played well. and although he missed
some rather easy hits, he acquitted
himself creditably on the whole. Eng

improved brand of polo Right from the
start they showed more vim in hitting
and more dash and reckIesness in ham

Freake Plays Well.
The substitution of Freake turned out
well for England. He was ION the BALI

On the American side Milburn stood
out prominently above his conferees.

saved his territory many and many a
time from the rushes of the British. Not
alone that. but when a chance to hit
for a goal presented itself MiIburn was
there in a trice and with his stick fash

of chances and deserves the credit of
being instrumental in keeping down the
score of the challengers.

was hit, Larry Waterbury broke his
stick. and that was given as a reason
for the English score Some good ex-

onslaught on the British ranks. Several
swift galloping matches ensued, until af-
