MEADOW BROOK, June 1.-THE
scant quarter of point by which
] America beat the invading English
men. tells alone the measure of the
superiority of the winners. For the
first three periods, the Americans
were clearly out-ridden and out-played,
individually and as aateam. The Brit
tons were true to form at the start
and literally swept the Americans
from before them. They played the
dashing, slashing fighting game that
they had met from the Americans two
years ago and again last Tuesday.
The Americans didn't get started I'M
til Stoddard. of Waterbury, scored
two goals in the fourth period.
At glance the score looks like the
Englishmen deserved a victory in
view of the fact that America won
quarter of point, which was deduct
ed from the English teams total,
when CAPTAIN Ritzon made the safety.
This is not correct, for Ritzon showed
the ball through his own goal posts
from where 1t lay less than foot
from the goal line, as three American
players went tearing after him. I'm
fdoubtedly one would have driven the
ball for the sixth goal had Ritzon not
acted that way.
The playing Of Captain Cheape for
the losers. was brilliant at all times.
Repeatedly he threw himself and his
mount into mixup In a scramble for
the ball and each time he suddenly
set toward the goal after driving the
ball far out of the melee.
Al, But it was a substitute on the Eng
lish team, as we'll as substitute on
the American team, who outshot his
teammates. Freake, for the British,
kept the hard riding, fierce, driving
Larry Watert ury practically helpless
until the sixth period, when Water
bury finally scored twice. Freake
lonly scored once but three different
times he rode down Waterbury as the
latter had easy chances for goal and
literally snatched it from under the
American's mallet On another occas-
ion Whitney of the American team,
drove the ball to within scoring dis
j lance, only to have Freake ride him
off in the final run for last swing.
4 Again he cheated Devereux EIilburn of
what he expected would be certain
goal by the same slashing, hard rid
ing tactics which had swept his team
mates to win last Tuesday. Two
goals were made by brilliant passing
by his team mates and remarkable
drives by Waterbury. The last drive
which sent the ball through for a
point was an overland swing, which
sent the ball between the front and
hind legs of his pony, while on a dead
run across the field. 1t was the pref
test play OF the day. Isl. crowd at
