 tators and polo experts the English players did not show the vaunted team play which had been credited to them before the game. Neither did their ponies outclass the American mounts. In fact, the reverse was quite the case and in almost every run down field the American players either held their own or outrode their competitors in the race for the ball.
 Superb Combination Work. The combination work of the Amer No. 1; J. M. Waterbury, Jr., and later L. F. Stoddard at No. 2; Captain H. P Whitney at No. 3, and Devereaux Milburn at back, was superb. The challenging team, consisting of Cap tain L. St. George Cheape at No. 1; Captain A. Noel Edwards at No. 2; Captain R. G. Ritson at No. and Captain Vivian Lockett at back ap peared unable to work together con- sistently, due in all probability to the close covering" of the Americans. Odds Of to 5 on English Players. Hardly had the game begun. before it was seen that the odds of 8 to , on the Englishmen were not warrant ed, for the Big Four carried the play into the English end of the field and kept the invaders so busy defending
 
 the part of the challengers were tenn porarily out of the question.
 The Visitors Stunned.
 The drives of the Americans were made both with excellent direction and length and they never appeared to have difficulty in hooking the ball out of scrinmages. The Englishmen ap- parentIy were stunned by the fierce ness of the cup defenders attack and failed to hold together in team work. The three goals scored in the first peflod went to the United States and it was not until the second period that the English four got going.
 English Brace Up in Second Period. Ritson and Cheape cut loose with some remarkable long drives and the ion that proved threatening. The work of Captain Lockett at back was re- markable in view of the attack piled at him. Larry Waterbury was play ing a rushing game and his encoun- ters with Edwards and Cheape were frequent and thrilling. Finally he was penalized for crossing Cheape, who had just started England's first goal with a fine shot from a hard angle. Larry Waterbury scored the Amer tcan goal in this period in 3.03.
 Third and Fourth Periods.
 
 ''The English four were rushed hard by the defenders early in the third period and Larry Waterbury scored for the Americans in 31 seconds. The battle was carried up and down the field without a score the remainder of the period. Edwards and Cheape after a spectacular ride down the field had q clear shot at goal which Cap tain Cheape missed. The fourth saw the Americans missing several easy chances to score and Captain Cheape also failed from clear field. The only goal of the period was scored by Larry Waterbury in 7.19 which he partly nullified by foul in crossing Captain Ritson.
