that there was not sore leg or bruise
among the lot. At hitting the ball off the
sides for goal Larry Waterbury was at
his old tricks. The ball shot over the
turf straight and true, so as TO substan-
tiate the explanation as to why he had
seemingly failed during the playing of
the cup match.

The American captain displayed as
much energy IN keeping his men playing

international series was not already
safely tucked away. There were fire.
Then the team played with three men.
The side board ball racing and the cir

out. Always the ponies were watched
for any sign. Of baking at the ball or

This change is considered a wise one.

that II would result In the Englishmen

was pointed out that Captain Cheape, for
some unknown reason, was far below his
usual form in hitting for the goal. He

every one of the Americans lot Of
reckless gallops that they are likely to
remember for months to come. Captains
Cheape and Lloyd were at Phipps field
for part Of the day, but the English team
as a whole did not leave Its headquar-
ters at Cedarhurst.
To the surprise OF the officials at
Meadow Brook hundreds of motor cars
and literally thousands of spectators
swarmed over to the polo field yester-
day. A threatening and overloaded sky
did not appear to deter this crowd who
seemed to believe that an international
polo match was to be decided, despite
the announcement to the contrary which
had been printed for two days in the
newspapers.
The crowd inspected the field, although
none Of the visitors was allowed to go
on the turf, which is being carefully pre-
pared for the second match tomorrow.
Nearly all OF the crowd at one time or
another watched the playing Of members
of the Meadow Brook Club In the regu-
lar round robin on the No. field. There
was some lively hitting combined with
an occasional spirited ride off or gallop
