IL rained I'm torrents Just before IN. v,-,.

was wet and sogzy the ponies held .b.s-
feet In the most amazing manner. Th.-.
was Lttie or no slipping ard no sccifs,.,
marred the contest. although ths trrf "a,
badly cut up
The Ranelagh team was the favorir. s.,.
try as the men would they FUND as-
masters in the Hurlinzhan four. who 49,
played a faster and better game since tsa-
arrival in this country. A change was ra4,
IN the lineup and worked wonders. Csp,si,
Miller PLAYED at No ,, and hts work wa,
dashing and effective. He scored two xoal,
Oy accurate shots within the first four mir.
utes OF play. and added two more hsf,r,
the game was over.
De Crespigny played in Captain Nr.-,
old place at back. and his defensivs work
was little short OF phenomenal Tnrss
times he cut CIR what locked ike an.
goals by stopping the ball or turning n
aside within ten feet of the posts. viii,
his drives in clearing the BAH were hard
and sure
Drury's play in The last period stood o..
as one OF the features OF the game Mou-t
ed on an exceptionally fast pony. hs was
all oUer the field. riding or his opponents
from the ball and hitting with great ac.
curacy.
Every player on the Raaslagh team
scored one goal. but Gin was penalzs1 hslf
point for hooking maIlets In the nnai
period. which was perhaps the fastest %
the six played. the fight RACED up and
down the field. with neither team able 10
score until the last minute. when Hundsl
shot a pretty goal for his team.
The birmingham players began with 4
rush in the first period and Captain Miller
shot the first goal IN I minute Q seconds
from a pretty pass from Drury. He to-
lowed this up with another long. accuTsrs
shot for the second goal in , minutes y
seconds. vt this point il looked as II the
Ranelagh team was outclassed. but after
that Il was nip and tuck. and as it turned
out. the whiriwind start of the Hurlngham
players accounted for the victory
With the score two goals to nothing
against them, the Ranelagh players voks
up. and Gill shot pretty goaI for bis team
IN ; minutes. In the second and fourth
periods each team scored a goal bur Hur-
hngnam had ths better or the third ant
