POLO PLAYERS GOT
RUFFLEO IN SECOND
EXCITING GAME
Only Man on the Floor Who
Did Not Become "Peeved"
Was Steady and Reliable
Ado Mansfield.
RICHMOND TRIMMED THE
FASTENERS AGAIN.
The Score, 8 to 7, Which
Marked the First Game Was
Duplicated Last Night
Match Was Sensational.
(By Tort.)

After wounding the feelings of the
Eastern Champs Tuesday night by
rasping them s to Z. the Pugnacious
quintette repeated last night with
duplicate score, thus pouring carbolc
acid on the wounded feelings refer
red to above.
1t was an assault and battery kind
OF a game, all the players, except one,
suffering with COmbativeness with the
malicious intent 10 provoke hostilties
The one exception mentioned was Ado
Mansfield. The placid center of the
Quakers continued as of yOre to skate
up and down the carcass of +. Hig-
gins in a thoroughly businesS-likc and
appropriated manner. This is such a
stereotyped performance, that it is
probable Mr.. Higgins would enter a
protest did Ado fail to pull it off
However he resents this Familiarity
with his person on the part of any
other player, so when Cunny, Sr at
tempted to ride him bareback last cv-
ening, the fast flying midget ruffled
pin feathers and made a hostile dem

About fifteen hundred peasantry en- |

duced from the contest by a Country
club ball.
The game was a mixture of polo,
bear hugging and imitation chicken
scraps. There was just enough hos
tile atmosphere connected with the
contest to make it spicey and thor
oughly enjoyable. Unlike the first
game. the Quakers got away in the
lead and by hard, desperate playing
managed to hold it until the last gong
sounded. In the first period one of
the finest exhibitions of polo ever
seen in this city was witnessed. At
The jump off the Quakers started in on
their old dashing style, batting four
counts into the netting and about a
hundred balls against the aching pedal
cient Mr. Fido Sutton.
Exciting Incidents.
With this lead staring them in the
lace Messrs Higgins, Hart, Cameron,
Gardner and Sutton proceeded to get
busy. These proceedings caused
more excitement than a Texas rough
house. In exactly two minutes and
ten seconds the Eastern Champs rain
ed three tallles back of the dazed Jes-
sup, demon goal tend. pulling the
Quaker lead down to one point. Cum
ny, Sr. extended this lead to two
points just before the curtain on the
first period by side tracking a beauty
past Sutton. Both centers, Mansfield
and Cameron, counted in the goal
making in this period. Each scoring
On vicious drives. The other counts
were made by the forwards through
spectacular passing and wonderful
floor work by Bone, Higgins, Cunning
ham, Sr.. and Hart
In the second some more pugna-
cious polo was tapped. Each team
counted twice while Mr.. Jessup emily
ened the ceremonies by engaging the

schmidt affair. Just as Mr. Hart had
occurred the toe hold on the Quaker
goal guardian and was attempting 10
shove him through the top of the cage
into the netting, Referee Williams re
sponded 70 riot alarm and restored
order. \ few minutes later the COM
Dat was again halted by Williams call
