short hit TO Captain Edwards the ball
was rclayed again TO Captain Cheape,
who by three tremendous blows OF his
mallet carried the ball practically the

| As the men followed the ball after this

British officers were getting first to the
ball. and only the fact that they threw

goal went up for the American side.

There was a noticeable slackening OF
