WESTBCRY. l.. l., May 31.-The polo
championship match betN cen the Amer
lean and british teams has been post
poned until 4.30 tomorrow afternoon,
owing to rain.
Hopes for another American victory
this year in the big international event
ran high, and odds on the first match
of the series of three games, which will
be started at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow af-
ternoon, are and to in favor of the
Meadow Brooks over the English army
team.
America will be represented by L.
Waterbury, J. n. Waterbury, II. P.
Whitney, and D. Milburn. all Of whom
played in the 1863 match when this Coun-
try took the championship international
trophy. England will be represented by
Capt. L. ST. G. Cheape, Lieut.. a. n.
Edward, Capt. Hardness Lloyd, and
Capt. II. H. Wilson. The last two were
on the 1909 English team.
Despite the recent defeat of the Eng
lish team by several New York fours in
practice games, the finest polo ever
seen here is anticipated. Both teams
have had a rest of two days and the
ponies today were said to be in the
best of shape.
Society's elite from New York. Wash
ington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia will
be present, as we'll as high Government
officials from washington. Among
these latter will be George Won l..
Meyer, Secretary of the Navy.
Joshua Crane, jr., of Boston, former
Harvard football star, will referee:
Capt. +. w Barrett. of England AMI
India, and c. R. Snowden will be UNI
pires.
August Belmont, ST., who was thrown
and stepped on as he was playing d
practice game yesterday, was reported
not dangerously hurt, and he said to-
day he will attend the game.
In the game of polo the players. on
ponies, four to each side, use long
handled mallets and white wooden
ball slightly smaller than a croQuet
ball. The object is to drive the ball
between goal posts. at the end of a
field 900 by $50 feet. Deliberately
driving the ball over ones own side
to prevent the opponents scoring is a
safety. Dangerous or careless horse
manship constitutes a foul. Goal
counts one point: safety, minus Il,
and foul minus Z.
The game as played under interna-
tional rules has eight periods of
seven and a half minutes each; three
minutes between fourth and fifth pc
riods; two minutes rest after each
scoring. The sides change after each
score, as in football.
When the ball crosses the side
lines the teams line up for a throw
in. Ponies may be changed every FIVE
minutes.
