When Jerry Braxton, twenty-five

POLO PRACTICE
Of HIGH ORDER
TEAM DOES SOME
CLASSY PLAYING WHILE PRE-
PAIRING FOR INTERNA~
NATIONAL CONTESTS.

LAKEWOOD, n. j., April 23.--
Polo of the international variety
is featuring the brushes being played
by the American team The same
earnest spirit that has been notice
able throughout the practice games
was again in evidence and everybody
in the two line-ups played the game
for all il was worth.
The second game, on account of its
closeness, and the exciting finish, was
the more spectacular and interesting
Of the two. The white quartette led
for nearly three quarters of the con-
test, but in the last part of the third
and the fourth period, the red team
forged TO the front with a rush, and
pulled out S to victory. Monte"
Waterbury opened with a goal for
the red four in the thirty-five seconds
Of play, and he again got off with
the ball at the opening Of the second
session, carrying it down to the goal
and driving to Stoddard. who made
the actual tally. On the next throw
in. Harrison breezed down the field
and looked dangerously near a score
until Whitney, by some fine riding,
so harrassed him that his shot went
q triffe wide of the goal.
The ball was gathered in by the
red four however, when phipps
drove off from the base line, and Har-
rison this time got away with his
score. Stoddard secured the third
white goal with a fine ckhander in
fifty seconds. and then Whitney again
saved goal for his team, by inter
cepting Milburns drive. 1t began to
look like a white victory. especially
when Stoddard made a runaway race
at the beginning of the third
ehukker. hanging up tally in fif-
teen seconds.
Larry Waterbury soon after es-
capped from the bunch. and driving
along the boundary, appeared to have
a sure goal before him. but Whitney,
who played masterful game
throughout, was again on deck, and
clipped Waterburys last shot out of
danger. Near the end of the period,
Rumsey made the second red goal.
The fourth chukker opened with
the red four two goals behind, but
Rumsey Immediately got in a great
run down the field, driving TO Mil
burn. who scored a long range goal
It was not long before Larry Water
bury again carried the ball down to
the goal, passing to Rumsey for the
, score. This evened the tally, and
when Mi1burn made sensational
gallop from the next throw in. scoring
ten second before the bell rang. The
red four had the game by one goal
In the first game Whitneys vete~
ran combination proved too much for
the opposing four. defeating them by
a score OF 8 to 2 Ia Agassiz played

showed his versatility in going in the

Burleson Is due considera BILE credit

one man secured free transportation

The changed batting order necessi-

worked like charm. Eberts led off
and is credited with a pair Of swats
and a run. Bresnahan landed for a
couple: Lusky added a single and n
run to the total, while Strain topped
off an excellent day tapping out two
safe ones.
Bresnahan errored, on his only

WALL STREET GOSSIP.

NEW YORK, Auril 23.---A decrease
Of nearly five hundred cars was the
report Of the American Railway as
Aociation for the two weeks ended
April 18th. The net surplus of idle
cars is therefore practically the same
as that Of the previous fortnight The
detailed figures Of the report showed
that In no one action was there any
pronounced change in the car situa-
ton. II may seem rather worth not
ing that a year ago at this date the
ret 1urpfus of idle cars was 1889 an
increase of 1861 as compared with
the report of the two previous weeks.
just about this time q year ago the
anthracite trade of the country was
practically suspended by the strike of

Reports from business men, rner-
chants and manufacturers. In all sec

pointed out that this development Is

that business In the country is prob
ably being done on an exceptionally
safe basis for just that reason All
reports concur in one particular, and
that in that factories and merchants

countered from large stocks Of un-

Bond dealers say that there IL n

Austria from attempting to persuade

If this is so, he is certainly getting

Wonder OF wonders and then some
more wonders. Newport News has
played a real ball game at last and
now seems TO be fairly started on
the season. Yesterday the Ship
builders held the Pirates to a single
run and did not make but one error
during the entire contest How's that
for the cellar champions? The fact
that they were only able 10 get three

errors which Portsmouth made and
