink by a score Of A to 3 in the cham
pionship series.
For a scientific and hard fought con-
test last nights game has not been
eoualled in this city, II being neees-
sarv to play an extra ten minutes 20
decide the game one way or another'
At that ii was with but three minutes
Of play left that Beatty, for the Springs
shot the winning goal The eight hur
dred spectators we're on edge during
the entire game as, until the deciding
score was made, Il was hard TO tell
upon which side that victory would
alight
In rushing the Lenox men were su-
nerior tc their opponents and they car
ried the ball over the floor in an eN-
pert manner Several times hin OF
Stevens pulled the ball out Of scrim-
mages. took II down the floor and shot
FOR the Springs goal and but for tie
strong defence Of the Springs wouf
rrcbaoly have scored. Both teams were
strong in the defensive and the goals
and half backs Of each prevented s"me
hard drives ana interfered with rushes
that looked dangerous.
In the first half after one minute
plaving Stevens shot the first goal 70
Ienox! Seven minutes later he made
another score. In the same man, top
minutes after Lenox's second goal
Cloward shot the rubber into the Lenox
cage. Five minutes later Beatty lid
the same thing and the half ended with
the score 2 and 2.

the first 20 score, Beatty making a goal
after seven minutes Of play. Hill even
ed ND matters for Lenox two minutes
later, by driving a third goal for his
toam. The second half ended with the
score tied at 8 and 3.
The Springs players probably are de-
serving OF more credit than their op-
ponents for in the first half they bat
tied the Lenox team for nearly eight
minutes with but four inen on the
foor. Through a decision OF Referee
Traynor the game was not stopped
when two Springs men broke their
skates and had 70 retire. The Springs
team did not have substitutes ready
and Traynor refused to call time 20 al
low the regular players time 70 fix their
skates.
Between the first and second halves
several colored boys who had never
been on skates took part in a raco
which proved an amusing event.
In a preliminary game the Blumen-
thai team defeated the Pusey and
Jones team by the score of 2 TO 0,
The next game in the championship
series will be played at the Eleventh
Street Rink on Thursday night.
