JOHNNY REBSLOSE
TO INJUN BRAVES
Spectators Cheer Warriors
When They bangle Two
SCaIpS TO Their Belts

Somewhere in the category Of Rebel
songstry there's song about the pro-
verbal cat and his tail--"taking it
home in front of him" An aggregation
of Johnny Rebs known to the polo con-
of Baltimore and elsewhere
as the ALI Baltimore roller polo team
may Doc like this cat. To give the gem
nemen from the Monumental city the
credit due them, however IL may be
known that they hurriedly consented
to come here to hll last nights engage
ment. consequently consideration must
be given TO the fact that they were
strange one to another so far as their
play was concerned The team as con-
stitutcd had never practced together,
which is paramount 70 success especial
ly i'm polo contests and this probably
explains the ragged team work eH-
denced last night on the part of the
Robs.
There was joy In the teppoes last
night 10 the victory over the Rebel
palefaces. Medicine Man Pop Grant
wore his widest sunny Jim" smile and
he had an extra pot of sarvis berries
aud several peace pipes for his braves.
ana the way those Injuns chuckled and
danced to the whoop- e-ees Of their
sympathizers made the reservation re-
sound again and again. And the band
with its Injun music. its tittle-tattle
calls of the braves to war: enhanced by
the general commotion of those who
came 10 witness the fray. coupled with
the usual excitement resultant from
the scrimmagcs of the battle made for
an evening OF genuine polo interest.
Ii must be said i'm passing, which is
no uncharitablencss toward Referee
Taylor 10 say that hc is etirely too
slow n announcing his decisions rela-
tive to the fouls and offplays of tho
knights of the crooks" Last night
was no exception TO this weakness On
the part of Mr. Taylor, which is due,
il is hoped TO his non-assuroty of the
hairs splitting rules of the game. Last
night he left the audience i'm auuze
as well as the newspaper men, regard
ing play made by George for the
visitors who carried the ball almost
at win the entire length of the floor
scoring one for his team. The ball did
not remain I'm the cage. hut bounded out
onto tho floor. big Man-Afraid- Of
His Dog Chandler, with his eagle eye
saw the bali ON the floor and pounccd
upon II like "a hawk upon a chicken
and carried the bali to the cage of
the visitors. making a goal Every
one wondered what happened, but MIR
Taylor let them wonder and they are
still wondering hut he should have
announced the why's and wherefores
of the play. After George had made his
play both teams skated down the floor
oppositely 20 change places. conse-
qucntly tho goal for Mohawks did not
count as both teams were out Of ac-
tion according to the rules.
The game at times was not without
T its roughness. hut despite il an the
game was interestingly played The
Mohawks met a stone wall In Hockhei-
mer the goal of tho visitors as he
stopped az least six good shots. Logan
and George eXcelled for the Rebs. while
each man OF the Indians can hang out
his wampum with big red letters de-
picting heap good fight over white
man." "Prancing- -Son-of-the- Forest
