1t looked as if the perseverance of the
enemy would overcome us in the end
And when the fifth period came, and
first Captain Ritson and then Cap
tain Cheape scored goals that fairly
scintillated with snap and brilliancy
there crept over the vast assemblage
a pensiveness that wasn't comfort
able at all, and sneaIing suspicion
that perhaps the day that looked so
bright for us would eventually ter
inmate In darkness. These tallies of
Ritson and Cheape made the game
somewhat close, 5-3 to be exact, in
our favor. Even with the sixth Pc
Rod over and only two more periods
to play, there was still an air Of un-
rest about the place. England seemed
to be getting better in her work. Her
play was steadier now and she was
beginning to get in combination at
lacks that made her show promi-
nently in the scrimmages. The truth
is, although our lead was figuratlvely
safe. we didn't feel certain until play
was over and we were sure we
couldn't lose.
C
Good, consistent teamwork beyond
the question of a doubt won the day
for the Yankees. Under the leader
ship of Captain Whitney the men
followed suit like majors. Larry
Waterbury, Monte Waterbury. Whit
ney himself and Devereux Milburn
played like brothers all and as if
they were striving to protect the
family plate. 1t is an all-for-one
team. There is harmony there Per-
haps our horses are not the best and
our men are not the most skilful, but
those four who dashed and dashed
their way to victory over the Eng
,lishmen yesterday will take some
beating when it comes right down
to inside and concerted play One
fed the ball to the other and none
was out for any individual stunts.
Teamwork was the one aim and
that's what won the game. The
Americans played together and in
punches. They followed the ball well
and they missed little, and they took
advantage of nearly every mistake,
every opening. No better game was
ever played by an American polo
team, which might show, too, that
the English team is also a nifty ag-
gregation.
Most of the honors, though not all
of the honors, were carried off by
Larry Waterbury, who scored four OF
the Americans seven goals. His play
was startling and he never once fall
tered, although it was said previously
that he wasn't in shape at all. His
condition instead was marvellous and
both his dashing play and his judg-
ment of play were superb. He led
the way at clip that would be
hard to surpass, and the Englishmen
rarely bested him in the race for the
ball or in the clashes when one was
trying to ride off the other. Near the
END, III the IdSb pei iou, 1atiS was
thrown from his horse and he took
his own time in securing new
mount, which rather nettled every
body, players and all, yet Waterbury
himself was like stole and posed
and talked as the pony he desired
was being prepared. Then he dashed
back on the field and in the fray and
made a goal before you could say
Jack ROBINSON" Such were the
efforts of Larry Waterbury and he
earned every bit of the applause that
came his way
Next to Larry Waterbury in the
way of clever work came that of
Milburn. His main assistance came
protecting the goal, which he
did in great style. He scored one
point, too, in the first period when
the Americans were on the rampage
for fair and throughout the contest he
rarely failed to make good when the
play came up to him. Monte Water
bury was aggressive if nothing else.
He rode like mad and was always in
the thick of the battle. He scored
two goals and was generally in
